Leeds is now back in the premier league. I can remember when they got to the champions league semi final with alan smith and co.
Glad for there emergence.
Welcome back leeds.
Hope one of our Nigerian players can go there. Its a club with a rich history and tradition

Huesca scores again. Now 3 nil

TheSuperNerd:
Oh goodness me... Ozornwafor's Almeria is back behind again. They now trail 2-1 away at Ponferradina. The implication of this is that if Almeria loses and Huesca wins, coupled with Zaragoza's loss... Then Nwakali, Omoruyi and Huesca will land La Liga promotion today!

But it is not over till it's over. It may yet go down to the final matchday. Time will tell.

Huesca have scored again. Its now 2 nill

Godfrey Bitok Stephen (a left back 19 years old) scored for Isloch in the Belarusian league.
quite an obscure league but dude is still very young

TheLoneCitizen:
Osimhen has done a Pepe.

Where did u get the information from. And to what team

Good for you

TheSuperNerd:
Undoubtedly one of the brightest of the lot for the U-17 Class of 2019. Another with high football IQ like him in that team is Akinkunmi Amoo who bagged a move to Hammarby of Sweden.

In my opinion, Samson Tijani is like Jorginho, Pirlo, Oliseh etc. He is a deep lying play maker who creates from central midfield. He adds creativity to his normal defensive midfield duties. He is NOT ndidi or a pure defensive midfielder. He seems to have elite level world class talent as many clubs were rushing him.
Salzburg is the perfect condition for him as their aim and objectives is to develop young players. All these big teams dont care about young players. Salzburg on the other hand DO NOT CARE about established stars

Subzero047:
Ndidi is growing on the ball, game by game

You mean creative passes into the final third of the pitch and ball progression and atracking vision. If he does all that he will get into a big team immediately.

komekn:
Once a player is changing agents in the midst of negotiations. I can assure you that there is more to this story.

Watch out for counter claims and all kinds of allegations.

And then when Lille are recommending a preferred agent, there are way too many questions that will remain unanswered.

Someone is trying to take advantage of him. This happens ALL THE TIME to home grown African players. They usually get into situations where an agent is trying to take advantage of them. Samson Tijani was an example until he landed in Salzburg. Stuff like this affects African players a lot. Well, if someone points this out, it will be as if one is making excuses for them

Good

TheSuperNerd:
Top Italian Talent scout, Walter Sabatini speaks on Osimhen

Translated from Italian:

Courtesy: TuttoNapoli.net


To guarantee for Victor Osimhen there is also Walter Sabatini, the talent scout par excellence who over the years has found dozens of talents for Lazio, Palermo, Rome and now Bologna. From Nesta and Di Vaio to Ilicic and Pastore, Lamela, Benatia, Pjanic, Marquinhos, Manolas and Alisson and many others.

Speaking at Kiss Kiss Napoli, the current coordinator of the technical area of ​​Bologna, also spoke of the '98 class of Lille which is now very close to Naples:

"Go and get Osimhen, it's worth it! Stronger than Cavani? Well, Cavani had a particular character, but Osimhen is graceful, he has the running depth, great technique. It would be a great buy and a great regret of mine, last year I was among his tracks but I didn't have the strength to acquire it, for Bologna. It was an incongruous operation for Bologna, too demanding, but it was a player to take. If Napoli has closed I wish you the best of luck, it is a great purchase."

Victor Osimhen has allways been highly rated by talent sporters in Europe. Lois campos trailed osimhen for 4 years

https://www.goal.com/en-ng/amp/news/osimhen-is-like-a-cat-luis-campos-reveals-how-lille-captured/1tzjdzuly85431u9m6o69taqz2

Maybe he has divine favor i dont know but Campos in particular has marketed him to everybody. I pray he does will in Napoli.

I remember his match rating when nigeria played brazil. It went "Victor osimhen is something special". He troubled the brazilian central defenders in that match.
I am not rating him i am just saying football scouts in Europe rate him highly

BascoVanVeli:
Porto the club young Nigerian talents go to die. Better off going to Latvia

They can loan him to average portuguese teams like boavista etc or belgium or holland. You are right porto can bench nigerian players for life
But men Latvia is too obscure. Austrian league will be good to

Nigerian clubsides should recruit players from our football academies. Most of our players making waves in Europe are from football academies.
Also there is an alternate league about to start for privately owned clubs and it will be interesting.
There is the University league started a few years ago.
I honestly appreciate efforts made to develop our local football

Get it niw

NIGERIAN YAYA TOURE ON THE BRINK OF FC PORTO

Football academies are the future of Nigerian football. Triple 44 academy Ibadan product is now on the radar of Fc porto. He could join their u19 soon.
This is another great prospect to watch out for. His name is Emmanuel Adeyemo

Football academies are a silent revolution in Nigerian football.

