God forbid the bolded. Vicmo is no role model. Imagine Chukwueze learning how to pick games to play for Nigeria, from Vicmo, or Iwobi and Ndidi learning how to feign injuries to skip Eagles matches in favour of their club careers from him.

Please, coming to help mold our younger players should be the least reason to bring back Moses. Dude is a bad influence mbok

he is a very bad influence...more like a virus.
he should be allowed to enjoy his retirement in peace.

Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick believes he can still convince Victor Moses to rescind his decision to quit the Super Eagles and is set to travel to England for talks with the Chelsea winger.

In August 2018, Moses decided to call time on his international career in order to focus fully on his Chelsea career and his young family as well as to allow the next generation of Super Eagle stars the opportunity to step up and to flourish.

''With all due respect to Nigerians, I am talking to Victor Moses because I believe he's somebody that has paid his dues,'' Pinnick told Channels Television.

''He shouldn't just leave Nigeria unceremoniously and I told him that. I talk to him every day. I make him understand the reason, he's very, very eager.

''Even if he says I am begging him, I don't mind. It's not as if there are no players there but we should encourage our players. The others when they say they are retiring, maybe it is out of ego.''

If Moses does not make a U-turn, Pinnick has revealed that he plans to set up a ceremonial game for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations star.

''He has paid his dues. I recall the Nations Cup we won, the game we played against Ethiopia, ten minutes to the end of the game, he scored two penalties and those penalties catapulted us to the quarterfinals.

''I will be meeting with him in a fortnight and his agent. Even if he wants to go, there must be a ceremony for him to go and that's the truth.

''Look at what they did to Wayne Rooney, they brought him back, gave him the captaincy. We must celebrate them at every point in time,'' concluded Pinnick.

Moses was among five Nigerian players named to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Team of the Tournament, the others being Vincent Enyeama, Efe Ambrose, John Obi Mikel and Emmanuel Emenike.

That's a good one coming from Pinnick. He is needed badly.

;Wow, you are indeed warm lol

I see no reason to reinvite Vicmo.

The guy has grown bigger than the SE. The little success he has had has entered his head. In the match against Argentina he reportedly blatantly refused to play as a wingback. The NFF president himself had to go to the dressing room to beg Vicmo before he grudgingly accepted. And we could see how halfhearted his display was that day. No matter how good a player is, he is no use if he feels he is bigger than his coach and team mates.

The Moses of 2013 with hunger and passion in his eyes is not the Moses of 2019. Let's make no mistakes. Yes he has paid his bills in the SE but if an apprentice becomes too big to listen to his oga's instructions, he is sent home empty handed and in shame no matter how long or how well he had previously served. "Okro anaghi akari onye kuru ya"!.

WE OWE VICMO NOTHING!

unicorn79:


He has not been permanently replaced.

The replacements are not exactly ripe and have barely featured for us. They need mentorship.

Bring back Moses for the ANC. Kudos to Pinnick.

Moses was not ripe when he played the first AFCON for us and we won.

These new replacements only need one AFCON and Moses will be dumped in the dustbin of history

A lot of Nigerians have attachment issues and are too sentimental, they want to hold on to players forever, even when it is obvious moving on is a necessity. You want to remain in the safety net forever and ever.

Moses is gone, y'all need to move on and stop pining on your ex, it is sad

Arsenal coach Unai Emery has hinted that teenage Nigerian winger Bukayo Saka could make his Emirates FA Cup debut when they face Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday evening.

The Hale End Academy product has already debuted for the Gunners in the Premier League and Europa League and will make it three competitions if he plays against the Seasiders.

Should Saka feature against Blackpool, he will be aged 17 years and 4 months which makes him one of the youngest players of Nigerian descent to debut in the FA Cup.

''I am using different players because of injuries, but it is important for us to give chances to the young players," said Emery to arsenal.com.

"The young players, like Saka, he has debuted in his last match and he was playing because at the moment we haven’t a lot of players who have the possibility to play wide right or wide left.

"Saka is in the academy, growing up with good performances. It is the beginning, I hope, of a long career here in Arsenal.''

Former Southend United midfielder Femi Orenuga is the youngest player of Nigerian descent to appear in the FA Cup aged 15 years, 8 months and 11 days.

He came on in the third minute of stoppage time vs Luton Town on November 29, 2008 in a second round clash.

Is that the Femi that played for Everton, he must be about 25+ now. Didn't get beyond the academy level at Everton before getting lost in non league.

He might not even have a club at the moment.

Chukwueze is different because he isn't in EPL and he has put up stellar performances against top teams in La Liga, Kelechi was performing against small fries like Southampton and Crystal Palace..... I can't recall a big team where he really performed

komekn:


I really don't doubt what you are saying.

And the MRI has curbed the hitherto reckless abuse of the system with old men of 25+ paraded as U17 making a mockery of ourselves in the international arena of football.

However, the bold substantiates my point you just can not be absolutely sure about the ages of our youth players. So you've vindicated my position.

Vindicated which your position?

