Orban interesting Milan and Napoli!

charlesemeka85:
how old is he?

Danielnino00:
So you mean to say Orban declined the u-23 invitation? You can't really blame these European clubs ..they're just trying to protect their investment..... But the NFF can still maintain close communication with these clubs and reach some kind of agreement to ensure there's no magomago over players honoring international call ups.. I remember Liverpool and the Egyptian FA reaching an agreement a few times for Salah to be excused from national team duties, something Mane and Senegal never did ..

typicalgamer:
Bro honestly don’t blame them

If you haven’t blown super eagles won’t pick you it’s that simple.

Imagine Argentina selecting and mls player for World Cup something super eagles will never do.

Nigeria rather stick with the faces they know

comodo:
Abeg una sure say this Fofana guy don reach 16yrs so??

TheSuperNerd:
For Basaksehir, yes. Game is over.

For Orban and Gent. Another 45 awaits to increase the tally.

Gift Orban's Scoring Madness

Orban has only played 4 KO games now in the UECL for KAA Gent.

He wasn't around for the Group Stage as he was still at Stabæk YET THIS LAD IS ALREADY JUST 1 GOAL BEHIND UECL TOP SCORER, LUKA JOVIC (6).

5 goals in 4 UECL games now (3 starts). All Knockout fixtures. Imagine if he had been around for the Group Stage. Europa is thankful.

The Haaland of UECL. 🤣

Naija's new goalscoring Super Demon.

Kog45:
This one pass Obafemi Martins o...this is damn crazy.Gift Orban straight to eagles camp.

zuchyblink:
A hattrick in 205 seconds. OMG

ChrisKels:
I don't understand why our coaches will be looking at Balogun when there is a Gift Orban. This boy is the real deal.

komekn:
Are there many clubs with more Nigerian players than Sheffield Wednesday with the best unbeaten league record in Europe.

komekn:
Can you explain because I don't get your rational here please.

I was trying to find his stats in the Belgium Pro league, expecting him to be among at the very least top 10 in the league. But he is not , he is actually 29 , so what's so great about him ❓

I apologize it seems there is some confusion, I wasn't making any reference to his age but his position in the Belgium Pro league goal scoring charts.

Because he is so far down you get different ratings. For instance ESPN have him as joint 22 with about 13 players and transfer market alphabetically 32.

For someone you said is EPL quality I think he is very far off the mark. He had not done enough.

Belgium league is rated 8th in Europe just above Scottish premier League.Tue Championship is widely held to be above the Scottish premier League.

In my opinion the term winger is not as it used to be. We talk about complete forward players, Mane and Salah are more than Winger's, in this regards we can say the same for Mahrez, Raheem, Rashford, Martenelli, Saka, etc

Marjoribanks:
This boy and Eletu are the heartbeat of ACMilan's under 19 midfield. I am happy he acknowledges his Nigerians root!

Onuachu who has left the Belgium league is still number 2nd highest goal scorer this season. Onuachu is unfortunately struggling in the EPL with Southampton.

So if Boniface is Taylor made for the EPL don't you think he should have scored more than 7 goals in the Belgium league.❓

I am trying to appreciate your rational please.

Belgium league is rated 8th in Europe and one position above the Scottish premier League.

Look at the exploits of Emmanuel Michael of the current U17 team.
Having a dead ball specialist in a team is a huge advantage.
Gift Orban should be invited for the upcoming qualifiers.
He is good enough for the super eagles

charlesemeka85:
he should take dennis slot in the national team

Bossman5:
A free kick taker is the least of their problems considering they couldn't even score Ghana from open play

Daninya33:

Dude is good.I am impressed by his free kick ability. It seems he can also use both feet well

IDENNAA:
I watched our U20 against Uganda and I was embarrassed to say the least. Just senseless dribbling, gra-gra , agidi and all sort of unpolished football at this age of their career. Ugandans were more talented and better trained

Update: You need a godfather to play in Eagles - Ex Footballer Throws Bomb🇳🇬🙆

A Former Flying Eagles defender, Kennedy Chinwo has opened a can of worms after he revealed that having footballing talent is not enough for a player to play in the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

He argued that any such player without having a strong godfather is going nowhere.

The world cup Silver 🏅 medalist made this revelation in an interview with Brila FM.

“It is the dream of every player to play for the Super Eagles. However, playing in the senior national team won’t just come easy. You need a godfather to play in the Eagles. But if you don’t have, no matter your talent, you won’t be able to play.

“A few of the players who I feel should have been in the Super Eagles despite their talent were not given a chance to play in the team.”

NB: Chinwo was part of the Samson Siasia-led Flying Eagles that lost at the finals of the FIFA U-20 World Cup to Argentina in 2005 in Netherlands.

Nigerians has since been reacting to the assertions of the former footballer.

What exactly is the NFFs plan for the forthcoming Olympics? It is about a year away.

Nigeria interestingly has a large crop of players that could potentially repeat the 1996 glory days. We just need to be intentional and sell same vision to the players to get on board.

Just off the top of my head I can think of the following players:

Arthur Okonkwo 21yrs
Gift Orban 20yrs
Sam Edozie 20yrs
Destiny Udogie 20yrs
Folarin Balogun 21 yrs
Noni Madueke. 20 yes
Carney Chukwuemwka 19 yrs
Michael Olise 21yrs
Ebenezer Akinsomiro 18 yes
Yira Sor 22yrs
Moses usor. 21yrs
Victor Boniface 22yrs
Raphael Onyedika. 21yrs

Of course players like Osimhen can join the list as one of the 3 overaged players and captain of the team and maybe even captain the team.

I pretty sure there are a lot more players than one could include in the list above. Point is, Nigeria potentially could win the Olympics again with proper planning and selling the vision to some of these folks.
