Nobody buy this your boy

charlesemeka85:
Rangers, Southampton, Aston villa and few championship clubs are keen on having him. His contract with Charlton expires at the end of the month

Oasis007:
Simon is Winger, some Arguments ain't worth it to be honest. It's a fantasy expecting Simon to thrive as an AM or a SS. He's better off as a Winger.

The best we've got now is Iwobi. Mikel ain't mobile as he was when he came into limelight, thus we've got to rely on Iwobi as a creative Player in the Squad.

forgiveness:

Rohr has confirmed that one striker will be dropped. The other player could be a defender.

Super Eagles 3-5-2 Formation : Rohr Planning To Deploy Kalu, Simon As Wing-Backs In 2019 AFCON

Super Eagles 3-5-2 Formation : Rohr Planning To Deploy Kalu, Simon As Wing-Backs In 2019 AFCON
Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has hinted that Levante's Moses Simon and Bordeaux's Samuel Kalu will be deployed as left and right wing-backs respectively at the Africa Cup of Nations, if he goes with a 3-5-2 formation.

Simon was regularly deployed as a wing-back last season by Levante coach Paco López and Kalu was used as a makeshift right wing-back in the Super Eagles 1-1 draw against South Africa last November.

''We have them (strikers) but we have to drop one of them. Don't forget that we have wingers who can play as fullbacks like we did against South Africa with Kalu who was on the right side, right fullback and a winger the same time,'' Rohr said at Thursday's press conference attended by allnigeriasoccer.com.

''When we play 3-5-2 like we did against Iceland at the World Cup or we did in South Africa, there's also a possibility for Simon Moses to play like he did in his club, on the left side, so we have full backs which is also very good to know tactically.

''And then we have three strikers, Ighalo the goalscorer, we have Osimhen who did well with his club and is one for the future and we have one tall one.

''It is good for me but it is sometimes difficult for me to choose players. But I'm happy to have this good quality, so let's go with offensive spirit to the AFCON because we want to win our games.''

Apart from Kalu and Simon, the other wingers named to Nigeria's provisional roster are Ahmed Musa, Henry Onyekuru, Samuel Chukwueze and the versatile Arsenal star Alex Iwobi.

Iwobi loves Nigeria too much

I wonder where he got that kind of patriotism

chrisooblog:
balogun is different he has arguably been the best defender in the super Eagles since Rohr took over in our last match against Egypt he was good on the other hand k c has been poor for club and country

forgiveness:


He refused to renew his contract. Has an offer from a Seria A club.

Bolowolowo:
Let me digress from the Eagles for a bit and wish good luck to our Super Falcons tomorrow as they square off w/ the Norwegians.

Hopefully the copious amounts of preparation that they underwent will pay off.

This Mali team na never say die o.

10 man still playing 2-2.

BascoVanVeli:


He had his moments that you guys are voluntarily forgetting about. Ighalo saved him against Libya in Tunisia because that was a school boy error on the second goal.

chrisooblog:
1 or 2 mistakes in how many matches please just free Leon from this matter

BascoVanVeli:


Kenneth Omeruo made one mistake against South Africa but did people free him? What has Leon won for the national team that would make him untouchable?
