What makes him a gem

Because he plays in Bundesliga 2?

Your post which I quoted was that we should not be looking at Bundesliga2 because we have players in top leagues. As if the so called players are some of the best in the world and playing in top clubs gunning for trophies.

We have enough defenders in the top leagues not to look at Bundesliga league 2 again

I did not mention the word INVITE...i just said he is eligilble...what if tomorrow he grows to play wonderful football and gets promoted to Bundesliga 1...should we not invite him or do we leave him out because he started in Bundesliga 3...?

This young man could grow to be bigger than Chairman Chukwu,Keshi,Nwanu....where he started does not matter...

Come to think of it..it is even better for our players to learn in lower Bundesliga teams before coming up...we have not really been successful with players going directly to Bundesliga teams...Okocha came up from Bundesliga 2 too,Akpoborire too, Ojigwe toiled and toiled...Ujah was somewhat different...we have not really excelled so much in Bundesliga 1..compared to Spanish,French,Belgium,Italian and Dutch teams where Nigerians played

It not really a big issue. His EPL season is over.
If he were to do this in conjuction with Afcon training or games, that's a whole different ball game.

We have enough defenders in the top leagues not to look at Bundesliga league 2 again

I have always said I have preference for a outstanding consistent top performing player in a lower league than a anonymous one in a top league or club.

Which of our defenders have been consistently outstanding in the top 5 leagues of Europe beyond making up the numbers and or occasionally mentioned as having a good performance.

Please name one

You like this Aribo guy

I've not seen him play, Is he good?

Watched him since he was 14 at City not particularly impressive. This is first season on loan, he has not been outstanding just about ok.

He is way below Fikayo Tomori in all departments.

good players have made the leap from league one to the epl and did pretty well. dele alli,joe gomes and ademola lookman are good examples

That substantiates my position, l will rather have an outstanding top performing consistent player in a lower league and club. Than an anonymous mouse in a top club and league.

Dele Alli went from MK Dons straight to Tottenham and England first team in one season literally.

I once said it here...I pick Dele as a player to replace mikel in that Midfield when he retires.

he is a good CM...

Very very premature to make that deduction.

Until he starts playing first team football on loan or in Man city, it's all just potential. NOTHING ELSE.

The step up from youth football is not always that easy.

Currently we need more central defender in the team to tighten things up in that position. It seem getting tomori to play for us will be a tough one but the nff and Rohr should not give up on him.

Felix udokhai and tosin adarabioyo are another two that has the qualities to be top defenders in the nearest feature and should be sounded out once again. Getting them seem more realistic than tomori who is highly rated and monitored by the English fa.

After the afcon, the nff and Rohr if he remains with the team should build towards infusing decent young talents to the team with 2022 world the sole target. Mikel, balogun and ighalo's days are numbered and need to be replaced.

The likes of oshimeh, awoniyi and onuachu should fight for ighalo's position after afcon

Adarabioyo and udokhai should battle for balogun spot

I forsee any of offorbour and bashiru having a good outing in Poland and will be touted to be heir to our aging skipper mikel

Also some good players will emerge from the U23 Team with the likes of Bonaventure Dennis and Okereke already in Rohr's sight

Other players such as ebere eze,ovie ejaria, bonke, Abdul zubairu, igbekeme, onomah should be closely monitored

I really don't use U23 competitions to assess progression it's indicative at best of potential.

Once a player gets to 19 he should really be playing first team football if he has good quality. Anything less means there are question marks about his abilities.

If you are in top team with limited opportunities then you need to go on loan. Tega Abrahams loan moves have made him arguably the best young striker in the England the same goes for Fikayo Tomori possibly best young central defender in England too.

Either Semi Ajayi or Chidozie Awaziem will be dropped. Both are fighting for the RB position.



Iheanacho, Onuacha or Osimhen will be dropped. They are fighting for striker slot.
