Very very impressive today, that shot was with his right foot from distance. He probably was Arsenal greatest attacking threat particularly in the first half.

Same right foot cost Arsenal their first goal, ironically

TheSuperNerd:
Rabiu Ibrahim played all 90mins for Slovan Bratislava in the Slovakian Super league as they secured a 3-2 away win over MSK Zilina to seal their league title win.

Ezekiel Henty was not listed today but he is also a league winner now in Slovakia.

Has Abdul Zubairu gone into oblivion? We no longer get to read or hear anything about him no more. The hypes have really gone down drastically

seankafor:
lol

E be like dem.dey sign one kind contract never to play for naija before they re given the limelight to play

Funny enough they are practicing a quota system there, all 3 major tribes fully represented, you know, nothing Nigerian works whenever our quota system rears its ugly head

Danjuma (Arnaut)- Hausa Fulani

Anyanwu (Billing)- Igbo

Solanke (Dominic)- Yoruba

Ibe (Jordan)- Igbo



Bluelf I would appreciate a carpentry description of these frauds

TheSuperNerd:
More news, my good people...

From a reliable source of mine. Official bids put in for Sadiq Umar are from Lille, Gent, Lyon, Sampdoria, Parma and Sassuolo.

Nothing is agreed yet. Nothing is concluded. But official bids from these sides have been made.

Lille and Lyon would so make sense to me, but I could make do with either Sampdoria or Sassuolo

Bournemouth sha has too many deadwood Nigerian descent players in their ranks, from Danjuma, Billing, Ibe to their oga patapata himself Solanke, all na scam .

TheSuperNerd:
Hmmm, ladies and gentlemen, I got some news for you.

According to Voetbal24, Napoli could be in for Emmanuel Dennis Bonaventure. The source says Negotiations have already begun.

If this pulls through, it could mean Osimhen and Dennis at the same club.

Links woudda made this juicier

TheSuperNerd:
Please don't quote me saying this. If Nwakali's debut makes you guys cringe so much then keep at it but don't bring it to my mentions. I only dropped a report of his debut. And if he keeps playing, you will keep hearing about him here. Besides who are you to tell me what Nigerian talent to mention or discuss on my own posts? Please be mature and don't give me this kind of mention next time abeg. Merci.

You know when Omonbala1(Idenna) described this guy as being halfwit and too dependent on peoples' opinions to stay relevant, I was sad because I never saw him that way, but over time, with his cold rants, he has been proving Omonbala to be such an empath to have seen what we never saw, he has been such a dolt, quite painful I am saying this.

TheSuperNerd:
Lolllzzz... Abeg leave the Philosopher alone. I think that is him doing his part to drop a report on a player we may not have heard about. Free am abeg before I am accused of favoritism again for not reporting someone from Slovakia.

But we do have players there ooo. I follow the ones especially at Trencin.

Everyone is free to drop reports on any Nigerian player anywhere. More of this should be encouraged. You may never know where we find the next diamond in the rough.

Watch out for Enyeribe Ikenna, quality goalkeeping prospect

TheSuperNerd:
James Igbekeme is on the bench yet again for Zaragoza. Eguaras, Soro and Guti all start.

Valentine Ozornwafor also starts from the bench for Almeria.

It's Zaragoza vs Almeria coming up in about 34 mins.

I want Almeria to slump for Huesca, they don't look like they are gonna retain Ozor, otherwise, I am tipping either clubs for a place in laliga next season, with Zaragoza and the run away leaders of the Segunda division

Six Midfield players ready to hit the headlines

°Ovie Ejaria (Reading): Ovie is the next player expected to get a call up to the Super Eagles. Having switched allegiance from England to Nigeria, the Under 20 world cup winner has been lighting up the English Championship. He is signed to Liverpool but with Reading on loan

°James Igbekeme (Real Zaragoza): James will most likely be playing in La Liga next season as his club are currently 2nd in La Liga 2 and in the automatic promotion places. He was a former team mate of Oghenekaro Etebo at Warri Wolves. The promotion to La Liga will most likely raise his profile next season, fingers crossed.

°Frank Onyeka (Midjylland): Frank's rise in fortune coincided with Paul Onuachu's move from the club to Belgium. Both moved to Mitdjylland from FC Ebedei and Frank is now bossing the park in Denmark. He is a move away from hitting the headlines. A move in 2021 will see him hit the headlines.

°Kelechi Nwakali (Huesca): Kelechi has had a forgettable 2019 and by yesterday had endured 15 months of no club football. He came on for Huesca yesterday for 13 minutes and gave a good account of himself. This followed on from appearing on the bench in the game before. Kelechi has an outside chance of promotion to La Liga as the club is currently 4th in La Liga 2 and will compete with 4 other clubs for the final promotion spot. Whatever happens, promotion or not, it looks like Kelechi is finally back

°Alhassan Yusuf (Gottenburg): Yusuf is getting rave reviews in Sweden and is being touted as a transfer target for a lot of clubs across Europe. This summer will be interesting when the transfer market opens

Obinna Nwobodo (Ujpest): Obinna has now outgrown Hungary and a move to mainstream Europe beckons. The 2015 Under 20 Nigeria midfielder is ripe for a move and to showcase his skills on a larger stage.


