Write me a paragraph about what you like about Ideye's contribution tactically. What does he bring to the table? I can equally make a case for Anthony Ujah. Ideye is not the kind of experience we need in the team.

komekn:
Huh

I do not dispute what you are saying 28 games and 6 goals is not great. However, he does not play for Nigeria as out an out striker. So as a goal tally it is not that bad.

However, when he does play he makes a good positive contribution.

Considering his club form at what we can describe as top clubs not the creme de La creme of Europe but top league clubs in Europe he has done well. I mean 43 league games and 23 goals for Olympiacos is far from easy. That's why he got his big money bags move to China.

I do feel we are too quick to write off some of our ageing starts too quickly. Gyan for Ghana is still cutting it to some degree. I feel a better mixture of young and old would be better.

I do suspect that our NFF officials are trying to make arrangements and will impress upon Rohr options that are not to our best interest.

Consider Defoe who was written off by England and the EPL has just signed a £130k a week deal with Bournemouth and is back playing for the 3 Lions. Defoe is 2 years older than Obafemi 6 years older than Ideye and 6 years older than Efe Ambrose.

I see players in completely dead leagues being considered when our old guard tried, tested and some who are at top clubs are being ignored.

If you are not cutting it in your club with very limited exceptions like KC at City. You can't be invited to the SE.

Osimhen has played possible 10 minutes of football for lowly struggling Wolfsburg in two games and he is in the SE. That's simply not fair and sends a wrong signal when there are players who are cutting it week in and out for thier clubs.

You are the coach at the top, their coaches turn to for the template of deployment.

Most of our players that are skillful & pacy are always deployed to the wings once they move abroad. Regardless of their former position. While the ones that are either skillful or pacy end up defending. But if you are clinical & technical on the ball with the strength, then you get the number 9.

uwc. Which match up would u like to see in the final?

TheSuperNerd:
Sir Joebie..... Thanks for the mention. Roland Garros..... phewww! Well, we'll see...

They are both right wingers and are both based in Belgium. Easy to make comparisons.

Chrismario:
OK ooo..... If you say so.

I don't understand the bolded

I think it is a perfect marriage. He loves Arsenal and Arsenal loves youth. Regular playing time at the onset is not guaranteed. But he will hit the ground running in his first season -- I'm confident.

Meanwhile, Kalu has new direct competition in Bonaventure.

I'm hoping Moses Simon's move to France materializes

Chrismario:
I don't know y I'm little afraid about *our messi* going to Arsenal.
I tink going to mid table team would av been more better.

Good move for Bonaventure
Hop he lights Belgium very soon

Problem with Theologians is they they think they have more authority to speak and have the best interpretation of the Bible. All you need is personal Bible study and the helper, the Holy Spirit to make accurate application of the Bible. Just like the Scribes they were learned in Jesus's time but they fell short spiritually. The way of God is not the way of man. The Bible can be interpreted in ways that contradicts. Only our personal study of the Word and the help of the Holy Spirit can help us discern what is correct and incorrect in interpretation. Clerics can guide just as they can also misguide.

Triton1996:
Rev Ogedengbe a renowned cleric and General Overseer of Overcomers Minitries Abule Egba Lagos in this interview x-rayed the anointing service saga between Lagos State Governor’s wife and the Chaplain of Christ The Light Church which belongs to the State.
Question: Can we say the first lady Lady commiteed sacrilege during the particular anointing service as alleged by Pastor Adeyemi
Ans: That is pure fallacy and totally unbiblical, she has committed no sacrilege niether did she commit any thing close to it. Do people know what sacrilege means? I am a theologian and i can authoritatively tell you that she has done nothing close to that. Did she desecrate the temple? Did she desecrate the altar of God? Did she bring anything abominable into the house of God? If she has done nothing of such, I think people who speak to the media should be mindful of the judgement they pass on others in the public.
Question; So what is your own reaction to the whole crises sir?
Ans, There is no crises anywhere, the government has the power to hire and fire, and that exactly is what the government has exercised in the sacking of Pator Taiwo. Besides, due process were followed, so I think it is just a question of employer to employee.
Question: Is it proper for the government to sack on the basis of disrespect?
Ans:
I don’t think this is correct because i have known Mrs Bolanle Ambode for some time now and she epitomises decency, decorum and absolute humility to be sincere with you. She is not that kind of person that will take the things of God with levity and i know she wouldn’t have asked the govenment to sack the man, i know her that much.
This is not the first time the issue of sacking will emanate in government house, the former governor of Lagos Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) sacked one Pastor Adeleke for some reasons and nothing happened thereafter, no body raised alarm, that same government even sacked some islamic clerics, more than one occassion and nobody shouted, so what are we crying about.
Question: It is believed that once you are in God’s house every one is equal, don’t you think she should have acted along this line?
Ans:
The Bible asks us to give honour to whom honour is due, this does not preclude men of God, and i think the first lady deserves respect from whoever it is that is ministering on that podium. The same measure of respect given to her husband whenever he comes around should also be accorded her, that i think is the fair thing to do. The holy book said so much about it. I think the whole thing is a plan from the pit of hell to embarrass the first family. I will appeal to body of Christ not to allow themselves to be used.

