eterisan: Was going to the world Cup the point you raised? As you can see from the bolded, the cruse of the matter was Nwakali making the 35 manlist. So, don't digress from the koko. After naming it, you tried to call me names just st because you saw Ajagun and you even went ahead trying to justify it by claiming I added Eze just because I dont want to be tagged as tribalist but I proved you wrong by showing you your previous post that demanded I should also name a player abroad. What a shame! eterisan: As you can see, it was about making the list based on merit and not on your first to third points. They are irrelevant in this discussion in the first place because they were never the bone of contention. It was never about age but the merit of making the 35 man list. Now, why is Ajagun old washed up player and why is he too old enough to make the list? Why did you disdain Ajagun in such manner yet you didn't tell us why older players and his age mates are in the team? You haven't answered my question. 7 Likes |

somehow:In that case, I think one of Etebo or Joel Obi will be dropped because the coach ‘loves’ Mikel Agu. As we know, Iwobi can also be used as the AM if need be. |

Ndidi did not train with the team, he continued his light exercises. Simon Moses went for a scan and did not train. Ola Aina was also on the sidelines at the start of the team A vs Team B but came in as a sub for Elderson in team B.. One of them will be dropped, it seems. 5 Likes |

Loving Agu is not enough to take him ahead of more established players except he wants issues with the NFF. Etebo na pinnick boy. If he so much love Agu, how come he used him sparingly during qualifiers? PDPGuy: 1 Like |

ACLsports recap of training To Recap: After initial warm up with the team Wilfred Ndidi trained alone. He had a bit of physio on the sideline on that hamstring. Will be a surprise if he plays vs England. Moses Simon arrived with the team BUT did NOT train. Went in to have a scan with at the Barnet FC medical facility. Ola Aina did not train with the team at the start but later came on to replace Elderson Echiejile. Victor Moses and John Mikel Obi trained fully. Oghene Etebor looked really, really sharp. Tomorrow's training will be at Wembley Stadium 6 Likes |

eterisan: All of them are far higher in rating and ability than Nwakali, by the way i have talked to all of them and the willingness to play for Nigeria is not in question but our approach is. I could bring in a lot more but just those for now, but that's not my focus but rather the system of selection that enthrones subjective favoritism over objective proven performance. In reality Tega, Sei and Ovie are way far ahead they are not just future prospects but current top performers, they have all played a few games for their parent teams in the EPL a feat that is very far away if not near impossible for Nwakali in Arsenal as it stands. The Eredivisie is rated 14th in Europe by UEFA it would therefore not be without credence to rate the Eerste Divisie as way below the Championship more on par with National conference and or league 2. In reality we can look at players in the lower leagues to make comparison who i consider much better. Eberechi Eze - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5662421/QPR-striker-Eberechi-Eze-worth-keeping-eye-spring-life-instant.html The issue is not future prospects that is for the U17 at age 20 you are not proving prospects you are showing it , something Nwakali has failed to do at club level. Dismissing Aluko is to miss the point we are looking at players irrespective of age who can be prospective players for the SE that can bring quality. In this regard is Nwakali currently better than Hope Akpan ? he is playing at far higher level and getting recognition No he is not. Our quality bar has dropped and so we can now look at outstanding talents in lower leagues because we have limited quality players as it stands. Finally , you call Nwakali best future prospect , but you base it on ABSOLUTELY NOTHING just sentiment, state his stats, present continuous that make him a future prospect. In my last two posts i gave you countless examples of supposed future prospects in English football that TOTALLY FLOPPED, that cost way more money than Nwakali, you have chosen to completely ignore these substantiated facts. Instead you are making irreverent comments without substance, just sentiment to buttress your position. Why not humble yourself and learn and become enlightened. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I think Ogu might be dropped. It looks like Joel Obi is the preferred choice in the absence of Ndidi. That means that the last midfield slot goes to Agu or Ogu. 4 Likes |

Icon4s:We are discussing the tactical formations posted by Joebie nawww. However you seem concerned with pressing the point that Iwobi is a starter. That's not an issue to me in the light of the possibility that Simon might not make the cut, my concern is the effectiveness for Iwobi. And thank God many esteemed posters here agree that Iwobi is flat out ineffective on the wings. And interestingly the coach too is seeing it hence his trying out Iwobi an AM or ten in the last friendly. 4 Likes |

Icon4s: If Ogu plays little or no part in the England friendly and Agu plays a part, then i think Ogu will be dropped. Agu played pretty well against DRC when he came on and he appears to be doing well in training according to reports. It is not as clear cut. 1 Like |

komekn: We are not likely to start Ighalo and Simy together. They are both natural CF. Under a 4-4-2 formation in addition to the CF you play a supporting striker that can easily fall deep into the midfield to get balls and also easily joins the attack when on the offensive. That description fits Iheanacho. We may only play Ighalo and Simi together if we are chasing a game and the coach decides to throw in all his dice. In this case a midfielder or defender may likely be sacrificed for the extra CF to be thrown in. |