No one here has said the MRI determines exact age because that is not how it functions. It is not a Chronological machine so it cannot determine absolute age. It only examines extent of certain bone fussion which is attributable to most boys of certain age or less. (Before 18)

We are only kicking against those that will see a 19 years old Uzoho or Chukwueze and say they are in their 30s or 25+, a claim which u have always supported.

If you truly wish for the development of Nigerian football please quite this your antics of trying to rubish the ages of all our players that have gone through the MRI.

No sir. Moses was not a rookie when he played the Afcon with us.
Infact he was over-ripe and well established.

He was 23, and had previously played 6 games for us totalling 2 goals and 1 assist. He debuted in Feb 2012, the Adcon was in 2013.

This is asides his good club record at that time.

Now who are is present replacements?

Chukwueze? Kalu? Simon? Onyekuru?

All rookies (except Simon who is presently not performing well anyways)

In 2013, we were at the brink of crashing out of the group stage.
It was our last game against resolute Ethiopia. The game had approached the final minutes, and Ethiopia held strong. We needed a win to secure us qualification.

In the dying minutes, It was Moses' experience that won us 2 penalties within around 5 minutes.

Moses saved us and as a result won us the cup.

Bring him back because of his experience. He hasn't run out of steam. We need him and Mikel for the ANC.

It is the coaches decision to start who he wishes but for some games the inexperience of the rookies will disappoint.

ChrisKels:


Until they make the moves, I am not inviting them to the national team.

On a more serious note, I want Maja, Aribo, Eze, Ejaria, Ojo et al in the March squad to face Seychelles

Please don't try to diss bringing down nacho ,if chukwueze make mistake tomorrow you will the first to insult him tomorrow

Now tell me Tottenham and man united are small teams

Lol 19 year old married Uzoho?

Alright. I will reserve my comments to avoid unnecessary argument.

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that it is looking likely that former Watford striker Odion Ighalo will return to Europe in the January transfer window as Turkish Super Lig clubs Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are interested in his signature.

The future of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations leading marksman has been a subject of speculation, as you would expect, following the demotion of Changchun Yatai from the Chinese Super League.

This website can report with certainty that Southampton have NOT officially approached Ighalo about a transfer to the club amid rumours linking him with a switch to the St Mary's Stadium.

Having said that, three to four Premier League clubs are exploring ways to sign the Changchun Yatai frontman this month.

Turkish rivals Fenerbahce and Galatasaray have expressed the most serious interest in signing Ighalo as the two teams are still holding discussions with the player and his entourage.

Ighalo was the most prolific Nigeria international in the 2018 calendar year with 27 goals for club and country.

BascoVanVeli:


Their situations are not exactly alike. [b]Chukwueze is already playing in the best league in the world [/b]and has no footballing reason to go anywhere else.

Hmmmm

But not the most competitive league in the world and best is open to debate.

This is the first time in a long time that it's not just been Barca and Real, it's been so predictable for the past decade.

In reality l think that's it's better for him to stay in La Liga and develop. The competition in the EPL may be too much for him at this point.

how is Kalu a rookie?

How is Moses of 2013 better than Kalu of 2019?



Kalu has not even played up to 6 games, but his national team stats are 2 assists and 1 goal....so, what makes 2013 Moses better than 2019 Kalu that you think Moses was ripe and Kalu isn't? Abi because he was 23?


In 2013, it was Sunday Mba that gave us the winning goals at the semi-finals and quarter-finals, let us remember that we played against then African giants CIV, and Moses' experience was nowhere to be found. Mba is obviously a greater footballer than Moses, since we are hailing Moses for getting two penalties against some lowly Ethiopian team.


We could have crashed out against CIV and we could have lost against Burkina Faso, Sunday Mba was the true hero who saved us and won us the cup. Let us not take away accolades from the true heroes of that team, because Moses' selfishness has cost us more games than saved us

If I say I am not TOTALLY bewildered by the fee £19 million then I would be a big liar.

When I compared Solanke to KC earlier today l talked about unique selling point, attributes and requirements for the lower half to upper mid table teams in the EPL.

Below a quote from the Bournemouth Manager.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe said he was "really excited" about working with Solanke.

"Dominic is technically gifted, very athletic and has the physical profile that will give us something different in our front line," said Howe

That statement substantiates my deductions.

Honestly, with the number of wingers coming through, we do not need Moses.

Besides, he has not been playing so we do not know how fit he is.

It is the man who has skeletons to hide that is the first to make accusations, so, I suggest you save this advice for yourself because I never at any point implied you have anything against anyone


I repeat, EPL hype was from patriots and fanboys. Iheanacho was performing in City, imagine if Chukwueze was in Atletico Madrid, would he not have better stats?


Yes, if Chukwueze begins to Bleep up, I will bash him too. When someone is doing good, you praise them, and when they start misbehaving, you bash them. Abi, make I begin dey make excuse for who dey play opata ball? Na so you dey do your own analysis? Na wetin make Kelechi no gree get sense, because una still dey talk say all is well because once upon a time, he was a decent footballer.