Nigerian Neymar Dennis Bonaventure Join Club Brugge

Highly rated 19 year old Nigerian forward Dennis Bonaventure has left Ukrainian side Zorya for Belgium giants Club Brugge, the club has announced.

According to a statement on the website of Club Brugge, the forward signed a four year deal at the Jan Breydel Stadium, with former Brugge fans favourite Sergiy Serebrennikov describing him as one of the best players in the Ukraine league.

” He has quickly evolved and showed himself among the best players in the Ukrainian championship this season”, he told the official website of Club Brugge.

Nicknamed “Nigerian Ney‎mar” the Abuja Football Academy graduate had a breakthrough season with Zorya where he played in all of the competitions they were involved in including the Europa League, playing in both legs of their clash against Manchester United.

He made 22 appearances and scored six goals last season for Zorya from his position as a wing forward in what was his first full season as a professional footballer after his move to Europe two seasons ago.

When a player says his dream is to play for Arsenal, and gives a "come get me" account of himself. I'm not done yet. Then he gets his wish. #Epic This is the top move of the decade by a Nigerian IMO

EmmGee:
He is in safe hands with wenger.

He will definitely give him opportunities

Welcome development. He should go to neighboring Germany.

tbaba1234:
Looks like Kayode might be moving to Bayer Leverkusen.. There is also interest from Spartak Moscow.

Bayer Leverkusen will be a great move. More Nigerians playing in the top 4 leagues.

I don't know if Rohr will be sticking to our usual 4-2-3-1 going forward.
But if we based our argument on a specific formation we will have a more concrete discussion.

OMANBALA1:
I am not saying Onazi has been displaced but he is sitting on a thin ice. As it stands now neither Ndidi nor Karo can be benched ...Ndidi is shooting for world class while Karo the workhorse don't seem to be stopping anytime soon ,which will make Onazi the weakest link while Agu lurks around for a slip.
I like Onazi fighting spirit, he reminds me of Olofinjana with better ball sense but Onazi is not a baller. After that performance against Argentina at the last world cup before he got injured Onazi has never remained the same. Dude,took a dip in form. And this doesn't only apply to Onazi,Omeruo needs to sit up,Musa has already been relegated to the bench and Echiejile might not be lucky for too long...hehe. And if Iwobi can anchor that attacking midfield role then Mike might not be so safe....hehe . I don talk my own ooo

We are saying the same thing

Icon79:
Nah, I think he was referring to Novak Djokovic .... not Jelena Jankovic. But they are both Serbians sha.


O pari

Oh yes.

do4luv14:
you mean SERENA win the AUSSIE dis year,,,

Nobody is questioning Onazi's credentials. But in this game u always have to watc your back unless u have achieved Messi/Ronaldo status where you literally can influence player selection. The truth is Onazi has loads of competition unlike Echiejile for example.

Kog45:
Hmmmm first it was Ndidi now Agu,u guys forgot that Onazi has paid his due in d national team and still a force to reckon with

Do u guys think it's easy for Rohr to accommodate Onazi and Ndidi in his starring line up.Agu w go extra mile to break into that team coz Onazi is already there,Ndidi an emerging star,Etebo a workaholic.

