BascoVanVeli:


Guy don't argue blindly. Go and fact check don't sit down and make up things to say. Everybody knows Ambrose' issue was never fitness so why even try that?
Another article this time new.

BascoVanVeli:


He had a good relationship with Rodgers. Like i said check the facts, these things are online im not talking out my backside here. I know wat i'm talking about.

BascoVanVeli:


Kindly drop ur link to that story.

komekn:


So what did Celtic do to Efe, considering he had quite a few successful seasons at Celtic, your statement is not substantiated. Because it's in the press doesn't necessarily make it true.

REVEALED: HOW POOR ATTITUDE COST CHIKATARA A SPOT IN SUPER EAGLES SQUAD FOR EGYPT GAMES


The poster boy of Nigeria AFCON 2016 team Chisom Chikatara missed out on a spot in Nigeria’s ill fated back to back AFCON 2017 qualifiers game against Egypt due to his poor showing in training.


Chikatara according to a coach of the team who spoke to Owngoalnigeria.com on the condition of anonymity said the 22 year old was feeling like a superstar in training who felt like he needed to less to get into the team.


“Chikatara wasn’t pulling his weight during training, limped off too often and generally wasn’t committed, he left us with no chance but to drop him, I am afraid if so early into his career he is beginning to exhibit such” He told Owngoalnigeria.com.


Already he is set to join Morocco’s league leaders Wydad Casablanca when registration reopens in the league in the summer and presently he has three goals for his Nigeria league side Abia Warriors.

BascoVanVeli:


Where did they say he couldn't finish drills? Poor attitude or unfit? Which one?

BascoVanVeli:


what are u talking about I watched celtic fans boo this man for scoring an own goal against barca, a friendly that they lost 4-0. The fans never respected what he did in the past they were all to ready for him to go. The fact that u never heard of any of this show celtic is nowhere to be.

TheGoodJoe:


The fans not respecting Ambrose is not the reason he faded. After the incident you talked about, Ambrose went to the World Cup as a key Super Eagles player and played well. His speed was still there by then.

TheGoodJoe:



Chikatara wasn’t pulling his weight during training, limped off too often.

I wonder what else you want.

BascoVanVeli:


Tell me when u saw that his speed left him? What match exactly? Stop making stuff up.

BascoVanVeli:


I already posted a link to an article with Siasia giving his reason, why are u hinging to an unproven report. "limped off" suggests that the coaches felt he wasn't playing through pain enough. U don't limp when u are tired. A limp is for when u carry an injury.

TheGoodJoe:


Are you saying Ambrose is still as fast as he used to be?

BascoVanVeli:


Name ur instance don't ask me 21 questions.

Joebie:
We don't get goals from Ighalo and Ideye. He has the POTENTIAL of bringing that. Or what else do you want him to bring?

Icon4s:


Did you not watch matches of Ezekiel, Nwofor and Ujah? How have they ended up?

My take is the young man is doing great at the moment. But let him continue doing great by also moving to a more competitive league and then we re-assess him.

Onyekuru is young and he will surely get his turn of call up in our subsequent games if he continues doing well.

edi287:

His numbers aren't better than that of Ideye despite playing in the MLS. So why bring him in? If we're talking about "potential", we should be talking of Osimhen and Issac Success, not a 26 year old Adi. Not saying he is too old, but he just doesn't bring anything new to the table.

tbaba1234:
Fanendo Adi scored 2 goals.. The second goal was especially good...

Icon79:


It's possible. But don't you think that Azubuike should be in the midst as well? I am surprised that they didn't consider inviting him to these series of friendlies, especially considering that we don't know what the form of Mikel is gonna look like in the next one year.


O pari

forgiveness:


Ezekiel Imoh and Ujah were snubbed by chop chop coaches.

It has nothing to do with their talents.

When they saw Nigerian coaches no like them, they decided to follow money.

Joebie:
Ideye does not replicate his club form (goals) when playing for the Super Eagles. While Ighalo was banging goals for Watford, how many did he score for Nigeria. Some players do better nationally, others do better at their clubs.. yet, others show same class for club and country. How do you get to compare what they can do for the SE when Adi hasn't been giving and equal chance. A player isn't necessarily doomed just because they play for an inferior league. He has the stats that deserves he should also get a chance. It's unfair to write off any player who is at least making a case.. potential doesn't necessarily have to do with age. A player who does not have a single cap doesn't bring anything new to the table? you still haven't answered my question. What do you want him to bring besides goals. And how can he prove that if he is not capped? What do you expect Osihmen to bring? dribbles?

Even if Adi's stats where better, you would say he plays in the MLS.

Ideye's stats:
https://www.whoscored.com/Players/36521/History/Brown-Ideye
+ 13 goals current season

So how did you do your calculation?

joseph1013:


He was unplayable in this match. Scored two goals...was brought down for a penalty for another goal. Contrary to what some would have us believe, this guy is good in hold-up play and can build from the back. He was building throughout the match. There is just too much sentiments in Nigerian football. People judge players even without watching them.

TheGoodJoe:


I am asking you because I do not get your point again. You are blaming Efe Ambrose fading on criticism after AFCON, despite him playing well after that period. So do you think Efe Ambrose is still as fast as he used to be?

Hey people, glad to be on nairaland.
