Finally….. What i really wanted🤗

Portland Thorns acquires Nigeria SuperFalcons defender Nicole Payne, on a season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain of the Division 1 Féminine in France.

Super Falcons attacker Rasheedat Ajibade has become a centenarian at Atletico Madrid women’s team after playing her 100th game for the club today.

Atletico lost 2-0 to Barca in a Liga F clash, but Ajibade was celebrated for achieving the milestone of representing the club for long time.

She joined them in January 1, 2021 from Avaldnes IL of Norway and debuted five days later against Rayo Vallecano.

Rasheedat Ajibade look so exhausted in this game,

Fatigued🙄

Pls we have Cameroon to play, the Coach better bring her out before or @70 minutes to get rest..!

She has got Pace, Strength and can Finnish too.. She’s a definitely going to be a big Weapon for any team she will play for.! Racheal Kundananji

She plays for Dinamo Guadalajara.

Abeg mk Ona leave this one… As them no da look her side so, she wan use style trend! Madam we’re done with you!

I would rather talk about this one (37yrs) who would have Probably won the African Best more, but the Coach Uche Eucharia then decided to focus more on her Sexuality instead of what she offers on the field of play..!

lovewins:
Why Russia though? Italy or Mexico would have been a better option.

You guys seems to underrate this Russian League, the Pay is very good there too…To be Sincere Is way above average, I will rate them of the same level with the Belgium, Swiss, Austria Danish and Scottish League side.. Better than Turkey, Belarus, Israel etc.

Pre-Season Friendly…

Macleans Chinonyerem (24yrs) Score Again

I literally saw a lot of comments on Facebook where Cameroonian fans were complaining about meeting Nigeria in the Olympics Games Qualifier… They were like Nigeria Again😂😂😂

PDPGuy:
Do you think she’s good enough to be part of the Olympics squad? (If we qualify)

Difficult task for her, Let her settle in her new Club in Europe first then she can gradually play her way into the National Team Set up… But for now there’s no way she’s beating Ayinde, Ucheibe and Abeodun to any spot… She still have Otu, Mbadi to battle out too

To me she’s a good defensive midfielder with a good sense of anticipation of the opponent's play, marking, tackling, interceptions, passing and possess great stamina… She will definitely get better as time goes on

I like the way she attempt longer and complex passes, and also the way she starts attack after winning back the ball.,

Still Wondering how I didn’t take much notice of her game while she was still Playing in 9ja League here..

Favour Chinagorom Emmanuel (21yrs)
The former Bayelsa Queens Defensive Midfielder literally left a void in the Midfield for them moving over to Russian Side Lokomotive Moscow..

A lot of Potential and arguably a Player I’m looking forward to seeing in the SuperFalcons team in the nearest future..

Big 9

Imagine Some Nigerian Comparing Esther Onyenezide with Onyi Echegini…

One even said Onyenezide is better than Tony Payne and Echegini…. GoD😂😂😂

AkinDS:
I beg, make we talk beta and not about old news…

Lol 😂
Maybe when them no look her side from now till after WAFCON this year, them no go tell her first before she go announce her retirement from the National Team..
I don’t even think the Ovation for her is till the same.

AkinDS:
I think Nicole is actually on the right track.
Yes, she has very limited first team appearances but she is in the first team squad and trains with superstars day in day out.
That experience is invaluable. Not to mention she has made about 4 appearances now.
We all recall how long it took for Imuran to break into the Reims squad and even at that, she is still not a consistent starter for the team. Nicole will get there soon, we just have to be patient.

If you say so… Imuran case was an injury when she first got there but gradually worked her way in… Right now she’s a regular for Stade de Reims even though she tends to come from the bench at times..

As for Nicole Payne her lack of game time is very worrisome even though she trains regularly with her Club, not having game time isn’t good enough for a player with such Potentials, it’s affecting her National Team Status..!

lovewins:
First, Mal Swanson is actually 2M for 5 years and not 2.5M. This probably makes her the highest paid NWSL player at the moment. Prior to now the highest was Sanchez from Dash. Been trying to see a platform with legit info but most are speculative.

