Nigeria never got the best out of this talent in his prime, very sad. all Thanks to Gernot Rohr, the same Rohr that would hve caused us to miss out of Calvin Bassey’s talents. I guarantee you if Rohr was in Charge we will still see, Zaidu Sanusi (deserved) in that position with Jamilu Collins as the other preferred LB. Rohr was not even aware of Bassey’s versatility Oya Rohr lovers what do you have to say to this?.
Hmmm , I am not a Rohr fan but the last time I checked coach Egus handled the team just after Rohr and did not invite him. If he is so good , how come he can not attract teams from other parts of Europe? The best he can get is Saudi, I laugh in Spanish…lol.
Some fans will have us believe that he is the best forward and he is better than Simon, chukwueze,lookman, dennis etc
.
He had his chance with the SE but flopped big time.
