AFC Wimbledon Goalkeeper Visits Super Eagles London Camp, Holds Talks With Rohr ![]() Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper Edward Ogbebor-Onaiwu visited the Super Eagles Crowne Plaza Hotel camp on Wednesday, ahead of their friendly with Senegal. Contrary to speculations in the local media, the former Charlton Athletic wonderkid was never in contention to be handed a late call-up to the national team following the injury sustained by Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme and the non-availability of Daniel Akpeyi and Ikechukwu Ezenwa. Though Ogbebor-Onaiwu held a private chat with Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr, it is understood one of the topics discussed was about committing his international future to the three-time African champions. The 17-year-old, who is eligible to represent England, remains uncapped, but he trained with the Golden Eaglets back in 2016. A product of Crystal Palace, Onaiwu was accompanied by his agent at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22482 |

Wolves GK Carl Ikeme Unlikely To Recover Before Burkina Faso Friendly ![]() Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Carl Ikeme is unlikely to recover before the Super Eagles next international friendly with Burkina Faso at the Hive Stadium. The Nigeria Football Federation are optimistic that the Super Eagles first-choice goalie has not suffered a serious injury as they await the result of the scan conducted. “Carl (Ikeme) has been having hamstring and Achilles tendon issues but we did a scan on Wednesday night and we await the result. It is however good that the other goalkeepers are here,” Super Eagles team doctor Ibrahim Gyaran told thenff.com. In the absence of Ikeme, Chippa United goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi was selected ahead of Ikechukwu Ezenwa in Thursday’s meeting against Senegal. The Super Eagles will lock horns with Burkina Faso on Monday in London. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22480 |

Nigeria's National Team Gradually Bouncing Back - Fans Football enthusiasts in Enugu have applauded Thursday's 1-1 draw in the international friendly match between Super Eagles and Teranga Lions of Senegal. The enthusiasts on Friday said that Nigeria's national team was gradually bouncing back to reckoning in Africa and the world. They however expressed regret that the match was not broadcast live. Norbert Okolie, Chairman, Sports Writers Association (SWAN), Enugu Chapter, said the a 1-1 draw means that the Super Eagle is getting better day-by-day. "Senegal national team is a force to reckon with in Africa at the moment and they are in form; so, it only takes a brave team to stop them," he said. Okolie advised the players to up their performance against Bukina-Faso in their next game, stressing that the match would be more physical than the one against Senegal. Also, Crime Busters Team Manager, Ebere Amarizu, expressed happiness that the national team was growing with each game. Amarizu recalled that since Gernot Rohr took charge of the Super Eagles, the team had not lost a match, and urged them to ensure victory against Bukina-Faso on Monday. "What baffles me was the rate of players' discovery, and the coach still gets good results with unknown players. "Let us not forget that senior players like, Mikel Obi, Brown Ideye and others were not in the team, and beside Ekpeyi Daniel performed in the absence of Karl Ikeme," he said. Enugu State Boxing Coach, Blaise Ude, said that the match was a good one for Super Eagles as they prepare for 2019 Nations Cup qualifier with South Africa and the 2018 World Cup double header with Cameroon. "Had it been we won the match, it would have been better. A victory over Bukina-Faso will be a morale boaster for their subsequent matches ahead," he said. Another enthusiast, Otu Abam, said that the players showed that they were committed to do the country proud all the time. "In fact, the players did a great job against Senegal and all I have to say is that the days of Clemens Westerhof era is gradually coming back," Abam said. Moussa Sow gave the Senegalese the lead in the 54th minute while Kelechi Iheanacho, restored parity for the Super Eagles in the 83rd minute. Rohr's men will on March 27 face Bukina-Faso in another friendly at the same venue in London. Source: http://allafrica.com/stories/201703240745.html |

i'm sure they are still aware of Ighalo's goals drought.. lol But let me not diminish him. Let's remember him in his good times. But I hope we all agree here the current Super Eagles don't need the duo of Ighalo and Ideye. We've tried him again and again. Especially as we have new players that deserve to be tested. How about Anichebe, physical-wise? Me I will prefer Etebo as our number 10 oh, Although Mikel is still relevant. But at least it's a good thing that we finally have some good competition in that department. TheSuperNerd: |

