My agent? Anyhoo, it was well publicized that Iheanacho went to court with his American agent before he made the move to Leicester. Amunike was spot on, these agents are sharks and the players should be protected. I repeat my question, how come he is not Victor Osimhen's agent? If what u are saying has any truth to it then why didn't he take advantage of a boy that slept under his own roof?

Sorry, i meant the name of the agent Iheanacho took to court. that's all.

solonnachi:
I think Rohr will use the first half to try out the 3-5-2 formation on Seychelles then in the second half, he would introduce Etebo & Onyekuru for the 4-3-3. But I think, Seychelles will not be a problem. They are 188 in FIFA ranking & we are 49. Level pass level

Who will play the RWB? Who will join Balogun and Omeruo in the back three?

Abeg, Forget that FIFA ranking. I remember Kenya almost kicked us out of a world cup because we underrated them.

Besides, I have seen Seychelles played and I can see they play as a team. We go chop am if we don't respect them.

solonnachi:
Mr Forgiveness, are you saying Onyekuru does not defend as an attacker?

So I learnt but I also heard he is improving on that at Galatassary.

If he doesn't start then your quess is as good as mine.

edi287:
Hopefully this isn't true. Playing a pivot of Onazi - Ndidi against Seychelles would be beyond disgraceful. Etebo should be starting.
Then again, it looks like a classic 4-4-2 with Nacho and Ighalo as strikers. Rohr needs to behave himself. WC should've been enough to reset his brain

I don't fancy Etebor in the middle. I prefer Onazi.

The only thing Rohr needs to do is to make them know their role else we experience another confusion as we did against South Africa.

I don't think we have the personel to play the 3-5-2 formation. Victor is out, Ekong out, Mikel out and even Iwobi who can play as a wing back is also out. It will be risky to experiment with untested players else we chop am.

solonnachi:
Why not Onyekuru for Kalu?

Because Kalu is a RW while Onyekuru is a LW and we know Ahmed will occupy that position.

Besides, Rohr wants his wingers to attack and defend at the same time.

ChrisKels:
Some times u write as though you are a man frustrated out of hopelessness. The post u quoted, clearly indicated that only the exceptional ones can make it. Aint Alaba, JS Park exceptional (world class)? That means that Madrid kid can only make it(get selected by Spain) if he was exceptional. Otherwise..., but just as good as the Rafinhas, Obiangs, Inakis of this world, then we have no fight.


That said, If u weren't so useless as a person, u also would have noticed I was the first person who brought this kid's news here urging Aigbogun to cap him ASAP bfor Korea and Spain take notice.


This post came in here(August 28) even before u heard anything about that kid for the first time. In fact, it was this post that made u take notice of the boy.




I know where that attack is coming from, because I opened ur yansh (via Amunike list) to d public to c u for what/who u truly are. If u are hurt, find a rope, snick into ur room and make it quick, using ur ceiling fan.

First of all, you made a false strong general statement that a mixed blood or Mullato is not wanted in Hangul which is A BIG FAT LIE. Didn't you?

Secondly, you said Spain doesn't give a bleep about average non Spanish players.

The question now is, according to you, who is an average non Spanish players?

You cited a black Spanish player Inaki William and categorised any/every player of Nigerian root (which is also black) as average when you said and I quote 'WHENEVER a NIGERIAN PLAYER (black man) poops up in Spain, I don't shiver because I KNOW that player is either Eagulian or non international becos SPAIN IS NEVER GOING TO LOOK HIS WAY'


According to your last statement, SPAIN IS NEVER GOING TO LOOK HIS WAY in conjunction with your first statement WHENEVER or AS LONG AS HE IS A NIGERIAN (black man or MULATTO) didn't in any way clearly indicates in your write up that only exceptional ones can make it since you have categorically suggested and CONCLUDED that once you are a Nigerian/black man or MULATTO there is NOTHING EXCEPTIONAL about you. You see you mindset?

Now to prove my point, you emphatically made your categorisation plain and clear when you said 'Diego Costa is not a MULATTO' which brought me to the conclusion that anything MULATTO, NIGERIAN or BLACK MAN is hereby not categorised as exceptional by you. You see ya life again?

