As Damunk saied CB is a weak link for Super Eagles: Balogun is quite old now and not even a starter at Rangers, and Ekong isn't that good.
Bassey' s rise as CB is a great new for us, and also with the likes of Ajayi, Ndah, Ozornwafor we can sleep peacefully.
For the left-back Sanusi is still a good option, but my favourite choice would be Destiny Udogie, if we would be able to cap tie him it would be great.

CB is where we are running thin on the ground. Ekong and Balogun are weak links.
By the way, its Celtic, not Celtics.

Imagine if he was the last man to be blown past. Nothing againt him, but we need to start demanding excellence and consistency. "Old man" Balogun has been consistent for Nigeria! Let someone beat him out first.

Bassey I think will be better for us as a centre back where he will not be exposed for pace as much as on the flanks.

It's a plus he can also play LB, but I think we need to groom him as our CB for the next decade.

I’m not sure he is any slower than Ekong or Balogun.
He’s probably pacier, especially Balogun who we know is a slow coach.
The way he recovered in some of those 1-on1s vs Eintracht Frankfurt was impressive.

This means you don't even know who Destiny Udogie is!
You should watch some of him before making these kind of statements.
If we wait as you say, we will see him soon with the Italy shirt, and we can say goodbye for ever to a 19 years old talent!

He might choose his adopted country first, but if we hurry up and call him first there is a chance he can play for us at senior level.

And so what?! That's exactly why i'm saying we must cap tie him soon, otherwise Italy will do!

Sunset wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 6:53 pm So what? That is a clear indication that he only has his eyes set on Italy and they also recognize his talents, so I don't know how you think we can just convince him to play for us like that. Its not that simple

1Naija doesn't understand the game, yes he was beaten up field on the wing on a counter after he had busted his lungs getting up field. He wouldn't be doing that from the CB position, just like Ekong and Balogun have not been subjected to those kinds of one v one chases from the opponents half. And its not like Ekong or Balogun are any faster than Bassey, I just don't think he's fast enough/nimble enough to play LB/LWB, but his speed is more than sufficient for the CB role. And he's currently beating out Balogun for that position at his club. I think we should try him there and leave the LB/LWB to the likes of Sanusi and Collins that have more pace and are more nimble.

Man! Maceo is saying that Bassey works better as CB than LB. There is nothing to do with Aina!

As for Balogun, he has been beated by Bassey at his club , and you still would pick him?
Everyone can see that Bassey's is much better in the 1vs1!
If you think that Balogun and Ekong are our best defenders because they did well against Ghana, tell us how many 1vs1 they won or how many clean tackles they did. Or just admit that Ghana is a poor team with only few good players, one of them is Partey who scored, and that's why our defenders seemed to be good in that match.

1naija wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 8:17 pm And I am saying when Bassey played for the SE he was left chopping dust by the Ghanaian player more than once, therefore he cannot be better at CB for the SE where he will have no one like Balogun to cover for him. Maceo then said he (Bassey) chopped dust from the Ghananese blowing past him BECAUSE he had busted his lung bombing forward. I merely pointed to him another player (Aina) that constantly busted his lungs bombing forward in the same game but was not for once left in the dust.
Now you see what this had to do with Aina? It's not rocket science...

I could laugh for days after your statement, it doesn’t make sense!

Anyway did you see Bassey playing the Europa League final? Or you think that there was Balogun playing that match that was covering for him! You should watch that game and others by Rangers.
