Very bad news because the best Nigerian player just retired. Who fit wear em shoe?

You mean Victor Moses fire don quench? That is a very big joke you know because ain't true.

Lol best Nigeria player my foot

BascoVanVeli:


Abeg reason me, what do we have now? idowu has not played this season and Aina will have to face the right back position now that Ebuehi is injured. So technically what we have is Echiejile.

Victor Moses retires albeit prematurely but with dignity. What on earth is Echiejile still doing in national team consideration.

I wonder if there are other factors that caused VM to leave the SE. He had chosen to keep quite as opposed to court controversy but opening a can of worms.


I am bewildered.

Goke7:
Victor moses retiring is a welcome development, dude has nothing to offer us anymore. I appreciate his efforts though

That's unguarded Balderdash.

VM has been one of the most consistent players we have had in recent times. Add to that pure quality.

Take out VM we barely have 2/3 players who can match him for quality.

A HUGE LOSS.

My premonition is that there are some things going on behind the scenes and he has decided to leave.

Mickael2:


Enyeama no doubt at all. Mikel arguable but Moses? Wait oga, I hope you know that Osaze is way way better than Moses is or ever will be? Apart from Obasi's injury woes I would say so too, do you think it is easy starting as a winger for Schalke 04?? The only team where VicMo would start as a winger would be a mid table team. Forget the long talk, as at 2010 AFCON na bench VicMo for dey or play as a RB.

gbam

Mickael2:


If Musa is a legend then I guess VicMo is also part of that elite team

oga musa hold a record for goals score by a nigerian at the world cup oya tell me moses own

tbaba1234:
Not really surprised by Moses retirement. I think, he does not get motivated to come for friendlies or games like seychelles. Big games , yes but we have seen him pull out of friendlies.

Wish him the best for the future.

The club and national team contention has cost some players a lot. Particularly quality players who do not require the SE to propel thier careers.


One of the very few TOP QUALITY players in the SE a very big loss. Commitment is not measured by assumption or based on prejudiced ideas or body language that's being superficial.

And in all honesty a complete disrespect to top player who has sacrificed time and effort to play for the SE.

Lets go for lookman if he refused we move on

Oasis007:
I am happy, so much happy, VicMo is retiring from International Football. How i wish Lukman can be convinced to rep the GWG colors.

I am hoping on Onyekuru to wholly fill up the tiny Vacuum he's leaving behind. No big Shoe to fill here, cos he had been serving us Slippers.

Over to Onyekuru to proudly and enthusiastically don the No. 11 Shirt!

Unfortunately like most things in life the value is only truly appreciated when it is gone.

I watched Real Madrid without Ronaldo, I watched Leicester without Kante, Chelsea without Conte, too name just a few.

We currently have pretenders to his throne but no ready made replacement.

We forget so soon
1. Who currently has an experience of top level football like VicMo?
2. Who can take those cool penalties like him?
3. Who can rise up in Africa to score for us?[he was feared by coaches]
4. Who brings that creativity in attack for us?

One thing is certain...he will be replaced...but not now...these guys you are mentioning Onyekuru,Samuel have not really played at high level even in Europe and Africa..,we wait for them..

Oasis007:




Seriously I am elated with the News. Someone that can't displace a Teen at Chelsea, but thinking of himself as CR7 of SE?!

Well...... I wonder how he's gonna break into Sarri starting XI!

Best of Luck to him!

Tell me one current SE player that can displace anybody in the Chelsea team ❓❓ And who is the teen that displaced VM please ❓

Our stalwart in defence was relegated to the U18's to train that's how much respect thay have for his talent.

The disrespect shown to VM is completely uncalled for.

Is it the same Moses that we know?! LMAO! He ain't gonna be missed!

ChrisKels:


My assertion an excrement? U must be a big f00l. Which committed player retires from the national team at his peak age (27) for no just cause? So u think Moses would have called time at this age if he was repping the other nation (England)? Dude was never interested and he is such an opportunist for waiting till the worldcup was over before leaving.

Thank you chriskels.....it was good he left

Chrismario:


We was not the best. Never been our best in any tournament but he was no doubt one of our best

Moses was our best player at AFCON 13. WCQ too.

Has to be. Who retires at 27? There's something he isn't saying.
Trust some very useless and pathetic people on twitter saying it's because he isn't really 27.

AIG07:
Moses' commitment has always been a question! Finally, it is over now. No one should suggest that he comes out of retirement o.

We need to stop pampering these guys. He felt like a god towards the ending of his international career.

I fell among the lots that supported him... Those days are far gone now.

Any player that is under performing, uncommitted to the course should be axed. Attitude is Everything!

Our boys performed woefully at the just concluded World Cup and only few of them showed remorse.

Abeg who is begging them to play for us? There are more than 1million Nigerians that will jump to the opportunity of putting on the green white green.

