I personally don't think we'll even miss him, so why give him relevance he doesn't deserve? We have better prospects, we'll focus on them. We can talk about them.

Please, anyone who wants to talk of foreign borns should tell us of those who are still eligible to play for us and stop reminding us of those who have lost their eligibility. They are not our business anymore and we should give them that status.

Thank you. I just tire.

FIFA-FREE WINDOW: Eagles, Senegal clash in
London



Sportinglife can reveal exclusively today that
chieftians of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have secured an international friendly between the Super Eagles and their Senegalese
counterparts at a yet to be named stadium in
London.

Sportinglife scooped further that the Senegalese game is the second of two matches that the Eagles would play in March 2017, the first been a game against an unnamed African country, with the venue yet to be disclosed.


Interestingly, Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr is expected to depart the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) tonight for France on vacation for an undisclosed period, since the Eagles don’t have matches until March 2017.


But those who should know at the Glasshouse
revealed that Rohr will cut his vacation to watch
the matches of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations
holding in Gabon, where he is expected to watch two of Nigeria’s group opponents in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Cameroon and Algeria.

We need this kind of match.

I would prefare the 1st of the two games in March to be against a relatively weaker opposition so we use it to try new players. Then against Senegal we play to our full potential.

( PICTURE): FC Porto Nigerian Trio (Yahaya,
Awaziem, Moses) Looking dapper In Suits At FC Porto Event




Three of the six Nigerians on the book of
Portuguese side FC Porto were well dressed and
good looking in suits at an event organised by the club few weeks ago.

Picture picked up by Owngoalnigeria.com can
confirm that the trio of Chidozie Awaziem, Musa
Yahaya and Moses John were at the event dressed in all black suits with shoes to match.


Awaziem who had his breakthrough last season is still waiting for his first appearance this season for the main team, although he has been a regular for the B team in the lower league.


On his part Yahaya who was signed from
Portimonense in a three way transfer that also
includes leaving Tottenham Hotspur on a
permanent base, has been training with the first
team which has in a way stopped his debut for
the B team, where he is expected to get games
before making the step up.


Former Mutunchi Academy prospect Moses John recently joined the U-18s of the club this
summer, bringing the number of Nigerians on the books of the club to six.


FC Porto other Nigerian players include Mikel Agu who is out on loan, Chidera Ezeh also out on loan and Samuel Chukwueze who will team up with the team once he clocks 18 next year.

Anyhow, Ejaria was with us in 2013 at U-17 level but schooling and Arsenal stopped him from UAE 2013. Similar thing stopped him from New Zealand 2015.

He's called the Nigerian Pogba and will get his time. Truth is KELECHI NWAKALI IS THE "REALEST" DEAL IN OUR CENTRAL MIDFIELD.

Senegal Test Lined Up For Eagles In London
For Rohr To Try Out Isacc Success, Aluko &
Others



Another friendly game has been lined up for the
Super Eagles of Nigeria by the Nigeria Football
Federation according to reports gathered by
Owngoalnigeria.com.

Already arrangements have been concluded to
play Egypt in Dubai on the 9th of January 2017 in a friendly game, which will be prosecuted by
largely home based players.

However the NFF are also taking advantage of the FIFA free window in March to arrange another friendly, this time around in London and it will be prosecuted mostly by foreign based players.

The game will be against Senegal with the venue most likely to be Craven Cottage, home ground of Championship side Fulham FC, where Omatsone Aluko who recently issued a come and get me plea to the Super Eagles coach plays.


It is expected that Coach Gernot Rohr will call up the 27 year old, who last played for Nigeria in
2014 and Watford FC forward Isacc Success
could be handed a call up as well.


Players who distinguished themselves in the
penultimate friendly against Egypt in January are also expected to make the cut for the friendly against Senegal in March.

Rohr Alerts Top Teams In Europe -Hardworking Etebo Is Good Enough For Top
European Club



Top European teams have been urged to sign
Super Eagles rave of the moment Oghenekaro
Etebo by coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria
Gernot Rohr.

Etebo moved to newly promoted Portuguese side CD Feirense in January, and helped them gain promotion to the top flight where injuries have restricted him to just four appearances this
season.

Rohr believes the 21 year old who can operate in the midfield or attack has done enough with
Nigeria, starting from the Rio 2016 Olympics
where he scored four goals in Nigeria’s 5-4 win
over Japan to earn a move to a top club in
Europe.



”I understand he recently moved to Portugal, not too bad a place for footballers to start their
careers but his recent performances showed how much quality he has which should earn him a move to a top club” He told owngoalnigeria.com.


