Maja scores

TheSuperNerd:
Yes. He hit it against the post. Genk got another penalty but Dessers didn't take it. It was another lad and they have scored. I don't think Dessers is balling confidently today.

since the start of the season, he needs to jazz up or else they'll slam him to the bench

TheSuperNerd:
Naija Players expected/likely to be in action for their various clubsides today - August 30

✔Ligue 1

Josh Maja, Samuel Kalu (Bordeaux) vs Angers - Away game.

Henry Onyekuru (AS Monaco) vs Metz - Away game.

Moses Simon (Nantes) vs Nimes -

Chidera Ejuke (CSKA Moscow) vs Akhmat - Away game.

Onyekuru and Maja and Moses all start. I'm really rooting for Onyekuru and Maja, both of them have limited time to prove themselves and cement their place in their respective teams

You guys are over emphasizing on this ball playing of a thing.

true, he's a DM not a CM. The reason why he hasn't moved is because the clubs that can truly afford him don't really need a DM right now

andrewbaba44:
Gnabry for 4 years only 10 premier league game ,wasn’t called a flop till he played at west brom and it’s just 1 game ,now the English media called gnabry a flop because he managed only 1 game at west brom

I insulted the English media because they said he ain’t good enough for west brom and now dude issa world beater

We all know gnabry ain’t good enough to make arsenal team then and there is no argument about that ,or can you tell me who gnabry should bench at arsenal then ?

Same can’t be said of our players at porto and Awaziem looks like the only positive vibe there,but has any of those of our players at Porto do something impressive outside of Porto ?

Now can you tell me how many of them have done something special since leaving Porto ?

Awaziem can't even get a shirt in his favorite position for the SE and they think he's good enough for Porto

Aribo misses out as he's still recovering from injury while Balogun is only fit enough for the bench

charlesemeka85:
my dear the noise tire me buh i no wan talk before i will be branded a hater

she was being sarcastic

mostob:
oga...You have still not answered my questions... Why did Porto signed those players if they are not good enough? Why didn't they let go of Awaziem when Nantes came calling? At least he is not good enough and losing him for a peanut fee wouldn't have any effect on their team.
And ,forget past glories,how many decent players dey that team? No dey hype Porto anyhow bro. Are Atalanta and Lipzeig not below their level yet they are currently the football hotties.

Middlesbrough wanted to buy omeruo but Chelsea didn't sell when they failed to meet their value, does it mean Chelsea tot he was good enough for them? You should understand football is business, Porto had their selling price it's either that or no business. I can also say that if Nantes think he was that good why didn't they go all out for him?

andrewbaba44:
I don kuku talk my own but Dem no wan gree

I believe they know the truth on their mind

it's not even hard to see, why will the coaches decide not to play them? Nigeria dey owe Porto money? And Kome was correct, your performance in training will earn you game time no be if coach likes you or not

komekn:
Compare the way he has been looked at to Nwakali and quite a few others.

Consider the amount of attention given to him as well.

it's simple, really simple. Onazi a player on the last leg of his career, won't give us 5-10 years of service, we already know what he can/cant do, he's not bringing anything new to the team, and very likely won't play for us again unless he ends up being outstanding. Compared to Nwakali who can give us about 10years of football, can plug a hole in the team, a product of our youth team who is still struggling with his career and people eager for him to do well. Mr Kome if you want to be objective and truthful even you will agree with me that you are comparing oranges and apples.

