Samuel Kalu at his current level would warm the bench consistently for Everton

#gospel according to me.

krattoss:
just because u re familiar with EPL doesn't mean other leagues are shiit.
Bordeaux will trash everton and his cohorts any day anytime.

Benerd and lookman still remain amateur to kamano and s. Kalu.

somehow:
So Everton is better because they can buy Bordeaux player without blinking an eye?

Man City is better than Barcelona then since they can buy Barcelona's players without blinking an eye.

Dey Copied England who are the original owners and inventors of this celebration. Nothing new here

Shehu was the most lively player on the pitch before his injury.

U know on dis thread... To some persons,no matter good some players in d super eagles play on a matchday,dey would still remain average or poor in deir own view,no matter aw

edi287:

Wait...so if Everton and Bordeaux are dragging for a prospect - you honestly think the prospect will mull things over?? AT 2018?? Look at the players Everton got and tell me the last time Bordeaux got that caliber of players
This is turning into a farce oo. Why use Barca and Man City?? It's more like Man City and Sevilla...that's what Everton is to Bordeaux...

We need to understand something on this Thread, Rohr can not invite at least maximum of 24 Players to the Camp at a go! Also we we can't expect him to be changing Players in every international Match.

Any Player below 23 whether FB or Local should be drafted to the Olympic (U23) Team. Senior Team is already crowded.

komekn:


I do not.

There are too many variables to make that assumption.

I watched him play against lowly Rangers and for the time he came on albeit it not more than 15 minutes if I'm right. He simply was not outstanding.

Icon4s:


I agree with your first paragraph.

But on the 2nd paragraph any player who can add value, even if U23 can be invited.

Bordeaux this season have been so average. Persnoally,I will pick Lookman over Kalu. He tends to be too concerned with dribbling. He is good no doubt, but technically & with maturity of purpose on the field, Simon,Onyekuru, Success & even Emem Eduok will get my nod over him.

krattoss:
he will even start ahead of old aged Walcott..

komekn:


Old aged Walcott hmmm dont agree, is he old Robben Arjen is older by 5 years is still playing and scoring for Bayern Munich. Nobody calls him old.

Yet you call Walcott old.

In reality you really do not know the age of the player you are comparing him too. He may be closer in age to Walcott than you think.

Finally he has not achieved anything in comparison to Walcot.

ChrisKels:
Tiemue Bakayoko to do a Wilfred Zaha on France as he is set to reverse his international allegiance to add to Ivory Coast's already packed midfield.

Supernerd where art thou

Imagine Bakayoko DM, Kessie CM and Seri AM, Cornet top 9 flanked by Zaha and "Pepe" the Neymar of Lille, Chai Nerdy bwoy wont like this breathing down on Onazi, Agu, Agbo, Etebo, Ogu hahahaha. Behind those gladiators are Aurier RB, Gbamin and Baily CBs and Ghislain LB

Lol Afcon go sweet biko

charlesemeka85:
bros no one is saying that the foreign born kids are more talented than our our home grown kids but all we are emphasizing on is for the team to have more quality if it means bringing in this kids from abroad.

lets leave the segregation of "foreign and home grown" kids, they are all nigerians and have equal rights so any of them who accepts to play for us should be welcomed with open arms.

so assuming ojo,lookman joins the team and performs better than the wingers we have currently in the team isn't that a welcome development? or they should not start ahead of the kalus and onyekurus of this world just because they were born in europe?

all i am saying is for the team to have more quality and depth and the notion that "this euro-born kids must declare their willingness to play for us before they get an invite" is rubbish

komekn:


I am sorry I strongly disagree.

It's not rubbish its utter arrant, nonsensical, hare-brained, ludicrous BALDERDASH.

It's not for players to declare allegiance it's for the NFF to invite them. Look at the nonsense we are doing with Josh Maja and Ebere Eze.

Albeit we can make discreet overtures.

But you should know I have spoken to a number of these boys. And it's not honourable to be begging to be chosen your football gets you noticed and that should get you a " CALL UP "

Not whether you declare for Nigeria or not.

ChrisKels:
Two players rumored to make a step up to the match day squad in Sfax;

Idowu for injured Shehu is a no brainer

Simon for Onyekuru as Simon's defensive abilities from his position as a winger will come in handy in the away match

krattoss:
all those u mentioned above ain't even fit to lace Kalu shoes on a normal basis.
Even tho or they re old, inconsistent, and expired.

Oasis007:


The Reason for my second Paragraph is simply to accommodate Lookman, Eze and other talented Nigerian Players below the Age in the National Team.

Then they can be gradually Integrated into the Senior Team based on Merit. Names keep popping up every Hour as if Rohr can invite more than 24 Players at a go or lineup more than 11 Players for a Match.

MetalJigsaw:
Kalu would make Everton first 11.

krattoss:
bakayoko that his career has gone awol.
His boss gattusso recently told the media he can't even trap ball.
Was it last 3 days or so, he fired him shots that bakayoko needs to learn how to control the ball.
Bakayoko won't add any value to that ivory coast team.

krattoss:

Fixed..

I remember when you all not sure if you were in that group. Gave high praise to Sadiq Umar, I looked at the way he played when he was supposedly tearing up the Belgium league. Where is he now Can't even make the bench at Rangers.

I gave the view that he would struggle in League one.

Kalu is not better than Ademola Lookman by a considerable margin. His end product is very suspect, it's not all about dribbling and running around like a headless chicken.

On the professional game you will be judged on end product. That's why Bolasie is on loan and you think Kalu is better than Bolasie ❓

I very much doubt it, I don't think any EPL team will consider him as first team prospect.

They will definitely be part of the U23 set up if they are available to us. But that still does not stop Rohr from adding them to the SE when necessary.

I typically like a matured U23 team. IE U23 team with a good number of players that have played at Senior level. Like Uzoho, Awaziem, Kalu and Onyekuru are eligible for the 2020 Olympics. Remember also that Samuel Chukwueze, Kingsley Michael, Orji Okonkwo, Taiwo Awoniyi, Victor Osimhen, K. Nwakali, Sincere Seth are some of the players that would likely have risen to the SE before 2020 Olympics. And they are also eligible for the Olympics. Remember also that Ebube Duru, Ukouwem Utin and the rest of the U20 class are eligible.

If the coaches can make the right selections and these players are available. That would be a killer squad.

tbaba1234:


I think, we should have a standing under 21 team that plays friendlies during international breaks. That way, we can see which of the youth players might be ready to step up and cap some of the youth dual citizen prospects.
