safarigirl: I think you are right...wit the bolded... let's keep out fingers crossed. I remember how miserable our midfield was in the last world cup....that azeez could not line up one pass to his fellow players on the pitch.....against Iran...even as poor as mikel was that day...he yelled at him..for such abysmal display.... against France too.....Onazi injury caused a serious problem...to put team..... just want a good bench to compliment the players on the pitch... 3 Likes |

Icon4s: I watched him in the CAF Confederation cup and he was pure gold. I think Joel Obi is a matter of fitness and it would be wise to have other options in case of incasity. |

Icon4s: Cool, but did u know that Rohr is looking for a better backup to Mikel Obi? The few times Agu came on for Mikel, he was far from being impressive. In Sokari I guess we would have a better sub for Mikel. Categorise Agu as a DM or CM, even there, he stand no chance because Ndidi, Onazi, Etebo, Ogu, Joel are all better |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by safarigirl(f): 10:30am On Dec 25, 2017 |
Humility017:he combines well with Ndidi and thwy shield the defense very well. Sokari creating like Mikel is quite the expectation, I don't expect him to be any better than Iwobi to be honest. I have never watched him, but I repeat, if he was that awesome, we should have been seeing more of him earlier |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Humility017(m): 10:33am On Dec 25, 2017 |
safarigirl: i pray he gets invited and let's see I he can deliver..... iwobi in the AM role...I don't really fancy...mikel playing there is a plus being that he can offer well defensively too....reason why Joel obi or sokari is more handy.... anyway let's wait till March....Grace keep us till then. 1 Like |

AIG07: Hmm, so you think he is no longer overhyped but a prospect. Hahahaha! If Kayode whose harvest of goals that helped catapulted Maccabi to the Israeli top flight, and prompted the club doubled his salary is still prospect, if Kayode who became the third highest goal scorer in his first season in the Israeli top flight league and later went to became the third highest goal scorer in the Austrian league the next season, and if Kayode who in his second season became the top goal scorer and best player in the Austrian league is still a prospect to you, even after all these in a space of 4 seasons, then I know you have not critically analysed his career but have spoken as one of those Nigerians who are always carried away by the wind of sentiment or interested in other meaningless issues. If Kayode is a prospect then what is Kelechi at 21 and Nwakaeme at 28? world class, ba? Well, it is your opinion and it remains so because Guardiola and Man city know better hence the reason they bought him and sent him to the best league in the world. Abi, you just think they just wan spend money on a 24 years old player wey come over hyped join? Hahaha! No be you wan see Nwakaeme who struggled for two good seasons before he found his foot to become the second highest goal scorer last season in the Israeli top flight league to be given a chance because you believe he is better than Kayode at 28 years old? Oga! See what happened before Guardiola bought kayode. A bold statement to make, however, sources close to the player’s camp told KweséESPN that Pep Guardiola watched films of the youngster for two months before making a decision on him. if true, that tells its own story, and a good one too.

Even Kingsley Sokari has joined the list of players we should call up for the world cup I'm expecting to see more names sha... . It will be interesting.... The NFF should arrange two friendlies in March sha... So Rohr would get d chance to test more new players.... Merry Christmas super eagles fans! |

zicky:How else would the thread be as long if random names are not called? Someone even said Sokari is better than Joel. Another agreed with an emotional fan who said he is the best midfielder in leagues all over Africa. It's his time. It will be up soon. Then may be Gbolahan Salami will take over.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by edi287: 1:19pm On Dec 25, 2017 |
There is simply no logical explanation in inviting Sokari before Joel Obi. He's a good player with decent vision and a good shot (at least from what I've seen on YouTube). However, I'll seriously question Rohr's scouting team if he's invited over Joel Obi or even Ajagun. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by COOL10(m): 1:20pm On Dec 25, 2017 |

Icon4s: you taking this too far.... that's just a metaphor...not necessarily the way you see it. I will want the boy invited and tried...likewise Joel obi and let's see what they all have to offer..... you keep saying class is permanent.... class I can't relate to......I watched the last world cup.....all the class talk players could barely deliver...it was Babatunde that stole the show.... please oga icon...let' rohr pick the best for that remaining midfield slot.... 2 Likes |

edi287: question what? please you guys should let rohr do his job......I will want Joel obi to be tried too.... and let the best be picked... I believe they're lot of players way better in football than Agu.... he has not been able to utilize his chances...let someone else come in. even Alhassan won't be bad...but we need someone who can not only score when necessary but create chances as well... |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Humility017(m): 1:34pm On Dec 25, 2017 |
Icon4s: playing in Chan shouldn't stop our football administrators from embarking on age grade tourney....just that the coaches have no plans likewise the nff....and when you've got no plans of this kind...you only plan to fail.... they've not started preparing for the qualifiers not until after the draws.. they will begin their fire brigade approach.... and for the CHAN team...may be we have not start reapinh the fruits of it success..... I do believe we start eating from It's grapes when we start to get it right wit our league.... the mindset of our NPFL players need to be cleansed...as well.... the CHAN still remain one of their most saving route to Europe or any other top African league.....where the ambitous ones can choose to develop further and grow from there....though I have not seen any since CHAN inception the ejike and kolanut boy all wallowing in Africa leagues till date.....I believe they will come still...as we make progress..... I am really concerned I wanna watch yusuf sanusi coaching prowess, ezenwa and ajiboye and if there be any outstanding player that could fetch Super eagles invitation prior the World cup.... |
