edi287:I hate reading about this link up play... we are talking of strikers scoring goals....and here you are sir...you're talking of ideye. even keshi acknowledged the reason for leaving him out of 2014 world cup..because the team need to score goals... Ighalo is not a better striker...because he is not a potent goal scorer.... for now...I will want umar and dessers to ne tried....and let's see what they have to offer in training.....both i believe to be a better finisher that both...we need someone that can be at least lethal in front of goals.... 2 Likes |

isan:Yes,pls try and watch Finidi debutant match against Burkina Faso and Oliseh first match against Ethiopia then you will agree that they are great passer,very unfortunately we don't have such player with such attributes,may be Mikel,Ndidi just need to work on his passes both short and long to equate Oliseh. |

Humility017:We are in need of someone that link midfield with attack i.e creativity. We have Iheanacho who is one of the best finishers around. Creativity without Mikel is the main issue we have. 2 Likes |

tbaba1234:Umar name popped up because some feel we need someone with hold up play correct?? I'm sorry if I'm a coach, the only reason I'd pick him over Ideye at the moment is that he has a greater upside. If we were to pick who I expect to perform better in a tournament, I'd pick Ideye no doubt. Ideye is more similar to Deeney than Ighalo in my honest opinion. Ideye can hold the ball up better than Ighalo. Both can play together. 1 Like |

komekn: How can you say that he will flop in league one when he has not played in league? You are exaggerating things a little bit sir I'm not calling for Umar's immediate inclusion though but I think you should stop exaggerating league one because of few good lads. It is easy to understand that in all lowly rated leagues, you do find a star (not like Lookman at the moment) 2 Likes |

tbaba1234: What defender did he take ? Are you suggesting or you watch him play or you even saw his stats ? Someone that was not given chance to play so when did he take on defenders ? He managed 7 match in bologna for a full season and no goals,in Torino only 3 match in a half season? That chance is not enough to take on defenders or even get a goal And times I m surprised by this thread by the caliber of players you will call to be invited,son because at nac Breda 3 goals in 5 matches he should be included? 1 Like |

Martz101:Please don't provoke me ooo. What is this sacrilege you just wrote? Oliseh not good in passing? Oliseh was a master of telegraphic, long range passes. He fed Yekini so many through passes. I remember then way back when I was still in junior secondary school, I read in complete sports or so when Oliseh was playing in Juventus (I am not sure now but I know it was when he was in Italy) the coach said the reason he loved Oliseh was that he doesn't just kick the ball, he passes it.

andrew444:There is one thing that keep on baffling me here,double standard, just checked Umar Sadiq professional record so far,really surprised that some believe he has something to offer than Ideye and funny enough better than Ighalo?fallacies Cyril Dessers started his professional career in Belgium with a lowly club where he had good youth football before moving to Lokeren with 25 appearance with no goal for two season and moved to Nec breda in dutch division two with awesome performance and snapped up by Utrecht, but so far couldn't tie a regular shirt though 7 goals in 17 appearance but some believe he is the answer,no issue he can be a good option. But telling me Ajagun at 25 has passed his prime but Dessers at 25 still has a lot to offer,why double standard in passing comments on our bona fide players who are doing well. 2 Likes |

While the argument can be made that Umar has improved, Ajagun has been quite consistent and I would support his inclusion in the 35 man list as well. The question should be who are his competition, and can he give them a good fight? It will definitely raise the standard in camp irrespective of whether he makes the final cut or not. Umar will bring good competition as well. Onyekuru will. Dessers might. Modified And we need to focus on recent form in our discussion, unless of course a player can borrow his form of 5 years ago.

Martz101:Pls go and watch Oliseh vs Ethiopia. Oliseh performance in that match threw Friday Ekpo another great passer out of eagles. I'm seeing Ndidi in class of Oliseh but still need to work on his passes to equate Oliseh even legendary Muda Lawal. |

edi287: Umar's name popped up because of his current form... Much of what has been spoken about Umar has been the fact that he brings a different dimension and is not more of the same. Most of the people talking about Umar have not watched him play recently. |

Mujtahida:Thank you,I don't know why we keep on deceiving ourselves cos i don't see any striker out there better than Nacho and Ighalo for now but instead for us to address the main issue which is our midfield we keep on hammering our strikers,forgetting that what happened against Poland and Serbia happened against South Africa and someone was missing which is Mikel and instead of addressing the issue we are suggesting strikers and where are the strikers? 1 Like |

andrew444: He has always taken on defenders, that is his style.. This boy is 21 so he is still improving.. He has barely had opportunities. None of those 7 games in Bologna were up to 90 mins. He was brought on as a sub for each of those games. Sometimes a player needs a run of games to show their ability. He has 4 goals and 3 assists in 8 games so far in Breda and been influential in winning dangerous set-pieces for his team. That said, the WC might be too close but i certainly see Umar as the future number 9 amongst all the other prospects. |
