Eze spent half of his first Football career season in league 2 England and he is spending the second half of the season in the Championship.


This is his first season in professional football.

Such player needs to be monitored for some time before you begin to clamor for him, so that he doesn't disappoints you but unfortunately, I have not really being following players these days save for the ones I think can add value to the team going to the world Cup.

Eze is just coming up. He has not done better than Onomah in anywhere.

However, I don't mind he is given a chance but I think it should be after the world cup because I don't think he's ahead of Abdul Ajagun, Sone Aluko and even Josh Onomah currently.

I hope somebody understands. Thank you.

SerVik:

Simple. Eze didn't do us shakara. He has willingly trained with the Eagles before.

So, the Uduokhai he is comfortably clamouring for, is not doing us shakara?

Please, come up with another thing.

How many professional seasons did Raba Maja and Joel Asoro play before u started clamoring for them?

Lol we don't forget easily bro

Watching Martin's in the ACL, won a pK but got injured in the 22nd minutes.

So wats the extent of the injury?, does it seem serious?

daveP:
Lemme hop in here.


I'm glad you mentioned Benzema...


Ighalo has never, and I cant smell him doing or playing the kind of striker role that KB does for Madrid.


Why?

Cos on top of creating very vital chances and drawing players to himself, he has goals too that he worked out himself and then his shot at goal rate, however less successful is far better than what Ighalo does in the GWG.


In fact, so far, Ideye is the closest SE striker by comparism with Benzema and no one else currently.


If Ighalo can increase his shot outside the box and become a household name for it, and his positioning, maybe, just maybe I can start comparing.


They are far different in style. Ighalo loves danger play in the opposite box and it's not been fruitful so far.

Most times KB is not even in the box when Madrid attacks, always somewhere in midfield, but gbam, he scores and you wonder how he got there so far unnoticed.


He however has many missed chances than Ighalo would ever have in his career if he prolonged it for another 50years of play, and that's why KB gets me pissed off.

U do know that Benzema has 5 league goals in 24 games this season right?

Humility017:

you think we are going to Russia to go make up the numbers...
which serious team will go wit strikers with positioning and finishing prowess?

This positioning thing is just so funny because it is completely baseless and untrue. Create chances first then we can talk.

COOL10:
. This is the same mentality the English used in grabbing our players,thereby caging them and putting their international futures on a standstill. Just look at Tammy and the rest. Now what if Eze is capped by Nigeria and the same thing happens to him? What if he plays just one game for us and doesn't get to play again just because we were too impatient and fast to get him on our side. What happens then? Sometimes we should learn to be unselfish and also think of the players. If picking Scotland over us will favour him better and get him more games,I'm okay with that. It might not be good for the SE team but his own success and happiness should also be thought of at some point because he's a Nigerian and we all should wish him the best.

Trust me, If i did not think he had a future with Nigeria, i will not even suggest capping him.

He has a future with the super eagles even right now if given a chance. We lack midfielders with the flair and technique, he is already showing. He could be the answer to when Mikel is absent, already.

Scoring in La Liga? I think you meant in the MLS.

Actually, Martins was in top form at that time and deserved to make that team but Keshi had other ideas. Having said that, right now, I don't think we need Martins. He can be scoring in the moon if he likes

I remember Martins was scoring in La liga but when he was invited under Keshi, he did not play well at all that day.. Very disappointing..

Rohr combs Europe for strikers

Apparently not satisfied with the performance of his players against Serbia last Tuesday, the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr has vowed to get prolific strikers that would deliver at this year’s World Cup.

The Eagles, after labouring to beat Poland 1-0 on March 23rd, 2018, the team played below expectation in the next match against Serbia at the Barnet Stadium in England four days later. Rohr has since spread his dragnet to search for potent strikers and unique players that could transform his team to a world beater.

In a chat with NationSport when asked if he was looking for prolific strikers that can score goals more easily for the Eagles, Rohr disclosed that he has put the machinery in motion to upgrade all the departments of his team in readiness for the 2018 World Cup

“We are still ready to take someone really stronger than those players we have. Each weekend we are monitoring a lot of players with our
scouting team”, the Franco- German football tactician replied.

I love this. Good job Rohr. Focus on that goalkeeping, midfield and striking departments PLEASE

Lol.... Then that is practically focusing on the "whole team" Na only defence you omit.

Nice to see you again Sir Nachi...

Are you guys buying this fake news? Listen, Rohr already knows 99% of his team. Hence, he's not combing anywhere for strikers. If you said goalkeeping, then I will say probably but, right now, any new player who makes the World Cup team has to be an exceptional talent. And we don't have such players right now who isn't already in the team.

Onyekuru is back in Anderlecht.. Hopefully he can get a few games and get back into good shape.

Samuel Kalu and Esiti make the Belgian team of the week.

No commentary so can't say, but he was stretched out, meaning it [b]might [/b]be severe.

