Watching Kayode for Girona against Real Madrid. He's having a good game but nothing so spectacular really. I don't see him displacing anyone we already have in the Super Eagles.


O pari

Haha! You don't see don't mean others can't see. You don't see but Man City can see.

Bros, this match was against the best team in the world no bi against Nairaland fc PLC.

Besides, he didn't only came in to strike, but he also came in and did a lot of defending on the right wing where Madrid earlier had easy passages. And as soon as he came on, he sealed that place from Madrid attacks. Madrid had to change to Girona left wing.


Despite that he had to run from the flank to strike.

He should have scored if his teammate passed the ball to him when he was left alone in the box but the greedy player wasted the chance.

Mujtahida:
Yeah forgiveness would make a good scouting agent but not a good coach. Forgiveness try scouting na. But no near coaching ooo.

Hahaha! I sabi read match small oooo
.

soetanoreoluwa:
..you have plan to kick him out?... Cos I have started to see such sign in you

Hmm! if I wanted I 4 don dey criticize am after the match against Zambia but I am very patient with players.

Mujtahida:
Truly it's painful when we lose out on great talents. This one is just coming up. We don't know how he'd turn out. It's dicey but one thing here is that he's declared for us, he's young and passionate about playing for us. Your suggestion ain't bad. Don't want us missing out on another Alaba or like the way we missed AJ.

U got my point.

soetanoreoluwa:
Sir forgiveness Come answer this o!

He has not failed yet. I just want to see him start against Algeria and gets some time against Argentina before I give my final verdict.

maidaboi:
when this guy was in portugal and was always making team of the week forgiveness was always shouting his name
i think sir forgiveness will be a very good scout

I still feels he is a good player despite the stick he received after those matches. Rohr should allow him start against Algeria and get some time against Argentina before we give our final verdict.

About the scout time, me I no know oooo.

Humility017:
I tell you...you see them jostling for this job..not because they've got passion for it but because the money they tend to make from coaching the cadet teams..

And very painful that these evil deeds are done at the detriment of the Nation.

So pathetic.

Mujtahida:
He should be called for the U20. I like the fact that he is good with free kicks.

I should be capped now before we lose him then we can send him to U20.

ChrisKels:
I have a big genuine success story from an insider about some quality foreign born players making waves in Europe's top five leagues who have called in saying they are reconsidering their earlier stances of turning out for their European nations, I would have loved to share the news in details with us here but for the prying ears, let me shield my sword until it's reported by THENFF.COM. We wouldn't wanna repeat a mistake. With these developments, expect some changes and stiffer competitions in the defence, midfield through to the attack.

I fear for Omeruo, Agu, Echiejile, Nwakeme and to an extent, Ogu.

Ya wa!

Mujtahida:
Who we go call, who we no go call? This thing ain't easy ooo cos if one wants to call every player that gives off a good scent it's going to be very difficult to build a team. But I am even happy that unlike some years ago we now have players jostling to be given an opportunity.

Since, Echeijele is out and we are looking for a natural LB then it is very easy to give him a call.

Rohr Chasing Hoffenheim Defender Akpoguma Rejected By Nigeria U17 In 2011


Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr is still combing Europe for players who can provide options for his team ahead of their campaign at next year World Cup in Russia.
Roht who has successfully convinced former England youth international Ola Aina to switch allegiance from England to Nigeria as cover for the left full back spot is also keen on German youth international defender Kevin Akpoguma.
Akpoguma captained Germany to a 1-0 1in over Nigeria at the 2015 World Youth Championship Championship in New Zealand, but he could easily have been playing for Nigeria.
In 2011, the defender who is now one of the first name on the team sheet for Hoffenheim approached the coach of the Nigeria U17 team Monday Odigie indicating his interest to be a part of the team.
” I saw the story you guys (Owngoalnigeria.com) did on Deji-Ousman Beyreuther, Akpoguma suffered also similar fate in 2011, but today he is wanted by the coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr”, a family source told Owngoalnigeria.com.

” Akpoguma approaches the Nigeria U17 coach back then but he wasn’t given a look in. He ended up playing for Germany same year before rising to the role of captain of their U-20 four years later”.

