Any idea who starts for Deportivo tomorrow? Uzoho or Tyton?
Tbaba1234, Joebie

I have a big genuine success story from an insider about some quality foreign born players making waves in Europe's top five leagues who have called in saying they are reconsidering their earlier stances of turning out for their European nations, I would have loved to share the news in details with us here but for the prying ears, let me shield my sword until it's reported by THENFF.COM. We wouldn't wanna repeat a mistake. With these developments, expect some changes and stiffer competitions in the defence, midfield through to the attack.

I fear for Omeruo, Agu, Echiejile, Nwakeme and to an extent, Ogu.

Naijaphobia:
After I dug this out from archive this morning, owngoal.com are now making news out of it this evening claiming they have evidence of Deji's letter to Amunike in 2015. Pure lazy journalism by owngoal. Am appalled!!Just wanting to take credit where not deserved. Even refusing to acknowledge completesportsnigeria.com as source.

For clarity, Deji actually commented on a report on completesportsnigeria.com in 2015 where he made himself available to Amunike for selection.

See link below:

Shame on owngoalnigeria.com!!!!! They are a disgrace to journalism. Someone should remind them of the criminal offense of stealing someone else's work and make it theirs' without reference. Bunch of lazy asses.

Joebie:
Olayinka scored today.. did anybody notice?

U promised us a rundown on the performances of our players in the Jupiler league and Turkish league. We are still waiting for it bruh

joseph1013:
If I should take a guess, I will say this player is Shehu.

Prior to now, there was no reason for his invitations to the Eagles. Yet he was always invited. It was baffling selection.

But good for him, he eventually took his chances.

If that report was anything to go by, then the said anonymous agent must be Tony Harris who flooded our team with below average players such as Gabriel Ruben, Michael Uchebo, Babatunde, Moses Simon, Uche Nwofor etc. The purported player still in the mix must be Moses Simon, not Shehu because I doubt Shehu is Tony's player.

Joebie:
Thank you. But Habib is still yet to clock a minute for Leicester U23. He never played for Chelsea.. I will be making modifications as they start to make some progress. The other two you mentioned were not in the class that passed the MRI for the World Cup. Same reason why I excluded Onyinye Ndidi.

Modified
I think I can excuse Habib. At least it seems his career is on track

As long as they partake in the qualifiers(the afcon u17),they are youth exponents of their respective sets. Hence, add Ndidi and also Jacob Njoku

Rohr On Alert: Bundesliga Teen Deji Of Eintracht Frankfurt Shuns Germany For Nigeria

Highly rated Eintracht Frankfurt 18 year old left full back Beyreuther Deji-Ousman has revealed his desire to play for Nigeria ahead of Germany, the land of his birth. Beyreuther has made the bench for Eintracht Frankfurt in some games in the Bundesliga this season, and the player who declared his intention to play for Nigeria ahead of Germany last year is still keen on a chance with the Super Eagles. He made his intention to play for one of the junior teams of Nigerian known to David Doherty two years ago when he was 17 year old and progressing through the ranks at FSV Frankurt before his move to Eintracht Frankfurt in January. This season he has moved he has moved from strength to strength and he is presently one of the most highly rated teen left back at the club, with his form earning him a rise to the first team from the U19 in just a week. DONT MISS ==> Leicester City Ahmed Musa Links With Hull City Explained Speaking on his rise to the first team, the left full back who says his style of play is similar to David Alaba of Bayern Munich also revealed he shares same Nigerian identity with the captain of the national team of Austria. ” I like the playing style of David Alaba, and we both have a Nigerian father”, he told Spieledb.eintracht.de, a comparison which sits as they both have same body size. Known for his pace and dead ball abilities, the defender who is yet to be capped by Germany at youth level said he is working on his right foot in his bid to become an all rounder.

