BascoVanVeli:Hello BascoVanVeli and every other follower of this thread. Firstly I appreciate the immense effort of every other member of the Warri Wolves team but we must acknowledge that one player has been most influential to the clubs ascension this term and he is Gbolahun Salami . [quote author= ]He has scored 15 goals already but did he score all alone? Don't you think it is testament to his midfield that he has scored so much?[/quote]What shall be the result if those chances created are converted to goals? [quote author= ]How can you honestly say in a team with the likes of Stanley Dimgba, Ossai Uche, Solomon Kwambe and Azubuike Egwekwe[/quote]In another bid to deride Gbolahun"s immense efforts for him club you erroneously put Solomon Kwambe "s name in your list. Forget the incessant SEagles invitation,Solomon Kwambe has been more of a BENCH player for Warri Wolves this season. [quote author= ]news flash the season is over at 5 points adrift the Warri wolves better watch out for Wikki Tourist who are only 2 points behind them.[/quote]Listen ,I am in fact not a Wolves fan I m a supporter Enyimba fc and we are top on the log We know the biggest threat to our title ambitions and it is sure not WikiTourists. https://completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/salami.jpg? Wolves Fans: Salami Is Our Lionel Messi 4 OCT 2015 HEADLINES, NIGERIA LEAGUE By Adeboye Amosu In Warri: Fans of Glo Premier League side, Warri Wolves have described the club's forward, Gbolahan Salami as their own replica of Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi following his impressive showing in Saturday's 3-0 win against title rivals, Sunshine Stars, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

Jaypea98:Maybe i was being unfair but u sounding rude and arrogant like for starters were u get microphone from that u come dey drop am for my head? Is that one good?lmao. But that aside I respect ur opinion and most importantly your passion and all the same my opin should be at least not beat up like it came from a mad man. I actually watch the Glo Premier League i have made a few comments on here about guys I like, now I am no expert but I can speak on the few games i have watched on ss9 who show quite a few Warri matches. Solomon Kwambe was picked by Oliseh so he deserves a mention and in truth I personally never too liked Salami I felt Keshi was forcing him on us. If he was so good why is he still in the league? He has had more publicity than any local player in recent history but yet top club have still not taken notice. I can't say Kwambe is better because they play different positions but goals don't make a player the star of any team. Is Muller the star in Germany? Maybe. Is Morata the "Messi" of Juve? Maybe. Or even Bony with Ivory Coast. The Warri Wolves have a packed team that get's at least 5 call ups for the Eagles each time. Now for you to close your eyes without any consideration and pick out Salami as their best player is not only wrong it is kind of insulting to the other players on the team. Yes he is a key player for them because somebody has to finish the countless goalscoring opportunities created by the midfield. I remember the hattrick he had, I forget the match but in the first half he missed 3 "God gave me" chances but they kept on feeding him the ball. I even forgot to mention the beach football playing sand eagle on the team-please someone help me with his name-this team is packed my guy, Salami didn't take them to 2nd place all by himself. |

Jaypea98:[b]Hey bro, I actually thought I replied you. Went back now and realized i didn't eventually submit it then. Too many Mentions to respond to. Anyways, there is no CHAN thread since it's just a sub-category of the Senior National team. Infact, they are still referred to as the Super Eagles. So I felt there's no need for it. Good stuff about the write up on the league players and the management. You know, when I took a glance at the table few days back, I was taken aback by the number of away wins and draws. It was unusual in this part of the world to see so many away wins. Shows we are doing something right. When Oliseh was recruited, the mandate was not just the senior national team, he was mandate to look at the league and fashion out a way to bring the league top players into the Eagles' fold. That was why he asked for Salisu. Good choice in my opinion. I'm really hopeful that the glory days are back. Looking forward to the game against Burkina. Thanks for the expose, once again. [/b] |

