Emmyboy, Emmyboy, Emmyboy...how many times did I call u? Hmmm

Liverpool winger Bobby Adekanye is considering switching his international allegiance to Nigeria, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

Born in Ibadan to Nigerian parents, the former Barcelona wonderkid is eligible to represent the three-time African champions internationally but he is provisionally cap-tied to the Netherlands, the country in which he was raised.

Adekanye played three matches for Netherlands U17s in 2015 in the UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifiers and was part of their U16 setup but has been in the international wilderness for three years.

He played on the same Netherlands U17 side as AS Roma's Justin Kluivert , who is now a full international for the Netherlands.

The 19-year-old will not deny his country of birth if he is handed a call-up to Nigeria's U23 team ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games.

Adekanye never turned down an approach from Nigeria before making his maiden appearance for Netherlands youth level as he insisted that he would have honored the invitation from the then Nigeria U17 coach Emmanuel Amuneke if his club had been contacted.

His performances for Liverpool U23 team this season caught the eye of manager Jurgen Klopp, who invited him to train with the first team during this month's international break.

The Royal Dutch Football Association are in the driving seat to cap another Nigerian-born winger, Club Brugge's Arnaut Danjuma, after naming him in their provisional squad for next month's games against Germany and Belgium.

I have seen this boy play several times, nothing special than holding on to the ball more than required only to give away possession at the end or try a wayward shot at goal. Ojo is far more better.

forgiveness:
He has played 24 matches for Bologna in the Seria A and was largely played as a winger. I done follow the boy since he broke into Seria A two years ago.

Do u have any proof or ur usual transfer market site that has Ebube Duru's age as 111? I haven't missed any of his games this season, the only time he didnt play as a top 9 was against Juventus that he came on in the 68minute to play as a support striker to Santander.

maidaboi:
Eze and success should be invited

Not when u have a certain inept septuagenarian as a coach

forgiveness:
It may be. This is Liverpool not anyhow club. So, it's understandable.

However, if they don't want him this season, they're would have allowed him go on loan to Lyon or an EPL team but Liverpool rejected all offers.

Let us see how things goes.

Thats true bro. Liverpool wants him around else they would have allowed him go out on loan, they want him exactly where they need him, on the bench and sometimes, out of the match day squad.

Africa's all Time best.

K Toure ahead of kuffour? And Enyeama ahead of Bell? This is funny

Good to see Moses Odubajo playing yet again after a long Kay off. Welcome back to the beautiful game boy. He was OK against Arsenal yesterday

forgiveness:
Of course, he was played in the CF position but he has been largely used on the wings and that is where he's more effective.

Largely used? Please how many matches has bologna played this season to warrant that statement? Throughout this season, he has played as a number 9. Maybe when he went out on loan but definitely not with bologna in the Serie A and in the their youth team. I have never missed his game. I follow him, Ekong, Aina and to a less extent Joel Obi. Kingsley Michael would join the fray ASA he comes back to Serie A

TheSuperNerd:
My Africa Best XI at the moment

GK- Andre Onana

LB- Faouzi Ghoulam (when fit)
CB - Kalidou Koulibaly
CB- Mehdi Benatia
RB - Serge Aurier

DM- Wlfred Ndidi
CM- Naby Keita
AM- Hakim Ziyech

LWF- Sadio Mane
CF- Pierre Emerick Aubameyang
RWF - Mohammed Salah Ghaly






Substitutes:

Normally I would have 12 as subs as I imagine it to be my best 23 man African squad.


Some of them would be as follows:

- Yaccine Bounou (GK)
- Achraf Hakimi (RB)
- Jean Michael Seri (CM)
- Wilfried Zaha (LW)
- Eric Bailly (CB)
- etc, etc, etc.


Cc: Chriskels

Since Ghoulam aint fit, put Asamoah there. He has been phenomenal this season for Inter. Benatia is a bench warmer, we cant take the risk though, he is good

forgiveness:
Of course! Many times. And I saw him played on the wingers on those occasions.

