*clearing throat*

Out of his 16 shots at goal (I no count the two goals he scored with his head oooo)

Only 4 were off target, 2 were blocked by the Defenders though goal bound, 2 were saved by the keeper, one hit the post and 7 were buried into the net.

Out of 7 long range shoots from outside the box 18, 3 were off target, 1 was brilliantly saved by the keeper and 3 were buried into the net.


How come some said his shooting, strikes and scoring ability are poor?

Una sure dem watch the match?

Besides, his ball control, stamina, dribbling skills, pace, ability to defend, long range pass, through pass, ability to transform defense to attack etc connotes with the modern day attacking midfielder. Three gbosa for Ajagun!

West Ham Insider – Talks Are Back On With Iheanacho After Man City Lowered Fee For Buy-Back

https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ACB1D86E-A22B-4FE5-8F14-DF71F94D17D4-3258-000000F7747799E8.jpeg

A highly placed sourced in the camp of West Ham has revealed talks with Manchester City Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho is back on after City lowered their demands.

Known and respected for having inside knowledge about West Ham transfer stories, and issues about the club @ExWHUemployee told Man City Watch, that West Ham resumed talks with the 20 year old after City lowered their fee for the buy back.

Iheanacho’s proposed move to West Ham has dragged on for months despite the speed at which talks progressed at the initial stage, which Man City insistence on a buy back clause said to be holding the deal.


Q : What’s the status on Kelechi Iheanacho to West Ham? A few weeks ago it looked a dead cert, now Leicester are odds-on at the bookies and things have gone a little quiet. I understand City’s demand for a buy-back clause could be causing problems?


Answer – The problem with Iheanacho, like you say, is that City have demanded a buy-back clause to be part of the deal.
The player himself doesn’t want to leave and this is also seen as a way of appeasing the transfer. The buy-back clause is said to be quite low and with Kelechi making it clear he only really wants to stay in Britain so he can obtain citizenship – and this has made us rethink our offer. A bid has been made and we are still keen but further negotiations are still required.



Q – West Ham are also keen on Olivier Giroud of Arsenal. Would it be the end of your interest in Kelechi if you sign him up or is Bilic after multiple strikers?

Answer – I think Bilic would like to sign both Giroud and Iheanacho. We struggled massively last season for not having enough forward options throughout the campaign, with first choice Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho spending more time on the treatment table than the pitch! If both forwards could be obtained for around £20m-£25m then I think we would sign both seeing as we offered £35m for one forward last year.

Dennis “Nigerian Neymar ” Bonaventure Dazzles In Open Session With Club Brugge

https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/IMG_3123.jpg


Highly rated 19 year old Nigerian forward Dennis Bonaventure popularly referred to as “Nigerian Neymar ” stole the show in Club Brugge open training session that took place yesterday.

Bonaventure joined the team from Ukrainian side Zorya last month after a storming first professional season in Europe, as he starred in their Europa League campaign as well as domestic games.

Known for his pace, strength and dribbling, he resumed with the team last week and in their open session his quality was very evident as they step up their preparations for the UEFA Champions League Qualifiers.

Already he has been tipped to have a big season with the team due to his ability to play various roles in attack, as witnessed last season at Zorya where he played in almost all attacking role.

On a personal note he will be looking to increase his goal tally of six from 22 league games last season in Ukraine, which wouldn’t be much a problem considering his new club have an approach that is more attack orientated than his former team.

Sam Sodje: Eagles Can Exploit Slow Cameroon In World Cup Qualifiers
By Izuchukwu Okosi

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/cameroon-1.jpg


Former Nigeria international, Sam Sodje, has pinpointed an area of weakness in the Cameroon team which the Super Eagles can exploit when both sides clash in the 2018 World Cup qualifier in August, and in the reverse fixture later, Completesportsnigeria.
com reports.

The African champions lost their first game of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup 2-0 to Chile on Sunday, and Sodje spoke exclusively to Completesportsnigeria.com on what he feels the Eagles can do to outwit the Indomitable Lions..

