Roque Mesa puts Leganes in front again, after Awaziem showed his aerial prowess to win back possession and orchestrate an attack with a simple pass leading to yet another counter


Valla 1 - 2 Lega

Omeruo easily beaten as Valla draws levels


Valla 1 - 1 Lega

Wow Leganes breaks on a counter, finished off brilliantly by their inform striker, Braithwaite.


Valla 0 - 1 Leganes

First chance of the game, from a corner, falls to Omerou and he messes up what wouldda been a joyous goal if it was an Ajayi that took that header.

Watching Omeruo and Awaziem in action once again as Leganes takes on Valladolid


Gotta use this opportunity to assess the much talked about Ghanaian young center back, Salisu

charlesemeka85:
When Semi Ajayi scored for West Bromwich Albion yesterday in their 1-1 draw against Leeds United, the 26 year old was not in the know that he has further established himself as the highest goal scoring defender ever in the history of players of the senior national team of Nigeria at club level.

Ajayi has so far scored 19 career goals at club level and that is more than any other Nigerian defender who has played in Europe in the history of Nigerian football. Joseph Yobo is the closest with 13 goals to his name.

Ajayi who is now the first choice centre defence pair for the Super Eagles alongside William Troost-Ekong can easily pass as the most improved Nigerian player last year as he moved from getting dropped for the Africa Cup of Nations to becoming one of the pillars in the team.

At promotion chasing West Brom he has been ever present for the team with his performance earning him as many as six man of the match award following his transfer from relegated Championship side Rotherham United in the summer.

Linked with a move to a team in the English Premier League in the January transfer window, he looks however certain to remain at West Brom where he hope to aid their push for promotion by not just stopping strikers from scoring but also scoring as well.

He has four goals this season from his position as a central defender and the tally makes him the joint sixth highest goal scorer for his team so far after 26 league matches in the English Championship this season.

I don't think this is entirely true. Uche Okechukwu scored more than 23goals in Europe as a centre back, also, it is worthy to note that some of Ajayi's goals were scored while he was playing as a midfielder

Ahh dem don collect badou ndiaye

Bye bye to onazi

So he can’t compete with players he is younger than

Anyway he won’t lack offers sha

Am sure of that

Onazi will lack offers from good clubs. He might be able to secure contracts from San Marino, Kazakhstan, Czech, Slovakia, Gibraltar et al sha

Stoke City fans have been fuming and calling for the head of their coach, should they fail to survive the drop, for his carelessness that has led to the loss of their best two midfielders in Etebo and Ndiaye, to Getafe and Trabzonspor respectively

andrewbaba44:
Lol

In all honesty bro, I saw this coming as soon as they secured the services of Badou Ndiaye from Stoke.

That club is ambitious oo

elyte89:
Someone was told to find anoda club dt his service is no longer needed... Wetin dt one mean ,no b sack b dt ?

Waka there, Mr English teacher. U wan teach Andrew English? Oloshi!! He was not sacked, he was rather asked to look for another club, in other words, he wasn't relieved of his duties

Subzero047:
This Las Palmas?

I said did u watch, not "did u browse". I remember his display against Barcelona where he bossed it real good, leaving every opponent in his wake, as a B2B

tbaba1234:
Even when Etebo has been played as AM, what has been his impact in terms of goals and assists?

The mixture of Etebo and Ndidi is like playing with a hand brake, no flow. Two hard workers with limited creativity.

Well, Arebo should watch it, he was stinking up the whole place in our last two matches, remember Azeez and Etebo are not here to be restricted to mere bench roles.

Danielnino00:
Its not advisable for players to move in January unless they really need to..

in this case,Balogun Ebuehi and to some extent Iheanacho are the ones badly in need of a move...
Etebo already got his own...

I av already told u guys never to read deeply into winter transfer speculations. No serious player moves mid season. At best, they get loaned or signed and loaned back to the team they got signed from, till summer.

Danielnino00:
U seem to have forgotten that Etebo started his career as an attacker and that he was renowned for his goalscoring exploits since with the u-23 .. Even with the super eagles,he started out in a free role before Rohr started playing him deep! He was our best midfielder at the world cup and at the AFCON...

Etebo is a good box to box midfielder, my major problem with him is that he tends to go mechanical most times, by holding on to the ball and looking for who to wrestle with, instead of giving a simple pass to a free man. Nothing infuriates me than a player that unnecessarily delays passes, the way Etebo does.

Subzero047:
Players are played according to their strengths

Aribo is creative and attacks the box that's why he's given a free role

While Etebo is neither, that's why he's assigned to help Ndidi in defensive duties

Did u watch Etebo at Las Palmas?

tbaba1234:
Aribo and Ndidi works better than Etebo-Ndidi.

Bkus Rohr was restricting Etebo from surging forward unlike Aribo, hence making Ndidi have an undefined role?