Did u see their last two matches against Roma and Juventus respectively? When he was subbed in, was he playing on the wings? Go to whoscored.com to check it urself since u didnt see the matches. In those two games, he came in and played as the undisputed number 9. I saw the two matches with my korokoro eyes, and if u doubt it, visit whoscored.com livescores of those two match days.

TheSuperNerd:
I like your squad but ofcos in mine I will definitely make a few changes. I will definitely go with your attack line. I am not surprised to see a Zaha not breaking into that attack.. lol. But surely he makes the bench.

I will give you mine soon. Wanna drop a small list monitor first. I dey come.

I edited the post, Asamoah for Rahman since the later aint fit and the former has been a hit for Inter

TheSuperNerd:
Interesting. Oya give me a list of your Africa best XI at this moment. Use any formation you like.

Bounou will be my goalkeeper. My two Centre backs will be Gbamin and Coulibaly. My right back will be Aurier while my left back will be Asamoah. DMF is Ndidi CMF is Keita. My AM will go to Ziyech, Mane takes LWF while Salah takes RWF. My striker will be no other than Auba.


It is open to criticisms oo. Let me c urs also

andrew444:
Lol
Make I catch chriskels first
I dey sharpen my cutlass like this

Hahahahaha mumu boy. Dont worry when I get ur time, u go believe
Good morning bro. Hope u doing good today?

forgiveness:
Who was the 3rd person?

My best five are Salah, Mane, Keita, Zaha, Auba

forgiveness:
He has mostly played as LW and RW.

Why do u always rly on what u read online instead of trynna get the first hand info urself? Have u seen Orji play before? How many matches has he played this season? He plays as a central striker but when they are chasing the game, he plays either as a RWF or LWF not RW/LW.

darkelf:
Don't you think we might be rushing his call-up into the SE?

I dont think so because this rejuvenation didnt start today. We that have been following him even those days he was more or less dead, know when he started getting back to shape and that was last season in Malaga. The tail end of Malaga's season precisely. Infact Malaga's relegation was already confirmed bfor Success got resuscitated. If you saw his last two matches for Malaga, u would agree with me. Then add to that his superb preseason and the extra work he gave himself by starting ahead of time during the preseason.

Success arguably the MOTM and undoubtedly the best player for Watford. Scored a good first goal, made the second one, was a nuisance throughout and scored his penalty with pure class.

To me, he has done enough to start their next match by the weekend and also get a call from Rohr.

TheSuperNerd:
I think Andrew just misses having a bout with his best parring partner... You!

Lol I can smell it walahi

darkelf:
I'll gladly school the dude.

Lol if U must be the one to handle that course, endeavour to make "the effect of hard drugs to the brain" ur first topic because the said student seem to be a victim(an addict)

elyte89:
Oga,chill na ,

U need to go on a refresher course on Relating with ppu in a forum(RPF101 )

I no even understand where the kid is coming from. Whats really his problem? Is it that Sturridge is poor or that Solanke isn't as good as hyped by Giwa and Southgate abi wet? The incoherency in that write up, would convince an outsider that dude is actually mentally deranged. Maybe he was angered by the comparison in the sense that, it is an insult to put poor Solanke in same sentence as Sturridge the one legged man

andrew444:
Stop the dissing man ,yes solanke is a below average player but never you say as bad as sturridge

Sturridge is an injury prone player and that's the problem about him,it's not a mistake playing for mancity Chelsea and Liverpool,I wonder how you watch your football you are just a beer parlour football fan who know nothing than to diss

Sturridge is better than all super eagles striker

Someone has scored 49 Epl goals in 102 Epl matches and you are here talking nonsense ?

Sturridge hardly complete 90 minute and mostly come from the bench and you are here talking nonsense

If you wanna diss solanke dis him because he is a below average but never you say as bad as sturridge unless you have a brain problem

Speak the truth when you see one and don't twist your brain by saying nonsense because you wanna diss a player .

Shame on you man,you should focus on Nigerian league seems you know nothing about football.

