"I DON'T WANT 'EXTRA TYRES' IN MY TEAM!" - Keshi

Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has said his side will call up players who can not add value to his team ahead of the FIFA World Cup next year.

Lately the names of captain, Joseph Yobo, Ikechukwu Uche, Taiye Taiwo, Osaze Odemwingie, among several others have been mentioned as possible comeback to the Super Eagles.

Keshi said it amounts to wishful thinking for anybody to believe he will bring back a player that is not better than the ones in his fold at the moment.
"It will be senseless to invite any new player who has nothing new or value higher to add to what I've at present in camp.

"Of course, I won't indulge in such fruitless exercise no matter the trappings.
"I've indicated that new players will be brought in to strengthen the side but it will be players who are far better than the ones that toiled for the ticket.
"The World Cup is not a platform to try players but a showpiece for tested and experienced players.
"We'll accommodate the best that will deliver the goods at the World Cup," said the former national team captain.
