October 25, 2019053

Facebook Twitter
Adebayo Adeleye once again enhanced his chances of gatecrashing the Super Eagles squad for the AFCON 2021 Qualifiers games next month against Benin Republic and Lesotho respectively, Owngoalnigeria.com reports.

Loading...
The 19 year old posted another clean sheet yesterday as his team Hapoel Katamon move to second position in the Israeli second division with a 1-0 win away from home against Hapoel Umm al-Fahm.

Adeleye now has four clean sheets in ten league games this season and many believe he is the best goalkeeper prospect in Israel at the moment judging by how he rose through the ranks to the first team in just six months.

A former goalkeeper with the U17 team of Nigeria, he is among the players coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr is considering to call up to his squad to ease the goalkeepers crisis the team is facing due to the injury picked up by first choice goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.

Uzoho will be out for six months and Rohr now has just Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Maduka Okoye to pick as his options in goal as he appears to have shut the door on Daniel Akpeyi despite his recent fine form in the Premier South Africa League ( PSL) for Kaizer Chiefs.

Eartquake1:
How is his finishing?

It's decent...

Eartquake1:
His strengths are running and dribbling,


that are not the primary qualities of a striker

He strikes the ball well and makes good runs off the ball.
Qualities of a striker.

Eartquake1:
Lookman being played as a striker

Mtweew

He's played there before. Has the tools to make a good CF.

Osimhen valued at 48m Euros SPORTS
Published 11 hours ago on October 18, 2019
By Correspondents 



RELATED TOPICS: Victor Osimhen is “the sensation of the moment” in the French Ligue 1 and this could well see his club Lille sell him for a staggering 48 million Euros or more, according to a top commentator.

Osimhen reportedly cost Lille 12 million Euros when he switched in the summer from Belgian club Sporting Charleroi.

A total of eight goals in all competitions including the UEFA Champions League could now see the striker make a big money move soon.

“The club (Lille) are already rubbing their hands because if he continues like this, the clubs will stand in line for him at the end of the season,” French football expert Sirik Geffray told Sporza.
“You know how English clubs are, for example. Then his price of 12 million Euros could be three or four times.”

He added: “He is the sensation of the moment .
“A striker who has not yet turned 21 and who did not have to struggle when he made the switch from Belgium to France, where he was expected to first learn the ropes.

“The talk now is that he is already ready for a step higher because he is already a finished article.”

Leading Spanish sports newspaper AS have already reported that Osimhen tops FC Barcelona shopping list as a replacement for Luis Suarez.

It hasn't even been half a season. Let's all take a deep breath.
Sha dude is quite humble and works hard so the plaudits won't get to his head.

fabyom:
Isaac Success should be invited. He is strong and can also dribble.
I do also think both him and Etebo should return to Spain and Nacho to France.
We need both of them urgently in this current set up.
We have lost Musa Yahaya. We cannot allow Success and Nacho to waste.
For me Onachu does not fit our system. We need a very mobile forward like Success and Nacho!

Well played Super Eagles!
I was just imagining, what might have happened, having both Kalu and Etebo in this game.

Forget Issac Success. He's an average finisher even on top form.

Why I Called Up Viv Solomon-Otabor As Replacement For Kalu Ahead Of Ejuke, Okereke – Rohr Explains
October 12, 20190236



Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr who is under-fire by the media for calling up CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria winger Viv Solomon-Otabor as replacement for ‎injured Samuel Kalu has explained the reason behind his decision.


The call up to Solomon-Otabor came as a surprise to many considering that the former Birmingham City teenager hasn’t done as much as other Nigerian players plying their trade in leagues higher than that of Bulgaria, Where Solomon-Otabor plays.

Defending his choice in a chat with Owngoalnigeria.com, the Franco-German coach said Solomon-Otabor will surprise many if he gets to play against Brazil and that he called him up as replacement for Kalu because they play same position.

