WHAT IS ROHR'S BEEF WITH ONYEKURU ?

[Ayo Akinfe]

Musa never play ball this season and you guys want him in our Worls Cup squad????? Kai, I have heard it all!

He will have the opportunity to find a better situation at club level in January. If he does that, he will remain in the national team picture. If he doesn't, he will be jeopardizing his Super Eagles place. The situation is fluid. He may yet make the World Cup squad. Just as he may yet be dropped.

There are players on the team who barring injury have already booked their ticket to Russia. Musa is not one of them.

Rohr should have waited until he got a club and started playing before inviting him to camp!

That's the normal standard, but coaches will sometimes make one or two exceptions. If Musa was not pulling his weight in training or when he got on the pitch, I would understand your little tirade. But that isn't the case.

Furthermore, I don't believe that Musa will be able to hold on to his spot on the team ahead of the World Cup if he doesn't find playing time in the January transfer window, because the competition for spots is too fierce. Not only Onyekuru (who will continue to improve) that he has to fend off but Isaac Success and Bazee as well.

If Rohr has been saying these are the terms under which Vince will return to camp why are the rules different for Musa? Rohr is setting a very ugly precedent which will come back to haunt us all

Onyekuru will be up against musa for a place in the squad
To be brutally honest I don't see any evidence he is better than musa
If musa were playing in belgium who knows how many goals he would have scored by now
Let rohr do his job

I can't remember Musa's stats off the top of my head, but he was a holy terror for teams in Holland. All the same Onyekuru at the same stage of their careers is a better prospect. His close control, intelligence and technical ability are above anything that Musa had at the time.



Thanks for raising this issue! How many league goals did Musa score in Holland and in Russia, per season?

Vince has been out with a long term injury and must prove that he's in football shape. Furthermore he's playing the most critical position on the pitch, where one mistake as a result of not being sharp will cost your team.

The two are completely different and you know this.

If you say so. At least I know what it doesn't say.

Ahmed Musa scored eight goals in two seasons while playing for VV Venlo. During his last year during the 2011/11 season, he scored a grand total of THREE goals!

Lol when you are ready to share that with us, please, do so.

My response to dumbfookbrother, is that he thinks Musa will be highest goals scorer in belgium like Onyekuru was last season, and is about to be this season. Musa, has played in holland, Russia and England and he has never even been close to being highest goalscorer.

Danfo Driver,


Didn't think it would be anything near the 24 goals Onyekuru scored (that's what I meant by saying that I know what it doesn't say). In terms of sheer talent Onyekuru has it in spades.

[joao]

Without doubt, Onyekuru is talented but he does not fit the system coach Rohr is setting up.
For starters, Onyekuru lingers too long on the ball. People should compare Onyekuru game with Iwobi's
in terms of positioning, ball release, and passing. Time will tell if Onyekuru can adjust to Rohr's needs.

Moses Simon lingers on the ball and is one of Rohr's important players, so that's not it. Rohr is a process oriented coach. Nigerians want everything to happen all at once but it is a process. Onyekuru, if he continues to do his thing at his clubside, will have every chance to be on the World Cup squad.

Musa, has played in holland, Russia and England and he has never even been close to being highest goalscorer.

This is what happens when crack cocaine flows into the amniotic sac
England, Russia, Holland.
Which of those countries sounds like Belgium?

[Robotnik]

Simple i don't think Rohr plans to take him to the world cup.

Too much competition

Moses
Simon
Musa
Bazee*

Onyekuru was on standby before the injuries..figure.

Anything can change between now and the world cup.

Lmaoooo @ this dumbfookbrother! You think you are smart, but you are resoundingly dumb! Musa has played in 3 leagues and has never been a top goal scorer! And you think he will just show up to Belgium and start becoming top scorer! The same league the dumb Moses Simon plays abi? Has that one been top scorer too?

BELGIUM is not RUSSIA

all jokes aside, i can tell from your uncontrollable tendency to lash out, that you had an abusive upbringing
i really hope you seek the help you need