I think what we need is a solid 9, although with Iheanacho we can survive without a natural 9. And also better options in defense. We need full backs that can really support the attack. I think Musa Muhammed will become a starter before the world cup. At least 5 of the UAE U-17 boys will be in SE by then. Come to think of Osihmen and Orji Okonkwo as well. The future is definitely bright. Rohr is a lucky man! I read he spoke with Ola Aina.. Who else are you looking at from the England-born players? TheSuperNerd: |

CHELSEA KID TO DITCH ENGLAND FOR NIGERIA? SUPER EAGLES CONFIRM OLA AINA TALKS Nizaar Kinsella The Blues full-back is wanted by the country of his parents' birth and watched the 1-1 draw with Senegal at Barnet. ![]() Chelsea youngster Ola Aina is wanted by Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr as he considers his international future with England. The 20-year-old was born in London and has made dozens of appearances for England at youth level, but a lack of appearances at Chelsea is hindering his chances of further progress. He has left himself out of the picture for England's Under-21s team while he makes a decision on who to represent at international level. Although a definitive decision has yet to be made by Aina, talks have been ongoing between Nigeria and the player for months. Chelsea’s top five teenage stars The Super Eagles' head coach Rohr was asked to clarify his intentions concerning Aina after his side's 1-1 draw with Senegal on Thursday. "It is normal to have this situation, when we have very good player [like Ola Aina] who can pick two teams," Rohr said in response to Goal. "We always leave the door open to young talent." ![]() Aina was in attendance at the match with his family at Barnet FC's The Hive Stadium and he was seen cheering on Nigeria, as Manchester City's Kelechi Iheanacho equalised, after an earlier Moussa Sow strike put Senegal ahead . Ex-Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel admitted back in October that he has been trying to convince Aina to swap England for Nigeri a as the pair trained together on the fringes of Antonio Conte's first-team squad. Aina only made his Chelsea debut in August against Bristol City after signing a new deal over the summer. However, he has since gone on to only add two starts and four more appearances since then.

You are actually right... the current Super Eagles can fly so high without Ideye and Ighalo now..... I just gave them mentions just to be lenient..... and yeah..... loollll... they will surely remember Ighalo's drought in front of goal. Anyway... they are still on the fringes of the team. Anichebe would have been invited if he was fit..... Rohr has his eyes on him too. Anichebe's archilles heel have always been injuries and the timing of the injuries. For the no 10 role.... I understand your preference for Etebo.... that dude is a powerhouse player and never get tired.... plus he is technically gifted and got goals in him. Defensively, he is also an asset..... But still you cannot say Etebo will just play there when Mikel and Iwobi are very much around. The Competition is great and fierce.... just what we need... ![]() On our no.9 role.... yeah... for now, Iheanacho is the man to lead. The lad got the arrogance and Dare to lead. He may make mistakes a few times but he picks up fast and redeems the team eventually. But in the long run... I see The rise of Osimhen at Wolfsburg and a few others making Rohr have a re-think about his main formation because He will always wanna play Nacho who is Nigeria's most lethal offensive weapon. Meanwhile, Kayode didn't do badly.... I like the verve and ginger he brought to our attack when he came in. He is a good option but not a super solid one in the long run. Isaac Success can play no.9 but it seems he will cement his place from the flanks. His development and evolution into a wing forward makes him even more Dangerous and unpredictable... his power and pace and instincts plus Technical giftedness are assets he brings to the table. All he needs to do is try step up his fitness to be consistently firing on all cylinders and realising his fullest potentials. We have a BEAST in Success..... ![]() On the right back role.... well... Musa Mohammed won't have it easy nailing down that shirt as our rightback... a big battle looms in the long run among the likes of Him, Ebuehi, Aina (when he comes in), and Even Odubajo (when he is back and fit again)..... plus a few other options like Nura Abdullahi are also in the fray. And Russia 2018 may see 3-4 of the 2013 u-17 class but Post-2018.... I expect them to increase in the super Eagles.... ![]() From the 2015 class.... orji, K.Nwakali and Osimhen will likely be the early comers into the team before a few more walk in gradually couple of years later.... Lastly.... from the England-born or English-bred Of Nigerian blood players... I have my eyes on Tammy Abraham (Pinnick seems to have silently won him over so England should forget him), Ovie Ejaria has his mind focused on making an impact at the u-20 world cup with England but may end up with us... he also trained with Nacho and Success and other Many Garba boys in 2013 but schooling denied him the chance to be part of that glorious u-17 team), Josh Maja, Joel Asoro, Ademola Lookman, Fred Onyedimma, Dele Bashiru, Kigbu, Ike Ugbo, Solanke, Dominic Iorfa Jnr,.. etc.... There are many of these English Youngsters with Nigerian blood I can list here but For the team I believe these are some of the few we need from the many.... based on their availability, Talents and what they bring to the table.... But note...... several of these are for the future... the ones for now I wanna see are Aina, Odubajo, Tammy and Ejaria.... and maybe Josh Maja.... About the English borns... I have much to say but let's end it here... Not all are super Eagles materials.... we only need the best and most relevant of the available among them. Joebie: |

