TheSuperNerd: Iheanacho has gradually been converted to a striker. He is no longer an AM. I am not saying Osimhen and Tammy should not be included in the team. They have to first prove they are better than the striker we currently have. And as for that AM position dnt think it is so vacant that you can just throw Iheanacho from a striker's position and easily assign him the number 10 role. I am looking beyond Mikel now, Etebo and Iwobi would be capable replacement options in that position and so we can still maximise our strenght. IMHO Tammy and Osimhen would have Iheanacho to contend with for a place in that starting 11. |

goldfish80: The quality is not high yet... A few years ago, the top half of the league won all of their home games. It is difficult to take statistics seriously given that background. Thankfully, there has been some improvements but we have a long way to go In the whole league, you will struggle to pick 7 players that can make the super eagles squad. That is like picking needles in a hay stack. That is why competitions like CHAN are important because they help to sort out those that have real quality and pretenders. We might still get to see Odey invited to the team in the summer if he keeps up his scoring form. I hope he gets to prove himself. |

He is still an AMF.... he played that role against Tanzania and against Zambia. He played there against Mali and against Luxembourg... He still has it biko.... ![]() And ofcos who says Nacho is being given the no.10 role automatically....? Pages back I said he would have Iwobi, Etebo and more to battle it out with but again, You and I know Nacho edges even for now in that role (looking beyond Mikel) because of his lethal conversion rate from the AMF position in the Green and White... ![]() He has the vision and sleekness to execute the 10 role comfortably but more than that he got goals in him.... so that is why he is still a favorite kinda even in the face of competition. But for now... Iheanacho leads our attack as the no.9 and others must try show that they can match him or outmatch him in that role.... which may eventually happen and Make Nacho more of an advanced attacking hybrid in the 10 role.......

Joebie: Do you know what Nigeria stands to gain if a guy like Odeh is sold from Mfm to Monaco for €5M? Hypothetically speaking You may not realise this but I will break it down for you. Do you know that the Nff will get a percentage from that deal? Do you know Lagos state FA will equally get a cut from the deal because Mfm is domiciled in Lagos? Do you know the local club where Mfm got Odey from will equally get a cut from this deal? The ripple effect this revenue generated will go a long way in exciting the system and producing many more exciting prospects from the grassroots. Having established some of these facts, I would like to ask, do you think a European team will pay €5M for a player playing in Nigeria, who has no first team national team experience? When I talked about promoting local content, this is exactly what I mean. Maybe if you're watching football as a spectator what I said wouldn't mean much to you but if you're at the administrative level, you will understand very well what message am passing across. 4 Likes |

tbaba1234:Oh dear, all these because I asked how many times we have recorded a player get to the 20 goal mark in the NPFL? I will ask again, how many times have we seen a player get to the 20 goal mark in the Nigerian league over the last 40years? If you can't mention at least 10 names then you stand on no authority whatsoever to say scoring goals into the NPFL is easy. |

TheSuperNerd: Osimhen is a possible with a considerable way to go to prove he is worthy of all the potential accolades heaped on him. He hasn't even broken into the first team yet. Considering the season is fast drawing to a close. As it stands Odey from the reports on this forum is on fire. I guess when a top European side signs him we will then consider him worthy. |

Then we should flood SE with home based players because we stand more to gain. The point has been on repeat but many of u can't swallow it. Odey will even be more valuable after proving himself in CHAN and maybe later in SE. There is no point for the noise when nobody has ruled him out. Rohr is watching these local games. If he didn't have these boys on his plans he won't bother watching. His time mustn't be now. We need to chill. goldfish80: 2 Likes |

tbaba1234:You could only come up with 2 names? And you're trying to prove to me that scoring goals in the Nigerian league is easy? I don't know about Jude Aneke but Mfon Udoh is very fine. He is the captain of Enyimba. Last season, he was one of he top scorers in the Caf champions league up to the group stages. Your mentality that anyone who is not playing outside Nigeria is not made need to be changed. And he is well paid too in Enyimba. Thanks for asking |

Humility017: Talking about corruption will lead to so many things. Truth is that some of these so called academies aren't properly registered. If we are to take stuck, I don't think we can point more than 2 academies in Nigeria who are professionally run. We can't stand still because of corruption. That's the truth. |

tbaba1234: Don't bring us backwards. I already thought about that before i made my comment. Paul has scored 8 league goals and Henry has 12. Henry and Stephen might be tied if we add playoffs but Stephen has the tie breaker for playing half the amount of games Henry has. |

goldfish80: I am trying to prove to you that the quality is low, not the ease of scoring or not scoring. I can not take the league statistics as a measure of how good a player is because as history has shown, several times they do not perform so well in better leagues Chisom Egbuchulam so far has not played a second in Sweden since his loan deal, even when the team is chasing the game. This is a player that shone so brightly last year. This is the Swedish League, not one of the best league in the world. Ezekiel is not faring any better in Barca B. There are several historical examples that go way back. Mfom Udoh at this point should be playing at a higher level. I rated him very highly a few years ago but it looks like he has overstayed in the league. 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: It is not about going to perform in Europe or signing a big deal, it is about performing at a higher level. How many big clubs sign Nigerian players? If not MRI tests, Big clubs had stopped signing Nigerians. Many of Enyimba's star players left Nigeria to bigger clubs within Africa and in Europe. Enyeama Aiyenuba Nwaneri Ogunbiyi Okonkwo All had decent careers outside Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Icon4s: That would not be shocking to me considering the nature of our football politics at National team level. And i am unable to dispute or contend I am not familiar enough with football in Nigeria. I know some coaches and players but have no real depth to make informed suggestions. I can assure that after the exploits at AFCON particularly with Sunday Mba I knew one premiership club that was seriously interested in him at the time. But the confusion and unprofessionalism that surrounded him was bewildering and very confusing that no progress could be made. My view is that Sunday Mba cannot be an isolated case. There must still be other stars in the making yet to be discovered or given an opportunity. 1 Like |

tbaba1234:The league in Sweden just started. Chisom scored a brace in one of the friendlies they played during the international break. Sweden is not Chisom's father's house. He will need a few months to bed in properly. Mfon is still a good player,he is not slacking at all this season. He cannot buy himself. Its not his fault he keeps scoring in the champions league and the local league , yet he doesn't get the attention of good European clubs. I researched a bit in the case of Jude Aneke and I discovered he signed a bad contract with an Egyptian team, Al masry. The team couldn't pay his wages for 5months($300,000). They couldn't offset his clearance from Warri wolves. This bad move affected his career so bad that he didn't play for 5 months. Sometimes it's easy to sit and be all critical about people, asking where is this one and that one. But if you dig deep and understand the predicament of these players, you will realise some unforseen forces stopped them from progressing. It could be a rogue agent or a bad club president that held up their careers. 1 Like |
