Juventus Debutant Defender Gozzi Iweru Interested In Nigerian Football, Could Switch Allegiance From Italy

Nice one. We should move for him now.

darkelf:
In as much as Vic Moses was excellent for us, it was a team effort at the end. Where do you put Sunday mba whose crucial goals in the quarter-final and final helped us win.

I don't want to believe any player is indispensable or bigger than the team. We can't go cap in hand begging every player that quits the team. Its bot good for our image and pride as a footballing nation. That's why I am also not keen on Tammy

In every teams, there must be a top player. We can't deny that simple fact.

XhosaNostra:
No, that'll never be me, I'm too vain for catfights

Hehehehehehe!

XhosaNostra:
I don't think that's South Africa, but it's embarrassing nonetheless.

Fighting at work? Wow. They both deserve to be fired so they can blame "the man" or "discrimination" for their own actions.

Na you bi dat?

TruthinAction:
So if I my wife delivers a baby in the US, then my child is not a Nigerian by birth? I don't get it. So the kids of all those who were born abroad are not Nigerians by birth. I think the phrase by birth should be clearly defined. To mean, it should be if your parents are Nigerian, then you are a Nigerian by birth. Otherwise all Nigerians is diaspora must come home to deliver their babies if they have Presidential ambition. Sounds very stupid.

Oga! Citizenship is not the bone of contention but the eligibility to contest for the office of the Presidency.

Even if your son is born in the moon he is a Nigerian but he can't be President of this country according to the 1999 constitution.

uzobaby:
on what grounds? ?that he has refused to be enemies with Wike or refused to do CRA'S bidding? ?

He is a mole.

uzobaby:
your faction is why APC Rivers continues drawing blood, Abe has Decided to move on even Wike and others extending hand of fellowship. ..yet you people keep on drawing blood, and causing chaos. ..how then do you expect to win...until CRA and his aides stop this attitude. .they are going no where

Abe should be excommunicated from the party.

The bone of contention is where he was born. I mean place of birth which determines who is eligible to be President of Nigeria. If Cameroon, sorry.

vindisick:
Atiku,all this long epistle PDP is writing cannot help you to win this case in court. The constitution is the highest law in Nigeria. The tribunal cannot change the law,the highest they can do is to interprete it.
Nnamdi Kanu was the person that first made this discovery about your citizenship via a plebiscite. To win this case,you have to do as NNAMDI KANU has instructed you:
Section 131(D) of the Nigerian constitution states that for a person to qualify for election of presidency he/she must have also been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.
What Atiku's legal team needs to do is to subpoena the waec chairman to testify under oath about buhari's original waec certificate or risk prison terms. Even if he lies,and produce a fake certificate,you have the force of law to perform a carbon dating analysis on the certificate to ascertain the exact year it was printed.

It was Obasanjo.

majamajic:
since almost immediately the President commissioned it

Na wa oooo. But do you know the reason for this?

ChrisKels:
Malice kwa? Bros we get better wingers unless Rohr is gonna set up his team to play defensive football by using the 352 formation against African oppositions, otherwise, Moses is off no use. Even as a wing back, dude is never disciplined playing for Nigeria, so we no dey miss am anything

He is never discipline but e take am win us AFCON. He is of no use but he take am qualify us for world cup.

Make you suffry suffry dey talk.

ChrisKels:
Yesterday, Vicmo played as a full back against Onyekuru. My boy carry Vicmo drink garri sotey him score goal untop Vicmo head

That's a fat lie. Vicmo played as a RW while Onyekuru played on the LW.

I watched the match and I saw both goals before i switched to Samu's game. Onyekuru and Vicmo were both anonymous in that game.

Humility017:
you're right. .... Spain is still better than England and Portugal.
it really pains me to know that most of this lads will still jump on the ships of epl teams....
seeing what happened to oshimen. the Belgian league is the best and have always be the haven for nigeria players development.

I agree Spain is better than Portugal and England but you have to be very good to climb the ladder up to the la Liga.

England is better if a player gets work permit because you can still get a decent club in the EPL or championship willing to give you a chance.

profmathsland:
Yes, both are needed no doubt. But Amoo is more brains than brawn even though he is nicely built.

No wahala. I will keep my eyes on the team.

Humility017:
I tell you Africa football is more about physicality.
that guy will do well....I wish I can advise him to ignore epl clubs... dude need go Belgium or Spain or further development after the world cup

EPL top teams are not good for young African players except they gets work permit because they are likely to make the team in no distant time. Though I can still trust him with Liverpool and Arsenal coaches but it will be better he goes to France, Belgium or Ajax. Forget about Italy, Spain, Portugal and Germany. Those ones will confine them in their academy before giving them chance in the main team.

Humility017:
one thing I noticed about that boy. ... he can't be easily dispossessed of the ball.... he has a good ball control and he is strong.

my only problem with Henry is just his weight and physicality.

you see Kalu, Chuks, Musa and moses Simon...these guys have the strength for Africa football.... especially against the likes of teams like Senegal, Cameroon and Ivory Coast....

He is improving everyday and I think he can work on his final decision. That's normal when he is disposed of the ball but whenever he is left with enough space, he can run down the defence and take quite shots.

Henry is good but I am still trying to study Rohr's body language to determine if he is in his plan.

I agree those 4 players are stronger and fit for African football.

Well, let us see what Rohr is planning.

profmathsland:
Akinwunmi (or Akinkunmi) Ayobami Amoo is not all about muscles. That is just how the lad is built physically but you need to see him "ball".
To be frank, Amoo is among the best technically gifted lads and awesome left footers we have in that team at this level right now. So no dey look muscles my man. Look at the giftedness and obvious quality of the player. His left foot is awesome and his football brain is magnificent.