TheSuperNerd: A match doesn't make a player a season yes but not just one match. I still haven't seen the match, but the comments made so far particularly by the more objective participants on this forum didn't highlight him as exceptional. And not those who are a bit blinded by exuberant patriotic sentimentality for our boy's and have rose tinted glasses. But my opinion remains the same. £12.5 million price tag for striker that scored 7 goals in 49 starts for Granada a lowly La Liga side doesn't inspire confidence. I am sure you all know why that money was paid, Italian mafia. To date he hasn't done anything in the EPL injury or no injury he still a waste man. When he plays he doesn't impose himself on the game, for striker he has very limited presence. His own manager irrespective of the huge price tag does not rate him. Maybe I should be a bit more diplomatic and say he is a striker with considerable promise that we will be waiting to see him express himself fully this decade. 1 Like |

komekn: I think the problem is your auto-negative view of our players who are not English groomed. If Success was born in England, you would certainly feel differently about him. Success is one of the blessings to football. It is difficult to find a player with his kind of ability. It is crazy when you think Success came in about seven (7) minutes to go against Manchester United and completed the most dribbles of the game. Even frightening when he made most dribbles against one of the top defenders Bailly. Success played on the wings for Granada and not as a striker. Another clear misconception in your post. It was not Italian mafia deal that boosted Success to Watford. He was voted the best player in the Granada team and was wanted by Atletico Madrid. I am still disappointed that his agent and the Granada management did not sanction his move to Atletico Madrid because Diego Simeone is awesome with young talents and Simeone would have gotten more from Success. I also did not want him to leave the La Liga. You hide under injuries to tag a player poor, just as you did with Osimhen and you are repeating it with Success. From your ideology, Gabriel Jesus is poor because he is injured and Ilkay Gundogan is terrible because Injuries have kept him out of the game for several months. Come on man. 3 Likes |

Certitude: In football there is no time for sentimentality sometimes. Your only as good as your last game or your last season. If you get injured how you come back can determine your level present and continous. Once Michael Owen got injured he never got back and his carrier ended. He lost pace and the rest is history. The proposition you make, get as he be now bros see as u deh talk. I know see de guy before he was injured To be brutal it's irrelevant, it is how he is playing now that matters not before. It's the same reasoning that made them invite Osimhen who has not played a competitive game for ages and is injured. We do not rely on past glory. 1 Like |

komekn: You are neglecting the fact that Rohr is more than a manager to these young players. He is also their motivator, support and Adviser too. If Rohr sees a player that has the potential of being a top quality star for the Super Eagles, it is within his right to sort them out. Walter Mazzari is not giving Success the playing time he needs and from Success statement, he disagrees that he is not fit. Rohr met with Isaac Success and he discussed with him. Just like I Cried before and our indigenous coaches should learn from the Experienced (Icon4s the last time before the ban) ![]() Just like Rohr announced when Etebo was injured that he was interested in Etebo, Rohr sees brilliance in Osimhen and Success. Rohr has a mission to expose thier brilliance using the National team. With Success performance in this game and Etebo's frightening performance in the last, we can clearly see Rohr has his eyes for talents. It is time for us to watch the Master Tactician work and see what he wants to do with Osimhen and quit the whole injury/playing time critique. 1 Like 1 Share |
