Karim Onisiwo and Rohr's Ujah start for Mainz

krattoss:
one thing I love about him is the fact that he is good with both legs

Surreal bro, Surreal

maidaboi:
Sheyi ojo starts

These are the guys we should be reporting about as they are the present and future of the Eagles. A certain Vicmo is just an active ex international just like Emenike , Igiebor, Obasi et al

safarigirl:
Success will start in a 4-5-1 formation against

Hope he has a great game

A good game today, will see him maintain this starting spot by the weekend also as Deeney is transiently out injured

Kalu putting up a MOTM performance yet again, even with a yellow card to his name

Success likely to start against Tottenham this night

Odunayaw:
Rohr is saved by the gods.

God knows the reason for Ujah's recall, anyway make I de look.

Hahahahaha funny man. I have seen Danjuma in action several times, he aint better than what we have already. I dont even think he is as good as the guys already there. I would pick Lookman ahead of him to back up Onyekuru and SiMoses. Either ways, he is gonna end up a fringe player, because, he can neither start for Nigeria nor the Netherlands.

Ekong starts again for Udinese against Lazio. Kalu starts too, already with a huge assist as Kamano gives Bordeaux the lead against Lille

Odunayaw:
Toh, Chris must be measuring Rohr's coffin now

This is a fake news with the intentions of making the NFF to act fast. Though, I wouldn't feel bad if we missed out on him, that position is filled to the brim with better players, though I learnt Rohr wanna use him as a striker.

That said, Rohr remains what and who he is, a clueless opportunist who has come down here to destroy our darling Eagles. Just imagine who he is eyeing for a recall, Ujah of all strikers.

Which Big suitors? A player that has officially flagged off his journey to retirement.

Barcelona could still offer him a life line as a wing back. Semedo hasn't been convincing enough, Wague is injured and Roberto now plays in his primary position.



By the way, where are Kelly Kester and Ike ThankGod?

This is too bad. I hope Moses leaves ASAP because he will definitely have big suitors



Zola: Odoi Is Ahead Of Moses At Chelsea


By Johnny Edward:

Chelsea’s assistant manager, Gianfranco Zola has revealed that teenage star, Callum Hudson-Odoi is ahead of the former Nigeria international, Victor Moses currently at the club reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

Moses has made two substitute appearances since the start of the season and has been in and out of the team in the last one month missing the club’s last five games.

Odoi on his part is regarded as the brightest talent from Chelsea’s academy and is seen as the future of the club but he must be patient Zola stated in a pre-match conference on Tuesday.

“Callum has done extremely well in pre-season, one of the players who impressed the most with Ethan Ampadu,” Zola revealed during his press conference on Tuesday.

“They’re two players with bright futures. They are both in contention tomorrow, in the squad, and we will see.”

“We have a lot of players. We didn’t do a big pre-season, so these games can serve as a pre-season to give time for players like Christensen, about Cahill, an opportunity to get games. Callum and Ethan are the future of this club and we are going to take care of them.”

“Don’t forget that, when we played the Community Shield, he (Odoi) was in ahead of players like Victor Moses. If he hasn’t got the consideration of the value, we wouldn’t have done that. He is the future. But he’s in a very competitive team. He has to be patient, wait for his opportunities and, when they come, take them in the best way.”

On the game, the former Chelsea star stated clearly that ‘greedy’ Blues will be out to win the game.

“It is an important game. We are Chelsea and we want to play all our games and try to win all our games.”

“We’ll take it seriously. It’s not Premier League, we know. But because of who we are, what we are, we want to play and play the games as best as we can. So we will tomorrow.

“It’s an opportunity to see players who haven’t have many games so far, so that is an opportunity. But still it will be a good team.”

“Personally, as Chelsea, we are very greedy and want to win both of them if we can, so we are going to try and do the best. The game on Saturday will be huge. Huge… it’s going to be important because of the type of game. It means a lot. Starting from tomorrow, we’re going to be competitive, and then we’ll see what it is like.”

He also ruled out the duo of Antonio Rudiger and Ruben Loftus-Cheek from the game while adding that Pedro Rodriguez is a big doubt for the game.

“Ruben has had an injection and is still recovering. It’s very unlikely he’ll be able to be part of the game tomorrow. So is also Rudiger [out of the game]. Pedro is recovering very well, but it’s tough for them to be part of the game tomorrow.”

