well I wouldn't blame Ferguson too much on this because he went to extremes even almost breaking the law to sign Mikel. It was Mikel's reps backed by chelsea hierarchy that made john spurn Sir Alex's advances and I wouldn't have blamed the scot to washed his hands of the deal as bad market

TheGoodJoe:
Mikel having or not having a problem with it is not the point. Mikel made a professional sacrifice but the World of football had a huge loss in that sacrifice too.

Until today we are yet to see a midfielder with such Grace and the destruction was huge.

Chelsea did not need him. Mourinho just wanted to destroy the union with Alex Ferguson, hoping to gain and edge. His selfishness destroyed a big impact in football.

Is that Safarigirl I see there

Safari who? She fine reach this babe? Abeg!

TheSuperNerd:
1. Anayo Iwuala of Enyimba. Pacy Winger.

2. Anayo with Gernot Rohr.

Subzero047:
Koulibaly is the best defender in the world at the moment (yes better than Dias) and it's a shame he is not pushing to move to a bigger club because he would not be recognized as that if he doesn't win trophies

ChrisKels:
You don't know how much I hate to be reminded that this man is the coach of the super eagles. He is the reason I'm rapidly losing interest in the super eagles

Subzero047:
It seems somebody is intent on getting him to 100 games

chucs:
Rohr is very rigid and prepredictable so I wont be surprised if such happens.

You just had to double up the "Pre" to emphasize his predictability.

TheSuperNerd:
Maduka Okoye kept goal for all 90 as his side Sparta Rotterdam secured a 1-1 away draw in the Dutch Eredivisie.

His Eredivisie league stats currently stand as:

⏺️21 league games played (all starts)
⏺️29 goals conceeded.
⏺️47 saves made.
⏺️7 clean sheets.

Okoye and Sparta sits 12th in the Eredivisie.

Decent Job from Okoye. The Super Eagles' "German" Wall.

Dayo Ajoge played for then Kwara star and Gabros of Newi before travelled to UK.

We are together in University of Ilorin with ex polish international Emma Olisadebe,Yemi Akinyanju of Kwara united,Niyi Ogunlana of Kwara star,Olumide Adewunmi of Kwara united,Akeem Lawal of plateau united,and also ex super eagles Seyi Olofinjana who then was a student of Lautech but played for Kwara united.

This was a period you see university students playing in NPFL and aforementioned players represented Nigeria at different world university games.

How I wish university games is revive cos players like Andrew Uwe(OAU),Adeolu Adekola(unilag),Nosa Osadolor(unilag)Impowosa Omoregie((unilag)James Jigbale(OAU),Olaolu Ashaolu(Unilorin),Edith Agoye(UI),Tunde Sanni(OAU),Willy Opera, etc were discovered playing university games.

The veteran wingers Segun Odegbam,Adokiye Aimesemeka and Felix Owolabi were products of tertiary school games.

Emma Olisadebe and Seyi Olofinjana were great beneficial of university games.

CC BascoVanVeli, Icon4s....pls is there any university students in present NPFL?

Abbey George , from Port vale, for our worldcup, abi you Don forget

Kog45:
Dayo Ajoge a good friend and semi professional league player in England played for Nigeria against Jamaica in unity cup in London 2004.

Karlovych:
A long time ago players like the Sodje's and George Abbey were in English division 3

Hmmmm! Still a level above the 4th.

Subzero047:
We invited Otabor from Wigan, don't you remember?

Subzero047:
Ghana are living Nigeria's past life

Our past you say? When have we ever invited a player from the 4th tier of English football or elsewhere for that matter?

TheSuperNerd:
Following Sadiq's withdrawal...

Official: Anayo Iwuala of Enyimba replaces SADIQ Umar in the main List.

jihday:
for now, only the French first and second division are doing that and this will affect many African countries including Benin

But, that's unfair.

drDoom3:
The problem is outside Europe. European players who play in Europe under the EU are easily monitored, with less restrictions. Going outside Europe is a different ball game.

wayodude:
His goals per minutes when given the opportunity to play has been more than sufficient currency to buy that right with change..

and when that right isn't given in Kelechi's case his output suffers! It is a vicious cycle really and I think he ought to leave the club if he wants to realise his potential, whatever that might be.

wayodude:
From my observation Kelechi is a confidence player. The deterioration of his ability when he is lacking in confidence is more significant than for most other players. To build confidence though you need a good run in the team, not 10 mins this week 20 mins 2 weeks later etc. In 20 (TWENTY) of those 87 games you mentioned he had 10minutes or less on the pitch!! Transfermrkt*

He has never been given a proper run in any team in his career. That being said his goals per minute in all competitions overall so far in his career is indicative that he has something special. He needs to move to a club where he is the main man, starting week in week out over a season THEN we will be in a better position to pass judgement.

Look at Timo Werner and how much support he's getting to get firing. How many minutes did Salah and Lukaku get at Chelsea before they were offloaded? Those are excellent examples of what happens when a player is not given genuine chance and support before being labelled a 'mouse'.

Olulong:
I hope this is not true tho

Subzero047:
It is not just about the Covid but the amount of days they will stay in isolation upon returning to their respective countries

drDoom3:
Latest news is that all EPL, Ligue 1, Serie A, Bundesliga, and La Liga Naija players will be withheld by their clubs.

Iwobi, Chukwueze, Osimhen, Iheanacho, etc to miss out on Benin and Lesotho games.

kellycute:
your accent make sense Sha. Abi na because you stayed for USA for years before you relocate to Naija? E get the way you pronounce "unnecessary" in your previous commentary on enyimba's match. I saw the video. You pronounced it like American.. "unnece..sa.ry"lol. E make sense

Nah! He sounds more British with his glottals.

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly, his presence at the back gives Napoli that steel in defence. The foundation upon which they can nick some vital wins. I saw today's victory coming at Milan. I am glad because I want Osimhen and Napoli in the UCL next season.

TheSuperNerd:
Samuel Kalu is likely to miss the AfconQ games vs Benin and Lesotho if he doesn't recover in time from the injury he picked up early in his team's Ligue 1 win.


The standby list of players include: Paul Onuachu, Henry Onyekuru, Peter Olayinka, Michael Olise (Passport process), and Terem Moffi.

One of these guys will be called up to the main list as Kalu's replacement.


Note: Ofcos Akpeyi and Adeleke are also on the standby list too but as GKs, we know they won't be called up.

Don't bother yourself. Onuachu to the rescue. He never makes the team's list but something happens and then you'd see him to show up to the party.
