Icon4s: We cap our most promising foreign born players. Ovie is very promising and it is wise to secure him. He is not just a foreign based Nigerian. He is a special talent. |

goldfish80: Drafting him to the U20 doesn't cap him. I said we cap him. Also, there is no way we can not make room on the bench for him. There will be players on the bench that Ovie will offer more than them. Players who will not get to play all through the qualifiers. Note I said if we are leading. So why point to if we are losing. That is away from the point I was making. We capped Iwobi in an important game. So, we can cap Ovie in a game when we are leading. I repeat, he is a very promising prospect. Capping him will increase our pool of promising players. |

Icon4s: Sometimes, Me I tire. You made it clear, Success displaced Awoniyi in the already selected U17. What he is trying to prove, I do not get. The current team Manu Garba is building already have a selected 22 players out of over 50 players in camp. This stands as the current selected U17 team. With other players coming in and the when the MRI testing takes place, not all these 22 players will be in camp. |

Icon4s: Of course, I have always maintained that Ibrahim Alhassan benched Kelechi Iheanacho when he first came to the camp and throughout his stay in the team which included the qualifiers where he became the joint top goal scorer with 5 goals, before he was dropped due to failed MRI test few days before the CAF U17 2013 tournament started. As you can see, I never said he benched Kelechi Iheanacho in the CAF U17 2013 tournament. If we have to go by your analogy that U15 automatically formed the nucleus of the U17 team then it is safe and right to say Ibrahim Alhassan gate crashed into the already formed team and relegated Kelechi Iheanacho to the bench. Is that not what you meant before I proceed further with my point? |

TheGoodJoe: There was nothing like already selected team before Isaac Success came into the team. He came before the U17 was constituted. The U17 team that was later constituted played the first preliminary qualifying match against Niger. Guess what? Isaac Success started that match against Niger. Tell me when he was displaced,? |

forgiveness: Ogbeni u no dey tire?! Abeg Forget all those Alhassan and Iheanacho argument. There is no point to argue abt or to prove there. They are both nt part of the Rio team. What ever needed to be proven has been proven: Iheanacho plays for Manchester City while Ibrahim Alhassan plays for Wikki Tourists of Bauchi. Lets discuss Siasia's likely formation o jare.

Icon4s: No be you Oga at the top talk say somebody come meet somebody for camp the person con bench am. Ok na! Na so life be. Na still the same thing, it is not of him that runs nor of him that will but of the Lord that shows Messi. Without the fall of Ibrahim Alhassan nobody for know Kelechi Iheanacho. Same goes with Taiwo Awoniyi, without the injury of Isaac Success nobody for know Taiwo Awoniyi. Shikena! |

TheGoodJoe: Of course, he was there from the days of screening. Screening was not done in one day. It has phases until camp was closed. |
Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:04pm On Jul 11, 2016 |
forgiveness: It is always done in a process of building a U17 team and as time go on, you discover better players to replace those in the team. Coach Manu Garba already has an U17 team of 22 players but screening is still going on. So saying there was no U17 team during screening is not the exact way it works. |
Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:07pm On Jul 11, 2016 |
forgiveness: There are other players who did not make it in the camp that are still known today. I think you mean making a name from the tourney. |

AF Nigeria Premier League 2015/2016 Turkey AZ Alkmaar-bound Nigeria's Friday rejects Turkish deal by Samm Audu AfricanFootball.com can specially reveal that the leading scorer in the Norwegian league Fred Friday has turned down a chance to join Turkish club Alanyaspor as he hopes to soon make the move to top Dutch club AZ Alkmaar. “Friday has turned down a chance to join Alanyaspor because he is on his way to AZ Alkmaar,” a top source informed AfricanFootball.com. As AfricanFootball.com first reported, Lillestrom’s Nigerian striker Friday is set to seal a move to AZ, who are close to selling off star striker Vincent Janssen to Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. Friday has netted eight goals this season for middle-of-the-table Norwegian club Lillestrom and he is regarded as a direct replacement for Janssen. Alanyaspor won promotion playoffs in the Turkish second-tier league after they finished third in the regular season. They have shown great ambitions going into the top-flight league after they signed Nigeria defender Akeem Latifu and recently contacted another Nigeria international, John Ogu, who won the Israeli championship this past season. africanfootball.com/news/633302/AZ-Alkmaar-bound-Nigeria-s-Friday-rejects-Turkish-deal 1 Like |

