Joebie:
Why is nobody talking about Matthew Olosunde of Manchester United?

So what about him?

tbaba1234:
Edile went to Man city for trials but the move did not materialize.

He spent most of his career in the lower divisions of spain and have been released now. He is a free agent.

OK I see.

I guess what caught up with his U17 team mates also caught up with him.

Joebie:
Need I bold "players showing lots of promise"?

And if you read carefully you will know that i'm implying for the purpose of camping not necessarily changing our starting 11.. Read my post again, slowly and carefully lol

Just for camping?
Please we need players that will contribute to our WC and AFCON qualifications either on the pitch or from the bench. It is not as if we do not have a team in place. We have a team already and any player that is coming in now must add value.

The coaching crew is doing what it can to secure the ones that are AVAILABLE and WILLING to represent Nigeria. And Rohr is not just inviting just to snatch them from England as you put it. He is inviting them based on necessity of using them to fix any position(s) we are lacking depth. That is the adding value I am talking about. For eg Aina and Ebuehi would definitely add depth and options to the defense. But what value will someone like Onyedinma add to the midfield? Remember we still have a lot of young AM/Wingers that have not even been considered. Eg Samuel Kalu, Henry Onyekuru, Obinnna Nwobodo(scored a brace today at away Gombe), Kelechi Nwakali.

If Rohr needs any player whether foreign born or locally born he will invite. If the player is not part of his plans/program then no invitation. Not just because we want to snatch them from England.

goldfish80:
I think Edile trained with Man city for awhile. He seems to have disappeared into oblivion.

Are you sure if this?

Cos last I enquired about him a couple of years back he was playing football under the Apogbon bridge in Lagos.

Joebie:
I personally will give special consideration to players not born in Nigeria who are showing lots of promise for obvious reasons.. Let me state it here. Should they become a hot property and England wants them, it will be hard for Nigeria to win the war. It's easier to win them over when they had met the SE family. b

How many can you invite at a time? Except we want to be parading different starting 11s for every game.

Danycrusoe:
don't know if banning fans from all stadia in the NPFL for a whole season will do enough good in curbing fans violence

If the fans are banned what will now add glamour to the games?

Danycrusoe:
Don't know, there are fillers on twitter that the Referee in the match between Gombe and Rangers had a phone on him while officiating and also received a phone call....

Nonsense. Worst still now, no more TV coverage so it is free for all mago-mago now.

Danycrusoe:
probably didn't do much to improve himself

Just like a host of others: Peaked at U17!

Danycrusoe:
2 penalties within ten minutes, I am Not surprised now Oladapo 2-2 Nwobodo in Gombe

No fairness in the NPFL at all.

Apart from the opposing 11 players, you have to face the fans and officials. Terrible is the least word to say.

Danycrusoe:
anyone remember Ademola Rafael, from the 2007 u17 set. he captained the final match against spain due to Haruna lukman's suspension. anyone remember him? he now plays for Abia comets in the NNL. icon4s, goldfish80, Bascovanveli, tbaba1234 and all the elders in the house

I remember him.

Little or nothing was heard of him again after that tourney. He did not even make it to the U20s.

Same with Mathew Edile.

komekn:
Why

I think they are in a better position to answer.

Certitude:
How bout Mikel. Is Ambrose really hated in here? I loved that guy before before. I fit like am again sha.

Were you here during that Oliseh-Siasia transition?

I mean 2017 AFCON qualifiers?

Every goal we conceded "na Ambrose cause am".

MysteriousAnn:
Wait a sec! You mean to tell me that there are more jamb applicants in Kano than in Lagos? Shior.

This is according to state of origin and not state of residence.

maidaboi:
the guy need a look in by rohr

Efe Ambrose, the most hated Nigerian player on nairaland.

goldfish80:
Lookman Haruna started coming to U17 camp 3 sets before he had a breakthrough in 2007. I believe he was made captain out of seniority having been in camp more times than other players.
This was made known to me by a confidant who trained with the team.
No surprises here.

Meaning that he remained a 17years old for 6yrs?

komekn:
To put it in context they are promising but yet to deliver, which may or may not happen.

When you consider Ryan Ssegnon is 16 years old played a full season in the championship as a left back and scored 5 goals. Every top team in the premiership has him on their shopping list. Price £20 million plus.

If you are good enough you will be given a chance. Just like Tega Abrahams now a top striker no longer just a top prospect.

We are Nigeria. We are not France, Germany or Spain.

Considering our level of football development, our leagues and administrative issues we are not at par with the world super powers.