I quoted goalkeeping because, I saw Uzoho's school boy errors and the way he was jumping like fish before that first goal against Serbia which remided me of one Greg Etafia if you still remember? He played in a South African club. Ezenwa, we can manage but Akpeyi is no go area. Why not try out Maduka from the German league?

The defense were overstretched due to poor midfield but Awaziem no try cha cha. I thought Ebuehi could do better but thank God we have Shehu Abdullahi in case

Midfield was without class even with Ndidi and Joel Obi. Ogu only get big body but no skill. I prefer Iwobi in midfield with Ndidi (the sweeper). Join them with Noah BAZEE and Jordan IBE (both at the wings) and you'll see class (in the absence of Mikel and VicMoses)

Do you appreciate Ighalo's play? Because I DONT. Ahmed Musa.... no comment. Iheanacho's absence was felt. Or better still try Samuel Kalu.

Happy Easter to you Mr Supernerd. Glad to have you back from exile. (lol... just kidding)

Awaziem had less blame than Ekong for the goals.

Uzoho is still young and will get better. WC might be too early.

Mr O pari. I get you clearly but if the team that played Serbia faces Iceland, we will be flogged badly. I understand your worries but Rohr understands that Nigerian mentality which says WIN AT ALL COST. He is doing all last minute arrangement to perfect his team, lets allow him scout for more players. We still have DRCongo, England, Czech Rep and another country to face. Allow the man to sharpen his side. The NFF are dangling 'world cup carrots' at foreign born talents. Lets allow him

If so why is he considered a legend in Granada? Benzema is a prime example of a striker who does other things right apart from scoring. The fact is if u do the right things the goals will always come.

To be fair, he mainly scored for them in the Segunda. Ighalo link up and playmaking skills isn't anything close to Benzema. If we wanted someone who would help the team and link up with the wingers, then why not take Ideye as 3rd choice?? Better target man and links up well with Nacho.

One to keep an eye on...

SUPERB SAKA CAN FOLLOW MAITLAND-NILES’ PATH INTO ARSENAL FIRST-TEAM

It was at Easter five years ago when Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ vast potential first became apparent to a wide audience as he featured as a schoolboy against Chelsea in the semi-finals of the NextGen Series.

This Easter it was the turn of another schoolboy, Bukayo Saka, to demonstrate his ability, with the Hale End product coming off the bench to hit a brace against Manchester United and help Arsenal to progress to the final of the Dallas Cup.

Arsenal may have ultimately been unable to win the prestigious competition, but Saka’s reputation was certainly enhanced further still as a consequence of the performances that he produced in the United States, even if he was often deployed as a substitute.

Saka is still a schoolboy yet he has been one of Arsenal’s standout performers at U18 level this campaign, playing a major part in the run to the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup, while scoring six goals and providing three assists in the league.

Fast, skillful, fearless and direct, Saka’s performances at youth level this season have been reminiscent of the displays that Maitland-Niles produced when he was a winger at youth level.

They aren’t exactly in the same mould – Saka tends to operate on the left flank, while Maitland-Niles was often deployed on the right – but their playing styles are remarkably similar.

Another aspect of their game that Saka and Maitland-Niles have in common is that they can both feature in defence as well as on the wing.

Saka has frequently been used as a left-back for England at youth level and it will be intriguing to see where he eventually ends up, although given his qualities in an attacking sense it would be something of a shame if he was to be converted into a defender on a full-time basis.

Although he still has some way to go to reach the first-team, Saka is certainly capable of reaching that level if he follows Maitland-Niles by working extremely hard and making the most of the qualities that he possesses.

Maitland-Niles gained valuable experience on loan at Ipswich Town two seasons ago and had to be patient before eventually becoming increasingly involved with the first-team this campaign.

For Saka, the aim now will be to push on and develop further. He will be a full-time scholar from next season and it is anticipated that he will quickly establish himself in the U23 set-up.

From there he will hope to train with the first-team on several occasions and his aim in the long term will be to join Maitland-Niles, a player he bears a striking resemblance to, in the senior squad.

Guy you just made much sense. Naija has a very competitive team. I'm not even thinking Aina may have a very flourishing SE career. It may be erratic cos most of his competirions are around his same age

How many attacking midfielders do you have in your team?

If he can perform for Nigeria? Has he not performed for us? His goals for us can't be forgotten including the Kenya game.

tbaba1234:


Some of our past selections have been questionable to say the least.

I do not mind Martins if he can perform for Nigeria.

First of all, the team that played against Serbia is NOT going to play against Serbia. That team is technically our B-team missing more than 4 crucial players: John Obi Mikel; Leon Balogun; Kelechi Iheanacho; Shehu Abdullahi; and a fully fit Tyronne Ebuehi.

Secondly, I believe that our team list (World Cup list) is due to FIFA the day after England's friendly. No?
If so, then what time do we have to test any brand new players?
