It seems like majority of the people who want Moses and Ighalo back are saying it out of sentiments...
Because I still can't see what they have to offer that our present corp of players can't...


Imagine one giving reference to Moses afcon 2013 exploit when we are in 2020?

Their recalled would have been welcomed if we lack decent qualities in the team but judging by the talents we boast of currently I see no space for both

If I were to be Rohr I will even force Musa and balogun to early retirement

Get ready Elun.ico. wink

For your re-match with Komekn is about to start.

Unless ofcos he doesn't show up for this fixture. Meaning he allowed this goal enter. grin










Hahahhahaha!

He won't come at me with so much fury as usual, I said nice things about his beloved - Tammy, this time.

If he still wants to square up against me, he'd definitely get bruised, I can guarantee that.

Available options**
1) Osimhen
2) Iheanacho
3) Simon
4) Chukwueze
5) Kalu
6) Onyekuru
7) Musa
cool Onauchu
9) Dessers
10) Umar
11) Nwaekeme
12) Ejuke
13) Iwobi
14) Kayode


Up for grabs**

15) Saka
16) Eze




Available options**
1) Osimhen - good quality yet to be proven at Higher quality Seria A.
2) Iheanacho - EPL flop
3) Simon - Good
4) Chukwueze - 3 goals in 37 games, a lot of development work required.
5) Kalu - Ok but not outstanding
6) Onyekuru - Good but unproven at Higher level
7) Musa - EPL flop
cool Onauchu - unable to justify selection from games played in the SE
9) Dessers. - untested at a higher level
10) Umar - very low quality league ( village champion)
11) Nwaekeme - untested at a higher level
12) Ejuke - untested at a higher level
13) Iwobi - midfielder
14) Kayode - Good potential but untested in SE opportunity not given.


None of these players has attained the level of Ighalo and none of them is better than him. The only player able to contend is Osimhen.

We talk about players in form, what will be Osimhen form in the much more quality and competitive Seria A.

He will not be the focal point of the team and with a ball played into space and or over the top of defenders for him to run onto as the main strategy will simply not work in Seria A. This league is well know for defending and closing spaces.

This is a test that Ighalo has already passed with flying colours, PROVEN, TESTED and CONFIRMED.

If we bring Vic Moses into the equation none of them has played at his level and or exceeded his ability.

Oga go and sleep. Rome wasn't built in a day. They re unproven to you buh still good enough for the super eagles coach who calls them up always

I am so glad 80% of this players you mentioned are doing their thing in Europe top 5 leagues, they re in their early 20s so the room for improvement is evident. When iggy was in their age didn't achieve half of what these young guns hv achieved.

I want to remind you once again that osimhen currently is the most expensive signing in the history of Nigerian football. If he wasn't doing something right Napoli won't risk such amount to bring him on board

Boss I don't see Moses as a competition to the current set of wingers we hv.

When you are talking of competition then you to make reference to the likes of Ejuke, onyekuru and dennis who re yet to get a proper chance in the team not a Vic Moses who hv passed his prime

He should be grateful to Conte who made him relevant again by signing him for inter. A team where Ashley Young is doing pretty well says it all cheesy cheesy

Agreed!
charlesemeka85:
oga that was 2013 and you forgot to admit the fact that we re in 2020 and also Vic MO is not as good as he was

At a time players like Zidane, Ronaldo lima, Figo, Beckham, del pierro, Totti etc all retired from their various national team allowing younger players to carry on from where they left. Even when our own Jay Jay retired we still moved on so I see no reason we should be clamouring for the return of Moses and Ighalo when we are blessed with talented young players in top leagues in Europe doing decently well.

I am a big fan of Moses and felt bad when he retired unexpectedly but sentiment aside he is not better than what we boast of in the flanks recently. I will never pick Moses ahead of chukwueze, Simon or even kalu based on current form and stat. It doesn't make sense recalling a player who is not even at his best and almost clocking 30 when we have younger players in their early 20s who re performing far better

Adarabioyo will wow you the first day you see him play I assure you that. Dude is very smooth in his tackles, off the ball movement and passes. He is very similar to van dyke which is the reason i call him a low budget version of the Liverpool defender.

And also for his height he is very mobile. I can't wait for him to be capped soon.

Sentiment aside I rate him ahead of tomori, uduokhai and iorfa jnr

Didn't Ighalo take the place of older, better and retired players in the team?

Assumptive delusion based on sentimental preference.

Osimhen is not more skilful and or technically astute than Ighalo. Victor main attribute is pace.

Victor has not completed two seasons of first team competitive football. So there are many lessons to learn his early good start does not guarantee top quality perfomance in the future.

Victor is doing great at the moment. If he flops in future, we will replace him as we have replaced Ighalo and Vicmo.

Ighalo has zero goal/assist in the said higher level league. Even wastedmen Lingard and Solanke has better stat. We don't dwell in donkey years ago, his exploit in EPL before the current season is past tense!

Oh if na age matter I for gree my man but I can tell you that Omeruo and likely Awaziem are older than Balogun.

Pls which one be federal character again or are you saying Rohr is collecting bribe.

All Ahmed Musa need is to go back to European league again,forget all these Oyekwuru,Kalu hypes,may be Chuckwueze would be able to do it I don't know...

My man playing for Inter at his age is a plus and seeing a manager like Conte believe in him is a plus too.

Are you saying seria A is a backwater league seeing Moses and Ashley Young doing well for Inter.

Truly I wish Mikel, Ighalo and Moses happy retirement.
