Leicester of course, but I wasn't really objective though. Leicester is a mid-table Club sha.
I think good outing at the world cup would boost there chances of getting into big teams in good leagues sha

Case in mind is James' real Madrid move after the world cup

Make people against him sound crazy or the people are actually the ones bothering themselves anyhow against the stand of the coach like the man doesn't know who he wants again? I'm only against those saying he should be dropped and threatening heavens and earth if they see Echiejile in Russia.

How does that sound to you?
junnyjake:


You asked goals that was conceded from his wing, I've given you one.

Echiejile, for a very long time has enjoyed little or no competition at the LB position. Rohr back in 2015 talked to him about making a switch.

We need someone who's good at both defence and attack, Idowu is just fine for that, there's no way he can be worse than Echiejile. I've seen some of his games at his club side. And I know about the already cliched club football is different from national team football.

We didn't miss him at the last WC and please sir, stop making people who are against his making the WC squad sound like crazy people, his experience isn't a beneficial one.

Mandela Egbo makes Bundesliga debut for Monchengladbach
1 hour ago / autty







Mandela Egbo became the latest English youngster to get a taste of Bundesliga action on Saturday when he made his senior debut for Borussia Mönchengladbach away to Hannover.


The 20-year-old, who moved to Germany in summer 2015 from English Premier League side Crystal Palace, came on as an 80th-minute substitute for Dennis Zakaria and helped the Foals hold onto their 1-0 lead to end a run of four consecutive defeats and win for the first time since Matchday 19.


Egbo, described as "a player with huge potential" by club sporting director Max Eberl, has been making good progress in Gladbach's reserve team and was recently included in the first-team squad to face Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 20, although he did not take to the field that time.


The London native is the second English player in the Gladbach squad, alongside on-loan West Ham United defender Reece Oxford, who played the full 90 minutes in the win in Hannover, having made his Bundesliga debut on Matchday 10.


That duo are among an increasing number of talented English youngsters moving to the Bundesliga. Ademola Lookman has already scored and started for RB Leipzig following his winter loan move from Everton, while Jadon Sancho has won plenty of plaudits for his dynamic displays at Borussia Dortmund since swapping Manchester City for the Signal Iduna Park last summer.


Furthermore, Kaylen Hinds left Arsenal to join Wolfsburg in 2017 and is now on loan at Greuther Fürth, while Ryan Kent spent the first half of the season on loan at Freiburg from Liverpool.

Rohr's decisions may not necessarily be foolproof, so I don't think he's reserved the right to be unchallenged when he makes a questionable move.

I and a couple of monikers here came hard on him after the SA game, some of his flaws were just too obvious.

I've clarified it enough with Kanu except you have Issues with the Facts I presented. 194 Caps in 5 Years at Arsenal ain't bad for a Player.
Agreed but you'd be surprised at what the stats say for the other players. Was Everton a top team when Amokachie was there, Frankfurt nko, Betis, Dortmund?

The last black GK I can remember was a Kingston from Ghana at Birmingham.

And I don't think Uzoho has been treated unfairly.

thanks for the clarification...I still felt he has been maltreated by his erstwhile manager who gave the filmsy excuse of him not being able to speak Spanish....as reason for dropping him....
that statement really annoyed me

Barrister...... I trust you won't let it slide without bringing another Player(s) on Board. Guess you ain't taking me as an Accused under cross-examination?!

Amokachi joined Club Brugge at 18, a very top Team and a domineering Force in Belgium. He had 81 Caps and 35 Goals to his Name.

He competed in the new format of the Champions League with the Club, and became the first player to score in the competition, after his goal secured a 1–0 win in the opening match in the group stage against CSKA Moscow.

He won the Belgian Ebony Shoes Award twice, 1992, 1994 while at Club. He also won the Pro League most successful foreign Player Award in 1992 At 20.

He joined Everton in 1994 and won the oldest Trophy in the World - FA Cup - in his first Season. His Exploits at Everton and for Nigeria earned him three 3rd Best Player in Africa Awards Consecutively - 1994, 1995, 1996.

Besiktas has remained quite a Big Club in Turkey till the present Day. He joined the Club and had 77 Caps. Thus Amokachi also had fantastic Stats with Top Teams.

But our situation is a crisis situation. Imagine if we had Enyeama or Ikeme who would be calling for all these other players except as second or third goalies. You guys are pressing the experience point not looking at the full picture of what is confronting us. Akpeyi who has experience out of the trio has proved a disappointment. Ezenwa is erratic. Uzoho should be tested some more. In fact all of them should still be tested.

I have done the analysis here before on this point. It would be too much work for me to do another one again.

Let's take Kanu at Ajax and Inter cos the way you mentioned those clubs is the way someone could mention Vicmo for Chelsea when he wasn't a regular at all. Do you know it was Finidi who was a regular at Ajax not Kanu? And you boldly put Inter there when you and I know Kanu didn't play much for Inter. Do check how many times most of these players played for these clubs.

Your assumption are not indepth and appreciative of club dynamics.

Being in some of these clubs in itself was an achievement, why because they were packed with some of the best players in the world at that time.

Nonetheless, Kanu was not a minor player for Ajax. And in comparison Kanu scored 25 goals compared to Finidi's 18.

In 1998 injury to Shorunmu forced us to go back to Rufai

In 2002 injury to Shorunmu forced Onigbinde to try Enyeama

Enyeama's forceful retirement forced us to get Ikeme

Sickness to Ikeme has forced Ezenwa, Akpeyi, Uzoho on us.

My point is it seems we have established a pattern whereby unless our hand is forced we never really do something about getting new gk. In order words our numbers two and three gks na just wash.

I personally think echiejile will go to the world cup. especially if we intend to play the 3-5-2 formation, If any of the German boys don't show, Elderson might not be valuable to the attack but he sure is a good marker and could play in the left side of the back three with balogun and ekong while either idowu or ebuehi/Aina plays as a left wingback.

Finidi was more regular and pivotal for Ajax than Kanu notwithstanding the goals Kanu scored more than him. No argument. Finidi was a creator of goals not so much a scorer. Even for the Super Eagles he had very few goals.

I have no Issue with Uzoho, but I think he might crash under severe Pressure. I'm ain't saying Dele won't crash either, but his Experience is a big Bonus.

He's playing regularly for his Club, he's good at saving PKs, and his Reflection ain't bad either. It's apparent Rohr would pick between the Five Keepers he mentioned at the BBC Interview, hence I won't mind Uzoho, Ezenwa and Alampasu making the Final Cut.

that will be suicidal. Echiejile that can not run and can't use is right foot to kick the ball is the one you want to start as a LCB in 3 man defence.

As long as any of Toru, Uduokhai and Akpoguma are available, there should be no mention of Efe. Scotland is a backwater league.


I'll ask you a few questions.

Where was the most expensive center back in the world playing before he went to Southampton.

Where was Wanyama one of the best defensive midfielders in the EPL playing before ending up at Tottenham

Which club refused a £50 million offer for thier striker Dembele from Chelsea

Finally which Celtic player was bought by Barcelona to be thier main striker

All from the back water league grin shocked

One advantage this backwater league has is location close to action of the EPL and style of play more suited to the EPL and Championship.
