Salvia Prague came second in the Czech league and they will play in the 3rd round qualifying of the Uefa champions league,so why are you lying ?

If na onyekuru go Czech you go insult am tire I trust you,anyway olayinka is a young boy and he can still move bigger.

There is nothing special about the Czech league,the champions of the Czech league has a Nigeria player named ubong ekpai he was bought from a mid table team and he will be playing in the champions league so no big deal for olayinka.

Keep on skipping my question

Name a world class player who has played in the Czech league ?

Can you point out the lie in my post?

If there is nothing special about the Czech's league, why is the same Czech's league rated than the Austrian league, Scottish league, Eredivisie and the Swiss league in the UEFA league seeding this season?

Besides, I already know Ubong Ekpai is with FC Viktoria Plzeň but it is not a bigger club than Slavia Prague.

FC Porto move shows Kelechi Nwakali is not ready for Super Eagles

Solace Chukwu
Correspondent

The highly rated youngster is not yet close to taking the mantle of the national side, contrary to popular expectation

The day before, a mishmash of a Nigeria selection had drawn 2-2 with a largely reserve Atletico Madrid team. It was a curious game: low on quality, but decorated by some eye-catching goals, one of which flew in off the boot of youngster Kelechi Nwakali.

The question then with which Rohr was set upon centred on the exclusion, from his provisional World Cup squad, of the former Nigeria under-17 captain. If he was good enough to score a curler of such immaculate beauty, why was he not an option in a midfield that was struggling for creativity?
The reaction must have come as a bit of a surprise to the German coach. For one thing, and as he rightly pointed out, an end-of-season friendly against a side that had endured a gruelling run to the Europa League final, and therefore had understandably opted to give some of their kids and fringe players a run was hardly the proper measure for anyone's readiness for a World Cup.


Secondly, and perhaps more pertinently, there was nothing to suggest, from the season the 20-year-old had had at club level in the Netherlands, that he deserved a look-in at all.

Two months on, the 2015 Under-17 Golden Ball winner is set to begin another loan from parent club Arsenal, this time in the Portuguese second division with FC Porto's B team. Perhaps this shows that Rohr was right after all?
Nwakali is a player of whom a lot seems to be expected.

This weight of expectation hangs with even more urgency and heft due to the imminent winding-down of national team captain and talisman John Obi Mikel. For most, the same sauntering swagger and daring with which the Super Eagles captain emerged into the public eye is visible in Nwakali.
As such, this transfer window, perhaps more than any other, was a crucial juncture for the young midfielder.


The decision to join Porto and play for the reserve side, therefore, has led to a great deal of exasperation, especially with the inability of his representatives, Stellar Football Ltd., to get a better deal for a player of his talents.
However, what if the answer is a lot simpler, and the problem is not with his agents, but with the estimation of his abilities back home?
Perhaps the correct answer is the simplest one: Nwakali is just not as good as we like to believe he is.
Getting hung up on players based on performances at youth level and in one-off matches is nothing new. Mikel himself was a victim of this for so long with the national side, and should perhaps have served as a cautionary tale for how players can sometimes grow away from the blinding light of expectation.

Perhaps the player will impress so much in the second tier that Porto exercise their option to make the deal permanent, but, by Nwakali's own admission, he will need to develop a lot more in order to be the player he can become.
"My main goal is to develop and evolve as a player," he admitted in an interview with Porto's official website. “Improve my qualities and the other aspects that I know I need to correct to help me grow in the way I play."

In there lies the kernel of a truth that has escaped so many: there is a streak of showiness and superfluity to his play at times which, while he idolizes Porto legend Deco, is more reminiscent of the earlier play of France's Paul Pogba.
It might have thrilled the teeming crowd at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo, but it was much less impressive for Eredivisie side VVV-Venlo, for whom Nwakali played less than 300 minutes across the first half of last season, before being sent to the second tier.

He had a much better time of it with MVV Maastricht, scoring four times and assisting once in the second half of the season. However, three of his four only came against the league's bottom five.

Still only 20, there is plenty of time for Nwakali to grow and force his way into the mainstream. There is some frustration that he is not quite the prodigy most expected, but that does not preclude him growing into a very good footballer.
Perhaps the lesson here is that we ought not to expect too much.

