I'm watching villarreal and chukwueze is playing very well.
But I think he should spend one more season in villarreal before moving to a big club

Sadiq Umar with an assist for Almeria to make 4 after scoring the first goal
According to goal.com he actually won the penalty he converted. What I like about him is his all round play and creativity. It makes him unique

Abraham Marcus has scored again for feirense. This boy is making me believe in him

At the end of the day, it's only Saka who would make the Euros Squad for England. Jamal Musiala "may" make the Germany squad too.

The likes of Tomori, Tammy, Tosin who all took Nigeria for a ride would end up watching the Euros from home. But ofcos... It doesn't change the fact that they are still living "the dream." grin

They are "English" Internationals now. Proud members of the Three lions. So it is what it is.
Jamal muslia will eventually make the German team. He is rated as a generational talent like Messi, ronaldo or Zidane. The Germans may take him to Europe so as to tie him down permanently

Honestly, I think these guys would rather have 1 or 2 games for England than a bright future for Nigeria and I do not blame them. They are English born/Raised and England deserves to reap the benefit of what they sowed. Let Nigeria invest into football grassroots so we can produce natural born/raised Nigerian footballers like ndidi, osimehn, chukwueze
According to owngoalnigeria.com there is a youth tournament going on in Turkey in which a Nigerian football academy is participating
and they have dsicovered 4 players. 3 are going to Atletico Madrid youth team while the fourth is going to the youth team of Lens in France where John Utaka is now a youth team coach.
The name of the academy is tbc football academy in Abuja and it was started by Abubakar Babawo who is the owner of the famous Gbs football academy

Also, Sunday Dare kicked off the principal's cup which has been abandoned for 30 years and discovered odegbami, amokachi etc. It kicked off today and many more exciting talents will be discovered

Let us be excited about our grassroots football it is the only way forward.
Europeans are just there with there opinion of football. They said Ahmed Musa is not good for Leicester
but he can terrorize defences in the world cup.
Let us develop our football and i swear we will win the world cup.
When we have shocked the Europeans with our unique brand of football, they will sign us for their Real Madrid.
Develop our football, get to the semi-finals of the world cup and let Europe have any opinion they want.

The guy has world class potential, we really missed out
Foreign borns that are really world class will not play for us.
Only the average or good ones will. The problem is we are more keen on the world class players. Our football can produce good players easily and so we may not need the average ones

I think we are ready to have this conversation.

Obinna Nwobodo deserves to get an invite. He will do what ever it takes DMF, RB, AMF, take out the trash, etc
Roger is not tactically sound and will not see it. He just rates players based on league without looking at their style of play and team tactics

As roma, bayer Leverkusen, totenham interested in Anderlecht's Paul Mukairu for the summer.
In my opinion he should stay at Anderlecht for one more season

Agreed, his main attribute is pace, ball behind defenders to run on too. Crosses in the air with pace.

He is not technically good enough for Liverpool.

The Italian game is predominantly ball to feet and slow build up, very technical. These are not his attributes.
The funny thing is that iheanacho style of play fits italian football.
Onuachu fits english football with his aerial game.
Football is more about tactics than anything

Just finished watching enyimba vs rivers united and I saw really good football. Iwuala is a good winger. Nelson ogbonaya good defender etc. There are good players in npfl

And often speculation amounts to wind and fresh air, NOTHING.

It was here that the news was given that Sadiq was going to Manchester United. What happened NOTHING.
Sevilla's interest in Sadiq Umar is concrete. In fact they wanted him this January but that is impossible. Manu interest was just on the surface.
He is well respected in Spanish football circles and interest in him is real.
As per Rangers
1. Gerard never gave him a chance less than 10 matches and he is not good enough

2. Maybe his style of play does not fit Scottish football

It's not been too far in the past that one particular agbero analyst chided this lad with Chuks Aneke

"Lion in a lower league..."
The excrement we put up with en grin
The most ridiculous thing was when Gerard of Rangers told him he was not good enough
