Ighalo remains on top of the food chain of our world class strikers

If Ighalo returns then Musa must go!

I understand/ can see where Rohr is coming from; Victor or Kelechi cannot smell the movement ability of Igalo in the box (they need to work to get to that level esp Vic). There's a reason why Solkajier went for Ighalo. Man Untd was looking for Cavani-like box skills and razor thin "timed movement" against the offside trap...Ighalo was the cheaper version of Cavani but the attributes United was looking for in both are the same (with Cavani being better at it). I'm a big fan of Kelechi and i'm still observing victor.

You need penalty spot kick takers

Ighalo is average even by our standards, he just wore a Man United jersey for a little over a year.

Fashanu to Rohr: Don’t bring back Ighalo to Eagles

https://punchng.com/fashanu-to-rohr-don ... to-eagles/

Former Wimbledon star, John Fashanu, has frowned on the idea of bringing back former Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, to the national team.

The 31-year-old forward announced his international retirement immediately after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where he finished top scorer, as the Eagles placed third at the continent’s top football showpiece.

Head coach Gernot Rohr, in a recent interview, hinted that Ighalo might return to the Eagles when the 2022 World Cup qualifiers begin next month. But Fashanu kicked against the ex-Manchester United striker’s return, saying outstanding younger strikers should be given the chance to lead the Eagles attack.

“Experience in football counts but we don’t want to do anything to upset the young boys or make them a little bit depressed,” Fashanu told The PUNCH.

“The only thing Ighalo has to offer to the national team is his experience, it is not his ability because there are players who are far better than him and we know that.

“If Rohr wants to bring him in because he stabilises the squad, it is fine. I remember when I was in my 30s and the manager kept bringing me back, it wasn’t because I was a great player but I gave the team confidence. And that might also be the reason why Rohr wants to bring him back but other than that his time is gone.

“Ighalo is in his 30s and in Nigeria we have fantastic prospects that are fighting to get that spot but not all of them can make the squad.

‘If you keep playing the older players it is at the detriment of the younger players. It is high time we start seeing 17, 18-year-old geniuses in the national team. “Where there is no talent the coach may consider bringing him back but there are so many talents and it would be very wrong to bring him back at this stage.”

What is with Rohr and his illogical sense of loyalty. The guy seems incapable of letting the past go. Because Ighalo was top scorer last AFCON, and because Musa has 2 WC goals, he must forever punish us with their presence in SE.

Neither player has ANYTHING to offer us at this point going forward.

How can the man be thinking of Ighalo with all the hot strikers we have.

Ighalo could still be very useful for AFCON.. He may not be a starter, but he can still be part of the afcon team.

At which striker's expense?
That's the question.

If we're so desperate for experience we might as well call back Yakubu, Rohr is a clown honestly.

One experience guy for another. Surely we don't need both.

If that is the only option I will gladly replace Musa with Ighalo, but NEITHER should be there, and it would be madness to take them both.

Nigeria has the best strike force in the world right now, we don't need dead woods.

For crying out louf we have a guy at the top of the scoring charts in Italy who cannot even make our team and Rohr is considering guys playing in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. What the hell man.

Sometimes I feel Rohr is too sentimental and doesn't have the guts to say NO or SORRY to certain people.

We have to move FORWARD.

I don't think Rohr's issue is based on sentiments but rather on absolute foolery or ineptitude!
We are talking about Ighalo & Musa when we have borderline world class strikers at your disposal.
Something dey o!!

I see Rohr's point. Ighalo has proven to be king in African qualifiers. He knows the terrain, he woudl deliver. If one or 2 of Kele, nacho and basketballer gets injured, who best to have as backup? Is it Moffi (im a shriner) or sadiq that would just start learning the ropes, learning how Rohr team plays, and learning african football?

secondly, i understand that Ighalo has a powerful influence in the dressing room. Everyone loves him.

Musa is not an option in the first place.
Like VC said, neither of them should be in a 23 man squad.
