You talk like that because you are sentimental. you don’t invite by comparison. You invite by reality on ground. If you are a coach and a player in your team is performing, will you drop him? Second question, if you were a coach, and a striker is still struggling to score his first goal for club, would u invite him? Consider the questions separately.

forgiveness:
If KC is not doing well in his club but he still gets the chance to play for the SE and 'performs', how do you know Kayode will not perform better in GWG if given the chance though he has not scored 'this' season since club performance is not the yardstick for call into D SE?
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 8:50am On Jan 06, 2018
The point is KC is performing for SE. That will keep him in SE until he starts to underperform. You don't have a case for Kayode's inclusion.
He hasn't scored. He is a striker. I am team performance.

forgiveness:
grin So, what do you except him to do in a situation he his not happy with his team mates?

If it is about performance he has done better than Iheanacho by far this season though he has no goals to his credit but his MOTM and his inclusion in the la liga team of the week speaks for him.

When I saw his expression in his club's last match, it was glaring he was not happy with his team mates. I understand because in most of the matches he played he would have scored if his team mates plays along with him but they would rather balloon the ball to the crowd than pass to him eventhough he was the one that worked the chances.


So, if it is about performance you think you can shade him then you're on a long thing because he did performed.


However, any player that wants to show his worth will not be content with reserve matches or warming the bench.

lol Kelechi is having a bad run in the EPL. Why is no EPL club interested in him? Bristol interest in Kelechi doesn't make the Championship great.
However, KC is doing well in SE colors.. That's the point.

You have said it all

Danycrusoe:
those videos are that of the NNL and basically NNL doesn't drive much supporters like the NPFL, I v gone to stadiums to watch both and I can tell u u can get at least 3k in any I NPFL match centre but u would struggle to get 500 at any NNL match centre.

Generally I still think publicity for our league is low, both on broadcast media and social media and the club's themselves are to blame I know some twitter handles of NNL and even NPFL sides that wouldn't update their page for their next match and they would only do so days after the last match.

I think the point above is y NPFL gets more crowd than NNL cuz the publicity the former gets is more higher than the latter.

the first thing to do is PUBLICISE the league, I believe this will bring fans. I never knew I had a course mate who had interests in the local leagues until I told him ikorodu United were playing Go round at the gateway stadium that Sunday. I was surprised he asked me not to forget to remind him whenever I'm leaving for the stadium and we went together.

Now imagine the number of fans who would v gone to see the games if only they knew.

but then I v a cousin who despite my preachings never followed me to the Osogbo township stadium to see osun united play he x aware of the league but he has a bad perception of it. now how do u convert this kind of a person? u need to repackage and increase the volume of publicity. there is this theory that no matter how poor a media content is "constant and consistent exposure of it to media users will make them get used and make it interesting to them".

my cousin always use the South African league as an example he has said it v4 that he would rather pay 5k to subscribe to dstv and watch the SA psl than spend 100naira to get a cab to watch NNL n NPFL matches at the stadium.

long story short, let's repackage the league we can start with the NTA deal advertise upcoming games with colourful graphics and the best goals from previous match centres like the epl does. I'm 90% sure if dx x done for at least 2 seasons there would be massive increase in followership of the league

let the publicity be consistent even when there is no match until weekend. on TV, Radio (the radio stations even do more of this than TV and newspapers ) and newspapers

Security should be increased then the quality of play should improve.

if u doubt that there x still interest in the league watch MFM home games on YouTube from 2016, watch Rangers etc even Remo stars had more fans that I tot. I saw vip stand with 500naira tickets filled, some brought their families.

during my visit to a remo stars home game, I heard a guy say at the popular side stand that "this is our league, this I can spend my money to watch not a league where my existence is not known to them". u v to see dx guys discuss about Abiola babe's, gateway united etc

Many are willing to come but they need a little PUSH and conviction

He is not performing. Nacho was performing when he got his first call up to SE. Nacho is still in the SE fold because he is performing in SE colors.

Tammy has to start performing. Rescind his decision to play for the 3 Lions publicly, and tender an apology for that red carpet talk, and wait after Russia as well.

oloriooko:
If Tammy desires to be part of SE i think he shpuld be welcomed at least he plays most times and not a constant bench warmer like Nacho.
Except Nacho moves out on loan this January then he's not fit to be in Russia and it will be a great injustice to other strikers scoring goals week in week out in other leagues. I wish Tammy can be bold to declare for Nigeria

Sorry we are on the same page.. I read what you said too quickly.

lexyman:
playing a false 9 will make us unpredictable , cos we dont really have a potent striker , even the Ighalo is so predictable .
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 11:32pm On Jan 03, 2018
Thank you!
We need a solid bench in defense. And it's not like Balogun is in a good recent form..

As regards the forward, let me tell you my honest opinion, I have given up on our search. We may add Onuachu if we want. You can only tell a good CF from his number of goals. And there is no much we can do unless someone starts firing goals without ceasing before June.

