Danielnino00:
If Rohr can allow the team play more offensively, we can thrive without an AM..Last season Liverpool had no recognised AM in the team (Wijnaldum doesn't play as an AM at all). .In fact the midfield created less chance than most EPL team midfield .The bulk of the team's goals were created by Robertson and TAA who had the licence to bomb forward at will... We have good wingers in the team but Rohr is making them do defensive duties....

Onye Igbo. How far??

Odunayaw:
RN we need a potent CM to sit in the middle with Ndidi/Etebo. Someone that can carry the ball/hold well with dribbling as secondary qualities. An AM,we need. How bad? not as bad as a decent CM

Yes, I'll go with a CM first and not really an AM.

Even a competent GK and GK coach is more critical than an AM at this moment

CaptainStephen:
yes, might be rival fans.

Most likely.

Odunayaw:
If we go by the post you quoted Chuks shouldn't be considered, he's not someone I'd call technically gifted (further reinforced by the cement kind of football they play in the leagues he's been in) , at least if that definition hasn't changed.

I'd rather he fills in as a striker, He'd excel there

Yea, we're quite on the same page. Any non-creative midfielder must sha be contributing to the attack.

We are tired of bland, conservative football

Earthquake2:
Xavier Amaechi is a winger, wow

We have like 10 brilliant wingers but no midfielder

As in the thing tire me ehn

While some countries may be looking for wingers like water in desert. This life sef

Earthquake2:
What striker do we have that has lit up the world stage?

Come to think of it, None has.

Even the vaunted Yekini.

But some strikers performed admirably for their European Clubs. E.g. Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Agahowa, et alo

Clementoke:
Newly appointed General Manager of Heartland, Chief Chukwudi Ifeanyi, has told Completesports.com that the club under his watch will strive for self reliance, generate funds and depend less on the government of Imo State.

Nice. Aman with a vision like this...well, let's wait till the end of the season for him to put his money where his mouth is

B4 u begin deh find gear for automatic car, Let me
RE-EDUCATE YOU

Coming to the Championship as a teenager and ending up as one of the top goal scorers in the championship is not an easy thing to do.

Then going to the EPL with a relegation fighting Swansea who played survival football and how many different managers ❓

But to then go back to the Championship older and wiser and then at 21 (true age) be the top goal scorer is really outstanding consistent continous top class performance.

No wonder Chelsea have given him the number 9 jersey.

Hudson- Odoi is a teenager and to think he still just 18 and was playing in the EPL at 17 is simply supercalifragilisticexpialidocious LOL

Although to pay him £150k a week is simply MADNESS but as they say " Who dem put sugar for him mouth, were no go lick"

All you have said, I agree with Sir

Because English leagues are not known for their patience with youngsters either in the Premier league or championship. Add to this the high intensity and physicality of both leagues and any teenager that still performs is worthy of effusive praise.

However, Tammy's mind is set on England and I wish him all the best

komekn:
Aribo for me is a battler and hard man in the midfield similar to Ndidi not the most skilful and technically gifted he reminds me of a certain Etuhu that played for Nigeria.

Onomah and Eze are technicial gifted players with Onomah the better of the two for now, who can play as AM. Also you have Ovie who can not be ignored excelled in Glasgow Rangers in a league that's not as good as the Championship by a considerable stretch.

The dark horse that is going to suprise all of you this season in my speculative opinion is Chuks Aneke now at Charlton.

Chuks Aneke is not a bad Idea. And I am not for having too many Etebo's or Ndidi's in the team. History has shown us that it stifles creativity and ingenuity.

Rohr should keep in mind to scout more creative players and not destroyers. Any new destroyer invited must be adding something to the attack either in way of set-pieces or long shot accuracy. Not just bland tackles that could cost free-kicks against us in dangerous positions

Rohr turns to Okoye to solve Super Eagles goalkeeper crisis

Rohr turns to Okoye to solve Super Eagles goalkeeper crisis

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr is looking at the direction of Fortuna Düsseldorf II safe hands Maduka Okoye to solve the goalkeeper problem in the national team.