THE POINT IS, YOU DON'T CONSIDER ANY BLACK MAN, NIGERIAN AND MULATTO AS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. YOU CONSIDER THEM ALL AVERAGE. EOD

There is only one exception to all blacks are average to you.... bhahahaha make I talk am? na ngwa boy...na mbiase boy.....na umuahia boy.... Hehehehehe! Lmao

Make I no talk ooo.

You! Open my yanch for Emmanuel Amunike wey me don know even before he became coach!? walahi! You be small pikin. Ask from those who followed SE in his days.

Besides, you brought him to our notice doesn't mean you rate him na. Afterall...... hehehehehe

ChrisKels:
South Korea wouldn't want to contaminate their pure white stock and Spain doesnt give a bleep about average non Spanish players because they have abundant talents unlike England. If Inaki Williams was Anglo Ghanaian, he would have been capped by England a long time ago to ward off Ghana.



Whenever a Nigerian player pops up in Spain, I dont shiver because I know that person is either an Eagulian or non international because Spain is never gonna look his way. Even that Aliu in Deportivo fabril is a straight fight between Nigeria and Ghana even though he currently plays for the Spanish youth team.


Alcantara, Rodrigo were able to make it bkus both are immensely talented.

ChrisKels:
He said in the last 10 years, that corresponds with Senna's last game for Spain which was in 2008.


Diego Costa isn't a mulatto, besides that, dude clearly made exception for immensely talented players or world class stars, which is where Costa, Senna, Rodrigo, Alcantara fall in. No place in the Spanish team for mixed average or slightly above average players like Inaki Williams, Pedro Obiang, Rafinha Alcantara, Achraf Hakimi etc

BascoVanVeli:
So u are the only one who doesn't know that Iheanacho took that same agent to court over that same contract? Ok na.

Can you please tell me the name of your agent Iheanacho took to court?

ChrisKels:

You mean mulatto like Js Park, David Alaba, etc are not talented and can't break into Spanish national team if they are Spanish? dey deceive yourself.

Who told you Hangul wouldn't want to contaminate their white stock? You are ignoramus, I swear.

Go to Korea and see how their government dey ditch out citizenship to half Koreans once dey perceive dey are talented.

If Spain doesn't give a bleep about average non Spanish players, why do they cap non Spanish players in their youth teams? Players like Sunday Stephen, Derick, Emilio Nsue López etc have played one time in their team.

For your information, David Alaba, Mbappe, Kante, Ausbag, etc will make Spanish first team any day anytime and he is mixed or molato.

My friend, I can see what you are trying to do. Rubbish the boy by calling him average. I know your style. Well done.



One of these mollato dey represent South Korea for national team.

BascoVanVeli:
What about Amunike's vindication of the agent actually screwing Iheanacho in the long run? Amunike was standing up for the young man. We all know about Osimhen staying with him, don't you think he would have become the boy's agent if he wanted? Statements like this are responsible for poverty because u are bashing a man who actually wants to help these children and in turn you hurt the children.

How did that particular agent screw Iheanacho? I say somebory dey fight for em pocket you dey give excuse. Ok na.

Rohr Makes Up His Mind On Starting XI: Awaziem, Omeruo, Onazi Start; Kalu Full Debut; Nwakali On The Bench

Rohr Makes Up His Mind On Starting XI: Awaziem, Omeruo, Onazi Start; Kalu Full Debut; Nwakali On The Bench
Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has made up his mind on the eleven players that will take to the Stade Linité (Roche Caïman) turf in Saturday afternoon's 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Seychelles.

The German football tactician has made some interesting decisions, one of which is opting to hand new Elche CF signing Francis Uzoho his ninth consecutive start despite his inactivity for his Spanish clubs since the start of the season.

That means Chippa United netminder Daniel Akpeyi has a place on the bench even though he impressed in the Super Eagles training sessions leading up to the game.

