Aigbogun is playing mainly home based boys against Saudi... I understand that he is using the game to decide who to drop among the locally based men.

Last chance to impress.

Bashir brothers and co did not travel.

locally-based men lol I see what you did there

Humility017:
come on stop begging the question...
amokachi was more direct and factual..he even stated the sum they were being asked....

I fear you guys that defend this coaches....because
nigeria coaches are like our politicians ....

who is defending who all I have said is be clear with your evidence not them say them. even in court hear say is not admissible. Every politicians in Nigeria as Bad as they are can you put your hand on heart and say that every one of them is corrupt

plus "a coach will ask them to bring N250000" now translates to manu garba abi?

forgiveness:

“For instance, in Nigerian football today, the youths, when invited to the national team, a coach will ask them to bring N250,000 each to get into the U-17 team when he already has the talent,” Amokachi told Vanguard Newspaper."

Tell Amokachi to keep quiet.

Quote from Amokachi. Did Garba and co come out to speak against this allegation?

"nigerians are lazy youths" quote from buhari did you forgiveness come out to dismiss this allegation?

forgiveness unless you have clear evidence it's unfair to say manu garba collected or didn't collect inducement. what david alaba said if confirmed by him was even 12 years ago when the late yemi tella was coach. tbaba has gone to pains to lets us know that according to his sources lateef was poor in camp so why do you keep bringing up this matter as supposed evidence of garba's corrupt ways? we can all have are suspicions on issues but when we declare with authority insinuations without clear proof on a public forum that can be a basis for one being sued

forgiveness:
Manu Garba is one of the current joker. Imagine not playing a small boy because of crumbs not paid.

No wonder they dropped Lateef because they no say that one parents go open fowl yanch.

Nigeria my kontiry.

forgiveness:
So, Mourinho didn't win anything with Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United? Clap for yourself.

please point out where I said he didn't win anything the fact of the matter is that gaurdiola has always beaten mourinho from pillar to post

forgiveness:
Hehehehehehe! Computer thief.

But the same computer thief won the league that eventually retired the almighty Guardiola.

computer thief was later sacked, went to Chelsea where he was hero worshipped sacked � went to Manchester United sacked again�

Where as pep after winning 14 trophies left Barcelona a hero, went to Bayern Munich won every domestic trophy in sight left a hero

forgiveness:
I will show you only three. Do your research on the other two. Then come back and tell me who is the liar.

lol forgiveness why do you always like to expose yourself bringing results Barcelona matches with Real Madrid after Guardiola had left.

Forgiveness let me ask you this question why are you so obsessed with Guardiola is it his fault that he always beat Mourinho like a computer Village thief anytime they face off

actually in the Christian faith Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost and God are one and the same. so if you say Jesus Christ is almighty it's the same God us christians are praising

Jesus Christ is not 'Almighty', only GOD is.

TheGoodJoe:
Did you watch the game?

no I didn't just repeating what I saw on Twitter

TheGoodJoe:
It is not just about having a bad day but improving in quality to fit the system.

are you sure he had a bad Game because I read somewhere that he had 92% pass accuracy and five successful tackles in the first half

hmmm guys just got of solace chukwu's twitter handle it seems this ''under 17''guineans really think they are clever by half. it seems the senegalese are going to CAS and they have solid evidence that two of their players are over aged.

apparently guinea attended an u16 tournament in japan in 2017. two of their players in that particular tournament are in this current guinean squad. Ahmed Tidiane Keita & Aboubacar Conte i also did some checking here's the link showing the squads for that tournament in japan https://www.jfa.jp/eng/match/u16_InternationalDreamCup_2017/team_detail/02.html and the link to their current squad in tanzania https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Africa_U-17_Cup_of_Nations_squads

have also dropped two screenshots. wayo man die na wayo man go bury am

There is a big difference between LIMITED ABILITY and EXCLUSION.

shifting Goalposts again

tbaba1234:
Ndidi is at the top of the league in interceptions and tackles . He is breaking up play and is one of the best at it.

makelele that everybody loves to hail what were his skill sets? The same tackles and interceptions

komekn:
What on earth has Solanke got to do with thus discussion ❓ He doesn't play for Nigeria probably never will. So what relevance is Solanke here.