Professional contract for Deji Beyreuther

U-19 player Deji Beyreuther has signed a professional contract at Eintracht. The left-back has been handed a deal until summer 2021.

Having only moved across the city from FSV Frankfurt in January of this year, left-back Deji Beyreuther did not need much time to find his feet and soon impressed for the Eintracht U-19s. The 18 year-old has now signed a professional contract with the Eagles until 30 June 2021.

Beyreuther was already training regularly with the first team during pre-season until an injury forced him out of action. After three months on the sidelines, the left-footer made his comeback with the U-19s against 1. FSV Mainz 05, and was then called up to the senior squad by head coach Niko Kovac for the DFB Cup game against 1. FC Schweinfurt 05.

“In Deji we have a very talented player in our U-19s who’s already knocking on the door of the first team after a short time,” said sporting director Bruno Hübner. “He’s a player with huge potential who we see playing for the first team in the future, having trained with them again since his injury. The fact he was on the bench for the cup game against Schweinfurt underlines our confidence in his ability. We fully believe Deji can make the step up to professional football.”

Beyreuther himself was almost lost for words after signing: “I’m overjoyed that Eintracht have given me this opportunity. I feel completely happy here, at Riederwald and in the stadium. To see my name in Niko Kovac’s great squad fills me with huge pride. I’ll do my best to repay the faith.”

http://www.eintracht.de/en/news/article/professional-contract-for-deji-beyreuther-62487/

There is no need for us to wait until he starts shining before we call him.

Rohr should call him for the Algeria match to tie him down and afterwards watch him grow in the league.

ChrisKels:
If that report was anything to go by, then the said anonymous agent must be Tony Harris who flooded our team with below average players such as Gabriel Ruben, Michael Uchebo, Babatunde, Moses Simon, Uche Nwofor etc. The purported player still in the mix must be Moses Simon, not Shehu because I doubt Shehu is Tony's player.

Surely, Shehu is the player who needed an agent to get into the national team because he was almost without a club when he received a call. Simon was already a super star in Belgium when he was called into the national team.

Kog45:
Don't u know some guys came into d team through agents when Rohr was new and it's still happening coz Aaron Samuel invitation still a puzzle for me.

If Aaron can make it why not Ejide,but funny enough Ejide lack d same confidence and composure that a lot believe is d problem of Akpeyi,I can tell anybody that Ezenwa and Ajiboye are better keeper than Ejide.

Recommending Ejide not Aiyenugba should tell u a lot are running d show behind Rohr.

If Enyeama w not make it,then we should concentrate on what we have,Akpeyi,Ezenwa, Ajiboye, Uzoho, Alampasu, instead of going back to Ejide.

I believe with more matches before WC things w take shape.

That is why I will always voice out against this obvious dirty business going on in the national team.

I am doing my research to know if these agents are in collaboration with some of these clubs and coaches because you will suddenly see a player who has been on the bench fir donkey years start getting playing two weeks before the announcement of Super Eagles list and before you say jack Robinson you will see such players name on the list.

Once they play one or two matches, people will claim they are super eagles member or you will hear they are versatile hence the need to keep them. But other players playing regularly often gets ignored.

They always make sure those doing well never get a call and if eventually they are forced to oblige, they will give such player 15 minutes of game time. Why? Because they don't want make em shine take win the heart of fans.

If at all they need experienced goalkeeper apart from Vincent it must be Dele Aiyenugba not Ejide.

Joebie:
lol.. in life we choose to believe what we want to believe. Many people discard what does not support their beliefs, and hold strongly to what supports it. It's a choice.

In life we have to face reality. There's no need deluding oneself.

Example we say one day Nigeria go better but nobody takes action. To me that is delusion grandeur.

ROHR’S FEAR OF BACKLASH HOLDS BACK EJIDE’S SUPER EAGLES’ RECALL

https://www.sportsvillagesquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Austin-Ejide-293x165.jpg
BY BOLAJI OKUNOLA.

