I agree. But I will wait to see both in the EPL first.

Onomah is an all-rounder mildfielder. Eze is not bad. Both can add to the team.

The Michael Olise to Leeds rumor

Exclusive: Leeds submitting offer for French midfielder
By Wayne Veysey -4th August 2020 at 12:00pm118

Leeds United have set their sights on signing another Reading midfielder this summer in Michael Olise, Football Insider understands.
The Whites are already in the race for the Royals star’s teammate John Swift, but face strong competition from Sheffield United.
A Leeds source has told Football Insider that France youth international Olise is also firmly on their radar as they line up a move.
Victor Orta and his recruitment team have been tracking the highly rated 18-year-old for some time and are ready to offer him the chance to move up to the Premier League.
Leeds are keen to exploit the Reading cash crisis following the pandemic as they work on two potential deals.
As revealed by Football Insider at the start of last month, Chris Wilder’s side have already tabled a bid for Swift of between £3-5million after his stellar campaign in midfield for the side who finished 14th in the Championship.
Olise is certainly one of Reading’s prize assets and he is attracting interest from the elite after graduating from their youth team to establish himself in the senior side.
The central midfielder, who can also play in attacking midfield, started 13 of their league matches this season and was a regular for the final third of the campaign.
Capped by France at Under-18 level, he has how accumulated 27 first-team appearances for Reading.
Olise is contracted to the second-tier outfit until the summer of 2022.

Agu is not bad na, even Azeez. Rabiu will hold his own against Comoros.

Utonwanne:
Draw gị na onye?

The movie midfield tire me for eyes

Reminds me the day Oliseh used the scammer, Paul Onobi

Onomah is okay. I rate Ebere Eze higher.

Utonwanne:
This team will lose disgracefully to Comoros

IMO

Will do!

Edopesin:

forgiveness:
Onomah is a baller. Forget!

"I'm so happy that Victor is coming in. It is such a big team and an important and difficult league, if not the number one tactical and defensive league in the world," said Nwankwo.

"You know, it is one thing watching from the outside, another thing is actually playing from the inside. But I'm glad Victor is coming into a team that plays football and it will be very, very important for him.

"He will definitely grow. He will never be the same player again -- that I can assure you. He will grow as a person, he will grow as a player, he will grow because Napoli is a really good team -- and the league, too."

"We will score more goals, united we stand. He will do it for Napoli and I will do it for Crotone,"

"Personally, I don't set goals. The only thing I set out for myself at the start of the season every year is just to do better than I did last time. So that means that next year will be more difficult for me because now I have to do better than I did this year."

"I'm glad now we're growing, when I came only Joel was here, with Orji Okonkwo also in Bologna, but not playing so much. Then we had a couple of lads in the Serie B. But now we are growing and I'm looking forward to meeting all the guys next year in the Serie A," said Nwankwo.

"That will bring in more Nigerian viewers back to the league. Not just only about the Juventus and Inter Milan games, but now at least you will watch every game because you have your guys representing you everywhere.

"And it's also good to have the guys around. Once in a while for sure we will meet up. After games, during games, we can talk. We can also help each other one way or the other. I think it's a good thing and I hope more guys come in as a well."

that your last line weak me

komekn:
I have said this before statistics is only half the story not the full story.

Statistics are indicative and not conclusive.

Do you know Zaha statistics in some areas are not impressive but without Zaha Crystal Palace would probably be battling with relegation.

There are no stats to measure how a player drives his whole team forward, influences the team positively and is the center of what they do.

You need to watch players in full games and if you can in training to get a more comprehensive picture.

If you go right back l said that out of Eze, Oviemuno in my opinion Tega was the best. However, when he lost form and all the issues with Tottenham plus having knee surgery, l kept quite there was nothing to report.

But now he is back doing what l have always known him to be capable of doing.

Finally, he doesn't eat fish and chips it's Ukodo.

