Joel Obi will go to Russia
Enyeama also, and MAYBE Ikeme. We will be covered in goal.

realistically,which midfielder do u think Joel obi is going to replace,or u just want to make ur opinion? Ndidi,mikel,onazi,iwobi,etebor,ogu ?

Europa League Update:

Lazio 1-0 Waregem
Peter Olayinka comes off the bench for Waregem as the 2nd half resumes.

Ogu or Etebo

I've already given my reasons as regards maintaining our coverage where is actually broken and offering more in attack.
This way, Onazi has more freedom to express himself the way he should at the same time.
Our midfield is not broken. Victor Moses is the utility player full of energy.

mostob:
Etebo will offer more in midfield apart from being defensive,his energy and workrate will come handy

Joebie:
Ogu or Etebo

Barring no injury to etebo,he would go to d world cup,no sane coach will leave an etebo for Joel obi,cos etebo is a multiplayer,he can play from d wings,as a 10,could also thrive as 8,play 4 also(if a double 4 is been used),heard he also played as a left back sef in his club sometimes back

Europa League Update:

Konyaspor 2-0 Guimaraes
Konyaspor score second goal.
Patrick Friday had the assist earlier. He is still on.
Imoh Ezekiel still in Konyaspor's bench.

Europa League Update:

Rosenborg 2-0 Vardar
Rosenborg scores second goal.
Samuel Adegbenro still on.

Daninya11:


Reports has it that he is a controversial referee.

It will be in our favour...

Versatility is a plus. But Joel Obi's ratings cannot be ignored. What argument do you have for Ogu?

Nigeria/Zambia: FIFA Appoints Bondo to Take Charge of Nigeria, Zambia Showdown



Joshua Bondo, a 39-year old referee from Botswana who has been an international arbiter for the past 10 years, will take charge of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying cracker between Nigeria and Zambia in Uyo next week Saturday.

World football-ruling body FIFA has appointed Bondo alongside his countrymen Oamogetse Godisamang (40, an international assistant referee since year 2010), who will serve as Assistant Referee 1, and Tirelo Mositwane (30, an international referee since 2013), who will serve as Fourth Official. Souru Phatsoane from Lesotho will be the Assistant Referee 2.

Mr. Carlos Manuel Neves Henriques from South Africa will be the Referee Assessor while Sudanese Osama Hassan Ataaelmanan, who was Match Commissioner for the Match-day 4 clash between the Super Eagles and the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in Yaounde on September 4, will repeat the same role in Uyo on October 7.

Nigeria will seal a sixth FIFA World Cup appearance with the minimum win in Uyo, in a clash that will see the winners of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations and the champions of the 2013 edition come face-to-face in a match of huge significance. Kick -off is 5pm at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

How can they give a southern african referee this game?? CAF are smoking that high grade weed again

Jordan Torunarigha (Hertha) currently has the highest tackles of 4 according to whoscored. Hertha still trail Alhaji Gero's Oestersunds by 1 goal.

Europa League Update:

Rosenborg 2-0 Vardar
Rosenborg scores second goal.
Samuel Adegbenro still on.

This Samuel adegbenro was mentioned by an account on twitter that is quite good with identifying young and promising players, they call themselves breakingthelines..they were running a countdown of sorts.

Europa League Update:

Lugano 1-2 FCSB
Lugano have fallen behind despite scoring the opener.
Amuzie is not involved, but let's hope he get's his papers sorted out before return leg.

Anthony Nwaekeme with the equalizer

Anthony Nwakaeme scores for Hapoel

For ogu,if Joel obi is fit he might b dropped,but instead of picking an injury prone Joel obi to d world cup,if alhassan Ibrahim can proof d coaching crew beyond doubt, dey would prefer him to joel

mostob:

Rohr w not tamper with Ndidi Onazi combo for now,hope Mikel and Ndidi calm things down in d middle and Onazi doing d needful.

Yes he's scored some breathtaking goals lately. His pair of goals helped Rosenborg knock out Ajax from getting to this stage.

Joel Obi very good player but he can disappoint anytime due to injury,apart from that very solid midfielder.

wonderful

Europa League Update:

Plzn 2-1 Sheva (83 mins played)

Plzn go ahead again after Nwakaeme leveled earlier, 7 minutes after his introduction.
Anthony Nwakaeme's goal was a touch of class. He received a cross from the right flank with his back to goal, only to turn
with a strike that left Plzn goalie sprawling. But Ales Hruska probably should have done better to prevent that.

VERY SOLID .. near world class

Ogu or Etebo

so if u r Rohr,u would drop Etebo,after having worked so hard during the qualifiers,and still very much inform,been tasted and trusted, u would drop such a player to a player like joel obi,first injury prone,second,qaulity wise,just average.
then explain the reason why u joel in place of etebo and ogu,is he better than them?

actually 4 Nigerians or so made the list. All of which are regular names here.
I have learned to be careful about swallowing all I read Here in terms of praise for our own players, hook line and sinker as sometimes there can be too much sentiments .. I was particularly happy to see a different neutral body of persons affirming some of you here

You started a good argument until you used the words "just average".
Now I don't have to reply

I'm not sure I understand you. But don't forget everyone is free to express their opinions. The reason for the English word -- subjective.
Even editors and well renowned football pundits disagree a lot. Don't expect this will not be the case on Nairaland. Have your say and don't get irritated when someone has a different opinion.

Truly i w not take Joel Obi and leave Etebo and d reason is simple,Joel Obi is injury prone but when w talk of class d guy is not average,with his injury history d guy by now he would have forget football but still playing in serial A tells a lot,d guy is good.

lol. You really should have asked for clarification on what exactly I was trying to say at that point.
The rest of the post has almost nothing to do with what I was saying.
