Dominic Solanke wants to play for Nigeria
And with his current form this season? only a disingenuous person will be opposed to that switch happening...yes we have a plethora of forwards BUT Solanke brings something different stylistically from what we have, my boy can dribble, pass intelligently, hold up play brilliantly and finish with aplomb. Solanke's versatility means he can also play as a CAM and even as a winger effectively and majority of his goals this season have come from different positions around the 18 yrd box.
I say NFF fast-track him into the NT once everything is valid.

Midfielders, defenders, or goal keepers please.
Hell I'll even take a good winger.
We don't need any more strikers.

Re: Dominic Solanke wants to play for Nigeria
Why not. He is no less Nigerian than the others.
Though I can’t see who he would displace. At least not now.

Re: Dominic Solanke wants to play for Nigeria
If he wants to play for Nigeria, he should contact the proper authorities to do the switch and obtain his passport. He should the prepare and work hard. If he performs in Div 1 AFTER THE AFCON, and the coach believes he is better than others, he will be invited. Its that simple.
But good luck to him, the competition is fierce - Osihmen, Boniface, Umar, Moffi, Orban etc etc

Re: Dominic Solanke wants to play for Nigeria
He looks decent statistically but he’s 26 and already has an England cap. Is he eligible for a switch
Cheers.

Re: Dominic Solanke wants to play for Nigeria
Considering the massive drop-off recently experienced by the SE, with Osimhen and Awoniyi injured, its clear that there is still a gulf in class between those 2 and the others that still needs to be filled.
There is nothing wrong with the young man throwing his hat into the ring The only issue is that, since he already played for the England youth teams and once for the 3 lions (even though a friendly game in 2017), his clearance wait time could be several months - unless he has commenced the switch.
All the best to Dominic!

The more quality strikers we have in our stables, the greater the competition which only bodes well for the SE.
Wish Dominic all the best!

Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Dominic Solanke wants to play for Nigeria
I believe we have 2 or 3 spots in the squad. Now, he has to try to outperform Osimhen, Boniface, Sadiq, Moffi, Lookman, Akor Adams and Orban. That is 7 players (excluding Awoniyi).txj wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 4:53 pm

His competition is Moffi for the 4th spot.
Lookman is a wide MF/FWD

Just to confirm your position, he has surpassed Akor Adams and Orban in the pecking order?txj wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 5:20 pmdanfo driver wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 5:12 pmI believe we have 2 or 3 spots in the squad.

Also, we do not select 4 CFs in a squad of 23. If we do that, where would you cut to fit in the CFs?

Re: Dominic Solanke wants to play for Nigeria
What should help players is their versatility to play a number of positions.
If somebody can only play CF, unless they are Osimehn their chances of making squad should be slim.

Both Akor and Orban are below his level.
The key IMO is that he can play from wide and as support for Osimhen.
Both Boniface and Sadiq are best as lone strikers.
In the wide positions we only have two quality players- Samu and Lookman

Does Solanke really fit that bill or is this another case of forcing strikers where they don't belong?