Jaypea98:Thanks I like to insert humour from time to time to lighten discussions and Igbinegbu is correct too (was so sad when they lost out at the beach afcon). I believe I already stated my bias against Salami but I do have to admit that he was the biggest name coming into this season and he delivered even for the eagles against Chad so hence u might be right being that you follow the league closer than I do. All the same my ham's off to u on your knowledge of our league hope to learn more from guys like you. |

[b][size=14pt] Ride On Oliseh, Farewell Enyeama (1) [/size] By Nnamdi Ezekute: Nigerian football endured an embarrassing tension-soaked atmosphere within the space of five days preceding the international friendly match between the Super Eagles and the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon on Sunday, October 11. The fire-brand imbroglio between incoming Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, and out-going captain Vincent Enyeama reverberated, embarrassingly, while it lasted. Between the two football icons who served Nigeria meritoriously in different generations, their teeming football-loving compatriots were divided. Every Nigerian on each side of the divide argued at any slightest opportunity over who was to blame between Oliseh and Enyeama, in the face-off which was apparently induced by the change in the captaincy of the Super Eagles. However, that famous Super Eagles' convincing 3-0 win over favourites, Cameroun, in the October 11 international friendly match and the NFF's shrewd handling of a peace meeting between Oliseh and Enyeama acted in tandem to douse the tension. The NFF reportedly reprimanded Enyeama, for dissent to his coach while settling their differences. The NFF reaffirmed their total support to Oliseh who has the official mandate to call the shots over coaching matters of the Super Eagles. That was commendable. The popular management cliché 'that there is just one captain for a ship' shouldn't be regarded disdainfully. Ditto, the critical detail in management practice that seeks to replace a talent that clocked the age of retirement and feeling it at heart, because such a talent is wont to behave like a melting ice-block. Those who vilified Oliseh shrugged off important details like the bull to a red flag, in the Spanish bull-fight. Consequently, the motive for which Oliseh appointed Ahmed Musa as new Super Eagles captain remains sparingly understood. While frowning upon Enyeama's misdemeanours in the whole face-off, we were informed that the NFF reassured him that his pride of place in the Nigerian football history remains intact, hence a pledge of a commemorative testimonial match for his retirement from the national team. That was quite pleasing to me too. At 33, Enyeama deserves a peaceful and ceremonious retirement from the national team. Oliseh said he wanted him to be actively involved in driving his new philosophy, in honing the next generation of the Super Eagles. But the goalie was already set in his way, mentally, to refocus and nurture the twilight of this footballing career, now at club level. All the best Enyeama! That the older Nigerian hero, Oliseh and the younger hero, Enyeama, put their egos aside and mended fences in that peace talk, was equally gratifying. We were told that both Oliseh and Enyeama spoke cordially during the peace talk, a great relief for those who yearn for more goals from the Super Eagles. Mistakes do happen, but it's what you do after that that matters. Having made the progress of quenching the messy Enyeama/Oliseh cross-fires, MoreGoals! will attempt to enlighten the passionate Nigerian fans on the concept of football team's human management, with a view of understanding Oliseh and his challenges better, as the Super Eagles helmsman. The foregoing is my preamble, in a deliberate effort to demystify the concept of human management in football coaching job. It was a skill that Oliseh, as ambitiously as he administered it, scared the pants off Enyeama. Watch out for the part 2 of this piece, just in a jiffy. 2015 U17 W/Cup: Eaglets Go For More Goals! The FIFA U17 World Cup, Chile 2015 , kicks off on Saturday, 0ctober 17. Like most Nigerians, I feel quite enthusiastic about the tournament. No tension, for the obvious reason that it's Nigeria's territory. This is also a tournament in which Nigeria enjoy rave reviews in the global media due to the pedigree established overtime. Nigerians have the bragging rights going into the 16th edition of the FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile. Nigeria have won it four times; in 1985, 1993, 2007 and 2013. The Golden Eaglets have also won three silvers from the the tournament; in 1989, 2001 and at home when Nigeria hosted the showpiece in 2009. Emmanuel Amuneke's team are favourites as title holders, a glory the one-time African footballer of the year earned as an assistant coach to Manu Garba two years ago in the UAE. The team should take the pride as motivation and fight to defend the title successfully. Nigerians want more goals from the Golden Eaglets in this tournament. The four titles won so far were achieved on Asian soil – China'85, Japan '93, Korea '2007 and UAE 2013. More goals! The Golden Eaglets should now also win it outside Asia, on the South American soil of Chile! Good luck Golden Eaglets. Good luck Nigeria.