He said he monitored the player for a year before deciding to call him up when the opportunity came following the withdrawal of Kalu. Rohr advised Club Brugge David Okereke and Heerenveen Chidera Ejuke to continue with their impressive form as he will call them up soonest.

” I like what I saw in him when I watched him. He is like Kalu on the wings and we have been monitoring him for some time now. The other players like Okereke, Ejuke will get their chance soon. Solomon got the nod because the vacancy is for a winger. Players doing well need to continue working hard”, the coach explained.

However he tries to spin this - calling up Otabor makes no sense.

Is he saying he sees Ejuke more as a AM or what? Because as a winger, Ejuke is better than Otabor.
Sha make we dey see. I don't buy this explanation at all

elyte89:
Shey dem dis cabals in NFF re trying to frustrate dis man,so dey can bring in deir mecurial ammunike in like dey did to dennerby with danjuma?

Yep. The power tussle is getting more and more apparent.
Pinnick isn't this stupid to approve of the message those guys posted on Twitter

E don start...Pinnick showing us the clown in him.
There's clearly a power tussle going on.

NFF explains the Rohr and Dennerby issues. We all know they are lying in regards to Dennerby.

What a guy Osimhen is..

realpoacher:
I dont even understand our purpose on this thread. Or our usefulness.


Otabor this, Ebere Eze that.


Our voices, our noise here is completely and totally irrelevant in grand scheme of things.

We have been discussing here every day about moving nigeria's football forward yet nff will wake up and do complete opposite.

Isnt it obvious here that our rant equals to nothing?

Please take your Otabor rankings to nff handle and spear me intellectual reads here.

Haba

Even me i am hurt concerning his callup but obviously my feelings are inconsequential in this matter. So i keep shut

Abeg make everybody face front

This forum is about giving opinions/thoughts - irrelevant or not.
I don't think we give our views here because NFF will pick up ideas or whatever.
Let people scream about Otabor from now till 2022 if they want, they are entitled to it.

Truidstar:
The Otabor fella, was on the standby list that was unreleased by the NFF. I don't understand what all the hue and cry is all about. Like I stated before, Rohr will start with his best team and make few substitutions against Brazil, especially when the game is going well for us. Some folks preferred players would not even lace their boots on that day.

How can Otabor be on the standby list before Ejuke?
Kid hasn't done ish to justify this. Unless you're saying we are capping him for the future in case he comes good.

Otabor?? What the heck? Not ever Ejuke. This definitely wasn't Rohr doing.
Otabor is a prospect who hasn't kicked on. He's done nothing to deserve an invite.

ChrisKels:
The hype has eaten so deep into Rashford's head that he now strolls in the pitch thinking himself a super star, he has the number 10 shirt, after all.

250k a week don dey shack am. To think the guy wanted 300k.. What a comedian.

timay:
This wolves team is mad. They always like to disturb big teams. But let them see small teams Like Burnley and co, those ones hi beat them like say tomorrow no dey

They can counter big teams na why.

andrew444:
Not my Barca

He won’t bench casmeiro in zidane team

Zizou would die to have Kante.

darkelf:
Lol. Okay......

Na wa

I said what I said.

forgiveness:
Mount is an AMF but Youri Tielemans plays mostly as a CM. Can he bench Kante?

Tielemans can play as an AMF too. Can't bench Kante as he isn't as defensive

Something is lacking these days -- confidence.

Goal number 7 and 9 is what I like(d) about him. He needs to sort himself out. Still the most clinical finisher we have imo(when on form that is)

Mujtahida:
This is why I said I like players whose skills were cooked on the streets and I have decried the aridity of modern football which for me is pass, pass pass. They have educated the flair out of the game. I don't like it but this is what the game has become.