Super Eagles are yet to get a consistent replacement since Carl Ikeme's football career ended due to illness in June 2017.

Francis Uzoho was packaged to the 2018 FIFA World Cup where Nigeria crashed out in the group stage, but he has since fallen the pecking order in his career.

At the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, Rohr used Daniel Akpeyi as first choice, while aslo giving a chance to Uzoho and Ikechukwu Ezenwa, but the problem in the goalkeeper department is alway obvious.

Rohr is now looking for a lasting solution, and Maduka seems to be attracting his attention.

“My aim is to improve all the departments in the team. The most important ones are the goalkeeper and then the goal scorer, they are already two challenges now, we’ve been working on it for a long time now,” Rohr told Sports Extra.

“We knew the problem in the goalkeeping department before the AFCON, and that it could be a big problem at the AFCON.So, the bronze medal is really an achievement and we could have even gotten to the final. When you go to the history of winners of AFCON, you must be good in this position, you must be very good and I think we can be.

“So, for the goalkeeper position, we have Maduka Okoye, who plays for Dusseldorf; he will be a good one (keeper), I think.”

19-year-old Okoye has a dual citizenship and is eligible to play for either Germany or Nigeria.

He was invited to the U-23 national side for an Olympics qualifier earlier in the year but club commitments held him back.

Good move

However, I fear for his lack of experience against more formidable opposition. When I remember the blunders of Uzoho and Akpeyi, i am reminded of the fact that GKs playing in lower leagues may just be disasters waiting to happen.

But if we must stick to Maduka (again, not a bad move), I feel we must rid Alloy Agu of his Job and find a more capable GK trainer. Someone who can make diamonds out of rough gemstones. That person is certainly not Alloy Agu. The man is bereft of Ideas.

Maxcollins042:
The VC of the University of Ibadan must be somewhere now muttering under his breath.

But on a serious note what are the criteria employed at arriving at this ranking?

I think its based on strictly academic output

However, other things like teaching and research facilities, hostel facilities, enrolment as well as graduation rates were probably not taken into consideration because I don't see any reason why any outdated Federal University should be in the top 50 in Africa. Please note that I am UNILAG graduate and even did my MSc in UNILAG but I will take covenant over any other Fed Universities anytime, anyday

Just read a very insightful article on Forbes about Women Football the world over.

Komekn, thesupernerd, theGoodjoe, Forgiveness, Chriskels, Odunayaw. What do you guys think?

Rohr should keep an eye on Arthur Okonkwo

For a guy his age, he is quite tall (6ft 5) and promising and becides, we don't really have much choices in the GK dept.

Also, what Alloy Agu had to say on our GK crisis. He seemed more particular about saving his head than giving a meaningful way forward.

https://www.nairaland.com/5320722/super-eagles-begin-search-new

I doubt Alloy is the right person for that job. People tend to heap so much blame on rohr that they forget he has to follow Alloy's recommendations

Aiteo to pay Rohr, others N2.5bn as salaries for five years

---

An indigenous oil and gas company, Aiteo Group, has concluded an agreement to pay all Nigerian national football teams coaches’ salaries for the next five years with N500m annually.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/aiteo-to-pay-rohr-others-n2-5bn-as-salaries-for-five-years/amp/

Thanks for this info bereft but insults but evidence

I had actually thought that the arrangement was for the WC 2018 alone.

The question remains. Should Rohr decide to resign, would aiteo be responsible for paying off the 1m dollars clause?

soetanoreoluwa:
He was part of first team when he was on loan... With goals and assists.

Funny thing is that he was unveil today and start training today.. He might likely play in their Pre season friendly bfr this week runs out.

Thanks for the info bro. I appreciate

chozzy:

Wow .... Ernest Ndukwe, a very brilliant man!
Former Chairman of NCC during OBJ

Omobolaji Johnson, another brilliant woman, former GEJ's
minister of Communications.

