Well you said 'I do not know' I think as CB some years ago Omeruo was better than Efe.

Omeruo is the least rated CB after Agbo in eagles presently but i don't see Efe Ambrose beating him to it then to talk of Balogun and Ekong.

I still rate Omeruo ahead of Ambrose.

I simply cannot not say with any conviction that Omeruo is better than Efe.

Both are playing in let's say backwater leagues. Efe however is a stand out player in the Scottish league. Omeruo is not the stand out player in the Turkish league.

Omeruo of past was unable to make a name for himself in the championship. Efe of current is wanted by both EPL clubs and Championship clubs Omeruo is not.

Until Efe plays for the SE we can not answer that question conclusively. My view is that the pool of talent we are fishing in is way too limited.

Well on Obagoal,am one of the school of thoughts who believe we have seen enough of him but if player like Nwakaeme deserves a call then Obafemi too should be considered but everything depends on Rohr.

It's not everybody that Chinese clubs buy and pay stupendously huge amounts if money. They still want quality for thier money.

Nwakaeme will remain in the Isreali league and is going nowhere fast.

We have youth players who had barely played one hour of senior football in thier careers. But were invited to the SE party.

If Obagoal wants to come to the EPL today he will find willing suitors. I can not say the same for a lot of our players.

Kai is it another Ejide or the same Austin Ejide, wahala dey o,this guy was clubless just got a club in Isreal and funny enough division two and we have another experience keeper in Dele Aiyenugba doing it for many years in Isreali top league even till dates,but nobody reckon with him.

The only advantage Ejide had over Aiyenugba is height,nothing more better to throw in Francis Uzoho than recalling Ejide cos throughout his career in eagles he wasn't convincing enough to warrant all these accolades.

I think his agent is working hard for him to be included in WC team.

Ejide was already finished in 2014. 4 years later, i really do not see the value

Omeruo is better than Efe.

I admit to a handicap my view of Omeruo is outdated. I watched him regularly in the championship and he was just OK. I have watched very few recent games

He has gone to the Turkish league and he is not the among the most outstanding defenders in that league.

However, Efe is the or among the top defenders in his league. Considering that the most expensive defender in the World a few seasons ago was playing for Celtic in the Scottish league. The league can not be totally dismissed as very poor.

Of course he was right to give Enyeama conditions in the first place. Enyeama did not meet it during the transfer window, so for me, this was expected...

Match fit is the emphasis here.

Even Ezenwa will have to start getting game time ahead of his contemporaries at the club level.

We have to make do with the available. Aiyenugba should at least get a look in.

CC:icon4s.

Pls say something on this cos it seems Rohr is right,.

If we want to go by Rohr submission only Akpeyi worth included in the team or is he telling us better to be keeping in division three and regional league than wallowing on the bench in first team.

I think is better for keeper like Alampasu to go back to fareinse youth team or else he should forget WC.

Rohr statement is cleared regards goalkeepers,just be playing week in week out cos if not why considering goalkeepers at very lower league like regional league.

Omeruo has played well this season especially since the turn of the year.

Efe even at his best was prone to several errors.

Which EPL club want to sign EFE AMBROSE ? Paste the link of the current news not old news, EFE is no more a stand out player in Scotland,he had to be loaned to Scottish division 2 to get playing time before the team gain promotion and they are in Scottish league,the team is Hibernian

Well, I haven't watched Austin play recently but if it's still the same Austin Ejide then I will vote for his recall. I had actually enquired about him a few months ago but I was informed that he and Emmanuel Daniel were currently clubless. But is currently playing active football then he deserves a look in. He's head and shoulders above what we currently parade as goalkeepers.


O pari

O pari master,pls can you pinpoint any solid performance from Austin Ejide in eagles colours.

Did you know Akpeyi always remind me of Ejide cos they almost shared the same attributes,shaking in goalposts especially in eagles jersey.

Hope you remember he is an injury prone keeper mostly with muscle tear and difficult for him to have three matches in a row though he had four at 2008 afcon

Did you know injuries contributed to his contract termination and clubless for more than two years but now in division two.

But the big question is Ejide that solid that we can close our eyes on other keepers cos in Isreali league Dele Aiyenugba is far rated than him.

I think better for Rohr to take inactive fit Enyeama over just two months active Ejide.

Uzoho takes my vote in upcoming friendlies.

Efe was a defensive RB when he use to play that position, this limits attacking play cos you can't really use him as an outlet to open any defence up..too be honest he was just ok, nothing special the way he played it..he just helped the defense be more compact..

Shehu/Ebuehi is what a real RB should be doing.

I am more relaxed concerning the Plateau game (although they play a strong side) because they have quite a tactical coach, but MFM on the other hand need to convert their chances at home (force a lot of set pieces to come forth)
But I reckon barring juju and territorial forces all 4 teams should be in the group stages(possibly all 4 CafCC grin)

I think Ejide actually acquainted himself very well when he was selected ahead of Enyeama (by ... was it Berti Vogts) to start at the AFCON. Based on that tourney alone, I will rate him much higher than Akpeyi and Ezenwa for sure. However, I haven't watched him a very long time so I can't say that he's still the same keeper.

As regards to Dele Aiyenugba, I will rate him ahead of Akpeyi and Ezenwa as well. I wonder why he hasn't received an invite. But abeg, don't talk about taking inactive Enyeama to the World Cup. That would spell our doom. Have you forgotten what the inactive Peter Rufia did to us at France '98?

I don't agree at all. Efe has been to the world cup and he is still playing at a highly professional level, there is no way we can be sure that any of the players mentioned are better than him. He plays week in week out like they do and I have not seen anything so special for me to say they are clear cut better than Efe who has done well to prove his doubters wrong since he moved to his current club.

It's baffling that Dele Aiyenugba is being neglected till now?! Let's be frank, we can't compare any of the mentioned Keepers with Dele, and the only Keeper I can rate ahead of him is Enyeama.

Dele really deserves a Call up more than any of the young Keepers Dudes are mentioning here; except Alloy Agu or whoever in charge is being sentimental, it won't be a Crime if Dele is invited and tried out in the next Month Friendlies.

Are we talking about taking Rookies to the World Cup? None of them can ever be on the same Level with Dele, except we are overlooking Experience for Favoritism.

I was just tired when I saw that write up.
Even If we should consider any aged goalkeeper aside Vincent the person should be Dele aiyenugba.
And if Ejide make the team lists Nko?

Agent work.. Hope they won't fall for it cos this guy has been inactive for months before getting one club in Israel and we don't even know his current status.
Just tired to be sincere...

That's my question but it seems Enyeama is not even keen cos Colins Udoh and Peterside Idah said Enyeama is not coming back sometimes ago.

My question,what does Rohr mean by INACTIVITY?is he saying a keeper in main team and not commanding starting shirt is inactive and not better than youth keeper keeping in division three or four.

I think if we want to go by activity then Akpeyi is sure banker for WC even Ezenwa is always in and out but thanks to WC qualifiers appearance,Uzoho too is very active but in youth league, Ajiboye too very active but not in Rohr's plan,Maduka active in regional league.

I just hope Rohr get it right cos with this condition of activity i expect Aiyenugba too in camp cos is the most active Nigeria keeper in Europe unless Rohr doesn't know he exists.

Exactly... Dele should make the list..