Another inactive player, Chidozie Awaziem starts in the right back position, Lokomotiv Moscow's Brian Idowu keeps his place at left-back, while Chelsea loanee Kenneth Omeruo and Leon Balogun start in central defense.

The midfield contains Kelechi Iheanacho and his Leicester City teammate Wilfred Ndidi as well as Eddy Onazi, meaning Arsenal loanee Kelechi Nwakali would make his debut off the bench if he is handed game time.

In-form Changchun Yatai star Odion Ighalo will lead the charge for goals and he'll be supported by Samuel Kalu and Ahmed Musa.

Ex-Arsenal U23 Skipper, Ajayi Speaks On AFCON Tie Vs Seychelles
Former Arsenal U23 skipper Semi Ajayi has stressed the importance of emerging victorious in the AFCON qualifier versus Seychelles on Saturday, September 8th.

Nigeria go in for a make-or-break clash with the Pirates at the Stade Linite and will look to keep their hopes of qualifying for the continental competition holding next year with a win after losing the first of their Group E games against South Africa.

Ajayi is one of the newly invited Eagles hoping to make their first team debuts for Nigeria, the others been Paderbon's Jamilu Collins, Bordeaux's Samuel Kalu and Porto's Kelechi Nwakali.

"It is a very important game. We didn't win the last one (2-0 loss to South Africa) so it is good we get back to winning ways, focus and not take it too lightly," the Rotherham star stated in a video clip posted on the National Team's Twitter handle.

"We need to make sure we play to the best of our abilities and listen to the coach. Hopefully we can get a positive result.

When asked what he and the team would expect form the Nigerian folk come Saturday, he said.

"We want all Nigerians to support the team in the course of the game. It is equally important because it will give us the confidence and motivation to negotiate this one."

The much anticipated cracker on Saturday starts at 4.30pm Seychelles time (1.30pm Nigeria time).

Kelechi Nwakali Tells Rohr He's Ready To Make Competitive Debut Vs Seychelles

Kelechi Nwakali Tells Rohr He's Ready To Make Competitive Debut Vs Seychelles
Arsenal loanee Kelechi Nwakali has vowed to be ready to make his competitive debut for the Super Eagles in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Seychelles on Saturday afternoon if selected by manager Gernot Rohr.

The German football tactician pulled off a public relations coup after handing a maiden call-up to the Porto midfielder as several Super Eagles fans had clamored that he should be invited to the team after starring for the Super Eagles B in a post-season friendly against Atlético de Madrid in May 2018.

''First of all thank God being part of the Super Eagles team to represent Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier,'' Nwakali told Super Eagles Media Officer Toyin Ibitoye.

''For the game on Saturday, the coach has to make the choice of the players that will start the game or play the game.

''I believe that we are all ready if anybody is being called upon. If the mantle should fall on me for the game, I am ready to take the challenge.

''All we urge Nigerians is just to support the team, pray for the team and I believe as a team we will make them proud and we will achieve our aim of coming here.''

Nwakali's call-up is proof that the Nigeria Football Federation's developmental program is working as he played for the Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles before his elevation to the main team.

Netherlands U21 Star Danjuma's Comments About International Future Will Delight Super Eagles Fans

Netherlands U21 Star Danjuma's Comments About International Future Will Delight Super Eagles Fans
Club Brugge star Arnaut Groeneveld Danjuma has not ruled out the possibility of playing for the Super Eagles in the near future.

Born in Lagos, Danjuma was supposed to be provisionally cap-tied to his country of birth, Nigeria, based on FIFA's recommendations but the Nigerian Federation are lagging behind their Dutch counterparts in the race for his services.

The dribbling sensation has said that he would love to play for the Super Eagles if he is not capped by the Netherlands senior team.

''It's clear to me, I want to get to the Dutch national team, but if I did not get the chance here, I would to play with love and joy for Nigeria,'' said Danjuma to Fox Sports.

"I would prefer to play for the Netherlands, but nobody knows what will happen in the future."

The winger has explained why he has been playing with Danjuma on the back of his shirt since the start of the season and his comments will certainly delight the Super Eagles faithful.