[b][size=14pt] AF 2016 CHAN Qualifiers Senegal Guinea, Senegal enter battle for CHAN finals spot [/size] https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2015/10/Guinea_CHAN_2016.jpg Guinea's Syli Local Guinea will host Senegal in Bamako on Saturday, in the first leg of their 2016 African Nations Championship qualifying tie in Zone West A. The aggregate winners will book their spot at the final tournament, featuring exclusively players from their respective national leagues, which will take place in Rwanda from 16 January to 7 February 2016. The Syli local launched their continental campaign with a 4-2 aggregate win over Liberia, while their Senegalese counterparts got past Gambia 4-1 on aggregate. Guinea didn’t have the best of preparations amid financial difficulties and unpaid bonuses, and national coach Kanfory Lappé Bangoura will have to cope with the absence of striker Sékou Amadou Camara, who sustained an ankle injury. Meanwhile, the local Lions remain wary of their opponents, having themselves lost a few players who have moved on to sign professional contracts abroad. “It is going to be a very tough game against an opponent that has the same ambition to compete at the tournament’s finals,” said Senegal coach Moustapha Seck, who will, however, be able to count on most of the 2015 All Africa Games gold medalists. The match will kick off at Stade Modibo Keïta at 19h00 CAT. [/b] africanfootball.com/news/576255/Guinea-Senegal-enter-battle-for-CHAN-finals-spot |

[b][size=14pt] Sounders Bank On Martins For MLS Playoff Spot [/size] https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/obafemi-martins-sounders.jpg Seattle Sounders will be banking on Obafemi Martins to secure a spot in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs spot from the Western Conference when they take on Houston Dynamo on Saturday. Earlier this season, the Sounders defeated the Dynamo 1-0 at CenturyLink Field thanks to an amazing goal from Nigerian star Martins. With FC Dallas, LA Galaxy, Vancouver Whitecaps already through, Seattle Sounders – currently fifth on the log – must beat Houston Dynamo to seal their place in this year’s playoffs with one game to spare. Currently, Dynamo currently sit on 41 points, six points adrift of their visitors who will hit a solid 50 points and 15 wins for the year, securing a seventh-straight spot in the post-season. “We control our own destiny,” Sounders coach Sigi Schmid told the club's website. “As long as we take care of what we need to take care of, we’ll get to where we want to go. That’s the best position to be in.” Martins has scored 14 goals in 19 MLS games this season. Meanwhile, The Eastern Conference also continues to heat up, with four spots still available. The New York Red Bulls sit atop the Supporters' Shield standings with 54 points, with D.C. United also through to playoffs. Didier Drogba's Montreal Impact are slowly climbing the table and now sit above the red line after a big win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday. This year's playoffs will be the first with an expanded field of 12 teams. The third and fourth seeds in each conference host the fifth and sixth seeds in single knockout matches.