Well I'm only considering that she made the final in the Aussie Open this year, and only her sister stood between her an the title

do4luv14:
you are forgetting that age will play a rule, allsame its my sincerely prayer she wins it and US open too

Lol

do4luv14:
same with IGHALO too, from one of their club to anoder,

I won't be surprise if they are the owner of IGHALO present club in china

Yes. She has no excuse not to win a Grand Slam title this year, since Serena is on a year long 'maternity leave'

do4luv14:
nah she and her sister be my stars for ladies side, so VENUS is

Lol Uche was bought by Watford from Granada and loaned back to Granada

BascoVanVeli:
Lol @ponzi. They don't own Granada any more, they sold it to a Chinese owner. Uche is only there on loan from Watford.

At least Venus dey na.. who be your fav for the women side?

do4luv14:
chaiii VICTORIA sef,
and KEBER don lago..... Omo na wa oooo.... Original wa

Yes you are correct

Chrismario:
I tink they owns udinese also

Victoria is out due to pregnancy, just like Serena. She is expected to be back before Wimbledon.

do4luv14:
chaiii nah upset wan dey reign ni

wat abt VICTORIA AZENRAKA

That Pozzo (Ponzi ) family sef, their own too much. They own both Watford and Granada. So in reality it was just like switching the player. Same applies to Uche Agbo.

Success was progressing well in La Liga. He has played against the likes of Real Madrid and did not disappoint. His development would have been better there. La Liga suits him better.

Loogan:
Bro every young talent goes through that patch of inconsistency, mind you it is his consistency that has landed him in a premier league club as a record transfer...Every player needs time to perfect his craft, he would bounce back next season

Only I have made that comparison once on this thread

tbaba1234:
Schalke is hot on the Messi of the Belgian league!... Onyekuru...

That is how one German paper described Onyekuru.. Messi of the Belgian league!!

Na error in punctuation.

Icon4s:
What kind of headline is this sef?

As if the four players dropped are Ogu, Victor Moses, Omeruo, Akpeyi.....

French World Number 11, Jo-Wilfred Tsonga is on the verge of an upset. World Number 91, Renzo Olivo currently lead the fourth set 5-4.
Scores: Tsonga vs Olivo 5-7, 4-6, 7-6, 4-5

Since he achieved the record of holding all four grand slam titles on 3 different surfaces at once, he has lost to every Tom Dick and Harry. Anyway lets not make this a Tennis thread. Djoko is definitely among the top 3 active players based on stats.

do4luv14:
no blame me joor and jst remember am, nah the guy give REFEAL NADAL, and my star man ROGER run for their money

o pari master

I think people's issue with Ideye is he has been tried, retried, dropped, dusted, tried again, ran the rule over again and again.. hahaha.. and now he is in China. Seriously Success dey fall my hand. He use to be my main man.

komekn:
On current form is Isaac Success better than Ideye and if you answer honestly then that's who in my opinion he can replace easily.

WTA top seed Angelique Kerber also knocked out in the first round. The German was beaten by Elena Makarova of Russia in straight sets (6-2, 6-2).

Former Super Eagles captain receives award

A former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo has been presented with an award for his contribution to football development in his State.

It was also gathered that the duo of Victor Ezeji, a top figure in domestic football circles as well as an astute journalist, China Acheru were all appreciated by the Rivers State University Student Union leadership.


Just barely a year ago, Yobo was given a grand exit from professional football by a stellar collection of football stars and legends during his testimonial in Port Harcourt.



Illustrious African stars Samuel Eto’o, Sulley Muntari, Stephen Appiah, Lomana Lualua and Laryea Kingston were joined by former Nigeria players Nwankwo Kanu, Austin Okocha, Mutiu Adepoju, Austin Eguavoen and Ben Iroha to celebrate the 101-cap Yobo.

A Team Nigeria composed of current footballers Vincent Enyeama, Ahmed Musa, Emmanuel Emenike, Godfrey Oboabona, Efe Ambrose, Joel Obi was coached by the late Amodu Shaibu and Samson Siasia.

They took on Team World led by Eto’o and coached by former Everton and Manchester United manager David Moyes, who was assisted by former Nigeria youth coach Fanny Amun.

Culled from F C Naija . com

JANKOVIC is yet another player. But at least we know who he is referring to. If I see an ardent follower of the game I will know.

Icon79:
Omo. you're destroying that name!

Stop it!!

O pari
