is not as if we have better strikers lined up to replace him

Kpom! Mugus watch and pick players like they know more than the coach

Relevant in the South East, yes. If we don't have a striker then stick a midfielder or even a ball boy up front. Nothing worse than a striker that can't score and taking space.
0 goals in the world cup while defenders were scoring. He's done in the SE if we want to progress

He is 29. He is no longer relevant. Only critical players that are nearing 30 should be retained. We can find a younger alternative. He has served the country well. But time to retire from international football.

Yes let’s make space for a complete and utter wastepipe. It’s not enough that he single handed cause is to lose against Argentina but let’s invite him back to inflict even more damage to the national team. If Rohlr has any sense he should be looking in a different direction than a striker playing in china

We thank him for that goal against Cameroon. Wish him the best on all his future endevours.

Why are you saying this about MUSA ! Oh ! Wait a minute, what do you mean same thing applies to igalo. So now that musa shot you up you want to switch to igalo

Relevant for exactly what? It is not as if we don't have enough people to make up the team.

You must be confusing me with someone else..... never been a Musa hater ,supported his inclusion to the national team he is a player that has won the league in Russia was top scorer in the 9ja league has euro. Hampikns league experience rep 9ja at the under 20 World Cup performed very has scored in the World Cup.

Now lets review Ighalo : waste pipe at the under 20 fifa World Cup losing to 10 man Germany having not scored a single goal the whole tournament. Helped 9ja to fail to qualify for African Cup of nations.hasnt scored for Nigeria since the first leg against Cameroon. Was has be done club wise one hit wonder at Watford for a single season other season played for Granada now plays in China. How many opportunities should he be given to prove how useless he is?????

so he consciously stirred himself from scoring because he has more to gain from not scoring than he stands to gain when he scores

Yes, we may not better striker lined up...... but we don't want a toothless one like Odion on our team!

The howler against the Argies is it for me....... Just like Gov. Fayose..... "I'm in severe pains..... If anything happens to me, Ighalo should be held responsible...."

I am NOT for, or against Ighalo, but didn't some say he is doing poor because he is being starved of the ball in our national team? If so, why are we blaming the young man?

Leave that one. Ighalo is a terrible striker. Calling him "poor" is injustice to poor strikers.
Ighalo doesn't look like he's been starved. Dem starve him in Watford, in Italy and even in China?

How we can honestly say we have a striker when he scores about every 10 to 12 games is beyond me.

I said before the world cup we cannot rely on Ighalo. We play 3 games and must win at least 2 to progress. If you then have a striker that can go 10 games without scoring then how do you hope to qualify? We were depending on others to do his work for him. Waste of space

Ok, bros, I got-it!

The problem with Ighalo isn't just that he is a very poor goal scorer for the SE, he just doesn't contribute to other aspects of the game that can improve goal scoring for the SE. The job of a striker isn't just to score, there are other aspects to his game that can improve the team... Ighalo brings none of this to the team. And biko spare me the rubbish excuse that he gets no service... how much service did Emenike get? That guy knew how to hustle his way to score by any means necessary, heck even the likes of Martins, Aiyegbeni, Ike Uche of recent memory didn't particularly play with a world class midfield, yet they had a decent ratio of goals on their records. Ighalo is just a poor striker, it's just that simple.