Super Eagles’ manager, Gernot Rohr is still having headaches over the last line of his World Cup-bound squad. The goalkeeping department is still a source of worry for him. In the five World Cup qualifying matches he guided Nigeria to, the Franco-German coach made use of three goalkeepers.


Ikechukwu Ezenwa featured lately and most prominently in three of such matches while the duo of Carl Ikeme and South Africa based Daniel Akpeyi had a match each and conceded a goal in each of the encounters.


Ezenwa in three consecutive matches conceded just a penalty kick goal, away from home in the encounter with Cameroon in Douala.


While Ezenwa is just warming himself into Rohr’s heart, the coach admits he needs strong back up for the World Cup and also for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series which resume in March.


His desire to bring back a seemingly unwilling self-retired Vincent Enyeama appears doomed as feelers indicate that the Nigeria Football Federation is not inclined to the goalkeeper’s recall.


Yet, it is almost generally agreed that the Super Eagles do not have a goalkeeper that can grace the esteem stage of the World Cup. The team must have three goalkeepers in its final 23-man squad.


A source in the Super Eagles technical crew informed Sports Village Square that Rohr was thinking of recalling World Cup’s negative record holder, Austin Ejide. But the possible backlash from pundits has held him back.


Austin Ejide has been to three World Cup finals in 2002, 2010 and 2014 without seeing a minute of action.


After almost two years of layoff, he is currently back with an Israeli club, Hapoel Hadera. He last kept the goal for Nigeria in a goalless outing with South Africa in a 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in September 2014.


The inside source told Sports Village Square that Rohr was aware of Ejide’s experience but he was also worried by the goalkeeper’s lack of action which will possibly draw a lot of criticism that may also affect Ejide’s composure.


Independent sources told Sports Village Square that Ejide’s weight and increased size are additional worries. Last January, while featuring in a Joseph Dosu organized novelty match at the Julius Berger ground in Lagos, Ejide told Sports Village Square that his not getting a national call-up was due to his not featuring for any club side since he left Hapoel Be’er Sheva of Israel in 2015.


As at January, he still nursed a possible return to the Super Eagles’ fold if he was able to secure a contract with a club which he has since done.


His contract for the Hapoel Hadera is for three years. Before, Vincent Enyeama, Ejide was the first choice goalkeeper when the 2002 squad was disbanded after the turmoil that afflicted the Super Eagles at the Mali 2002 Africa Cup of Nations.


Ejide debuted for the Super Eagles on June 16, 2001 when he came off the bench as a substitute for Sunday Rotimi in an away 0-2 win for Nigeria against Namibia in an Africa Cup of Nations Cup qualifier.


He was looking like a possible permanent holder of the number one shirt having featured in the pre World Cup friendly matches under Coach Adegboye Onigbinde.


However, Vincent Enyeama stamped his authority as a goalkeeper the moment he debuted on May 4, 2002 in a 3-0 defeat of Kenya in a friendly match in Lagos.


But in 2008, Ejide was preferred by Germany’s Coach Berti Vogts ahead of Vincent Enyeama at the Africa Cup of Nations.


But is he ready to bounce back again? In the encounter with him months ago, he told Sports Village Square: “I still wish to keep for the Super Eagles. All goalkeepers must be in top form before getting a national team call up. I am not under a contract with any club for now.


“No one knows what tomorrow or the nearest future will be. As soon as a get signed with any club then I will certainly be battle ready for the Super Eagles gloves. Nigeria is my country and I derive pleasure in staying between the sticks whenever I am called upon.”


Has the time come? The Super Eagles source said while Rohr seemed inclined towards, Ejide, the foul aroma over his inactivity may make the NFF to kick against his invitation.

https://www.sportsvillagesquare.com/2017/10/28/rohrs-fear-backlash-holds-back-ejides-super-eagles-recall/

This is one of the reasons I said man no man na em people dey take enter national team.

If this report is true then someone should please tell me how can a free agent and one who is without a club for two years like Ejide gets a call-up before Dele Aiyenugba who won the league for his club just two or three seasons ago and is still very much active, huh?

I believe those Nigerians with Rohr are the ones given him names of Nigerians playing abroad because I presume he knows nothing about Nigerians abroad.