Hence, I will say playing with false 9s looks like our reality. And I believe we can be more dangerous that way. Could be a blessing in disguise.

Modified,

When Tammy starts performing and IF he decides to rescind his decision, we can reopen the debate.

Icon4s:
I have concerns over our striking department.

Just take a lot at the strikers we have in the fold. Only Ighalo and Nwakaeme seem to be getting the desired playing time. And of course we know how we rate the leagues in which they play. Iheanacho and Kayode that I felt by now should be the two weapons of destruction in the team are not really measuring up club- wise. Iheanacho's case is even worse.

As it is now I am open to any striker that can add value to the team. If we are clamoring for competition in the defense then we should also do same for the attack.

The other day joebie rolled out a list of defenders he wants to see in camp. Why all the emphasis on the defense? As far as I am concerned by the time Rohr screens out the best of the crop of defenders we have already we are good to go. I am not even rooting for any new inclusion in the defense.

Where I want Rohr to throw in competition is in the attack. Rohr and his crew should monitor Paul Onuachu and Junior Ajayi closely. They may turn out to be better than 1 or 2 of the strikers we have already.

As for Tammy. I think we should leave him out of the world cup. If truly he wants to play for Nigeria his loyalty should be tested with a trip to Libya or Seychelles.

Tammy Abraham's brother Timmy signs first pro contract

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/624/cpsprodpb/C2E4/production/_99429894_cbbe0e94-143e-49c8-91e0-2b9611aa594d.jpg

There are three years between Timmy (left) and Tammy. They couldn't resist twin Christmas tree pictures for their respective Instagrams though.
You know those families who are all massive high achievers?

The ones who send a family newsletter with the Christmas card? Yes, them.

Well, we reckon the Abrahams are one of them.

In 2017, Tammy, 20, signed a five-year deal at Chelsea, (currently on loan at Swansea), reached the semi-final of the under 21's Euros and made his debut for the England senior team against Germany.

And now, younger brother Timmy has signed his first professional contract at Championship side Fulham having only just turned 17.

"It's a very good feeling. Every young player wants to get to this point where they become a professional" said Timmy.

Nice info!

Danycrusoe:
one new player to watch out for, coming from the NNL is Micheal Ohanu, he scored a couple of hattricks last season and he is NNL player of the season (officially, he has an award to that effect) and he was the highest goal scorer with 22 goals.
he plays for kwara united

Another player from the NNL now in the NPFL is TOSIN OMOYELE he is now with Plateau united and he came in from Osun united, he hit double digits for the omoluabi giants I think he had 15 goals all season . he is actually easy to identify as he is almost an albino, but not fully his hair is not black and not fully blonde.

I will post the pictures of the 2 players if I lay my hands on them

Two things. Either you are translating your club form for country, or you are doing for country what you are not doing for club. Iheanacho is very much in contention for Russia.

[b]Profiling The Newly Promoted Teams For The 2018 NPFL Season[b]

December 30, 2017 admin 0 Comments Go Round FC, kwara United, NNL, NPFL, Yobe Deserts Stars

[i]written by Danycrusoe for Cheapgoals.Com[i]

https://i2.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/npfl.jpg

At the end of the 2016/17 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season, 4 out of the 20 teams dropped into the Nigeria National League (NNL) while four new teams took their places in the top division.

Remo Stars, Gombe United, ABS FC, and Kastina United were the new boys for the last season and out of the four only Kastina United escaped the drop back into the lower division with Remo stars (20), Gombe (19) and ABS (18) making up the last 3 while Shooting Stars FC completed the relegation zone.

The NPFL spots of the afore-mentioned teams were taken by the newly promoted teams which include former NPFL champions Heartland Fc of Owerri, Yobe Desert Stars of Damaturu, Go Round Fc of Omoku and Kwara United of Ilorin.

■ Heartland FC



Location: Owerri, Imo state
Last NPFL appearance: 2016
Home Ground: Dan Anyiam Stadium
Best NPFL Finish: 5-time winners (last triumph in 1993)

https://i1.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Heartland-fc.jpg


The Naze Millionaires were relegated in 2016 in controversial circumstances after the team abandoned its final league game against Plateau United.

A goal which gave Heartland a 2-1 lead was cancelled by referee Folorunsho Ajayi making the team abandon the game with 15 minutes left and was subsequently punished by the League Management Company (LMC) who awarded 3 points and 3 goals to Plateau United ensuring that the 2009 CAF Champions League finalists were relegated for the first time in their history.

However, the team only spent one season in the Nigeria National League (NNL ) finishing first on the Southern Division log after an impressive 61 points from 32 games which include 18 wins, 7 draws and 7 loss.