”He has the quality to play in a top league for a
top team in Europe, it’s all so obvious and with all due respect to his present team, he won’t be
around for long if he maintains his current form”.

Interest in Nigerian, but no talks yet

Reports suggesting Tottenham Hotspur,
Hamburg, Chelsea, West Ham United,
Middlesbrough, WBA, Watford and Newcastle
United are interested in 19-year-old (20 in
December) Genk defensive midfielder Wilfred
Ndidi, who can also play centre-back, may not be
totally accurate.


Standing 1.87 m (6 ft 2 in) the Nigerian certainly
has the stature to be a centre-back and would
help provide versatility within the squad.

Eric
Dier has been performing there in the absence of
Toby Alderweireld through injury, leaving Victor
Wanyama to soldier on on his own with Mousa
Dembele injured, Harry Winks learning his trade
and Tom Carroll simply not up to the task.


Agent William Bogaerts told All Nigeria Soccer
that he knew nothing of interest from Rafa
Benitez managed Championship side, Newcastle
United and confirmed no talks have taken place,
although he didn't deny there was interest from
us.

"I do not know about interest from
Newcastle. Ndidi came for national
team duties [he came on as a sub in
Nigeria’s 3-1 World Cup qualifying
win over Algeria on Saturday] and no
talks have taken place with Newcastle
United, Watford or Spurs. Genk will
definitely tell me if the interest is
concrete."

Honestly this man is genius, half ur work is done for u when ur player is at the right club, i am just glad we have a coach that uses the media to the players advantage. The time has gone when we let our players stay in bad situations.

Yep... We gotta admit it. Siasia started it with Etebo in that 1-1 AFCON qualifier against Egypt.

But Rohr seems to have perfected it....

.......................................................................

REVEALED: Playing Etebo & Mikel In The
Midfield, Siasia’s Idea Perfected By Rohr



The idea of playing Oghenekaro Etebo and Mikel
Obi in the midfield, which was was effective for
Nigeria in their recent World Cup 2018 qualifiers
win over Algeria was actually a brain work of
former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia.


Before Siasia took handles Etebo as his coach at
U-23 level for Nigeria, the 20 year old CD Feirense ace has largely been played in the attack, on either flanks or as top striker but Siasia saw more in him and converted him to a midfielder with the license to bomb forward.


It was Siasia who first paired Etebo and Mikel in a midfield three with Eddy Onazi in the Super
Eagles, in the games against Egypt during the ill
fated attempt to qualify for next year Africa Cup
of Nations.

However while Siasia played Etebo ahead of Mikel, new coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr played him just behind Mikel, a trick which
worked like magic in the game against Algeria
which Nigeria won 3-1.

The idea of playing Etebo behind Mikel was so
done by Rohr due to Mikel’s lack of pace and
playing Etebo behind means the Chelsea ace
would be free to go forward with sufficient cover
behind him, thanks to Etebo’s abilities to make
up grounds with his pace.

That idea worked out well for the manager as
Mikel was among the goalscorers, ironically he
was set up by Etebo and the game was one of his best in Nigerian colours in a long time,
particularly in the first half.

Uhmmm.... Can Ebuehi still be referred to as a benchwarmer? He's started Den Haag's games in recent times... Oh well, whatever... **smiles**

Nigeria Target Ebuehi : Ask Rohr Why He Is
Interested In A Benchwarmer



ADO Den Haag right wing-back Tyronne Ebuehi has revealed that he was shocked to learn of his invitation to the Nigerian national team ahead of their World Cup qualifier versus Algeria, admitting that he’s still learning his craft.


The Dutch-born Ebuehi received a surprising phone call from Super Eagles manager Rohr few weeks before the game against the North Africans and told him point blank he wasn’t interested for now because he is eyeing a regular spot in the ADO Den Haag’s first team.


The 20-year-old had made only 19 starts for the
first team of ADO Den Haag when he was
summoned to Nigeria’s senior squad.


Asked why a benchwarmer at ADO Den Haag was called up, Ebuehi told his club’s official webpage :

“A good question. You would actually have to ask them (laughing). But I’m someone who never gives up, will always give everything.”


“There is still a lot to improve in my game.
Defensively, I already improved a lot, only there
are also offensive actions of a modern fullback.

“I’ll have to develop more in me. I am sometimes afraid to go forward. I work every day to improve that aspect. I train for example, many on crosses. Attacks still feels familiar.”

Allnigeriasoccer.com has contacted Ebuehi,
who is eligible to represent Netherlands and
Nigeria, regarding his international future but he
declined to comment.
