Bursaspor’s €1m Bid For Troost-Ekong Rejected By Gent Despite Agreeing Three Year Deal With The Nigerian

https://i1.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/6D7F63D5-9609-4A33-BC72-FB12CAC2AC1A-60774-00000EEDF6A6B103.jpeg


The transfer of Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong is still hanging in the balance as Bursaspor are yet to agree on a fee for his transfer with his team Gent.

Bursaspor have agreed a three year deal with the 23 year old defender but an agreement between both clubs is still far off as Gent refused Bursaspor’s first bid of €1m as exclusively revealed by this portal.

Contrary to reports in the Turkish media which says a fee has been agreed between both teams for his transfer,informed sources revealed that both teams are still some ways apart in their valuation of the player.

”Talks are ongoing but no fee has been agreed for his transfer yet. Hopefully soon but for now Bursaspor opening offer of €1m was rejected by Gent, but they are talking and hopefully a compromise will be reached.

”Gent are demanding a fee close to 5 million euros, which many believed will definitely be lowered based on talks with Bursaspor but Gent are also running the risk of losing him for free next summer. I believe the move will be done in few days time”. He said.

good, I jst don't get what's in turkey that make our players to b running there?

Icon4s:
Taribo played for the national team up till 2005 while Shittu started playing in 2002. So they can be judged under the same era.

what about our " INFANT TERRIBLE " of the 80s or is it 90s

ETIM ESIM, not forgetting, our prince of Monaco, JONATHAN AKPOBORIE

excanny:
Yes, it was a payback for how Man U is frustrating from getting De Gea, now we have to settle for this useless Lukaku.

never say never, JOSE can make LUKAKU a star, jst watch,

[quote author=rugipp post=58158795][/quote]you called man.u during sur ALEX time a small club, chaiii ogbeni repent abeg

Icon4s:
Ifeanyi Udeze was the Transition between Babayaro and Taye Taiwo.

His career suffered a blow with his multiple injuries and lose of his Dad.

Celestine Babayaro. Why he didn't make my list is because he played in both the 90s and 2000s era. Points with which to judge him in the 90s against Iroha was not enough and also points with which to compare him with Taye Taiwo in the 2000s were not enough to rate him above Taiwo.

yea, you are right no thanks to poak salonica, in the way they handle his injuries,

UDEZE is the go to guy when on form, that's y I calls him sweeper

chrisooblog:
nice one boss taking us down memory lane now down to business.

your generation of 80s and 90s super eagles best XI is spot on.

for the 2000s i would go for martins, utaka, aghahowa, danny shittu to replace yakubu, osaze, taribo west and tijani babangida

for 2010 till present i would replace musa with sunday mba. sadly i would retain your backline. so we can't find anyone better than elderson?shout out to ambrose was really good as a makeshift right back. think balogun and ndidi will soon overtake oboabona and onazi respectively.

my composite greatest super eagles from all the generations mentioned would be as follows

vincent enyeama
ben iroha
chidi odiah
uche okechukwu
stephen keshi
sunday oliseh
john obi mikel
jay jay okocha
finidi george
segun odegbami
rashidi yekini


bench: rufai, taribo west, yobo, chidi nwanu, celestine babayaro, muda lawal, mutiu adepoju, sam okwaraji, amokachi, kanu, martins, amunike, victor moses

formation: 4-3-3

coach: westerhof

y nobody remember sweeper, IFEANYI UDEZE, the guy belongs to the 2000s set

Before I could consider MESSI great he had to leave barca and replicated his barca form for anoda clubside in anoda country


simple

Hmmm, can I appk for any available SSCE jobs?

komekn:
In the 2010 to date list I would have had Osaze (although not present continous) add to that list I would have Obagoal.

In the 2000-2009 I would have the very dependable Danny Shittu in that list.

yea SHITTU, and IFEANYI UDEZE

TheGoodJoe:
Turkey is a good ground to propel a player. A lot of players make their leaps from Turkey. Good move for me.

are you saying his present club is not a good club enuf to make the leap from

William Troost-Ekong Close In On Move To Bursaspor After Agreeing Personal Terms – Reports

https://i1.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/6D7F63D5-9609-4A33-BC72-FB12CAC2AC1A-60774-00000EEDF6A6B103.jpeg

According to reports reaching the editorial desk of Owngoalnigeria.com Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong has agreed personal terms with Turkish side Bursaspor.

Sportiv reports that the 23 year old is one of the prime target of new coach of Bursaspor Paul Le Guen, and with 12 months left to run on his deal with Gent of Belgium there’s every possibility of the move happening.

Although the Turkish side are yet to reach an agreement with Gent over his transfer, they have met with his representatives who have now open talks with Gent over his move.

Gent on their part have been on a signing spree with reports having it that a defender has been signed already to make up for the possible departure of Troost-Ekong, who played the last six months of last season at the club after an 18 months loan spell with FK Haugesund of Norway.

Last night he fuelled rumours of his impending departure from Gent when he posted pictures of himself watching a game of his former loan side Haugesund, while the rest of his teammates are sweating it out in Gent’s pre season camp.

Super Eagles Star Peter Utaka Back Among The Goals For FC Tokyo

https://allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/45260Utaka.jpg

Out-of-favour Nigeria international Peter Utaka returned to scoring ways but could not prevent his side FC Tokyo from losing 3-1 to Cerezo Osaka on game week seventeen in the J League on Sunday, July 2.