"Cameroon proved that they are a very good team at the Nations Cup and now at the Confederations Cup match against Chile. We saw them play very well as well, " the former Portsmouth, Charlton Athletic and West Brom defender told Completesportsnigeria.com on Tuesday.

"But there are certain weaknesses in their game that the Eagles can exploit. From the match on Sunday, I noticed that they are slow on the ball in the defence and their midfielders gave away the ball too often. Their buildup is okay,k but their final balls let them down a couple of times.

"I believe the Eagles coaches are taking notes. Based on these observations, it means that we (Nigeria) will need to play them with very fast and physical strikers."

Cameroon's next game in the Group B of the 2017 Confederations Cup is against Australia at the Saint Petersburg Stadium on Thursday.

since Cameroon is that good, how come there did not beat Algeria and Zambia home and away?

Do you guys have this feeling that Nigerians wish they were in east Africa..its like everything is about kenya or Ethiopia or tanzania or even somali..they dont quote their neighbors much

had it been...the likes of V Moses, Mikel and Leon was present in that match against RSA
I tell you....the south Africans won't have it easy...
better still a draw....
just relax....we all will get to watch.
beating Cameroon in Nigeria is achievable and realistic....I thank God for the loss against RSA...something that really made rohr to know that he is not there yet ..
it is a blessing in disguise

komekn:
Watching Cameroon they playing predominantly off the cuff. Very limited team cohesion and the struggle to get beyond 4/5 passes.

They are poor technically and Aboubacar thier main man seems not particularly quick or fast strong yes. That may be a reflection of the top quality opposition.

For Chile to be here they may beaten Argentina and Brazil.

Otherwise Cameroon seem devoid of ideas.

We will most definitely 100% desperately need Mikel Obi they are very physical and we need our big boys for this game.

Humility017:
absolutely true....
I believe should either one of dressier or Tammy gets to play for Nigeria and keep up wit their good form....in club level
kelechi starting role for the SE may be under threat....

Oasis007:
I do not need to re-watch the Match Dude. I'm convinced Onazi was the best among the 3 Midfielders played by Rohr.

Hence, I really don't understand why some of you are pinning the Blame only Onazi. What were you expecting him do do?! Kill himself on the Pitch?!

Good chances were missed by both Etebo and Ndidi, yet they were stylishly left out of Criticism?! Why?!

Kindly chill a bit and free Onazi of sentimental Blames.

Do you know that one legged Martins Obafemi and Peter Odenwinge are better than Ighalo, Ideye, Iheanacho and Kayode combined?

This one of the reasons we can never win the world cup. The mentality to discard players at will in the name of name old man..

If Defore, Ibrahamovic and Gyan were Nigerians dem no go smell National team even if dem dey score 1m goals per second. It doesn't matter, we need fresh blood according to your mentally.

Oo! I see! Iheanacho place is at stake hence the need to protect his interest. Bhuuuhahaha!

Na Iheanacho get the national team?

sontoly:
Bros won't blame NFF that much, I will blame the country as a whole, our sports generally is bad, we don't groom young players early probably cos of financial incapabity. Nigeria is the worst country to groom stars we like already made stuff we be like parasite reaping from English developmental football.
Lookman, Solanke and co will always have England as their priority, once dey can't make it to the squad den dey can consider there second choice. I don't blame dem that much.

forgiveness:
When Lookman was training with the Nigerian English team in England dem no see em talent?

When Solanke said he wanted to play for Nigeria when he was at the Eredivisie, NFF dem blind to notice his talent?

Humility017:
the coach is just moving from frying pan to fire...
I think...someone like siasia should have been his assistant.. that Yusuf has nothing to offer..

NP offense please

forgiveness:
Hahahahahah! A country with foresight always makes the move to snatch talents to improve itself before any makes move. In this case, our NFF and some people lacks the foresight to spot hidden talent due to sentiments, nepotism, pomposity and egoism.

That is why we have lost many talents over the years and we will keep loosing them. The likes of David Alaba, Dele Alli and recently Manuel Akanji could have improved our team and given us the edge or hope to dream of winning the world cup but reverse is the case, they don't have dreams and lacks ambition.


