This is why I was annoyed he was going to Manchester City instead of Arsenal or Porto. City will always buy big name players ( who are not necessarily better than Kelechi ) and will play him ahead of him. His father really goffed, he should never have allowed his kid to go to city because of money.

However, with Guardiola coming in, that may change. Let's just hope.

TheGoodJoe:


I think the father was right. What is most important at this stage of Nacho's career is developing into a top talent. He gained that at Man City. Training with top coaches, high quality equipments and training with top players.

“When you’re playing with world-class players and training with them every day you become a better footballer in my opinion. You learn a lot more training with the likes of [Mesut] Ozil and [Alexis] Sanchez.”...Iwobi.

People say we are age cheats and i laugh. The wool has been over our eyes for decades. The truth is we can't win senior events because most the European teams have been on performance enhancing drugs. FIFA needs to put more energy into cleaning up the sport cuz i guarrantee on a fair day Denmark in 1998 would never beat my Eagles, I didn't believe it then and i won't believe it now.

BascoVanVeli:


PED's give players a mental and physical edge, they recorver faster and are on a faster tempo. A team who defeats Spain in mind blowing fashion does not get blown out by Denmark. Look it doesn't matter what hotel a team stays in or its tactics, all that matters are the players. If teams are getting an unfair advantage which improves the level of their players it is cheating and it is wrong.

How many goals did Diego Maradona score against us in 94 despite his drugs?

I will be more regular on here soon. Was addicted to the politics section ( with another username ) but not any more. I can't stomach the tribal war ( igbo vs yoruba vs hausa ) hence I am back to my first love, FOOTBALL.

That moment when a team has already made 3 substitutions and the game is approaching extra Time. And suddenly a player picks up an injury that rules him out for the rest of the match. And no more substitution

I saw the above scenario play-out at the 1988 AFCON in the semi-final clash between Nigeria and Algeria. Who I fit ask here now o? Emm...

Ehen.. forgiveness you remember that game?

With the game at 1-1 a Nigerian player (think Ademola Adeshina or so.Cant remember well again) had received a Red Card midway into second half of the match. Abt 85mins into the game both teams had made all 3 substitutions. And as the game approached extra time, the Nigerians knew that the Algerians, having the extra player, would have the edge. Then a Legendary player BRIGHT "10-10" OMOKARO ensured both Teams entered extra-time on same scores and same number of men. How?

Omokaro simply injured one of the Algerian players. As the player was being stretchered out Omokaro shouted "10-10 oya make ball continue" . The commentator, the Late Ernest Okonkwo, then also shouted some like " it is now 10-10" !
Algeria had already exhausted their 3 subs so no way that player could be replaced.

Both teams finished the game "10-10".

That was where Bright Omokaro got his popular nick name "10-10"

So introducing a 4th substitution in extra time would prevent the kind of "10-10 scenario.

Arsenal and Porto have better training facilities compared to City who are just trying to catch up.

It is not as if he was rejecting Eyimba for City.

Exclusive: Watford Thrashing Out Uche Terms With Granada
[/size]

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that English Premier League club Watford are exploring ways to sign ex-Nigeria U20 international Uche Agbo from Granada in the summer.


Uche’s teammate at the Andalusian outfit, Isaac Success, is in the final round of talks with Hornets suits regarding a transfer and the central midfielder could follow his pal to The Vic in the coming months.


Watford higher-ups are scheduled to fly to Spain before the first week of April to conclude negotiations with their sister club and representatives of the former Enyimba star.


Uche officially joined Udinese in 2014 following a successful trial but has been on the books of Granada for the last two years.


The 20-year-old is tied to the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes outfit until the summer of 2018.

Hehehe! I no talk am! The first time i saw him played, i said to myself "this boy good ooooo, come get confidence join am". But some people wan finish me because of this guy matter.

TheGoodJoe:



Manchester City's Etihad Campus is one of the best in the World. Pellegrini who used to Coach Real Madrid said the Etihad campus is better than Real Madrid's own. So you can not say Arsenal and Porto's own is better.

Iheanacho gained a lot from City and this is an important part in his career where he needed training.

Iwobi did not get more playing time than Nacho with less expensive players at Arsenal but you can see his growth.

Iheanacho's father was right there.

forgiveness:


I hope our coach will use his brain. Make em case no be like John Fashanu wey dem invited only to keep him on the bench.
I am watching.

Bros, i no be Old generation ooo! but i started watching ball at the National stadium in 1984. The first match was the FA Cup finals between Abiola and Leventis United. In the same year, i watched Ranges vs Leventis United. Leventis United won the matches on both occassions.

And the thing i could remember in those days is the popular song " o'n ke bi ologbo iwayawu, meow meow Meow!` But i no bi Old generation. Sometimes i love watching Football but sometimes i loose interest. If i tell you i stopped watching football from 2001- 2006, you would not believe it. In fact, i didn't watch a single match in the 2006 world Cup.

Don't misunderstand me ooooo. I get informations from... i no go tell you now.

Icon4s:


If you started watching football in 1984 then we belong to the same generation. I fully started watching football in 1985 though i watched little of Euro '84 Jst to see the Michelle Platini that pple had been talking abt.

Before then i hated watching football as my interest was on wrestling.

By and large u soppose fit remembet Maroc '88 na.

Nigerian Sports Journalist @patomiliki seems to suggest that Solanke is willing to play for Nigeria if given a call-up.

@TheOddSolace @D_WarEagle @thenff Dude likes Naija and I can tell you from Good authority that the boy is interested to play for SE.

@TheOddSolace @D_WarEagle We need to approach him professionally

What better chance to approach him when he is not yet on England's radar?

Icon4s:


Approach him professionally? Which of the other players did we approach unprofessionally.

What is so special abt this Solanke sef? Is he better than d trio of Iheanacho, Iwobi and Etebo.

For a start let d NFF invite him for our next U23 friendly. Nt every player deserves a Super Eagles call up.

I did say City were catching up with others. And let's face it, having the best facility alone isn't enough.

Will he be given the chance to showcase what he learns from the training ground?

That's more important. As for Iwobi, this was his break through season. Kelechi was more well rated than him.

Do you honestly think Kelechi would have played if City didn't suffer injuries? Arsenal on their own part dropped Walcott and Campbell to play Iwobi.

Bony even benches Kelechi, is that on merit?

TheGoodJoe:



I said at this stage in Iheanacho and Kelechi's careers, they need the training in top facilities, with top coaches and among top players.

This is what both Iheanacho and Iwobi are enjoying and why they are reaching top quality status in a short time.

After their development, they can seek playing time but playing time is not what is important at this stage. It is development and education that they need and they are getting.