That's why I want the coach to look deep and fish out the players who are willing to put on the GWG. We have them scattered all over the world.

The Super Eagles is bigger than one player.
Nigeria is bigger than an individual!

It is time to get it right with our football.

You know, until you know someone personally what you have is media driven perception, the real person is very far from you.

Getting anybody to jump to the SE is not the issue, getting True Top Quality Talent is. However, if you want to enthrone mediocrity, I guess your proposition in bold wins.

After being educated right here about the extreme harsh reality of life of in Nigeria, financially speaking. I can understand how people's perspective on commitment can become distorted.

Most Nigerian origin players in the UK who are on the ascendancy do not need the SE to promote and propel thier careers. It can even be a distraction that causes them to loose value.

The players in Nigeria considers the matter a LIFE & DEATH issue. And as such will do anything on and off the field and concede to all demands from NFF officials. And may seemingly be perceived as more committed. Is that commitment national interest or self preservation. It's a matter of perception.

I don't think you can judge commitment by assumptions on body language. That's being presumptuous in the negative and downright prejudiced.

CaptainStephen:
Mixed feelings, but my line of business will be interested in understanding why he lost commitment.

NFF hmmmmm

Intelligent observation.

Did he actually loose commitment or did conduct behind the scenes remove his commitment.

MTN is borrowing 200billion naira from Nigerian banks...and they are coming to be quoted...is this money already factored in the report presentation?

Sorry for this post..i thought i was stock section

All these ma$turbations here cos of vic Moses retirement

Haters everywhere

we cant rule that out. This is Nigeria

forgiveness:



Correct! Valuable but not the best. Victor Moses is the best Nigerian player in his era. Chikena!

in his era. His era was with the likes of Emenike, Musa, Mba, Omeruo and Oboabona. He is now retired, so, he is not in the same era as the likes of Onyekuru who are supposed to be "next generation"

He was the best in his era, but he isn't the best in this new era.


The biggest question is where Moses stands in Nigerian football history, he is no legend, he will eventually be compared to the likes of Osaze who could give you some really great performances on some days and then make you wonder where his brain went on other days.


It is sad that he decided to leave at this point, because he will not be remembered the way he should have been.

BascoVanVeli:


No mind am. Victor Moses is a legend of Nigerian football EOD. Victor, Mikel and Enyeama would be worthy of a shirt in any era IMO.

Victor Moses has not even smelt who a legend is in Nigerian football.

Victor Moses is a caricature to Chelsea fans. A CARICATURE. How can your legend be a caricature to his club?

Mention Enyeama, someone will tell you he is an Enyimba legend

Mention Mikel, and for all his own antics, a majority of Chelsea fans will call him a legend for helping them win their first ever UCL

But Moses?


Abeg stop rough play. Not one soul outside this thread has used the term 'legend' on Moses. Moses is no legend.

Well, I feel Victor Moses has retired too early.

He still has a lot to offer the team. He will be greatly missed because we lack quality wingers in the team

But we must respect his decision and move on. Time for younger wingers to take to stage.

which high level European experience did Moses have when he first started playing for us? Zero

Which high-level African experience did he have? Zero

How many games did Moses play for us before AFCON? Was it up to 10?

What are you people on about?

Is it penalty takers we cannot find? Is it only Moses that can kick a ball into a mostly open net?


It is ironic that Moses' best years in the GwG were when he was not a highly rated footballer. The SE threw him back into contention, his career was dwindling at a point, if he did not have the International caps, Moses would be struggling in the championships today.


Let us not act like he did anyone but himself a favour by playing for this team, let us not act like he is so spectacular that there can be no other Moses when there are so many other players that are a Prime Moses right now

I agree with you

Moses wey him career don dey die before naija dey give am call ups.

If moses had make the chelsea team at first he will never agree to play for nigeria,him see say dem dey loan am up and down and no much game time then he decide to play for nigeria

Oga you dont know the meaning of legend abeg

For you to call victor moses a legend shows your mentality and you know nothing about football.

Go to google and read the meaning of legend if you have no idea of who should be call a legend

lol.....thank God you're not an authority in football at any level.

Speak away

Vic Moses will eventually be seen as a Legend as time goes by.
If we're being objective, apart from Atlanta 96, can you really say Kanu has performed better for Nigeria than Vic Mo?
Vic Moses has performed in Afcon, can you say the same about Kanu?
Both have had lukewarm WC perfomances. If Kanu is seen as a legend, Vic Moses should too.
Kanu had better club performances no doubt, but that's where it ends.

they can believe whatever they want, Na for their pocket o...... But any reasonable, sensible human being knows not to abuse the term 'legend' by giving Moses such a tag.

Who Moses epp? Even other Africans will mention Iwobi before Moses in the Nigerian team today.