Philosopher1979:
WHY A LATVIAN TEAM WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

It may sound Absurd but a Latvian team may win the champions league one day.
They are sourcing talents from football Academies in Nigeria and Africa.
Africans are genetically talented for sports.
This is how France used diasporan Africans to win the world cup.
There are now many Nigerian players flocking there at an alarming rate.
These Nigerian players are good but raw. What will happen in Latvia is that they
will simply refine then and win Uefa or the Champions League with them.
Africa's inability to manage human resources is funny. Other countries see it and take advantage.
The difference between home grown Africans and diasporan Africans (who were born in Europe) is
just the training and exposure.
This is probably why Valmeria does not want to sell Tolu Arokodare. They want to fill their team with blacks, win things with them and peharps naturalize them to play for the national team.
I dont know but we Africans dont know how to harness, use or develop talent. Human resources is something we dont understand

brooooooooooo

mostob:
Bro..when I heard stoke,I just weak. As in ..England second division fah.
There are teams in Spain,Italy and France that he can still play for na

he doesn't want to leave England

charlesemeka85:
Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has emerged as a summer transfer target for English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Sport Witness, Spurs have taken information on Ndidi and believe that the Leicester City star is an affordable target.

The 23-year-old starred for the Foxes in recent campaigns and would likely prove a tricky target to attain for Jose Mourinho’s side.

Ndidi has also been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal.

The talented midfielder linked up with Leicester City from Belgian club KRC Genk in January 2017.

He has featured in 120 league games and scored six times.

this story better be a rumour

Gattuso on Osimhen

“Osimhen is a striker who gives us various game alternatives, we have the ability to change our style.”

“He knows how to attack spaces, has physical strength and will certainly give us a big hand.

“Obviously my staff and I have tactical ideas in our heads. We have quality players and we will analyze how the team will line up.”

he's iS nOt a tEchNiCAl PlAyeR, hE OnlY hAS paCE

TheSuperNerd:
Was about to say same. Jihday calm down, lol. In the end, it is these guys' choices. England will always be more attractive than Nigeria as things stand. Those who will play for us will play for us. It is well.

I know we are at the bottom of the food chain, but saying stuff like regretting playing for us is disrespectful.

TheSuperNerd:
Chris. It is true we have options but having Saka will be another bonus too. It's not like we won't still be dangerous on the flanks without him but with him, we are assured of even stronger quality depth and his crossing weaponry.

And I have some news for you. With Eze's move to Crystal Palace close and probably almost done a close contact of mine got in touch with Rohr and asked about the possibility of Eze's switch to Nigeria. He asked b'cos we understand from previous narratives this is what Eze wanted to settle first (bagging an EPL move) before making a decision.

Rohr's reply was "We hope so".



Now that podcast with Nedum Onuoha I referred to that Ebere Eze had recently.

Look at part of what he said...

He said when he came to the Nigerian training camp, he thought " that is where he wanted to be" but after playing for the English youth team, he began to think that he might have regretted playing for Nigeria.

As Eze said this, Nedum Onuoha stopped him in his tracks and quickly corrected him not to use the word regret or say he would have regretted making an early decision to choose Nigeria. Onuoha told him that even he himself regrets not choosing Nigeria when the opportunity came and further implied that Eze should not make same mistake.

They said a lot. Onuoha just saved Eze's ass in that podcast bcoz he knows if Eze repeats it to the mainstream media, Naija media would jump on it and that would be the end of his chances with us. For now, it is clear the lad's heart is with England for now. Perhaps with time, he will have a change of heart. Maybe Onuoha's words will give him a tough rethink and maybe this EPL move will now see him arrive at a decision once and for all. I know we need more AM options but Eze must be willing too. If someone doesn't need us, then we don't need him too. But time will tell what his final decision will be.

Na ogun go kee him papa der, he can go suck Southgate balls we don't care

IDENNAA:
Oga, carry your bitterness and pains go choke. My opinion here should not torment your soul for this long.

I said that Ndidi has weaknesses in ball carrying abilities. Also said Agu is a fantastic DM and I prefer him to Ndidi. And I said Nwakali is the most talented AM we have. And I said Iwobi is trash...these are my assessment and you can chose to "not take me seriously" I don't even know you exist till today

you can't know I exist cos I don't chat shit, but everyone here knows you are part of the few resident clown we have

IDENNAA:
I disagree based on the fact that if same boy was loaned out to a non English league club he will fumble just like his borough peers....you get it.

