Pavarotti:

Words cant express the pain i feel when I see Ejaria Turning out for England

Watch his goal against USA below

http://www.soccerassembly.com/nigerian-targets-ovie-ejaria-dominic-solanke-help-england-u20s-beat-usa/

We really should have capped him against Tanzania. we had no excuse

how hard is it to invite someone ?

TheGoodJoe:


If his soul is in England, wish him the best. We still have Chidi Nwakali, Ifeanyi Matthew, Nwobodo who are not playing for the Super Eagles.

enomakos:
you are right,the one we have are better than him

TheSuperNerd:
We haven't lost Ejaria just yet..... He's only turning out for the English youth sides.

He's still open to Nigeria at senior level.

MANU GARBA LEADS NIGERIA U19S TO
KOREA TOURNEY





Coach Manu Garba is to lead a team of Nigeria
U19s for an all-expenses-paid tourney in Korea
later this year, officials have informed.

Officials and players are believed to have already submitted their international passports for the trip to South Korea.

The earlier arrangement was for the team to
feature at an international tournament in Dubai.
Manu, who led Nigeria to win the 2013 FIFA U17
World Cup in Abu Dhabi, failed to qualify the
Golden Eaglets for next year’s U17 AFCON in
Madagascar.

He is expected to feature the bulk of the Eaglets Class of 2016 team for this invitational tourney.

Icon4s:


A good tourney.

But here we go again fielding under aged players for age grade tourneys.

The tourney is for U19. Golden Eaglets of 2016 are jst 16 or less. The right crop of players for this tourney are Amuneke's 2016 Flying Eagles who obviously are even 18 or less. The foreign players among them may not be invited.

cc: TheGoodJoe.

TheGoodJoe:


This is not about winning but development. I see it as a good idea.

The current junior League in England is U23 but City chose to field their U19 players to have them develop fast against stronger opponents.

Icon4s:


Then the development should be focused more on the Amuneke boys as we have more prospects from that crop. They are U17 champions.

The 2016 Golden Eaglets may jst be a waste of time. A team that could not go pass Niger at U17 is not worth the time.More like flogging a dead horse. They remind me of the 2011 Eaglets. How many of them went on to become great?

Our hope lies more on the 2015 U17s. They are the true U19s

TheGoodJoe:


Amunike's conquering Eaglets have some exposure with their U17 triumph. Manu Garba's boys have little exposure and this tournament is the beginning of that.

Icon4s:


The 2016 Eaglets are not a talented squad. Exposing them will not yield much results for us.

We need to give the Amuneke's Flying Eagles another opportunity to redeem their image. These are the crop that are close to signing professional contracts and taking them for that tourney would pave way for scouts to really assess them.

The 2016 Eaglets would be so beating and out muscled and only cause more disappointments. And at the end have nothing to show for or give back to Nigerian football.

TheGoodJoe:


You can not assure that they are not talented. There were challenges the team faced before they got knocked out. Before the MRI screening, I do not remember the team losing a match in their warm-up games.

This is not an U17 tournament and most of the players who failed the MRI will make this team.

So I expect this Manu Garba's team to do well. Contrary to your belief of them losing.

BascoVanVeli:


We should not reward liars. Players who fail the MRI should be sent to the back of the bus. Amunike's boys who are left and Manu's boys who passed should be selected.

TheGoodJoe:


Failing MRI does not make them liars. They failed the test for an U17 tourney. This is an under 19 tourney and we deserve to increase our pool with the most talented players.

Not all might be overage but they failed the test.

Let us put the past behind us and get the best talents from the exercise we carried out to find those talents.

BascoVanVeli:


What do u mean? In this day and age we all know how old we are? If i go to tryout for u17 knowing i'm 18 then i am a liar and in doing so I set my country backwards. Even if it's by 6 months it is still I lie.

TheGoodJoe:


We spent a lot of time, money and man power scouting this talent. Some might be above seventeen but below nineteen. I say we do not waste the time and a chance of missing some exceptional talents. We say we give them some exposure.

BascoVanVeli:


I don't care wat we spent, this is the national team if we can't expect the right thing done then we are still at square 1 as a nation. I don't see too many other countries having players fail as much. This is sending the wrong message.

TheGoodJoe:


Because it is not your money. We need to keep producing top players. If we waste these players, we waste a golden opportunity of keeping pressure on the golden generation. They faced enough heartache already. They need a chance to show themselves.

I love this arrangement, wish the U20 boys are given such a chance

FIFA Force Porto To Send “Nigerian Robben” Samuel Chukwueze Back To Nigeria
Failed Arsenal target Samuel Chukwueze is back in Nigeria after spending time with Portuguese giants FC Porto, the team he will join when he clocks 18.


Chukwueze one of the stars of the last Nigeria U-17 team to the World Cup in Chile, where they emerged champions trained with the U-18s of the team before returning back to Nigeria.


His return we gathered was due to FIFA regulations on the transfer of minors, which means he can’t be kept by the team for now, as he is yet to be officially registered as their player.


Although a transfer fee has been agreed with his nursery team Diamond Academy for the recently turned 17 year old forward, but payments will be made after the transfer is made official.


However, Owngoalnigeria.com gathered that even when he clocks 18, arrangements are already well underway to loan him to a team in the low division before he makes the step up to the main team.
