Temper down on the hyping. I hope he is the real deal. Looking forward to seeing him play. I hear camping will start on May 18. The first friendly is on May 22. Then rest period until May 27. I hope he plays against Athletico Madrid.

He looks a very decent player. For a guy of his size, his predatory movement in the 6 yard box is quite impressive. He suits the Rohr style and formation of play, (not too flamboyant and very efficient).

Let's see how he performs in the game against England. Good secret weapon to have in the locker.

It's important to see how he performs in the GWG. If he hits the ground running, then his prospects will be very bright.

Interestingly, he is in the mold of Tammy Abraham but a much better prospect..With Swansea relegated and no WC footie, I wonder what he is thinking about now?

I will be very surprised if Simy Nwankwo does not go to Russia. Gernot Rohr comes from a country that features strikers like Mario Gomez (6ft 2in or 1.89m) and Thomas Muller (6ft 1in or 1.86m), not to talk of the Hummels and Boatengs at the back. Therefore, Simy Nwankwo (at 6ft 4in or 1.98m) is a blessing. We know what Ighalo can do, so Rohr must let us see what Simy can do in the friendlies.

He is good at holding the ball up but is not mobile or nimble enough in my opinion. He is like the raw Rashidi Yekini that we saw at the 1984 Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

Hopefully, he will get there with time but he is behind Ighalo in the pecking order for now. he still needs to add finesse to his game.

Tammy Abraham was never going to play for Nigeria. He made it clear he feels English and that is where his heart lies. You cannot feature for a country you do not "feel."

It's knowing you had an opportunity and turned your back on it.... regardless of whether the 3 lions was his first choice or not, it will still cross his mind as he watches the WC on tv.

There is a very good chance this guy will make the final 23 going to Russia and could take Mrs Ighalo’s starting spot.

Convert him to a center back to backup Balogun in case of injury. If he wants to score so badly he can come up during corner kicks and look for free headers. That height is too much to waste at CF. :mrgreen:

Na joke I dey joke o! Just watched the video. The guy is a natural striker, with split second predatory instincts. He will make the 23 man list.

He is everything Shola Ameobi was not, a big man that scorers intelligent goals. He is not the finished product but this dude is a PREDATOR. No he is not Bart Man Ogbeche, Ameobi or Uchebo. Simy is the big, tall, back up center forward we need

Tammy (If he changes his mind), Jololo (when fit) can all audition for the role in September. We don't need anymore short strikers unless they are Milla or Martins like. Fast or cunning respectively.

Doesnt it worry you that the last goal scored by Mrs Ighalo for Nigeria was in the first leg against Cameroon? Our coach knows the Centre forward position is an area of weakness..... to address this issue he has brought in two new strikers who appear to be in good form. If both are able to convince the coach they are good enough it would be curtains for Mrs.

Chief please the difference is clear! everyone knew Uchebo, Sola, Nwofor were wastepipes and had no business being in the team. The selection process for 2014 was not transparent. 2014 team came out of nowhere.

Simy’s progress has been monitored & public opinion were hoping Simy made the list to see if he could address a real area of weakness in the current squad because we all know the last time Mrs scored last. No body is getting carried away we only hope he is good enough.

I dont think he fits Nigeria system. But maybe if we want to play more direct in the 2nd half he will be useful. He will have to outplay players in training and in the next couple of games. It will be difficult but not impossible to make the world cup squad.

He's a good player and no matter how he's hyped, he's behind Odion Ighalo and Kelechi Ihenacho in the pecking order. I personally thought that it was between Simmy, Sadiq Umar and Kayode Olarenwaju for that final striker and Rohr has opted for Simmy.

He actually helps his team to defend corners and free-kicks because he is very good in the air.
