solonnachi:I don't know what that Mike Agu has in him as a midfielder to be part of the team. that Dessers of a guy, so hyped and popular in this forum... the most talked about player yet to be invited. And its a misery to my as why he's still playing at a lowly Utrecht FC club if he's that good. ![]() I really hope Rohr keeps inviting Onyekuru to show what he can ad to the team. You're right about Etebo about his height, but not so about where he plays. And his current; form is letting him down at this crucial time. I totally agree with you about Omeruo. I don't trust that guy one bit. Seems he's lost all what earned him a place in the team initially. 1 Like |

Icon79: These kind of statements make no substantive rational. I take them with a pinch of salt. If Pep truly believed that Uche was that good why did he not buy him. In the scheme of things Uche would cost Barca literally chicken change. 1 Like |

Most goals or assists in English league football this season? � Kane? ❌ de Bruyne? ❌ Salah? ❌ Aguero? ❌ It's Adebayo Akinfenwa (10 goals, 6 assists) � Too big to play football they said � https:///lHyuGJdMIp Source @ODDSbible 2 Likes

Questence:They will soon clean out every form of skill from football in the name of effectiveness and results. One of the recent articles on goal.com postulates that Pep is on his way to changing how we see gk in that they are going to be outfield players. Not only gk but Pep's tweaking of total football would also see the end of traditional strikers. 5 Likes |

Ebuehi's 6.77 rating don't make him a bad player. Both Lawal and Azubuike are pretty good. Who can play as a 10 is another matter. Both player are good ball holders though. Azubuike is a good passer, but can he also produce goals of his own? jihday: 1 Like |

Wonderful cross from Joel Obi. We need that kind of option in SE. He is my pick to deputize Mikel. I don't know about his ball holding capability. But he offers even more attack-wise. 8 Likes |

Mujtahida: Your assumption is entirely misguided, is that why I called for Joel Obi and Sone Aluko who have both played for the SE already. The same reason I called for Efe Ambrose who has already played for the SE, the same reason I called for Obagoal who you all know. That's continuity but with a proviso if good enough, if not tested how will you know ![]() English Nigerian players do not need the SE to further thier careers it doesn't really add any value to them per se. Nigerian born players do. I have no quest for Nigeria English players to flood the SE. The unit of measurement is simply quality. Are they better than what we have ![]() I can see the debate becomes emotive and prejudicial. Because your assumption is totally untrue to what purpose. One thing I want is Nigerian football to go on the ascendancy. You have moved the goal post on two occasions. Firstly, I only rate players in the EPL that's not true. I gave countless examples current and even projected of players that left league one straight to the EPL. My view is that we should not wait for them to be recognised by the English FA before we jump in. That I only want English Nigerian players. Which could be perceived to be by practice but is wrong by intention. My involvement with English football and indepth experiential knowledge makes it inevitable to talk about what I clearly know about. It would be arrant noise making and fanzine emotive spewing to be talking about players I have not seen in training or in live matches and or spoken to thier team coaches. I still get recruitment heads asking me about Nigerian players in Europe, so I'm not totally disconnected. Continuity would mean having a core group of players in the team over 5 -10 years. But replaced by better players as those players are discovered and as time goes by. Currently we have I would say not more than 5/6 players that represent continuity. That means there should be continued assessment and invitation of players at all times World cup or no world cup to identify quality players. In this regard I have identified possibly 5/6 players as potential that's not a lot in reality. Some we will.no longer get because we waited for England to recognise them before we jumped on the bandwagon. My main unapologetic stance is seeing players who have a club performance that does not justify a call up. Players like Osimhen, Nwakali, Succes, and others that's not continuity. Again we seem to be too quick to drop older but proven players tested players for untested and unproven. Each coach Keshi, Siasia have there preferred players. My view national team selection is recognition of outstanding performance in your club and or leagues. Which can be tapered by the quality of the league and club all things being equal. What I find remarkable is that no one has e ever asked how come my involvement in football. I am not an agent although I am associated with quite a few. That I will not say. So some of my replies are obviously guarded. 4 Likes |

Mujtahida: I will admit to something in the past i was very African biased. In my football assessment where flamboyance, skill, flair and just general almost show boating where my first likes. After quite a few players I was involved with were not getting ahead. I discovered that the purpose of skill was for effective outcome delivery and end product. I remember Tega Onomah at Tottenham he was filled with skill drag backs and silky wow moments. He has dropped that in favour of effective outcome delivery. His reading of the game is exceptional and an incredible eye for disguised and defence splitting passes just astounding. That's the new effective midfielder Just like the traditional striker now has to join in play and fuses into a number of roles to be effective. |

jihday: It's difficult to say. Danny Shittu was literally frozen out at Bolton but was outside of Yobo in that era our best CB. That's why I say all things being equal. There are so many variables the coaches preferring formation and style. may not allow you to express your true ability. Demari Grey was forgotten essentially at Leicester new Manager comes in and he starts and gets awarded MOTM. |

komekn:Some persons here are not in Europe but just by taking advantage of the Internet and other sources of information they've brought other players to our attention - players like Dessers, Olayinka, Adegbenro, Onuachu, Bonaventure etc. What amazes me is that I cannot recollect you saying anything about this guys. You have not said ohh Dessers, what's the noise about this guy. Let me check him out. No you don't and won't do that simply because he's not in the EPL or championship or league one. As a lover of the Super Eagles, our eyes scan every continent and region looking for who can fit into the team. The moment we hear of any player doing well we check him out, we try- even if inadequately- through youtube videos to size him up to see if he's quality. But you are stuck with UK FB players. Not bad. But try and check others out and remove that notion from your mind that good players cannot be found in the lower rungs of the lowest leagues. Dele Alli proves that that notion is plausible but not an absolute truth. 7 Likes |