MTN get sharp eyes, I swear!

Now I have nothing against the afore mentioned new directors and chairman.

But where did that former civil servant (NCC head) get the money to buy such majority shares to Chair MTN.

Could it be stolen? Even for that former minister?

So it could be that they stole our wealth to buy a telecoms company that they used to oversee.

Kangaroo nation if true

do4luv14:
guy no be NFF dey pay our coach salary,
and am not telling you, goan find out yourself MBOK

Why should I find out?

NFF hired and discuss contracts with him.

Therefore they are directly or indirectly responsible for how much he receives.

And yes, whether now or in the past, they are chronic debtors.

BARAJ92:
I hate all this praises attached to Victor Moses, if Sunday MBA did not score against cote d'Ivoire, we won't have win the goal same as the goals of Emenike

The truth is it will be unfair unfair to single out any player from the 2013 team

They all contributes in one way or the other except for Joseph Yobo

He was minus one in that tourney and had to be benched. Even Fegor Ogude; one of the foremost carpenters of the Super Eagles

soetanoreoluwa:
22 million pounds!!! Done deal.

Congrats Demola!

Nice one

Hope he plays in the first team regularly

do4luv14:
you sure say nah NFF dey pay the coach salary?

Better not to talk what you know nothing about ok

Are you also sure of who pays the coach salary?

Who hired him? NFF or NNPC?

You shouldn't also talk about what you don't know? OK?

lexyman:
for the fact that ROHR is working with the NFF is not a small man ... he owns so many big hotels in France,and some african countries ...he has built a successful business for himself, and he is comfortable ... that is why he doesn't run after NFF for money ... for hi to have attained this level , there will be some level of maturity and intelligence in his dealings .... he deserves some accolades just that he is too conservative ... and made the eagles to lose the glamour that comes with our style of play ..now we play like the Chelsea under Mourinho ...Purely negative football ...sad part ..

The fact that Rohr doesn't really depend on NFF for salary is one of the main reasons they are reluctant to fire him. NFF are chronic onigbese people. However, I feel Rohr is one of the best coaches we have had in a long time and we are lucky to have him

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Dele Bashiru has joined Watford!

Nice move.

komekn:
What you should do is look at how much money Brighton invested in players recruitment. Thier main and only of striker of significance was 35 year old Glenn Murray.

There were many championship sides that invested more than Brighton. In effect what Chris did over 5 years bringing them from the lower division to the EPL and kept them in the EPL with no money was near miraculous.

The set up in Brighton is not what you think there is a lot more too it than you can imagine.

Okay. Thanks for the info

Didn't k ow this before

This is what a Nairalander had yo say about Uzoho's age and his looks

Maybe to much shots from angry players has affected his facial looks.

For me, Germany is the best country in the world. To each his own. You can't force him to accept that USA is the best country in the world. One man food is another man's poison

Bros, I feel there are better Job opportunities in the US compared to Germany for immigrants. I may be wrong ooo but based on peoples posts on Nairaland in the past aha

Ndidi - Leicester
Iwobi - Arsenal

4 premier league midfielders, Am I dreaming??!

Rohrs tactical acumen should come into play in order to manage these boys and get the best from them

ChrisKels:
Vincent Enyeama training with Dijon in a view to signing with them for the upcoming 2019/20 ligue1 season.


If Cameroun could bring back Kameni, even though dey have top quality young keepers in Ondoa and Onana, then...

Good news for him bit for how long will we depend on people like Enyeama. While I welcome his inclusion into our team, the scouting efforts for good, backup GKs shouldn't stop

komekn:
I can assure you that is 100% CORRECT in general.

Apart from Chris Houghton, Darren Brown and maybe Klopp i can not vouch for any other manager.

For example Alex Ferguson son is agent, so are the brothers of Guardiola, David Moyes, etc, etc

Chris Houghton almost led his tram to relegation last season and got fired