I am yet to see any borough boy made it BIG outside England but I could be wrong and you would inform me.

OK sir

temi1290:
What do we have??

So because we have good players we should stop making effort to get more.

the person you are replying to once told us Azuibuike is better than Ndidi, don't know why you people are taking him serious

IDENNAA:
So , he is better than what we already have ?

no, Simon Kalu is much better than Saka

quickberry:
He was. He played for Juve and Dortmund at the time. Remember that those leagues( Serie A and Bundesliga) were rated above English premiership at the time.

couldn't nail down a shirt there tho

charlesemeka85:
Freddie kanoute won the apoy award but does it mean he was world class?

Adebayo won it to remember

andrewbaba44:
I didn’t speak of finidi George

I said amokachi is not world class and I stand on my words,I no sure weda you watch old clips pass me

Taribo should be world class

Sunday Oliseh na 50/50

Amunike too no get career so we can't tag him world class

Philosopher1979:
If you watch afcon 88 they got to the final and were denied by the refree who disallowed a goal and gave cameroon a penalty scored by Roger Milla.

Felix Owolabi was world class he played for shooting stars and they were one of the best teams in Africa
Haruna Illerika was world class
Henry Nwosu
Muda Lawal
Bright Omokaro
Christian Chukwu

lol, at this rate I'm sure Ayo Makinwa and Peter Ijeh them be world class too

andrewbaba44:
Amokachi is easily not world class

Some of the rest are just above average

Stop abusing world class biko

Most of these players no even last for football self

trust you jare, help me tell these reminince FC people. They only had 2-3 good years in football

quickberry:
Finidi George

Sunday Oliseh

J.J Okocha

Emmanuel Amunike

Dan D Bull

Rasheed Yekini

Kanu Nwankwo

Taribo West

Celestine Babayaro

They were all world class

if we drag this matter e no go end but make I allow am rest. Y'all just dash people world class anyhow

forgiveness:
Everton flop!?

You don't know anything.

Just say you prefer Ighalo and move on instead of downgrading Amokachi.

yep, everton flop.
The below was culled from his Wikipedia page
He remained at Everton until the end of the 1995–96 season, when he was transferred to Beşiktaş of Turkey for a fee of £1.75million. He had failed to make the impact at Goodison Park that many fans had been hoping for,[2] and had been unable to win a regular place in the first team, as Rideout and Duncan Ferguson were firmly established as Everton's two strikers at that stage

quickberry:
Picking Ighalo over Da Bull means you didn't watch him play.

tell me what's special about the bull that makes him too good, I dey hear

forgiveness:
Why didn't Nigeria win AFCON before the era of Odegbami?

What do you expect Odegbami to do when Godwin Odiye scored own goal in the last match we just needed a draw to qualify for 1978 world cup?


The same Odegbami was crucial for Nigeria winning the first international trophy in 1976. The African Cup winner's cup.

The same Odegbami got to the final of African champions League in 1984 but lost because the government moved the match from Ibadan to Lagos were they are not used to.

Odegbami was the first Nigerian to be nominated for African footballer of year. He came second and third during his football career.

To crown it all, Odegbami helped won the African cup of Nations for Nigeria for the first time in our history.

If you don't know why Odegbami is a legend and world class player ask the old men around you.

OK sir, Odegbami na the best ever player

elyte89:
Ode...me no dey write anything against any player in particular
And dt totti u mentioned made ur comment far from truth ...someone dt won d world cup(winning a world cup trophy is enough in ones career )...u think say world cup trophy na beans

he won the world cup late in his career, infact it was his last time with Italy and he was already world class long before then

charlesemeka85:
Amokachi na carpenter na

Utonwanne:
Wtf is Achebe

Hahaha,,,, Achebe hahaha

You won't kill me