I wonder why no one comes here no more to make mockery of KC Iheanacho. What is happening? I am not understanding oo

Who still doubts my high rating of Tomori?
Southgate and Giwa, do u guys now agree with me that Tomori has improved?

Let's go babes!!! Hit them harder!!

The Babayaro brothers are Igbo but grew up in Kaduna

Thats not our argument. They can come from the Ashanti tribe for all I care, what we are discussing is the town that made them. Orji Okonkwo that I targed "Benin boy" no be igbo? But, he is a Benin product, just as Mikel is Jos product, Chinedu Obasi is from Akanu Ohafia in Abia State but he was made in enugu, Okocha is an enugu product but originally from Delta state, Papilo is from Obinkita Arochukwu in Abia State but he is an Owerri product. Plenty of them

Clerence Seedorf has forced Benjamin Moukandjo into early international retirement with his "no Chinese league player" policy. Nawa oo, his best player and captain for that SMH

tbaba1234:
The Investor at Egypt, Pyramid FC has withdrawn his investment. Players bought will be sold.

Azubuike Okechukwu would be looking for a new club.

This is what is called hit and run. Lol bad guys go understand this better, just promise her heavens, chop clean mouth dey go ur way

Dem players go dey in limbo now, Nasri and Zlatan dey lucky say dem no fall for this scam. Well I hope dey release Azubuike on a free so that he goes to France to get a modest but decent club.

Victor Moses na Benin him grow. No be Kaduna. Forget that thing he told the international press. I sabi him reach him Papa House for Benin.

See this your list the number of players wey from Anioma alone or Ajegunle long pass that one o.

Well, Yekini, Amokachi, C. Babayaro and Tijani Babangida are prominent names in Nigerian football. In lag, I can only think of Emmanuel Amunike, Keshi and maybe Siasia as big names. Udeze, Ighalo and co na wash

Icon4s:
Apart from the Babayaros and may be Amokachi, which other player(s) started from Kaduna?

Victor Moses, tijani and haruna babangida, rashidi yekini, ambrose Efe et al

Icon4s:
Who dey talk Kaduna? Do you even know that the ''Babayaro'' was an adopted name? Cele and Emma resemble people wey go bear Babayaro as real surname?

And on Bendel's continued dwindling fortunes in sports. That's true. The recent adminitrations have not been taking Sports that seriously. And maybe also people's passion to participate in sports have reduced. Our youths these days are found more at viewing centres and Betting houses. Rather than they playing the game they bet on those playing the game. You need to see how Yahoo-Yahoo and Betting have eaten deep into the lives of youths in Benin today. Benin is rated only second to Lagos in these two activities.

Bro, Kaduna dun produce some great footballers for Eagles oo. Yes I know the Irokas adopted the name "babayaro" even though they are originally from Imo State, but they are Kaduna boys just as Obi Mikel is a Jos boy. Remember this discussion emanated from Orji Okonkwo as a Benin boy.


About the dying desire to tap leather presently in Edo and Delta, mehn it is painful. Even Owerri dun dey turn to Haven for YAHOO - YAHOO. Lagos has never really been useful to the super eagles despite the population. We can count the players from there, and they were bang average at best.

Bros, a bird in hand is worth more than 10 in the bushes o. How are you so sure he or the team will even make it to the WC. If we actually make it to the WYC many of those home lads may be dropped as Aigbogun is already courting some foreign based players to add to the squad.

He is still a young player. Nothing wrong in he starting with Porto B.

Well, u made sense. I wish him the best.

Do you guys know what is called '' UP BENDEL''?

Bendel state used to be the state that produced the highest number of Sports men in Nigeria. Bendel state now Edo and Delta, used to take sport very seriously. They were always first at the National Sports festival. So many legendary players were from Bendel: Stephen Keshi, Sunday Oliseh, JJ Okocha, Nduka Ugbade, Victor Ikpeba, Jonathan Akpoborie, Bright Omokaro, Sunday Oboigbe, Thompson Oliha, Wilson Oruma, Wilfred ''Avgbonabasket'', Austine Eguavoen. etc, you can even add more recent ones like Julius Aghahowa, Osaze Odemwingie, Yakubu Ayegbeni, Victor Moses.

