TheSuperNerd:
Boss Joseph1013, Sir Terzurum5, Sir Orkpekyandega, Chief Icon4s.... all other monikers and protocols duly recognised.

I think with the appointment of our youth and cadet team coaches, we need to create new threads for them to follow up on news about them separately from the Super Eagles. This has always been the trend... what do you suggest? Normally it is Joseph1013 who handles and creates all threads on our under age sides.... so what do you guys think? I am dropping this here because none ahead of the 2019 Tournaments have been created just yet.

List Of Players Who Should Be Part Of Coach Paul Aigbogun Next Flying Eagles Squad

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 120 days 7mins to go

Icon4s:


TheSuperNerd, sebi I mentioned something like this some pages back and you said it is like I am the new coach of the Flying for always mentioning things related to the Flying Eagles. I have even done a row call of players who are eligible and called for a creation of a New thread to discuss players for our youth teams.

We don't need any other approval. Let's create it and start discussions there.

Joebie:
I think the list is premature. Based on our practice in the past, most of the preparation/qualifiers will be executed by home based players for obvious reasons. OGN of course needs to put out some news. No doubt we can be confident that we will qualify, and we can debate on the list for the 2019 U20 world cup now if we want to.

As regards the thread, I will always give my support/presence whenever it's created.

AIG07:
Good names you've reeled out there.

I'm in support of your choice of Mikel. His ability will come handful for 35-40yards and above distances.

But that Onazi is a no no for me. I won't even like to see him stand near our dead balls either far away in our own half or near our opponent's goal,

*who is/are your pick for the pens?*

TheSuperNerd:
Dont mind me Chief .... Even while I typed that post and tagged you (as leader of Elders council) and the Pioneer Super OPs, I actually recalled that it was you who first mentioned this. Biko gbaram... lol

Oya... I leave it to you guys to decide who to create. Have in mind too that Sir Joebie is also now a Super OP here. Yep... so If Joseph1013 won't be available to create it then maybe Joebie can create it. But it has always been Joseph1013. Make una choose.

Humility017:

couple wit the fact that how that coach got the job still a mystery...

hope the nff is not trying to bring up federal character principle into appointment of national team coaches....?
because left to me....I don't care where the coach hail from..provided he does his job fine....

TheSuperNerd:
Please don't use the adulthood card to evade something that is so obvious. It is not childish pointing out a wrong and it is also not whining. If you choose to call it that, that is your problem, not mine. So if you won't feel bad when someone calls out or insults your mom, then fine, you are Mr strong. But it is dirty and wrong to do so especially on this thread known for not involving our parents in insults until just last year.... and now it has repeated itself twice this year. It is a wonder how you can comfortably call that whining and being soft.

Anyway... it is your thought. For me, It is not right and I even called out the latest culprit on it and I know he listened. Case closed on that one.

Now let's talk more football because I will not appreciate another mention or quote on this issue since some here don't mind at all that parents are being insulted and then expect us to stomach it without correcting or addressing it. Our actions now lay down the marker for rules of engagement in discussions tomorrow. Enough said. No more on this please. Thank you.

CaptainStephen:
Ndidi should also be saddled with direct freekicks from 35 yards, the boy rocket luncher leg must not waste

Humility017:

he has a character problem......
emotionally he is very weak

Humility017:


kelechi and Moses Simon should be left wit our set pieces....except penalty kicks..thay should be left to V. moses
Moses have not really impress me wit the few ones he has been left wit...

AIG07:
So your pick for penalty kicks is Victor Moses-I think that's a fair one.

Victor's ball deliveries most especially crosses are poor. But I think he can be work on. His deliveries against Cameroon in Uyo are testament to this. One from the corner kick lead to a goal. The direct free kicks he took that day weren't that bad as one hit the target though the resultant goal was over turned.

A bit of extra training should put him in shape.

kennysville:


Have you seen Iheanacho's penalty kicks? No play O! That is like iheanachos one on one with any goalie.... Dude go finish any goalie wella! I am not hyping but to me, he is better than VicMo in PK

Icon79:
So sad because he actually does have a high football IQ.


O pari

Icon79:
Yup. It's must be federal character. That's what's pulling Nigeria behind. I have actually questioned Pinnick on the criteria for selecting Salisu as the best coach to understudy Rohr. And I recommended to him that Samson Siasia is the right person for the SE's assistant coach. Siasia is the future; hence, the sooner he's seconded to gain more experience by understudying Rohr the better.

