Humility017: I see it as a disencouragement to players who are striving for excellence and the recognition of true exceptional talent devoid of sentiments and or favouritism. The enthronement of mediocrity over exceptional quality. Very dissapointing but not suprising this sort of unjustifiable approach is mirrored in so many areas of our national approaches in appointment and selection. |

komekn:how will you feel he should register an apology when you obviously share his views? If they had taken one of those funny English 'talents' you constantly bring up here, you would have endorsed the list. Your own view is moot as far as this topic is concerned. Stop trying to explain away what he meant by corruption, it is clear as day. This useless thing you are bringing up about 'context' is expected, you can all say whatever, but 97% of posters here are very sentimental when they want to read posts and you are one of them 5 Likes |

Joebie: If you check my Post on Forgiveness Grievances against Rohr and the List, you would see where I pointed out this ain't a World Cup List, that anything can happen between now and before the List is made. Player like Etebo is needed in the Team. He can be a super-Sub like Martial is doing at United. I will also include him on my List as a Joker on the Bench if I'm the Coach. However, you and I have to agree that he's actually not a AM, and if you want his Best on the Pitch, play him as a Wing-Forward. He gets the Strength, Pace and Tenacity to torment any FB on his Way. His Exploits at the Olympic wasn't in the Hole but on the Wing if my Memory serves me right. Hence we only have only Iwobi and Mikel who can play as AM in the Team. Ogu keeps making the List, yet he has not been tested in any competitive Match by Rohr. Thus he should have been the one on the supplementary List instead of Muazam; which would have balanced the Numbers of AMs and DMs on the List. 1 Like |

Oasis007:I totally agree wit you on etebo... I think my only reservation on that list is musa inclusion for ogu...the dude has not been tested so it won't make sense dropping him... dropping him for what...? when he has not been tested so how can be judged ? I think musa should have been omitted he don't deserve to be on that list at all.... he should have give way for one more winger like yinka or Dennis.....or even alhassan..who has been scoring lately.... anyway like I read somewhere...rohr apprecIate the sense of humor and liveliness he brings to the team |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 10:15am On Oct 31, 2017 |
I think Etebo was one of the highest rated players in our match against Algeria, although not one of our best games. He played in midfield, probably box to box, looking at the way he played. At the olympics, he played as a LW according to transfermarkt. I want to think Rohr is focusing on other positions he's not really decided on yet. For now, he seems to be satisfied with Mikel as AM and maybe Iwobi as well. His approach may be to solve the most pressing need first. A player placed on standby is actually a good sign. so no cause for alarm. Oasis007: |

safarigirl: Ok what is corruption? Let me taje you up on that. Why was Ahmed Musa invited? You will say there are extra non-footballing reasons why he was invited and I will ask why should non-footballing reasons be implemented in football? That is corruption and lack of merit, however we all have our values and community standards, I do not like going about shouting corruption but he does and if you study it from his own context he may be right, it is left for you to come out and defend Rohr's integrity. Haven't you seen me defending Nwakali's invitation? And what is this rubbish about forgiveness being my comrade? Well I have no enemy around here so he is my friend but if you think we always come to eachother's rescue then you are mistaking, we agree on virtually nothing except Martins maybe. And I am not saying these things because it's forgiveness, I would run to the defence of anybody who gets attacked like that, I didn't quote your own comment because I know you are not willing to learn 3 Likes 1 Share |

Joebie: We've eventually come to the same Conclusion Bro. I said it earlier he's gonna definitely be a Hit as a B2B Midfielder because of his Strength, Pace and Tenacity. Also I claimed he's best played as a Wing-Forward cos he excelled well playing the Position at Rio Olympic. Thus it's apparent Etebo can't be classed as a AM which limit the Numbers of AMs on the List to two - Mikel and Iwobi respectively. Hope you get the Reason I asked for the Inclusion of Muazam on the List bro?! |

Humility017: I don't wanna cause another reckless argument, otherwise would have nailed you with bolded. Lol. Rohr has seen him played in the Training Sessions, he has assessed his Style of Play, yet he chose to replace Onazi with Agu while Ogu was also on the Bench. Why do you want Musa out of the Team, but wants Ogu to keep getting the Call up only to be updating his Instagram Page with SE News?! Just joking. 1 Like |

safarigirl: My Dear, We are all sentimental here. All of us. 100% Just that our sentiments defer. For eg my sentiment is for us to be consistent especially at the back and also to field experienced players in the midfield and defense. My sentiment is also to have young Enterprising attackers. That is the sentiment I share. Another word for sentiment is opinion or school of thought. All of us consciously or unconsciously have favorite players in the team. Eg Mikel, Balogun, Shehu and Iwobi are my favorite players. But that doesn't mean I will not criticise them when I need to. And that is the difference. Where it has gone bad is where peeps turn to personal attorneys to their favorite players. And people calling the coach and NFF all sorts of names when their favorite players are omitted. I expected Kayode to be called up but he was not. Do I have to call Rohr names because of that? |

Yes I got your point. only two AM's Mikel, and Iwobi hasn't played as an AM under Rohr. Very good point. However, I think we have better options for AM that were not even called up. Oasis007: |

AGENT SPEAKS C. Nwakali's Call-Up Well Deserved, Man City Have Plans For Him, Says Agent Published: October 31, 2017 C. Nwakali's Call-Up Well Deserved, Man City Have Plans For Him, Says Agent Allwell Nwakali, the elder brother and representative of Manchester City loanee Chidiebere Nwakali, has commented on the invitation of the central midfielder to the national team for the upcoming games against Algeria and Argentina. ''Chidiebere's invitation is well deserved because during his time with the U17s he was one of the best players. If you check after Isaac Success that got a club, he was next,'' Allwell Nwakali told allnigeriasoccer.com. ''Man City bought Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidiebere the same time before Chidera Ezeh joined Porto. ''Apart from the work permit issue that made him not to play for Girona, he has been playing despite the fact Norwegian League is not as glamorous as other leagues like La Liga and the English Premier League.'' Manchester City, Chidiebere Nwakali's main employer, are happy with his progress in Scandinavia, and have him in their plans provided that he is issued a work permit by the English authorities. ''Everybody knows he has been playing well. If he has not been playing well City won't be happy with him. ''City are still happy with him and say they have plans for him despite we are facing a little problem with his work permit. ''With his inclusion in the Super Eagles team, it will be easier for him to get the work permit. As soon as he gets his work permit he'll go back to England and will do better in the Premier League. ''He is very young and full of energy. It is a well deserved one and I thank the coaching crew, the NFF and people that remember Chidiebere is still in existence. '' They told me when his time come they will invite him and they fulfilled their promise. I hold them in high esteem,'' added Allwell Nwakali. This season, Nwakali has played 26 games for Sogndal in all competitions, scoring four goals, and captained the team in the Norwegian Premier League match against Lillestrom on October 15.

Humility017: You still wanna toe this Line?! Lol! Seriously we do not need to drag it more than we've done already. Let's rest the Case, coz this won't change anything Bro. You are simply doing what Forgiveness would do for Ajagun; while he merited the Call up but ignored. Was Kayode fully tested before he's no longer getting the Nod of Rohr for the Call up?! I've made it clear already that Musa doesn't deserve the Call up based on Merit same as Ogu, whose his Age and Experience couldn't guarantee him a Spot in the Starting XI or a direct Replacement for Onazi. 1 Like |
