Re: Players with dual nationality who could join Super Eagles
Felix Agu should be on the list.
We need another right back/right wing back besides from Ola Aina who is also not playing regulary for his club.
Felix Agu has agreed to play for Nigeria but is yet to get a call (he stated in recent interviews).
He plays for Werder Bremen in the 2nd Bundesliga and is a regular for them. They are likely to be promoted to the Bundesliga (currently in 1st place).

Re: Players with dual nationality who could join Super Eagles
I think the dual nationality thing is misguided. If the players are top notch then sure, bring them in. But second div and weaker league bi-nats are another matter.

The Italian-Naija kid that plays in Udinese and on loan from Verona (Udogie) is also a solid prospect we could look out for.

Yujam
You capture my sentiments. We need all eligible players including those with dual nationality. What I do not like though is the neglect of home grown talent or chasing of all dual nationality players based on some difficult to measure criterion.
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: Players with dual nationality who could join Super Eagles
The most important priority for me is Joshua Zirkzee!! We don't have a quality finisher on that team. We badly need one. We cannot let this kid go the way of Tammy Abraham.

For the right-back postition there is also Kingsley Ehizibue, who already switched nationality to Nigeria, and he is playing regulary for FC Köln in the 1st Bundesliga.
Destiny Udogie is also a very good suggestion! He is still only 19 years old and could be our future!
Re: Players with dual nationality who could join Super Eagles
I totally disagree! Zirkzee would be useless for our team!
Zirkzee has failed in both Italy and Germany, especially in Italy he was awful.
On the contrary, Osimhen and Awonyi have always done well in Italy and Germany, they are 100 times better than Zirkzee, especially Osimhen.
Also Paul Onuachu, who plays in Belgium like Zirkzee, has done better than Zirkzee in the Jupiter League!
Then we have many other choices like Iheanacho etc.
So for me it's a big "no" to Zirkzee.
Re: Players with dual nationality who could join Super Eagles
The same way Osimhen "failed" in Germany with Wolfsberg abi? A 18yr old (at the time) getting minutes at Bayern and being sent on loan to develop is your definition of "failing in Germany?"pindal123 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 10, 2022 10:56 amI totally disagree! Zirkzee would be useless for our team!

He was injured in his loan spell in Italy, so I don't know how he "failed"
He is head and shoulders a superior talent to the players you listed above. To each his own.

Osimhen is our best striker by far, you can' t even compare Zirkzee with him!bushboy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 10, 2022 2:00 pm The same way Osimhen "failed" in Germany with Wolfsberg abi?

I can just remember this goal Zirkzee missed against Ajax, to show what a terrible finisher he is!
You say that he is superior than every player in my list, but also Onuachu scored so far more goals in the Jupiter League than Zirkzee , despite Onuachu is playing in a less competitive team.
Re: Players with dual nationality who could join Super Eagles
I get your point, but to post that as a "miss" is a stretch. He coolly rounded the keeper and was waiting for the ball to roll into the net without touching it again. A defender gets it out before it does. Poor decision? Absolutely!! But a "miss?" hardly.pindal123 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 10, 2022 4:54 pmOsimhen is our best striker by far, you can' t even compare Zirkzee with him!bushboy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 10, 2022 2:00 pm The same way Osimhen "failed" in Germany with Wolfsberg abi?

No yawa. We can agree to disagree.

Re: Players with dual nationality who could join Super Eagles
I recently watched some Destiny Udogie's matches with Udinese and he is outstanding, a real figher!
We must hurry to invite him before Italy does!