No bi for hear I don dey cry Dominic Solanke and co since over two and half years ago but many people said they are mediocre, they are English, they are not technical, blah blah blah, and even called me names.

Behold, the rejected stones are now becoming the corner stones.

The point is, many are not thinking of winning the world cup but I am,and that is the difference between me and many forumites here.

Galatasaray In Pole Position To Sign Nigeria Olympic Star Imoh Ezekiel Ahead Of Malaga
June 13, 2017 Nigeria



Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray are reportedly few details away from signing Imoh Ezekiel from Qatari side Al-Arabi according to reports sourced by Owngoalnigeria.com editorial team.

Ezekiel is reportedly the main target of coach ‎Igor Tudor who according to babaspor has personally requested for the 23 year old who also confirmed his desire to return back to Europe.

Galatasaray have been quoted 3 million euros for the forward who has a year left on his contract with Al-Arabi where he had a fairly good time in his 18 months spell with the team.

The Turkish outfit have so far shown interest in signing him despite the fee demanded by Al-Arabi unlike Spanish La-Liga outfit Malaga who were hoping to land him for a fee in the region of 1 million euros.

Al-Arabi are not keen on holding onto him as they run the risk of losing him on a free by the end of next season when his contract will expire, and Ezekiel has severally voiced his unhappiness in the Oil rich country despite the huge wage he currently earns.

Is that not... Jesus!

I have said it before you are the icon of tribalism and nepotism. You know I have many facts to back it up. Ntor

E wan cry. God don shame am.

Sorry, ndo!

Komekn has advocated for Obafemi severally, why not give him a name to hang him? Bhuuuhahaha!

E pain am!

If Obafemi is banging in goals left right and center in the NIGERIAN NATIONAL TEAM, he deserves to be called AS A LEGIT CITIZEN OF NIGERIA.

Mickael2:
some things you are saying today are just...OMG. And what's with all the insults? You are making yourself look childish. Imagine saying stupid things like Chelsea bench is better than Man City bench, is it Costa that is better than Aguero? Or Bathsuayi is better than Gabby J(God forbid) but somehow Solanke is sitting on the floor not even bench but in your mind that is better than Nacho.

Do you think this is U20? Or you think that Venezuela team had something to offer? This U20 was totally devoid of talent, that Penaranda guy was showboating all game long, will you see that in a serious tournament? Compare this tournament to that of 2005 and you will see that the U20 is pure crap now but whatever keeps you warm at night Sir

forgiveness:
Of course! But he refused to stay. Very different.

BascoVanVeli:
I understand the need to gloat but don't get carried away. The award of best player was clearly based on the sentiment of England winning the wc. Solanke is fast and packs a good shot but if u look at his goals they were all average. He is basic in the air, he can barely bring the ball down. Next season I am 500 percent sure that Victor Osimhen will be a regular for Wolfsburg, can u say the same for Solanke?

forgiveness:
Walahi! My mind no say I was never sold out for Kayode from onset though I believe he must be invited if he performs well.

However, since I heard he won the highest goal scorer and best player in the Austria league, I am beginning to have interest in him hence the need to see his games.

I prefer the old cargoes like Ighalo, Ideye and Obafemi. Simple.

forgiveness:
Why are they selling him off?

Besides, how many goals has he scored as a striker compared to when he was the second striker?

You people don't know anything. You are about to destroy his career with the national team.

Where I watched the ball by chance yesterday, people were calling for his head. Can you imagine? Smh

Play him as a second striker in a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 formation and see the best of him. Is that too difficult to comprehend?

safarigirl:
we will not miss it. We have five games left to make up for the mistakes.

We did not play with our full team today remember, and the boys are young. We all need to cut them some slack, none of them is happy we lost and we don't need to worsen their pain by making these negative statements many are making now.

They need support and encouragement, so while we rue missed chances, singling out players and blaming them is not the way to go. They win as a team and lose as a team

forgiveness:
What did 'what he knows take help us yesterday'?

Rohr has forgotten completely how Iheanacho was banging in goals for the Super Eagles as a second striker.

Maybe somebody is deceiving him to play him as lone striker. Since then he struggled to score.

It is painful people are blinded through sentiments and not facts.
