Yea i read a comment on Onigbinde sometimes ago on this thread and i was wondering coz he was tagged a tribalism man for taken Opadiran to world cup

A lot forget that d same Onigbinde made young Stephen Keshi his captain in Afcon 84 over Muda Lawal a yoruba man who was making 5th Afcon appearance at Afcon 84.

Good Rohr is not a Ibo man,he could have been tagged a tribalism for inviting Osimieh to camp.

Kog45:
Thank God Rohr is not from Niger deltan

forgiveness:


@bolded you dey mind those ones. When I went through Onigbinde lists during his times with the national team, I couldn't find more than 5 players of his kind on his list yet you will find 7- 10 of..... pointing accusing fingers. yeye dey smell.

Last @bolded has something to do with connection who know man.

I am beginning to think those who employed Rohr could also influence him.

There is no person that can't be influence so far you are human being.. Rohr is not an exception!

AIG07:
@Joebie. Sir, you're not kind o... You must have been a clinical finisher as a young boy. THIS IS BRUTAL.

*winks*

OMANBALA1:


Sometimes there are circumstances that influence coaches choices and players invitation and these things can be a little confusing. For instance,Kayode was already an established striker in Austria when Osimhen was still at the U17 ,yet Osimhen was invited ahead of Kayode due to the fact that Austrian league was lowly ranked while in Osimhen we discovered a super duper talent that needs to be nurtured on time.

And lets be honest,Kayode is not a rare super talent like Osimhen and Iheanacho.

Kog45:
ok boss.Pls d guy is from which part of naija

komekn:


So what about those who stand out in thier teams proven, tested and established top consistent performers in top level teams and league.

They should be left aside denied opportunity, excluded until Rohr decides according to his own self based and self justified unit of measurement that they are worthy.

That's defies reasoning.

goldfish80:

Kayode have been the highest scoring Nigerian player in Europe for 2 seasons in a row. He's a super talent who haven't been given an opportunity at the top level.
He's a lot like Mane. Any good talent spotter will see that.

TheGoodJoe:


In Austria.

goldfish80:

Yes. Same Austria Mane was poached from. Kayode hae scored more goals than Mane did at Austria, you can do that maths.

TheGoodJoe:


Keep in mind that Ighalo was also hot property and we had the likes of Ideye and Emenike.

goldfish80:

Ighalo only had one good season,same as Emenike. Kayode have been prolific for 2 seasons in a row and he's younger, hence my submission that his celine is quite high.

ChrisKels:
Sir forgiveness, how come u couldn't broker a better deal for Abdul Ajagun? While others are stepping up, he is headed for a small team in Lokeren.

If Azubike's move to either Monaco or Besiktas comes to fruition, with Mathews imminent move to Anderletch (Belgium's biggest club) this transfer window, then ur boy would be on a long thing.


Modified ; I think Onazi should find a way outta Turkey or better yet, make a move to a bigger club(in the mould of Besiktas, Galatasaray, Fener) because the competition might make him a victim of this looming stampede. I said this because in Nigeria, we respect clubs more than the talent in clubs. If Esiti (poor man's wanyama), moves to PSG hmm...I doubt Onazi would still be getting invites playing for Trabzonspor

TheGoodJoe:


Mane poached from, not called up to the Super Eagles. Even Alaba got poached from Austria. The point is that you should not make it look as if topping the league in Austria is similar to the EPL and La Liga. The competition is less.

TheGoodJoe:


I do not develop ideologies. I study and you can find out that they make big sense. A good example is Osimhen's case. When I was hammering about training above game time, people argued. Today, Rohr is doing precisely that.

Someone like you should see that I was right but you decide to bury your head from the fact right in front of your eyes.

Another example is how you argued against Rohr checking on Oshaniwa. At the end, Rohr did precisely what I said. Invited him to camp, neglecting the lack of game time and seeing for himself if Oshaniwa was still good enough.

If Rohr is impressed with Osimhen's form in training, all those game time talk is nothing but Super Story. What matters is those who stand out in camp. Not historical data.

goldfish80:

Being top scorer in Austria and most scoring Nigerian player in Europe for 2 seasons in a row, all achieved while still under 25yrs, seriously indicate he's a talent who deserves a look in.

TheGoodJoe:


Prolific for two seasons in Austria. Not the same as what Ighalo did.

goldfish80:

Add his exploit in the Europa league to that and you're looking at a real talent.

While others were fighting their ways into reckoning, igiebor and his likes were busy blabbing


Exclusive – PSG Open Transfer
Talks With Gent Over Out Of
Favour Eagles Ace Anderson
Esiti
Anderson Esiti is in line for a big move away
from Belgium side Gent with French giants PSG
currently holding talks over his transfer.
Owngoalnigeria.com exclusively gathered that
talks are already on regarding his possible
transfer with Gent willing to let the midfielder
nicknamed the beast leave this summer.
Esiti joined Gent last summer for €1.5m from
Portuguese side Estoril, but the club have a
15% sell on clause in the deal that took him to
the Belgium side, which means they are also
entitled to a chunk of his transfer fee if he
moves to PSG.
Already Gent has quoted €20m as his price tag
to PSG, who are now looking for ways to beat
the price down a bit, as the player is high on
the summer transfer wishlist of coach Unai
Emery.
The 23 year old has fallen out of favour with
the national team selectors of Nigeria, and
despite his fine form for Gent in the recently
concluded season, he still wasn’t considered for
the training camp in France, and the game
against South Africa this weekend.

goldfish80:

Add his exploit in the Europa league to that and you're looking at a real talent.

goldfish80:
He's from Benin sire.

well only time can tell if he will become just as good as them. yekini was not an instant hit with the national team but the coaches kept calling him up. kanu fresh off his u17 exploits was invited by westerhof to camp before usa 94. he had barely played professional senior football but clemens saw his potential and wanted to see him up close so brother beg for forgiveness and stop crying wolf where there is none

TheGoodJoe:


Talent but not strong enough to displace the likes of Ighalo and Emenike at that time. By the way, the second season just happened. So it shows why it took long for him to get a call-up. The competition is stiff. Austrian goals is not strong enough. The young man needs to keep working hard.

forgiveness:


Yes! Yekini wasn't an instant hit with the national team (na who tell you that one) yet was an instant hit with his clubs. Na still d same thing I dey talk.

Chinekemeee! You mean Kanu Nwankwo was chopping bench in Iwanyanwu in 1993 and Ajax 1994 before Clement called him?

Abeg! Like your mouth, na lie full am.

TheGoodJoe:


If Kayode was not a talent, he would not be in camp. He was always promising from his U17 days. I doubt anyone is saying Kayode is not a talent. I am just saying you should not overhype his Austrian exploits.

Icon4s:


Esan not Benin.

chrisooblog:
ighalo was also prolific for two seasons in championship and EPL. In all this osimhen debate no one has mentioned the player whose destiny he is blocking
