look at our future, they love Nigeria.. it feels so good watching these young boys wearing green white green and as Alex would say in his naija accent , "up naija"

[Bigpokey24]

it started like this



his uncle is a living legend



he scores when he wants ( he is the Zambian Slayer)



he is a Nigerian , by heart and blood


the owner of this shirt dey cry all the way to Prince charley

I think he would do better as an AM than Mikel. Would prefer to move Mikel to the CM/DM position and pair him with Etebo, Onazi, or Agu.

I'm not entirely convinced a three man midfield with Mikel and Iwobi would work... certainly not one including Etebo as the third man.

The boy is damn good

I agree, iwobi is still good from the wings not midfield.

I agree. Remember Iwobi is also a very cerebral player. I argue he has the best football brain of all players his age.

Go watch him play for Arsenal,when he play in the MF he is pure genius like his uncle.
Iwobi is a better #10 than Ozil,and Ozil play for Germany,i say give him the #10 and allow Mikel to be water carry and protect the back 4.

[maceo4]

In WC we can try him st 10, but African games he's gonna get muscles off the ball too much. He's probably better out wide, maybe left bench would be his best position so he can come in and change the game, not convinced he should start yet.

[DAgrin]

I just pray we get Abraham,too. The boy is better than any striker we got at the moment.
Ovie Ejaria is another English raised I rate very highl.
The rest can suck english di**.

No be only Abraham, na King Saul..

Ovie Ejaria was rejected by Nigeria at U-17.. didint make the Kelechi Iheanacho team back then... But have now really developed..

I watch Ejaria regularly and though he is a very clever player, full of creativity and always looking for the forward pass, he is just not ready for African football. He is still to slight and will get easily out muscled and out hustled. He needs to play regular men's football for a season or 2 and then he may be ready.

He was not "rejected" (though not sure he would have made he cut)...
Rather, he left the long-arsed camp at summer-end to return to the Arsenal academy

My rating for Ejaria slipped considerably downwards during the U20 WYC...
Would definitely take someone like Josh Onumah over Ejaria, if given a choice.

[Ayo Akinfe]

He cannot hack physical games ooooo. Against a team like Cameroon, he would have been tossed around like a rag doll.

[papilo]

It's strange how everyone seems to think he is not physically strong enough to play in the middle when one of his strengths is his physicality. The guy can protect/shield a ball from now till next year. I think we are judging based on his facial looks and how he talks. The guy is really strong

Come again One of who's strengths? Iwobi? Have you watched any of his games for SE? He is a serial loser of the ball because he lacked the strength which is probably what led to his benching. Watch Algeria game you will see him lose the ball over 10 times in one friggin game. What shielding are you talking about? The boy has gotten stronger since last season, but he's still a light weight when it comes to holding onto the ball. Mikel though is a master shielder he could learn a thing or two from him. I like Alex's game and love smart/clever players, but we gotta call a spade a spade, in Africa he was getting muscled anyhow. He's young and will get stronger with time, but my comments are based on his current play.
