Whether you are sentimental about foreign-bred or not, I must say we must give Pinnick and co praise for turning a new chapter in the war for players' allegience. I must say Pinnick and in fact the new NFF has made playing for the Super Eagles more attractive than ever before, regardless of the problems we still face in national football matters. We have improved in packaging and the use of influence and better approach (compared to the past) in the way we go about convincing these young talents to turn up for Nigeria. Let's give credits when it is due. However there is still room for improvement especially is it has to do having a solid football structure domestically. 1 Like |

The Super Eagles becoming interesting. No player can do us shakara again. Tammy Abraham, Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi, KC Iheanacho, Leon Balogun, Ola Aina etc on the rise. But we must maintain this success for the good of our football. |

Swansea City boss Paul Clement admits he would like to see Tammy Abraham choose England over Nigeria The young striker is set to turn his back on England for Nigeria, but Clement admits he would rather Abraham choose the Three Lions Swansea City manager Paul Clement admits he would like to see striker Tammy Abraham stay with England - but he insisted he would not influence the Chelsea loanee's decision. Abraham, who has gone through the England youth system, appears set to switch his national allegiance to Nigeria, according to the Nigerian Football Federation. The striker is eligible to play for the Super Eagles through his father, but Clement admits he would rather see him pull on the Three Lions jersey. Swansea City manager Paul Clement "I don't know about that," said Clement. "I have seen the article but I have not asked him as there are more pressing issues at the moment. "There would be more travel involved, but whatever he chooses to do is up to him. "From a personal point of view I would like him to stay with England. I say that because I am English and he is a talent you want involved in the national side." Swansea City's Tammy Abraham set to switch international allegiance, according to Nigerian Football Federation president However, despite his preference for the player to choose England over Nigeria, Clement was adamant that he would offer impartial advice to the 19-year-old - and not try and sway his decision. When asked whether this sort of situation was more prominent in modern football, Clement said: "It is, and it is down to the player. "They may see a better opportunity to play regularly at international level or it can be a belief that is where their identity lies. "But it is down to the player. I have no idea what Tammy will do, he has come through the English system puts him at an advantage. "I will give advice if he wants it, but I will not try to influence him. It is down to him and his family." The debate surrounding Abraham's nationality comes as the young striker continues to adapt to life in the Premier League, having scored 26 goals in the Championship last season with Bristol City. The major selection dilemmas facing Swansea City as big stars face huge disappointment this weekend And Clement has been impressed with how Abraham has dealt with moving up to the top tier, saying: " He has made the biggest step of his career, I am not surprised at how he has done. "He has done fine and will get better. When you make a step like this, going to the Premier League, it is challenging and difficult. "He has done some good things and some that could have been better but we are working to help him and the players get better." |

TheSuperNerd:I feel he should have been given the opportunity to play when Mikel was subbed. I trust Rohr's choice though, I just feel for Ogu sha. He was the sacrificial lamb for Uchebo at the last World Cup yet he remains so committed. I guess he doesn't have a choice - seems he needs the SE more than the Super Eagles need him. |

Work Permit Delays Amuzie’s Lugano Debut By Johnny Edward Super Eagles left-back Stanley Amuzie is yet to make his much-awaited debut for his new Swiss League side FC Lugano because he has yet to procure his work permit, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Amuzie joined FC Lugano on a season loan deal from Italian side Sampdoria. He will play no part in their clash against Sion on Thursday due the work permit issue. The former Nigeria U-23 defender has continued to shine in training for the Swiss club, and could be named in the squad for their weekend’s clash with Grasshoppers. “My registration isn’t ready yet, I’m still waiting for my work permit,” Amuzie told Completesportsnigeria.com. FC Lugano are sixth on the table with eight points from seven matches. Amuzie made his debut for the Super Eagles against Egypt in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in 2016 in Kaduna.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 3:50pm On Sep 21, 2017 |
Yes... it should have been Ogu for Mikel against Cameroun in Yaounde and not Agu bcoa of Ogu's ball holding/retention abilities but all the same sha... I wanna believe Rohr has taken note. And Ogu is in line for his world cup debut for Nigeria. I see him making the final squad this time but not as a starter. He is a quality back-up to have on the bench and that is the kind of bench I speak of. A bench that oozes quality. Mujtahida: |

I think transfermarkt. com is one tool many of us should master. I have learned a lot from there. Also whoscored. com . Let's all learn how to search with these and more. I like whoscored .com for stats and ratings. I consider their player of the week most objective, because it considers actual stats with a level playing field in view. We can all come up with our best XI and we will hardly agree all the time, but stats removes all sentiments. Which is why a paper can name Awaziem in its best XI but another paper would not name him there. However, editors are a professional voice, and their opinions should also be respected. Mujtahida: |

TheSuperNerd: Dessers is easier than Tammy. He has not played for Belgium and has declared interest in Nigeria. His own is a breeze. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 3:55pm On Sep 21, 2017 |
Like Rohr rightly said, nobody complained when Agu replaced Mikel in Uyo. Hahaha.. it didn't seem like we missed Mikel one bit in that game. I remember we even scored another after he was subbed-out. But hey, we all want to see what Ogu can bring in a competitive match, though it is clear Rohr consider Agu ahead. Let's not forget Agu also once started in a friendly and did wonderfully well -- if I'm not mistaking. Have you not seen my squad for Algeria already? I'm not going to throw Tammy in yet, because I don't expect that switch to be official before the year runs out. TheSuperNerd: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 3:56pm On Sep 21, 2017 |
Yes... and Dessers will eventually be called up I am sure. Not sure when... but I hope soon after qualification is officially bagged. Right now, Tammy plays at a higher level then Dessers so he is definitely a keen priority. Bag Tammy and ward off England... then bag Dessers with Belgium not even looking his way hopefully and hia declared interest already. So no harm done... we win on both sides.. tbaba1234: |

TheGoodJoe:Goodjoe I understand how you feel about negative football but truth is if parking the bus would take us to Russia so be it. When we get to Russia we would open the bus. If Cameroun had parked the bus in the Uyo game perhaps things would have been different. With Zambia we should be daring and precise in front, enterprising in the middle and impenetrable at the back. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 4:02pm On Sep 21, 2017 |
Exactly.... nobody noticed in the first leg because we were already home and dry.. and the Lions were well wounded and stripped of their claws by the time Agu walked in... loolll But in a different scenario, we saw the limitation of that substitution. Rohr has taken note of this I am sure. Hindsight ehn... very funny. Always right because it speaks based on a result of something... lol And yes Agu started against Togo in that 3-0 win. He did well in the game. Maybe Ogu and Agu together for Algeria after bagging the ticket against Zambia? loolll And plsss don't include Tammy biko... his switch will be made official when it will be made official... I dey even put am for latest early next year in January/February or march sef... lolll Put Dessers upfront instead... Or maybe Nwakaeme or Larry Kayode... your choice man.. your list... your call...

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mujtahida: 4:03pm On Sep 21, 2017 |
Joebie:Not sure this is meant for me. However let me say that I have never been good with numbers and when I started watching football the only stats that we had on our minds were the goals and quite later on the prize of a player. So making the switch to follow stats that look at tackles, passes, blocks, interceptions etc as is the norm today is difficult for me. I no kukuma like numbers. |
