That Tomori kid is ready. I believe we should move in on him soon. Fikayo Tomori also identifies with us through Ola Aina thanks to their time together at Hull last season.
Also, Philip Billing for sure. He already sent us a kinda signal by wishing our team the best in Russia. We must not miss out in him.

On Solanke, I hope we can get him. Really don't know where we are on his case.

On Tammy, well you know the story.

On others, Lookman... Get him in by all f**king means! Abeg!
Onomah Josh... Chaaaiii... We cannot lose this kid too. Same with Ovie Ejaria.

On other Naija foreign-borns outside the UK, Arnaut Groeneveld Danjuma is also there for the taking... Noah okafor too.
All these are off the top of my head, I have a full list of these guys.

We need to increase our pool of quality talents across all departments of the team with time Post-Russia.

We must also not forget the likes of Samuel Kalu, Peter Olayinka, Dennis Bonaventure, Samuel Adegbenro, Paul Onuachu Ebere, etc who belong to Naija players who are non-foreign borns.

It is all about time and action (Super proactive action). We will get there. This generation is still emerging. We are not the finished article just yet. Give it time.


menh Bleep all Dis yeye foreign based players wat makes u think DAT all dis foreign guys are beta Dan d ones DAT play home here.did naija mentality DAT everything produced abroad is good howfar had it gotten us
must we always rely on other countries to develop talents for us and send it back to us why cant they come to d streets schools leagues and check out all dis people DAT have crazy talents here just no opportunity to test dem
I dn taya for all dis oyibo people same shit every year
our best world cup squad ever were mostly from d local scene even at this world cup our best player so far etebo was brought up from warri wolves before he went abroad doesnt DAT tell u something?

Na lie. Iwobi was never the first choice ahead of Simon Moses from the start of the qualifiers before or after Rohr came. Fact

Look at the snapshot of both players.

1.Iwobi stats showed he was on the bench against Swaziland while Simon Moses played both legs. He didn't start against Zambia in the second leg which was a very crucial match.

2. Simon Moses stats showed he started all the matches after and before Rohr came if available. The only matches he didn't play was against Algeria.

Looking at the stats, Moses Simon is not behind Iwobi in the National team. Fact





Tell them how good Moses Simon is.

I think he almost played all the qualifiers.

If not injury I think he will start at the World Cup,iwobi will be pushed to the attacking midfield

John Fashanu Advises Rohr : Go And Find More Victor Moses' In The English Premier League

Published: June 19, 2018

Wimbledon legend John Fashanu has noted that the Nigeria squad at the 2018 World Cup is not balanced as they have too many youthful and inexperienced players which could lead to their downfall during the tournament.

The former England international has advised Gernot Rohr to go in search of more Victor Moses to bolster his squad after the World Cup, if he remains the coach of the national team, adding that there are some players of Nigerian descent plying their trade in the English Premier League the manager is unaware of.

Fashanu has expressed regret that he chose to represent England internationally over Nigeria, and has advised the likes of Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori, Dominic Solanke and Philip Billing not to follow in his footsteps.

''Even myself, I had the opportunity, sadly I couldn't get the opportunity as much as I wanted to play for Nigeria, so I opted to play for England, became the first Nigerian to play for England which is great,'' Fashanu told Channels Television.

''Now we are trying to persuade many of our players who are abroad to come back home and play for their fatherland. The mistakes that we elders made have gone and past, now let's start building.

''It is not enough to get Victor Moses and maybe Mikel Obi, we need a few more solid, older experienced players.

''Obviously, Victor Moses is an all-rounder, there is nothing he can't do, as long as that is the first name any manager should start up with, obviously Mikel Obi because he is experienced.

''That is our captain, he is an experienced man, he has played over the world, he knows what he is doing but we need more.''

Fashanu continued : ''We have them everywhere, it was difficult for people to know John Fashanu was a Nigerian when I was playing in England.

''We have wonderful players playing in the English Premier League who are of Nigerian descent. It is for the coach to do his work, go and find these players.

''The English Premier League and playing in Europe gives you an experience you cannot find anywhere else.

''Playing against Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham is different from playing in the local league, so it gives you an advantage. It is for the coach to go out there and start looking, so we have a nice balance.''

Brian Idowu, William Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun and Tyronne Ebuehi are the foreign-born players in the Nigeria squad for the 2018 World Cup.

John if you are truly as patriotic as u pretend to be, then you are in the best position to bring this boys as someone who has been there before and someone who started that silly trend.

Mbaye Niang is everything Vicmo thought he was. That guy is truly a lion, he moves his body like Simmy, Chai if only Simmy was half as good.

I hope our full backs saw this match to see how those little boys were bombing forward, yet defending with grit.



Senegal really made me proud from the defense to the midfield and the attack, they were simply superb. Boys played with passion and the hunger for success in them was so vissible.

We made this same Poland team look world class when we played them in the friendly, but Senegal just dumped them to where they truly belong, right before our very eyes.


Oh Rohr why?

You made no point.

Senegal won Poland and I am happy,but sorry eagles didn't made this Poland look world class.

Victor Moses might be playing Badly but don't compare him to mbaye Niang.

Mbaye niang is yet to fulfill his potential he should thank the Senegal coach cisse for giving him the chance because he has always wanted to play for France.

I repeat my self once again you made no point.

How many minute have you seen simmy played that he is not half good ?

Today Salah will start a match after he was out for weeks.

Now, what stops Rohr from keeping Simon Moses in the team when he knew by this time he will be 100% fit?

Or why didn't he bring in one of those fit and inform wingers from the Belgium pro league?

Anyway, We know Simon Moses is FULLY FIT now.
We truly don't have a coach

My broda no vex jor my mind comot for there.

Willian start the match but willian was not a starter before that game, and you can see that coutinho had to play MD.

What about neymar he played from the flank but you said he will play behind the strker.

not true, willian started there last 6 matches. coutihno played in the left side of tge 4-2-3-1 and willian started in the right just like i told you. neymar is behind jesus, coutihno keep drifting to the middle.

Coutihno even got the goal from that position, i see iwobi just like coutihno, coutihno best position is the middle but we saw he do it for liverpool and now Brazil from there, our player need to perfrom and forget the excuse of playing out of possession

He is not fully fit Egbon. From the day he was adjudged to be carrying a thigh injury (May 27 I think) till June 16, that is 20 days gone. June 17 makes it three weeks out for him. Today is June 19, he cannot possibly just be ready to jump unto the field and play at 100%. Remember his injury duration was put at 3-4 weeks. So he cannot be 100% fully fit but he is getting there.


Also, you mentioned Salah I think in an earlier post. The truth is that I have had Salah's kind of shoulder injury (a dislocation of the shoulder joint) myself and it took me two weeks+ to get my shoulder/arm back to full function. Salah's shoulder injury is not in the same league as Simon's thigh injury.






Ok na.
