Not starting shirt, but should be invited to vie for a place in the match-day squad.


we are on the same page bro,not that he should be given the starting shirt as soon as he gets a call up, if he is consistent and keeps performing better, with time,such player should claim the starting shirt.

Ideye, Utaka, Osaze, Taiye Taiwo and Ikpeba bossed the French league in their time ..

If Nigeria was a francophone country, we will be spoilt of choice of players playing in Europe top5 league and a pool of talented foreign born players too...

and France would stole a lot of our players...in their national team.

abeg thank God for us....

Victor Osimhen Stat at Lille: Another perspective to note

Victor Osimhen's strike against Brest in their latest league victory means he has now scored FIVE match winners for Lille in Ligue 1.

Only Lewandowski and Immobile have as much across Europe's top five leagues.

is anyone saying that they will come in and displace what we have on ground already? dont quote me out of context abeg cus i never made such insinuation
Charles baba,any player can be displaced.Aribo came in and settled down with ease.Semi is doing well now.

I remember when Ekong came in,he was damn poor but we have better Ekong now

Do we really have quality CBs? NO,so any good addition to the team is acceptable.If Fikayo pledges his allegiance are we going to say NO.

...with the way Supernerd and Kokmne analysed Iorfa quality i think he would be a good addition.

Me: I have personally been following Adebayo's showings for a while now. And I have been well aware of Tobias Lawal. So many players I keep tabs on but I don't mention them so often.




Rohr List The Two Goalkeepers He Is Scouting Ahead Of Super Eagles Games In March

A new goalkeeper might be in the squad of the senior national team of Nigeria when they regroup for their engagement next year according to coach of the team Gernot Rohr, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Rohr is presently without the services of his first choice goalkeeper Francis Uzoho who is out injured after picking up an injury in the 1-1 friendly draw against Brazil in November.

In his absence, Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi was in goal for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers games against Benin Republic and Lesotho respectively which Nigeria won 2-1 and 4-2 to begin their campaign on a sound note.

Rohr who revealed he almost played Fortuna Dusseldorf II goalkeeper Maduka Okoye in one of the games has now confirmed that he watched two goalkeepers before deciding against calling them up for the games.

”Two new goalkeepers were scouted by us and at least one would have made it but we decided against it because of some factors that I can’t tell. However we are still looking at them. One is in Israel playing regularly for a second division team Hapoel Katamon while the other plays for a team in Austria in the second division”, Rohr said.

The goalkeepers in question is the duo of Adebayo Adeleye who has been ever present for promotion chasing Israel second division side Hapoel Katamon. They are presently 3rd on the log after 13 games and he has kept goal in all but one of their games.

Tobias Lawal ‎is the other goalkeeper talked about by Rohr. The 19 year old is on the books of LASK but presently turns out for the B team of the club and he has been ever present in the team this season with 35 appearances to his name. Although born in Austria he wouldn’t be needing any document from FIFA to play for Nigeria as he is yet to play for Austria at any level.

Below are the pics of the two goalies...

Pics 3 & 4: Adebayo Adeleye (3 is recent. 4 is when he was my younger in the U-17 camp).
Are they good enough?cos keeping for 2nd division clubs in Isreal and Austria not good enough for SE,reason why i frowned at Maduka invitation.

Do we need to blame Rohr for not scounting from home ground when we have a very poor league

Well, they are in Rohr's hands. But I can speak for now on the Adeleye lad especially. He seems like a pretty good prospect. Okiki Lawal looks decent for his level too. In all, I think Rohr is keeping a keen eye on the near future of our goalkeeping position. He wants the team to have enough fine young options we can call upon in the long run so that an injury to one of our goalies do not lead us into another GK crisis.

form is not permanent. That's why continuous competition is necessary. Don't be surprised that even some of these youthful players will have a deep in form at some point. What do you do then? Still shut out other players who are showing great form at their club on the ground that we have a young team? Next year is 2020, although we hope that our players stay excellent and consistent throughout the year, it rarely happens in football. So let's keep the sentiments aside, when any of our players start to struggle or become consistent bench warmers they have to be shown the way out until they can fight their way back in the team. That is how excellence is achieved.


You did not read immediate need? For now, there is no immediate need. I did not say they should shut out anyone, that is why I said Dominic will have to bid his time.

Even those currently in the team for defense, did not just stroll in. I just said that for now, there is nowhere to put new defenders, especially CBS

do you think Dominic is better than our current CBs? I greatly disagree when you say we don't have quality CBs.

Let us stop dreaming about Fikayo, there is no scenario where Fikayo pledges allegiance to Nigeria,so, let us try to live in the reality. If you can tell us eligible players in the CB role, better than what we currently have, that would be helpful

the thing is, what we have in the team is sufficient.

This isn't five years ago, when most of the team had aged considerably, this is a youthful team, so one would have to work twice as hard to get into thiss team, and to be sincere, the immediate needs are a midfielder and a striker, the defense has no immediate need, so, Dominic will be chilling for a while.

No, u are wrong here, what we have isn't sufficient enough. We should be looking to improve the team at every given opportunity. If Iorfa or anyone else comes in to prove better than what we already have, then the inferior one should step aside.


I am excited about the prospect of having Iorfa and I would also welcome any of the German boys. Nothing wrong with having a competitive large pool to keep each and every competitor on his toes.




BTW, I don't rate calamity Omeruo

I'll be happy if Dominic Iorfa Jnr. is invited. He has always been a good player.

I saw a few of his games for Wolves in 2015 and I was impressed. Then he played as a right back. He has lots of energy, runs tirelessly, very mobile & fast with good recovery.

He also physically strong, has positional awareness and is not easily beaten. His crosses and passes were the only weaknesses I noticed then.

I havent watched him recently but if his recent stats are anything to go by, he deserves to be invited.

I have always wanted him in the Super Eagles fold but was only pissed he K-I-Ved us.

He was ok then as a right back, I was more impressed with Hull's Odubajo, though.

Take it from me, Dom Iorfa has improved. The lad could get his chance with our Super Eagles soon. He just has to be a little more patient and keeo doing what he is doing now at Sheffield.

It would be okay adding an Iorfa to our pool. We do have nice CB options but the more we have, then the deeper our pool and choices.

All this is good fantasy but I hope at least the Mbappe, Chuks part come true. wink
