Icon4s: Good idea! The NFF shouldn't host anything until they are able to pay their bills. How could you agree to host a tournament when you can't even pay your coaches and players their wages and dues? O pari 2 Likes |

terzurum5: Well, let him represent England. Nobody should be begged to play for Nigeria. If we can't find 11 or so players to represent Nigeria, in a country of over 300 million people, then we should stop playing soccer. And in addition, we should only invite the players who are passionate and eager to play for Nigeria. I am all for picking giving players with Nigerian roots a chance to represent their country, but having Nigerian roots doesn’t mean you are passionate about playing for that country. And that should be the KEY. Hence, this guy should be removed from consideration. Pronto! FYI - I saw him against ManCity last Saturday and I think he's got potential, but he should wait for England if that's what he wants to do. We can't be anybody's fallback option.

joseph1013: This is what I call showing talent and getting praise. Similar to what Nacho had in the time at America and EDS. However, like Nacho, when K. Nwakali returns to Arsenal, the real work and development will take place. That is when Wenger will spend time on the training pitch with him. |

I tip senegal to win this tournament, they are the best team so far in my own perspective. |

TheGoodJoe: Development is already taking place, He is getting used to the pressures of playing weekly abet on a smaller scale. His next loan could be to a bigger side with more ambition if Wenger is not yet ready to give him a first team chance. Many talented Arsenal youngsters are just wasting on the bench in my opinion. Wilshere and Sturridge are examples of players whose time on loan prepared them for first time action at their parent club. |

Icon79: If we waited to pay our coaches before embarking on developing our Youths, would we have Orji Okonkwo and Kelechi Nwakali who are true potential Super Eagles players? We are suggesting some multinationals and State Governors help make the tournament a success. In turn, helping the next young generation grow with this competition. It is a win scenario for our football family. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 8:57pm On Jan 18, 2017 |
tbaba1234: Get the point. I did not say a player can not develop going on loans. I said, a player develops faster working with top coaches and training everyday with top players. If K. Nwakali was training with the main team of Arsenal, he might not have this rep of team of the week but would have gained a lot more working everyday with the main team of Arsenal. Sturridge was already the most promising player in Manchester City academy. He went to Bolton to show his talent. Not develop. He was ready. That was why he walked into their starting line-up. Unlike top clubs where the player will need time. By the way, Rio Myachi went on loan from Arsenal to Bolton and faded into the nights. |

Brightwood: I believe abolishing Yellow cards will bring more safety to the game. It will cut out harsh tackles because as soon as a player go for a rash challenge, he is off. A violent conduct means your off. This will instill more discipline. |

zicky: It is an opportunity. When a door closes, another opens. It was up to the NFF to walk through the door but they are turning it down. Hosting is the right thing to do and it will benefit some of our youngsters. We are saying the NFF should seek an alternative to host it and not bear the whole burden. |

safarigirl:Cameroun are no pushovers. They have shown resilience and character to come back from a goal deficit from the first half to win the game. This Cameroun team is very hard to beat. A lot for teams will find that out later in this tournament. It maybe too late when they do . Technically speaking, I think their left side is their weakest link. If they don't improve on that area, they will have problems. Moses will have lots of joy cutting in from that part of the pitch. On Egypt, I've said it before the tournament. The Egyptians are presenting a solid unit. Since there is no clear favourite for this Afcon,the Egyptians may snatch it. (if only the "nearly" man Hector Cuper can sort things out if they get to the finals) |

Kingsley Sokari Close In On Big Money Move To Qatari Side Al-Jaish Former Nigeria youth international Kingsley Sokari is close to leaving Tunisian side CS Sfaxien for Qatari side Al-Jaish, according to reports reaching the editorial desk of Owngoalnigeria.com. Sokari is one of the players the Tunisian side can sell to raise money for their business later on in the season, despite the ban placed on them by FIFA. Sfaxien are presently under a FIFA transfer ban, that stops them from signing players but they are allowed to sell players and Sokari could be the first to be sold. Reports in Tunisia has it that a move is close to being agreed between his representatives and the Qatari side, who are now thrashing a transfer fee for the 22 year old. This season the Nigerian has also courted interest from French Ligue 1 side Metz due to his fine performances but it appears like Al-Jaish are the front runners for his signature. owngoalnigeria.com/2017/01/18/kingsley-sokari-close-in-on-big-money-move-to-qatari-side-al-jaish/ 1 Like |

I Won’t Tell You Yet – Rohr Refuses To Reveal Name Of German-Nigerian Defender Who Has Committed To Super Eagles Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has refused to reveal the name of the German Nigerian defender who has committed his international future to Nigeria.

Kelechi Iheanacho's first Man City moment was a crazy day in Nigeria! Manchester City striker also reveals the sad truth behind his own goal celebration. By Stuart Brennan Charlotte Duncker. Kelechi Iheanacho has revealed that he paid 12 pence to watch his first Manchester Citygame … and they sent the place crazy! The Blues striker had never watched City play until, when he was 15, he stumped up his entrance fee to a venue which screened live Premier League games in his home town of Imo in Nigeria. He picked the right moment, as he saw Sergio Aguero'slate winner in the 2011-12 title race, little thinking that four years later he would be playing alongside Kun. “I saved some money and went to the game centre on the last day of the Premier League season,” he told The Players' Tribune. “It was a very big deal, because the title race was so close. I sat there and watched Sergio Aguero score the last-minute goal that won Man City the title — and that took it away from Man United. “On the TV, Sergio took his shirt off and whipped it around, and everybody in the game centre was going crazy. “That was maybe the first Man City game I ever watched. I had never been to England before. “I had no idea that in a few years, I would be playing on the same team as Sergio.” Iheanacho's own goal celebration is tinged with sadness and regret, as he also revealed. His mum, a teacher, died while he was away at a football training camp. When he scored for Nigeria at the Under-17 World Cup – where he first sparked the interest of City, along with Arsenal, Porto and other clubs – he pointed both fingers to the sky in memory of his mum. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/kelechi-iheanachos-first-man-city-12474024 1 Like |

Chinese Club, Beijing Guoan Track Success By Johnny Edward: Chinese Super League side, Beijing Guoan, are weighing up a move for Watford's Nigerian striker, Isaac Success, reports Comple tesportsnigeria.com. Success was previously linked with a loan move to Turkish side, Bursaspor when the winter transfer reopened on January 1. But according to the Daily Mail, Success is expected to stay at Vicarage Road at least until the end of the season. Success who is one of the nine first-team players out injured is expected back in action in the first week of February if his rehabilitation goes as planned. The 21 year old Nigerian has scored once in eight English Premier League games for the Hornets who are 14th in the long with 23 points from 21 games. Success joined Watford from Spanish side, Granada for a club record fee of €15m at the start of the season.
