Subzero047:I tell you, i dont think there is any player of recent memory who has done that. Most of us here underrate ighalo and see where his perseverance has take him to. |

Subzero047: How? U sure are one of those who think everything good about the black man must happen through a white man. Ighalo is going to United on the interim though, bkus he is more or less a proven EPL striker, not bkus Rohr is his national team coach, he deserves the full credit for this success, dont try crediting it to someone else. 3 Likes |

Subzero047: Can u name the two tournaments? Did he not deserve his place in the team? So how exactly did Rohr help him? |

andrewbaba44: Then, he aint gonna have that record as the first super eagles player to play for Man United, since the move came after his retirement from the national team. Nawa oo. I pray he rescinds his decision, even say na only one match him play for us as a United player mbok |

ChrisKels: People (like you) were pressuring Rohr to experiment with Osimhen in the qualifiers as it was almost certain we would qualify But Rohr kept faith with Ighalo in the qualifiers and in the main tournament 1 Like 1 Share |

ChrisKels: If Rohr had played 3-4 strikers in the qualifiers and the tournament would Ighalo had finished top scorer? All those reviewing his resume mentioned those statistics so don't make this a black man - white man thing 1 Like 1 Share |

Subzero047: In the qualifiers? How many call ups did Osimhen get in the qualifiers for people like you to pressurise Rohr to play him as our main striker? Do you even know when the qualifiers started and when Osimhen started finding his feet at Charleroi? I ask again, which two tournaments was Ighalo crowned the goal king, courtesy of Rohr's favouritism abi helping hand? |

ChrisKels: Of course he deserves some credit. If he had been thinking like people like u Ighalo would still be in China. Yes he is a proven prem player but the AFCON gave him the platform to prove that he still has something in his tank and without Rohr that would absolutely never happen. No other coach would have the balls to call back Ighalo. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Subzero047: Stop making incoherent statements, did Man United sign Ighalo because of his goals haul against those log of woods? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by ChrisKels: 10:08am On Feb 01, 2020 |
BascoVanVeli: I actually thought u would know better, did Rohr have any better choice? Ighalo was the best choice, hence, it was no brainer. Nacho was misfiring, Osimhen was unproven, it would have been preposterous contemplating leaving Ighalo behind cobsidering his form prior the tourney. U think Rohr the messiah would have looked his way if he was misfiring? |

Subzero047: And why would any reasonable coach play 3-4 strikers while his main striker hasnt been found guilty of profligacy? He earned those stats, they were not given to him by Rohr, in fact, Man United would think his stats a fluke if they viewed it through this same lens as u, and the deal would have probably not gone through |

ChrisKels: Did u accept that decision at the time? So China is no more a useless league? Didn't you post a Mikel interview in a bid to discredit Ighalo? Onuachu and Simy were double digit scorers at the time btw 2 Likes 1 Share |

ChrisKels: Rohr didn't listen to clamors from people like you that's why he kept faith with him in the qualifiers and in the tournament proper Don’t turn around to be Ighalo's no 1 defender, it is well documented what you said against him in this thread 2 Likes 1 Share |

BascoVanVeli: This isnt about Chris and what his stance was, this is about Ighalo, his stats and merits. I never kicked against his inclusion because i wasnt sold on Onuachu. Yes i called his chinese exploit a fluke but we had no better options. Hey, i have never rated Simmy, also he never had any double digits |

ChrisKels:Simy scored double digits last season but I give u that point. Still u can be honest in saying that if Rohr drops Ighalo for Simy no one would have bated an eye. Your stance was the stance of most Nigerians. Imagine if a local coach had to make that decision? His wife might stop cooking for him sef . I remember being at the first training session Ighalo had before playing Libya. Every reporter I talked to was against his inclusion. There was more pressure on Rohr to drop him than to select him. If it had backfired it could have cost Rohr his job so u can't say Rohr doesn't deserve credit in this situation 2 Likes 1 Share |

andrewbaba44: First Nigerian, born in Nigeria - Yes First ex Nigerisn international - Yes First Nigerian origin player - No, this belongs to Fred Okoro Nkwo, way back before the WW2. But i want something more than this, I want a current super eagles player donning that red shirt, and since Ighalo is already there, I want him back with the eagles mbok. Imagine say we release a list, and the status of the invited strikers are like..; - Ighalo Manchester United - Iheanacho Leicester City - Osimhen Lille Metropole If na u be the opponent, fear no go catch u? 1 Like |
