NFF rekindles interest in Aogo, Onuoha, others

THE technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) plans to pursue the country's interest in some players of Nigerian descent after the South Africa 2010 World Cup qualifier against Tunisia following FIFA's decision to quash age limit of players who want to change national allegiance.

Under the former rules, players with dual nationality, who had already played for one country's national team at youth level, were not allowed to switch loyalties after their 21st birthday. That rule was changed on Wednesday in the Bahamas when the FIFA Congress removed the age limit, opening the way for many players to get a second chance in international football.

According to an NFF technical committee member, who pleaded anonymity, the board will look at the suitability of some of the players of Nigerian descent for coach Shaibu Amodu's team and advise the coach to add them to his programme.

"It is too late to begin to talk of new players for the team now because preparations for the games against Kenya and Tunisia have reached advanced stage. But we will surely pursue the case after the game against Tunisia," the source said.

Hamburg of Germany star, Dennis Aogo, and West Ham's Carlton Cole were once invited to the Super Eagles only to be ruled out by the old FIFA law. Other players that may get the committee's attention include Manchester City's Nedum Onuoha and Newcastle's Shola Ameobi.

Shola Ameobi is used goods. Spit throway. The only prospect that interests me in England is Victor Moses. Period. We can continue our pursuit of Denise Aogo but will he blend easily into the Nigerian team? I do not think so.

There is nothing wrong with the report, that is what i expect the Technical Commitee to be doing in co-operation with the technical crew. Common M15 let us try to be objective for once, look at the bigger picture there is nothing wrong here. Yes the PTF is an intruder and will always be, they have no role to play. I dont blame them sha in Nigeria we gather a bunch on jobless people teogether and keep them busy with the task of destroying the nation with cluelessness.

Am unsure the basis of ur assertion. I believe he is probably the most valuable of the lot cus he probably best fits the role Garba Lawal played in the SE. Plus he brings greater pace to the position and better delivery...

When you say blend, you mean language, right? Coz clearly you cannot be talking about football. The guy is a clean player who will fit in nicely on the left side of midfield

Competition! I love it

I think we have enough backyard talent so any of these foreigners with Nigerian blood really need to be exceptional. They also have to have the personality and commitment to fit in to Nigeria. Makes sense to keep our eyes on them though especially Onuoha, Aogo and even Agbonlahor. Also curious on what is going on with Ruben Okotie.

Agbonlahor already played for England! We can't have him.

The only one of them that would benefit Nigeria is Dennis Aogo who would bring some much needed speed into our sluggish and lethargic midfield.

Aogo is not eligible. He played for Germany in the 2010 World Cup third place game against Uruguay. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... s/match_63
