Dude you need a knock on the head

What does a person playing four seasons for Wolves have to do with the SE?

Others are bringing constant performances as a case for bringing players to the SE, you are bringing excuses and Mendes

I really do have a strong feeling that the guy behind the "Komekn" moniker is a goddamn English agent.

If he is, he'd better know he is wasting his time here.

'Iheanacho is better than Mbappe' crew strikes again angry

Rohr is the reason why Iheanacho could not trap a simple ball against South Africa

Rohr is the reason Iheanacho is underperforming at Leicester

They would rather blame Guardiola, Puel, Rohr, the pitch, the formation than blame the underperforming Iheanacho

It's appalling. Some people just choose to be blind.

Kelechi Iheanacho is a very poor footballer. End of discussion.

Kelechi is not a poor footballer

I think he is the most naturally gifted player we have at the moment

The problem is he is comfortable sitting on the bench as long as he is paid at the end of the week,he simply lacks motivation

Nacho rose to the height he achieved by being a poor footballer. I mean a player who broke into a team like Manchester City from the academy. A feat no player has achieved until now (keep in mind Foden has not reached Nacho's height in City). Such a player is a poor football.

Clap for yourself.

Gernot Rohr is the technical adviser. He is not a coach and he is not a scout, so, why should he be finding talent in the league? Did you ask what Salisu was doing with his time aside collecting bribes? Is it not Salisu that was in charge of home-based players? How many did he bring in?

Shebi when Rohr even tried to go for Aiteo Cup finals, one miscreant stole from him, maybe the day he tries to go for an NPFL game, dem go break the guy head.

What has anybody in the NPFL done with their career that should make them better than Balogun or Moses? Who do they play with? They have not finished winning decent African teams in the African Champions League or Confed Cups, na Germany or England dem wan reach?

And please, the Mba story is enough. He did not play AFCON alone, we did not play only one game in the entire AFCON. What did he do after AFCON?


You are mentioning Musa and Omeruo from how may years ago? How old were they when they left NPFL? How many of Musa and Omeruo has NPFL produced since then? Let us talk here and now, forget older players. Let us talk of the players available to Rohr

You are talking as if Rohr has never tried one NPFL player, he has tried multiple players, multiple. And none has been able to keep a spot. The few who are decent, left NPFL, testament to the fact that even they know that the NPFL is not good enough for the development of a player.


Once again, this whole victim mentality is nauseating. We were all here shouting Dessers last year, Rohr asked him to move up and he did, since then, he hasn't been consistent and the calls have reduced. Dessers is not an NPFL player, is he?


Rohr is not the one holding anybody's destiny. Stop wailing mbok, makes NPFL look pathetic.






Actually as per his new contract Rohr is in fact our head coach not technical adviser. I never had confidence in Salisu, this is even before the scandal. I was appalled by the CHAN list but guys said I was making excuses for the league.

The Aiteo cup talk is just shocking and comedic at best. Are u seriously trying to blame the league for one pick pocket? Some of the world's best pick pockets are in New York does that mean that people should not go and watch the Yankees? You have no right to use the actions of one or two criminals to define the people of Asaba.

U totally missed my point with bringing up Balogun and Moses. Players need to play with their clubs that is also a criteria for the national team but in their cases that has been ignored on numerous occasions. Just as playing at a good club is a criteria the player should actually play but that has been ignored for those guys.

Rohr has not tried any NPFL players that is the bare fact. Never has he put them in a competitive match or even a friendly of interest. Lokosa got to play 70 minutes on a bummy looking Port Harcourt field that nobody wanted a part of and that is the best anybody ever got. Alhassan, Sikiru and Odey got rave reviews against and that was the last we heard of them. Odey and Alhassan went to Europa league clubs but that was not enough for Rohr because he never wanted them in the first place.

Name one NPFL players name that I have shouted? No playing the victim, we are just having a discussion and I will always rely on my facts and nothing more. My point is that u have to actually look first before u proclaim something. The coach has no idea about our league and he is just making guesses. If he actually went out there and came back telling us no one is good enough I would accept but all he is doing now is guess work. If Rohr doesn't want NPFL players for whatever reason then that is his business but what I won't take is talking nonsense on top of it.

You can never know how good a player is until they are tested at a higher level.

Several stars of the NPFL has failed when the level was raised. Egbuchulam for instance was great in the NPFL but poor in the Swedish top flight. He had a good season in the second division of Sweden this year, let see if he can replicate it in the first division. Odey took a season to find his feet and even then, he has only 5 goals this season. Lokosa has jumping from one trial to another.

A good player does not hide and will eventually shine. If a player is scoring 30 goals in Malta, we will not invite them to the national team.

The national team is for the best and you can only show that you are good enough by playing with better competition.

It would be considered wisdom to read the previous posts on this particular discourse before contributing.

That way your comments will not be considered to be lacking any relevance or substance.

Ajayi was born in the UK has never lived in Nigeria played a handful of games for the Nigerian U20. He played his first professional league game at age 22 in England after many years of youth football in Arsenal Charlton and Cardiff city.

So how did he become a Nigerian groomed player

Oga, u cannot tell me the root of Semi Ajayi I know that already.

You have added Semi Ajayi to that your list. Another of our ex-junior international.

You nailed it.

That's one of the reason I want him to be excused from the NT. He needs to find his WHY? One or two omission(s) from Eagles camp might do wonders and probably could be enough reason for him to work harder.

He is one player I had and still have so much expectation on. Remember those days when his training clips under Pellegrini were posted here. The Talent is there - no doubt about that. Remember one classic bicycle kick he scored that made the whole Manchester City players and their coaching crew then clap for him.

He seems to be lazy these days or perhaps complacent.

I hope he gets his Mojo back.

Then, it was Martial, Rashford and Kelechi. The Manchester Boys making front page of newspapers before the arrival of Mbappe.

But these three fell asleep at the same time and they've been pushed out of the newspaper. Martial is the only one of the three fighting his way back into relevance.

I wish Kelechi well.