Otite Dafe

Anderlecht seems to be at the front of the queue for box to box midfielder Alhassan Yusuf.

"RSC Anderlecht hopes to pick up next season with good results and ditto performances. In order to achieve that goal, Sporting will probably attract a few more players, which is why the club is linked to Alhassan Yusuf of IFK Gothenburg, according to Swedish journalist Daniel Kristofferson . The Nigerian box-to-box player appears to have the necessary qualities to take Anderlecht to a higher level.

NO JAN POLAK

The term box-to-box player may immediately remind you of Jan Polak, the Czech former midfielder of Anderlecht. But Polak was previously a running midfielder, with limited technical options. Alhassan Yusuf is a purely footballing midfielder, a type that the Purple & White supporters love and that fits perfectly with the house style. Yusuf, 19, has played at the highest football level for less than two years, but last season he already won the title of Young Player of the Year in Sweden. In the rankings he preceded, among others, Benjamin Nygren (KRC Genk, ex-IFK Göteborg) and Odilon Kossounou (Club Brugge, ex-Hammarby).

Many goals or assists should not be expected from Yusuf: in 32 official games for Gothenburg he could deliver 2 and 5 pieces respectively. But thanks to his effort, technique, dribbles and fit, he always makes a great contribution on the field. In each of these parts, Yusuf would already mean great added value to the current Anderlecht team. Although the quality difference between the Swedish Allsvenskan and the Jupiler Pro League must be pointed out, witness the situation of Nygren at Genk and the varying performances of Kossounou at Club Brugge ...

INFALLIBLE FIT

Yussuf's most pronounced strength is his impressive fit. In the Allsvenskan no footballer - except center backs - can put a more pure fit on the mat. As a 19-year-old, that is quite impressive, and that with barely one full professional season behind them. For example, the 91% pass passes pales at the 87% of Albert Sambi Lokonga, the best passer at Anderlecht - except for center backs. In addition, Yusuf delivered 8 passes per game more than Sambi Lokonga. Yusuf's numbers get even more impressive when we compare them to the best passers in the Jupiler Pro League. Previously it was Sander Berge, after which Elisha Owusu walked with that honor. Both men also recorded 91% passes last season.

DURATION BUT NOT INQUIRABLE

In addition to his phenomenal fit, Yusuf also has a good dribble, physical capabilities and a good cross. The overall picture makes the Nigerian midfielder an absolute golden rooster, as can often be found in Scandinavia. Unfortunately for Anderlecht, several hijackers are still on the coast, such as Sheffield United, Wolverhampton, FC Copenhagen and Feyenoord. In the past, Yusuf himself was still mentioned at FC Barcelona and Ajax.

Wolverhampton is said to have sold 7 million euros before the arrival of Yusuf, but that amount seems rather unrealistic. Its current market value, for example, is barely 800 thousand euros and, according to BT Sport, Gothenburg's asking price fluctuates between 3 to 5 million euros. A transfer fee in this order seems more realistic, because the Swedish club has never sold a player for more than 4 million euros. In terms of finances, that is still on the high side for Anderlecht, but in return they will certainly get their money's worth.

TheSuperNerd:
Easy. Stats wise according to Sofa score, two of those midfielders (Guti and Eguaras) are among Zaragoza's Top 3 highest rated players this season. The third has contributed 9 goals+assists (4 goals and 5 assists) from his role. The other top two have created the most big chances for the team, are in the top 3 for passing accuracy on the team and are in the top 3 also for accurate long balls.

Igbekeme don't have much on these guys to be frank even judging from the little I have seen of that Zaragoza team in action. They play again today so that's another opportunity if I find the time.

Igbekeme has not been able to maintain same form he had last season that set tongues wagging, stop listening to these guys that can't spare a data to see a player, but rush in here on the back of what they read on our local media to begin look for arguments here and there.

Ask komekn if he has ever seen a picture of Igbekeme, let alone his video, but he had to use him as a point Bkus he wanted to diss Nwakali and make his nightmare(Nerd)look stupid

Joebie:
no need for the question, go ahead and dig the post. and then we can look at the context of it as well.

It is your task Bkus you the one looking for reasons to prove we wrong to have called Nwakali's debut a progress from his previous years of no actions. Joke's on you bro

Joebie:
e no pain me. whih one u dey yan? i was specific that its too early to say he has made a progression.. he made cameo.. okay next

Do you remember your exact words when Osimhen made his Charleroi debut?

Philosopher1979:
Everybody watchout for yusuf bamidele. He is an attacking midfielder who plays for spartak trinava in slovakia. He is bossing the keague. He just arrived from a nigerian football acadeny in Nigeria.
A few years from now he should be in a big league and club. I like it when youngsters make an immediate impact

Show me videos

chrisooblog:
lol why you dey find trouble

I wan konk some funny heads here, I never too get time follow conversations well

TheSuperNerd:
Lol

Dem no fit give reports, yet jealousy no go still allow dem appreciate person wey dey devote his own time give us reports.