Hmmm! Porto team B? And he is dreaming of playing for the National team regularly from a second division.

charlesemeka85:
and as both stared in the same league why is it that only one got noticed by better clubs from more decent leagues? brosif you like paint am say slavia prague is the best club in obscure leagues, your man olayinka goofed by joining them after having a good season in belgium last term

They didn't start in the same league though Olayinka came to the Belgium league before Onyekuru but due to long injury could not play for Gent and was sent on loan to another league.

It was that same season he was sent on loan to another league Onyekuru came to limelight and became a national team player. Olayinka just had his first season in the Belgium pro league last season while Onyekuru second season was last season. Different senerio.

How do you know better club in a decent league didn't come for him?

Although, I don't fancy his move to the Czech league but the same obscure leagues' champions goes straight into the UEFA Champions league group stage while their 2nd and 3rd best teams qualifies direct into the Uefa champions league 3rd round and the Europa group stage respectively. Unlike the Austrian league, Eredivise and Swiss league champions, Red Bull Leipzig, PSV, and Young Boys who must go through the 3rd round before they qualify to play in the Uefa champions league stage.

Not to talk of the Soctich champions Celtic who must go through the first, second, third rounds and the play off round before they qualify for the UEFA champions league group stage, and their 2nd and 3rd best teams Aberdeen and Rangers must go through the first round before they play in the Europa league.

Can you explain the reason this same obscure league is rated than those aforementioned world class leagues by UEFA?

ChrisKels:
Because u have been clamoring for him to be invited.

Also because he is Moussa Dembele's cousin brother

Yes, I clamoured for him when he was doing well in the Eredivisie ahead of player in one obscure league you people were clamouring for.

What is problem?

Relegation of a club doesn't determine the quality of a player. He is in the French 2 division.

edi287:
I'm so upset man! Had high for him. I thought he'd move to say a bigger Belgian club, France or Germany. SMH..

Na em sabi. Wish em well in his endeavour.

We should focus on those who are serious.

AIG07:
Nigeria Players I'm looking forward to this coming season are
*Already capped*
Success
Iwobi
Henry
Musa
Ebuehi
Awaziem

*Not yet capped*
Noah
Lookman
Eze
Philip
Awoniyi
Sadiq
Orji

I'm expecting these guys to have an amazing season.

Onomah, Noah Okafor, Mandela Egbo, Shawn Adewoye, Keanan Bennett, Philip and Sheyi Ojo.

ChrisKels:
He has always fancied his chances with the Albanian national team. You know they have been courting him for a long time now?

Na em palaba bi dat.

ChrisKels:
Oh really? Alright no problems but I have been longing to ask;

How come u dont wanna discuss Ryan Sanusi's move to lowly Grenoble in the French second division after helping to relegate his former club, Rotterdam to Holland second division? Remember he is Moussa Dembele's cousin

Why should I discuss him?

Certitude:
The coach may wanna try him out na. What if he is very impressive in the league, he can get a call up.

Wanna ko wobia ni.

To get a call then he most be the best player in Czech's league or be very impressive in the champions league since his club is always either playing there or Europa league, because we have a lot of good players in a better league fight for a shirt on his LW position.

Anything short of exceptional performance, coach should not try use mago mago way call him into the national team.

charlesemeka85:
olayinka who someone in this forum rated ahead of onyekuru don finally find em level for czech league while the latter is doing his thing in a better league and in the colours of turkish biggest and most successful club. let me come and be going #lookingfortroublesince1802

Where did we get to know both players?

In the same Belgium pro League where they both contributed to over 20 goals.

It is not as if Onyekuru performed in LA liga while Olayinka performed in Cyprus. Abi wetin you take dey do your own rating?

Besides, Slavia Prague is the second most successful club in Czech. They won the league two seasons ago and played in the Uefa champions league group stage last season. This season they came second in the league making them to qualify for the Uefa champions league third round.

Czech's league is just one step below the Turkish league.

ChrisKels:
He was fit and I was tipping him to rep the injured SiMoses but Rohr had other plans

Really! But he didn't play for 3 months or more than.

ChrisKels:
Nope, he should jump at the opportunity to join the jupiler league for Zulte Waregem. He would be given ample opportunities and if he was able to bang in 20+goals, then he would be moving to a better league for a better team.