The 33-year-old netted his first goal in the Japanese top flight since April 1 when he opened the scoring at the KINCHO Stadium (Ōsaka) after 21 minutes.

Before the deadlock was broken, Utaka came closest with a long range volley, and few minutes later he tapped in from close range after Nagai had robbed the last line of defense.

His other goals this season were against Kawasaki Front, Sagan Tosu, Vegalta Sendai and Omiya Ardija.

FC Tokyo is Peter Utaka's sixth club in Asia following spells with Dalian Aerbin, Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shenxin, Shimizu S-Pulse and Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

Ajegunle To Stardom: The rise of Nigerian football stars from a dreadful slumb


Several Nigerian football stars including Samson Siasia, Taribo West, Emmanuel Amuneke, Ikpe Ekong, Brown Ideye and current highest paid African player Odion Ighalo all grew up from the 'dreadful ghettos' of Ajegunle in Lagos.

AJ, as the small 'city' is proudly called by residents, is a place elite Nigerians regard to be a den of robbers, hoodlums, prostitutes and people with all forms of social vices. Most people who have never been to this environment also believe it is a home to the extremely poorest. But it turned out to be the starting point for most household names in Nigerian football and music.

Location of Ajegunle

Ajegunle is Yoruba word which is broken down as Aje gunle meaning a place where riches dwell. In other words, a land with raw and untapped treasures (talents).The neighbourhood is located in the heart of Lagos state, Nigeria in Ajeromi-Ifelodun local government area.

It is bordered on the west by Apapa Wharf and Tincan, two of Nigeria's biggest sea ports, through which over 70 percent of imported goods come into the country.

The Maracana stadium in Ajegunle

This is the main pitch where all the football stars from Ajegunle began their career. It was founded in 1979 by some youths who decided to clear the massive bush to play football.

The first football club there was named Marine Dynamos. A top member of the Maracana All Stars football team Felix Ganagana who also had a stint in France disclosed how they came about the name 'Maracana'."We used to play for Marine Dynamos in 1979 and used to train and play matches inside the Tolu Complex," he started."But when Governor Lateef Jakande won the election at that time, he promised free education and the school compound was to be rebuilt, so we had to look for a place to continue with our game."We cleared this pitch in October and then started playing here by November 1979."Asked why the place was named Maracana, Ganagana revealed that the name was inspired by the famous Maracana Stadium in Brazil.

"I remember at that time, we had a meeting and one of the members of the team Tata Dickson said this place is wide, let us name it after the Maracana stadium in Brazil. We all agreed and this is what we have now."

Ajegunle, the breeding ground for Nigeria's national teams

The people there are soccer-crazy. From the little child to the aged, both male and female have an unbelievable passion for the game.Football competitions at every level from the under 8s, 10s, 13s, 17s, 20s and to other age levels are played day-in-day-out in the city.

Surrounding the famous Maracana Stadium is the Tolu Complex which is said to contain a massive 14 Secondary Schools and 18 Primary Schools, you dare not imagine how the field will look-like after school hours.

Most of the boys resume to the famous pitch as soon as their school closing bell rings.

Future stars without any standard stadium

"We have written series of letters to the Lagos state government," coach Michael Adewale Adebayo began.

"We know Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has good plans for us and in fact we are working on something at the moment."We are working in collaboration with the Senior Special Assistant to the President Abike Oluwatoyin Dabiri-Erewa who is getting in touch with the Lagos state governor on our behalf as regards the development of this environment," he added.

Coach Adewale Adebayo who is also the president of the Maracana All Stars football team also appealed to the government to look inwards and also fulfill its promises to the people."I want to appeal that government of the day should come to our rescue. Having a place like this which chunks-out players day-in-day-out, we plead that the government give us a stadium here."To be specific, I believe Governor Ambode will do it, he has told us not once, not twice, I am certain we will have a good stadium.Elders of the community also believe that more stars will rise from the area who will bring glory to the nation.Meanwhile, check out the top stories from last week in our weekly compilation of THE SCOOP.

jaymejate:
THIS GUY is .... i'm sorry to say, is a fool.
you guys have totally forgotten that, the pastors are human being and not has perfect as Jesus u know.
they too always look for a way to get enlightened. so you too you are finding enlightenment that's why you're there.
teachings can never be perfect.
you are to take the ones that is useful to you and throw away the ones that are not.

the ministry of people is different. some is to teach holiness, some to teach on how to give, some is prosperity e.t.c.

and moreover, they didn't force you to give or did they point gun at you to give?
if they are not giving you what you want to hear, go to another place and stop making people feel like the church is diff.

MINISTRY OF EVERYONE IS DIFF.

you judging them, check Romans 2; 1-3

thank you bro, I jst don't know what some people thing those days,

and for a fact I can say Neva , I repeat Neva, I hav heard or see of our members paying for gate fee, for DEC31s,

further more as you rightly pointed out its, not by force to give,

on him saying the church is all about money, he is 100% ignorant of what he was saying, I wud have said more, but no need cause hw didn't know what he is saying

BALO is not a flop, he had always had problems since leaving inter Malian,

his problem is all about man management, go and ask JOSE,

I was NT surprised seeing him shine in France, cos BALO is a top striker anytime, anyday,
