I personally feel we need to have a guide for SE call-ups especially when we recommend names. I also feel the level of football played by players goes a long way in determining the strength of the national team. Its time we start to challenge for world titles and we cant do that with a bunch of hey yous, kumburs, bench warmers and lower division players.
Below are my suggestions
BAND 1:
England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France
- those these bands should be regular first team starters or Impact/ super subs in the Premier Divsion League.
BAND 2:
Holland, Turkey, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Russia
- Must be regular first team starter in the premier Division league.
BAND 3:
Brazil, Argentina and Rest of Europe (Norway, Austria etc) and except the likes of Albania, Estonia, FInland, Luxemburg, etc.
- Must be the best player in his position in the Premier div of league (Troost Ekong in Norway) or totally lighting up the whole league (Kayode Olarenwaju)
BAND 4:
Top African, Middle east and Asian league
- must be lighting up the whole continent and should seek to move to better leagues before an invite.
Oshe!
Thank you,Why limit your options when you can't even pick players from the Nigerian League?
