First of all that's not the issue but the blatant double standard.

For how many years have we been getting clearance for Ademola, Ovie etc

But we got clearance for Akpoguma who rejected NIGERIA OUTRIGHTLY in a matter of weeks.

On the other hand there are 100 times more players of Nigerian origin in the UK than Germany.



Ademola turned us down when he thought he'd be next Dele Alli. After some underwhelming performance in training and some match played, he left for Leipzig with same mentality.

Boom! His form drop drastically he remembered SE. I'm happy he joined Fulham maybe he can resurrect his dieing career.

Seems Rohr want Ovie to do more!


Modified:

It's not about having 10000 eligible player. Of the thousands, how many good ones would entertain the idea of playing for us?

Akpoguma is starting in one of top 5 teams in Germany. Celebrate man, it's a beautiful something

Even if Rohr isn't German,he won't ingnore the likes of Akpoguma,Udokhai and Tonnoarigha for some English players who are only good for championship clubs....

We need to take a break from fielding mediocore English boys into our national team..

[quote author=komekn post=94654609]

By what unit of measurement do you conclude Iorfa is #### according to you. And if he is #### what then is Awaziem, Omeruo, Akpoguma and Balogun❓

Can l ask upon what have you anchored your opinion upon with regards to English Nigerian origin players.

Association in person plus interaction with Nigerian origin players in England and so you must therefore reside in England to be so strongly convinced.

Finally, has Akpoguma shown more commitment than Iorfa, Ademola, Tosin, Ovie







ABEG oga

how many of those player (English born) are playing in the premier league

caus for the record, Akpoguma is playing for German bundesliga

secondly
is he not a Nigerian?

in your first paragraph, if Iorfa was better than them, then what is he doing in the championship? Akpoguma and Balogun play at a higher level than him and most importantly they are all Nigerian internationals at the moment.
In your last paragraph, I'm guessing you also associated with Tammy, Agbonlahor, Tomori, Nedum Onuoha, Carlton Cole, John Salako, John Fashanu, Chris Armstrong, Chris Iwelumo, Ugo Ehiogu (RIP), Ross Barkley, Dele Alli and Now Saka. They are all of Nigerian origin. Please can you tell me how many of them represented Nigeria

Firstly individual performance matters more than the league ekong was good in Italy now he is championship with Watford can we say because he is in championship now are we free to undermine his ability hell no!! Iorfa has been bossing the championship for quite a while now even tosin that haven't achieved half of his achievement is in Premier how much more iorfa we all know iorfa should be in wolves if not for the Portuguese takeover of the club iorfa is a very good defender quote me anywhere

Then my last point I might know the likes of cola fashanu et al but the Alli Barkley and Saka shouldnt be mention we all know what Alli father did to him he was raised by a white folk his father have already given a bad image about Nigeria and even when he was having tough time at MK Don the Country and the fans wasn't there to encourage or motivate so am not surprised he didn't turn out for us
Barkley have a Naija grandparent I believe he doesnt know he is a naija dude grin he has spent most of his entire life in Jand he even looks like an English man so what do you expect and lastly saka from a broken heart am saying this saka is young dude very proud of his naija origin he has made this known severally from his interviews I had a chance of speaking with one of his teammates in arsenal youth team he said they all saka naija guy from what I heard he is always proud of his naija origin his heart is with England and we have to respect him like we all respect Alaba.

You are deviating from the core issue.

Akpoguma said along with his father for several years I DONT WANT TO PLAY FOR NIGERIA. I want to play for Germany.

Akpoguma has declared for Nigeria and within weeks he is FIFA cleared.

DOUBLE STANDARD

Who is better is open to debate but thats not the issue. But the unguarded broad daylight FAVORITISM.


Please don't confuse the discourse with other issues.

And if anybody doesn't find issue with that it's HYPOCRISY.

I don't know when his clearance started but even if it's 3 weeks, it's understandable because he's good enough to start for us.

We can't be wasting our resources and time on someone that is not clearly better that what we already have. It's just a common sense!

Iorfa, Tosin, Lookman all turned us down for England but none was invited for obvious reasons - not being good enough

Jordan Aiybe and Solanke said NO to us but has not been invited by England because they are of poor quality. If reverse has been the case, you would have held us by the throat

So the Portuguese takeover has kept Iorfa in the Championship for close to four seasons in a row, Ok I believe you.
Regarding the other players, of course I respect their decision to represent other nations, but Komekn is putting it in such a way as though Nigerian coaches don't reach out the players, even the Iorfa in question trained with the England senior team at some point.

Yes they are all same. We are second option but if Ansu Fati and Nketiah were to be of Nigerian decent.

In February, Nketiah said he would be open to play for us and in April, Fati made same declaration.

Benharama hasn't spend his entire career in the championship like Iorfa.... He has played in the ligue1 too..
I don't think Iorfa will have an agent so bad that he won't get a move to at least a bottom table EPL team...
And all these talks of politics at Wolves is nonsense... Wolves are at the best level ever since the premier league era! .. it's all thanks to Nuno and Jorge Mendes who have worked hard to transform the club... I'm very sure that wolves fans themselves aren't complaining of having so many Portuguese players in their squad as long as they are getting good results..
Iorfa should move!
He is in his prime already ..

He was questioning Onyeka's ability because he has been at Midttjyland first team for just 2 years+

Iorfa has been switching championship and League one for 7 years, 7 good years. Does that mean all top tier teams are too blind so the supposedly best defender?

It simply indicate that dude ain't good enough.

I'll rather have a Kevin playing actively in the bundesliga being catapulted into the team than a Viv Otabor playing in Bulgaria.