Make him leave Germany totally

I have modified my post. I actually meant he should leave Germany totally.

ChrisKels:
Imagine if we had gone to the world cup with today's most rated player in Gala

Well, it could have been good but I think he was not fit enough.

Anyway, make I monitor him this season in the champions league .

ChrisKels:
This is something I have noticed. Bundesliga teams and continuity can hardly be used in the same sentence

Yeah! They are not patient enough. I hope Osimhen runs for his dare life.

He should not agree to go on loan in the Bundesliga 2 else ... I don't talk my own oooo.

Modified

TheGoodJoe:
Simple, Success came up as a striker and was identified as a potential quality hitman. Due to competition, he was forced to play wide, which hinders his finishing ability. Remember Lukaku playing wide at Chelsea and not looking top quality.

Boss Icon4s pointed out that if Success had a smooth path in his development as a striker, we would not have had our current striking problem. I wonder why such an accurate statement is causing people heartaches.

Did you monitor Isaac at Granada? I don't think so.

ChrisKels:
Are u seriously serious? Onyekuru really good?

Before nko.

He is currently the most rated player in Galassataray and the 4th most rated in the Turkish league.

That's serious.

TheGoodJoe:
Osimhen has done well so far. Even if he did not break through at Wolfsburg, he got a shot there. Awoniyi is over a year older than Osimhen, he is yet to get a full shot at a recognized club. Awoniyi has not slugged it out with players of the likes of Origi and Mario Gomez. So it is not accurate making it look like Awo had a smooth trajectory. He is still on loans, trying to make a name for himself.

Same with Osimhen. If the Belgian league pays off for Osimhen this season, I doubt I will rate him behind Awo. Awo made his break last season and Osimhen who is a year behind I think has learnt enough in the Bundesliga which Awo has not had that level of exposure, to make a shot for him self.

I don't like our young players go to Bundesliga because success rate is too low.

Certitude:
What if he is invited and he impresses in training?

How will he get invitation in the first place?

tbaba1234:
Hmm, What's going on here? Omidiji started from the bench in the last 2 games. Does he know something, we don't?

I can't decipher what is going on. Please, explain. Thanks

edi287:
Useless agent. Very bad move from Olayinka.
More excuse for Rohr not to look at him

Very bad one. He should not dream of wearing Green White green while he is there.

charlesemeka85:
Nigerian striker Peter Olayinka has ended speculation about his future after penning a four-year contract with SK Slavia Prague, the Czech First League club announced via their official website on Saturday.

Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that Gent will pocket approximately 3.5 million euros plus bonuses for agreeing to terminate their agreement with Olayinka before its expiration.

Olayinka is returning to the Czech Republic capital after a previous stint with Dukla Prague, for whom he scored 7 goals in 32 appearances in all competitions.

Commenting on the transfer, Olayinka stated : ''I was very happy, when I learned about going to Slavia and returning to Prague, I was happy and it attracts me because Slavia is the top of Czech football.

''When I was in Dukla, Slavia became the champion of the league. I can imagine that Slavia will once again be a champion and I want to be like that. It's a great chance for me. Slavia is a club where I can become a champion.''

Olayinka began his career with 36 Lion before moving to Bylis Ballsh in Albania, and also counts Yenicami SK and Skënderbeu amongst his former employers.

For the upcoming season, he will play with the number nine jersey at Slavia Prague.

The deal taking Olayinka to Slavia Prague was brokered by respected French agent Cedric Mazet.

Ok na

peterd53:
Onyekuru with a goal

This boy is really good.

tbaba1234:
Zelalem played for Germany under 17 but USA under 20.

Zelalem case is different because he only played a friendly for Germany U17 but Okafor has played in FIFA sanctioned competition for Switzerland U17.

Any other example?

MetaPhysical:
Yoruba is in two regions, North and South. Please correct.

That region was stolen from Yorubas. However, you are right on point.

oloriooko:
No following it on Mauritania football federation twitter

OK thanks.

tbaba1234:
Yes, he can switch

From U17 to U20?

I am not aware. Any link to back up the claim?

oloriooko:
its now 2-0 advantage Nig

Are you watching the match?

tbaba1234:
He is eligible for under 20.. He has not played for other swiss youth teams but not under 20.

