Wonderful.

I was just reminiscing on the names they called me based on "Odun"

I'm almost in shock that Odunze is actually a real name
Odunze is a real name, in fact, it is an Igbo surname popular with people from Imo State, especially, Orlu

Samuel Chukwueze scores for Villarreal six minutes after coming on. Fine finish.
Saw Malcom against Manchester United, and I must tell you Chuks needs all the sitting ups he could get before that Malcom boy gets his invite

With the way Ndidi is going with injuries and the unreliability of his so called back ups, I think we should consider this bullish Crystal Palace young CDM called David Ozoh since he is leaning towards us, and he also hasn't been capped by England at any level.

It is about time we brought back Akpoguma to try a combo of him and Bassey in that CB, then we should reconsider Torunarigha now that he has moved to Belgium, as back up to both Bassey and Zaidu

Not credible.

The report also clearly said allegedly. Do you know what "allegedly" means? grin

Supposed but doubtful.

It is a guess.

Plettigoal, on the other hand, is an authority on Bundesliga lads. Very renowned and Skysport-credible.

Not some Hammers news site running on guesses.

Mere interest. Rumored takes. No follow-up bid. Nothing. Truth is NO EPL for Torunarigha. He is headed back to Belgium and this time, Permanently.

Update: Torunarigha to sign Permanently for Gent
Because they no longer see him as a big talent, they have suddenly started pushing him to Nigeria by adding the GWG flag to news concerning him abi? Who dey wan fool? grin grin grin

Imagine 2 CBs I mentioned few minutes ago are wanted by epl clubs while the likes of awaziem and omeruo are still running round in the Turkish league and Spanish 2nd tier

Sometimes I feel some of our players lack ambition. Once they move to europe they become too settled to work hard for better clubs and offers

Too bad! angry

Nna, by the way... That Christy Ucheibe lass is everything a midfielder should be in modern day football both for men and women.

Highly cerebral, Powerful, pacy, quick feet, high workrate, eye for the linesbreaking pass, defensively sound, offensively threatening and more. What a player.

I cried out her name after that loss to SA. I knew Randy was drunk on cheap strong rum benching a midfielder that practically bossed a midfield against the Reigning Olympic Champs, Canada in April earlier this year.

Honestly, it's wonderful finally seeing her proving us right. 21 yrs old and already our best Central Midfielder heading to the 2023 Women's World Cup.


Indeed, your Village/home town is blessed. Something to be indeed proud of. wink
That is how we run the show in the field of play bro. The talent is innate and we are passionate about the game.

Chill Chris... Chill. Bassey so far have handled the pressures of big stage games in Europe and for a historic side like Rangers of Scotland.
On his Super Eagles debut, he also didn't cower. I trust this is a kid who can handle most, if not all, of what is thrown at him.

Also, LCB is the role he will be given if the Ajax deal pulls through. That is where Lisandro Martinez played for the majority of last season and with him joining Man Utd, Bassey is seen as his natural replacement.

Bassey interprets the LCB role effortlessly. Has the confidence and technical abilities to keep making a name for himself in the role alongside his alternate LB and LWB roles.


Mind you, Ajax is not the only club interested. Brighton have also made contact but Ajax's coach have held discussions with the lad already.

Show some trust in Calvin Bassey Ughelumba. He is going to the top.
I wish him the very best

are you from Isuikwuato?
Nwannekwu m, ndewo!!!!

We(the Isuikwuatos) are still mourning the death of our brother Noel Chukwuemeka Okorougo(a.k.a Ugomba), the man who revolutionised Nigerian football with his exploits in football marketing and financing. Remember he marketed Nigeria to Nike who signed a huge contract as Nigeria’s kit sponsors.

The Nigeria Football Association then earned huge money from the contract. Supply of kits was tremendous and all Nigerian teams appeared in dazzling and flying colours in their matches especially at the Atlanta Olympic Games where the soccer team won gold.

Opta Stats check: Calvin Bassey

@Opta Johan, Stats Perform's Official Stats football coverage for Dutch Football is already on the Bassey Train reeling off the stats on the kid. wink
The question remains, "does he have the prerequisites to thrive in such a high demanding club at this stage of his career"? I would rather he stayed where playing opportunities are assured than to a club that could stunt his growth due to lack of opportunities.

I don’t worry about his technicality I'm only worried about his physicality, but Southampton have a good number of Dms and Cms so they are signing him as an AM or Winger and we know the closer to goal Aribo plays the better he is
Well, I really don't expect much from this move, but I will like him to disappoint me.

Deal signed. Official Announcement next.
Good but is this boy good enough for the EPL? That is the question on everyone's lips. Does he have the sinequanon to thrive and make his mark, or is he going there to warm the bench instead of remaining in the SPL or going to Turkey or Belgium where his abilities could get him playing opportunities?

This boy, Malcom Ebiowei has turned down Manchester United in favour of Crystal Palace. In fact, he is inches away from sealing his Palace deal.

Funnily, once this deal is rapped and he gets to play for Palace in the EPL, he might forget he once trained with the golden Eaglets. I don't trust these Anglo Nigerians.

What is “so good” about those grandkids from Burkina Faso? grin Oh Africa! I had goose pimples seeing those cheats calling these selves under 17.

I understand the Nigerian players in the Under 17 team play in the Nigerian premier league. If this is true, then it is unfortunate! Very unfortunate indeed!

I will be happy to see my country use players who are truly under 17 and lose, than use over aged players just because they want to win and be seen as “champion” grin which nonsense champion is that? cool
All these tears because you have been found out? Since the invention of the MRI machine, have you noticed that Ghana youth system has amounted to nothing? Can you name any set of your youth team that failed due to fielding young players and still managed to produce quality players?

MRI killed Ghana and elevated Nigeria because you guys can no longer cheat by fielding Grandpas. grin

The few times we failed to qualify, we got qualities like Alhassan, Ishaq, et al. When we did qualify, we got the Nachos, Osigoals, Chuks et al of this world.

Finally, no we don't parade league players at the U17 level, at least since the invention of the MRI, and we have been reaping the rewards by churning out young quality stars unlike Ghana.
