*** FOR ABOUT THE INVITATION OF HOMEBASE PLAYERS, we should not be deceiving ourselves about them(homebase) because none of the homebase players are READY to GIVE STIFF COMPETITION against the foreign professionals. NFF should be inviting homebase players for CHAN COMPETITION/QUALIFIER to prove themselves. THEN ANY HOMEBASE PLAYERS CLAIMING THAT HE IS GOOD TO BE IN SUPER EAGLE setting, SHOULD PROVE IMPROVE IN CHAN COMPETITION/QUALIFIER.
*** BUT WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE INVITATION OF NEW FOREIGN BASE CONSISTENT PLAYERS LIKE ADEBAYO- ADELEYE, S.OSIGWE, EBUEHI, OSAYI, JORDAN-TORUNARIGHA, BRUNO-ONYEMAECHI, ONYEDIKA, ALHASSAN, GIFT--ORBAN, AKPOM, DESSERS,. BONIFACE, EJARIA, EJUKE: ANY OF THESE PLAYERS, FOR SURE , CAN RIVAL OR GIVE A STIFF COMPETITION FOR INCUMBENT PLAYERS FOR SHIRT/POSITION..
FOR INSTANCE: It is very certain that
@ ADELEYE , OSIGWE can rival IZOHO, OKOYE for super eagle number one shirt.
@ EBUEHI, OSAYI can rival AINA for no. 2 position
@ JORDAN-TORUNARIGHA, BRUNO-ONYEMAECHI can rival ZAIDU, COLLINS, BASSEY for no. 3 position
@, ONYEDIKA, ALHASSAN can rival NDIDI, ONYEKA for no. 4 position
@ GIIT ORBAN, AKPOM, DESSERS, BONIFACE can rival ONUACHU, SADIQ, IHEANACHO, AWONIYI for no. 8 and 9 position
@ EJARIA, AMAO, OLISE, EJUKE can rival ARIBO, IWOBI, SIMON FOR no 10 and 11 position AND SO ON.
WE NEEDZ TO INVITE & GIVE CHANCES TO ALL THIS NEW PLAYERS to really know who can FIT-IN into Super eagle setting/position.