Chrismario:
U re here bro. Welcome.

Hahahahahah! You self dey here!

Thanks bro.

Wow! For the past two years, I have been thinking about this movement but unfortunately I can't be involved in politics due to the rules of my job.

However, I commend those who summoned courage to initiate this movement.

I hope it becomes a success. I would advise you identify some regular monikers in the political sections and bring them on board.


Besides, I suggest that election should be carried out here to elect the executives of the party. Once that is done, you will see many youths interested in this movement.

They want to see transparency before they give their trust in this movement.

What did we benefit from the oil money till date?

A letter to Emmanuel Amunike 2yrs ago before the 2015 U17 Fifa world cup.

Deji is a patriot and must not be overlooked.



Hello.
My name is Deji Ousman Beyreuther.
I was born in Göttingen and played for Sparta Göttingen. Then i moved to Hannover and played for Tsv pattensen. My Trainer was Stefan Mertesacker, father of per mertesacker(german national player). Next i moved to Frankfurt because family reasons. Now i play for the Bundesligaclub Fsv Frankfurt. I was born on the 06.09.1999 and play for the u17 squad. I think its the right time for the nationalteam. My mother Heike Beyreuther is German and my father Lukman Oladimeji is Nigerian. I would like to participate in the Nigerian nationalteam and not the German because i love the Culture, the passion on the Field and my motivation is my uncle Mohammed Oladimeji Lawal who also played for the nationalteam. I am actually a defensive middlefielder but play left defender and feel more confident on this Position as i played there this season in which we successfully finished on the 1. place. I weigh 65 kilogram and I am 1,78 tall.
My strong foot is the left one but have almost the same qualities in pass and dribble and skill with the right. My role is as an offensive left defender who supports the offense with dangerous crosses and direct longshots. In my first season at Fsv Frankfurt i became captain because I give commandos and support my team to lead to success. I follow every match of the golden eaglets and think that my abilities will support this team.
I hope to hear from you soon,
kind regards,
Deji Ousman Beyreuther

Wow! But Ojokolo no wan make em son play for Nigeria.

Besides, Where is the guy that played the LB position for Amuneke?

If you remove the tik tak pattern of play from Amuneke's team, the players are mostly average players.

I have said it here times without numbers that most of his players are mediocre. Only 3 or 4 are ok.

The best set is Manu Garba with up to 6-7 players doing well presently.

Omeruo Headline New Names In Squad For Algeria, Argentina Games, Ebuehi Returns


In-form Kasimpasa defender Kenneth Omeruo who is on loan to the Turkish side from English Premier League outfit Chelsea has been handed a recall to the senior national team of Nigeria by coach Gernot Rohr.
Rohr has omitted the player from his list for the last three games in the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers, with his last call up coming in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers tie against South Africa where he was benched for Chidozie Awaziem in the 0-2 loss in Uyo.
The Franco-German coach has consistently maintained that the 24 year old need regular run of games before he can be called back into the team, and with Omeruo recent fine form for Kasimpasa has been handed a recall for the games against Algeria and Argentina.
Nigeria will play Algeria in a dead rubber World Cup 2018 Qualifiers tie on the 10th of November before taking on Argentina in a high profile friendly game on the 14th in Russia.

Omeruo is not the only new name expected to be included in the squad that prosecuted the last three games for Nigeria as there is also a recall for Henry Onyekuru who was last called up for the game against South Africa.
Onyekuru will replaces injured Chelsea ace Victor Moses, while Tyronne Ebuehi of ADO Den Haag who was on standby in the last Eagles list has been invited and he will most likely make his debut against Algeria.

If we can't get Akpoguma, Uduokhai, Ilori, Iorfa and Torunarigha then I think Ambrose and Omeruo should be given the chance though I am not impressed with Omeruo because he was not impressive the last time I watched him.

tbaba1234:
He has had one assist since July.. That is true... Abi you no understand English.. His last assist was in June before October

That assist was just a few days ago.

Is October no longer part of the year?

tbaba1234:
There were 6 games in August in both the league and cup.

