I honestly don't see why we are going for Seyi Ojo. For Chrissakes our team is overflowing with wingers presently. Even someone in the caliber of Simon Moses now struggles to make our bench!. I hear Ojo is a left footed RW, but we already have Chukwueze who has the very same characteristics (and plays at a higher level). So why exactly do we need Seyi Ojo?.

Let the NFF find us CREATIVE MIDFIELDERS. That is all we ask. AM's and CM's are welcome, any other position is not a priority for now.

groundnutoil:
how old is onyekuru

Danielnino00:
Icon4s There's something I'm not clear on regarding the award oo.. is it only the committee members that will b responsible for nominating players for each category and deciding on the winners or will members of this thread also have a say?

komekn:


I disagree, his immediate impact and resurgence in the Russian league, made way for him.

groundnutoil:
yea like Collins who is so good that he plays in German 2nd division
most of your players play abroad just because they were born there that's why we are always dragging nationality with the countries the play in
you think some of the npfl players won't do better if the had a more better condition to show their skills
besides most or your super eagles are bench warmers in their league
and your best player in the super eagles now (musa) started in the Npfl and proved himself before he went abroad
the guy who gave u your last afcon title Sunday mbah was playing in the league
ur best player in ur last under 23 African nation cup (etebo) was with warri wolves dn
abeg talk another thing
granted the league quality no dey dat high doesn't mean there aren't good players in the league too
trying playing in bad pitches without salaries for months and still put up some good displays and tell me you won't do more if given a more comfortable display consistently

There was some level of organization and confidence was on and off but i liked the way they defended...i think they afraid or respected Brazil too much...overall they are progressing...

OMANBALA1:
Truth is that Iheanacho has not made much progress as a developing player, and its beginning to look like what we have seen so far is all he has to offer. In the beginning at tbe U17 world cup he was banging in goals after goals and we thought we had found a gem in our hands. He was signed and the goals continue under former Man City boss but it became interesting that most of his goals came by mere tap ins. And, all of a sudden, the same player known for his swift movements with the ball and wizardry deft touches became bereft of ideas when the ball is in his feet.

His fans came to his defence and pointed out he was an emerging talent and will come good with time. Things got worse under the watch of the meticulous Pep Guadiola, and Nacho dropped down the pecking order. It was rumored Guadiola was a racist and people compared Kelechi to Jesus. The lad banged in couple of goals but to the discerning eyes it was obvious he did not measure up.

Kelechi was shipped out to Leicester and he continued with his struggle. Ok, the boy had a little setback with injury but after he became match fit the expectation that followed his U17 exploits were yet to be met. The man went to the world cup and simply didn't play. His delivery became inconsistent and it began to look like Kelechi would never meet his target. Kelechi has the most opportunity out of all his mate at the U17, meanwhile, he has regressed instead. Suddenly, Kelechi could not keep a soccer ball to his feet , he has no vision ,and his trademark defense splitting passes didn't get better. He lurks around the 18 yard box waiting for the slightest opportunity to tap a goal in. It is painfully depressing.

The question now becomes ,will Iheanacho ever come good ?
What will be the next excuse ?

Joebie:
I like he idea of reducing the traveling for league games

andrew444:


lol but I no fight nah

Abi the truth dey pain you ?

No b the same seedorf wey dey coach Cameroon ?

Tell me something I don't know ?

If seedorf is a good coach he won't even rush to take cameroun job with the name he has all over Europe .

We aren't the largest country on the continent, heck even in West Africa.

eeem eeem clears throat again....he is a winger...he is not better than the ones in the team....and Chukwueze has joined too....i do not think we will need him...unless Rohr thinks of French connection to sneak him into the team...otherwise....He is not better than than the two Kalus,Simon,Onyekuru,Musa....in short our wings are LOADED...NFF SHOULD BE GOING FOR MIDFIELDERS AND DEFENDERS FOR NOW

komekn:


Unfortunately the reality is that RACISM is still alive and thriving. How many black Managers do you see in the entire UK from non league to the EPL. Not even a handful.

EEGA:
Ikouwem is not dear yet.

He needs to leave the NPFL .

Their is a criteria for call-up which is league quality.

You can't be playing in the Vietnam league and be expecting call-up.

EEGA:
Sunday Mba gave us the trophy but their are better mid-fielders who play in Europe who would 've done better but due to the 7 slots for Home based players then we had no choice but to make do with what we have.

We have "raw" talents in the league but they need to leave the league to be "refined".

andrew444:

We need seyi ojo for our Olympic team ,2020 is near

TheGoodJoe:


When did leaving the NPFL become a criteria. Then we blame players for signing slave contracts in backwater leagues.

If the player is good enough, give him his chance.

komekn:



Agreed without one iota of reservation or question

Opportunity is everything and players should be given OPPORTUNITY based on merit. I am even inclined to have positive discrimination towards local players in the local league. Based on potential.

Given better training and a more professional structure to improve and develop. You will see many starts being born. IMO.

komekn:


The NFF should be seeking the very best that we can get. Mediocrity and favoritism should not be enthroned over merit and quality.

Compare any of our wingers statistics to the those of Seyi Ojo. And then make an unbiased objective judgement.

What we have is OPPORTUNITY given without merit and Opportunity denied without reason. If indeed the quest is to find the best.

TheGoodJoe:


I agree 100%.

andrew444:


I know it's hard for black coaches no doubt ,there was a black coach who did well in west brom,you remember right,I think he is still their coach now .

There are few good black coaches compared to others ,seedorf got his chance at Milan and blew it up,with seedorf ac Milan was turn from average team to below average team .

I am watching Henry right now and I am hoping he takes his chances unless good job like coaching Monaco will be hard to come by anytime soon, then maybe shortly you will hear that Thierry Henry is the head coach of Madagascar national team .

komekn:


Unless opportunity is given we can not clearly determine a players impact on the SE.

komekn:


What you are implying if not saying is that Chukwueze is better than Seyi Ojo ❓ am l right, don't wish to presume.

And if so, how have you come to that conclusion ❓

Unless opportunity is given we can not clearly determine a players impact on the SE. For good or better or is thier a fear that a better player may displace some of our home grown favoured players.

My view give the most deserving OPPORTUNITY and let the best player be selected. Unless you don't wish to have competitive selection just favoritism.

Utonwanne:


Seyi Ojo

Curtisaxel7:


This is the absurdest thing I've heard today.

Going by your logic, the NFF should also invite EVERY SINGLE footballer of Nigerian descent to camp in order to give them opportunity to "determine thier impact on the SE".

Joebie:
Yes and we have the best roads in the continent

komekn:


That's not what I am saying AT ALL.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

Look at all my posts repeatedly I have given a basic requisite structure format for player selection. That is objective, measured and transparent.

Curtisaxel7:


Lol. The guy appears to be a habitual journeyman. And what is that I see......he hasn't scored a single goal since this year?.

Seriously? Is this the guy we want in our SE?. I laugh in Chinese.

Odunayaw:


Anyway I don't buy the idea of an abridged league
