Tella Hopes For A Nigeria Call
So he’s in the bag.
Like he says, he just needs to prove himself worthy (read: “no quota, no favours” ) and if called, he will come.

Bayer's England star Tella hopes for a call from Nigeria
Bayers England-Star Tella hofft auf Nigeria-Anruf
https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/baye ... e.com%252F
During the first international break of the season, Victor Boniface (22) made his debut for the Nigerian senior national team in a 6-0 win against Sao Tomé and Principe in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. However, the new striker from Bayer Leverkusen may not be the only national player for Nigeria that the Werkself will have to release in the future.
Because: The Englishman Nathan Tella (24) also has a Nigerian passport; his parents come from Nigeria. The dream of the new Leverkusen winger is a call-up for Nigeria's national team - Tella revealed that during his presentation at the BayArena.
Tella: "I've always said for the last three or four years that Nigeria is a big part of my life - even though I've been an 'England boy' from London all my life."
Tella has already made his decision
Tella was born in Lambeth, a southern borough of London. He never played for the English FA selection. There was apparently no contact with the Nigerian association yet. However, the player has already made a decision for himself.
“If I got the chance to play for Nigeria, I would be more than happy and accept it. I've already told my parents and friends that I would do that," explains Tella, who was trained at Arsenal FC's youth academy and always followed the African Championship games with great interest.
Leverkusen's most expensive purchase of the transfer summer - he came from FC Southampton for just under 20 million euros - but also knows that he still has a way to go to play for the "Super Eagles": "You're not just nominated like that, You have to work for it and earn it. I want to prove myself here if I get the chance to play. I want to develop further, help the team and the club – if a call comes for an international call-up, that would be a bonus.”

With Musa seemingly out of SE he does have a chance to get that 4th winger spot if he starts performing regularly for a strong Bayer team. However, what we need to see the most from him are assists, crosses and the ability to keep thing tight in MF.

He should replace Nacho.
Nacho is the one taking the 4th winger spot. Undeservedly.

I'm hearing Peseiro is monitoring Folorunsho and Tella for possible call ups ahead of the WCQs

Call to do what? Be a water boy?

We already have quality players that can go wide. Besides, Chukwueze, Lookman, and Simon whom are traditional wingers. The likes of Moffi and Orban, etc. has great potential to go wide as well. We also have good full backs like Zaidu, Osayi, Aina, etc. etc. that are good with crosses from the wide. Nathan just have to up his games and bring in something that can make him a consideration for the Super Eagles. We are currently loaded in attack, and he may just be surplus to requirement, even Akpom and Orban are not even considered as it stands.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 6:16 am With Musa seemingly out of SE he does have a chance to get that 4th winger spot if he starts performing regularly for a strong Bayer team.

I just wish it was raining this way in our central defence.
And maybe even enjoy the ‘Cameroonian rains’ in the goalkeeping area….

Absolutely, Goalkeeping is our weakest link. Uzoho no be am. Lets pray that Okoye comes back to reckoning with Udinese.Damunk wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 10:21 amLike they say, ‘when it rains, it pours’.onovo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 10:08 amWe already have quality players that can go wide.

Re: Tella Hopes For A Nigeria Call
The division 2 benchwarmer needs to be chased out of the Super Eagles asap. Nathan Tella with Leverkusen has a better club profile than him. Even Akpom and Orban has more decent profile. "Operation say no to division 2 benchwarmers and backwater league players". Our Super Eagles is a brand which most be hold to high esteem.vancity eagle wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 6:24 am He should replace Nacho.

You are just hating because Bret hart's clients are getting calls to the SE... none of yours are even on the radar. You have no eye for quality footballers

Re: Tella Hopes For A Nigeria Call
Nathan shoots effectively with both feet and is also a good central midfielder. He is not just a winger.
Boniface was a midfielder before he became a winger and then a wide forward. He can do it all and also shoots with both feet. So can Simon.
Nacho and Samu are one footed.
As for goalkeepers, Atubolu should be convinced to give Ojo, Adebayo, Maduka and Uzoho a run for their money.

Re: Tella Hopes For A Nigeria Call
So what should he do? Kill his dream and retire from international football? Moffi did not get called up the last time, should he also have given up and retire? After all, we already have quality players in the CF position.onovo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 10:08 amWe already have quality players that can go wide.

Nathan plays for one of the best performing teams in Europe. Truth is that he should be in contention for a call up, if there was fairness in our selection process. Anyway, with his amazing display for Burnley last season, I have no doubt that like Boniface, he will make it impossible for the coach to ignore him.

Re: Tella Hopes For A Nigeria Call
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Re: Tella Hopes For A Nigeria Call
He has a blistering pace and a quick foot like Samu. My point is he has to raise up his game to be in contention for attack. Yes, definitely he is far way better than that division 2 benchwarmer disguising as a star boy. As it stands, the division 2 benchwarmer must leave for Nathan/Orban to be considered.danfo driver wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 2:47 pmSo what should he do?

Re: Tella Hopes For A Nigeria Call
Watching him in the Europa league today against Molde. Let's see how he performs.
Btw, Levurksen is flying at the moment. They are at the top of thr Bundesliga and have won all their games this season with the exception of a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich.
