How come my vote was nullified, even though I didnt breach any rule?

ChrisKels:
Can an already nominated man also nominate?

If yes, then, I nominate elder sir Kog45

Icon4s why bench ur best player(Iwobi) in a match so important?

Really amazing what Iwobi has turned out to be. Did u notice his team mates were desperate to get him the ball to help them create something for the team.

I noticed the boy now has that fear factor, hence whenever he was on the ball, the opposing defenders back pedal, he pounces by running deep at them

do4luv14:
ah yell you, but bro I been wan ask , how much Dem go sama me if ah carry am go bank

Lol u well?

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

do4luv14:
ahhh!!! Wetin him do, im give person akara chop

His vision, passes, dribbles, his touches...in fact his over all football intelligence as a striker is top notch. His inch perfect pass to set up Deulofeo in the first half got tongues wagging, too bad Deulofeo messed it up.

Humility017:
but same south african player scored in both fixture....
omeruo is not a player I see that can do well under well under pressure tho

Did u see Omeruo against Griezman in the 60th minute in the game between Leganes and ATM?

Isaac Success is a brainy striker.

Bazee on the bench for Hannover.
Okoroji on the bench for Freiburg

andrew444:
You watch the game bro ?

I will like him to start our next game ahead of balogun but I doubt rohr will start him

Balogun is a good defender sha ,I just hope he get more minutes ,omeruo is not doing bad,this should be the 3rd straight start

Not really bkus I was switching it between the ManU match. About the SA match, I would rather the three CBs were deployed in a 3man defense, this would be in a bid to maintain the synergy between BaloKong and at the same time contain the in form Omeruo. Balo has been pushing hard to win that starting shirt at Brighton.

A very solid display from Omeruo. I dare to say he's made that position his, I hope he doesnt lose form sha.

andrew444:
I think Kenneth omeruo has finally won a starting shirt at leganes

Some people already labeled him a bench warmer

One thing I have always said is give him some time because he just arrived leganes .

Best Centre Back so far for both teams in this encounter. Boy seem to finally living up to the 2013 promises. Now looking like the player that nailed Yobo's coffin

elyte89:
Even my padi gan Sir chriskels,I no nominate am

Akpa amu

krattoss:
I think Galatasaray and Rohr goofed big time.

Why on earth will the club rule him out for that long? Abi their health medical facilities and personnels are in functional?

And why did Rohr release his list so early?
Now who is gonna make way for the dude?

I tire my brother

Henry Onyekuru in the starting line up for Galatasaray vs Fenerbache in the Turkish Süper Lig. He's back from injury.

I dropped the post below, on the 27th of last month and someone quoted it to give a very interesting commendations to Henry's fighting spirit, from fighting to get ready for the world cup to the SA match...yet still suffer neglects

ChrisKels:
Henry Onyekuru still in contention for a place in the squad to face SA in the FNB stadium, as he returns to training earlier than envisaged.

do4luv14:
hmmm ober d bar

Hahahahaha good evening bro.

do4luv14:
Hmmm nah hmmm look ah dey so ooo, chaiii

Hmmm look kee u there

Icon4s:
But we are like brothers now anyways.

Brothers my thick cum. U for no put the disclaimer nah. Mtcheew

Icon4s:
Lol! I recall that incident. I had to put up a disclaimer on impersonation.

But we are like brothers now anyways.

Thank God u just confirmed it. Guy I dont forget things that easily. People would have thought I made it up just because it happened as far back as 2015. Dude, slight things really open ppl up for questioning. Look how he always try to attach whatever he does to the real Icon4s. U actually think his moniker is a coincidence? No, he is imitating the real Icon to look good in here because ur moniker rings bell on nairaland, especially in the sports section. I see him as someone who lacks confidence in himself and is trying so hard to impress himself. Always writing off point and still claims to know it all. Such a nauseating attitude. I'm sorry to say this, but that guy is a big joke

BascoVanVeli:
He did good yesterday, created a couple good chances and was always in his defensive position. Could have bagged a hatrick if he had used his right foot on a couple of occasions but outside of that he gave the coach food for thought.

Btw I also criticize NPFL players but it will always be about what they do inside the lines. People make all these generalizing comments that are not true and that is why I will speak up. They said no good players come out of our league but Stephen Odey, Emem Eduok, Afeez Aremu, Chisom Egbuchalam and much more are doing well in Europe to nonsense that claim.

Not a bad review. Thanks a lot

charlesemeka85:
lol i sight u bro. leave pple wey dey form ITK

D matter come bad as d guy na real olodo. Before he joined this thread fully, he was bragging to one guy like that, that he was same person as Icon4s. That was in the U17 final thread against Mali. Who is a worse mediocre than an impostor?

andrew444:
Lol bad guy

Henry is good,i agree with all what you said,henry is better than those guys

You know eupen is a small club in belgium? we are talking about the top scorer in belgium league that season before he was sold,he was joint top scorer at 24 goals with a polish guy,if he is in a team like club bruge and anderlecht i think he will go for about 25 million euros or 20 because he was just 19 then

Lukaku joined chelsea for 17million from anderlecht and he scored only 15 belgium league goals that season let alone onyekuru who score 24 for a lowly rated eupen

Onyekuru played 19 games for anderlecht and scored 9 goals,due to a 5 months injury that make him miss the world cup,if onyekuru was not injured,i am sure he will score at least 18 goals that season.