Martins played in 3 matches, was on the bench for 1 and did not make the squad for 2 games. He scored 0 goals and 0 assists.

After his last game he picked up an injury and missed games for 4 weeks.. (He only missed games in September)

He returned recently and played 2 games with one assist.

That is not blazing form.. Once he returns to top form, make this case again.

Thank God you are confessing small small.

I thought you said he had on assist since July? Hahaha!

Joebie:
oga Mickael2 and forgiveness, if we do well in the friendlies the better oh. If our youngsters come good, the better oh. I'd rather have the team keep waxing stronger in unity than for us to start getting worried as to who can add what. Because if Martins come and don't deliver, that na double headache o. Let's hope for the best.

How prayer is to always do well, na. I hope Rohr will give opportunity to some players do well currently.

tbaba1234:
Kelechi is your highest scorer in the qualifiers. Even at that, he has been dropped to the bench. His last goal for Nigeria was not that far away.

Kayode did not play games in the summer. May, June, July were holidays.

The chinese league was on in June and July.

Martins is not on form right now. When he returns to form, bring back your argument.

1 goal and 1 assist after two matches in April, 2 goals after 3 matches in May, 3 goals and 2 assists after just 2 matches in June, an assist after two matches in July, in August no assist or goal after two matches, not available for selection in September, and an assist in the last game after two matches in October.

Which form are you talking about?

tbaba1234:
One assist since July.

He was available in August and scored no goals.

Martins was out for 4 weeks not 2 months.

Why don't you wait for him to regain form?

He played only 2 matches in July and had one assist. He only played two matches in June and had 3 goals and 2 assists.

His last match was on the 22nd of this month and he had assist.

Stop making it look as if he played the for the whole 3 months without an assist. That is a very big fat faty lie.

He wasn't totally available in August because he missed two matches. Prior to those two matches he had 3 assist and scored 2 goals in 3 matches.

Didn't you read 'almost 2 months'? He didn't play ball for 6 weeks.

Abeg, stop the lies.

Mickael2:
that's right. But if they don't, which I think they won't, we get to rub it in

Hahahahahah!

tbaba1234:
Regardless of the results, there is no present justification for inviting Martins.

He has one assist and zero goals since July.

There has to be strong justification for invitation.

How can someone who is out due to injury play not to talk of score or assist?

He was almost out for two months. He assisted just 5 days ago. Abeg, get your facts right before posting fallacious news. Abeg.

Mickael2:
And who is the agent? And who is the player?


Oga Forgiveness and Komekn, please you guys should shelve this talk about Martins for now, I am totally sure that after the next two games we will understand why we need these guys, for now just like me, let's be watching.

I just tire ooooooo. Make I how they will react against Argentina.

Agent Confesses- Eagles Coach Rohr Turned Down Big Money To Invite My Player

The appointment of Gernot Rohr has made it almost impossible for player agents to buy their way into the senior national team of Nigeria according to a player agent who spoke with Owngoalnigeria.com.

Since the coming of Rohr over a year ago, a lot has changed in the fortunes of the Super Eagles on the pitch, but more significant is the progress made outside the pitch.

” A lot has changed especially for us who are player agents, I don’t know about others but I use to have six players in the Super Eagles, some I paid for them to be called up, while some were there on merit”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

” I must confess I have not given money directly to any coach before, but there are guys who do the leg work and get the job done but with Rohr nobody wants to take such risk. His body language is enough to discourage you.

“Presently I have one player in the team and he isn’t doing badly at all‎, which is why he is still in the team, at a time I have a player who is now playing in a league not befitting for his standard.

” I tried using the Super Eagles to increase his market value but despite my big money offer, I was told in clear terms that Rohr works with his scouts who are mostly unknown. He will collect the player’s name and ask them to monitor”, he concluded.

@bolded is the point I have been making till date and I will keep doing it.

How some players get into the national team as bench warmers and from obscure leagues do spur my curiosity on such dubious acts but people think say I dey crazy.


Those who came from different backgrounds will find it very difficult to get into the system because of their norms.

I have studied the trend of things for donkey years before arriving at this assertions.

I still dey observe.
