Are we lacking goal scorers? Should we also call up Osaze? Personally I think the ship has sailed and the present and future belongs to the young up and coming.

Obagoal brings experience, and more to the team but at what cost to team chemistry?

You have to weigh his chemistry with the whole team vs what he brings to the table compared to what you already have or can get elsewhere. Remember, Martins didn't play much of a role in the qualifiers.

Internet coaches don't usually factor in stuff like team chemistry, but they are very important.

Remember SA 2010, when Osaze dribbled the ball out of bounds when an Obagoal was wide open in the middle of the box against Argentina? :shock: :lol: :lol:

No other active player can boast of his goals record in the SE.
It’s a tough one for me. While martins would certainly help, we also have a generation of young players that have the potential to be great. Having to choose between Martins, Nacho, and onyekuru is a very hard choice. We need scoring off the bench but can Martins take us to the next level?
Here is Martins winning the FA Cup for his team a few days ago.
Still scoring....and still doing his backflips.

He can't be that ancient if he's still doing this.
Question: Is Ighalo, Nigeria's top SE striker playing in the same league, doing this? :idea:

Now, if our Captain and best player (Mikel) and our best striker (Ighalo) are playing in the same league, what is it about Martins that automatically rules him out, if he is still doing what you see below - and quite regularly?

Ultimately, it is for Rohr to decide.
