Feelings? How did you come to this 'thoughts'. You mean he has no room for growth an/or improvement? :shock:
Beacause I haven't seem him improve much in the 4 or 5 yesrs he's played in Europe.
You can't be serious!

You have to look at his speed, height, technical abilities, strength, the position he's currently playing, supporting players, if he is the best player on a bad team most likely he's not going to shine. Playing time is also important! I have seen huge improvements since his under 20 days
He was never the best player at Venlo or Brugge. His goal scoring ratio is also not impressive for an attacker or midfielder

Hopefully Uchebo makes the WC squad. When I said this a few years back a few called me opaks yarner! In fact some of the opaks yarners went ahead to dig out the thread laughing at me. Well, they say Keshi knows best right? Keshi agrees with Kolinzo! If A=B, B=C. therefore do the math...

I would like to see him used as a playmaker against Scotland, so we can see if he is OK to fill that role. I will be looking forward to a midfield trio of Azeez, Joel and Uchebo against Scotland.

Playmaker? You guys can be so funny at times. Have you re-watched the Mexico game where he was tried just in front on the midfield? This guy will be the biggest flop at the WC if selected for the playmaker role.

Well. We don't need another "support Striker" who can't score for country. Kanu was a great club player but outside of his Olympics heroics he was an average player for Nigeria so we don't need to duplicate him, Okocha or any of the other overrated players we've had. What Nigeria need is another Yobo because after this testimonial WC that Blatter has organized for him we will be in deep shait.
