[b][size=14pt] We Didn’t Pay Golden Eaglets 20,000 Naira – NFF Cries Out [/size]  NFF General Secretary, Mohammed Sanusi, has come out to deny the rumours going around the sports circle that the Golden Eaglets were paid ₦20,000 match bonus for winning the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup. Although the NFF General Secretary confirmed that the football body was cash strapped he stated that no official financial pledge has been made to the players. ‘It’s unfortunate that people can sell such stories to the public about a team that served this country and brought us such great honor. I wish to state clearly, that the Federation at no time paid ₦20,ooo to the victorious Eaglets. ‘ They’ve not been invited since the Honorable Minister hosted them on their arrival form Chile, plus the Federation is thin on funds now that we wouldn’t be able to stretch our commitments that far for now.’ The Nigerian Golden Eaglets defended the title Nigeria won in 2013 with 2-0 win over Mali in Chile earlier this month and i do hope they get more than a Presidential handshake for their impressive showing in the competition. http://greennews.ng/we-didnt-pay-golden-eaglets-20000-naira-nff-cries-out/ [/b] |

TheGoodJoe:My brother, the unthinkable is what happens at the NFF. They will just pocket the money and claim it entered the NFF account or that the money was used to settle debts. Better still, they may be waiting for the Presidency to host them and pay them the amount they are supposed to pay. Knowing fully well that, the government has never succeeded in probing the NFF finances, before or after major tournaments. 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Amuneke: Golden Eaglets Will Appreciate Whatever President Buhari Gives Us [/size] Golden Eaglets coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, reflects on his team’s performance in Chile during the FIFA U-17 World Cup finals. The former Super Eagles and Barcelona of Spain winger whose goals helped Nigeria to win the AFCON in 1994 and the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Soccer gold medal tells SAB OSUJI in this interview that the Golden Eaglets surprised their detractors. He also reveals that President Muhammadu Buhari’s interaction with the players motivated them going into the final match with Mali… Congratulations for leading the Golden Eaglets to retain the FIFA U-17 World Cup… Thank you. I must also say congratulations to all Nigerians. It is not a victory for Emmanuel Amuneke as a person but all Nigerians and we’re grateful to God for making our dream come true. You were an assistant coach when the Eaglets won the Cup two years ago in the United Arab Emirates, now you have retained the trophy for Nigeria. How are you savoring the victory? It’s nice to feel the happy mood of Nigerians over the Golden Eaglets’ victory in Chile. You cannot be happier seeing smiles on the faces of fellow country men and women who stayed awake to watch and support the team during the championship. Personally, I remain a humble man, a very humble Emmanuel Amuneke. I remain humble in the Lord for what He has done for us as a team, as a nation and for the young players. I’m also grateful to Nigerians who gave me the opportunity. If they had not given me the opportunity, I don’t think we’d be where we are today. When one has a gift from God, he should use such gift to the benefit of Nigerians, the nation and its citizens. We’ll continue to do what is right. We live in a nation of 170 million citizens so you don’t expect everybody to think the way you do. But in all, what counts most is the joy of Nigerians. Are you surprised the team won the Cup despite not winning the African Championship in Niger? The irony of it is that Nigerians had the belief that this team was not good probably because we did not win the African championship in Niger. They forgot that our aim of going to Niger was to strive and qualify for the World Cup which we did. Unfortunately, people, including journalists who came around to watch our training sessions still held the opinion that we were not good as a team. But I must say I’m grateful to them, because without their criticism, negative or positive, probably we would not have doubled our efforts to do our very best. We thank them (our critics), we don’t see them as enemies but friends who helped us achieve our set objective. We served this country in the past as players so we are friends to the media who really made us what we are today. We cannot begin now to see them as enemies, not at all. In Chile, we would play at 8pm, which is 12midnight here in Nigeria and people would still remain awake to watch and support us. It shows the love they have for the team. I can only advise that anyone who finds himself in a position of authority should think first of the joy and happiness of Nigerians and carry out his functions with the fear of God. Casting your mind back, which match do you remember was the toughest for your team at the championship? Every game we played was tough. And of course you know that the important match in a championship like this is usually the opening match. So the match against USA, being the beginning of the journey was