In football extenuating circumstances are NO EXCUSE, your personal circumstances and or deficiencies don't change your season.

Putting in top class outstanding performances does.

All players generate interest but until the contract is signed sealed and delivered interest in this context is just wind and fresh air.

If a club wants you they pay to get you, it's very SIMPLE.

Victor is doing well but so are hundreds of other players just like him.

why are you denying Solanke now I thought he was a starboy and flavour of the month before

ooooo you now know that extenuating circumstances are not an excuse for non-performance so why do you keep blaming the Portuguese Mafia for Dominic iorfa's poor showing at wolves?

i think it's the height of extreme prejudice to declare that osimhen couldn't cut it at wolfsburg. a lot of factors eg. injuries, lack of a steady manager, adjustment time etc added to his inability to hit the ground running. remember this is an african kid with no formal football training compared to his mates in europe being thrown into the deep end and asked to swim. if his mates like solanke who have always had access to world class facilities are struggling to perform i will most definitely cut an osimhen who just moved to europe 3 years ago some slack.

whether it's brugge or somewhere else the fact of the matter is that victor is doing well. onyekuru played for relegation candidates eupen his excellent performances for them got him a move to everton. likewise victor's good performances have also attracted suitors ac milan and co have shown interest meaning he's doing something well.

is he the best young forward in europe maybe not but has done enough to generate interest? most definitely

komekn:
First of all, he was in Wolfsburg and without prejudice he simply could not cut it.

He went on trial to Brugge historically and presently one of the top 2/3 teams if not best team in the Belguim league.

Now he then goes to the lower half of the Belguim league and is given opportunity. What does that mean to you " Best young Striker in Europe "

In reality it means he is not good enough. If a player goes to Liverpool and is rejected and then finds opportunity in Bournemouth. We should then say he is the " Best Young Striker in Europe "

He is doing very well and progressing but best in Europe hmmm ❓ l think you are over doing the HYPE.

thank you. it's straight forward really

TheGoodJoe:
Learn. chrisooblog said Barcelona were in a poor state. At the time of Guardiola's arrival, Barcelona was atrocious. The went two seasons without a title.

forgiveness:
Guardiola didn't turn Barcelona to title winning team. They have been doing that before Guardiola came. Ronaldinho and Eto won laliga before he came. Abi I lie?


Guardiola went to big clubs that were winning titles before he went there. That's the koko. Nothing special.

If he is beating this season, he go tear race go rest.

the fact of the matter is that barcelona were trophyless before pep came

You said barcelona bayern munich and manchester city were winning trophies before guardiola true fc porto chelsea madrid and inter milan were winning trophies before mourinho arrived

forgiveness:
Which trophyless? Where you expecting Barcelona to win the la Liga for life without a break?

Barcelona still lost the league under his nose. The guy tear race commot for Spain.

Messi and Eto won him trophies.

Bayern Munich were world championships before Guardiola took over. Nothing special.

He lost in his first season in EPL. Man City was winning trophies before he came. No big deal.

barcelona were in a poor state before pep came transform them into one the most feared side in football history

lol you are very funny he ran away after winning 14 trophies I hear you

Under pep bayern munich won 3 league titles back to back nobody achieve that

In england he broke all records on the way to winning the league title

all this he achieved playing exciting an entertaining football unlike some people that will spend the equivalents of some african countries national budget and still play cowardly park the bus football

forgiveness:
Barcelona was already a big team before Guardiola took over. He won because he had Eto and Messi the genius.


Manchester City and Bayern Munich were big teams before Guardiola took over. Nothing special.

Let him join Napoli or Valencia and win the league before we can consider him genius.


If EPL is hype, how come it's the second league to have won the UEFA champions League until now?

I hope you know barcelona had gone trophyless before pep join them. You mention Messi that every argentina coach has failed to win a trophy with as if it's that easy

Pep won 14 trophies with barcelona since he left no coach has match that record.

he went to germany also broke records most consecutive wins, earliest time winning a title

Came to england most league points, most consecutive wins, most goals scored

He achieved all of this yet all of you people are still not satisfied

andrew444:
Is Mattéo Guendouzi better than him?

