TheGoodJoe: Asensio showed what I am preaching. It is not playing time or experience that matters. What matters is insane belief in your abilities. Working your socks off on the training pitch every day until you are almost a demon in a jersey. When the chances come, you see the confidence, passion, determination and talent shine.
Regular playing time is not the factor of success. The other factors play a bigger role.
Congrats to Madrid. Although, CR7 should learn from the sending off today. Enough of the showmanship of taken off his shirt and getting needless red cards.
asensio will not be happy if he is treated the way pep treated kc will pep play kc in the final of champions league?
Joebie: haha.. Even Bonaventure was not the best in Ukraine. Solomon had rave reviews in Croatia last year. We make it seam that it's easy to shine in some of these countries.
if he want to be invited then he has to be the best denis is making a name in belgium now. when he was in ukraine he did well
Some people giving excuses for iheanacho is like the are afriad he will flop even when he has not play a complete 90 minutes please lets wait for aleast 5 more matches as for me i have confidance in him.
goldfish80: I hear Paulinho has joined Barcelona for €39M. What a career trajectory.. From Spurs - China - Barcelona. Who says playing in China is a death sentence?
Joebie: Exclusive – Partizan Belgrade To Unveil Theophilus Solomon Today, Picks Jersey Number August 12, 2017034
Serbian giants Partizan Belgrade will later today unveil their newly signed Nigerian forward Theophilus Solomon, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Solomon arrived Serbia yesterday and passed his medicals but there was no much time for the forward to be formally unveiled, which made the club to shift it to later today.
As exclusively reported by this portal, the 21 year old who was listed in the best 25 players in the Croatian top flight league last season while on loan to Istra agreed a season long loan deal to join the Serbian giants from HNK Rijeka.
Already he has settled for jersey number 17, one of the numbers which is vacant at the club that have won three and lost just once in the first four games of the new season in Serbia.

be the best in this type of league and i will take you serious
Icon79: I heard that Couthino to Barca has been a done deal for a while, and he could be unveiled by Wednesday. And they were mentioning about 120m Pounds Sterling. Which to me is freaking crazy, if true!
I mean, if they spend anything more that 50m Pounds on Coutinho, then Barca Board need their heads examined! First of all, Coutinho is injury prone. And he isn't even Barca-type player either. He would be a burst at Barca, mark my words. To me, Coutinho is a silly buy for Barca. They've already got two players much better at what he does. In addition, all the players being linked with Barca seem to be forwards and attacking midfielders. I mean, are they only going to play with forwards? If anything the positions Barca desperately needs to shore up are in the defence and the Defensive Midfield departmets!
Like I had stated before, my concern is that the Barca organization would, as usual, waste the Neymar's windfall on the players they don't really need. Barca would remain a force if they can spend the $260m Neymar's windfall on players like Eden Hazard, Marco Verratti, and Sandro. But unfortunately, their recruiters sucks, so expect them to strike out as usual.
O pari
last i check there was a barcelona thread o pari take your time ooh lol
Joebie: Dennis Bonaventure: Nigeria’s Next Big Soccer Star Posted By: soccerasson: August 06, 2017In: The DugoutNo Comments Print Email It’s an amazing era for football
We are in an epoch loaded with abundant young talent many being touted to achieve gargantuan levels of greatness. Nigeria is not left out
From Kelechi Iheanacho to Isaac Success to Henry Onyekuru, Victor Osimhen, Orji Okonkwo and Kelechi Nwakali and many more Nigeria has been blessed with a rush of talent between 18 to 21 years of age, a golden generation perhaps all touted to make it big a few years from now
To this elitist few we can comfortably add Emmanuel Dennis Bonaventure !
Born in Nigeria 19 years ago Dennis talent stood out at an early age and was one of the exceptional youngsters at the Football Academy Abuja while still only 15 and joining the Nigerian U-15 national team for an Eight-Nation Invitational Tournament in Mexico where he played alongside Kelechi Iheanacho, Chidera Eze, Taiwo Awoniyi among others before leaving the country a year later to the Ukraine
In the Ukraine with FC ‘Zorya’ the sensational midfielder, slowly developed an enviable profile for himself raking in 12 appearances for FC ‘Zorya’ in his season with three of those coming in the UEFA EUROPA League (although FC ‘Zorya’ failed to make it past the group stages of the EUROPA League. )
The then 18 year old got rave reviews from pundits across Europe for his performances against Manchester United (England), Feyenoord (Netherlands) and Fenerbahce (Turkey).
The reviews were also pouring in with Ukranian media highlighting his 5-star performance against Shahkter Donetsk in a game he was named in the Ukrainian premier league team of the week despite his team’s 1-2 defeat.
Wasn’t long after Club Brugge of Belgium came calling and won the youngster amid keen interest from the likes of Bourissa Dortmund
Dennis has been described as an exciting and electric player by those who should know, one capable of being the best in whatever league he plays
“Dennis is a player with great potential, he has made a lot of progress within a short time and proved every week as one of the best players in the league.” Said ex-Club Brugge star Sergiy Serebrennikov, who was involved in his transfer
“He is a lightning-fast striker with individual brilliance and also unpredictable.
He is ambitious and I am confident that he will shine in the Belgian league.”