nervy. After that, I can say the match against Mexico in the semi-final was even tougher. The semi-final match is just a game to the final. It’s like getting to the Heaven’s Gate and you realize you don’t have the key. Thank God we later found the key in our pockets to open the gate. Otherwise, coming from a goal down to win 4-2 was something else and showed the resilience and fighting spirit of the players. Remember, before then, we never fell behind in our previous games. Mexico was a strong side. It was like a derby match. Two years ago in Dubai, we defeated them in our group game 6-1 and later met them again in the final which we also won 3-0. So this time around, they came for revenge. Then in the final, people wrote us off, that Mali was going to beat us because they are African champions. I read a lot of comments to this effect but man’s voice is not the will of God. In Niger, we didn’t win the Cup. We came fourth but we thank God who made it possible for us to qualify for the World Cup. If we had not qualified for the World Cup, we would not have had the opportunity to let people know we are good as a team. The good thing is that we successfully defended our World Cup trophy. What changed in the team that finished fourth in the African Championship and the team that won the World Cup in Chile? There was really not much that changed. The objective of going to Niger was to qualify for the World Cup. We consider the African Cup a bonus if we had won for as long as we achieved our primary objective which was to get the ticket for Chile 2015. There were lots of setbacks. Most of the players we used in the qualifying series were knocked out by the MRI test which was authorized by FIFA because we were very keen on doing what is right. We can’t stop growth; that was the positive we took from all of that. It’s all a process. Like the Israelites, not all of them that set out for the journey to the Promised Land got there. Even Moses who started the journey could not reach the Promised Land, but the objective is getting there. So when we came back from Niger, we had to embark on a fresh search for young players to strengthen the team and I’m happy the exercise paid off. What makes you exceptionally happy that you won this World Cup? It is the players, I used to call them ‘refugee Eaglets’. This is the truth because nobody believed in them. They lacked virtually everything going into the championship but I’m happy the players have brought joy and happiness to millions of Nigerians, I’m happy for them. President Mohammadu Buhari has set November 29 as a date he will receive the Golden Eaglets at the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja. What manner of reward are you expecting from Mr President on that day? We’re grateful that we have achieved this feat. The future is what matters most. We are not setting agenda for our President. I’m happy he was the Head of State in 1985, when Nigeria won the Cup for the first time. I’m also happy he is the President who is in office for this historic victory and as his children, you don’t need to tell your father what he should do or give to you. For us, it was a privilege to talk with President, that was something special. This is a President who is determined to effect changes. We understand President Buhari spoke with the team on Skype before the final match against Mali. Yes, that is true. It showed he was following our games, who knows, he could as well be keeping awake late into the night to watch our games. So what impact do you think his interaction and singing of the Nigerian National Anthem with the players made on them before going into the game? It was a great moment. It is not often that you are on international assignment and you get to speak directly with your president, the No. 1 citizen of your country. It was a big motivation; the players, officials were touched emotionally. The motivation was great. It was as if he was physically present with us there in the stadium at Santiago, Chile. After winning the World Cup in Chile, what next? We have to remain focused. Nigeria can even win the Cup six, seven times or more but it depends on how we plan. Let me say this, people may not know that the group of players who will participate in the next edition of the championship will be players born in 2000. But all you see is players always struggling to move to Europe. We must always do the right things. We must always be seen to be doing the proper thing. This fire brigade approach to issues we seem to have imbibed in our system must be changed. We must plan and match our plans with concrete action. This is the kind of positive changes we are looking forward to. What was the players’ response to the President? They assured the President that they were going to work hard and ensure they won the Cup and they did. So we thank him and continue to pray to God that gives wisdom to those in positions of power and authority to realize that our people are suffering, for God to guide him and even the people around him, for them to have the wisdom to do their jobs for the good of the Nigerian masses. http://www.completesportsnigeria.com/amuneke-golden-eaglets-president-buhari/ [/b] 1 Like