Is Omijiji still eligible to play for America U20 team should he play for Nigeria 17 team in competitive tournament recognized by FIFA?

ChrisKels:
But he has only played for Swiss U18

I may be wrong but FIFA rule doesn't permit a player who has played in any affilliated organized FIFA competition at the underage level to play for another country underage team.

Such player is only eligible to play for the national team, therefore, Okafor who has played for Swiss U16 in the U17 UEFA qualifiers is no longer eligible to play any age grade tournament for another country.

Like I said, I may be wrong.

Now I know allnigeriasoccer.com is up to something. Their claim Simon Moses is out of favour in Gent is a big fat lie and the insinuation Samuel Kalu market value is higher than Simon Moses is a fuss. Below transfermarkt market value of Simon Moses shows he is the 2nd most valuable player in Gent and 15th most valuable player in the Belgium pro league, which makes him valuable than Samuel Kalu in Gent and Belgium pro league.



Nigerian Players Likely To Change Clubs: Top Five Summer Transfer Targets
Published: July 20, 2018

With the summer transfer window in full swing, allnigeriasoccer.com takes a look at five Nigerian players who will most likely jump ship before the close of the window.

1) Name : Kenneth Omeruo
Club : Chelsea
Linked with : Gent, Celtic, Göztepe
Probable Cost : £5 million

Comments: Omeruo returned to Cobham for pre-season training with Chelsea ahead of the new season. Despite his impressive performance at the 2018 World Cup, another loan move or permanent transfer is on the cards yet again.

2) Name : Ahmed Musa
Club : Leicester City
Linked with : Al Nassr, Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Huddersfield Town
Probable Cost : £12 million

Comments: The 25-year-old's transfer to Leicester City has not really worked out and that is unlikely to change in the new season if he remains at the KP as manager Claude Puel is still in charge.

Musa's stock has risen thanks to his two goals against Iceland at the World Cup, and is now spoilt for choice as regards to his next destination.

3) Name : Moses Simon
Club : Gent
Linked with : Liverpool, Brighton, Monaco, Newcastle United, Wolfsburg
Probable Cost : £5 million

Comments: Simon has not figured for Gent in their pre-season matches so far, fueling speculation that he is not in the plans of manager Yves Vanderhaeghe for the upcoming season.

His omission from Nigeria's World Cup roster due to injury has not helped his cause as no concrete bid has been put in place by all the clubs he has been linked with.

4) Name : Samuel Kalu
Club : Gent
Linked with : Monaco
Probable Cost : £13 million

Comments : Gent are hoping to make a tidy profit from the sale of the winger this summer. While Simon is out of favour at the club, Kalu is still in the plans of the coach and they will demand an astronomical fee before he is sold.

Monaco made initial enquiries about signing the player rated the most promising talent from Nigeria ahead of the summer transfer window.

5) Name : Taiwo Awoniyi
Club : Liverpool
Linked with : Monaco, PAOK, Anderlecht, Club Brugge, Gent
Loan Fee : £1 million

Comments : Despite recently extending his contract with Liverpool, Awoniyi is set for a fourth loan spell because he is not eligible to be issued a British work permit.

He impressed last season on loan at Belgium club Royal Excel Mouscron, hitting double-figures for the first time in his professional career.

Basel's Noah Arinze, 18 years old.. Great Prospect who already made his debut with the first team at Basel..

Here, he is showing his Nigerian side on Instagram. Let us not lose this guy to Switzerland like Manuel Akanji.

Youth Coaches take note.

How I wish he is eligible to play for Nigeria U20 but that is not the case. Nigeria SE team is only one he is eligible to play for but our rob palms mentality will not allow dem give em chance small. Na wa ooooooo.

This boy heart is Nigerian, so is Manuel Akanji but the yeye people consigned may not look his way despite the open show of connection with Nigeria.

Gent demanding fee is blocking Moses Simon and Kalu Samuel move away from the club to Liverpool and Monaco respectively.

Monaco has ended interest in Samuel Kalu while Liverpool is also reluctant to pay the transfer fee demanded by Gent though report claimed they will sign him before the end of this week which is not concrete.


Gent should please take things easy and allow these players to go. Abeg.