[b][size=14pt] Man United Fan Ighalo: Why I Rejected “Crazy” China Offer [/size] https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_20150927_165603.jpg Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has revealed why he turned down a “crazy” offer from a Chinese club in the summer to stay at Watford. According to WDSport, Ighalo was in Nigeria in June when he received a call out of the blue from his agent, Ladi Salami, informing him that Hebei China Fortune wanted to speak to him about a mind-blowing salary package to join their team coached by former Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona head coach Raddy Antic. Ighalo, who is the top scoring player in the four tiers of English football in 2015, has spoken previously about the “crazy money” waved under his nose but not before about the background to what would have been a shock transfer. “My agent called and said they are serious,” Ighalo told WDSport. “I said, ‘I think they are joking’. He told me the team owner is flying to London to see me and then one morning I saw people from there after training. They offered money to the club and the club asked me if I want to talk to them. I thought about it for three nights, I could not sleep as the money was so crazy. Gino [Pozzo] called me and asked me what did I think about it. I said this was the first day and I have to think about it.” Ighalo, who revealed he supported Manchester United as a child and wanted to stay in the Premier League to remain in a top league and face the Red Devils. “I didn’t accept the offer,” said Ighalo. “Money, money, money is not everything. My dream is to play – not just because of money. For my age, I could not just jump into a league like that, it is not as competitive. The excitement and challenge is not enough for a young player. I told Gino I do not want to go and that even if you buy another striker I will stay and fight for my position. “Some asked me if I was crazy to turn it down. I am happy that I did. This is my life and I will choose how I live it. God didn’t want to me to do it. My mind is here, even though they kept begging me to come, telling me they will offer me whatever I want and to come to China for one week and see. They were still calling me so I stopped taking their calls. I am happy here.” Ighalo, who scored for Nigeria against arch-rivals Cameroon in a friendly on Sunday, has backed up his claim of not regarding money as everything by giving most of his earnings away. “I get my salary and I send money to my family and friends,” said Ighalo when asked about his charitable side. “I also have a charity for the less privileged. I send money so they can eat and go to school, and also send money to widows, women who don’t have husbands, around 45 of them. I take care of them every month. My plan is to open an organisation so I can give back to the poor.” Ighalo lived in poverty when growing up Ajegunle, Lagos, watching his mother work for 17 hours a day selling bottled water and soft drinks. He added: “I know what it was like when I had nothing,” Ighalo said. “I am not one of the big players in the world but I don’t live outside my limit and I always help people I can afford to. Even if I can afford to help one I will do it. I try to make sacrifice for them as I know how it was when I had nothing, too.” [/b] www.completesportsnigeria.com/man-united-fan-ighalo-why-i-rejected-crazy-china-offer/ |

The 24-year-old injured a muscle in the quadriceps attached to the hip in training and is unlikely to feature for the Turin club this month. Though serving his last match ban following his red card against Parlemo, the Nigerian international is reportedly to undergo some tests in order to accurately determine recovery time, a report on Torino’s official website has revealed. “The instrumental tests made on Joel Obi showed a lesion I / II degree at the rectus femoris. The midfielder will have new tests in order to accurately determine recovery time,” the report states. Obi has played two Serie A games since joining Torino from Inter Milan this summer.

[b][size=14pt] Pinnick: Home Eagles, Golden Eaglets Must Win This Weekend [/size] https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Amaju-Pinnick-1.jpg Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick on Friday charged the Home Eagles and the Golden Eaglets to go for wins in their respective games this weekend. The Golden Eaglets on Saturday night in Santiago, Chile, begin the defence of their FIFA U-17 World Cup title they won in the United Arab Emirates in 2013 against USA while the home-based Eagles will play against Burkina Faso in a 2016 Championship for African Nations (CHAN) qualifier at the Adokiye Amiesiamaka Stadium in Port Harcourt. During the NFF press conference at the Hotel Presidential in Port Harcourt Pinnick said: “It is a very important weekend for Nigeria football, and I call on the Super Eagles B and the Golden Eaglets to rise to the occasion. On our part, the NFF has given all the necessary support and is ready to provide even more support to ensure that the two teams do the nation proud in a great way. “The Eaglets know that our country is the defending champion of the U-17 World Cup, and that is a big motivation in itself. "They are challenged to give their very best. The home-based senior boys also realize that Nigeria cannot afford to miss the African Nations Championship coming up in Rwanda, having finished third at the last championship.” According to the NFF website, Pinnick called on the two teams to strive for handsome wins that will almost guarantee further progress. “The Eaglets must win in Santiago for three valuable points that will put them in good stead for qualification to the Round of 16, while the Eagles will ensure a comfortable second leg in Ouagadougou by winning very well in Port Harcourt,” he told thenff.com after speaking with Coach Emmanuel Amuneke in Santiago and Coach Salisu Yusuf in Port Harcourt on Friday. The Eaglets begin their defence of the FIFA U-17 World Cup with a match against USA in Santiago. The champions spend 10 days at a final training camp in Buenos Aires, Argentina before flying into the Chilean capital on Tuesday. Already, FIFA has selected German Deniz Aytekin as referee for the match, which starts at 9pm Nigeria time. Aytekin’s compatriots Guido Kleve and Markus Haecker are assistants referee 1 and 2, while Martin Strombergsson from Sweden will be fourth official. In Port Harcourt, Angolan official Boubou Traore will be referee, with his countrymen Baba Yomboliba, Boubacar Kinta and Harouna Coulibaly as assistant referee 1, assistant referee 2 and reserve referee respectively.