A finish in the continental places or the top 6 of the table at the end of the season wouldn’t flatter Heartland considering their pedigree in the league, and the Chibuzo Etuemena led team are highly unlikely to be involved in the relegation dogfight this season.

■ Kwara United

https://i1.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Kwara-United.jpg

Location: Ilorin, Kwara State.
Last NPFL Appearance: 2015
Home Ground: Kwara State Stadium
Best NPFL finish: 3rd in Super Four (2006)

While Kwara state fans may rue the drop of ABS, they might take solace in the promotion of Kwara United whose promotion ensured that top flight football continues in Kwara for at least another year.

The harmony Boys were relegated in 2015 and spent the next few seasons in the relegation wilderness before former Nigeria u20 coach John Obuh led the team to the promise land.

Kwara inspired by the high scoring striker and NNL best player for 2017 season, Micheal Ohanu who scored 22 goals, topped the Northern division of the NNL where they got promoted with four games to spare.

Going into the new NPFL season a lot will be expected from the young striker Ohanu to keep the team afloat with his goals, the former Ifeanyi Uba player scored 3 hattricks last season and a replica of such performances should be enough to see his team avoid immediate relegation.

With a manager who has NPFL experience after managing Sharks FC and Enugu Rangers in the past, Kwara United may fancy a finish in the top half of the table.

■ Yobe Desert Stars

https://i2.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Yobe-Desert-Stars.jpg

Location: Damaturu, Yobe.
Home Ground: Damaturu Township Stadium.
Last NPFL Appearance: 2001
Best NPFL finish: 20th

After 15 years of absence from topflight football, Yobe Desert Stars return to NPFL.

The Desert Stars had a terrible campaign to forget in their first and only top flight experience till date. The Damaturu based side won only 11 games in the 2001 campaign to immediately return to the lower leagues where they have since shuffled.

Consecutive promotions from the Nigeria Nationwide League to the NNL and from the NNL to the NPFL could give their fans hope of a decent Campaign, at least a better one than that of 2001.

Much wouldn’t be expected of the less fancied side as they are expected to the boo boys of the League alongside fellow promoted side, Go Round FC. A finish above the relegation zone will be considered a good season.

■ Go Round Fc

https://i1.wp.com/cheapgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Go-round-fc.jpeg

Location: Omoku, Rivers State
Home Ground: Krisdera Hotel Stadium
Last NPFL Appearance: NIL
Best NPFL Finish: NIL

The only debutant in the league for the 2018 season, Go Round FC are based in Omoku, Rivers state.

Go round secured promotion on the last day of the Southern Divison of the NNL campaign last season finishing second behind Heartland Fc. Relatively unknown, the stats don’t give good omen for the newcomers, of the 3 debutants promoted to the NPFL in the last 2 seasons 2 of them returned to relegation immediately.

Remo Stars, Ikorodu United and MFM were promoted for the first time in their histories in the last 2 seasons and only MFM managed to escape relegation in its first ever season in the NPFL. In fact only one of the promoted teams last season escaped relegation.

However, Coach Ngozi Elechi will hope to lead the team to a decent first top-flight season by avoiding relegation

Good development.
This is what some of us have been asking for.

BascoVanVeli:
Nigeria name inexperienced CHAN squad


Nigeria have named an inexperienced 23-man squad for the African Nations Championship ahead of the home-based Super Eagles' third successive tournament appearance.

Coach Salisu Yusuf revealed his team for the 16-nation championship on Tuesday, with Nigeria pooled in Group C alongside Rwanda, Libya and Equatorial Guinea for the tournament involving home-based teams.

CAF Confederation Cup candidates and seven-time Nigeria league champions Enyimba are the best represented NFPL team in the squad, having contributed five players.

Yusuf has largely opted for players untested at either international and CAF club continental level, with teenage El-Kanemi Warriors left-wing sensation, Nura Mohammed, who is yet to make his professional league debut, top of the list.

The present team is comprised largely of players who impressed at the 2017 Nigeria Professional Football League Super Six and in the training camp which held for a fortnight in Abuja.

Sunday Faleye, Timothy Danladi, Ibrahim Mustapha, Ikouwem Udoh, and Mohammed -- a player who was only recently promoted from El-Kanemi Warriors' feeders during pre-season - represent risky picks by Yusuf, who will be aiming to improve on Nigeria's group-stage exit last time out.

Goalkeeper and captain Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Stephen Eze, Kalu Orji Okagbue, and Rabiu Ali are the only players on the squad with prior experience at the tournament.

This represents a sharp contrast from the two previous Nigeria teams named in 2014 and 2016, squads which were dominated by players with full international caps and exposure.

Nigeria begin their campaign against Rwanda at the Stade Ibn Batouta in Tangier on Monday 15 January.

The Eagles play their second group game at the same venue against Libya on Friday 19 January and conclude their group participation against debutants Equatorial Guinea at Stade Adrar, Agadir on Tuesday 23 January 2018.
