I thought war bids would be flying around for world best IGHALO considering the clueless and yes sir man EGUAVOEN and his crew didn’t consider AWONIYI Worthy of a place in their ill-fated WC playoff squad.
Imagine the the serial failure of a coach not having the balls to feature WORLD BEST IGHALO over two legs. Who does that??
It was Pinnick who removed Awoniyi’s name from the list and replaced it with his boy, Ighalo.
Also, he decided to put Sadiq Umar on the list to satisfy a segment of the country.
Umar is a Quality player but Ighalo name had no business on that list over Awoniyi.. Neither did Musa over Victor Moses.. Vic Moses should have been there you would think with his displays at this years Europa League and his contributions to our 2018 Qualification Fans and NFF officials would have seen his utmost importance to the team. but NO!! Nigeria will always push Quota system then turn around and point fingers at the wrong root of the problem Nigeria is going to dig ourselves even further down a HOLE!!! if the Mentality in this country does not change
Ighalo was the only one that would have scored the best goal of his life if only Eguashit has had the courage to start Ighalo from the beginning. He placed Sadiq Umar to please the Northerners like Dangote.
@Edoman ; you no go kill person with laugh ; Sunday-Sunday footballer retired Igahalo is a finished product and selfish without shame
In his comeback game for Rohr, he started fooling himself along with the Zombie white skin super Coach Rohr a.k.a Belmadi’s trainee, by playing hide and sick game with his reporting to SE camp so that he would not play in away match ;
He was greatly exposed at home against a lowly rated team Cape Verde ; his shambolic performance was so shameful even to the embarrassment of his poor Zombie Coach Rohr who had to shamefully pleading with Nigerians to give the complete flopped Igahalo time to adapt, with equally awkward alibi and laughable shameless excuse , blaming his outrageous flopped before he was removed in the second half to his being away from SE for 2 years.
Eguafon who himself is an upgraded local version of Rohr dared not used him against Ghana in an explosive games in away , nor can he start him at home , because the basic truth was Eguafon never needed retired flopped Igahalo for football reasons, just as his foreign version Rohr never needed Sunday-Sunday rich Igahalo for football reason other than the financial bailout to the coach as orchestrated by the super corrupt Amaju Pinick who actually know how to have his way by sapping both Rohr and Eguafon salary ( how could one would have expected the two unpaid coaches to survive without the likes of unmerited retired Igahalo who is always ready to dispense with his Saudi oil money, at the expense of Nigerian nation)
@ Edoman ; honestly speaking with tribal sentimental people like you plus the super corrupt Amaju with his tribal sentiment of Edo united , Nigerian football will never moved forward.
You all overhyped Sunday Sunday football with comic news of premiership clubs Newcastle in particular was ready to priced him out of Saudi club ( I laughed )
We are not only waiting for when Liv or Manchester will bring back Sunday- Sunday footballer back to the high tempo Premiership , but we are waiting when the unpatriotic self Sunday- Sunday footballer would retire after helping SE qualify for the next WC
The whole confusion was brought on us by Rohr. We had so many chances to have tried an Awoniyi and Osimhen combo in a two-prong attack.
We had windows with Cameroon, Algeria, Tunisia, Liberia games. 6years was enough time for Rohr to have assembled a world-beater. Opportunities with deadrubber games were passed up to have players and circumstantial systems tested… against Ghana in both legs… 3-5-2 will have saved us and met us Dominate Ghana.
@Jimmyball thank you not just that This Interference in the List came to a explosion at the Ghana Playoffs as Nigeria for the first time Barring Awoniyi, Victor Moses, Ejuke and Kevin Akpoguma selected her best legs with the exception of Ahmed Musa, Odion Ighalo and Abdulahi Shehu. this team should have been selected right from the CAR and Liberia Games and kept together all through AFCON then Come Ghana at least they would have had some Cohesion.. But No we want to carry finished players to 200caps NFF president personally flying to Dubai to include his boy and Tampereing with the list at every opportunity. Well it has now come to unravel on us. but you know What the sad thing is @JimmyBall? a month or 2 when the dusk settles and it is internationals again If you don’t see Ahmed Musa name with Odion Ighalo and some NPFL nonentities on the next list call me a lier as these rogues from NFF and some Deluded Nigerian fans have already started apportioning blame on our foreign exports and some of our young jewels the worst is yet to come for Super Eagles watch the space
Moving from a small club to another small club is no progress, you don’t see this shit with South American or European players, it’s European tactics to make sure African players are kept low and our greedy African managers are only after what they can make out of African players instead of promoting them to bigger clubs and ensuring that they make it to the top of their game. Just my opinion.
Just IHEANACHO moved from a ‘small’ MAN CITY to a ‘small’ LEICESTER, or OSIMHEN moved from a small LILLE to a smaller NAPOLI or or RICHARLISON moved from a ‘big’ WATFORD to a ‘big’ EVERTON
Stop smoking that ‘thing’ una no go hear word!
