NWABALI being mentioned in high corridors…

[Enyi]

Brentford, Arsenal in the PL and PSV and Sparta in EREDIVISIE have asked about him….

I am sure others will be asking others….scouts are being sent to watch him in the SF and Final….so I hope that he makes it to the final…..then yours truly will be there…

Everyone seems to like his ball distribution and the saves yesterday won’t do him any harm…


On another note: - Peseiro (did not like him pre tournament) but he needs to be congratulated for finding him and putting him in straight away

[deanotito]

…as he deserves to be.

Solid keeper

Really happy for Nwabali.
That low save very early in the game was brilliant. The cameras didn’t capture it well or we’d be raving about it even more.
The guy is probably still on the rise and he has grabbed that no 1 shirt with both hands.

[Dammy]

Nwabali is No 1, Okoye is No 2 and others will fight for No 3

[ANC]

if I talk now, Cellular will jump on me.
Its too early to say if he is good or bad
He has done well in the tournament.

I can't believe by providence of luck, in-spite and despite the shenanigans of Pissofeiro, (and i hope he leaves after winning the cup next sunday), we have finally replaced Enyeama!!! i mean Uzoho!!! how did we get to that ridiculous level of goalkeepers in our national team!! not since Peter Fregene of Libya 82' have we had a keeper this poor not even Wilfred Agbonibasket (AKA) Agbonibavre.

[ogasir]

Since when are all those teams considered “high corridors”?

So Peseiro didn't want Nwabali?

This is why I state that scouting leaves much room to be desired. Nwabali's ball distribution has been evident since his NPFL days. How come these clubs didn't know about it? That was Nwabali's calling card. Nothing he is doing now that he was not doing then. Go and watch his first game with Nigeria when Mexico beat Nigeria 4-0. He was stellar then when Mexico dotted him with all sorts of challenges and he stood out well in a poorly constructed team.

On the one hand you are wondering how we got to the “ridiculous level” of goalkeeping with Uzoho but on the other hand you are still pushing to get rid of Peseiro with absolutely no feasible back up (replacement) plans.
With that mindset, you are in danger of sinking to even more “ridiculous levels”, this time in the coaching department.

Do you even have any suggestions as to who u will want to replace an AFCON semi finalist (at least) coach with?
Are you an NFF official under cover?

Bros, if you have lived in a basement a long time, anything above will be "high corridors"

Playing in Omonia Nicosia is already a basement but when you are there and you ain't getting games, that's a bunker.

[Enugu II]

Nwabali is No 1, Okoye is No 2 and others will fight for No 3

Okoye needs to prove it in Nigeria's colors first. Why have you not included Adebayo? Yes, he does not have the height but in Nigeria's colors, he inspires more confidence than Okoye has yet done in those colors.

Since when are all those teams considered “high corridors”?

Since the respective councils approved planning permissions for one storey extensions. It’s understood all have used the same interior designer, sky lights, floor to ceiling windows and solar panels. The corridors are said to be higher than a Red Hot Chilli Pepper under the bridge.

Uzoho has lowered the standards.
Now you are left hailing a night-time baby as the next Michel Preud'homme.

ANC, in scouting (which is what this thread is somewhat about), if you wait too long, the talent is gone. My interpretation of the thread is s... scouts who recommend and clubs that listen, when it's time to open the wallet, have already seen something or seen enough and they are talking.

I was the same as you even after the Cameroon game. My verdict was... he's (Nwabili) okay, let's chill, as we might be reacting to the trauma of the Uzo and Okoye era. We celebrate any keeper that's okay.

However, I've changed my mind after the Angola game. A 21st-century goalkeeper is about being a decent, even average shot stopper and a good to great ball distributor. That throw that almost resulted in an assist for Oshimen vs Angola had $$$$$ signs all over it. That throw (the physical ability) and distribution awareness (ability to see it) right there are his money makers - that's what pushes him beyond basic. Scouts saw that, plus his distribution showing all through the tourney. When Uzouo came in, my biggest fear was his ball distribution would put us under pressure, not the opponent.

Nwabali is No 1, Okoye is No 2 and others will fight for No 3

Yeah, but while our goalkeeper [Nwabali] is good, our defense is doing a very good job for him as well.

More confidence amongst you the fans, or amongst the players?

You sure the players feel the same way about him as you do?

Bret Fart said I should tell you his Israeli league basket is better than all of them combined.

Nwabali is No 1, Okoye is No 2 and others will fight for No 3

[gochino]

And people still think that playing for Nigeria is a disadvantage. All these foreign born players wen dey do shakara should take note! This is exactly how Okoye blew.

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Almost every emerging new Nigerian player has been linked with Arsenal in the past. When Etebo, Simon even Sadiq emerged, they were all linked to Arsenal. I guess been linked to Arsenal is like a right of passage for new Nigerian players. I bet Yusuf will soon get his own link to Arsenal after Afcon.

even agent Brett has cooled down from hyping his own client after Nwabali came on board. Plus they didn’t take some of the midfielders he recommended. Leave that brother alone o. A hungry agent is an angry agent

Same here.

I love players who grab the opportunities they are given. Sadly or should I say fortunately, Uzoho became complacent and has lost his position. It would be difficult to regain.
