Nice read. However, I think Rohr is missing the point.
First of, I don't think anyone is asking for Odeh to displace a man city striker. What we are asking for is for Odeh to get a call up to train with the team, that camp experience will rub off on him and the Nigerian league. The experience will also prepare him for CHAN.

We all know how Brazil and Argentina set up their players for big European transfers. Using the media and ex players to make lots of noise. What is wrong in using the national team to boost the profile of Odeh in other to set him up for a transfer?
Who knows, this same Odeh could be a very important player for us in the future. His records so far is un paralleled.

The NFF will pay Visa fee and buy flight tickets both at this current exchange rate plus camp and other allowances just for him to train with the team in London.

E be like say you forget say recession reach every where.

Even if i had an opportunity to pick a young player to train with the Eagles it won't Odey.

BascoVanVeli:
MFM can pay for all that just like Ifeanyi Ubah did for his keeper.

So na make clubs dey sponsor their players to the national team abi?

The door is always open for the best players. #NPFL players must prove themselves with the CHAN team first. I hope that Stephen Odey can get better because I have a @ManCity striker in my team. At the moment we're a winning team, so the #NPFL players must prove they deserve a place in the team. The problem before the Algerian game was becasue the #NPFL players were on break, so we couldn't tell about their form. There is an existing problem with Nigerian based players. We cannot tell their real age. We've not been lucky enough to play many games, so we have to talk with the players and keep in touch. We've committed time in finding full backs. We have an option in Ola Aina of @ChelseaFC , who has committed to Nigeria. We have Tyrone, Madu who may have game time issues, but we're working to get more options. I am confident we can get players. We've made contact with Top executives in the German FA about a friendly, so we could play them. Not everything is about money. I have a good working relationship with @thenff , I have good players too. My assistants are scouting the #NPFL, Imama may have enough time now, we are following the league. I work more for my assistants than I do for myself. They have families and of course they'll be worried if they don't get paid. We have a technical committee that is doing everything to make sure we do well. Nigeria needs more academies, less synthetic pitches. Nigeria is the biggest football nation in Africa, given the passion.

Gernot Rohr

Several points by Rohr.

@bolded It looks as if Rohr has been listening to me.

And as Arsenal fans mumu reach next game dem go still full stadium dey support the team.

My take has been "Boycott as Arsenal games until Wenger leave". When the board starts counting losses tell me how they wont sack Wenger.

BascoVanVeli:


Honestly i was being sarcastic but he was talking about inviting him to be with the team when they are in Nigeria.

Icon4s:


CHAN is there my brother.

Lets see him with the CHAN team.

BascoVanVeli:


This CHAN talk is weird. Odey has already refused a transfer to Russia, it would be naive to expect him at CHAN.

Icon4s:


CHAN is there my brother.

Lets see him with the CHAN team.

Based on Logistics u cannot not just send Odey to London just to train with the Eagles.

Based also on Logistics we can assess him better here in the CHAN team.

Icon4s:


CHAN qualifiers and not the CHAN proper is what we are talking about. And that is a few weeks time.

TheSuperNerd:
A while back I mentioned this particular goal among the best Nigerian players have scored in Recent times when Sir Joebie said it has been a while Nigerian players scored Delph's kinda goals or rather spectacular goals.... well, few days from that, Man City agrees with me.... Take that Fraser! Take that Pep! Mane who scored a hattrick on the day couldn't help but stare in admiration and Wanyama also was like, "Wow... nice"
And the referee's thought....? But I remember vividly the matchday commentator's words..... "Ohhhhh...... **silence follows**..... This Boy is something Special!!!!"



My verdict: Pep.... u need a lobotomy!!!!

Iheanacho’s Goal Against Southampton Selected As Goal Of The Day By Man City





Manchester City have reminded followers of the club about the goal scoring abilities of out of favour striker Kelechi Iheanacho following the selection of his goal as goal of the day.


Iheanacho’s goal against Southampton in 2016 when he broke into the first team of the Etihad outfit was picked as goal of the day in the game which Man City lost 2-4.


The goal was a magnificent curler into the top corner of Fraser Forster goal, leaving the shot stopper with no chance 12 minutes to the end of the game.

City posted the video of the goal on their official website after a comment which reads ” It was a wonderful goal that offered further evidence of Iheanacho’s goalscoring ability”.

I find this interesting.

I have two views of football the pragmatic results orientated hard work and endeavour approach. Which is essentially the English approach.

And my preferred technical biased and flare approach. Which is the more Continental and indeed African approach. The marriage of athleticism and techniquefor me is the way modern football is progressing.

I have said this before my preference becomes irrelevant in matching players to clubs in England.

Quite some time ago we had a discussion on the player with the higher rating in England. I explained that it was Ox and that Iwobi was some places behind him. And of course that word was brought in to qualify my assertions and dismiss them. That word was BIASED it was stated in the context that I support all things English and dislike all things Nigerian.

That action of demotion is limited vindication, however, the issue may be about attitude. Iwobi has not achieved anything yet and I hear rumours of lack of focus and indiscipline which are not corroborated they are just rumours. However, it may explain the current situation, Iwobi is a definite first team player. Maybe it is designed to get him back on track.

Considering the Ox I personally think his delivery outcome particularly where are goals are concerned is very poor. However, that's not the complete story he drives Arsenal forward and bring real quality and competitive edge to the team. Statiscallly poor but as a team player he injects much energy into the side. If only he could remain injury free.

Nonetheless, Iwobi can still move forward if he can learn his lessons and not believe his own hype. Get focused, be more disciplined and push his career forward.

BascoVanVeli:


Oga no be so, CHAN qualifiers are in August. There will even be friendlies before then so why the excuses? The point Sir Goldfish made was a great one, why can't we hype our own? What is wrong with building his profile? This is a chance for Rohr to raise the profile of our leagues. I feel like that should be part of his job, not just to go watch and tell us they are not better than Man city players or they are old men. We didn't need him to come from Germany to tell us that, we already know that and we are looking for a way forward.

tbaba1234:


Rohr's job is to develop the best super eagles team that he can and qualify for major tournaments. The profile of the league should be raised by the organizers

BascoVanVeli:


Organizers can't rate their own players or give them chances in the Super eagles. This is what i mean by raising profile. What is wrong with Rohr just giving the best a chance. We are not asking for the whole league but when a player has more goals than any Nigerian in the world at the least more good words should be said. It sounded like he was brushing Odey off and I don't like that one bit, he might be a coach but me i'm also not blind i can see the quality the boy has.

You know know say him na oga experience?

There are so many hidden talents in our land that need just small chance to be better than Kelechi Iheanacho and co.

Verdict: There is no crime in calling Odeh to the Super Eagles.
