They would not want Rohr to drop Onyekuru either. Ask them which winger Rohr should drop between Kalu,Musa, Onyekuru and Simon
From the 5 wingers in that team Chukwueze is the least likely to make the AFCON
Good enough arrangements are already being made for him to join the Flying Eagles.

Someone wants Onyekuru dropped here.

tbaba1234:


Uzoho, Akpeyi, Ezenwa;

Collins, Ekong, Balogun, Shehu, Aina, Omeruo, Awaziem,

Etebo, Ndidi, Ogu, Mikel, Iwobi, Ajayi,

Musa, Kalu, Onyekuru, Chukwueze, Osimhen, Onuachu, Ighalo.

You dropped Simon for Chukwueze? Simon is even more likely to make AFCON than Onyekuru talkless of Chukwueze.

With our last two games, Onyekuru has made a bold statement as a member of that team.

Simon has been down the pecking order since after the WC. Onyekuru starts ahead of him now.

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

Who are these players? I thought they did one before the last tournament.

Exactly!

nelszx:


When France took a teenager to the world cup ahead of already established players who raised brows? Because they have seen the potential of Mbappe and guess what the teenagers contribution helped France become world champions.
We should be playing players based on current form not based on what they have done. Rsshford today starts ahead of Callum Wilson.
To me oo Chukwueze will be our joker going to the AFCON any player who isn't in form should be dropped. Dude play both as RWB and a RW with a left foot. Very scarce entity with Messi and Robben with a better left foot.

Villarreal on Europa has defeated Zenith St Petersburg, Sporting Lisbon, topped their table with teams like Rangers, Spartak Moscow and Rapid Vienna and you tell me they won't beat Everton. Baba no make me vex

My humble opinion: He should be taken to the AFCON

Everton has better players than those teams. You saw what they did to Chelsea.

forgiveness:

Yes, they will do tests before every tournament.

The goalkeeper and fullbacks are out.

You saw a resurgent Simon in our last AFCON game right?

That aside, you know how Simon missed the WC despite his immense contributions during the Qualifiers. Sir, team management is important, Simon will make the AFCON.

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.

At U17 talent is simply potential yet to be realised.

At U20 you should be playing first team football, if indeed your exceptional talent has been confirmed to be not just potential.

Exceptional U20 players will not be playing academy football or B team. If they are in a big team they will go on loan and make thier claim for first team football from thier loan time in smaller club.

Classic examples are Rúben Loftus C., Tega Abrahams, Reis Nelson.

Essentially what l am saying is you stake your claim for selection into the national U20 set up not BT past glories. But present continous progression into the first team football. Not academy youth football.

Against Seychelles?? He scored but there was not much else to label him resurgent.

If Mikel is unavailable, sure i will put him in my team.

The fact that he scored, and the way he scored despite playing just few minutes is a major boost for him.

Andrew, Curtis, Earthquake and co. Have you seen how matured people argue?
The senior men of the thread have taken over again.

The best thing for Chukwueze is to go and play the U20 world cup, country football is different from club football, he has played only 45 minutes for the Super Eagles in a friendly match, if he goes to AFCON he would mostly play as an impact substitution, which may reduce his impact, he also just has a season of top flight football under his belt. Mbappe who he is being compared to,had two seasons of top flight football before taken to the world cup. Chukwueze is a very high quality player no doubt and am writing this as one of his biggest fans

tbaba1234:


Samu offers something that simply does not exist in the super eagles right now. Natural left footed attacking players offer something different.

When Onyekuru, Musa and Kalu trouble the Barca defence in a competitive game, we can talk about upgrade. Those players are not obviously better.

Haba! Musa has played in the UEFA champions League for a decade against best clubs in top leagues. Please, let us give him that little respect.

However, I don't mind Rohr takes Chukwueze to the AFCON because his stats this season in the la Liga speaks for him but I doubt Rohr will drop players that contributed to the qualifiers for him.

Honestly speaking, he deserves to go to the AFCON.

Yes, Musa has had many Champions league nights but i have not seen him dominate a top side's defence like Samu did, the other. No disrespect to Musa.

that's because amongst the 5 wingers onyenkuru comes last when it comes to stamina and physique necessary for Africa football

Golden Eaglets camp in disarray as MRI knocks out 5 key players

Ahead of the U-17 African Cup of Nations holding in Tanzania in a few days time, five key players of the Nigeria Golden Eaglets have failed the MRI test according to our reporter in Abuja.
The Manu Garba-led side emerged Champions in the WAFU qualifying series but were unable to conduct the MRI test on the players months ago before the competition due date.
However, after the test was conducted on Friday, 5 key players from the team that qualified the country for the African Youth Championship in Tanzania have been knocked out.
The players affected are:

Goalkeeper – JOHN IKEDINACHUKWU AMAH

defender – MUHAMMED IBRAHIM

midfielders – HASSAN HUSEINI, BABATUNDE AKINSOLA JIMOH

Forward – FAVOR AKEM
One of the players knocked out by the MRI test who pleaded anonymity confirmed the situation to our source in Abuja on Friday afternoon a few minutes after the exercise.

Add 8 to the 3 goalkeepers and you will get 11. How do you pick the remaining 12 players?

at last I agree with these yr assertion...but will the lad be released by his club?
considering the fact that at the time the WYC will kick off is same period the La Liga will be in hot stage especially for the top 5 bottom teams and top 5 top teams.....

sure now... the Lateef Omo guy I mean the feyernood kid and the Chelsea lad are obviously 14 years old.
just so painful but I trust him and his backroom staffs to scale through the hurdle

I foresaw this problem arising a long time ago

but I still fear for the lad physique and stamina when it comes to Africa football...
anyway no hard feelings tho..Samuel Chukwueze cam be dropped to the Under 20

it happened with manu garba and his team some years back....
since then I believe every reasonable coach ought to have a plan B... over reliance on some foreign based players and their failure to show up for the team camping early enough partly cost the team so much in that new zealand tourney
