It could be difficult to take him to AFCON. Kalu Samuel, Onyekuru, Simon Moses and Ahmed Musa will be hard to be dropped for him.

Today is friday, i wanna have a cool weekend please, odn't wanna have any e-fight today.
but still from my post/comment what was my offence Mr. Fighter?

if you are employed for the Job you will do better because that will be your means of livelihood.

you will put in so much commitment into it, many in the academics are still within the age of 18-19 years old. michael just called into the team was discovered in like manner, can't he do same ?

This man is a round peg in a square hole, it won't fit

U20 is for young professionals...Messi was already signed and playing for Barcelona yet beat us in the final....Chukwueze is playing for a smaller club compared to Barcelona...ARGENTINA s Correa,Aguero,Columbia s Rodriguez,Quintero,etc were already first team players sef yet played in u20...


We need to win this u20 willy nilly...

Chukwueze is not the first to be shifted like that...i remember Kanu Nwankwo...after 1993 u17 triumph..Westerhof invited him to Super Eagles...then he went sent to u20...at a time Ajax blocked him from going to Mauritius 93...i think so..another player sent to u20 was Celestine Babayaro but Anderlect blocked him..If Samu can help us win the cup...why not? It is not an insult...look at the current german u20...they are all first team players in their Bundesliga clubs...playing for two to three season now while Samu just started playing la Liga this season...Samu has just played one friendly match for us..not even competitive game...HE MUST WIN U20 FOR US BEFORE WE CAN CALL HIM GREAT...

Maradona played u20
Messi played u20
Raul played u20
Mbappe played u20
why not Samu?
Even Rodriguez of Columbia played u20...

Humility017:

The problem with you is that your mindset and reasoning when it comes to football is so parochial and limited
so sorry i said that... i mean no insults, you have said it severally that you watch mainly only the english football because you live in england then instead of you learn and be humble enough to let others who are more broad and holistic in the matters of football teach you with their vatse football knowledege you begin to act as if the little knowledge you have defines all....

how well do yo know of the spanish and other european countires leagues and football? obviously Andrew and many here know better than you but probably you know english football than them. Football is beyond the few english leagues you know, learn bro

Good one bro.

That list is endless, Pogba, Ronaldinho, Lacazzette, Kaka, Saviola, Kun Aguero, Fabregas, Iniesta, Xavi etc.

This is where Stars are made and not even the U17.
In as much as I would wish us to win the U20 but what I count as more important is the addition to the pool of players we can promote to the U23 and Super Eagles.

U17 is for wide chase of talents but for U20 u need to be specific with those that are already performing at club level.

To those that are preaching Aigbogun should go and discover his own new talents. So what do we do with the already discovered talents from the previous U17s? Discard them and be chasing nonentities who are already 20years olds?

And who says Aigbogun has not unearthed some new players? Who knew Oremade and Ozornwafor before the AYC?

There is a very good synergy between our national team coaches which has never happened before. And this should be commended.

Great submission you have there Sir...So many big names today played u20 as YOUNG PROFESSIONALS...Not as academy players. On Aigbogun,we are stuck with him...he cannot be sacked now..he needs help...Which is coming through this synergy that is existing between our coaches...we see that in u23....Ozorwnafor of u20 even played for u23....thats the help i mean...Hopefully.Osimhen,Orji,Samu,et al will join them...later join up u23...there is nothing wrong in shifting them...Nigeria is reaping from her pool of players...Manu has kept the production line working...right now Manu Garba has sixty players in his pool...

Arsenal Keen On Offloading Kelechi Nwakali After Failed Loan Stint With Porto B

I think Nwakali should go to a team coached by MOURINHO...to make him work harder and face his front

That is one thing they fail to understand. Even if they manage to squeeze him in he will spend most of the AFCON on the bench.

I have kukuma said my own about Chukwueze and the U20 WC and AFCON. The major challenge is if Villa Real can release him for the U20WC because the La liga season will be at the critical tail end when the WYC will be commencing.

forgiveness:


Exactly! But I don't think he will be squeezed into the team. However, if there's still opportunity for him to prove himself in the camp, why not?

Him going to U-20 world cup is a mission impossible because I don't see Villarreal releasing him.

Anyway, let us see what happens at the end.

Kelechi Nwakali has a very poor work rate, if he continues like this is the might find himself in the level of his brother Chidiebere Nwakali very soon

Spanish La Liga side Villarreal has told rave of the moment Samuel Chukwueze to pick between representing Nigeria at the U20 World Youth Championship or the Africa Cup of Nations ‎as they will only allow him play in one of the two tournaments, Owngoalnigeria.com understands.

Chukwueze has played for the Nigeria senior national team and also the U23s but also submitted his credentials to be registered by Nigeria U20 ahead of their campaign at the World Youth Championship.

As expected Villarreal have categorically communicated to the representatives of the 19 year old that he can only play in one of the tournaments because of the closeness of the dates between both tournaments.

This same year he will likely be pushing to represent the Nigeria U23 team in November if they are able to scale through Sudan in the final round of qualifiers for the U23 Africa Cup of Nations.

The likelihood of all of this happening plus the fact that he is expected to resume early for pre season training has made Villarreal to stand their ground leaving the decision in the hands of the Nigerian coaches to determine the team that need him most.

Bolowolowo:


He is needed in AFCON. We need to use the U20 as platform to launch and discover unknown, hidden talents. Samuels success at Villarreal is enough to propel him to greater heights. Playing in U20 would be redundant.

tbaba1234:
5 players that won the WAFU under 17 have failed MRI for the African tournament.

BascoVanVeli:



He can join the team after a couple games are played.

darkelf:
My own is chukwueze should play U-20. Who will be dropped for him in the senior team?

Aigbogun's problem is Aigbogun and not lack of support. He choose his U-20 by himself filled with age cheats. I'm sure he knew what he was doing then. I wonder why he hasn't been relieved of his job since.

Villarreal vs English teams: hmmmmmm, I don't think Villarreal will beat Everton or Leicester at their current form. Villarreal defence too dey porous. They defend like they are 13yrs of age. I also don't think they have the stamina to compete with the likes of Burnley, westham, crystal palace or Bournemouth. These teams will be very physical against Villarreal. But Villarreal is more technical.

Earthquake2:


Playing in the U20 won't be redundant

If we win that competition majority of the players will be picked up by decent clubs in Europe

He's not even 'needed' in the SE

Let Chukwueze join the U20 and let Henry Onyekuru and Samuel Kalu join the U23 against Sudan.

Sudan go hear hwen.