Oil dey ur head bro.

Omo na wa o

Pride and haughtiness is when someone addresses himself as "my humble self"and counted himself among the "excellent few" while he views "many" as the "wrong people" and "mediocres"

Lol

Let me just reserve the rest of my comment

The more conceited or patronizing, the less intelligent. If u know, u know

West Brom Reject Nigeria U20 Invitation For Teen Wonder Yussuf Ojebode


English Championship side West Bromwich Albion have rejected an official invitation for their 17 year old midfielder Yussuf Ojebode to team up with the Nigeria U20 team, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Ojebode is widely regarded as one of the best player for West Brom at youth level and Nigeria were hoping to steal a march on England, who can also cap him by inviting him to join the U20s but the club have flatly rejected the invitation from Nigeria.

The player was officially invited by the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) on the 31st of October to join the U20 team in preparation for the African Youth Championship tournament in Niger Republic next year.

In a letter addressed to the Secretary of the club, the NFF explained that they will need him to be with the rest of the team at the Serob Legacy Hotel in Wuye, Abuja on or before 11th November for camping.

West Brom responded via a mail earlier today written by Mark Harrison explaining that Ojebode won’t be able to team up with the Nigerian squad as he only recently returned from injury and has just rejoined the squad for selection.

They further explained that he will need to play in competitive matches to get his match fitness back before considering to join the Nigerian team, they however said he will be allowed to join the team in February before the start of the Africa U20 Cup of Nations.

andrew444:
Good point.

Maybe because Coman is french and gnabry is german they will rate him more than onyekuru

But as far as i am concerned They are not better than onyekuru as you just said.

Gbam.

Andy my man, no vex say I bn dey cold on I, na just say I no dey like fighting again buh me kwa dun see say u dun also leave that side out.

Oya lets flex our football talk jor. To me sef, neither of Gnabry nor Coman is as good as Onyekuru. Can any of those two do for a modest club like Eupen what Henry did. For goodness sake, Henry played in a team of carpenters, he provided them a shoulder to lean on, and at the ended of the day, placed them on the map single-handedly. U must be a genius to achieve such feat with such a poor club. U think if Onyekuru was Belgian, he would have been sold to cheaply to Everton? U think if he was a Belgian, Torgan Hazard would have made the world cup list?

BascoVanVeli:
Samu Chukwueze MUST learn to use his right foot. Could have had an hattrick last night.

I wasnt able to see the match yesterday, if u did, please help me with an honest analysis of his all round game. Yes he scored, thats good, but how was his performance bar the goal?

This is what Deo and Dr Dre do best on completesportsnigeria.com comment section, here, u are one guy closest to them in breaking into bits a players game without phantasmagorical juxtaposition to please ur audience, and at the same time, you also tend to criticise them(the players) constructively, though when it concerns the NPFL stars u kinda become no less surreal . Hence, I give u the honour...

BascoVanVeli:
Where else did he get solid playing time? Certainly not Everton. You wouldn't expect Rohr to call him off the back of the crumbs he was getting in England

Lol what happened to dissecting the boy's game, his technical abilities, how he would fit in, if invited and what his invite would Benefit the team? Oh he is just gonna invite him bkus he saw him play for RB Leipzig?

komekn:
Going to a big club is not always going to mean progression in football terms.

Progression most definitely with your bank balance yes but football hmm not a definite.

There is no guarantee, be it modest or a giant club. Just believe in urself, work harder, be resolute, grounded and enthusiastic of ur job(and whichever club u play for), then be lucky. Dare to dream!!

There are so many players who avoided the big teams, but never proved anything at the end.


Bayern is rebuilding and they have prioritised quality young players who aint already established in any of the Europe's best teams hence, they have their eyes on Henry, Piatek and other sensational youngsters out there. I enjoin Henry to make the move, he's got what it takes.

Robbery are washed up and need to be replaced. BTW, was Coman as good as Onyekuru when he joined Bayern? Even the present day Gnabry has nothing on him(Henry).

Clementoke:
I agree with you absolutely. If the transfer works and Chukwueze continue his rapid progress, I fear for Ahmed Musa and Samuel Kalu. Musa might be back to his super sub days

Aint nothing stopping Chukwueze's growth, but, remember Chuks does not play in France or Germany, neither does he play for Bordeaux nor bayern.

Do u know the only reason Rohr gave for chasing Ademola lookman? Lol that he saw him play for RB Leipzig

Humility017:
pray it works...then the naughty rohr will see reason to play him being that he adores German based players especially bayern munich.

we just have to give it to Henry...He is an example of a player that rose to stardom, pave way for himself without national team caps...

had it been rohr never invited him or possible overlook him...dude would have still come this far.

I so much love this boy....pray he keeps working hard.

Humiboy u just stole this from my mind. In fact, I would not have said it any better. Boy made it on his own and the confidence he has in his abilities wows me.

If this move happens, then even the most clueless of fans can draw Rohr's attacking three.

Bayern........ Changchun.......Bordeaux