I think both are needed to excel at this level in Africa.

Humility017:
i thought you said.... he was down the pecking order prior now listing the 4 wingers ahead of him

As you rightly wrote... WAS...... that one done become past tense na.

Icon4s:
You didn't read where it was said he cannot withstand the physicality of the game and easily dispossessed?

Well, I don't know if it's true but looking at him he looks frail.

edi287:
He's been wasted there.

Yes. I hope the coach changes formation because they have been looking games recently with the 3 at the back formation.

Oasis007:
Man of the Match.

Akinwumi Amoo

No wonder dat boy was dropped. See muscle. Hehehehehehe!

darkelf:
Three reasons Chukwueze may not make the squad for AFCON:

1 Gernot Rohr is a conservative man-manager and prefers to give places to players he is familiar with. His conservative style even shows in the tactics he employs against opponents. He also stated earlier that opportunities for inclusion into the final Squad would only be given to players who have proven to be significantly better than those in the Squad. Is chukwueze clearly better than Moses Simon, Onyekuru, Ahmed Musa, Samuel kalu? [b]Based on recent form yes...[/b]but can he maintain that form until the AFCON starts or will he fizzle out before the tournament?

2 It is a known fact that we have never won the U-20 tournament. The youth coaches may not want to sacrifice a gem like Chukwueze to the Senior Squad since his quality and experience playing in the La-Liga could prove indispensable to the team. I foresee them appealing to Rohr so that Chukweze would be made to play for the U-20 rather than the Senior Squad.

3 His inclusion would mean one of Ahmed Musa, Samuel kalu, Moses Simon or Onyekuru would be dropped from the team. This may cause negative tensions in the locker room which is not good for team spirit and cohesiveness. Rohr would want to avoid this.

Please note that I am not against Chukwueze featuring in the AFCON tournament but I doubt he will.

You have answered the question na. No bi Una dey talk say I get am before no be property?

Based on current form, Samu must be the first choice ahead of those players.

I saw Onyekuru played yesterday but he was not that fantastic. Maybe it was one of his bad games nevertheless, Samu must go AFCON.

Samu can play in the two tournaments.

U20 will be on from May 23 - June 15 while the AFCON will be held from June 21 to 19 July.

He can play in both tournaments.

tbaba1234:
Simon has excellent workrate so he is good at defending too.

Apparently!

nelszx:
That's what he has been playing with Levante
He does more defending and a little dash in attack

Exactly! And whenever he dashes into attack he creates chances. He is best a winger.

I now know the reason Simon Moses is not scoring goals. He has played as a LWB in most games.

Tiago Ilori is now back to Sporting Lisbon. Should we not go for him?

Joebie:
Maybe he showed he was the best of the trio in camp. But actual games is another test. You are just looking for any reason to argue your case. When coaches make poor decisions in Europe were they Nigerians those very moments?

Keep deceiving yourself but I refuse to.

Joebie:
Scouts on ground that comb every nook and crannies? You can’t compare that to the exposure abroad. The true test is camp. They were all together there.

I’m still waiting for a single report that Omidiji was unjustly threated. What you are actually clamoring for is an automatic slot for him.

I don't believe in Nigerian coaches judgement. EOD

Is the goalkeeper used today the best in team?

Joebie:
The truth is that your highly esteemed scouts did not beam their searchlights here. We don’t have the kind of exposure as it is in other climes. There were many heads in camp and I’m still yet to see a report that Omidiji at least matched his competition. We have very good players as well in the home front. Let the outstanding players FB or not compete for a spot in camp. If there is any ojoro at least we will hear reports from eyewitnesses.

Don't be deceived, there are scouts here on ground. I can't believe Nigerian coaches judgement. It's not by force to do so. Is it?

You can can believe them no problem.

tbaba1234:
You were active in August 2018 when i posted the report.

https://www.nairaland.com/3018619/super-eagles-thread-russia-2018/4509#70112718

The truth is, I got to know about this information today after going through the net.

Definitely not from you.

tbaba1234:
Where in this post does it say that they rejected his trial to Man city?

See the bolded.

I have not been reading comments here for months. So, definitely not from you.

tbaba1234:
It is not all over the net. I had a conversation with him and posted it here.

The boy did not perform in training.

Crystal Palace, Manchester United, Manchester City Set To Battle Arsenal For Nigerian Prodigy


Published: December 27, 2018

Crystal Palace, Manchester United, Manchester City Set To Battle Arsenal For Nigerian Prodigy
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that three Premier League clubs are set to battle it out with Arsenal to sign Nigeria U15 international Lateef Omidiji Jnr.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Crystal Palace are now in the running to sign the Go Ahead Eagles center forward.

City have long been on the trail of Omidiji and had sent him an invitation to train and check out the club's facilities but Feyenoord, his past club, pulled the plug on any potential deal.

The Eagles are seriously interested in signing the highly-rated striker and have invited him to train in January after the break while United have reached out as well.

Things have changed as he'll be free to go anywhere at no cost as from next season.

Feyenoord had wanted to commit Omidiji to a professional deal but he refused to sign it as he was not comfortable with the terms, so he had to leave the club.

A proposed transfer to Ajax Amsterdam and PSV broke down because the KNVB blocked the move after Feyenoord accused their Eredivisie rivals of attempting to tap up the player.

Ifeanyi Emmanuel


Anyway, tell him he was dropped because our coaches don't think he can play Africa teams with muscles.

Hopefully, the coach can give him chance to play at the world cup if we qualify. Tell am make em humble himself small.
