Lets not clutch at straws. They arent.

And he took an MLS player over a player in Bundesliga - Frank Onyeka.

And an NPFL and EPL relegator fighter over 2 players in la Liga.

[danfo driver]

Guess he found a way to include the so-called 3 NPFL players in his contract.

Papa Daniel will finally get his move abroad - "Nigerian International"

[bret- hart]

Hmmm. Kayode Bankole has NO Buisness with Super Eagles. Why only 6 defenders?? No Onyeka Frank, No uche? no Emmanuel Dennis?? WTH???

Where is Chrisantus Uche? Onyeka? How is Aribo in the final 23?

Where is Chrisantus Uche? Onyeka? How is Aribo in the final 23?

He was playing defence when Relegation-bound Southampton was being battered 4-0, week in, week out. Last week, against Liverpool, the coach was too afraid and benched his a55 again.

But dont worry, Chelle needs him in midfield and he can "help" in defense.


The good thing is that time will work things out. The same way time phased out Musa and Iheanacho, when Onyeka, Bashiru, Christantus continue to perform at the highest level and Aribo is in Div 2, the coach will have no choice but to grow up.

Midfield is thin, although we could class Simon Moses and Samuel Chukwueze as midfield....

You can also count Tella as a midfielder.

But wait o! Arauko? I thought you liked different thinking? Shouldnt you be smiling and asking the coach - "Sir, please can you give me your own side of the story?"

Why are we making excuses?

[iworo]

I'm just glad that Musa and Kelechi didn't make the list. However, I'm curious about how Aribo was selected. Was it truly based on merit?

Not really, to be candid, I see no justification of how an MLS backwater league player like Alhassan would make the team at the expense of Uche Chrisantus. Even if Onyeka was not preferred due to his lack of ball playing skill. At least he is better than Alhassan. Anyway This is Chelle's initial outing, I give him benefits of doubt.

Does Al Hassan have ball playing skills?

Anyway, I'd have said I cant wait for him to defend his list at a press conference like any civilized society does, but the media is filled with corrupt criminals. So whats the point.

That was puzzling given the midfielders available.

We are saying the same thing, look at the bolded statement.

Bret-Hart will collapse when he sees Umar and doesnt see Dessers

THE GOOD

No Musa. He and his PR team can fock off.

4 wingers and the return of Tella. We often only have 3 in a squad.

THE BAD

Only 3 central defenders.

No Ejuke. For a team that struggles with creativity, he should have found his way into this team.

It seems the 3 homebased players thing is official. The NFF are corrupt clowns.

THE DOWNRIGHT SCANDALOUS

Papa Daniel ? Over Onyeka, Uche Chrisantus, Fisayo

Lets celebrate the small wins. We have finally FORCED Musa and Iheanacho out of the team - hopefully for good. Those who are eating from the pot will now need to go and look for a dang job!

Next step is loading.

Step by step, brother. We will prevail.