But, hey, that's the NFF for you: square pegs in round holes. Tell me how this dude got the U-20 job ahead of Emmanuel Amuneke?

Nigeria, we hail thee.


O pari

Icon4s:


The heading says "players who should be part of....". It didn't day say "these are the only players....".

Of course due to the poor performance of the last U17, the best bet is to start-off with the home based players. But the foreign based/foreign born players should also be approached for them to know they are also part of the process.

We start camping with the home based and if any of the foreign players are available and good enough to make the team we line them for the qualifiers.

Humility017:

that should be after the world cup....
for now....nancho and Simon can do the job..

CaptainStephen:
Ndidi should also be saddled with direct freekicks from 35 yards, the boy rocket luncher leg must not waste

Icon79:
For the pen, it gotta VicMo for me. Let's hope that Mikel doesn't decide to pull the captain's card tho


O pari

AIG07:
rightly said.

That guy has enough power in his leg to launch a missile.

I hope his shots doesn't break anyones hand this time around. That Onazi own na die too.

Humility017:


I have always know that nancho and Moses Simon can do better wit free kicks...the dead balls Moses got to play against Cameroon....could have been well converted had it been it was left for nancho/S Moses to play....

I remember Simon made a good use of one against swaziland and nancho against Argentina...

CaptainStephen:
exactly he could hit the type Alex used to score for Chelsea then.

Loogan:


That's the problem! Why do you judge he isn't good enough for the league? In other words the others like di Maria, depay, cuadrado who are proving themselves in other top leagues are not good enough for the Top level football?. The problem is when you say some detrimental things about our players you forget the players you clamour for are either out of our reach or not up to standard to what we have in the SE. Bros football doesn't end in England, personally Germany , Italy, Spain have a better football education than this English league your shouting. The only thing making the EPL relevant is the star players, top class managers, media coverage and the intensity. asides that what is the noise?
Musa wasent given games, I'm suprised you come out and say he dosent measure up, in little to no game time he scored a few. Then when a player leaves a club it doesn't mean that's the end of the world, he would carry the knowledge he got in England and become a better player in Russia. Except you want to come up with your numerous ridiculous theories where you say "the championship is better than the Russian league, Dutch league etc". No knowledge is wasted, your not even happy he's playing your complaining he couldn't make it in a league where he wasent given a chance.
Oga you are why a lot Europeans have no respect for us. You never have an idea of ur own, you feel they(Europeans) they are better than us in everything. psychological you are been brainwashed and you see no wrong in it. then you try justify yourself when ever you are called out for bringing down your OWN! In other words you a bad ass "ass licker".
I know Nigerian is mediocre, but remember where you are from! pulling us down would not change anything.
You say some reasonable things but because of the predisposition I have on you, I don't even read what you say no matter how informative.
I though the essence of learning in another country is to come impact your country positively.

Icon4s:


Why did u mention the EPL last?

You should have put it as first on that your list.

komekn:


Depay
De Maria
Falcao
Jo
Soldado

All these players simply couldn't cut it in the EPL and left and did reasonably well in other leagues. Musa is not alone, there are too many who had to find less competitive leagues to play in.

However, it tells you the competitive outstanding quality of the EPL. And for those who say I am biased, I ask the question which league has the highest number of clubs in the last 16 in the Champions league.

I am watching currently Liverpool flogging the cream of the Portuguese league Porto at home 4-0 with 15 minutes to go.

I rest my case.

Joebie:
Okay sir.. My issue with you is you expect people to defend you.. This is just a forum. Your expectation here is really high.. maybe because you named the thread.. You see the people here as a family.. that's a fine thing.. but how many of us here have you met...

Even the man who built this successful site, don't have high such expectation of it's use, so long as he smiles to the bank. Someone very close to me (I won't say who, because I hardly reveal any details about myself online) who happens to know this man always tells me something about him.. He comes to the bank (where she works) with slippers. Even if he had a moniker and came to this thread, no one would even know he is that important.

Guys lets just have fun. If you abuse my papa or mama, good for you because that the farthest your wisdom can carry you.

Humility017:

intelligence will always take you to places...but character will keep you on those job...
