Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

They are now saying Awoniyi has made the squad.

A very poor decision, considering he has barely played any football at all, and has never been a key part of the team.

I have never been sold on Awoniyi.

Re: Michael Olise left out of France Euros squad

Next up is Eze, Tosin, Tomori. These guys never learn. It’s too late for Eze, Tomori and Tammy. They’ve been had. Tosin is still holding out but I don’t think he has much of a chance with England. But I guess a young man has a right to dream. I believe Eze may still be eligible. Isn't it now a cuto...

We wait and see but I hope they don’t turn our beloved SE to a market for HB players You already know that is exactly what is going to happen.

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

Might it also be that putting a European based player on standby means his European club will likely conjure some ojoro and refuse to release him on a few days notice in the middle of preparing for a match or a tour somewhere? But calling up a homebased winger to replace Chukwueze sounds like compl...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

So Owngoal is saying that a homebased winger will replace Chukwueze if he doesn't recover from injury. And this is how we will fail to qualify. Nonsense like this.

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

Finidi would be making a huge mistake if he invites a lot of new players at this stage. He has to fight off the selfish agents. Any one that didnt play for Nigeria at Afcon or in the two friendlies shouldn't be invited. You don't have time to experiment. You wouldn't be "experimenting" if...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA

EII To say Boniface has underwhelmed in SE shirt may be a bit premature. He hasn't played that much tbh, although it's true he never really stood out. Remember that Lookman had a much longer run of games without really catching fire, and now he was probably the best player at the afcon other than Tr...

He will be increase the defensive solidity.
Also him and Calvin play together in Fulham. So the chemistry will be beneficial
We know this.

But at 26 he still has aspirations of singing "God savethe King" for pitch.

Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move

The team is already there for Finidi.

He has been with them for 2 years. There is no need to deviate very much from Peseiros team. He just needs to plug a hole or two.

If he wants to be successful he will stick with mostly the same team.

Sorry but Chukwueze is too one footed to even be considered. He rarely beats his man anymore.

Good to get a feel of the guy. I like the fact that he took the step to move to Enyimba when he felt he wasn't making progress at Mallorca. And also his decision to make time for his children. He moved back in 2021. For the "corruption case squad", where are his antecedents for being corr...
