I'm not absolutely questioning his inclusion.

It's just that he had hardly gotten game time of recent and his form has dipped.

If this continues (and I hope it doesn't), then frankly speaking, his making the squad won't be purely on merit

Now, I hope he regains his form. Dude worked hard for us to get to the mundial

Overseas offers pour in for CHAN Eagles stars Faleye, Kalu Orji, Gabriel


The CHAN Eagles are already reaping the benefits of their heroics at this year’s CHAN in Morocco as no fewer than six of them are now considering overseas offers.

SCORENigeria investigations have shown that two top clubs are jostling for 19-year-old Sunday Faleye, who enjoyed to great games against Rwanda and Libya at the CHAN.

An elbow dislocation will rule him out of the semi-final and final of the tournament.
We further gathered that defender Kalu Orji could also be heading back to Europe after a short-lived spell in Albania last year as he is now processing his travel papers to Kazakhstan after he received a concrete offer from that country.

Striker Gabriel Okechukwu, who scored the winners in both the quarterfinal and semi-final has received a rash of offers from Russia, Norway and Switzerland with that of Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca already public knowledge.

Eagles oldest player at CHAN, Rabiu Ali, has also been a target of a number of clubs in Asia.
This was the second appearance of the 37-year-old Kano Pillars midfielder at the tournament having also featured when Nigeria finished third four years ago in South Africa.
And even before CHAN, Stephen Eze and Eneji have reached an agreement with foreign clubs.

Giant central defender Eze has joined Bulgarian club Levski Plodiv, while nippy winger Eneji is expected at La Liga side Villarreal.
Eneji was scouted during last year’s WAFU Cup in Ghana, from where midfielder Afeez Aremu has since signed for IK Start of Norway.
Striker Kingsley Eduwo, who qualified Nigeria to 2018 CHAN, is already banging in the goals for new Tunisian club CS Sfaxien
Ibrahim Alhassan ‘Muazzam’ and Stephen Odey have since the CHAN qualifying playoffs against Benin last year moved to Austria Wien and FC Zurich, respectively.



Who is going where after CHAN?

Sunday Faleye – Austrian clubs

Gabriel Okechukwu – Russia, Norway, Raja Casablanca

Kalu Orji – Kazakhstan

Rabiu Ali – Asia, Africa

Peter Eneji – Villarreal

Hahahahahahahahaha...
funny thing is there were a couple of times I would skip such long note lectures and simply pick them up and have them photocopied after class due to other major stuffs I had to attend to. Medical school is fun if one knows how to balance his other life goals with it.

So I am safe then? But why "lie detector"? Here to scrutinise every poster's comment and reveal the lies? Loooollllll

Kog45:
Yes Etebo have the same opportunity like other 34 players to fight for a place.

Truly 35 players would be in camp but i can tell you the following 10 players are sure bet baring any injury Mikel Obi,Victor Moses,Leon Balogun,Ekong Troost, Wilfred Ndidi,*Onazi Ogenyi,Odion Ighalo,Kelechi Iheanacho,Shehu Abdullahi and Alex Iwobi.

Humility017:

don't forget...rohr loves etebor also...I remember his love for etebor all started after his 4 goals against Japan in the last Olympic

Kog45:
Thank you,i just don't know why we always takes things personally especially football, the man Salisu as you said may be technically deficient but that doesn't give us audacity to curse him.

I know if he is a white man trust some Nigerians fans they would make excuse for him,why are we always harsh on our local coaches and even home based players, this thing should stop,let's criticise with a balance minds.

Yes he lost the final by 4 nil but we should know it's final though the team was poor but there are ways we should knock the team not cursing.

Kog45:
37 years old Rabiu Ali? this gonna be a record signing.

Kalu Orji-Kazakhstan?better to remain in NPFL

TheSuperNerd:
You are not far from the truth at all Sir Royalty. But let us also remember that at the Olympics Etebo played mostly as an LM/LW.

LieDetector:
you're safe bro. Name was birthed during GEJ's lie detector incident. Jettisoned my previous moniker because I was beginning to love the huge attention this handle affords me(not saying I'm an attention seeker tho). This thread is one of those threads I'd least expect lies to thrive. Trust me to bust'em should I come across any

tbaba1234:


It is not his favorite role but he is better at it than the attacking roles.

TheSuperNerd:
Good.... CM (box-to-box) is one of Etebo's best two positions. The other is LM.

You are right that he is not in direct competition with Onazi. But the thing is this. If Mikel and Ndidi are sure starters, then the other third midfield slot (depending on the formation we play) will fall to one of Onazi, Etebo or Ogu.

If Etebo is picked, it means Ndidi plays DM, while Etebo plays CM.

If Onazi is picked, it means Onazi plays DM while Ndidi plays CM.

If Ogu is picked, it means we get to see how they both played against Argentina with Mikel.

It all boils down to Tactics and formation chosen. But in the end, people must remember that Onazi is assistant Super Eagles Captain and is a favorite to start games too.

Our starting WC midfield is still likely to be Mikel-Ndidi-Onazi. Changes will be subject to tactical tweaks and more. Time will tell.

Icon79:
I think Rohr would play 3-5-2 in Russia ... at least, against Croatia and Argentina. For some reasons, I think Rohr likes Awazien and he would like to make him a starter. In addition, I think it would make sense to play with two DMs against stronger teams like Croatia and Argentina.


O pari

Danielnino00:




Me thinks Etebo will do better as a CMF or Winger.. he's got a lot of energy and he's a hard tackler...
Rohr is trying to make him Mikel's deputy and that's obviously not working....

Icon4s:


On the formation Rohr wants to adopt, let's see the next few friendlies first.

And I still insist that if Rohr wants to fully adopt the 3-5-2 it means a good number of our Full backs and wingers would be surplus to requirements.

TheGoodJoe:



Too harsh for a man who gave us our best record in the CHAN and a man who has given so much for Nigerian football. Salisu Yusuf deserves more respect than this.

Humility017:

the NPFL will not pay his bills, cloth or feed his family...
dude have few years to kick football round the pitch...so he gotta make as much dollars as he can....
