Sometimes, when your head isn't right in a place, it can affect things. I don't know the full story of his Monaco misadventure but I'm just glad he's back to a place where he got his head right and is back in scoring action.

He has never been a bad player. I wonder what his problem at Monaco was.

which friendly are they planning

Sorry I mean the qualifiers there might be a friendly coming up too but it still under 50 50

smartsmith0907:



Not really have known all these since last year actually it not a big surprise out of those 8 players no fewer than 5 will be integrated to the team
The wing role has been a source of concern for the crew due to the inconsistency of the kalu,moses et al so the plan is to bring lookman and tella to the team and noni as a competitor for iwobi and ejaria is also in rohr's plan
There are also other players both known and unknown in the contention for the friendly.

I like where our team is heading to but really hope they will all be utilized fully , I seem to have lost some confidence in rohr

Michael Olise is such a baller

Lol.... This man.

elunico:


That's it! Just as we're glad to have you back here.

A real young baller with huge potentials. Currently in the Top 10 for most chances created in the EFL. Top 15 for Most Big Chances created. Top 15 for Most Key passes. And Joint assists-leader in the EFL.

He's good. Getting him to choose us is another thing. Time will tell on that. But thanks goodness we getting Ejaria at least. That's another Fine Baller.

Stats-check

Ovie Ejaria leads the EFL for most successful Dribbles. He's on 3.0 per game.

Second is Bright Osayi Samuel who just left for Fenerbache on 2.8 per game.

Third is Ismaila Sarr on 2.2 per game.


Also, Ejaria and Olise are tied on Most Big Chances created in the EFL with 5. Liverpool's loaner at Blackburn leads the way with 9.

Olise is Joints-assists leader in the EFL with 8 but Ejaria isn't far behind. He's on 5 assists.

Ejaria is among the lads that will be wrapping up their switch to the Super Eagles soonest. He will undoubtedly add creativity to the side. One to keep an eye on.

Please can Rabiu Mohammed Ali and Rabiu Mohammed be given a chance, the two of them are mercurial midfielders.

This was what Henry Onyekuru said on his career Everton move in an interview with BBC sport Africa.

Nigeria's Henry Onyekuru admits signing for Everton was something of a risk but insists he has no regrets about the move as he looks for a move away from his current club AS Monaco in France.
The 23-year-old joined the English Premier League side in 2017 but failed to make a competitive appearance for the club.
He arrived at Everton from Belgian club KAS Eupen on the back of a 22-goal season, but was immediately sent on loan to Anderlecht.
That was followed by another loan this time to Turkish side Galatasaray before sealing a permanent move to French club AS Monaco in 2019.
"The first dream is to play in the Premier League, it may not have worked out at Everton but I have no regrets about it," Onyekuru told BBC Africa Sport.
"When I received offers from top clubs in England I knew back then that I needed a work permit to play.
"That it didn't happen then has nothing to do with my talent but red tape that's beyond my control."

No Arsenal, no problem
Onyekuru revealed he was keen on a move to his boyhood club Arsenal, but aware he faced a familiar huddle - work permit issues- he opted to fulfil his Champions League ambition instead at Anderlecht through Everton.
"I really wanted to go to Arsenal because I spoke to some people there as I was very young then," he explained.
"It was obvious that I was not going to play without a UK work permit. So I went to Everton and played in the Champions League through a loan move to Anderlecht.
"It was important for me to get more playing time and experience that I had hoped would help boost my chances of earning the permit.
"I can't say I regretted this because I got to play against Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich in the Uefa Champions League, this doesn't happen to everyone."
The winger's form at Anderlecht led to a call up to the Nigeria team in 2017 by coach Gernot Rohr and he looked set to be part of the Super Eagles team at the 2018 World Cup.
Injury setback
Playing in Russia would have boosted his chances of securing his permit to work in the United Kingdom and play for Everton.
However the knee injury he suffered while on loan at Anderlecht meant he was unable to prove his fitness in time for the World Cup and ultimately meant he did not make the required appearances for a UK work permit.
"You can't question certain things in life, playing at the World Cup was not meant to be," he insisted.
"If that had happened, maybe I could've ended up playing in the Premier League but we will never know."
Instead after the World Cup he was loaned out again this time to Turkish giants Galatasaray where his 16 goals and six assists helped the club to domestic double.

Egyptian disappointment.
Nigeria's Henry Onyekuru (right) battles with Algeria' Ramy Bensebaini at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations
His success and performance in Turkey earned him a spot in his country's final squad for a major tournament at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
Onyekuru's solitary appearance came as a late substitute in the semi-final defeat to Algeria, an experience which left him somewhat disappointed.
"The tournament left a bitter-sweet taste in my mouth because we finished third in my first competition with Nigeria," he admitted.
"I was a little bit disappointed because I was in good form, I had just won the league and cup double in Turkey but the coach [Gernot Rohr] had a choice to make.
"Nigeria has several talented players and I understand I will have to continue to fight for a place.
"I just decided to go back to proving myself all over again at my club."
Tough going
If the plan was to win over legions of doubting Thomases , via the French Ligue 1, it clearly has not worked out.
He has managed just four appearances for Monaco this season, with the last coming as a late substitute in the 2-1 away defeat to Rennes in September.
Desperate to establish himself at club and international level, Onyekuru is aware of what he needs to do.
"I think it was sudden and I had no idea about the move," he added.
"It was all decided between both clubs in two days and I had to rush down to Monaco to complete the transfer.
"Unfortunately I didn't get much playing time. I think there's more to it.
"I am not someone to make excuses about life or football, but I think the manager has a different plan and I am probably not in that plan.
"I'll definitely be leaving in January for football reasons, so I can return to the form I need to be in."