Just asking

lol guen wetin? In which universe jokes apart the french guy has potential but he loses the ball too damn much

andrew444:
Onazi is good my argurment is that ndidi is better than him

Onazi will start at those epl small teams if he is there

I am glad he didnt join Birmingham because to me its a step down

I have always seen lazio as a big club

I like onazi too but ndidi is definitely better in defensive midfield terms

charlesemeka85:
Onyekuru plays for the biggest club in Turkish football and not only that have so far distinguished himself in his first season there. Attracting the likes of bayern and co is testament to the wonderful season he is having so far. If u are in turkey but not playing for one of the 3 top teams in Turkish football which are fene, gala and besiktas then u re not to be counted among the best

agree with no reservation whatsoever

tbaba1234:
In the last few seasons, Ndidi has one of the highest stats in breaking up play. This means tackling, interceptions etc...

Makalele and Kante did not have to do much else to be considered world class. Put Ndidi in a team with ambition and you will see his value.

ndidi's stats rank up there with the best the only thing he is lacking compare to his mate in top six teams is passing. But whether is tackling interceptions you name it he is one of the best

forgiveness:
Onazi played mostly as a CM in Italy.

If you think Seria A teams are not discipline, it's up to you.

Onyekuru left a better Belgium league for Turkey. What do you have to say about that?

correction henry left a better belgium for england before being loaned 2 a club in turkey

off topic can't express enough how amazing a footballer de bruye is have no doubt woulda been in the running for balond'or this season had he been fully fit throughout

commiserations GoodJoe just wasn't meant to be truth is man city should have buried spurs earlier so they would have been no VAR heartbreak and for some reason his teams have always been lacking defensively these past few years. have to say the level of bad belleism against pep is off the charts. it's like pent up years of frustration against gardiola (for whatever reason) has been unleashed on him like a hundred volcanoes going of at the same time. ah well whatever helps them sleep well at night

TheGoodJoe:
My comment yesterday on Manchester City bluemoon forum.

---

I think I am not too bitter because I am now used to being cheated by UEFA. A part people are not talking about is that Ederson got fouled before the goal and the referee let it stand.

As soon as the referee was going to check the VAR screen, I just knew the people in the VAR room will not show the referee that angle that was quite clear that Llorente used his elbow.

It is time we get this Champions League knockout phases right. If we are not blowing our opponents away, we will get cheated.

From Dailymail:

The ball hits Fernando Llorente's arm as he scores Tottenham’s vital third goal... but the footage wasn't used in the VAR review

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...nhams-vital-goal-against-Manchester-City.html


It is just a pity that the UEFA conspiracy lives on against Manchester City. I am used to it.

Omo see game anybody that is not watching man city vs tottenham you are missing big time 4-2

weren't benzema, bale, isco, modric to mention a few still performing during CR7's time at madrid despite his ''high maintenance''?

Icon79:
That's the point I was making. Whereas a player like King Leo Messi makes other players (from defenders to midfielders to strikers) better, Cristiano Ronaldo makes other players poorer because he plays in only one half of the pitch and rarely contributes in other areas. Cristiano is a high maintenance player. If you play in the game then some other player(s) has to play 2 people's position in other to cover for Cristiano.

At Real Madrid, Casemiro does this dirty job for him.


O pari

and messi is some defence general? where was messi when roma tore barca a new one last year at the stadio olympico?

Icon79:
Bros, like I had said several times, take away Cristiano Ronaldo's goals and he's useless to any team. Here's the question everyone ought to ask: since when did Juve become porous in defense?

Playing with Cristiano is like playing with 10 men against 11, because he's useless defensively.


O pari

good he has calmed down

COOL10:
Lateef posted this some hours back

ronaldo was bought as a striker and also that big name player to deliver during crunch time. he did that during the knockout rounds scoring all five of juves goals at this stage. if juventus had defended better they would be in the semis right now

Icon79:
Bros, when you consider that Cristiano Ronaldo is earning more than all the other players combined, you'd realize that he ought to have done more than try his best. The bottom line is, Juve bought Cristiano Ronaldo for one reason and one reason only - to win Champions league. Hence, if Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't get them to win the cup then he failed, especially considering that Juve has been quite close to winning it without Cristiano in the last two years: 2017 - Finalist and would've won it last year if not for the English ref's dodgy officiating.