Chances are there are players in Europe like Diani who earn much better than this so that isn't being disputed. But half of those you highlighted don't earn that amount. Both Bronze and Aitana earn less than $250k yearly. Sam Kerr is reportedly the highest paid in the WSL and she earns a little above £400k so no way Russo is earning that. Much of what these ladies earn is from endorsement deals.

Diani, Katoto, Hegerberg earn more than $400k..
Aitana and Lucy Bronze is earning less that $250k isn’t something that is confirmed..

lovewins:
The highest here is still $500k yearly which is still less than what Barcelona is offering Alexia. Truth is Barcelona doesn't need her for football anymore, what they need is her brand and cult following in Spain. The ACL sadly has affected her significantly. She should take the deal in my opinion.

You need to still take note that the likes of Diani, Lieke Martens, Katoto, Ada Hegerberg, Aitana, Oshoala, Bronze, Kerr, Russo, Vivian Miedema salary isn’t publicly disclosed too, they might be earning even higher… At least all the listed players here can’t be earning below $400k yearly at minimum..

Deltamani:
❗️Barça’s latest offer to Alexia is around €600,000 for two seasons. The will of the club is to sit down and come to an understanding with the captain.

They consider that they have been generous, and are still willing to improve her current contract although they cannot meet her financial expectations (close to €1M).

NWSL salary rankings have changed already!

Mal Swanson $2.5M, Chicago Red Stars (5 years)

Deyna Castellanos $1.8M, BayFC (4 years)

Racheal Kandananjo $2M, San Francisco BayFC (5 years)

María Sánchez $1.5M, Houston Dash (4 years)

We don’t know Oshoala’s contract total, yet

If injury doesn’t play in then this Squad is definitely the best right now if the Olympic game plays in.. I had to put Experience, Versatility, Form and individual abilities of the players into the consideration and how they can help the team..

GeneralDae:
With what I see her do on Instagram, damn, this is a good one for Ghana. I like skillful players.

She’s good no doubt.. Will a lot to the Ghana Attacking game… Why wondering why their Coach didn’t include the one newly signed by Bay FC who’s a very quick and skillful winger. She will definitely play Sub role at Bay FC for sure with the Caliber of players in attack.

GeneralDae:

It’s good to have Skillful but the end product of that Player also matters a lot… Wondering why she still play in Div2 in a whole England?

AkinDS:
Why?
The US is coming with its best regiment of players, so also are the likes of Germany, England, Spain and other serious countries.
The Olympics Soccer tournament for women has no restrictions, unlike the men.

Why do you want to take some half backed players, like Flourish, Ogbonna or the green horn Jiwaku, when you have seasoned players who would add more value? You take players who can help you win, not players who are at best, benchwarmers or even cheerleaders

Maybe he thinks is just all about taking players to a Major tournament for taking sake… They forgets that Wining is also a very big Part of the game..

This is the Olympics that you go with only 18players, Why not go with your best instead of going with Players with you have affinity for them forgetting the major tournaments on ground just because you like a player..

When Asisat Oshoala Pace was really Pacing 🙄🤗

The NWSL should be able to bring back some of this pace though at most btw 60% to 70% of this…

Just normal regular player jor with Skills….

Hibernian FC are pleased to announce the loan signing of Comfort Erhabor from Barclays Super League side Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 18-year-old signs on loan until the end of the season.

A promising young goalkeeper, Erhabor has made 15 appearances for Albion's under-19s - including a start in the Nike Premier Cup final which the academy side won in October 2023 versus Tottenham Hotspur.

So far this season, Erhabor has been playing in the English FA’s U21 Professional Game Academy League - a high-performance training and playing environment that supports a dual career focus allowing Comfort to combine her football development along with an education.

Grant Scott commented on the latest addition to his squad: "We are pleased to welcome Comfort to the Club, she is a talented young goalkeeper with a lot of potential."