''I prefer to keep that for myself. Groeneveld is my second name. And I do not use the name at all because it would sound better in Nigeria,'' Danjuma concluded.

Danjuma earned his fifth consecutive start for the Netherlands U21 team as they were held to a goalless draw by England in a European U21 Championship qualifier on Thursday evening and was the best player in the Dutch team in the first half.

I concur.

ChrisKels:
For those who thought I was lying against him, he just came out to nail it at the bolded

A swine is swine no matter how he watches itself in clean water. That was my view of him before he became coach. That's he is corrupt.

That wan wey I wrote last na to sweet your belle because na wetin you wan hear be that.

Lamentations Chapter 1 vs 2.

This is not good for your health.

Wetin concern you? Na with ya data I take dey lament? Leave me abeg.

komekn:
What I find on this forum which is not in the least bit surprising. Is the intentional delusion as it concerns our inherent nature and attitudes.

In Nigeria, " where man deh work, ee go chop" Rohr has been in Africa for a decade. He understands how we do things and is turning a blind eye to it. As they say silence is consent. That's why people like Glenn Hoddle can not be contracted to the NFF.

Do you now think that all of a sudden NFF officials have now on the arrival of Rohr, decided to adopt integrity, honesty and become TOTALLY SELF- LESS in pursuing national interest. The idea is you can do both. Salisu is a classic example, has anything happened ❓ Any other place him being caught would have started an immediate investigation into the whole activities of the NFF.

Rohr will be influenced and he will not take decisions entirely on his own without consultation. He may be hoodwinked too. But can he bite the hands that feed him, I doubt it.

The scouting team is not inept they have thier own agenda, which only they can see. Or we have decided not too see.

A classic case of 'he who pays the piper calls the tunes'

I totally agree with you on everything especially the bolded. Volenti non fit injuria is the case of Rohr. He is enjoying the mediocre.

ChrisKels:
Forgiveness hated Amunike's team for one reason. Infact, most people with same mindset as his, hated and criticized that team for that particular reason forgetting that it doesn't matter where the talents are chosen from as long as the boys are good.


I was really impressed with the boys today and they have my 100% support. The team still needs some adjustments though.

ChrisKels:
That, most of Amunike's boys had chi as either a prefix or suffix to their names, with little oluwa, olorun and allah


I Knew a day would come when I would remind him of his silliness in the past, though I never knew it was this soon.

So, this is the mindset you're talking about. Let me remind you that ever before he became U17 coach or ever he released his U17 team list, I had already spoken against his corruption.

I was vindicated when he turned Muhammad Ali and fought dirty because of em share of money from Kelechi iheanacho transfer move as a sole agent.

I already knew him and his attitude from his days in the National team. So, your talk no be the reason though I also suspect he is that kind of person. EOD

safarigirl:
people like you will just be calling names up and down because e dey sweet you to talk

So, Rohr should have left the Uche Agbo and Musa Muhammad on the standby list to be calling people wey no dey list? Even if he was replacing the players, he will replace them with those on the standby list, maybe the ones you are calling would have replaced those who left the stand by list on another standby list.

Uche Agbo I know, who is Musa Muhammad? What did he do this season to be invited? Nada.

The point still largely remains that Rohr's list is faulty and his scouting team are inept in scouting better players. That's all. EOD

Rohr should have called Mujiad Sadick Aliu to replace Ekong after playing two matches in the La Liga and he should have called Deji Beyruther to replace Ola Aina afterall he Called one player who just played last season in Bundesliga 3 to the national team how much more a player who played in the Bundesliga 4 and made the bench for Bundesliga team.

We don't need to wait until they are 100 before we begin to invite them. Aigbogun should please give him a look. Mbappe was the best French player on parade today against Germany. Guess what! He is 18 years old. No more dulling, abeg.

Real Madrid Unveil Nigerian-born Youngster

By Editor - September 6, 2018

Photo credit : Park via Real Madrid


Real Madrid of Spain have unveiled a Nigerian-born lad, Marvin Olawale Akinbi Park with their youth team in the lower division.


