NFF and Rohr desperate to secure Fifa approval for Danjuma and Lookman ahead of Libya tie next month - See more at: https://goo.gl/axmCXN

Good forward thinking. We may get to a stage soon where 80% of the Eagles is made up of second generation diasporans, kind of like Algeria and Morocco!

I am sure I saw Lookman play for Everton vs West Ham last Sunday he came on in the second half when Everton were chasing the game. The article claims he is out on loan.

Has Danjuma ever even said he wants to play for Nigeria ?

We know it is true about Lookman, but I haven't seen anywhere that Danjuma has changed his mind from when he said he prefers Holland.

How on earth is Rohr lazy for putting in work to get more options for SE and strengthen the team ?

Some people just like to argue and criticize just for the sake of it.

I thought it's already an established fact that Ayo is owngoal and owngoal is ayo.

Although I doubt the authenticity of this story Rohr is managing a national team not a club and to be honest at this level a player should be ready made even the national teams youth players need to play professional football before you can asses their full potential.A player can't practise while playing in a qualifier.

I am disturbed that Rohr is searching for players in all corners of the earth. Are you telling me we don't have great players in the Nigerian league? I refuse to believe that there isn't

No we dont. THose are the facts. Deal with them.

These guys are failing trials in Bulgaria and ending up in places like Finland and you want to poison SE with this kind of quality.

Any young players of quality will be snapped up. If you are still playing in Nigeria in your mid 20's then there is no hope for you. You are not good enough.

Musa was 17 or 18 when he was snapped up and went to Holland.

Bro, then you need to point out such players cos we all need to know them.
No point speculating or "refusing to believe" they don't exist.
Name names.

If they were any good, they will be playing in Europe already!

Care to check African Champions league and Confederation cup to see how our teams are doing?

How is that a lie? Why are simple things difficult for some of you to get? Why would a good player in his mid 20s still be playing in Nigeria. Can you tell us one reason why this will be possible. Even half baked Nigerian players are rushing out to all manner of countries and you want us to believe that quality players good enough for the super eagles are still there. I don't get it.

How old was Sunday Mba before he broke into the SE?

How old was Sunday Mba before he broke into the SE?

Where is Sunday today ? Why did he dissapear so quickly from SE ? How did Sunday Mba help us at the Confederations cup ?

He was a flash in the pan.

You guys really need to worry about the apparent strategy of making the Super Eagles a composition of mostly Diaspora-born players. We have seen some quality ones, but, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the Nigerian team is better off structured on a foundation of quality players that started in Nigeria and are doing well in Europe. We have a decidedly Nigerian way of playing and a certain culture that can't be taught in European academies. Little wonder our best players at the World Cup were Ahmed Musa, Wilfred Ndidi , Oghene Etebo and Kenneth Omeruo. Musa and Omeruo made the match day team of the day at the World Cup after the Iceland game. Etebo was acknowledged the best player against Croatia. Ndidi was a beast in all three games. They share one trait: they all started in Nigeria. If we invite any foreign born player, he should be of a higher quality than players we already have in similar positions. Opening the doors to rejects of European countries is not the way to succeed.

Kpom! Maintaining our identity and a distinct style of play is very Important. Most of the internet Nigerians posting rubbish here , who themselves have probably never stepped foot in Nigeria wont understand. The likes of Balogun and Troost get a pass because we don’t have options but Danjuma hasn’t proven nothing so far.
