Morrocco is courting Gernot Rohr

If I hadn't known better would I would wish him to go so some fools could search across Africa for someone who can keep 30 rich egos on their toes for 3 years

I hope he doesn't ooo.

I'm a supporter of such good manager albeit with better tactical acumen or a good tactical assistant

Odunayaw:
who'd think you are HATING on your borough boys?

Yea I wanted to ask the same question but I think he may have looked at it from a other standpoint

edi287:
He's part of NFF's technical committee. He got a degree in Accounting after he retired.

Thanks for the info.

elyte89:
I could remember Egypt 2006,his name was written as Mr Garba lawal on d screen ,I don't knw if u can remember

Yea, I did.

I think he had that sobriquet even since the early 2000s

My Aunty always referred to him in that manner

edi287:
I don't think you should be putting Garba Lawal in the same sentence with "indiscipline" and "lack of patriotism"
He was one of our most dedicated players.

Exactly. Garba was very dedicated

Now Obodo was a true definition of indiscipline and was caught a few times in conflict with prostitutes during his time in Udinese.

I think one of his clubs also cut him from the team due to discipline issues.

elyte89:
Garba lawal will always b d first to come to camp


Aside him been an utility player,dis is one if d reasons y coaches include him for competition,

Yea, you're right about this

Garba had a professional attitude and always played like he would die for the Super Eagles. No unnecessary showmanship, just directness

I wonder where he is now. He is a true National hero

komekn:
If you look at the way Sana, Raheem, Aguero and Gabriel play for Many city. Dribbling without end product in the modern game is simply NONSENSE FOOTBALL ENTERTAINMENT and will lead you nowhere.

We Africans love it but European football looks at it only when there is consistent continous top class outstanding END PRODUCT. Without that, it becomes unnecessary excessive noise making.

He will be very wise to stay at Villareal and learn and develop more. It's better to improve and create consistency and long term career progression than short term gains that may not enhance his career.

In summary, what Komekn has been trying to telling Chukwueze fan boys (which is virtually every Nigerian) is that unnecessary dribbling without end-product is Chukwueze's bane and the earlier he matures in his play, the better.

No team buys players for entertainment but to win games, the burden of which falls mainly on the attackers.

If he doesn't score, then a good assist would do his career a world of Good

Chukwueze, over to you!!!!

Done Deal : Southampton Sign Highly-Rated Nigerian Striker From Anderlecht
Through a statement on their official website, Premier League side Southampton have announced the signing of Nigerian striker Kazeem Olaigbe.

The 2003-born player ended his association with Belgian giants Anderlecht after agreeing a scholarship with The Saints.


Olaigbe is considered one of the hottest young prospects in Belgium and the dual-eligible youngster has caps for the country's U15 and U16 national teams.

He was named Most Valuable Player of the International Youth Tournament 2016, having starred as Anderlecht reached the final where they lost to Tottenham Hotspur.


Southampton have handed Olaigbe and twelve teenagers two-year scholarships as part of their new intake of Academy scholars.

He will be hoping to make a name for himself in the upcoming season at Southampton U18s.

Nice one

Odunayaw:
all this bloggers creating big decisions for themselves

Just imagine

breezy147:
What is he learning in Villarreal? He has spent a full season an still does no know how to properly cross into the 18 box.

I say move if the opportunity comes. He is the exact tool coaches like klopps or Guardiola need to turn into a Messi-like monster.

To play under such coaches you just mentioned, you need to show consistency. They ate bidding their time especially with African talents who could be one-season wonders.

If he does better in the new season, I see no reason why he won't catch the eyes of such coaches

forgiveness:
Rohr took Gabon to AFCON quarter finals. Rohr qualified Niger for the AFCON.

Stop giving false informations.

Thanks for this price of info.

Some of us wouldn't have known that Rohr did quite well with teams of such lowly calibre

Mickael2:
And you are one of the enlightened few right?

Its funny how he always says that most fans know nothing yet he exonerates himself from it.

He can hardly have a discussion without insulting or abusing the other party

It was an apt question you asked him

Trust him to come after me with insults or bland tags. He never disappoints

Danielnino00:
Nigeria is too big a football nation to lack strikers... when Emenike retired we said the same thing that he will be missed...then Iheanacho and Ighalo stepped up.

I don't get why some of u aren't keen on us trying out new strikers!!

You think if we had decided to go and beg Emenike to come back in 2014, Ighalo and Iheanacho would have gotten their chance to impress? hell no!

Gbam.

Our young ones will step up simple

Ighalo retiring is good news to me. If he likes let him live like a recluse

ChrisKels:
While our boys were busy going on a strike and fighting for money in an important tourney, this is what Algeria was found doing;


Bahgdad Bouhneja: “We play for Algeria, we don't play for money, we don't play for fame. When I enter the stadium(in the fennecs shirt), I only play for Algeria, I have nothing else I play for”.

I said that this money thing distracted our boys in the early stages

Its a pity to think that majority even earn way more than the money they were fighting for

Danielnino00:
Do we have a reliable striker?

Let me remind you that Ighalo himself wasn't reliable in the national team even when he was in form at Watford .He lost his starting shirt to a younger and untested Iheanacho .Iheanacho rose to the occasion until he lost form...Ighalo was recalled to replace Iheanacho...
We have Osimhen, Odey and Awoniyi...another prolific striker may emerge this season,u never know..

so to answer your question, we don't know if we have a reliable striker (as per national team form) until they are given the same kind of opportunity Iheanacho and Ighalo got ..

You see what kills our football is over dependence on players that are not even consistent. We over depended on Mikel till he flopped at AFCON

I will take any of these young guys anytime

Ighalo should jejely retire. Its not by force!!!

