One of the best in the league. He was a midfielder before he became a striker so the hype was not from goals scored. He later became top scorer for Sharks when he became a striker. To say, he was not considered one of the best players in the league is not true. The article below lists him as one of the best players in the 2013-2014 season.

Yes. And let Thiago Ilori play CB, let Ajagun play AM, Sheyi Ojo and Ademola Lookman will play from the wings while Solanke spare-head the attack.

And forgiveness will be the coach.

Do you have any problem with these players?

Don't worry in ya very eyes these players will wear the green and white Jersey as you have some did lately.

I hope you no go.......

I met a foreigner early last year, we discussed on so many issues. He told me that he has worked with some people from a particular state who where very honest. "He now believes that anyone from that State is honest."

These generalisations do not always prove to true.

Lol!

No but wait. Is it not funny?

You have become so predictable bc u keep saying the same thing all over and over again.

I have just listed for u ur fantasy team. Lol!

Icon4s:


Yes wear the green and white jersey but dem don play? Lol!

The two new debutant in that Senegal friendly were two illustrious sons of our rich youth system. Kayode and Success-two hot strikers in their U17 and U20 days.

Why Rohr dey fear to put Ebuehi for that Senegal game na? Lol!

forgiveness:



That is what I call FAITH.

Predicting things and seeing things happening.

Almost all the players I have faith in so far are making the team but na you be d antagonist.

The reason you can't celebrate the recent happenings.

Soon those players you listed will be given the chance to prove themselves.

Just clear your mind and free ya soul.

forgiveness:


What? seriously!

So, such things are happening behind the scenes. Na wa ooooooo.

Like you rightly said, Iorfa to me is a better center half.

When he played there last season he did very well.

Your last paragraph is a very good idea but will one or two players be given the chance to slug it out with the U17 and U20 players in the camp here in Nigeria?

Because those coaches like.....

Icon4s:


In fact I am really happy that some of them joined in training of recent. At least Rohr would assess them first hand and sieve out only the ones that will be ale to COMPETE for space in the team.

I am am open minded person but not the type that would want to pull down what I already have on ground in a bid to get what I am not sure of.

Wait and see!

Besides, na friendly, Rohr needed not to fear.

If not for the cancelled friendly match against Burkina Faso, dem for play wella.

komekn:


To avoid that situation it's more practical to run a camp here get your best 18 and then let them play the home based team in Nigeria. That would enable them to become more orientated with Nigerian norms and values and create a reconnect for those disconnected from thier Fatherland.

That would be interesting also no need for MRI for those coming from countries with automatic birth date data capture.

From both teams select the best, playing against them against each other creates healthy competitive rivalry.
Although to some it may seem controversial.

Lol!

Even the Alex Iwobi that has been proven and tested we dey fear about his ability to cope with the physicality against Cameroun.

Are u telling me u dnt know abt the physical demands associated with playing typical African oppositions?

Lol. Rohr knows what he is doing. He has worked in Africa long enough.

You dnt know the implication of maintaining the same back line we used against Algeria?

He is beginning to have faith in that back line and building consistency and may just b looking for back ups. Omeruo is Nigeria's new RB.
Troost and Balogun are our confirmed CB duo while Echiejile has snatched back that LB position.

Allowing those English born players train with the team is good. Firstly for sense of belonging and also a couple of them may turn out to be great additions to the squad.

tbaba1234:


I think, home based should be given a priority for under 17 because it is a good chance for exposure. That is the best chance for exposure for many talents. Exceptional foreign stars can join so as to keep them committed to Nigeria in the future.

For under 20, we should just look for the best.

How can you pull down what is not on ground?

We don't have a team on ground yet because most these players don't have up to 10 caps.

We are still building hence the need to bring in players to slug it out with the ones in the team.

It is a team in progress.

komekn:


I did say previously that I had some questions about Iwobi. He has played pretty football at Arsenal with great technical players around him. I wasn't sure how he would cope in a blood, guts and physical warfare type game. That question was answered when we played Senegal. He simply didn't, will he improve its open to debate, will Rohr take a chance on him again in an even more physically contentious blood and guts I'll tempered football game hmmm. With a whole lot more at stake, not my decision but Rohr.

Omeruah is defender and nothing else he is not a RWB however Aina is.

Some of the RWB from Germany and Holland to my superficial eye seem a bit lightweight for a battle against Cameroon.Aino is not a lightweight.

