To be honest ,I am just happy we are now spoilt for choice in the goalkeeping department of the Super Eagles after haemorrhaging for sometime.
Third and fourth choices Amas Obasogie and Olorunleke Ojo can confidently hold their own if called upon.
I think Francis Uzoho has some goodwill with powerful people in the NFF. But, even those shadowy NFF people will now struggle to justify the invitation of Uzoho (who has made zero appearance for his club in 6 games this season) ahead of highly gifted and sharper options.
Adebayo Adeleye, who failed to impress former Super Eagles coaches, is actually doing better when it comes to clocking game-time in club football to be sharp. He has kept in all six games for his club in Cyprus this season, conceding 12 goals in that time. But, playing in Cyprus division 2 is seen as a negative in the eyes of many fans.
However, if we can invite Rwanda, Somalia and Sudan based goalkeepers as number 3 in the Super Eagles, then I struggle to see how we can slam Adeleye based on the calibre of his league.
For me, the fact Adeleye is first choice goalkeeper in his club should punch enough tickets to warrant his involvement and invitation to the Super Eagles.
All in all, I am just happy that the Super Eagles department is in safe hands with a formation that offers ample protection.