Warri go say, "at all at all na ee bad". goodbye Brentford! You will live to fight another day.

na so!

maidaboi:
well deserve
Pls let them hold it tight

See goal oh!!! hahaha

gen gen gen.. extra time

Josh Onomah's stats so far. I hope to watch the second half.

I can ignore this one again.. when I posted the last lineup you where looking for another argument, while others saw it for what it is.. Is there a day I will find you here not fighting? Please prove me wrong tomorrow.

IDENNAA:
You are cunny and dishonest, full stop. And there is no dignity in that, nwokem! You know your homeboy has been acting out of character and order but you are busy fishing for peoples reactions. Are you both from the same "town" ?

Everything you have accused me of has always turned out to be an irony.. as well as the bolded.

Modified
On the contrary you take me really seriously. Which is why you keep digging something out of nothing. I don't get why you are so provoked. Anyway, I think I get it, but I'm not too sure.

ChrisKels:
That joebie boy has always been coming across as cunning, dishonest and idiotic with his pettiness called judgment, so I don't take him seriously

haha.. na who dey insult who? do you even believe your lie?. kwantinue!

modified
And please leave Nerdie alone.. I know he doesn't have an issue. if he does he can definitely challenge me by himself

ChrisKels:
But you are always guilty of this. We all know the stupid games you play after insulting Thesupernerd just to be able to come out of your shell

e still dey pain me eh

Olulong:
Mehn Alaba sha

if na banter, you will see a change the following day. but na lie oh. Some people go to sleep with it, maybe even dream about it. haha

Subzero047:
Ad hominem is not really banter

kai. Alaba!!!!! See World Class LB
We still dey find better LB for how many years now..

Edopesin:
Meeehn Alaba and Tammy Abraham, especially that Alaba
We moved on sha

that your last line na the koko

Edopesin:
Seems the new trend here is to insult someone and apologize only after the other person starts firing back so that people will coarse him to do the same

It's funny we all know the real culprits here but still caution those that were at the receiving end

There's a very bold gap between throwing point blank/outright insults and joking around, You cannot always hide behind "Joking around"

Peace

SUPER EAGLES SOAR TO FOOTBALL GOLD

Global giants, Brazil and Argentina started as the hot favourites for gold in the men’s football tournament, with squads packed with famous players. Nigeria, by contrast, seemed to be in a state of disarray. Their preparations for Atlanta had been affected by a political dispute that saw the national team withdraw from the African Cup of Nations, and then further hampered by seemingly endless arguments about who should be included in their Olympic squad.

Having said that, the “Super Eagles” did have considerable international pedigree. In addition to their senior team reaching the of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, their youth team had won the FIFA U17 World Cup a year earlier. with a number of the players who had contributed to that success had since being promoted to the senior squad. And despite the difficult preparations for the Olympics, they quickly rediscovered their cohesion and started the tournament with victories over Japan and Hungary.

Defeat to Brazil in their final group stage match did not prevent them from qualifying for the quarter-finals, where they beat Mexico to set up a rematch with the Brazilians in the semi-finals. Suddenly their chaotic build-up to the tournament seemed like a distant memory, and they now had their sights firmly targeted on a medal.

However, such hopes looked to be diminishing as Brazil opened up a 3-1 lead, and Nigeria squandered a penalty. But then with just quarter of an hour remaining, a long-range shot from Victor Ikpeba reduced the arrears and, in a tumultuous final minute, Nwankwo Kanu scored a superb goal to bring the scores level. Galvanised with renewed self-belief, the Nigerians now went in pursuit of victory. Kanu scored again early in extra-time, which was enough to earn a dramatic 4-3 win and a place in the final.

The only thing now standing between them and the gold medal were Argentina. It was a daunting challenge, and one made all the more difficult when Claudio López gave the favourites an early lead. However, the Nigerians did not lose heart. Celestine Babayaro equalised; and when Hernán Crespo restored Argentina’s lead from the penalty spot, the Super Eagles bounced back again, as Daniel Amokachi made it 2-2.