As many as nine different agents have made contact with representatives of the Golden Boot winner of the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup as regards to a transfer to the Emirates. But Pinnick and his camp are in the driving seat as the NFF supremo is well connected within the corridors of power at the Gunners. Indeed, the former Chairman of Delta State Football Association has opened a line of communication with his good pal and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, instructing him that he should convince the club to acquire Osimhen. But it is not done and dusted that the 16 - year - old will be heading to Arsenal as Stellar Football Ltd, who represent ex Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale, are already in Nigeria for talks with Ultimate Strikers. Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are among the European powerhouses monitoring the transfer situation of Victor Osimhen with keen interest.

As a barca fan i am biased but i do see positives in him joining us. He can get polished by some of the best football teachers and we also have a team B that plays in the second division so he would be guaranteed action, only problem i would have with that are the chances of him making the first team. 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Ajax Join Man City, Liverpool In Chase For Nigerian Starlet [/size] By Biyi Akangbe Ajax Amsterdam are the latest club to be linked with Nigerian youngster Funsho Bamgboye. The Golden Eaglets forward has also attracted interest of top English sides like Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. A reliable source close to the Aspire Academy star told Complete Sports that the Dutch side are keen to secure the services of the player who was a key member of the Nigerian U-17 side that conquered the world earlier this month in Chile. "Several clubs have indicated interest in signing Funsho, but we don't want to do things in a hurry,'' the source told Complete Sports. "A lot of agents have also called him saying a lot of sweet things. "Ajax are a good club, but we will be careful in determining the club he will join at the end of the day." The Eredivisie side have a rich history of Nigerian players who made their names at the club. Top on the list are the duo of Finidi George and Nwankwo Kanu who won the UEFA Champions League with the club in 1995. The likes of Tijani Babangida and Pius Ikedia have also featured for the club. http://www.soccernet.com.ng/2015/11/ajax-join-man-city-liverpool-in-chase.html [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] Agent: Barcelona Never Offered Victor Osimhen a Deal [/size] Victor Osimhen’s intermediary, Shira Yussuf , has played down reports linking the Golden Boot winner at the 2015 FIFA Under 17 World Cup with a possible switch to European champions Barcelona. Reports back in his homeland had claimed that the Azulgranas were keen on landing the signature of the Golden Eaglets sensation, with a certain Ryan Hartsfield expected in Lagos to thrash out a one million euros deal with representatives of the teenager. But Yussuf has reiterated that Ultimate Strikers have not received a concrete approach from Barcelona but will not turn down the Spanish powerhouse if they come knocking on the door. “Barcelona have not offered one million euros for Osimhen, It was funny reading the report because they have not made contact with us, ” Shira Yussuf told allnigeriasoccer.com. “There is nothing official from Barcelona or their representatives. When the Tottenham Hotspur news came out, it wasn’t from us and nobody should be worried. “We know the clubs talking to us and Barcelona is not one of them. If Barcelona are really interested and approach us, we will listen to them.” Osimhen is currently in Gambia training with Nigeria’s Olympic National Team ahead of their participation at the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations. http://www.soccernet.com.ng/2015/11/agent-barcelona-never-offered-victor.html [/b] |

Hmmm . This thread is already on page 2 even before the team is formed. Na Page 1000 we dey go be dat o.  Mennn can't wait to see the next Flying Eagles. I expect the 2017 Team to be better than that of the 2015. I Expect to see an Awoniyi and Osimhen strike partnership. Likely attacking midfielders/supporting strikers: Musa Yahaya, Ifeanyi Mathew, Chinedu Obasi, Samuel Chukwueze, Chidera Ezeh, Funsho Bamgboye, Kingsley Michael, Orji Okonkwo, Ebere Osinachi. Likely central/defensive midfielders: Akinjide Idowu, David Enogela, Kelechi Nwakali, Habeeb Makanjuola,. Likely defenders: Musa Mohamed, John Lazarus, Udochukwu Anumudu, Ejike Ikwu, Zakari(forgotten his first name) and the fantabulous Goalie: Akpan Udo. I also expect players from the NPFL that fall withing the age bracket to be in the team. The difference between the 2017 and 2015 U20 would be that the 2017 set will be more matured and experienced as a good number of them have already signed professional contracts and would have played at professional levels for atleast 1 1/2 to 2 yrs before playing at the U20 WC. The last time we went with mostly academy players and believe me or not that played a major role in our outing. Most of The following players hu were part of the last U20 and are eligible for the next U20 have signed professional contracts and are integral parts of their team's league campaigns: Musa Mohamed Taiwo Awoniyi Chidera Ezeh Akinjide Idowu Ifeanyi Mathew Musa Yahaya (to sign contract with Spurs once he clocks 18) This is already half of a starting 11 and the experience of the above listed players will come to fore if they feature in another WYC. Some stand-out players from the 2015 U17 would also have penned down contracts with European clubs and then with d inclusion of some stand out youth players in the NPFL what we would have is an U20 that is ready to challenge for the tittle. 2 Likes |

Investigations by Mowizsoccer has it that the 17 year old who is presently in Kaduna was a victim of disagreements between his nursery team Mutunchi Academy and his agent Babawo Mohammed. The Mutunchi Academy prospect who was expected to be offered professional contract when he turns 18 next year will now be released as controversies continue to trail his move to Tottenham Hotspurs. Tottenham Hotspurs who were neck deep in talks with his agent Babawo Mohammed but were forced to pull the plug on the deal after his nursery team Mutunchi alleged the agent was trying to dupe them. An Under-17 World cup winner with Nigeria in 2013,Yahaya have been training with Spurs reserve team the last one year but have been in Kaduna,Nigeria since Nigeria elimination from the Under-20 World cup this year. The Kaduna born forward is now reportedly drumming interest from Spanish La-Liga side Celta Vigo as Spurs have made it clear he won't be retained. However his nursery team Muntunchi are still going to be paid the balance of the fee they are owed by Spurs which was supposed to be paid when he turns 18 next year. http://mowizsoccer..nl/2015/11/spurs-to-release-musa-yahaya-in-january.html?m=1[/b] 1 Like |

Nwakali, Samuel Chukwueze, David Enogela and Joel Osikel have been signed by foremost players’ agents Stellar Group, who manage several top stars including Gareth Bale.

Despite the tightening of restrictions on foreign youngsters moving to England, Nwakali is expected to be granted a work permit when he turns 18 using the special talent clause.

BlackAlbino6: One thing is sure, these young men are in good hands. They are with managers who know the business of nurturing young talents. The only problem is that these men treat football as business, they will not sell until they see the right value for the player. That was why Bale's move to Real Madrid took a very long time and landed at an astronomical fee. Apart from that, good deal. I wonder why Stellar group did not get Osimhen. He would have been a good investment. 1 Like |