The problem with using foreign born players is like a man who begs his wealthy brother for money instead of telling him to get him a job.

andrewbaba44:
Haaland is good but i rate victor osimhen more than him, i have said so several times

Maybe i will change my mind soon, but for now i stand on my words

Can you give me a concrete reason. Halland's stats are intimidating. Is it work rate or whats the reason

JayromWrites:
Yeah!! Napoli seem quite desperate

It's good for Nigeria's football

Completesports and sportinglife.ng are now carrying the news.
Is Victor Osimhen really the future of Nigerian football. Will he lead us to a world cup semi final and dominate african and world football. Only time will tell

JayromWrites:
With what I'm reading about Osimhen, it seems we actually underrate him on this thread

Like wtf!?

Yes, the europeans rate him higher than we think. I am surprised myself. I actually see him as just a good young player that will improve with time. Maybe they are wrong or right i dont know. Besides Lequipe is a credible news source so he will probably end up in Napoli

jihday:
Mr Samuel which one make we believe now? This news or the Tottenham news?

ON HENRY ONYEKURU

1 he needs to take up the monaco challenge and prove himself. He should stop running away to turkey
2. He us ready for a top 5 league. He has proved himself in belgium and turkey and so he should take his game to the next level.
3 A lot of teams still rate him and now is the chance to go above mediocrity and achieve true stardom
4 this is a big chance with monaco. The ball is in his court. His destiny is in his hands. Next season at monaco will be decisive for him
5 Monaco has a new coach and so there is nothing to fear again

Good for you

Blueelf:
Success takes time. Clearly you know nothing if the time it takes for success to blossom..fake fan or should I just call you ceiling fan

Klop has created a winning tradition. Sacking him will be a serious mistake. You don't change a winning team or coach. They CANNOT sack klop because the management is not stupid. He has imparted his philosophy on the club and as for me he should stay for another 5 years and totally establish a winning dynamic.
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Mind you I'm not a Liverpool fan.
Other clubs will wonder at Liverpool's stupidity if he is sacked

elunico:
Nwakali has not done enough to get regular play time with the team even though they're in the 2nd division, what guarantee is there that he'd get to play if his team gets promoted? I have a feeling all he's ever gonna get is a loan deal back to the 2nd division.

He has to do a lot more to win my attention.

He will get to play. From what i read, he will be given one season to prove himself. They have 38 matches or more next season. They will need him. Its too early to judge him and huesca does not have money to buy players anyhow. If he does not play well next season then thats when they can dispose of him but for now he has a chance

I just had to bring this post back for people to understand my expectation for Rodgers. I knew there was a big chance for his bias to affect Nacho's playing time. I just hoped a bit of fairness. However, it seems he is bent on his bias route. Embarrassed himself today. Thought he has set up the stage for another Vardy show.

My advice to Nacho's managers. Hit Real Betis Big time. Secure a loan for Nacho to Betis it Pellegrini will want to take him. Even if it means a reduction in pay.

I dont know but home grown nigerian/african players dont understand the european transfer market and how it can boist their career. They just go anywhere
Pellegrini will most likely sign him as he was his former coach. BUT home grown players are poorly managed. Isaac success should have gone vack to la liga long ago

Neobulletzz:
Even the Jorginho gan wey Chelsea fans dey shout, dem dey forget one thing

Sarri wey be Jorginho papa self know say Jorginho no fit play alone for midfield, for Napoli he played close to Allan
When he come Chelsea, Sarri still talk the same thing na why Sarri dey play Kante close to Jorginho but Chelsea fans want make only Jorginho dey for 4 for person wey no fit mark. You self reason am

See Chelsea defense, see as e be and you wan still put Jorginho for the front of that defense. Omo if Lewandowski catch that kind defense with Jorginho for 4, Kepa fit chop 10 goals walai

Jorginho is a deep lying play maker and not a defensive midfielder. He is not a pure 4 so playing him as a 4 limits him and exposes his limitations. He needs to play with kante who can mark for him
