fantastic news....
this is what i wanna see

Joebie:
He can rub shoulders. Fine, so call for his invitation. Don't say he is better than our available options. Besides, Rohr watches some of our NPFL games live. Do you think he is not experienced enough to know a good player when he sees one?

Lol.. You just spoke like a foreigner observing Nigerian football from his country.
Like you don't know being homebased prejudices one from playing for the Super Eagles, no matter how good they are.

Take it from someone who have watched the said player for a while. No player invited by Rohr in view of playing the RB position can match Okoro's skills, power and work ethic down that right flank.

tbaba1234:


They already knew about him and could easily track his development based on what they had seen. Adegbenro on the other hand does not have that background.

If they were tracking him while at Lynn Oslo it means they were watching the Norwegian league. Same could be said about Samuel Adegbenro, someone somewhere is watching him. His data is on the spreadsheet.

goldfish80:


It's not about just the Benin game. I mean, Some of us actually watch these NPFL game game, you know. The form he has shown during the season have been breathtaking.
Why do I think he's better than Rb we have? Well, Osas have been a winger throughout his career, a very explosive winger for that matter. Spare a thought and imagine such an explosive player converted as a RWB, you have for yourself something mimicking a Victor Moses.

Eduwo as a striker is playing in a competitive position against player from big clubs and reputation. Tyronne and Shehu are basically our RBs. A guy playing in Cyprus and Ado Den Hag. Osas can actually rob shoulders with these guys and own that spot. That's what we are talking about.

We have seen players who were explosive in Nigeria become average when they move abroad. You are as good as the standard where you play

So talent doesn't matter but where you ply your trade that's all that matters. Just a few months ago, you watched Cameroun with players from Czech Republic and Bulgaria grab the AFCON.
If we go by your analysis, it means Zambia with players culled from Congo Kinshasa should be stripped off the AFCON they won back in 2012. How dare Zambian players from Zesco beat Ivorian players from Chelsea, Man city and Liverpool.

I am an advocate of talent no matter where they play. Hulk used to play in Japan before he was bought by Porto where he dominated Europe. Kante was playing for a 3rd division French club just 4 years ago.
Look at Dembele, who was bought from Nice just last season for €18M, is being transferred to Barcelona for €120M. Barcelona would have saved a whopping €100M if they spotted him earlier. That's the thing with talents, things can happen very quickly at the drop of the hat.
Talent is not directly proposional to country of residence.

You can't make such a blanket statement that all the players who left NPFL have struggled in Europe therefore,every player in the NPFL will flop. That's too simplistic. Learn to give people a chance.

That's the thing. You do not know how good a player is until he is tested at a higher level. How would Osas perfom in better leagues? That is the true test.

Omeruo extends Chelsea contract

Nigeria Defender Pens One-Year Contract Extension With Chelsea Ahead Of Loan Move
Published: August 25, 2017
Nigeria Defender Pens One-Year Contract Extension With Chelsea Ahead Of Loan MoveAllnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that Nigeria international Kenneth Omeruo has penned a one-year contract extension with Chelsea ahead of an imminent loan move to the Turkish Super Lig.

Kasımpaşa S.K. are wrapping up the final details of the season-long loan signing of the Chelsea central defender.

Omeruo is now contractually bound to the Premier League champions until June 30, 2020, as his earlier deal was due to run out at the end of the 2018-2019 season.

The 23-year-old previously enjoyed loan spells at ADO Den Haag, Middlesbrough, Kasımpaşa and Alanyaspor.

He penned a contract extension with Chelsea before he was farmed out on loan in 2016.

you see how foolish he is....
even a baby born today...knows that he will never get to play for Chelsea...not even for half a season

Like I said, call for his invitation. Then he can prove it. I believe you have a point, I no longer think Ebuehi is a SE material right now. He can grow into that in future.. But some of these players will be given a couple chances and then dropped. Osas will get his chance.

I think it is high time....
rohr start taking some undue risk...start

field in some good players and forget about if is they're inexperienced or not...
we will.never know those who can play good football until we give them a chance to prove themselves

Okoro I believe can give rohr...some things to think about should he show his prowess in the upcoming chan....

100% agreed however having a certain standard technically speaking enables that transition to be much easier.

At the end of the day exceptional talent is exceptional talent irrespective of location.

tbaba1234:


If i was the coach, S. Moses and Musa would probably no longer be in my team. I have seen him play and i know he is a good player.

We need both.

Simon Moses is terrible.

Simon Moses has no business being in the squad at the moment. Same goes for Musa. I know it's early days, but Onyekuru can offer us what Musa does and more as a wide forward

Do. You know he was one of our best performers at the last CHAN? Check through your archives, you will see I'm not lying.

I belive this thread is about the Super Eagles not about players who perform in better leagues. If he can do the buisness for us in a position we are handicapped who gives a hoot if he can perform in Portugal or Belgium.

then bro...no need talk too much...
hopefully chan will give him an avenue to prove himself...moreover even I feel he is a very conservative coach...
albeit he would have given the likes of Dressiers,Bonaventure and yinka a chance to prove tnemselves even if they were to make the standby list

Do you honestly belive all the players in Europe or so called better leagues are better than this guy? That's the thing about makimg blanket statements.. I recall a player named Tony Hiberts, who played RB for Everton for many years. That individual, was one of the poorest technical players I've ever seen but Hey! He played for Everton, he's definitely better than everyone who never played in the Premiership.

so many players in super eagles...living on past glory....

so many ought not to be called...folks like onazi need not to be starting SE matches...but unfortunately his last exploits keep giving him an edge over other fast rising players...

D’Tigress beat CIV 98-43 to qualify for the semi finals at the ongoing FIBA Women’s AfroBasket

They will be phased out surely, should they not step up.. You don't wan't to change all your regulars just like that. I think regular starters will be demoted to the bench and after subsequent matches with no improvement, would be replaced. e.g omeruo now a standby player

You said so many.. Please name the "so many".

Pls tell us players in eagles living on past glory,tell us why Onazi should be dropped and who are d fast rising players?then we can discuss.

Omeruo is not yet a stand by player, he was only left out because of his loan move, just like Al Hassan was too, players like that are usually given time to settle their business

Granted, but he doesn't start for SE anymore. He has clearly fallen down the pecking order. Let's get specific. Who are the players getting persistent recalls based on past glory alone?

Onazi is definitely living in past glory. Musa and Moses Simon too, Moses Simon's own is even worse because I really don't even know which past glory he is living in, the coach just like a him. I just named three players that I think are living on past glory, now lemme name three players that can easily replace them; Kayode, Onyekuru, Dressier, let me not go on.

you want to know why Onazi needs to be dropped? easy, because we have better players in that position, let me not even get into the technical aspects. I however agree that he is a vital utility player, but a starter? No no

I believe there are players already playing there prime, and he is right onazi is one, even Mikel obi is also at his prime, we all know what musa can do and I don't he can get any better at this age, simon mosses is not doing well too, recalling Ighalo was because of the nature of the opponent.

I don't think these players have anything spectacular to offer, but may be in the next two yrs we won't hear much abt them except something drastic happens.