I agree Sha. The modern game has become to mechanical. Pace and power seems to be back in vogue these days so it just might suit some African countries.
Many people turned up their noses at Mane when Man United and Arsenal were interested in him back then because he wasnt technically gifted enough but look at him now..

andrew444:
Na lie ooo, i dont think chilwell is better than them, but you and that other guy insist, and yet they dont want to agree that most of their player wont start at chelsea, lol

Those 2 are built for 3 at the back. Alonso Na confirmed pipe. Him no reach Chillwell.
Emerson is decent but not better than Chilwell... Well from what I've seen Sha.

forgiveness:
Who will he bench?

Mount. He's better than RLC as well.

Mujtahida:
The point is that street football produces raw talent which is simply not just enough as far as certain aspects of the modern game is concerned.

So it's importance is waning by the day.

That edge and craftiness you get from street football will always be important.
I remember one comment Wenger made about the lack of quality strikers coming through when we were looking for a replacement for that pipe Giroud... Something along of the lines of Europe not producing wc strikers because 'they play on nice pitches'.
That edge mixed up with what you'd get from an academy from say 15 upwards is important...

andrew444:
I just dey look am

But surprisingly he is even thinking Ben chilwell will make Chelsea team ,is Alonso and Emerson not the left back there ? I am not sure chilwell is better than them

Chiwell is better than Alonso and Emerson to me Sha. I'm yet to be fully convinced by both in a 4 man defence.

chucs:
You must be a very sentimental person. You just started reeling out our young players names as if they are basically in our first 11. Aside from Man city Chelsea has the best midfield in EPL Kante,Jorginho,Kovasic,Rueben loftus Check,Mount( who by the way has been a revelation so far and has 3 goals to his name already). The only players that can try would probably be Madison,Ben Chillwell and Vardy. Chelsea are unfortunate to have lots of unfit players but that doesn't mean that Leicester has a better team and you saying otherwise is just being sentimental.

Sorry I wouldn't want to derail this thread. I rest my case.

Tielemans. Add Tielemans to that list.

mank1234:
If the best are in academy, why don't we just assemble academy boys instead of this tired old legs.

A minow (Togo) demoted us from cup competition. Another minow (Cape Verde) elimited us from plate competition at quarter final stage. Very very pathetic

Well what they all know is to blame Rohr.

Mujtahida:
Let me use your last line to press a point.

The bolded right here is where the problem of our football stems from. Street football cannot fly in this era. Football is now an intellectual exercise. That's why academies have taken over. It is not for nothing that this era is tagged the era of the coaches.

Many European greats like Puskas, Eusebio, Cruyff, etc honed their skills on the streets but as usual oyibo man will not rest and will keep refining the system. Thus from the mid 80s academies began popping up in this countries and now they are everywhere.

Even Brazil does not rely on street anymore.

Imagine going for a competition involving the intellect and just because in the past everybody brought street to the competition, you continue to do so even now while your competitors bring in people trained in academies. Omo dem go win una tire.

I like street football oo, very much. I even prefer it but the reality is that that era is gone.

I beg to differ. Street football is still very important in honing your skilled baller... Just like how most Brazilian footballers played/still play Futsal.
Normally our league teams should be doing a better job picking up these guys and polishing them up but you know what it is... They don't even have a link with our academies.

timay:
You are bringing his stats from Crewe when he was bought from MK dons to Spurs. that shows that he used to play there at the early stage of his career which is irrelevant. Someone like Ndidi used to be a defender , Mctominay of Man U used to be a striker, most players have probably played some different positions in the early start of their careers as teenagers. you said he has scored 50 goals at Spurs. the question is , at what position?

Stop bringing screenshot of half truth. thank you.

What half truths?? He started as a CM at Spuds, played as a LM then AM. You said he never played as a CM which is wrong.

seankafor:
are you blaming poch or stingy levy that refuses to let troubled eriksen and vertonghen leave and also refuses to release funds for transfer?
Cut poch some crap..dude is a gem irrespective of whatever

They got Ndombele and Lo Celso. Their transfer window was solid.
Poch just no Wan dey Spuds anymore.
