Are they good enough?cos keeping for 2nd division clubs in Isreal and Austria not good enough for SE,reason why i frowned at Maduka invitation.

Do we need to blame Rohr for not scounting from home ground when we have a very poor league

Exactly my brother. All these second division keepers from leagues that ate already obscure makes no sense

Bro the point is when barca comes calling any player will wanna leave and to make it worst is when you know your position is vacant at Barcelona and your salary will be higher

For examply If barca comes calling for mane tomorrow and the position is vacant, Liverpool will only make it hard but wont stop him from moving

Look at coutinho earning almost same salary with luis suarez

You only wish you had Mane but he isn't going to barca.

jihday:
Lol, but they said Chuks was using Lodi as training cone, how come he had a better rating

The thing is; if you like dribble 10 players, if no goal comes out of it, it only damages your rating further. As for me, I don't rate all these dribbles that many here shout and clamour for. Chuka needs to start scoring himself if toko ekambi won't

Oga, Mane will not leave Liverpool for barca. Only a player like Salah would do that

charlesemeka85:
i don't want him to near arsenal, they have pepe and saka already. both are similar to chuks.

i will love to see any of madrid,ATM or liverpool to sign him cus i believe he will do wonderfully well in any of the teams. rumor has it that he is targeted by kloop as salah's replacement next season

Good one if true

komekn:
Well done very balanced and objective based analysis.

I can see Barcelona, Real, Bayern, Chelsea all fighting to get him.

And I can see Barca, Real, Bayern and co fighting to get Tammy

Chukwueze is trending on Twitter for crimes against humanity such as culpable homicide, violent rape, assault and battery of the Atletico team amongst other heinous crimes over the last hour.

Not only is Lodi getting bodied, apparently Jaoa Felix has also gone missing in the presence of Samu

You know, I once said that joao Felix cost much more than his real worth

Leicester City have responded to an inquiry from Barcelona for their Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi by offering the 22 year old the offer of a pay rise, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.


Ndidi signed a new deal in the summer of 2018 keeping him at the club till 2024 meaning the club is in no way under pressure to lose the Nigeria international ‎but there are fears that he could get his head turned by the interest from the Laliga giants.

In a bid to keep the midfielder settled the club plan to give him a pay rise on his current salary which stands around £55,000 a week. They could offer him as high as £70,000 a week to keep him settled.

Barcelona have reportedly inquired about the midfielder who is well known to coach Ernesto Valverde who isn’t entirely satisfied with the lack of steel in his midfield despite the big money signing of Frenkie de Jong from Ajax last summer.

Representatives of Ndidi will in the coming days meet with the club to thrash out the terms of the pay rise which will likely not affected the duration of his contract but will no doubt solidify the grip the Foxes have on the midfielder.

I don't mind this move for Ndisi

Because I know that he will not be benched. Then the whole world will see his talent and stop underrating him. I can't wait for him to bully Casemiro. Also, he will improve on his forward passing with Barca. A good move on all fronts

TheSuperNerd:
It is not about size. It is about the attributes of both strikers. Rashidi was an all out number 9. Amokachi was more of a support striker. That is why both could work in fine synergy.

Osimhen and Dessers will only work if one of them (likely Osimhen) functions as the striker that plays off the other one more. Like a Support striker. This is why I say Dessers may or may not combine with Osimhen. If both combine as all out number 9s, they could get into each other's paths.

In a Big Striker/ Small striker combo, it is obvious what each brings with their attributes. The Big striker serves as the target man who the small striker serves as roaming striker. One supports, the other plays as the all out 9. One plays off the other. So it is about attributes and not size when I mention such combo.

Now, I think I understand you better.

However, I prefer someone else to Musa. Musa isn't a smart (brainy) player

Germany youth international of Nigerian descent Karim Adeyemi has reacted to reports linking him with moves to Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, Arsenal and Barcelona.

Barcelona recently saw a bid of fifteen million euros rejected for the Red Bull Salzburg starlet, while Borussia Dortmund have targeted him as a replacement for Jadon Sancho, who is attracting interest from Premier League and La Liga giants.

He trained with Chelsea and courted interest from Liverpool before joining Red Bull Salzburg in July 2018.

Adeyemi was awarded the Fritz Walter Gold Medal for the most promising talent in his age group by the DFB last August.

''First of all, I am pleased about such offers, which pushes me a lot," Adeyemi told transfermarkt.de.

''Still, that does not stop me from going where I want to go. That's why I do not worry so much about it and try to keep a clear head so I'm not distracted. I'm completely relaxed about all the offers. "

Adeyemi admitted that he would love to play on the same team as the best player on the planet, Lionel Messi.

''It used to be my dream to play with the best player in the world, Lionel Messi, Barcelona. I definitely want to play in a top club in a top league,'' he added.

This season, Adeyemi has been involved in 20 goals (11 goals, 9 assists) in 17 appearances for Red Bull Salzburg teams.

Good numbers

Does he star for the senior team (at least sometimes)?

Does he want to play for Naija in the future?

Eartquake1:
Pinnick should put his personal convictions aside and go with the coach on his choice of selections

Exactly. That's why Rohr was hired as the COACH

Italian Serie A club Cagliari are interested in signing Super Eagles hopeful Cyriel Dessers in the January transfer window, according to reports emanating from the Italian media.

Webmagazine24.it says Cagliari legend Andrea Cossu has returned to Italy with glowing reports about the Heracles Almelo goal poacher after a scouting trip to the Netherlands and has recommended that the striker should be acquired by The Rossoblu.

Dessers is in the form of his life and equaled the best half of a season in his professional career when he bagged a brace in last weekend's league match against ADO Den Haag.