I remember when Joebie was giving of titbits and weekly run downs on Nigerian players in the Jupiler league, did you know my guy reported Osimhen's first minutes as a Charleroi player after his Wolfsburg failures, so why is Nwakali's paining him now? Hypocrisy

Edopesin:
do you rate Belgium and Serbia league the same was my question

Was the post you quoted about present leagues or probable destinations?

BascoVanVeli:
.

No young player has been scrutinized as much as Kelechi. U people complained about everything the boy did but now u are angry that people are talking about him in a positive light. Why didn't you complain when he was bashed for simply coming to represent theU23s and got stuck in the country? When people claimed he wasn't growing because of his lifestyle why didn't you say something then?

E dey sweet dem when I bash the boy, but e dey sweet me pass when I see them bathing with their own tears at the sight of me turning around to praise the same boy, so leave dem to keep crying, I love seeing those hot tears

TheSuperNerd:
67mins played, Dele Alampasu's Ventspils lead 2-0 in Latvia vs FK Tukums.

Alampasu on the bench.

You are reporting a player that has done nothing with his career since his U17 exploits as far back as 2013. You are biased, why didn't yo report Nwokolor that has been more consistent

Edopesin:
last I heard Lille are looking to sign him as replacement for Osimhen

Relate this to the post you quoted, then you have the answer to your question. Thanks

TheSuperNerd:
Yes. Saw him at the U-23 Afcon for all three games and watched him a few times at his clubside.
He got red carded today.

What's your take? Is he worth giving attention to? I wouldn't wanna waste any data only to be served a heartbreak in a ceramic dish

elunico:
I prefer his style to Etebo.

I am a big fan of Azeez, I hate players dilly dallying, holding on to the ball unnecessarily the way Etebo does, instead of going for a simple pass

Edopesin:
do you rate Belgium league and Serbia league the same

What's the news about Sadiq Umar?

TheSuperNerd:
Left back at the U-23 Afcon, Stephen Godfrey Bitok starts as usual for his side Isloch in the Belarussian Top flight (called the Vysshaya Liga) vs Torpedo. 33mins already played.

He boasts 1 goal in 12 league apps from his LB position.

Have you seen this boy play before?

Dessers Keen On Genk Move


https://www.completesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG_20200615_124443-400x250.jpg

Cyriel Dessers has sets his sights on a move to Belgian Pro League club KRC Genk this summer, reports Completesports.com.

Dessers is expected to leave Eredivisie club Heracles Almelo this summer with Belgian clubs, Genk, Antwerp and Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray among his suitors.

The Nigeria international, who was born in Limburg, Belgium once had stint with Lokeren in the Belgian top flight.

According to soccernews.nl, the 25-year-old is keen on a return to Belgium with Genk his preffered destination.


Genk are already in talks with Heracles, who have demanded €5m for the striker.

Dessers linked up with Heracles from another Eredivisie club FC Utrecht last summer.

The former NAC Breda star scored 18 goals and registered six goals in 29 appearances for Heracles.

He was top scorer in the Eredivisie along with Feyenoord’s Steven Berghius.

Genk? With the news of Sadiq Umar all over the place? Does this guy understand the competitions before him really?

Joebie:
The keyword is “ahead”. That should be the argument. Who gets mentioned here ahead of the other?

OK we should be talking about a player who wasn't in action instead of the one who was? What's the definition of sentiment again? Funny people

komekn:
He has been playing consistently in the Segunda División for a few seasons. But nobody has mentioned his name.

However, Nwakali that has not played professional football for close to two seasons is a SE prospect after 8 minutes as a substitute in the Segunda División

Is that not super delusional misguided favoritism. Or what else can you call it apart from naked bigoted double standard.

I remember you saying exact same thing about Osimhen, using Paul Onuachu

Erik Lamela will never grow. Very annoying player to have in a team.

timay:
@The bolded. Even though I'm not your fan but to be fair you're right.

I don't know who is hyping this Kelechi guy. Yet se people will be talking down on Iwobi , an Everton regular, while praising Kelechi that hasn't even tasted senior football in over two years because he played 13 minutes in a Spanish segunda division, tagging it as progress.

Crazy innit?

You need to go back to elementary school if you understood that post that was rather a mere report, as a hype?


By the way the hypocrite you trynna make feel good, was the one actually hyping Onomah when he was having it tough at Aston Vila in the championship, and he based it solely on his youth team exploits with Tottenham and England, also his previous stint with same Aston Villa. Same guy was hyping Tammy after his first match back to the championship from his Swansea misadventure.

He has started again from where he left off with Osimhen, dude is a Joke, no be today we sabi him

andrewbaba44:
Just negodu garbal lawal saying osimhen price tag is outrageous

So because he isnt brazillian then he should not be worth such amount , the kind things wey all this old men dey talk at times like say dem no get sense

Abeg me i cant wait for a Nigerian player to be purchased with such amount

I'm surprised you were disappointed with his utterances, Garba Lawal and Emmanuel Babayaro are renowned empty skulls, hence, I don't expect reasonable opinions from them.

edi287:
Lille's coach confirms Osimhen and Gabriel will leave this summer and club are already looking for their replacements.

My boys never disappoint