Owngoalnigeria.com is reporting that New Deportivo La Coruna Coach Backs Uzoho To Continue As Number One

The chances of fast rising Nigerian goalkeeper Francis Odinaka Uzoho retaining his spot as first choice goalkeeper of Spanish La-Liga side Deportivo La Coruna won’t be affected following the sacking of coach Pepe Mel. Mel gave Uzoho is first team bow at the club, but he was sacked after their last league game which they lost 1-2 to Girona, and his sacking has lead to talks about Uzoho losing his first choice spot. The club appointed coach of Deportivo B Cristobal Parralo to be in temporary charge until the end of the season, and his appointment will no doubt help Uzoho cement his spot as first choice. Parralo was the coach who signed Uzoho to the club, and recommended him to the first team after just two months with the B team, where he displaced the first choice goalkeeper. A member of the Nigeria U17 team of 2013, Uzoho will no doubt relish the prospect of working with Parralo who once described him as one of the best hands he has worked with at junior level. The 18year old Uzoho will however have a first feel of his spot in the manager’s plan when they take on Las Palmas in back to back game in the Copa Del Rey on Thursday and in the La-Liga on Monday.

ITALY: Serie A - Round 10

---

About 17 Minutes Played

Fiorentina 0-0 Torino
Torino hands Sadiq Umar a second consecutive Serie A start.
Joel Obi not listed for the encounter

AS Roma 1-0 Crotone
Roma take an 11th minute lead from the spot, with Simy in Crotone's dugout.

Bologna 0-1 Lazio
Orji Okoronkwo in Bolgona's bench. Lazio go ahead as early as the 4th minute.

Is Nura Abdullahi also in the dugout for Roma?

Nobody talks about Ryan Sanusi (the midfielder that scores with ease) no more, what happened?

Da forgiveness I hope all is well?

Anybody seeing the match between Nwakali and Dessers? Both started and it's a cup game.

BTW, Onuachu with a headed assist in a cup game also against OB Odense

Cristobal Parralo has been appointed as caretaker manager till the end of the season. This is good news I think as he was the manager for Deportivo Fabril (La Coruna reserve team) in the Spanish 3rd division where Uzoho has been ever present this season. I think he knows Uzoho even better than Pep Mel did.
Cc; Zelex

Oh! nice try Leicester with the diacritics but it should be "IHE..." Not "!HE..." The alphabet "I" should neither be dotted above nor beneath.

Kayode the undisputed man of the match. Him no even say make him pity his younger bro in Uzoho Chai. Kayode's electric pace would make faint hearted defenders and goal keepers pee their pants. Dude is a pest, a bad thorn in the buttocks. Kayode is really hungry for the World Cup. Dude even tackles as though he was a defensive player. We need him

Uzoho looks the real deal. Dude is tall, good reflexes, strong grips, reads the game well to know when to come out and when not to. Comfortable with the ball at his feet . Above all he is a confident young goalie. He was tall during the U17 days but definitely not this tall. He has that physique that makes good goalies. The future looks bright.

A bittersweet match for me. Would have been happier if it ended goalless with kayode the liveliest outfield player and uzoho the goalie with the highest and best saves. Lol i kinda sounded selfish and too patriotic there huh? Chai what would you have me say?

I pray alampasu displaces the first choice at fareinse too. Ezenwa's rumored move to OGC Nice looks like it was made up and will remain a rumour until everything is done and dusted, I wish him the best.

My three picks for the world cup remains, enyeama, ikeme and uzoho but if ikeme fails to recover in time, then enyeama, uzoho and Ezenwa would be our best bet.

When you talk about high pressing, u talk about Kayode. Dude is the kinda striker every low paced defender wouldn't wanna face.

Like I said last week, even Ruben will sit for Uzoho after his injury

This game is so high paced and entertaining but, I'm torn between uzoho keeping a clean sheet and kayode scoring.
Good to see young Nigerians running the show in the best league in Europe.

krattoss:
little known onyekuru?

And you want people to take you seriously? Has Simon, throughout his stay in Europe, been able to achieve half of what Henry has achieved in a short while in the same Europe? Dude makes headlines week in week out in Europe unlike Simon yet u had the temerity to question his popularity (fame). See the calibre of teams struggling for his signature while your Simon couldn't secure a move to a team as poor as Brighton and hove Albion. Dude are you for real?

Onyekuru turned down PSG after medicals to sign for Everton.
Arsenal wanted him badly until Wenger factor reared its ugly head again, which they might live to regret.
Presently Athletico Madrid and Juventus are locked in a tog of war for his signature.

His exploits and transfer rumours come mainly from renowned international sites unlike Simon's that always emanates from ANS.

Simon is a turnover machine, stop-and-run without effective end product.

