realpoacher:Am a fan of KC and have been following the guy since his U-17 days. My problem with his bench warming has been corroborated by Rohr saying he needs more playing time to make the WC. The dude is good but romancing the bench on the eve of the WC is bad for his career. I also emphasized he took his chances whenever called upon by working harder than he used to which his coach also testified to. That's why I stopped the KC debate on this thread cuz I got the answers I needed from the two coaches. |

forgiveness:I don't think there is anything like HG rule but Alaba agent didn't do his home work properly and mind you if Alaba was willing to.play for us nothing stop him. Those that are playing for another country are not the ready to play for us or do you want to say Manuel Akanji was willing cos he has a Father who our called a local bred player who should be his guardian but the boy opted for Switzerland. My point is this throwing opened U 20 to FBs in the name of catching them young should be done in a way that would not affect the home grown,that's why I suggest HG 80% FB 20 or HG 70% FB 30%. |

Kog45: I don't think Oliseh dropped the idea because he realised he is from Benin Republic, it was Ligali who refused to play for Nigeria 'THEN' because he thought he could play for France. As you have rightly said he is Ajase guy from Benin Republic but all Ajase can trace their root from Nigeria and this makes him eligible to play for Nigeria. I agree that the likes of Edward Onaiwu and Maduka Okoye are for the future but I wouldn't mind if we invite Maduka Okoye to the team just to familarize with the team and feel at home. As soon as I saw how Ejide desperately searched for a club then I knew something was fishy. Let us watch out for Alloy Agu and his dirty pranks. |

Okay Great House.... I have read and seen the comments of Boss Joseph1013, Chief Icon4s and even the latest Super OP in Tue person of Sir Joebie. So I will create the threads for the U-17s and U-20s and tag as many as possible, then news drops can begin. Sir Tbaba1234 and Elder Sir Kog45 dropped brilliant contributions just now as regards players we can consider for the U-20s.

How did nothing stop him,?? he wasn't called na... E for just go buy GwG jersey fly himself to camp and join d players??... I dnt believe it will affect our HG development if we pick 90% FB based on merit ND quality. Mind u we have been using HG all this while ND it has not translated into anytin tangible... D quality we parade in u-20 world cups are always not up to d expectations... ND saying dat starting now to integrate FB into d fold will affect grassroots development is not true cos we have been using HG since ND I dnt see much development Kog45: |

Egbon Forgiveness and Elder Sir Kog45.... good thing una dey bring in that guy again. Jonathan Ligali..... I recall I have been talking about him since ages now. Sebi you remember when I used to mention him as an option for us but everything just cooled down. I know that guy is Nigerian despite his Benin rep. links by birth. He was born to Nigerian parents. All the same shaa... do you guys think Rohr will give him a look in? Jonathan Ligali is not a bad option at all. Make we see shaa 1 Like |

The Curious Case Of Junior Ajayi Of Ahly – Recognised By CAF, Feared In Egypt But Ignored In Nigeria One name that strike fear into the mind of opposition defenders when ever they are up against Al-Ahly is Nigerian striker Junior Ajayi. The former Nigeria U23 international took his goal tally for the season to seven for the season with a brace in their 4-2 win over Arab Contractors yesterday night. 22 year old Ajayi has also proven himself to be a good provider of goals for his teammates with nine assist to his name, after his deployment to the left wing at the start of the season. Recognised by the Confederation of African Football ( CAF) as a member of the Team of the Year at the recently concluded CAF Awards, back home the story is different for the former Shooting Stars prospect. Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has options available to him in attack, with the likes of Brown Ideye, Odion Ighalo and Kelechi Iheanacho playing as top striker for Nigeria since his appointment. While upfront might seem loaded for the forward, he will no doubt feel he deserve a chance to fight for a shirt in the team,due to his consistent performance for a team like Al-Ahly adjudged by many as the best team in Africa. Also his ability to play different roles in attack aside playing as the main striker is also another reason why he should at least get a look in ahead of the Super Eagles friendly games in March. One point to note is that, if he were to be an Egyptian, his form will no doubt but him in the frame of a national team call up where he would likely line up in attack alongside Liverpool forward Mohammed Salah. Judging by current form and fitness, it’s hard to argue against him getting a call up. He can’t be feared in Egypt, honoured by CAF while his homeland act like he hasn’t done enough to at least get a look in. **Mohammed Mowiz Suleiman writes in from Kaduna Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2018/02/13/the-curious-case-of-junior-ajayi-of-ahly-recognised-by-caf-feared-in-egypt-but-ignored-in-nigeria/ Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 119 days 7 hours to go 3 Likes |