AF Nigeria Premier League 2015/2016 Netherlands Omeruo says goodbye to Chelsea, joins Besiktas this week. by Samm Audu Nigeria international Kenneth Omeruo will say his final goodbyes to Premier League club Chelsea this week to join Turkish champions Besiktas after the London club turned down last-ditch offer from a Spanish La Liga club, AfricanFootball.com can exclusively report. Omeruo and his representatives are expected to jet out from London this week to finalise his personal terms with Besiktas after both clubs agreed the switch. “Kenneth’s transfer to Besiktas is virtually completed with only the Turkish club to agree his personal terms and this will be sorted out this week when the player is there to do his medical,” a source informed AfricanFootball.com. “There was a late bid for him by a Spanish club, Celta Vigo, but Chelsea didn’t consider it.” Besiktas scouted the highly-rated Nigeria stopper after he posted five-stars displays against them last season while featuring for Kasimpasa. Kasimpasa won the first game 1-0 at home, while the reverse fixture ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Kasimpasa, who are based in Istanbul like Besiktas, could not afford the five million Euros Chelsea demanded to sell the Nigeria star outrightly. AfricanFootball.com has already scooped that Besiktas will make this transfer a permanent one after the initial season-long loan. africanfootball.com/news/633291/Omeruo-says-goodbye-to-Chelsea-joins-Besiktas-this-week 1 Like |

OFFICIAL: Bayern Munich Nigerian Teen Sensation Joins Augsburg [img]http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/07/11/official-bayern-munich-nigerian-teen-sensation-joins-augsburg/[/img] Dream Team VI invitee Chima Okoroji has left German Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich for fellow Bundesliga side Augsburg. Okoroji was among the list of 47 players called up by coach Samson Siasia at the start of camping by the Nigeria U-23s but club commitments prevented the 19 year old from honouring the invitation. He rose through the ranks at Bayern Munich and became a regular with U-17s and 19s of the Bundesliga giants but failed to make the first team despite been tipped to make his bow two seasons ago. The left full back who can also operate as a winger joined Augsburg on a year deal till the summer of 2017 and will team up with the youth team of the Bundesliga team from where his performances could earn him a first team debut. Born in England to a Nigerian father, he is eligible to represent both nations but he is yet to be called up at any level by both countries. owngoalnigeria.com/2016/07/11/official-bayern-munich-nigerian-teen-sensation-joins-augsburg/ 1 Like |

Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheGoodJoe(m): 7:22am On Jul 12, 2016 |
forgiveness: You enjoy making and dragging arguments. There is no guarantee that Iheanacho will not be known if he did not play in the U17 tournament. That I not true. He was already promising and just like others that did not play, there would have been another opportunity to show him. He might have gone to a Nigerian league club and his talent would have been noticed. That is the truth. |

TheGoodJoe: There was no U17 team as long as the camp is opened and no official list is published. Once, the list is made public then the U17 is constituted and camp is closed. Can you list the names of 22 players Garba Manu has in camp? |

forgiveness: You enjoy arguing unnecessarily. Even after I have told you Manu Garba has already selected a TEAM from the early U17 screening. That is his U17 team. That is not the final list. Even after the CAF U17, there can be changes. Using official and unofficial is just to drag that the coach does not have a team while he already has. Manu Garba already has his team. With time it can change. They are a Team. U17, in the National team camp, selected by the U17 National team Coach. |
