AIG07:
you no lie my bro. We just hope Rohr will get it right.

I don't think Iwobi will be benched anytime soon in the GWG no matter the tactical formation. I am also sure that he'll start Arsenal's next game.

We are proud of the 'boy'.

Danielnino00:
I support two team whose managers have a habit of making late substitutions...Klopp and Rohr..


Bloody Germans!

ChrisKels:
U can take it to the bank, Success is class!!

junnyjake:
And nothing is being heard about Tosin Kehinde after his move to Portugal.

What's up with him?

NAIRALAND NIGERIAN FOOTBALL AWARDS!



A good and blessed Morning House.

We have all analyzed football here for a couple of years now. We have tasted the joys of victory and agonies of defeat from different competitions we have participated in. And each one we have come out better as we have always learnt one, two or more lessons.

Believe it or not we have here in the house some of the best followers and analysts of Nigerian football. Forget that we argue all the time, but these arguments generally have yielded fruits in certain areas and our national teams have gotten better for it.

DON'T WE THINK IT IS TIME WE STARTED ROLLING OUT AWARDS, IN VARIOUS CATEGORIES, TO WELL DESERVING NIGERIAN NATIONAL TEAM FOOTBALLERS?

Now this is just a suggestion.

If a larger part of the house agree, we go ahead and set up a players selection committee which will be saddled with the responsibly of:
1. Coming up with various award categories eg: Most improved player in 2018, best Nigerian goal in 2018, Most impressive new inclusion, Best young player (U20 and U17), Best SE Goal keeper 2018, Nigerian Player of the year, best Super Falcons player etc.
2. Nominating players for the various award categories selected above (Maximum of 3 for each category). Note that criteria for the selection of these players must be spelt out.
3. Collating and announcing of results after the votings.

How do we come up with who and who will make up the Players' Selection committee?
I would suggest a 3 Man (or woman ) Committee. The house will have to suggest monikers. Every member of this thread or even visitors would have to nominate one person he or she feels should be a member of this committee. Note that you cannot nominate your self and you cannot nominate more than 1 person. 3 monikers with the highest number of nominations will form the players selection committee.

If we agree, we can set 1 week period for which we can suggest names for the selection committee and the selection committee will have to start work immediately after the Nigeria vs Uganda friendly. So that the voting process will commence first week in December.

At the end of the exercise a thread will be created to publish the names of awardees and mods called upon to take to front page or we may even take it to the sports sections of major News Papers in Nigeria.

Note again that it is just a suggestion and open to more ideas and suggestions.

The simple thing to do for a start is if you agree you click "like" and if you do not agree you click ''share''.

When news broke about Wenger's resignation, I just didn't know how to feel, given that Iwobi was blooded by him.

Would he win over the new manager? was the question I kept asking myself, and with what's currently happening, Unai Emery has proven to be a blessing to his career.

I'm so happy for the lad.

komekn:


I made comments ages ago that I didn't think it was progression.

If you are doing really good in the U23's you will be noticed by a lot of championship clubs. Which means you can relaunch your career in the Championship or worst case scenario league one.

Then progress upwards with time.

But to leave Manchester United to be playing U23's in Portugal. I really hope I'm wrong, but it's not looking very good.