In fact I recall in 1985 when Nigeria won the maiden U17 World Cup. There were popular shouts of ''Up Bendel''! ''Up Bendel''! in Bendel Dominated neigbourhoods as the team was dominated by Bendelites. Off my fingers i can recall names like: Lucky Agbons(forgotten the full spelling), Nduka Ugbade, Jonathan Akpoborie, Kingsley Akhionvbare(Not sure of spelling), Victor Igbinoba. These were the hit men of the team.
And Victor Igbinoba scoring that screamer to take the game to 2-0 was the iceing on the cake.

So I am not surprised, no be today.


cc: ChrisKels

Man no be lie, some people tend to bed it towards kaduna because of the Babayaro brothers and others but mehn, Edo and Delta own it. Bendel dey produce players in their numbers, but they seem to be taking their feet off the pedals a bit, recently.

Modified; sadly, this defunct Bendel(Edo and Delta) no get any club(s) in the NPFL anymore. Bendel Insurance is long gone and Warri Wolves has been a big joke since Pinnick left the office, as Delta State minister of sports

they are called kit sponsors for a reason, they pay huge money to club to get rights to make replica kits for the team and fans

aba tailors simply will not do here Nike or addidas would not come into the Nigerian market because of the poor value of our currency and two Nigerians arnt mad in love with local clubsides

there is a local sports wear company owu sports there kits arnt attractive that's just it

We are saying the same thing. Since those giants aint interested, contract a good company in Aba, tell them the quality u want, and they will perfectly do just that with a sexy design. Finito!!!

Valentine Ozonwafor, as you may know is also a member of the Aigbogun's U20 troupe. He is another young prospect. On why he is going for Trials? For greener pastures of course. Besides, I am just getting that News from you.

He is preparing to go for a trial with Porto. Me sha think he should have waited till the world cup is over. He would make an out right move with a good performance at the world cup than going for trials with Porto B

By the way, Icon4s, why is Valentine Ozonwafor going for trials?

E be like say na only strikers Edo State dey produce for us oo. I saw Orji Okonkwo "nwa Benin" (Benin Boy) against Roma, mehn that boy is a typical no.9 with his low Centre of gravity. He has a mesmerising footwork though his finishing aint quite there yet. One thing I like about him is his confidence to run at defenses, plus his nack to take risks though he needs to pipe it low a bit so that he doesn't look selfish. He is strong with a great positioning sense. Come next year, he and other Benin boys in Osimhen, success et al could be the ones leading the line with KC Iheanacho too.

After seeing his games, I said to myself, our striking problems aint gonna last because Dude was always sexy on the ball and his team plays some good football

Surely we need a more befitting jersey. Abd' Allah has really surprised everyone and I hope he carries this same performance to the Aiteo Cup and the next league season.

As per the pay, I am relatively now an outsider as far as the Club's Management is concerned. I cannot not say anything in precise terms but they are about the highest paying club in the Land.

A good number of those Enyimba players have national team exposure that is the CHAN, U23 and the Flying Eagles. I think this is also a contributing factor to their doggedness and performance.

Ur last paragraph is quite interesting. All the best to the people's elephant. I wish Abia warriors are doing as good too.

Icon4s:
Agree with you. Enyimba should be marketing Aba. Any of those Aba factories that perfectly replicated those Super Eagles jerseys should be able to do a good job when given enough money to design one for Enyimba.

Gbam!! U understand where I am headed.

Icon4s:
I don't know of any such plans for now.

Reason people have not really complained about this jersey is because ever since Super sports stopped airing NPFL matches people have not been seeing those games and such the jerseys. Now that people have started complaining lets see what Chairman Felix Anyasi Agwu will do about it.

Dat beautiful pitch needs some good looking jerseys to compliment it. I like the coach at the helm now. I never liked the idea of Aigbogun then. We seem to be playing better and more beautiful attacking footie now under Abdala.

By the way, how is the pay now? Enyimba players dont really look like ragtag unlike most NPFL players. Dey look neat and healthy even with some of their crazy hairstyles, u wud still mistake them for Europe based players.

Plz Omofoma should be a starter

PROVERBZ:
our logo is OK

just the Jersey wold be better if it was addidas or nike

We dont need adidas, puma, nike et al, to look good. Aba has some of the world's best designers. Just design something yummy laced with the nzogbu, then, we are good to go. If the Jerseys are cute, fans would feel the urge to buy them. Even in the streets of Aba, anyone putting on this Enyimba Jersey, looks dirty to me. I dont even want to talk about the Rangers Jersey