Henry exudes confidence, plays with guile, cuts in to good effect, a threat in goal, fleet footed and very unpredicted, little wonder big teams keep queuing up for him. I love cerebral wingers like Henry. Musa and Simon are anything but cerebral wingers.

Simon tracks backs, good, but he doesn't do jack going forward which is his primarily assignment as a winger. Onyekuru can track back too and still bail himself out with his pace and daring style of play. He is young, no doubt but he is head and shoulders above Musa and Simon currently.

Make we kuku go with 15defenders ,because u want ur candidate to go

Which of the sentences was too hard to comprehend?

soetanoreoluwa:
word "Doomed" on omeruo is too harsh... Thank you...

Remember hes a human , imagine his is your brother will you use that word for him?

When I said doomed I didn't mean he was cursed, this is football and the context I used that word rightly suggest his fate in the GWG. it simply means his position is in jeopardy. Thanks

I doubt Nigeria will go to Russia with only three notable centre backs and considering how bad echijile's game has deteriorated, it won't be wise going to Russia without a solid backup.

Two Lbs; Echijile and Tyrone maybe Toru
Two RBs; Shehu and Aina maybe Nura
Four CBs; Balo, Ekong, Awaziem then anybody between Omeruo and Agbo, (maybe, Uduokai, Iorfa etc) but I see Agbo nicking it because of his versatility but then u can't rule out Omeruo completely due to his world cup experience though he is a calamity presently.

Those "maybes" are options I don't really consider feasible.

In total, I feel we will be going to Russia with eight defenders

forgiveness:
I saw part of that match Omeruo team lost against Eto and Sam Nasiri. Somehow they were one man down and these two guys were tormentor in chief.

If Omeruo can't hold his own against those washed up strikers, then, the less said

tbaba1234:
Chidozie Awaziem scores, great header

Omeruo is doomed. While he is giving below average performances in Turkey, his replacement is pulling it big in France. Keep soaring Awaziem!!!!

This guy has the best advisors. Did u know he turned down Liverpool to join Nantes because he understands the importance of playing opportunities?

Da Joebie no jupiler league updates today? Da tbaba1234 is already back to business, please do as usual. I'm a fan

Kog45:
Pls don't tag me Uzoho hater,i take God beg u o coz anything on Uzoho na for u to mention Kog45 despite acknowledged you for good analysis on d boy.

Habi wetin u want again.

Wishing d boy successful career.

Hahahaha my man dun vex oo. Pele bro but I no mean to annoy u oo Chai. Hw ur weekend dey go jor?

A high profile friendly without our big boys? Smh

tbaba1234:
Wishing Uzoho another clean sheet.

Chai Akpeyi the jittery goalie, I hope u can see this tweet. Kog45, join me to shout keep soaring my boy, u r lion hearted!!!

The way u guys engage in crappy arguments is really disappointing. Wetin concern Solanke, concern our lack of potent strikers at the moment? Is he in any way a solution to the problem? Una funny.

Osimhen please get me a goal by the weekend to shoot yourself back to reckoning. I go like c u for that Algeria list.

Good luck to Acho too.

Abraham you are keeping us waiting.

Rohr please try out Onuachu, he might turn out to be an upgrade on the so called Abraham.

Chai Acho has become so poor that his diehard fans are now pondering over sending him to China (of all places) for more football education.

Dude should seek a loan outta Leicester, else...

DENMARK: Superliga - Round 13

---

Midtjyland 4-2 Horsens
Paul Onuachu scores Midtjyland's fourth, and clocked 90 mins. He was cautioned in the 55th. Onuachu who stands at an incredible height of just a little over 2.00 meters, has scored 14 goals and 5 assists out of 17 matches from all competitions this season.

Horsens' Ayo Okosun also posted a full shift, and was shown a yellow card in the 37th.

Onuachu the goals machine. His aerial prowess is second to none. He scores with both feet too. His agent should please take this guy to either France or Germany.

Onyekuru has rly given a very good account of himself. Fantastic player, playing in a shitty team. He just hit the bar and has bn behind every sniff on goal that Anderletch has ever had in this match so far. He will end this match with his head held high. Top top player

Nigeria has such a talented winger and Rohr is trynna force a crap like Musa and Simon down our throat? OK oo.

All hail Lord Onyekuru, the bleeper of almighty Dani Alvez. Who else saw that nutmeg on Verratti?
