Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
I’ve actually reviewed the rules and it doesn’t appear to address the situation where a player has never played for the senior team of any country. The switching rules assume that a player has previously played for one country and is now attempting to play for a different country. The only apparent proviso for representing any country is that the player must have a clear connection to that countrymaceo4 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 2:03 pmNot quite bro, look it up…TonyTheTigerKiller wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 1:08 pmIf he has never played for the senior team of any other country then no switching is requiredOdas wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 5:59 amTTTK, though I am not sure what the 'switching rule' is, but don't you think some signatures must be put on some papers to make the switching official?TonyTheTigerKiller wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 10:54 pm I don’t see why a switch would be required since he has never played for the England senior team

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
The same reason he picked Joe Aribo. He is scamming Nigeria. Pretending to be a coach. The man probably just stays in Portugal watching just European leagues on TV. That is why there are no home based players in the team. Ojo selection is just some one that he has previously invited.packerland wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 3:05 amThis your kingdom Osayi, why didn't Peseiro pick him over Ojo if he is that good?ohenhen1 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 2:33 amNo, he doesnt deserve a call up.bret- hart wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 2:29 amHe has already chosen Nigeria.

Okonkwo my client is 1000x better than that GQ model poser in Udinese. Talent no dey hide. I expect him to join the SEs after the AFCON.

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
I'd take that with a pinch of salt because you are always making things up. This week you claimed Iheanacho haven't played for Leicester in over a week and I cannot also forget how you said in 2015 you could see people from your window in the USA people voting in Surulere.
Nonetheless, a game each shouldn't be enough to conclude Osayi is better.

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
Blame the coaches, especially the Naijarian assistants for failing to make a case for Kingdom Osayi who is actually one of the better Keepers in the country. There's also a case to be made for Sodiq Ismail the rightback for Remo Stars who is one of the leaders in assists (top assist man playing as right-back). His crosses are sublime. 2nd year running that he is one of the top assist guys in the league. He should have at least have gotten an invite.packerland wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 3:05 amThis your kingdom Osayi, why didn't Peseiro pick him over Ojo if he is that good?ohenhen1 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 2:33 amNo, he doesnt deserve a call up.bret- hart wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 2:29 amHe has already chosen Nigeria.

For goodness sake, CAF allows for 27 players. Alahassan should have been on the original 25 or 27 so too should have been Chuba Akpom and Sodiq Ismail.

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
The reality is Nwabili won't have received an invitation with a chance to start if he was playing in Nigeria. That is the fact of how much the manager thinks about locally based players even though his team (SE) was huffing and puffing at home against Lesotho that was full of Lesotho league players.Cellular wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 10:28 amBlame the coaches, especially the Naijarian assistants for failing to make a case for Kingdom Osayi who is actually one of the better Keepers in the country.

The reality is also that he probably has improved a great deal in SA for all sorts of reasons, including training facilities, personal comfort, regular income, a better league structure and a generally more professional approach to the game by the SAFA.Enugu II wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 11:50 amThe reality is Nwabili won't have received an invitation with a chance to start if he was playing in Nigeria.

I know you like to dismiss these things and harp on talent alone but we will continue to emphasise the importance of the little things which make up the big things.
There’s a reason why both you and I carried our ‘talent’ abroad to become better professionals.

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
Yep from what I read he didn’t play much the first season he was bought from the NPFL, he needed a full season to improve and get up to speed and luck of a coaching change to start getting PT…IMO a NT is for refined talent, not raw talent.Damunk wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:51 pmThe reality is also that he probably has improved a great deal in SA for all sorts of reasons, including training facilities, personal comfort, regular income, a better league structure and a generally more professional approach to the game by the SAFA.Enugu II wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 11:50 amThe reality is Nwabili won't have received an invitation with a chance to start if he was playing in Nigeria.

Anointed
How can he be? Ofcourse, he will change. However, even in Nigeria he was never same. Form isn't static. If he left South Africa to Nigeria, he may also improve.
Have you heard about effect of maturity on performance? It does exist but in a curvilinear trajectory.

