Controversial Emmanuel Dennis has got the transfer rumour mills working overtime again after he posted a photo of himself training in a Galatasaray shirt.

Dennis loan spell at Bundesliga club Cologne was disastrous and he has returned to parent team Club Brugge, who have made it very clear he does not have a future there.

He has now posted a photo on Instagram which showed him working out in a Galatasaray shirt and the fans of the Istanbul giants are already celebrating his arrival.

Dennis agent, William D’Avilla has strong links at ‘Gala’ with several of his players already there – Henry Onyekuru, Oghenekaro Etebo and Valentine Ozornwafor.

He still has a year left on his contract and it is left to be seen if the Turkish club can fork out a transfer fee that is acceptable to the Belgian giants.

Transfer market values the winger at 11 Million Euros despite a rather difficult season.

I think we all need to be concerned about the statement Rohr made to the media that the super eagles don't have what it takes to reach the semi final of the world cup.
Even if he is right, as a coach,he isn't supposed to be saying such things.. He is supposed to be a source of motivation for his players.. Anything can happen in football. We have seen smaller teams pull up surprises in big stages when nobody expect it.

What if Rohr deliberately sabotage the team just so as to prove that he was right with his statement?

The man is clearly not confident in himself and he seem to be translating that fear to his players
Rohr is low self esteem idiot. No apologies.

Chelsea were in deep shit with their team and lamp looked clueless. But see how they turned around and became champs of Europe? Every team wrote them off. But they worked it out. Teams win trophies. Not superstar. We have a collection of great players and we can beat any team on a good day with a great manager. Not this self defeating ideiot giving our players low self esteem and making them think they're not good enough.

Galatasaray defender Valentine Ozornwafor looks set to partner Chidozie Awaziem in the heart of the Super Eagles back four in Tuesday’s rematch between Super Eagles and Cameroon.

Former Flying Eagles star Ozornwafor, 22, made his long-awaited Eagles debut Friday in the first friendly against Cameroon as a late sub.


However, in the absence of stand-in captain William Ekong, who was injured in the first Cameroon game, the left-footed Ozornwafor will now get a big chance to stake a claim for a place in the squad ahead of 2022 World Cup qualifiers in September.

His call-up for the matches against Cameroon came as a big surprise given that he did not see much action for Galatasaray this past season.

He clocked only eight minutes in his only appearance in the Turkish league for ‘Gala’ this past season.
This coming match is do or die for Ozornwafor, perform well and get in the Eagles squad for the next year and probably get a decent club or perform poorly and fade into obscurity

I don't really believe in Emmanuel Dennis. His final ball is poor (he dribbles without end product) and he is proud. He has not achieved anything and he will be fighting with his coaches and fellow players. I hope he proves me wrong whereever he goes. He has not arrived if he thinks he has arrived then he is just a local champion or even worse.
the young man has a long way to go

At the words in bold, you are very correct.
Iwobi is the best SS in Super Eagles as it stands.

Iwobi's pressing and work rate combined with that of Osimhen will spell menace on any opposition.

We will experience the diamond in Iwobi and reap extensively the beauty in 4-4-2 when we play lwobi behind the striker.
If any SE player will be described as pressing and having high work rate combine definitely it's not Iwobi. gringringrin
Probably by 70mins to 80mins of football dude is tired. Go back & watch our last match, he was moving around with hand brakegrin whilst Sir Paul was moving around with a briefcase.

he gets tired at 70mins doesn't mean he doesn't press. He usually gasses out due to his intense pressing and work rate.

Iwobi has average pressing and workrate, he does not have the agility or body control of elite pressers like Jamie Vardy, infact he is easy to dribble and get around, to describe him as a 'pressing monster' is laughable grin

i will say above average but not an elite presser. He is still better at pressing than any available forward we have.

He is not above average, average is being generous, Osimhen is by far our best presser Iwobi and Iheanacho are our worst

Mali scored a perfectly good goal off a cross but it was ruled out for an infringement on the goalkeeper. Replay however showed the gk was impeded by his own teammates. grin

Galatasaray will face competition from Greek champions Olympiacos in their quest to sign Henry Onyekuru.

Olympiacos, who previously showed interest in signing the former Everton player, are keenly interested in his service again.

According to various media reports, Olympiacos Technical Director Pedro Martins wants to see Onyekuru in his squad and they will offer him UEFA Champions League football in the new season after they scooped their 46th championship this past season.

He was on loan at Galatasaray from AS Monaco for the second round of last season.

The forward still has three years left on his contract with the French Ligue 1 outfit, where he has so far failed to make the grade.

He has a transfer market value of seven Million Euros.

Ranting cos of a friendly match. Abeg calm down. Scoring freekick is not a big deal. You win some you lose some.
You know very well that he has a strong strong point. Is it everytime in modern football concerning SE we use "ordinary friendly"?
