while una stikk dey follow am talk, let us talk about the people that don't need talks to play for us.

That is being realistic, not dreaming about players that are attached

Kog45:
Oga icon4s u be boss here,pls i want u to tell us d striker now,agreed Nacho is warming bench,Ighalo not too clinical.

Pls let's go down to memory lane,Westerhoff era,we have Yekini,Amokachie, Siasia as d strikers but i can tell u they are not our best in Europe as at that time but d best in national team.

Hope u remember Richard Owubokiri in Boavista,d second best striker in d whole Europe but couldn't break into Eagles, Did u remember Mike Obiku in Feyenord,Chris Ohenhen in Compostela in LA liga.

These are in form player and superb strikers who are supposed to be in d team but Westerhoff believe National team was a different ball games and he stick to his team especially Samson Siasia who was finding it difficult in Europe.

Despite Efan Ekoku high profile with Norwich he find it difficult to break into XI,if I can remember Ekoku only had a game against Zaire.

My question is this where are d strikers that are better,if we can get them no issue,national team belongs to all players.

Kog45:
My man am not comparing this team with any old super eagles teams.

My point is this do we have players to give Iheanacho, Ighalo a serious fight for a shirt at d moment.

safarigirl:
ehn. You'll be vindicated after the World Cup.

Joebie:
Pinnick cannot force any player on Rohr. The best he can do is aid the process of the switch. However, if Tammy is invited and comes good under Rohr before Russia, nobody can stop Tammy from going. We can shout all we want on NL.

Icon4s:


Is the World Cup this month?

Joebie:
Haha you have just conceded there is none at the moment. Nobody is saying we should shut the doors to other strikers. The fact is Ighalo is our best at the moment.

Icon4s:


safarigirl, you know me well for who I am as per my ideologies here.

I don't just clamor for players any how.

Yes we will continue to discuss the players we have already but do you recognise the lack of quality in our attack?

Icon4s:


Begging ke.

He has not rejected Nigeria. He just has not accepted Nigeria yet. So he us still open for talks.

safarigirl:
I'm guessing you just don't like Cyril Dessers. Not Nigerian enough?

TheGoodJoe:


Ighalo's had other flaws apart from anticipating a cross. He missed chances too. I repeat, if Iheanacho had that exact performance, he would have been crucified here.

jotey:


someone else is behind this moniker

the icon4s we know will not beg for Tammy to play for nigeria after snubbing and embarrassing us

I rather will call back yakubu than to see tammy play for us

besides I don't think he is even better than iheanacho

Icon4s:


Is the World Cup this month?

Icon4s:


It means you have not been reading my posts well.

Have we not been discussing on how to improve the attack for the world cup?

Icon4s:

Has Tammy rejected Nigeria?

Kog45:
My man na today we go know how tomorrow go be.

Pls can u give me a pool of players u think they can do it.

jotey:


he said he is focused on England u-21

why not let him be

is it by force?

Joebie:
The World Cup is still 9 months or so away. Many things can happen before then. I'm just saying things as it is. I'm not in #ProTeamTAmmy. Neither am I in #TeamAntiTammy. The reality is TAmmy has potentials and has never turned down Nigeria. Whether he comes good eventually for us remains to be seen. You can't make a premature argument that he is better than Ighalo. Someone that still has much to prove at club level and has not even earned his first SE cap. come on now.. Every position in SE needs competition. I'm comfortable about Ighalo's performance lately. I'm not saying he is the best possible. But at the moment, he is the best 9 I have seen so far under Rohr.

jotey:
those shouting he is under yeye pressure pressure

iwobi was under much pressure even on his first competitive debut against Egypt.I Can still remember the English FA begging him to play for them but yet iwobi snubbed them for us

Icon4s:


It cannot be by force.

Since he is still eligible to represent Nigeria, we have the rights to hold talks with him and his reps on the issue.

Mujtahida:

You have the gift of being balanced in your judgements. Respect.

Icon4s:


Oga, the WC is still 9months away, the European season is still young.

My point is we must recognise the fact that our attacking department is lagging.

If you say the attack does not need improvements no wahala. But I am sure Rohr has recognized this fact. How strikers will be invited for assessment from here onwards is left to Rohr and his crew to decide.

do4luv14:



other flaws,

I had to give up yesterday cos, my battery was running down,
even now too,

but did like to ask, when will you see the good in another striker apart from Nacho in regards to the SE

femianski:
for me ighalo had a nice game
concerning that counter attack that iwobi set up ighalo shouldn't have cut back he should have tried to use his left foot
am sure kelechi would have converted that chance cos he is a left footer
but if we should take a close look at ighalo performance he did well (a bit above average) cos of his work rate except from the chance he missed from Moses Simon cross
he was too slow to convert that Chance
I am sure kelechi would have converted that chance cos he gets into scoring positions
to crown it all both ighalo and kelechi shouldn't be written off cos they are very good in their own talent
ighalo can bully but his finishing is a bit above average while kelechi is a wonderful finisher but he needs to improve on his strength and first touch

Mujtahida:

Sir Icon4s you are unusually passionate about this Tammy matter and I guess it's cos of the fact that something vital is missing in that attack. Truth is we can build at least a quarter final team if we have all the right pieces in place. But getting that guy would be extremely difficult, even more so than when we got Iwobi but no harm in trying. The best, the very best is what we want for the team.