Someone is definitely gonna lose his job due to his incompetency in the psychiatric home because I cant imagine how careless he was to have let a patient out in the streets.

Can Ikouwem Udoh be Nigeria's left-back solution?


Ikouwem Udoh's commanding performance and goal for Enyimba in Sunday's 5-1 CAF Confederation Cup demolition of Rayon Sports was the latest in a series of impressive outings from the left-back.

Has the defender done enough to be handed a maiden Super Eagles call-up by Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr?

His composed display, impressive all-round team contribution and well-struck goal in Aba further highlighted the qualities which have made him such an influential figure for the People's Elephant during their continental competition.

The youngster played all six group games and both legs of the quarter final, and continues to go from strength to strength.
The much improved 18-year-old has seen his stock rise in the past 18 months, since he was promoted from the Enyimba Feeders team in March 2017.

He's featured in the African Nations Championship and the CAF Confederation Cup, was named the 2017 Nigeria Young Player of the Year, and captained the Flying Eagles of Nigeria as they secured qualification to the 2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.

Perhaps faith played a leading role in Udoh's accelerated progression.
The player was preparing for the league season with Enyimba when he received an impromptu call-up for the CHAN in Morocco, following a spate of withdrawals and injuries.

An injury to Daniel Itodo at the conclusion of the group-stage matches led to Udoh being handed a first-team role, an opportunity he grabbed with excellent displays as the home-based Super Eagles finished as runners-up.

His rise should prompt parallels with a former Super Eagles left-back, Taye Taiwo, who was renowned for his deadly canon shots in the green and white of Nigeria.
Back in 2004, Taiwo was the breakout star in the Nigerian top flight, featuring for Lobi Stars.

His standout qualities were too exceptional for the national team selectors to ignore as the team struggled for adequate options in the aftermath of Celestine Babayaro's retirement.

Like Udoh, Tawio featured for Lobi in CAF's second-tier club competition - the CAF Cup - and was a member of the Flying Eagles before eventually making his Super Eagles bow against South Africa in the Nelson Mandela Challenge in November 2004.

A similar scenario appears to be on the verge of repeating itself for the Eagles, with Rohr opting to drop the team's only experienced left-back - Elderson Echiejile - ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Seychelles.

While Brian Idowu and Ola Aina, right-footed players who are comfortable playing in both full-back positions, might be considered options, the former's unconvincing displays could free up a spot for a credible and natural left-back challenger.

Rohr recently had the opportunity of working closely with Jamilu Collins and Ebube Duru, but regardless of his assessment of the pair, a combination of age, consistency and international exposure could see Udoh get Rohr's nod.

If Udoh continues to excel at the projected rate at Enyimba, then he could become the latest in a long list of Elephants to make the step up to the Super Eagles.

Surely, it won't be long before the talented youngster is handed an opportunity to make his international debut for the national side, and potentially even lock down the position for the next decade.

Rohr be like...'' Success my boy....''

His preseason form was no fluke.


Away from Success, Okonkwo seem to be knocking hard at the door. When he starts, he plays full 90minutes but, when he aint starting, he gets introduced very early in the second half. He needs to start scoring to pay back the coach for the confidence he has in him. He was brought on against Juventus in the 68minute today

Fantastic penalty from Success, even though his teammates let him down in the shootout. Five star performance from Nasahra

As bad as Sturridge is, he still benches Solanke, whereas a so called waste man is winning a MOTM award against Spurs somewhere in London

Success very much involved in Watford's equalizer (now 2-2), ran with the ball and made a critical pass. Holding the ball up well

It has just started for my boy, Osimhen

#ighalout

Africa's top 3 players play for one football club, that club is Liverpool.

Aina starts again, Okonkwo on the bench, Joel Obi not in match day squad

Icon4s:
They are coming to the Emirates so let Success wait for the game after that to get a hart-trick

COYG!

He should get his hat trick but Arsenal to out score them and win with iwobi as the MOTM

Orji Okonkwo, the Benin boy, tipped to make his second start for Bologna today
