Exclusive: Manchester City Pass Up Chance To Sign Enyimba Star Mfon Udoh
[/size]

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that English Premier League moneybags Manchester City have turned down the opportunity to bring Nigeria international Mfon Udoh to The Etihad.


The Enyimba star was proposed to The Citizens by United Kingdom-based intermediary Frankie Stephen, better known as the representative of Flying Eagles striker Bernard Bulbwa.


Stephen has a good rapport with Manchester City higher-ups and helped broker the deal that took Nigeria U20 international Chidiebere Nwakali to City in 2014, and earlier offered his major client Bulbwa to the club prior to his move to CS Sfaxien.


This time around, Manchester City were uninterested in signing Mfon Udoh as he didn’t have the profile of attackers they were in the market for and would have been ineligible to be granted a work permit by the Home Office.


The 24-year-old set a record as the highest goalscorer in a single season in the Nigeria Professional Football League in 2014.

The fact that the author couldn't even get his starting line up right brings his claim in doubt. Also, as far as I remember, Amuzie wasn't even on the pitch in the second half of the match hence I don't see how he cost us in Alexandria.

forgiveness:


even mikel obi's chelsea lost. so, what do you say about that?

forgiveness:


Is that the only thing you saw in the article?

Meaning he got his tactics wrong from the beginning and that's what we are talking about

chrisooblog:
mikel has achieved everything in the game so one can overlook his own what has ajagun ''the defender of nigeria's midfield universe achieved''

forgiveness:



Where Mikel Obi take start em career? For Chelsea?.. The young shall grow. be patient and avoid witch hunting.

TheGoodJoe:
Is there anyone on this thread who felt Echiejile performed better than Amuzie.

I want to know.

Solace Chukwu pointed that the wing backs did not provide width. I remember Amuzie putting in a cross that the Goal Keeper caught. Did Echiejile put in an accurate cross?

I am sick of the ridiculous highly experience talk. It is so baffling that is the point to play Echiejile.

If anyone feels Echiejile performed better, I will like to know.

What did Echiejile do when he came on that justified a starting position?

TheSuperNerd:
Well, I get your point but we won't be conducting the draws. I really hope we are drawn into Egypt's group but that's as far as I go..... "Wish".

I just chose the deadliest of the five to avoid and I honestly think it's Algeria.... Their squad is like another golden generation for them in the mould of the rabah madjers and lakder belloumis..... If they don't conquer Africa with this squad well, they have their U-23s to look forward to led by the mercurial Zinedine Ferhat.

Check out the Algerians:
-Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)
-Islam Slimani (Sporting Lisbon)
-Sofiane Feghoulli (Valencia)
-Faouzi Ghoulam (Napoli)
-Guediora (Watford)
-Yaccine Brahimi (FC Porto)
-Nabil Bentaleb (Tottenham Hotspurs)
-Taider (can't recall his club)
-El Arbi Soudani (can't recall his club)
-M'bolhi, their goalie.
-Etc....

This is just from my memory.... Imagine what I'll still show you if I dig deeper into that Algerian team.

Civ, Ghana, And CapeVerde.... Well, I don't fancy them as dangerous as the Algerians but they're indeed really huge opponents.

In the end we must meet one of them. So let's brace ourselves and get our team motivated again. We can't afford to remain dispirited for too long.

I'm focused on seeing the best talents we have out there (e.g. kick out Ambrose) invited to come make our World cup qualifying campaign a success and not another journey that will see us hit another wall.

Get the Otigbas, Odubajos, Awaziems, Ebuehis, Ehizibues, Troost Ekongs, Ndidis and many "quality" more in.

After the Olympics, move Emma Daniel up to Eagles no.2 behind Carl Ikeme.

We can still make Russia 2018 if we get our players selection right. That's speaking @ the playing personnel level.

@The Administrative level of our football, I hope Those glass house jokers become serious for once...... At least for this Russia 2018 campaign. Let it be the one thing they get right BEFORE THEY'RE KICKED OUT IN THE NEXT NFF ELECTIONS.

binhozie:



Bro thank God I'm not the only one that thinks echejile for Amuzie was a wasted sub Siasia seems not just know how to get his sub's right
First leg he was subbing strikers for strikers wen leading
1-0
Instead of shoring d back
Now he needed a goal he subbed defender for defender
Let Siasia keep handling our junior teams his very good at identify talents home and abroad, and his style to do open camp will help cap all this Anglo Nigerian players we are producing at the speed of light

lakesidepapa:


Yes I knw leonardo during his days as a footballer and as a coach at inter milan. Infact, I'll recommend him as a coach for the SE as his style of game fit Naija style of play but the Nff won't contact this type of manager, Na to dey contact one yeye oyinbo coach

TheGoodJoe:



Amuzie injured. I also criticised the change but Amuzie confirmed he injured.

binhozie:


Simon Moses on the bench was madness

binhozie:



The same France 98 Ronaldo Rivaldo and Denilson played in Chukwu Nna

forgiveness:


well, to you he is shallow but to many he is right on point.

out of all what he said can you pls pinpoint on what you think is shallow about the writer's article.thanks

TheGoodJoe:


Yes, Leonardo played in France '98. He wore ten shirt. His style of football is amazing. His time at Inter Milan made me appreciate the power of flicks. He coached Inter Milan to a great run where they moved from the middle table to the second position.

After that, fatigued kicked in, because it was an aging squad and they fell.

Either way, the run was amazing and PSG snatched Leonardo from Inter Milan and made him their technical director.

Wasn't that skilfull jhoor

SCANDAL: Slovenian club coach blasts Nigerian Eleke 'black idiot'
[/size]

Blessing Eleke

by Samm Audu

Coach of Slovenian league leaders Olimpija will not be sanctioned even after he racially abused his Nigerian striker Blessing Eleke as “a black idiot” for over celebrating his stoppage time equaliser.


Coach Marko Nikolac racially abused Eleke after Olimpija drew 1-1 with Zavrc at home on Sunday.

Eleke grabbed an equaliser for Olimpija in three minutes of additional time and thereafter celebrated the goal with such aplomb.

The coach insisted that despite his abusive comments, he is not a racist.


The club have also backed him, saying: “This incident will not affect the career of a young and talented coach, who has a bright future ahead of him.”

The club are top of the league table with 59 points from 29 matches, just two points ahead of closest rivals Maribor.


The 20-year-old Eleke has scored two goals in seven appearances for Olimpija after a January switch from another Slovenian club Gorica, where he fired 12 goals.

TheGoodJoe:


I hope this would not affect Blessing's chances in the club. His agent should move him to Netherlands. Let our boys play in less racist societies.

Very bad development for the promising striker.