[b][size=14pt] Ighalo: I’ll Love To Score Against Arsenal But… [/size] https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_20150927_165429.jpg Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo believes Watford can inflict a third league defeat on Arsenal when both teams clash at the Vicarage Road in Saturday’s Barclays Premier League clash. Ighalo, who is Complete Sports Player of the Month and has scored five times for the Hornets so far this season, however is not desperate to score so long as his team claims maximum points from the encounter. He also admitted that the clash won’t be an easy one for his side. The 26-year-old was quoted on Daily Mail: “I always want to score goals and it does not matter who I score against. “If I score against Arsenal on Saturday and we lose the game I will not be happy. It does not matter if I score, I just want to help my team and make sure we win the game if it is possible. “If the goal does not come and we win the game I will be so happy because it is team work and we have been working together as a team. “Arsenal are flying and are doing well and you can see Alexis Sanchez is scoring for fun now. “It is not going to be easy for us because they are a good team, a Champions League team, and they play some of the best football here in England. “But we hope to cope with that. We hope to fight until the end. We will see what happens and a positive result would send out a signal to the other teams that they should be careful of Watford.” Ighalo has found the back of the net five times for the Hornets on their return to the Premier League this season to take his number of goals for the calendar year to 21.

[b][size=14pt] Home Eagles Excited As Oliseh Arrives From Belgium [/size] https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_20151007_210327.jpg By Taiwo Adesanya: Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, arrived at the home-based Super Eagles camp on Friday ahead of Saturday’s 2016 African Nations Championship qualifier against Burkina Faso. The Super Eagles Twitter account had said on Wednesday that Oliseh would arrive on Sunday due to illness, therefore missing the qualifier. The former Nigeria captain’s arrival excited the players at the team’s Hotel Presidential camp, one of the players told Comple tesportsnigeria.com. Oliseh is not expected to be in charge of the Super Eagles B team in as they host Burkina Faso. “Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh arrives at the team’s hotel in Port Harcourt and the atmosphere lights up,” the player told Comple tesportsnigeria.com. Nigeria are targeting their second straight qualification for the CHAN tournament having finally broken the jinx in 2014 when they made it to South Africa to feature in the competition reserved for senior players plying their trade in their country’s domestic league. The winner over two legs between Nigeria and Burkina Faso will be eligible for a place at the 4th African Nations Championship taking place in Rwanda early next year.