ChrisKels:
If I slap that ur yeye face u go stop laffin by force.

Lol bro Omeruo and Ekong na hypertension CBs abeg. Both are too erratic. Balo is better than both, and Rohr must be mad to think of discarding him

Balo was worse than both in this AFCON

He was in Brighton and he couldn't even stake a claim to the first team.

Current form is what a manager looks at and not past glory.

As bad as you may think Ekong and Omeruo were, they weren't as poor as Balogun in the just concluded season

sheyishemba:
lolzzz I jex dey happy for those boys niii when these dude are performing no one is talking about them rather they are talking about nacho wey hit bar.... aribo also scored for rangers too .. am really keened of this eze dude he also had an assist yesterday Amos sef I dey watch am too (awon omo ologo 6G)

Word bro

You get eyes.

Me, I no go waste time and data on top players wey don decide to destroy their careers by themselves

andrew444:
Those ones don't need to announce o ,but they won't call those ones anymore

Sure banker

Even Rohr had hinted at it

These are the real calamity players of the team

TheSuperNerd:
Salif Sane reached the final with Senegal. Why wasn't he considered? What about Mandi of Algeria?

Truth is Omeruo outshone all these guys. Even Koulibaly made it based on his fame. He had to defend against Forwards from Benin, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya with only Algeria and Tunisia providing real tests while Omeruo had to battle against Forwards from Cameroun, Guinea, Burundi (with Fiston Razak- Qualifiers 2nd top scorer), South Africa, Algeria and Tunisia... All tough tests. He didn't feature against Madagascar.

In games Omeruo featured, we registered 3 clean sheets. That's the clean sheet angle.

Omeruo was never beaten man for man throughout the tourney. Koulibaly was. Mandi was. Even Awaziem held same stat till the semis. But Omeuro finished with this stat intact despite the quality he faced unlike Koulibaly.

You raised some good points

However, the Judges feel appearing in the final is more important. I guess they based their choices on this

I am sure that if Ighalo hadn't scored the highest number of goals, he might have never been considered

TheSuperNerd:
Omeruo has a stat of being one CB who was not dribbled past through out this Afcon. He merits a place.

That isn't enough if it doesn't translate to a clean sheet or at least a place in the final

komekn:
If we are to look at things without bias,our defenders were poor.

Considering where Ekong and Omeruo play they were both making school boy errors.

Thankfully they already have clubs in better leagues if not they would be still stuck in Turkey.

The only players that performed above average for me where IGHALO, ETEBO, NDIDI and AINA.

Yes, they had a poor tourney or at best an average tournament. I sugar coated it because I don't want to engage in arguments with anyone

We used to think Defence was our strongest suit but it seems there is hardly any metric where our team is above average.

Rohr needs to step up

do4luv14:
you still dey here dey hala wrong
forgeting that it was yesterday history thats shaping todays events

go find the difference btw both policy, den make you comme again or else, nah jump am pass

Go and do this yourself

If you have access to internet to quote me, you could as well google this to educate yourself about what I am saying.

Is it the colonialist that is still responsible for widespread corruption in Africa? Still keep on hanging to the past.

The bias is the same everywhere. Deny it or not

elyte89:
And we re back to anoda season again where we celebrate balls hitting bars,dribbles,assist and 2goals in a season will b praised like someone scoring in every single match in a season

Its like you already know how some people here think.

Nacho fan association

TheSuperNerd:
Now this looks more like it. The Algerian keeper in goal not El Shennawy. But I feel Omeruo merits a place still.

They wouldn't give omeryo a place and it makes sense.

We conceded a goal in wvry match from the game against Madagascar till the Semifinal. This didn't exactly help the case of any Nigerian CB

do4luv14:
safarigirl is telling you the undiluted truth, you are busying saying wrong

even the policy of Assimilation, and indirect rule are both scams, its those policy thats causing maojrity of the problems bedviling us, especially that indirect rule


unlike the french which came with a very good policy of association

go find out what the policy is all about then you will understand what safarigirl is saying

Wrong

You are busy quoting history and I am telling you what is applicable NOW and not YESTERDAY

Wrong again

Danielnino00:
Ajayi is officially a West Brom player.
will wear the no.6 jersey

Nice move

No resting on oars.

His aim should be to rub shoulders with the best in the top flight by next year

Na wa ooo

This guy looks like he his in his middle 20s but I know that he may actually be 16 if he was born in France that is

Cc Andrew444, BascoVanVeli, Icon4s

Na was oo

safarigirl:
I repeat, not in France.

As far as the French are concerned, everyone is even and you don't have to break your back to be chosen as a black person, over a white person.

That is why their team has a majority black presence, or you think they can't find caucasians to fill the black roles?

They do

Those guys are just way better than their white compatriots

Tell me which white person in the whole of France will displace Pogba, Umtiti, Mbappe et al

sontoly:
Am a bit I confused here, you just agreed to a person in contradiction to what you are saying. komekn's point is in support of safarigirl's opinion that blacks in England are not easily assimilated than those in France. And this is a known fact.

Read the post he quoted first.

safarigirl:
it is not the same everywhere. This one is a lie.

The terms are not as difficult for an African immigrant to France.

You think a Chinese in Nigeria has to put in three times the effort of an average Nigerian to get a job here?

Yes. It is quite unfair.

The Chinese don't have to do this. But for African immigrants (or negros), we have to show that we are undebatably better than the citizens of those countries

I am living personification of that observation in the UK in the last decade or more. Everywhere l have ever been contracted or employed I have always been the most qualified Academically, Professionally and Experentially.

Gbam. My point exactly
