This may be a digression. What do you guys think about inviting Umar Sadiq to the Super Eagles. Maybe as replacement for Onuachu, to add more competition to the attack. Just musing....

safarigirl:


Who do you think Dessers is replacing? Or, you have not heard?

If not for transfer ban,who will be looking at the academy boys self ??

I just Dy look Lampard...this season will pass like that for him . His status as a Chelsea legend won't stop Abrahimovic from sacking him if he doesn't deliver next season..and to do that,he needs quality players...
Now, Chukwueze isn't exactly proven and is still very much work in progress,but those academy boys at Chelsea are nowhere better than him... He didn't get nominated for the golden boy award for nothing.. I believe his stat this season will be better if he wasn't being kept on the bench...

TheSuperNerd:
You're not digressing as long as it concerns the Super Eagles. That's primarily what the thread is meant for, not so?

Now to address your musing, my brother, like Safarigirl have answered, that replacement is CYRIEL KOLAWOLE DESSERS.

Umar Sadiq is doing well for himself but needs to step up from Serbia to a higher league. I understand Besiktas came in for him but he kinda rejected Turkey. As things stands, he is still considering his options.

Also, I understand he is among the uncapped options on Rohr's radar but it will take some doing for him to bag an invite coz we got this Super Eagles Striker hierarchy at the moment:

- Osimhen
- Iheanacho
- Dessers
- Maja

There is a fifth name and Sadiq can make it his. Perhaps an injury can open up a chance of an invite for the lad soon. Time will tell.

Hope your musing have been served now. Now follow Tolu's advice and dream well. Dream that we lift the Qatar 2022 WC title.

As reported by BBC Sport, I hope Rohr is not already finding excuses for a failure that is yet to happen. "We are not the best team in Africa" blablabla. What kind of excuse is that? I kinda agree with NFF's decision to tie this contract to the next Afcon championship and world cup qualification, as some of us have been suggesting here. If he cannot deliver, it's either he's not technically good enough or he's not ambitious enough(talent is not a problem). Whichever is the case, thank him for getting us this far, fire him and get someone better. .

Thank you. It was only 8pm at the time this was posted.

Where we go come put dessers nah ?

TheSuperNerd:
The Journos are just taking Rohr's words out of context. Anyone who watched the Rohr interview with Colin Udoh on IG live will see that he only said that (We are not the best team in Africa) to show that winning the Afcon won't be a walk in the park. Rohr never said we cannot or will not win the Afcon.

As usual, many will fall for this. It's just clickbait. I know Rohr have used the "young team" excuse before at Russia 2018 where we were the youngest side at the WC and at Afcon 2019 where we were the second youngest side at the Afcon but to be fair to him as regards that interview, he did acknowledge that we should try to win the Afcon and also make a fine impact at the WC.

I watched the interview and have recordings of it.

benji93:
I have just watched the interview as well. He did say that we are not the best in the world, and we are the third in Africa. So, what was he implying? remember Udoh's question was regarding the condition that he wins the Afcon and qualify for the world cup. Is he implying that if we come third, it's just fine? Besides, there was no exaggeration in the report by BBC sport, Africa. He referred to some of the teams like Cameroon and Morocco, that were eliminated earlier in the last tourney. I do not understand what that means if not an excuse ahead of the next Afcon. If you cannot win, then you must have come short in your decisions, some of which could be technical. My main point is I am in support of such an inclusion in his contract NFF should have ambitious too, as he suggested. If he does not win his contract should be terminated. No excuses such as we played well but we did not win, the cohesion between the boys is getting better now, so maybe give him more time blablabla.

Well I think umar Sadiq is loved here

But the strikers we have are better than him

His time will come as he is still very young

TheSuperNerd:
^^^^^^^^
@Isahalbash

I got wind of same news again today. This Napoli news just won't go away. The pendulum keeps shifting. Will he stay at Lille or will he make the jump this summer? Only the player knows.

Time will tell.

TheGoodJoe:


If the chance comes, Chuks should jump on it. Sane is going and he is someone that has similar playing style with Sane. He can fit in well but he should know like Sane, he will not get a steady run of games.

Not to worry, enough KNOWLEDGE to SOAK.

Isahalbash:



Napoli is not bad at all in my opinion.

TheSuperNerd:
I agree it won't be a bad move. Just that for me, it is my second preference. My first preference is for Vic to remain at Lille one more season then make the jump to a much bigger side than even Napoli.
But again, joining Napoli now which is definitely a better and bigger side than Lille, doing well and establishing himself in Italy will also inevitably attract much bigger sides too. Either ways, I see good but the Napoli option is my second preference. Anyway, time will tell.

Danielnino00:
Your decision?

Bora - Definitely a second chance. Spain were the favourites in our group in France 98 and a journalist in Port Harcourt asked him if the Super Eagles were scared to meet the fierce Spain, his reply, "Spain Should Be Scared Of Us."

Just for his confidence, I will give him another chance.

Lagerback - Definitely asking him for a refund because he could have achieved way more and looked like an NFF Puppet.

Berti Vogtz - Preparing to sue. Men that dude deserves a verdict to strip him naked and flogged in the centre of the National stadium to set example for the next coach not to fox with us. (Joke O!)

This man allowed Aiyegbeni miss countless goals while keeping Obafemi on the bench when Obagoal was in brutal form. Most especially the Nations Cup game against Benin Republic. Even though Aiyegbeni scored, in sane situations he should have been taking off long time before that goal. The misses were criminal.

andrewbaba44:


Please the academy boys are not good enough

It’s an insult to compare them with Chuks okay

We are here arguing about Chuks and pulisic and here you are bringing out the unproven academy boys