[b][size=14pt] Moses Rated Fifth Fastest Player In Premier League [/size] https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/VictorMoses.jpg By Izuchukwu Okosi: Super Eagles of Nigeria and West Ham’s on-loan winger Victor Moses has been revealed to be the fifth fastest Premier League player so far this season, according to reports in the English media on Friday night. The EA SPORTS Player Performance Index confirms that Moses – who is currently on a season-long loan move at the Boleyn Ground from champions Chelsea – is the fifth fastest player in the English top flight this term with a top speed of 35km/h. Moses’ teammate at West Ham, Carl Jenkinson, comes in at eighth place with a top speed of 34.89km/h – with no other players from any of the London clubs featuring in the top 10. Leicester City dominate the list as 50% of the 10 fastest players in the Premier League play for the Foxes – with top spot going to the club’s striker Jamie Vardy. The forward has hit a top speed of 35.44km/h this season, which beats his Leicester teammate Jeffrey Schlupp by 0.18km/h. Moses took precautionary step against aggravating his injury worries and avoided Nigeria’s friendlies against DR Congo and Cameroon last week. Other Leicester players to make the list are fourth-placed Marc Albrighton (35km/h), sixth-placed Ritchie de Laet (34.97km/h) and 10th-placed Wes Morgan (34.76km/h). The appearance of De Laet and Morgan alongside Sunderland’s Billy Jones (third), West Ham’s Jenkinson and Bournemouth’s Charlie Daniels (ninth) mean that half of the 10 fastest players in the league are defenders. The only other forward to make the list with Vardy is Stoke City’s Mame Biram Diouf, who has reached a top speed of 34.97km/h this term (seventh place).

[b][size=14pt] Luscuito exposes B/Faso to Eagles [/size] Super Eagles assistant coach, Jean Pierre Luscuito has stated that his experience of working in Burkina Faso for a year would be brought to bear today when Nigeria face the Stallions in the first leg of the African Nations Championship(CHAN) qualifier in Port Harcourt. Luscuito in a chat withSportingLifethrough an interpreter said he had directly worked with four of the players the Burkinabes came with for the qualifier and was also elated that the joint highest goals scorer of the 2015 African Games, Mohamed Sydney Sylla was dropped from the team’s squad to Nigeria for reasons best known to them. He failed to disclose the information he has acquired about the Burkinabes but pointed out that everything about Nigeria’s foes would be dissected at the final team talk before the encounter. The Belgian informed Nigerians that the game would be tough but that the Eagles would be fired up to secure a good lead ahead of the second leg in Ouagadougou next week. Luscuito toldSportingLife: “I worked personally with four of them and they are rich in experience and are very good. I know them and I hope my experience working in Burkina Faso will help to beat them hands down. I won’t go into details with what I know about them I will keep that for the technical crew and the players. We shall all sit down to do a proper analysis of our opponent. “I have looked at them and I am certain that they came with most of their U-23 players but they dropped some members of that team including the highest goals scorer of the 2015 African Games, Mohamed Sydney Sylla. I am happy because he is a very good player and thought he would make the team. “We are very ready for them and the enthusiasm in the Nigerian team is that everyone wants to go to Rwanda 2016 CHAN. We are going to play a very good game but we are not expecting a stroll in the park but we will be victorious,” he said. [/b] thenationonlineng.net/luscuito-exposes-bfaso-to-eagles/ |

[b][size=14pt] Ighalo won’t quit for bigger club [/size] Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores has said he does not fear star striker Odion Ighalo will move to a bigger club in January. The 26-year-old Nigeria international has scored five times this term, which has taken his tally for the calendar year to 25, the highest in England in 2015. Ighalo, who was nominated for September’s Player of the Month prize, turned down a big-money move to China over the summer, and signed a five-year deal to remain atVicarage Roadearlier this season. His form may attract interest from bigger teams when the transfer window opens in January if his goal scoring continues. “I’m not scared about Ighalo. I’m happy with him and not thinking about what might happen in the winter market. He had the chance to go out in the summer but decided to stay here and that was an amazing decision,” said the Watford manager. “When a player plays well, the value changes to buy him. But we now think Ighalo is our most important player, he is very happy and can play in different positions.” [/b] thenationonlineng.net/ighalo-wont-quit-for-bigger-club/ |
