ikedia is a wastepipe

please, why is pius ikedia included in the squad. He is too short, gets muscled off the ball too easily, and has no ball control. The only thing good about him is that he is really fast, but he has no skills, maybe he should represent Nigeria in the upcomming olympics in Athens as a sprinter. He is a wasted space that should be filled by Oruma, Ogbeche, Obodo, Kalu. Watching him play at the last world cup was a disgrace.

...so are you saying that he will not be able to play for Sharks?

This na true I can´t agree,he really impressed me at the last world cup but I would not rate him over Oruma or Obodo or even Uche but he is not a wastepipe.

He is fast player and he is the only naija player who has this skill so he fills a gap that needed to be filled

Ikedia is very skilfull. I can't believe you said he 'has no skills'.

a skillful headless chicken, i just watched the friendly against Scotland pre 2002 world cup, in one of his trademark moves, he took the ball and circled the centre circle and attempted to take a shot on goal, it ended up as a throw-in for Scotland and no it was not deflected!!!

Whether you all like it or not, Ikedia will be at the ANC....and for your information he is highly rated by those in the camp and expected to play a crucial role in the team similar to what Aghahowa did in 2000..go figure..

I will be watching those of you complaining now to see what your reactions would be should we do well in Tunisia...some of you just need to give it a rest and save your grief for after the ANC...

I can't believe anyone will say Ikedia has no skills...unbelievable..

@DIMKA76..why don't you mention the fact his cross led to the winning goal in that Scotland game...

Ikedia has been having what i think is his best season since moving to Europe. I'd rather see him in the side than Tijiani Babangida.

He is very short to be in the national team and still playing high school soccer.

What is wrong with that?

Overmans is short and plays for Barcelona.

He never looks up when he goes on one of those headless chicken runs of his until he bumps into an opponent or team mate.

Ikedia is a primary school dribbler. I am not sure of him, and I hope he can proove me wrong.

That might only be a one game fluke probably against Benin.

I just wonder if any of you guys have actually watched Ikedia play for RBC roosendal this season. Thanks to fox sports world i've been able to see a couple of his games and he seemed much more mature , did his fair share of tackling

Mr Dolly, the said cross was actually a miss-kick, it was so deep that agahowa who was running from deep was all on his own. It was simply put A FLUKE!!!

MD:

Ask the critics to please list their preferred list of 22. I bet their will be numerous holes and none of them will venture to put such a list in front of the public.

Ikedia's football has matured. The guy is a terror on the wing and I like the fact that he has learned to attack from different angles on the right.

Hopefully, CCC will use him appropriately.
