forgiveness i doubt if you have seen igbekeme and fikayo play this season. i don't rate players based on their past exploits but current form and this is one of the problems bedeviling the apex team of this nation. igbekeme is miles better than onazi based on current form. he is creative,versatile(can play as a cm,dm,lw and am),younger and a workaholic. currently in the spanish 2nd tier is is called the new kante and have been one of the best players in this season so far. he is currently been monitored by the likes of sevilla and other top tier clubs in spain after just joining zaragoza few weeks ago. timori have improved so much and have been a mainstay in derby's first team. having a young player whose utility will be immerse in the team will be a plus. he is naturally a centre back but can also play the rb position comfortably. lets forget about onazi and omeruo's past exploits and accept the fact that they are washed up now |

New Derby County loan signing Fikayo Tomori has shown his potential as a defender, as no player in the Championship has averaged more interceptions per game than the youngster (Whoscored). Tomori joined Derby on loan from Premier League title challengers Chelsea, having previously worked closely with Rams boss Frank Lampard’s number two Jody Morris in the Blues’ academy. The Rams brought in Tomori on a season-long loan deal, and he was immediately thrust into the starting eleven alongside Richard Keogh for the home game against Leeds – a match Derby lost 4-1. But despite the drubbing by Marcelo Bielsa’s men, many felt Tomori was a standout and since then he has grown in stature, helping the team to successive 2-0 home victories over Ipswich Town and Preston North End. Tomori's reading of the game is decent and he has explosive pace for a central defender, allowing him to track runners easily and cut out potentially dangerous passes – evident by a Championship best 3.8 interceptions per game. Aside from possessing pace and awareness, the 20-year-old defender is physically strong. With an ability to pass out from the back, the Chelsea loanee could convert into a potential holding midfield player – an option Derby may eexercise with when Curtis Davies returns to action following injury. With Derby struggling to field a natural holding player (George Evans is injured and Tom Huddlestone out of the picture), Tomori may become the next best option. 1 Like |

ChrisKels: None is not correct. Lukuman Haruna played consistently with big clubs like Monaco, Dynamo Kyiv, and Anzi Makhachkala. Don't forget he was in South Africa 2010 world cup. He was ignored in his early years. Dele Ajiboye is still around. Won the local league with Plateau United. In a sane society, he should be in the national team ahead of Ezemwa. Rabiu Ibrahim could have made it but due to heart failure he went down though he went to the biggest or one of the biggest clubs in all the leagues he went to. PSV, Sporting Lisbon, Celtic, Gent etc He is currently in Slovakia league and his team is leading his team. 1 Like

New Club Brugge star Arnaut Danjuma has now left the door open to play for the Super Eagles after he first said he only wanted to play for Holland. The 21-year-old forward has now said he would “seriously consider” an Eagles call-up. “I am proud of my origin. Africans are happier, open, they look less at the negative and get the best out of the situation. I also have that in me,” he said in an interview published by Voetbal International. “Who knows, maybe I’ll play for Nigeria, I would seriously think about it if they called me up, but it would be a pity because I’d rather play for the Dutch national team. ” Danjuma also revealed in the interview that Premier League champions Manchester City were interested in signing before he opted to join Club Brugge. Danjuma, Bonaventure Dennis Listed For Champions League “Manchester City were interested,” according to the winger who plays alongside Nigerian forward Bonaventure Dennis at the Belgian champions. “There was also interest from other clubs from England, France and Germany, but I deliberately opted for Club (Brugge), it was just right. “I have simply followed my feelings.” He is set to make his UEFA Champions League debut at home against Borussia Dortmund tomorrow night. |

forgiveness: Do u know what durability and relevance mean? The clubs they signed for never knew they were over aged. They were victims of the players' fraudulent act, just as the Eagles were once or twice their victims too. But since no one can cheat nature, age caught up with them, hence dey cudnt stand the test of time neither were they relevant in the so called big teams they played for . Haruna was a bench warmer for a moribund Monaco side that ended up getting relegated. He was so poor at Kiev that when he was sent out on loan, he was rejected and sent back to Kiev. He was released finally at a supposed age of 22 abi 23. Rabiu was never at any time a rational deal by the various clubs he scammed 3 Likes |

Sir U will have to ask Rohr what he doesn’t like in Kayode. However, I still see him as average based on my high standards. You see he. As far ahead of the others because of your UEFA coefficient factor, fine. Simy got his chance just before the WC and Rohr still has faith in him just as he has in Joel Obi.

He is open to the idea but clearly implies he prefers Netherlands by far. To seriously think about it means, he won’t just jump on it after a call up to Nigeria. Whereas, with Netherlands, he will be three in a heartbeat. Very honest chap. ChrisKels: 2 Likes |

Joebie: I already said it last week, I wont be surprised if we miss out on the boy. I was pro Danjuma thinking he was a right winger till forgiveness woke me up to the reality. Dude is a left winger, same position we have an avalanche of personels. Unless he leaves Brugge for a bigger club like Monaco, Valencia, Lyon, Marseille, Napoli, fiorentina etc, otherwise Rohr aint looking his way because, for now he aint as good as what we have already. Infact he hasn't done what Bonaventure did for Brugge in his first season, month, week and day in the jupiler league. If Bonaventure was a FB, I doubt we would be singing Danjuma's praises as we doing now. |

to me rohr's major priority should be to bring in more talented players regardless of the continent the player were born. many here feels european born lads are given preferential treatments because of where they are coming from but that should not be the case and a good example is the current french national team. i am of the opinion that we should cap as many foreign born lads as we can so the team will have a bigger pool to pick players from. sentiments should not be given a chance to raise its ugly head when it comes to players selection. if we can get the likes of danjuma,billing,tomori,akpoguma,uduokhai,dessers,lookman,ejaria etc and they turn out to be better than what we already have i see no reason why they shouldn't be bonafide members of the team. the target should be the 2022 worldcup which i will say the preparation started at the last world cup. stiff competition for places in a football team even brings out the best from mediocre players. if danjuma and dennis will add more to the team than simon moses,kalu or even onyekuru i see no reason they should be added to the team at the expense of the underperforming players. |

Joebie: I dont care how they do it, they just have to do it like they did Ademola's. Akpoguma especially has been somewhat a personanongrata for Germany, and sadly for hoffeinhem too. Dude is playing second fiddle to newly acquired Ghanaman Kasim Nuhu though the Nuhu guy is crocked now, Akpoguma is still finding it tough to get reasonable minutes under his belt. Getting him wont be that hard anymore but the qstn is, "is he good enough?" 4 Likes |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by charlesemeka85(m): 1:43am On Sep 18, 2018 |
as it stands now i believe akpoguma looks more likely. dude is 23, not really a regular at hoffenheim and for now is not even considered for a call up by the german national team who boast of better young central defenders in tah(leverkusen),sule(bayern),kehre(schalke 04),rudiger(chelsea) etc with older players like boateng and hummels still around. i even tip torunarigha to be capped by the german senior side before or if akpoguma will be considered. if he has a good manager his best bet for senior international football is with the super eagles. uduokhai though not a regular in the german u21 but he is highly rated in the country and it will be a bit difficult to get though he is keeping his options open. torunarigha is a no go area cus dude is seen as the new jerome boateng and a mainstay in the country's u21 team |