Cagliari are in the market for a striker with the misfiring Alberto Cerri linked with a departure from the club in the winter transfer market.

The Sardinia based outfit are the surprise package of the Serie A so far this season, occupying the fourth position in the table with 28 points from 14 matches.

Dessers joined Heracles Almelo in July 2019 and is contracted to the club until the end of the 2021-2022 season.

The 24-year-old recently committed his international future to Nigeria over his country of birth, Belgium.

Let him be patient and play a full season first

I still maintain that I see dessers in Ajax if he continues this fine form till the end of the season

Mujtahida:
How does size of the strikers affect their combination? Enlighten me
Rashidi and Amokachi were both big and combined well.

Gbam

Thesupernerd please enlighten us. Maybe, we might learn something.

DrKlever:
Time to shop for a striker and flush all our shitty defenders

Your CBs are okay

Chelsea shouldn't act like the prodigal son who frittered away his inheritance on nonsense. If you don't buy wise, you'll suffer for it like Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers second season

elyte89:
Tammy will survive...he's a good player and good enuf for Chelsea

Both will

If Tomori keeps his head down and works hard enough to become the undisputed brat in the position, he'll be the best. As for me, I wish both of them the very best

Abusule007:
Rohr Disagrees With Pinnick On Ebere Eze, Switch Target To Ovie Ejaria

Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr isn’t on the same page with the president of the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) Amaju Pinnick on the need to lure QPR midfielder Ebere Eze to the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

While Pinnick is keen on having Eze play for the senior national team of Nigeria ahead of England where he is now a player of their U-21 team same can’t be said about Rohr who isn’t entirely convinced by the ability of the 20 year old.

Rohr instead has his sight on Ovie Ejaria, the former Nigeria U17 trainee who is on loan to English Championship side Reading from UEFA Champions League defending champions Liverpool, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

According to findings by our editorial team, the coach has already established contact with the 20 year old who he feels will add something different to the Super Eagles midfield unlike Eze who tends to go missing without the ball.

Ejaria has been scouted by the coach and talks will be held with the forward after the busy festive period in England although it is believed that Ejaria who won the 2017 Under-20 World Cup with England is keen on switching allegiance to Nigeria.

Nice one. Not time to waste time

safarigirl:
Scoring goals is scoring goals.

This is how Ighalo was being degraded by fans because he was playing in China and scoring there, only for him to have his best form for Nigeria in the Chinese league.

Based on league status, you will claim that Haaland scoring goals in Austria makes him inferior to Origi and Batshuayi too, abi?

Correct argument

andrewbaba44:
You need to be exicted, osimhen is not untouchable , i need players who will work hard to send him to the bench but unfortunately none can do that for long, but dessers issa big threat trust me

If this guy continues scoring and end up with 20 goals in the league, expect to see him in a bigger team in the league like psv or ajax or a better league

If iheanacho is having game time and scoring goals you think say we go dey reason osimhen as untouchable

I agree with you on these

andrewbaba44:
You guys like taking the glory to SE

Even if he hasnt play a major tournament he has already been cap tied by the qualifiers so please leave van der vaart issues abeg, if naija no go world cup ekong don already cap tie, if naija still no go nations cup e still cap tie because of the qualifiers

Ola aina that didt play any tournament before torino move nko? shebi na super eagles make torino buy am?

Maybe if ajax buy dessers tomorrow or others team in better league and eagles capped him twice before then una go run say na because of eagles, funny people

If aribo join epl team soon maybe una go say na because of super eagles appearance, una go forget say aribo na beast for rangers and with or whout eagles he has been doing so well

Make una talk another thing abeg

I say again, if Dessers continues like this, I see him in Ajax by the and of the season

ChrisKels:
At the the triple marked paragraph, when he was "standing out" at Rotherdam, u said he looked good bkus of the long balls(kick and rush), but today he has gone to a ball playing side to "stand out" yet again, proving ur earlier deductions wrong, hence u suddenly changed it using a different line in "WBA arguably have some of the best quality players in the Championship. Many with EPL experience", to make it look like he is doing good bkus of the quality players around him.


To me, at Westbrom, dude has proven that his Rotherdam exploits were no fluke. Give him the props.

Komekn isn't being objective. The same Semi Ajayi won man of the match with WBA. He knows thus yet skips this valid fact

Bow this is someone that really wants to rep us and not Ebere Eze and co

Kbs468:
Abeg make them leave matter for Mathias ooo.

Which one is being forced to play sideways and backwards due to lack of options in the attack again?

Aren't they Eleven Players every now and then?

And they still concede early Goals?

Does the Coach asked them not to open up to create spaces and options in the attack line?

When their adrenaline rush wouldn't even allow for the compact attacking Football that they are being asked to play?

Abi which Coach want to always concede and not want to win as well?

Maybe na one of those bench warmers dey talk sef

I'm thinking its one of those that used to be a regular but was dropped. Or it could be a lie altogether

Olofinjana, Finidi In Line For Nigeria Youth Team Coaching Job, Salisu Retains Role In National Team Setup

Owngoalnigeria.com exclusively gathered that while the NFF advertised the jobs for U17 and U20 teams, the football house have decided to retain Salisu Yusuf as the coach of the U23 team following his return from suspension for his involvement in a bribery ‎scandal regarding players selection.

On the jobs available, the football house is favouring former Mallorca and Real Betis B youth team coach Finidi George for the job of coach of U-17 team while Seyi Olofinjana who is presently a coach with English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers is the leading candidate to be named the U20 coach.

Olofinjana presently works as the manager of players sent on loan by Wolves and he will push to retain his job with the club even if he is appointed by the NFF when the list of the successful coaches is announced next year.

Ahhh...I remember those days. Seyi Olofinjana was a renowned carpenter