Somehow we were okay with the raw talent of Okoye when he was in the German 4th div and Uzoho when he was barely playing senior football. These guys played key matches for us and were not refined talents by any means and that’s a fact.
The bias here is that many of us, including the coaches and the NFF boss, sadly, think NPFL rawness must be more unacceptable compared to German 4th div rawness or Cypriot bench rawness?

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
Don’t put me in that list abeg, if there’s anything I’ve been very consistent and was against a lower division Okoye, but even with that he had started to get on the bench of his 1st division team, even at that I was still against it, talk less of a pure 4th division player…niyi wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 3:27 pmWe can just speculate on things like how raw Nwabali used to be or how he has recently improved “a great deal” within a year just after moving to South Africa?maceo4 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 2:50 pmYep from what I read he didn’t play much the first season he was bought from the NPFL, he needed a full season to improve and get up to speed and luck of a coaching change to start getting PT…IMO a NT is for refined talent, not raw talent.Damunk wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:51 pmThe reality is also that he probably has improved a great deal in SA for all sorts of reasons, including training facilities, personal comfort, regular income, a better league structure and a generally more professional approach to the game by the SAFA.Enugu II wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 11:50 amThe reality is Nwabili won't have received an invitation with a chance to start if he was playing in Nigeria.

We are now back to promoting 4th division GK to become SE No.1 under the pretext of having a GK crisis.
The last 2 lower division GKs who were fast tracked to the SE No.1, We all saw the end product.
Although, there were more experienced GKs, somehow, lower divisions GKs are the way to go.

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
Na today! Lower division players give Nigerians a deep excitement that nothing else can give them. Nothing sweets them more than seeing low level professionals. Same reason they saw a drug baron and a qualified professional and then went to vote for the drug baron! Nigerians need chaos. So they make sure to always seek for the worst option, so that they can have something to cry about when the worst option fails. Nigerians just dont know how they will survive if things go well. There will be nothing to complain about and that reality scares them.

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
I went back and read some of the comments and some people are saying to cap him now and let him develop on his own. We don’t have to play him right away and the coach can let him know that. Most serious nations have their top 5 young goal keepers in waiting. England has James Traffird, Jason Steele, Angus Gunn, Freddie Woodman, Billy Crellin (all the big clubs want him) all waiting in line to take over from Pope, Ramsey and Pickford.fabio wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 4:58 pm We are now back to promoting 4th division GK to become SE No.1 under the pretext of having a GK crisis.

Nigeria capping Okonkwo is not different from big clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester city going after the players I named above. It’s not like the young keepers I named above will play right away once they sign for the big clubs. Okonkwo is not ready bait we can get him now if he’s serious about playing for us.

The last 2 lower division GKs who were fast tracked to the SE No.1, We all saw the end product.
Although, there were more experienced GKs, somehow, lower divisions GKs are the way to go.
Nigeria capping Okonkwo is not different from big clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester city going after the players I named above. It’s not like the young keepers I named above will play right away once they sign for the big clubs. Okonkwo is not ready bait we can get him now if he’s serious about playing for us.
Anyway, your post is also weak, because like those ENGLISH players you mentioned in the English league system, who are eligible and available to play for their country, ENGLAND, I can also mention NIGERIAN players in the Nigerian League system, who are eligible and available to play for their country, NIGERIA.
The scotsman you listed, has gone to play for his country - SCOTLAND. He isn't waiting for ENGLAND, like you mentioned.

Re: Okonkwo open to switching nationality from England to Nigeria
Even with my error, Gunn representing Scotland in 2023 proves my point. He was recruited by Manchester city but has been playing in the championship for stoke and Southampton (Div 2) in the last few years. Once Scotland saw a chance, they snapped him up. He has since made 7 appearances for them. Scotland is going to the Euro next year. I know we think we can beat every country in the world but I’m not sure on current form we’ll beat Scotland if we play them in a neutral site.danfo driver wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 6:00 pmpackerland wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 5:51 pmI went back and read some of the comments and some people are saying to cap him now and let him develop on his own.