Then, with less than two minutes left to play, Nigeria got a free kick in a dangerous area. The ball fell to substitute Emmanuel Amunike and he hammered home to secure a truly remarkable victory. The team that had arrived in a state of disarray, went home as Olympic champions.

A source was quoted without a link. From my first checks, I couldn’t verify it. I will dig further. But if it is true, it is something for the PATRIOTIC crew to think about. That said Dessers was very clear, he did not think he stood a chance with the Belgian NT. That means if he sees a real chance with them it will be a hard choice at least.
But it’s funny seeing someone who aome expected will be maybe in the 2nd or 3rd in the pecking order among the strikers in the SE fall down sharply in some people’s minds just because of this unverified news.

Why will suddenly Dessers think it will be hard to break into the Super Eagles? What has changed between the time he seemingly committed to us and now?

We seem not to accept the reality that the SE/Nigeria is not an attractive brand. There are no short cuts to success in this regard as well. Until we do the right things from the home front, we will be largely seen as a second option.

Blueelf:
What is it I am hearing?

That desserts is rethinking his Eagles decision...

Well if true, good luck to him

Very balanced and mature post

Kog45:
Kai my man,i think we need to take things easy.Tammy as young man has done well this season,with 15 EPL goals.

Hmmm in his entire life he can't achieve what Osimehn has achieved,common man transfer fee is not achievements and what a player is earning is not achievement but trophies and and personal record like Best Africa player,highest goal scorer or world best etc.

Osimehn has a lot to prove as a player and I want to say I see him going higher if he put his head straight.Napoli is just the beginning for the young man to explode.He has what it takes to be the best.

Oh Tammy,i still rate the young man,scoring 15 goals this season for a club like Chelsea no be small thing my man.

I wish both successful career cos they haven't started,this coming season in seria A all eyes would be on Osimehn and Tammy would work his socks off to be a starter in Chelsea.

Nike Zoom Freak 2 sneaker inspired by Nigeria's uniform is revealed
Vinicius Voutsinas | July 24, 2020 | Portalrapmais

Giannis Antetokounmpo's newest signature sneaker is almost here.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has established himself as one of the biggest and best players in the entire NBA. Last season, he won the MVP award and it looks like he is in the mood to win the award again. 2019 was a huge year for other reasons, as Giannis won his first signature sneaker with Nike .

This sneaker was called the Nike Zoom Freak 1 and appeared in dozens of colors that many fans are still proud to wear. The last few months have been filled with Zoom Freak 2 teasers and are now finally being released.

The inaugural colorway is being called “Naija” and featured a white, black and green top. Nothing has been officially said, but tennis brings clear inspirations to the shirt of Nigeria's national football team, which has the same name “Naija” and was hugely successful. The reference makes perfect sense, since Giannis is the son of Nigerian parents.

This bulky model is incredibly colorful and will certainly stand out. The official images below give us our best appearance, and we can only imagine what types of colors we will have from the model in the not-so-distant future.

As for this “Naija” offer, you can expect it to come out on Saturday, July 25th.

Nike Air Max 95 gets version in honor of Nigeria
by Vinicius Voutsinas | July 29, 2020 | Portalrapmais

Nike presents yet another shoe influenced by the shirt of the Nigerian football team.
With one of the most recognized uniforms in the world of professional football in recent years, Nigeria's football team has become a popular icon for its presence on the pitch. Dressed in neon tones and trendy prints, the team probably set the tone for the sportswear style and it seems that this influence is reaching even in the main Nike releases.

The Air Max 95, as well as the Presto, are receiving the vibrant “Naija” tones complete with commemorative insignia along the insole. The side profile, whose layers mix various materials of different textures and shades, cascades down with illusory line patterns and an infinity of different geometric shapes.

Elsewhere, the black midsoles are marked with corresponding green air units and toes of similar dark suede fabric. The languages ​​choose the same neutral point, albeit in a ripstop, contrasting with the eye that remains with ties whose saturated green fabric carries even more symbols.

Take a look at the official images below and expect a launch to hit Nike.com soon.
