Re: SE v South Africa: Here is what is troubling....

usually the FIFA windows allow for at least two matches, and camps to be conducted. Some of our players have shorter seasons than others. I think the USMNT model for friendlies and camps are pretty good. Home based players and players with more obscure seasons (winter breaks, early season ends etc....

Re: Corsica Camp: SE OfficiaL List of Invitees Released.....

Its been noted a few of the players still have commitments with their club side, hence some changes to the squad, however the only glaring omission would be Onyekuru, beyond that one would understand its a training camp. Meanwhile Complete Sport lead with the headline,"Rohr Invites Odey, Osimhe...

Re: Players Speculated for SE CAMP

I read somewhere that Onyekuru was invited. It will be tantamount to an aberration if benchwarmers in the likes of Kelechi ,Musa and players from Nigeria league are invited but our most prolific scorer currently in Europe is omitted.. That should be a very good reason for Rohr to be relieved of thi...

Re: TAMMY ABRAHAM SNUBS NIGERIA

Its an u20 tournament for one and if I am not mistaken, he was with this team whilst Chuba Akpom and Ola Aina trained with us, might as well finish the process. In the meantime, how do we know what is happening in the background. However whilst we are salivating over him, how many goals do you guys ...

Re: TAMMY ABRAHAM ✭ THE TERMINATOR ✭ Skills & Goals ✭ 2016-2

I dont think I am reaching here, but I just had a look at Ola Aina's insta page, he has a pic of him with Iheanacho in Training gear. If you look at the comments you see Tammy salute him on this, I have a feeling that Tammy must surely be in the works.

Re: TAMMY ABRAHAM ✭ THE TERMINATOR ✭ Skills & Goals ✭ 2016-2

Still think Abraham would be an upgrade on everyone we've played as a striker in the past couple of years. Iheanacho is ahead od him, possibly Osimhen, but he would be a great take. As great a fan of Osimhen that I am, I'm not quite sure how he can be said to be 'ahead' of Abraham in his football d...

Re: When is too soon! Ejaria, Nwakali et al......

I'll believe the kids are for Nigeria when they don the jersey. They are actively playing for England's youth teams yet we're asking for when we'll call them to SE. I'd say they are waiting for the England door to close first regardless of what they say or their family says. Aside from the issue of...

Now we have been having this debate for a while now and it seems that we are not the only ones. My view is to have maybe 3 or so of these kids at any one point in time as it lets them know we have them in our sights and to get a feel of the team and culture. If they are good enough, they can push fo...

Re: The Arsenal FC-Related News & Developments for 2016/2017

Arsenal will definitely go through a period of instability if and when Wenger leaves. One reason, why I want Wenger for at least another 2 seasons is the need for a succession plan to prevent Arsenal going the direction of ManU.

Re: Do Nigerians hate Ghanaians

Nah we dont, its all love, personally I will not hear the end of it if Ghana won. A couple of my close friends are Ghanians and they never fail to remind me when Afcon starts Nigeria is not there, so when Afcon ends I remind them who won.
