Enyi,
Vince is virtually back to the Super Eagles. Importantly, Rohr and the goalkeeper trainer, Pionetti, have been in communication with him. Certain things were discussed and certain preliminary agreements were made, but he has to earn his spot on the team like the other goalkeepers. Also, Vince has been in touch with several current players and has been up to date with on-goings in camp. Since last year, he has committed to Rohr and the team. What people have to realize is that the manner he left the team in 2015 had him, the NFF, and some other interested parties in bristles. So, the manner of his return has to be as seamless and non-controversial as possible. Major kudos go to Rohr, Pinnick, Enyeama, Mikel , the goalkeeper coach Pionetti, Alloy Agu, and several other Super Eagles.Even heavyweights like Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Governor Godswill Akpabio and current Governor Udom Emmanuel should also take credit because they wanted and impressed on Vince the need to return. The extra trainings and work done by Vince was in fulfillment of his vow to only return if he was 100% fit. Expect him to be on Rohr's list of 35 next month.

By David Meshioye: Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has stated that the goalkeeping slots in the World Cup squad are still up for grabs contrary to rumours doing the rounds that he may have made up his mind on the three goalkeepers for Russia 2018, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

In a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com on Thursday, Super Eagles media officer Toyin Ibitoye disclosed that the former Gabon manager is leaving his options open in the goalkeeping areas of the team, adding that the likes of Vincent Enyeama, Francis Uzoho, Daniel Akpeyi, Dele Alampasu and Ikechukwu Ezenwa will have to fight for the three slots.

Enyeama, who is retired from international football, only recently recovered from a long-term injury and has been inactive for several months, while Akpeyi has not been impressive in his recent Super Eagles outings. Youngster Uzoho is no longer a part of the Deportivo La Coruna first-team squad despite impressing while standing in for injured senior keepers in LaLiga games.

“I can confidently tell you that Rohr has not made up his mind on his best three goalkeepers that will be going to the World Cup. He said Enyeama, Ezenwa, Uzoho and of course Akpeyi will have a chance to get the three slots allotted to the goalkeepers,” Ibitoye told CSN.

“He said he is leaving his options open in a bid to get the best from the goalkeepers. That is where the international friendly matches come in; Rohr will be looking at the players closely and those matches will play a huge role in determining who goes to the World Cup.”

Meanwhile, Ibitoye revealed further that Rohr is eagerly looking forward to goalkeeper trainer Enrico Pionetti’s report on his visit to Deportivo La Coruna goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho. The backroom staff is expected to brainstorm on Pionetti’s report before Nigeria’s friendly match against Poland.

The ball is already in NFF's court. Enyeama can not invite himself to camp. The coach set a criteria for his return. It is up to Rohr to see if he stands by that criteria.

Bro how can the ball be in the NFF's court? He told them he's retired. As he informed them he's out of retirement?
You can't consider someone who is retired for duty. Please stop basing your point on newspaper articles. They all write different things

Bros, we dont have to rely on newspaper articles. This is from the horse's mouth. This interview is from 2 years after Enyeama's retirement. Not once did Rohr mention "retirement" that people keep on harping on as an impediment to him rejoining the team, rather, its his fitness and lack of playing time.

[/video]

The only question (IMO) is whether Rohr/NFF will take a gamble and relax his own requirements based off his fears of how terrible his current goalkeepers in camp are. Enyeama must do everything in his power to get ANY type of competitive games that he can, second team, reserves etc, to show he is playing at some level. Otherwise, it will be a tough sell for him to justify a spot.

Enyeama is playing for Lille reserves a D3 team. The highlights are on his twitter page. What is the difference between a healthy (recovered from injury) experienced goalie in D3 in France and a healthy inexperienced but taller goalie in the D3 in Spain?

Are we all missing something?

Enyeama has met all conditions stipulated.

A: Beat injury.
B: Transfer in the open window. Impossible as he did not have full medical clearance from injury.
C: Play in the reserves.

Musa (Before his transfer) and Iheanacho were granted the same package and that is without injury.


We all can keep typing till we age but in the final analysis its going to be (In no particular order)

EEU or Ezenwa, Enyeama and Uzoho

Certain things were discussed and certain preliminary agreements were made, but he has to earn his spot on the team like the other goalkeepers. Also, Vince has been in touch with several current players and has been up to date with on-goings in camp. Since last year, he has committed to Rohr and the team. What people have to realize is that the manner he left the team in 2015 had him, the NFF, and some other interested parties in bristles. So, the manner of his return has to be as seamless and non-controversial as possible. Major kudos go to Rohr, Pinnick, Enyeama, Mikel , the goalkeeper coach Pionetti, Alloy Agu, and several other Super Eagles.Even heavyweights like Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Governor Godswill Akpabio and current Governor Udom Emmanuel should also take credit because they wanted and impressed on Vince the need to return. The extra trainings and work done by Vince was in fulfillment of his vow to only return if he was 100% fit. Expect him to be on Rohr's list of 35 next month.

This worries me. Are we back to the era where politicians decide what's best for the National team? I hope Rohr will stand strong and do what he wants to do, and if that includes bringing back Vince, then so be it. These politicians will deny him should anything go wrong. Na their way be that.

"Decide" say weytin?
They are helping him change his mind and make himself available for consideration.
That is very, very different from "deciding" who plays for the national team.

Its like saying Iwobi's dad or Aina's dad "decided" their sons would be best for the SE and imposed them on the nation.
I doubt such discussions would be held without Rohr's knowledge or approval.

Damunk, Thanks for the apt clarification. Many forget that these politicians are also avid football fans and follow clubsides and the national team as well as Cybereagles posters.For example,former Governor and Minister Babatunde Fashola is well known for his football skills and he played for the Birch Freeman High School, Surulere.He can still work some football magic even today. Saraki is a well known football fan. I won't even bother to mention Akpabio and Udom since they are both from Akwa Ibom like Enyeama.

That is low meen...very low

All of you that said Ibrahimovic discussed with the coach of Sweden before expressing his interest to go to the World Cup publicly can now come back and eat their humble pie!

I repeat players are supposed to speak about their intention to return to a country's national team publicly and let the chips fall where they may.

Enyeama should not be a part of the team if he does not PUBLICLY express his interest. Besides, the way Nigerians behave these kind of returns affect team building morale. Landon Donovan did not go to the World Cup in 2014. Ibrahimovic is not going to the World Cup in 2018. This will not be the first or last time. Let us move forward and stop looking at the past for better or for worse.