AndSunGorilla:
So apt with your knowledge and good eye for spotting talents you are a confirmed AKPUDA on an advanced level!!!!!

Emeka dis guy just murdered u here I swear

AndSunGorilla:
So apt with your knowledge and good eye for spotting talents you are a confirmed AKPUDA on an advanced level!!!!!

charlesemeka85:
nkita takwa gi

Hahahahahahahah Bros why Una wan kill me with lafta here nah? Wetin I do unah

AndSunGorilla:
No disrespect sir, pls what's the meaning of akpuda?

Hahahahahahahaha

charlesemeka85:
na one of the reason i no wan use hear any club wey end with 'spor'

even if the player like make him they score 1000 goals every season

But but but...Aribo should brace up for a bench role, with Etebo teaming up with and putting great shifts for a good team like Getafe in that Laliga and in the Europa league

Kbs468:
Chriskels, the below is coming too late else we would have helped retweet your list for a winning possibility

Too bad I didnt see it on time

charlesemeka85:
but thought etebo was on the verge to join hearts of scotland? rangers is a good leap for aribo with time he will join a better club in a bigger league. the time wey you get players from academica coimbra,rizespor and ekherispor nko?

Honestly, to dey see those yeye names of clubs in our list dey cause me stomach upset

charlesemeka85:
Etebo Joins getafe

Thats the kinda moves I want from our players, it makes our squad look sexy to the fans and scary to the opponents whenever a list is released for a national assignment.

E remain Arebo, me no gbadu that Rangers abi wetin wey him dey play for.

charlesemeka85:
Serbian side Partizan Belgrade have rejected a bid of 6 million Euros for their 22 year old Nigerian forward Sadiq Umar who is on loan from Italian Serie A side Roma, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Partizan have already made it known to Roma that they will be taken up the option of signing the striker permanently at the end of his loan deal for the agreed sum of €1.6m. A deal they could complete this January if they so wish.

Sadiq who has 16 goals this season with 11 coming in the league and five in the Europa League is the primary target of coach Rudi Garcia of Lyon in this January to strengthen his attack. Garcia gave him his breakthrough at Roma as an 18 year old in 2016.

Lyon’s opening offer of 6 million euros was rejected by Partizan who are keen on keeping him till the summer as he is their only recognised forward at the moment. They also want double the amount that Lyon are offering.

Their demands means Laliga side Real Sociedad are now the odds on favorite to land the lanky forward as they have discussed terms with his representatives over a deal in the summer and not in January. They are reportedly willing to meet Partizan’s valuation of the forward who finished as top scorer for the Nigerian team at Rio 2016.

There is no need to rush, he should wait till summer, he will get a better deal

andrewbaba44:
But this guy and onyekuru are yet to join gala nah

Yes but Jesse's is imminent, though, same can't be said about Onyekuru's since the new Monaco coach Robert Moreno, according to GetFrenchFootballNews, is demanding to assess all 1st team players before any transfer(in coming/out going) business can be sanctioned.

mostob:
All your players are not crap, Your coach is. For instance Xhaka , Ozil and Luiz were all crap under Emery but they put up masterclass performance yesterday.
Your own thief (Ole) came to destroy

Chai dis one weak me ooo

Sekidika right wing and Onyekuru Left wing

Roughly translated from google



What kind of player is 23year old Tamuno Sekidika


He played for Benfica and Stoke City's lower age teams and joined Eskisehirspor in the summer of 2018 from the Serbian team Napredak. However, he had to wait 6 months to show his skills because of the transfer ban. 2019 was the year of the Nigerian footballer. Sekidika rose like a elen snowdrop Esk in Eskişehirspor, which spent 2019 in the absence.

24-year-old Sekidika is a player that we can call the ‘modern wing’. In the early stages of his career, Sekidika played on the left wing and folded in. He worked heavily on the right side of the attack in Eskişehirspor. Sekidika had an excellent performance with 8 goals and 2 assists in the half season and had a direct impact on 45% of Eskişehirspor's goals.

Sekidika is very effective with its speed and quick wrists. The bitiricilig. According to OPTA data, Nigerian scored 86% of their net goal positions this season. To understand how abnormal this statistic is, we need to look at the other wings of Galatasaray.



Is Galatasaray useful?


Galatasaray squad is almost entirely static players, if you want to continue the championship race to add dynamism to the game has to make supplements. The transition of the Super League will be the scourge of the heavy defenders of the 23-year-old footballer will perform a set of questions on how the hücumlerini performance.

If we think that Galatasaray will pay a small bonsevis price to Eskişehirspor; Sekidika will be a risk-free and logical investment for Galatasaray.

News emanating from Turkey has it that former Benfica and stoke youngster, Tamuno Sekidika 23 will be signing on the dotted lines for Galatasaray before the end of the week.

Tbaba1234 what's ur take on the journey so far?