Park, who was born in Palma de Mallorca in 2000, plays as an attacking midfielder, he is fast and has the ability to dribble and very dangerous in a one-one situation.

He is ambidextrous in nature as he can use both feet very well and has previously played in several other youth clubs in Spain and England.

Among them are Sporting Ciudad de Palma (2006-2009), Tranmere Rovers (2009-2012), Sporting Ciudad de Palma (2012-2013), La Salle (2013-2014), as well as Es Jonquet Penya Arrabal (2014-2016).

Park has also featured at various levels for Real Madrid’s youth teams, following his signing on July 1, 2016; as he oscillated from juvenile C (2016-2017) to B (2017-2018) and now finally in A (2018).

Madrid stated in a citation for Park: “The attacking midfielder has the option to represent Spain or Nigeria at the senior level when he is set to decide on which country to pledge his allegiance.”

Why?

Oga, GNI is not sure o. Adebutu is gaining too much grounds for now. If they don't give Adebutu, he will spoil show for PDP in Remo. Also remember that OGD has still not settled with SPBK, and Kasham is just too popular in Ogun East for now.

This man, if it is true is a blunder for APC, but it doesn't mean GNI is save for now.

Can someone please tell me the full meaning of GNI? Where is he from?

If Adebutu wins PDP, I think APC might suffer in the Ijebu/Remo axis. They don't want another marginalisation from Amosun.

komekn:
That list is the tip of the Iceberg, there is no EPL Academy that does not have Nigerian origin players in it , you are talking in terms of teenagers at least 300 player.

I have noticed the Bundesliga is now really positively trying to attract and recruit Black African boys so there are a lot more of them.

You also missed out Bobby Adekanya ,

https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/academy/313007-liverpool-u23s-adekanye-critchley

I know Bobby Adekanye very well because I followed him when he was scoring goals for fun for Ajax youth at the age of 10. I even watched a YouTube of him then dribbling all his mates to score goals from half center of the field which dubbed him Messi. That prompted Barcelonia to offer his parents free accommodation and job in Spain in order to get him into their team because he was not of age and FIFA doesn't permit such transfer of U18 players to other countries except you reside in that obscure particular country.


At Barcelona, he was Messi favourite player and that was why he gave him some personal training. Though Ajax filled a report against Barcelona which they won and that was one of the reasons Barcelona was banned from buying a player for a season.

He was repatriated back to Holland where he joined PSV on loan but Liverpool took advantage of the situation and got him on free transfer after been promised to play for the first team in the future.

All along, he openly pledge to play for Nigeria U17 but on two occasions he was rejected and that was why he turned out to play for Holland U17 team which eventually makes him ineligible to play for any of our age grade teams save the national team, that was why I didn't mention him.

In regards to players in EPL's academy, you can please give names of those who are exceptionally good and eligible to play for Nigeria age grade teams. No wahala.

tbaba1234:
There are other options already in camp to play those roles. Semi Ajayi, Omeruo, Awaziem and Balogun can play centre back. Etebo, Musa, Onyekuru, Kalu can play the Iwobi role. Idowu and Omeruo can play right back.

Sone Aluko did not have a great season last season and has not done much this year either.

Doesn't Iorfa need to nationality switch?

What great thing did Nwakali do last season and this season to get a look?

I know Semi Ajayi and Jamiu Collins at least helped their various clubs to gain promotion from division 3(league 1 and Bundesliga 3) to championship and Bundesliga 2, and I can still understand though I am still curious to know why they were invited in the first place. But what did Kelechi Nwakali do this season and last season? Nothing yet he was called.

Then why raise the bar for other players?

Back to Sone Aluko, when he had great season two seasons ago with 9 goals and 13 assists and was even nominated for an award was he given a look?

Last season, he scored 2 goals and had 5 assists yet you claim he did nothing.

The point is, Sone Aluko has been stylishly shut out of the national team. EOD

Beside Sone, we have Ajagun and Eze who can play comfortably in Alex Iwobi's role though Sone Aluko is better than these peeps.

In regards to Iorfa, I think there is personal vendetta against the lad hence the snub.
