LASK of Austria goalkeeper, Tobias Lawal, has teamed up with the Super Eagles currently in camp ahead of the upcoming international friendly engagements against Algeria and Tunisia.
The arrival of Lawal has increased the number of goalkeepers in camp to four, now alongside Dele Alampasu, Mathew Yakubu and Maduka Okoye.
Coach Gernot Rohr is still searching for a top goalkeeper for the Super Eagles hence the gaffer’s readiness to try out new players between the sticks for Nigeria.

Big boys….
No be small. So many prospects. I just hope we pick the right ones for the team.
Ezenwa…going going gone…!
Akpeyi…going going…….
Francis Uzoho….use your side mirror o!
I no go talk pass that one.
We’re fully ready, the Lord is our strength gernot rohr please choose a better shot stopper ooo,one love Nigeria,one love super eagles keep soaring nonstop
This ROHR is something else….
I remember when he came on board we were struggling for a reliable RIGHT BACK… We tried so many people there but non gave us what we wanted… But today we have them in abundant….
Even the LEFT BACK where only ECHIEJILE was the boss, we were still having issues but the problem is over bcos the left back on ground is something else (COLLINS, SANUSI, BASSEY, OKORJI and one UTIN(former U20captain)….
Even our right backs (AINA & EBUEHI) can as well do wonders in that role…
We’ve been crying for GK for a while and i strongly believe we’ll one day have them in abundant….
It has happened….
The happiest thing is that: just like the FULLBACKS that are still under the age of 25 meaning, they can perform for the next 5 or 6 years coming…..
Our 4 young GK (UZOHO, OKOYE, LAWAL, MATTHEW) are still under the age of 23 apart from ALAMPASU who i think is 24….
Yes we have the team but the technical crew is bad.
@Stan…
Meanwhile u are wasting here in CSN….
why not go and apply for one of the post of the technical crew….
Lubbish…..
Let me still drop this comment again…..
This ROHR is something else.
I remember when ROHR came we were struggling 4 a reliable RB.
We tried so many people there but non gave us what we wanted.
But today we’ve them in abundant.
The LB where only ECHIEJILE was the boss, we were having issues, but that storm was weathered since the arrival of COLLINS.
And today we have SANUSI, (BASSEY, OKORJI & one UTIN(former U20captain) waiting for call-ups).
Don’t forget AINA & EBUEHI can handdle that role.

KUDOS TO OGA ROHR & his TECHNICAL CREW for steadying this mighty ship that was about sinking.
IF U HATE ROHR U ARE ON UR OWN, I REPEAT; U ARE ON UR OWN & I THING SUCH A PERSON IS MORE WICKED THAN A WITCH.
Ever since Rohr took over the Super Eagles job every player with dual citizenship wants to play for the Super Eagles. IF U HATE ROHR U ARE ON UR OWN, I REPEAT; U ARE ON UR OWN & I THINK SUCH A PERSON IS MORE WICKED THAN A WITCH.
…..and by the time other natural wingers like Ademola Lookman,Noah Sarenren Bazee,Bright Osayi-Samuel,Hilary Gong and Nathan Tella join the likes of Chidera Ejuke,Samuel Kalu,Samuel Chukwueze,Moses Simon and Henry Onyekuru to run down our flanks with awesome dribbles,blistering pace and dazzling runs ,then the Super Eagles can just demolish any opposition! So many prospects in all departments of the Super Eagles.
God bless you,Gernot Rohr.
Before GR took over we have players with dual citizenship playing for nigeria. V moses. E ekoku. R agbola. Iwobi. Ekong. Dike. Balogun. Dele. Ikeme. Abey george. Osaze. Uko. Ugo Uka. These guys have been playing for nigeria before GR took over. Recently GR your magician failed to convince T Abraham. Tomori. Bilng. Saka. Eze.
@Stan, so what’s your point?
Exactly….in fact, I was about to ask the same question…? ‘So what exactly is his point’…LMAO. Just looking for every way and means to undermine Gernot Rohr….LMAO…people wey GR don cause hunger and sadness for their life…Lolz.
Even when its all over the press that it was Pinnick who was running to london to go and beg Tammy, tomori, eze, saka and co…he still attributed it to GR just to make himself happy…Lolz
@Sean he doesn’t have any point, he is just beating around the bush, due to his hatred for Rohr. looking for excuses where non exist.
Rohr go force them and cap them against their wish,so that FIFA go ban us abi
Help me ask this Stan of manooh. Is GR going to force them? What we are trying to esterblish here is that the exodus or should I say, the influx of such categories of players has become more pronounced in his era.So much so that three or more players in the same position are available for him to choose from. This is in contrast to the past when just few of them turned up. GR promised he was going to lure many of such players. I think he deserves a pat on the back for fulfilling his promises, period!.
If oga Rohr didn’t start this guy on Friday then we are in trouble ( he must remove fear as super eagles fear no foes and play this guy)
He has distinguished himself from today’s training, well drilled and composed, couple with his height which counts to his advantage.
Again akpoguma is fit enough to start.
@stan I enjoyed reading your comments, you and @Ade have distinguished yourselves from others.
Big ups!