Dennis has hit the ground running in Belgium from electrifying performances in preseason he has started the campaign proper like a true star scoring 3 goals in his 1st 2 competitive matches
He needed only six minutes to make his impact in the UEFA Champions League too
Blessed with unbelievable pace, strength and good dribbling abilities in addition to deft clinical finishing prowess, Dennis is every managers dream forward and although he has been criticized on occasion for his end product the youngster has put in the hard work and improved on his weakness
Nigerians should watch out for the player with jersey number 42.” Dr. Leonard Maduabum said when Zorya took on Man united in the UEFA Europa league
Dennis has been said to be an ambitious player and confirmed this himself when he told reporters in Belgium he not only wants to be the top scorer in Belgium but the best player as well
At the end of the season? Who knows? Its not beyond him
I tell ya, this nacho boy is going to be really special if he keeps working hard. The pass from Mahrez set him up for a one on one with the goalie but the pass to vardy was so very cerebral. Hate to say this but I can't think of many strikers that would lay that pass to vardy instead of going for goal. Certainly not Aguero , not even lukaku I don't think. If it was a SE striker they'd still be looking for the ball after the likes of IDEYE,Etebo or Musa send the ball to Australia.
you got this from cybereagles whats your moniker there sir
Joebie: Nwakaeme worked a full shift an scored the first of two goals for Beer Sheva in their 2-0 win over Ludogorets in the 1st leg of Champions Leagu qualification. Super Eagles midfielder, John Ogu was also on for Sheva for the entire duration but was cautioned in the dying minutes of the game.
In another match, Club Brugge currently lead Baseksihir of Turkey 1-0, thanks to Dennis Bournaventure
Humility017: Still don't understand why keep painting the lad black just to nail him... Sum up courage to tell us that you just don't like him near the SE. ...similar hatred you once had towards onazi and mikel. ...
Former Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper Dele Aiyenugba could be in line for a shock recall to the senior national team of Nigeria, owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Present first choice of the senior national team of Nigeria Carl Ikeme might be forced into a premature retirement as he has been diagnosed to be having acute Leukaemia, which has further deepens the goalkeeper crisis rocking the national team of Nigeria.
Coach Gernot Rohr used Daniel Akpeyi in the absence of Ikeme, but the Chippa United man failed to impress in the Eagles last game against South Africa which ended 0-2 in favour of Bafana Bafana in Uyo in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers.
Unsatisfied with Akpeyi’s display in the game, the coach is looking for experienced shot stopper ahead of Nigeria’s World Cup 2018 qualifiers back to back game against Cameroon in August and September, as he believes Dele Alampasu isn’t ready yet for a game of that magnitude.
Although the coach is in regular contact with erstwhile goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, he won’t be pushing him for a return as he has long left the door open for Enyeama to communicate to him when he is ready to return to the team.
If Enyeama fails to contact Rohr, the coach will switch to Aiyenugba who kept 33 games last season for Hapoel Ashkelon in the Israeli top division, following his move from Bnei Yehuda where he has been since 2009.
33 year old Aiyenugba last kept goal for Nigeria in 2011 against Guinea, a game Nigeria drew 2-2 , hence missed out on the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
Newly promoted German Bundesliga side Hannover 96 have extended the contract of Fabian Senninger which was due to expire on the 30th of this month by a further two years, meaning he is tied to the club till the summer of 2020.
However he will spend next season on loan to third division side Meppen a move which according to the manager of Hannover 96 Horst Heldt will help him develop into a first team player for the Bundesliga side.
Signed from Nike Academy last year, he went on to make 28 appearances for the U23 of the Bundesliga side last season with a goal and two assists to his name, a development which Heldst says he hope he maintains at Meppen.
”For Fabian’s development, the move to a third division side is the right step, because the games are considerably higher in quality than the regional league that he played last season. The intensity of the games with help increase his performances level”, the coach said.
Eligible for Nigeria and Germany, the recently returned 21 year old who is yet to be capped by any of the country he is Eligible for has voiced his desires to represent Nigeria ahead of Germany.
PROVERBZ: hello guys please make out time and watch this video I stumbled upon and let's here ur observation is he in the category of omjidje and dembele or not for me I think he is better
TheSuperNerd: Theophilus Awua is likely to return to his parent club Spezia in Serie B.
He was on loan at Inter Milan as we know but reports from checks I have made said he had less playing time in the 2nd part of the season for Inter Milan U-19s and was unable to attain the required number of caps that mandates Inter to pay the 2 million euros obligatory fee.
So having concluded the season, both clubs are expected to sort out his future with a return to Spezia the most likely outcome for now. Inter still opting to buy him based on his excellent showings in the first part of the season for Inter U-19s is still a possibility shaa... but time will tell overall.
He has been scouted by a number of clubs in Italy shaa.... but a return to Spezia looks like his best bet.
Awua got some rave reviews and a few section of observers who follow Inter u-19s who won the Italian U-19 Primavera with Awua also contributing, opines that Awua got Kante-like Potentials as a CDM.
So that is it My Good man.
And yeah... Your boy, Bonaventure... is doing great.
The fine form of Dennis Bonaventure at his new club Club Brugge continued this evening as he scored twice in their 3-0 win over Oleksandria in a pre season game played in Holland.
The Nigerian has scored in his last two games for the team he joined one month ago from Zorya in Ukraine, and he picked up from where he left off with the opening goal for his team in the 19th minute of play.
Bonaventure grabbed his brace ten minutes after the restart to power his side to a big 3-0 win over the top division Ukraine side as they step up their preparations for the UEFA Champions League Qualifiers.
The 19 year old had a breakthrough season at Zorya last season in Ukraine as he was ever present for the team in their domestic and European games in what was his fist full season as a professional footballer.
Nicknamed the “Nigerian Neymar ” all eyes will be on him when Club Brugge begin their quest for honours this season as he is expected to play a key role for the team in their bid to wrestle the league title from Anderlecht.
