Osimhen is untested, unproven and rated by who? If he was exceptional he should be playing first team at Wolfsburg.

All he has done is played youth football and beyond that nothing. You cannot use past glories particularly at youth level to rate a player.

Furthermore, Osimhen is recovering from Injury and has not done anything all season. That is totally unfair to players who are cutting it and have become proven and tested like Onyekuru.

It is the Rohr that is so expansive, substantive, methodical and objective. That invited a boy Josh Maja to the Eagles camp from lowly Sunderland who has not played any first team football. In the general scheme of things he would struggle to be in the top 50 Nigerian origin U21 players.

Meanwhile Aluko who is playing fantastic football at the best footballing side in the championship has not been called up.

In this regard I believe the Nigerian factor is still alive and kicking unfortunately.

TheSuperNerd:
There is another game this weekend I believe... against Hamburg. Bet on Osimhen playing a good part in that game.

Osimhen returned to a fitness level good enough to make the coach risk him in a game Wolfsburg needed to win or draw to keep their bundesliga status hopes alive and you are here still yarning terminologies.

Osimhen has been struggling for fitness since January.... is that so hard to understand?? He just made his full recovery and was thrown into the deep end almost immediately....

What are you on about with the bolded... because that is me asking you a question as to why a player who is injured and recuperating will play week in, week out??

You always use the funny line... "If he is that good, he should walk into Wolfsburg first team" and totally ignore the fact that the lad has been trying to bounce back from injury woes....

The guys were not major parts of the team. This is a non issue.

Having rediscovered his scoring form, the Anambra Warriors hitman is still habouring dreams for a return to the senior national team

The striker got his first league goal of the season as they sealed a home victory against Ivan Vukomanovic’ men in a Slovakian topflight encounter

Humility017:


I know bro...you will rise to the defense of this players...
now let me ask this...

where those guys registered by enyimba prior the beginning of the new season?
will enyimba get some cash should their trials yield result? If yes to these questions it means they're enyimba players and NPFL registered players for the season

just that the way the players treat themselves and carry themselves will go a large extent to tell their value and worth.
they believe they're only good for Asia low class leagues and perhaps north affrica and nothing else.

” Liverpool won’t sign Awoniyi if he isn’t one for the future. It has always been in him to score goals, so what we are seeing now, it’s just the manifestation of his true quality “.

I agree with you.

Maybe it's time to rate the leagues in Europe.

The premiership may not be as technical (debatable) as the Spanish league.

But is without doubt the fastest and most physically demanding in Europe, many a star have come from Spain and Portugal and flopped.

Where would I place the Belgium league definitely not one of the best, there are 50 or more leagues in Europe and Belgium would be around 10/11 to me.

However, you can still be fantastic player in a low league. You just need a chance to prove your quality.

Looking at Onyekuru he seems a bit lightweight for the premiership if I am to be honest. I still believe he is better and more justified to be included in the SE than Osimhen.

Saying that I do not rate any of them above Aluko who the powers that be in the NFF it seems are it blocking him from the SE.

Playing the your first and last game of the season is not a testament to fitness and ability. It will take months to get to full fitness after a whole season out of football.

It is not rational you create a double standard justification, with your comments see bold.

Bro...I tell you...had it been oshimen was a half German and half Nigerian....considering His rise so far...many Nigerians here currently kicking against his invitation would have been chanting for him to be approached to come play for Nigeria and call into the super eagles just to steal him from Germany....

that lad...is a bunch of talent. perfect example of a real striker....
rohr did well to invite him
keshi made this mistake....after the 2013 under 17 world cup...when he keep saying kelechi was too small to be integrated into the SE set up.
I tell you nacho could have been our joker in that Brazil hosted world cup tourney

ProfOrlando:


nice line up bro , i only have problem with etebo on the wing and alampasu as the first choice

Humility017:
.

josh maja...was only smart enough to go look for rohr and SE players in London...he left his comfort zone...if other players of Nigeria origin had done same...they won't have been refused by rohr.
and for that oshimen calm down sir
i don't think rohr would've keep inviting him if he was not good ......

TheGoodJoe:


I hope Onyekuru maintains his lightweight and keeps working on his speed. If he gains weight in the name of fitting with the EPL it will affect his speed. Messi was lightweight when he ghost passed Manchester United players who were EPL Champions and on top the EPL table.

Onyekuru's speed is one of his key attributes and he should not tamper with it. Also, weight might result in him becoming prone to injuries.

Keshi called Iheanacho to CHAN camp and reports stated Nacho was to wear the ten shirt. Reports also stated Keshi built the CHAN team around Nacho. Nacho left camp to sign for City and that was what caused the fall-out. Keshi knew Nacho was good and was ready to bring him into the team. Nacho had a chance to break into the Super Eagles World Cup team but Manchester City could not wait to get their hands on one of their prime targets.

tbaba1234:


Hyping a player who continues to put the ball in the back of the net is normal. He is currently the highest goal scorer in Belgium. He keeps delivering. What is there not to hype? No one is calling him a Lionel Messi but he deserves the attention, he is getting.

There are two extremes, over hyping and Dismissing..

You are on the other extreme. Football is about results and so far this season, Onyekuru has produced results. Dismissing that will fall flat every time.

I have watched Onyekuru, several times. I am not basing my opinions on a highlight reel. He certainly has enormous potential.

I do not understand why you are showing clips of Simon Moses to prove a point about Onyekuru. Has Simon Moses scored 23 goals this season? Does that not already show you a difference in their play.

Ronaldo is Selfish, Thierry Henry was selfish, Lionel Messi also goes on selfish runs.. No one complains when they are producing results. Onyekuru is producing results. Bottom line.

That your first paragraph in particular is worthy of being considered as the post of the week!

Iheanacho had a chance to break into the Super Eagles 2014 WC team?

Chai... TheGoodJoe mbok naaa...

Icon4s:


Just like Ola Aina and Chuba Akpom also made themselves available for training with little or no efforts in getting them.

We should chase our foreign born players but any that is not interested we let him be. We are not lacking in talents at any level of the game. We have several others that are WILLING to play for us. Let's go for those . We cannot be forcing or begging people to play for Nigeria.

We are NIGERIA.

I agree 100% with tbaba1234. We can not know the amount of hours Awo's coach put in to get Awoniyi manifesting his true quality. A big props to the coach. Impressed with him.
