Forget about chat. Most of these boys are more English than Naija and they have agents who push for them to wait for England caps.

In Ademola's case, he was very close to the "England-born Nigerian team" camp before he got a contract with Charlton. As soon as he got a call up with England, he packed his portmanteau and showed up to camp singing "God Bless Our Queen." Same with Ejaria who was in camp with the U17 boys in 2013.

I don't think it is as crystal clear as you want us to believe.
The cases are different. Some might play for England while others have a deep connection to Nigeria and won't refuse to wear GWG if invited.
I still have a lot of confidence that Ovie Ejaria will play for Nigeria - he proudly emphasizes his nigerian heritage on his twitter account.
Same goes for Ola Aina.
Lookman indeed will very likely play for England.

If we get Ejaria and Aina England can keep looku!

Not every developing talent will be a fit for the SE. Football is more about players fitting
into a system than talent alone.
Aguero will not fit on the German national team, just like Balotelli is not a fit for Barca.
We should temper our emotions will realism when drafting every Naija connected talent we see.

If I may ask, what system do we have in SE? Does this proclamation "Football is more about players fitting
into a system than talent alone." apply to exceptional talents?

What system does England have?

^systematic failure.

Ask coach Rohr. As things currently are, I don't want to pretend I know.

Bro., there are many exceptional talents that never pan out because they have been unlucky
to find themselves in environment and/or systems where they did not fit in.
Take the case of our very own Moses currently at Chelsea. With Mourinho he seems not to have
a chance, but now he looks golden. Pogba left ManU as a cast-off, but now returns to being 'toasted'.
Fitting into a system or environment is a very delicate proposition. No matter the individual talent,
there is personal attitude and ability to do what the coach wants for starters. Many rated Balotelli
as an exceptional talent, but his attitude and lack of conformity keeps derailing his career.
My contention in the earlier post is that we generally tend to see gold in every shinning yellow metal,
and with regards to football we need not believe that every ball juggler is a Pele or Messi.
Cheers!!!

^^^^^ Wise words.

Ademola Lookman should play for Nigeria over England if he has a choice. Even Andy Cole with his superb EPL record could not hold down a starting shirt with the 3 lionesses. Ademola would be well advised to commit quickly to SE and face it squarely like Iwobi.

Infact all the Nigerian heritage players should do that.

[smartbrother]

he cost everton as much as success cost watford
only difference is this is an arm's length transaction
i doubt he has any real chance of playing for england at Russia 2016 with the likes of Rashford, walcott, lindgard , Sturridge, Townsend, Oxlade, lallana and Sterling all competing for placesh
If Rohr/NFF makes a serious effort to woo him, I'm sure we can get him to play for Nigeria