Kog45: Alaba made it public that he wanted to play for Nigeria but he was told they were only interested in HG. Even after that, he waited for a call-up but Nigeria showed no interest and when Austria came calling, he had no choice. Manuel-akanji always identified himself as Nigerian but Nigeria paid lip services to it. Switzerland who gave him the chance at age grade Football came calling, he had no choice. Dominic Iorfa Jnr, Deji-beyreuther and Dessers have shown the green light to play for Nigeria but as usual NFF is waiting for them to become Super stars before they start given them a look. . Kenneth Otigba made the biggest mistake of his life to have refused to play for Hungary because he wan play for Nigeria. I asked again. What about if 80% of FB have more quality than the 80% HG fighting for the same position, should we drop the 80% FB because we don't want the HG to be affected? What is our priority? Quality or HG? |

Joebie: It's not about his age. It's about where he plays currently. But right now, he is an academy player. We have better options than that. Whether reinforcements happens or not, my studying of human behaviour will not be in vain if I guess right. I have seen them announced the national coaches for more than 10 times. I am still waiting for them to take positions and start working first before I take NFF seriously. Until then, No comment. |

Joebie: Desperate' Austin Ejide wants to represent Eagles in Russia - WORLD CUP 2018 By: Uche Duru | 26/12/2017 Hapoel Hadera goalkeeper, Austin Ejide has said he will work hard and do his best so as to secure a spot in the Super Eagles team that are gearing up for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Ejide 33, last played for the Super Eagles in 2014 in a friendly match between Nigeria and Scotland. Despite playing for in Israel’s second tier, Ejide is sheer hopeful of securing a place in the Super Eagles team heading to Russia next year. “The World Cup? I’ll try my very best until the end of the season,” Ejide told TheCable. “But we’ll just have to wait and see. I’ll give my all, but it’s up to the Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.” Ejide has been named in three FIFA World Cup squads; 2002 in Japan and South Korea, 2010 in South Africa and 2014 in Brazil. http://.com/desperate-austin-ejide-wants-to-represent-eagles-in-russia Now, after reading this, who needs to grow? 2 Likes |

That's what the caption says -- "desperate". But who is not working hard to go the the world cup? Don't the man need to pay his bills as well? He would have still tried to secure a club anyway, world cup or not. Like I've said if he gets a call up, then your position is reinforced. If not, will you drop your claims? bookmark this Modified The growth is in your position held as regards Agu conspiracy.. please take note forgiveness: |

Kog45: There are some EPL academies where Nigerian origin children constitute near 20% across the board. There is no top 10 EPL team without Nigerian origin players. Across the entire academy league system of England there are hundreds if not near thousand of Nigerian origin players cutting across all age groups. But not one selected Hmmmm |

TheSuperNerd: I said it, but Bascovanveli, who prefers to project his " Pure Gold " said it is because he is my boy. Junior Ajayi remains one of our most underrated strikers. It is not every player that I clamor for a national team invite. He deserves at least a place in the 35 man list. I see him as a better prospect than Brown Ideye and Anthony Nwakaeme. His profile has continued to rise and I see him moving to Europe pretty soon. He obviously is one for the future even if he doesn't make Russia. 3 Likes |

Lucque:My man i think U 17 is purely meant for homegrown players and as at that time it will take a third eyes to consider Alaba for our U 17 team and i want you to read Alaba interview,he laid more emphasis on his agent cos thet went through third party who was not even member of NFF who told them that it was was meant for homegrown and they didn't push further,so not anybody's fault. Oh 90% FB for under age then better to relocate NFF secretariat to UK or Germany meaning our grassroots development programs is useless. Pls we don't need to argue this much cos what we are saying is simple,the bedrock of any serious football nationa is grassroots,but you want us to shifts it to foreign land in the name of FBs. Apart from missing out on Alaba David,Ali Dele and of recent Manuel Akanji,pls tell me any FBs that will regret not having in our national teams. I don't think it's ideal to have full FBs in underage team and I know NFF would not be foolish to adopt such approach, better to have few talented ones not mediocre FBs and mixed it with what we have on ground. I will never agreed with you that underage team have not brought any good thingto Nigeria football, pls go back to history and you will agreed with me that our under age teams are always solids,forget that will missed out recently. |

Truly he is having good performance at Egyptian league and making CAF team but what would you say having Ideye,Nwakaeme even Kayode in Egypt league, pls consider this factor.

The question of FB for flying Eagles is a tricky one. Spending scarce resources in terms of flight tickets and logistics for players all over Europe to turn up for an U20 or U17 camping is something many might not see as a wise pursuit. It doesn't only affect Foreign borns. Sometimes even homegrown talents that moved abroad are excluded from qualifiers for this same reason. Coaches then make do with the available homebased players. By the time these set of players qualify for the world cup, they'd have gained some level of chemistry and camaraderie, so much so that it becomes difficult to drop these players for the foreign based and dual nationals. Injection of new players into these set is therefore not wholesome, as very few new additions are made. That is why a player like iheanacho, even with his exploits at the U17 and man city, was still made to sit on the bench for a homebased player at the world cup. 5 Likes |