Onyedinma is not a lightweight Aluko is not a lightweight i would play both of them against Cameroon. Iorfa needs to be seen in a competitive friendly he also is not a lightweight.

The match with Cameroon is going to be a battle Ndidi is essential in this regard, so is Mikel, I'm not a big fan of Ogu a bit slow and laboured and not offensively inventive enough. We need other options I also like Shehu he should not be playing in Cyprus.

Icon4s:


U see?

That is where the problem is. And that where the problem has been in the last ten years. Lack of consistency and pulling down the team at random?

Now u say we dnt have a team and most players dnt have up to 10 caps. Do u know how long it takes for players to get 10caps for the national team. How many games does a national team play in a year adding to the fact that we have missed out in last two AFCONS.

Now back to ur 10caps indices. It will interest u to know that from the crop of players who play regularly or come in as subs only Iwobi, Iheanacho and Ndidi have less than 10caps with 9, 8 and 7 respectively. Look at our defense and midfield and tell me which other player has not had up to 10 caps. What of Musa, Victor Moses, Ighalo and Ideye? Even young chaps like Shehu, Simon and Etebo have had had more than 10 caps.

My good Friends WE HAVE A TEAM AND A GOOD STRUCTURE ON GROUND ABEG.

forgiveness:



This is not pulling down, this is building.

You remove the ones not fitted for the best.

Only Musa, Ighalo(e still dey team?) , Onazi, Mikel, Victor, Echiejile, Simon, Omeruo and Shehu Abdullahi (I am not convinced he is Super Eagles material) has up to 10 caps.

The rest na below,na.

We need to bring in more players to fight for the shirt.

Mikel Agu, Sanisi and Esiti contending with Wilfred

Noah, Aluko and Ehizibue contending with Ahmed

Odubajo, Ebuehi and Nura contending with Musa and Omeruo

Aina and Torunarigha contesting with Echiejile

Noah, Sone sluggish it out with Iheanacho

etcetera etcetera...

Icon4s:


U did not even mention Brown Ideye and Troost-Ekong. They have more than 10 caps. Leon Balogun should also be nearing no caps now.
Now does ur argument of MOST players not having up to 10 caps still valid?

Going by all these names you are mentioning u'll continue to have headaches over Rohr's team selection. Bc u will still be disappointed again when you see his next squad for the SA game and MOST of those names u have been singing will be omitted.

Rohr knows his TEAM already but will continue to try out a couple of other players to see those that will add value to the team. Not to just flood the camp with so many untested players.

I can tell you that Rohr already knows atleast 9 of the 11 players he would want to start the game against SA in june.

tbaba1234:


I am not Rohr but i probably know 9 out of the 11.. Changes will happen gradually not suddenly..

What does this have to do with the age of Pogba?

You are being ridiculous. If Nigeria has the same comprehensive record system as France, no one will question the ages of our boys.

Icon4s:


I like the objectiveness and the specific ways with which u jst tabled ur points. But meanwhile forgiveness claimed the senegal game was not physical at all. A game that had rugged Onazi stretchered out with Musa limping out and had up to abt 7 yellow cards.

I also have issues with the way Omeruo plays the RB. He plays it as a Right Full back where as modern football encourages more of Right Wing Back plays.

Now, it depends on the teams set up, A RFB may be more valuable in particular games or situations than a RWB and vice versa.

Now also u need to understand that the pry duties of a defender is to defend. Ability to join in the attack is an additional quality. A coach assesses his options and prioritises.

I personally dnt see Ebuehi as physical enough to cope with the demands of that position. He IMO is pretty young and needs time to develop.

Ola Aina and Moses Odubanjo are other RB options but are they better than Shehu Abdullahi and Musa Mohammed who we have seen marshalled that position without issues.

Can they provide more cover at the back than Omeruo?

Now I can deduce from your previous posts that as far as we do not have a comprehensive system of records, our age declaration will not be accepted, even when the persons concerned are telling the truth.

Therefore, even when someone from the advanced Countries presents his age we should not doubt because such persons are from climes where standard and comprehensive data is kept.
Paul Pogba looks older than a 24yr old person, but I should be forced to admit his age is real.

On the other hand, I should always doubt the ages of Nigerian youngsters such as Iheanacho, Simon, Musa Yahaya and co even though appear to be young and as well a true reflection of their declared age, just because they are from the part of the World where comprehensive records are not fully adopted.

Can you see the useless doctrine the whites want to force on us
