Yes Danny Shittu big fan of his. Wasn't the most athletic or technical of players but his work ethic, determination and big heart stood him out for me among the defenders of the mid 2000 era

To be honest I don't buy into the Fabian hype. Still needs to prove himself club wise

Thank God I wasn't the one who said this this time around.
As I said I wish our U20 team is still in contention.

Look at Sadiq Umar's case. Nothing we no hear. Some even said he had replaced Dzeko at AS Roma. Some even felt he could be better than Ighalo in training.

Thank God for the Olympics we for still no fit hear word for this thread.

I feel the NFF should organise an U20 tourney or another super6 or Super4 tourney with our U20/21 players competing against NPFL club sides. We need to see how ready some of these our youngsters are for senior team action.

I would want to see players like Stanley Amuzie, Dozie Awaziem, Nura Abdulahi, Musa Mohammed, Azubuike, Chidi Nwakali, Kelechi Nwakali, Orji Okonkwo, Obinna Nwobodo, Ifeanyi Mathew, Musa Yahaya,Kingsley Michael, Onyekuru, Taiwo Awoniyi, Victor Osimhen, Sadiq Umar, Samuel Chukwueze among others plus the Fabian guy. This is a pool of highly talented teens and 20yrs olds. We need to harvest the best of them to start training with the Super Eagles.
The tourney can be played at end of European season which is June.Our remaining WC qualifiers starts in August. So, who knows? A couple of these boys could make it into the Super Eagles.

We wasted that Korea U19 tourney, we could have used that opportunity.

So Rohr should invite every 20yr old in Europe to try out with Nigeria's men national team? Do you think the Nff have that kind of money to throw around?

Sadiq Umar is even in a better position than Fabian. He is in the first team of Bologna and has come in as a sub, several times. Fabian is yet to find his feet. I do not think, he is even close to be ready.

FIFA has officially voted to expand the World Cup to 48 teams!!

@Joseph1013 n terzurum. Why did u guys drop ur red paint for a water colour. The bolded fonts u use before is more appealling to d sight.

Icon79:


True sha. Because after our coach moved up top, he usually complains that I am playing too deep. He assumes that it's because I "enjoy the game too much". But I don't totally trust that coach because he tends to blame me for practically everything. I can score two goals but if we lose, he would ask why I didn't score three!

Icon79:
LOL. Nathan Ake is much better shape than Kenneth, to be quite honest with you. Ake has been putting up MOM performance in Bournemouth since last season. So why wouldn't Chelsea recall him? In fact, I woul've been surprised if they didn't. But Kenneth, on the other seems to have regressed. So trying to compare the two situations doesn't make sense.

Musa much better, confident - Ranieri

Leicester City's manager, Claudio Ranieri has warned defenders in Europe that his Nigerian import, Ahmed Musa is much better than he was two months ago, stressing that:”Now he is more confident and for me much better.”


Basking in the euphoria of watching Musa score two goals that guaranteed Leicester a passage into the fourth round of England’s most prestigious football competitions, the FA Cup, Ranieri said: “He was used to playing in Russia. In Russia he scored a lot of goals because he was quicker than the other defenders. Here everyone is quick and strong. Now he is more confident and for me much better.


“It is important for Musa because I saw him in the last month and he is much better. Maybe he understands better the Premier League, the fight, and everything.


He was a very good threat to Everton,” Ranieri told Leicester Mercury.


“It was similar to Jamie Vardy. Everybody was calmer when he attacked the space. It was good. Every league is different. In Italy, it is more tactical and the players must work so hard with the movement. Here you have to understand the spirit of the competition. Every ball is the last ball."


Ranieri’s new swansong is coming on the heels of protests by Leicester’s fans after Everton beat them at home at the King Power Stadium urging him to field Musa in their matches or allow the Nigerian return to Russia, where he shone like a million stars, culminating into his move to England this season.


This will not be the first time that Musa has scored goals for Leicester with Ranieri dropping him in preference for Vardy, whose goal-scoring instinct has not been as sharp as it was last season.


It remains to be seen if Ranieri will give Musa the return of matches that he gives to Vardy.


This is what Leicester’s fans are asking the Italian tactician to do since they know Musa’s potential, having watched him play for CSKA Moscow, where he scored goals with aplomb.

Arsenal And Leicester City Scouts Run The Rule On Etebo Again, CD Feirense Willing To Listen To Offer


Scouts from English Premier League side Arsenal and Leicester City were yesterday in attendance when Sporting Lisbon beat CD Feirense 2-1 in a Portuguese League game.


Respected Portuguese journalist Jan Hagen revealed that the scouts were at the Alvalade Stadium to check on Nigeria star Ogehenekaro Etebo, who played the entire duration of the game for CD Feirense.


This is the second time he has been watched by scouts from the English Premier League duo, and there are reports that CD Feirense are no longer opposed to his sale in January.


The club had in the past maintained that no bid will be entertained for his services in January but according to emerging reports they are now willing to cash in one of their prized assets.


21 year old Etebo is also being closely monitored by French giants Monaco, who are also looking to reinforce their midfield as they prepare for the possible departure of two of their midfielders in January.

TheGoodJoe:


Let Arsene Wenger be looking like Lucozade and not seal the deal. Until another club signs Etebo and Wenger will say "We were Watching him."

RETIRE YOU WILL NOT RETIRE. BUY PLAYER YOU WILL NOT BUY PLAYER.