I am not saying the boys have delivered. Delivered what sef?
WC or AFCON tickets? I have decided not to raise my hope too early on the team but what I do is as the team keeps progressing(of which they are) my expectations progress with them.

If you've followed my comments all these years on this forum you'll know I am not the type that
hype players any how.

komekn:
I would not want put too much weight on a friendly match. Indicative but not very conclusive of one's progression.

That game against Senegal says a lot about our progression.

I particularly like the fact that we were down and certain substitutions were made and that added bite to the attack which led to the equalizer.

maidaboi:
euen those that don't don't know how to speak english dey sing for there language, na school teach them? Bro music has talents

They may be illiterates but that talent and intelligence will always see them true.

Bucs Goalkeeper's PSL Debut Looming




https://level3.soccerladuma.net/cms2/image_manager/uploads/News/262154/7/13/default.jpg



Orlando Pirates’ Nigerian goalkeeper, Emmanuel Daniel, is said to be impressing the technical team with his performances in training and high work-rate. 



The young shot-stopper, who made the switch to Bucs from Nigeria’s Enugu Rangers, is seemingly making progress at the Soweto giants in the few weeks he has been with the club.

In the most recent game for Bucs, which was against Mamelodi Sundowns this past weekend, Daniel was included in the 18-man match day squad for Coach Kjell Jonevret and his technical team. 

The 23-year-old sat on the substitutes bench for Pirates and deputised for Jackson Mabokgwane as Bucs went on to lose 2-0 against the Brazilians.

“It wasn’t very surprising to see him (Daniel) making an appearance on the Pirates bench because he has been working very hard in training since his arrival at the club. He is a very good goalkeeper. It won’t be long before the supporters get to see how good he is when he gets a chance to play,” a source told the Siya crew.



Recent media reports from Nigeria have suggested that Daniel could be set for a call-up to the Super Eagles squad. He has done well as the number one goalkeeper for the Nigeria U23 side during his time with them.

Ex-Chelsea Star Mikel Makes Himself Available For AFCON Qualifier Against South Africa


https://allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/35822Mikel.png


Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel would have sufficiently recovered before Nigeria takes on South Africa in an African Cup of Nations qualifier, the Nigeria Football Federation have reiterated.

The Super Eagles skipper underwent surgery in England on April 29, which is expected to rule him out of action for a minimum of three weeks.

Mikel has been left out of the Super Eagles get-together in France, but the Nigerian Federation have revealed that he will be in the squad to face South Africa in a month's time in Uyo.

“The match is a month way and Mikel should be fit in time for the game,” NFF assistant technical director Lagunju was quoted as saying by scorenigeria.

“It’s important he’s part of the team because he is a driving force, a role model to many of the players. He’s leadership qualities are second to none.”

Both Mikel and Tianjin Teda have announced that the Nigeria star will begin his rehabilitation this week.

tbaba1234:
MRI is a lifesaver. African football will be better as a result.

Ghana who used to be Giants in under 17 soccer have not qualified for any tournament since MRI was introduced.

Honestly God bless the MRI. Kai

What ever you sow you shall reap. That proverb is always true. Hahahaha you cant cheat nature.

Photo: 35-year-old Nigerian man jailed for life in Cambodia for drug trafficking

A Cambodian court on Tuesday, May 8, convicted a Nigerian and Romania of cross-border drug smuggling, and sentenced both of them to life in prison.

Romanian man Adrian-Calin Varadi, 40, was caught on Aug. 14, 2016 when he arrived at the Phnom Penh International Airport from Brazil with 4.96 kg of cocaine hidden in his luggage.

Nigerian man Chukwuemeka Ibe, 35, was arrested later that day when he waited at his hotel room to receive the drugs to take them to neighboring Thailand.

The duo are charged with "illegally transporting the drugs" under the country's Drug Law, said a verdict read by Phnom Penh Municipal Court's Presiding Judge Im Vannak.

"The court decides to sentence each of them to life in prison and to fine them 40 million riel (10,000 U.S. dollars) each," the verdict said.

During a trial last month, Varadi confessed to the crime, but Ibe denied the charge, claiming that he did not know the package he supposed to receive was carrying drug.
Under the Cambodian law, the convicts have one month to appeal against the ruling.

Read that card he is carrying. He is 41 years old and not 35.

Wait ooo you mean Gh 900,000 is equivalent to our 65m?

They knocked off GHc10,000 from their currency. It should actually be GHc9,000,000,000 to N65,000,000
