Do you know if Chelsea is interested in selling him?

Chelsea can terminate their contract with him if they don't want him let's know if he will lack suitors

Kennedy is not a bad player

Yeah just the way Chelsea keep on extending omeruo contract and no hope of making the team

Chelsea will not terminate your contract because they will make money in selling you, no matter the amount

Coming to the issue of ignoring this lads until they hit stardom, I have made mention of that sometime ago stating that they should be snapped up and capped immediately they show promise but the issue is if the fans will welcome that.


Many in this thread will castigated such move with excuses that foreign born players gets preferential treatment just because they were born abroad. Also I believe Rohr doesn't want to rush in getting a rookie who is just cutting his teeth in professional football after half a season of decent performances.

Like i said earlier Eze will play for us in the future but on his on part he has to continue shunning out good performances for him to remain in the sight of our coaching crew and the football house

Humility017:
and if he joins the epl team it will be more difficult getting him.....

you can swiftly get this guys prior they rise to stardom....
Rohr messed up on this big Time...

parading the likes of Joel Obi, Ogu and Agu was bad business......

benji93:
Why are you using the phrase "fell out of favour" as if the coaches choice of players is always because he doesn't like him-cos that's the general meaning of the word. Pleases stop undermining the fact that a player could have well been dropped cos he is out of form, or a better player took his place. I had to dig the archives because of you, just to be certain i am not arguing blindly. How can someone who was playing almost regularly subsequent to his promotion in 2013 be relegated suddenly to the bench for most of the 2014 season.So you were wrong by stating that his troubles only begain in the 2015/2016 season. What did he do to "fall out of favour". If you cannot present a solid argument on why he "fell out of favour" , then i am afraid we can only assume he lost form or blew hot and cold-alternating good and bad performances. And if the last case is true, i am afraid i can only describe his career as average. So if you can provide facts that suggests otherwise, the argument that "he was average at best" holds. 2nd division of any league is not good enough as far as i am concerned. The idea that the championship is better than the premier league of czech republic for example is a deduction, so don't use that argument. A coach should only call a player plying his trade in the 2nd division of spain if he cannot find a player in the premier division. Otherwise you gotta call a player if he is playing regularly in the Turkish league(especially top half) and give a player playing in the championship the benefit of doubt. The best thing is to actually test a player playing in the second division of the premier league against a player playing in the premier division of the slovakian league, instead of inviting them based on a comparision between the reputation of the premier leagues of the two countries.

A decent career does not mean everything was rosy. He has had tough spots but overall, it has not been bad. Not everyone has to be a super eagles regular to have a decent career.

Several players fall out of favour and bounce back. And Falling out of favor does not mean a coach dislikes a player.

A player with over 120 appearances in the first and second divisions of Spain has had a decent career and yes we can objectively say that the second division of top countries is better than some top leagues in other countries.

TheGoodJoe:
Komekn is forgetting that there is a clause on the contract which gives City an interest in the deal. Leicester City can not just farm him out like that. Any team signing Nacho I think have to agree with the buy back clause. This also makes Nacho bad business for Leicester City who are hungry for more after the Maguire monumental scam.

Let's be honest - city will not be activating that 50m buy back clause anytime soon.
Leicester would be lucky to get 20m for Nacho at the moment.

England also have Connor Coady and Dunk in defence

connor coady wolves captain for that mater ooo

Very rugged CBs. Tomori should respect himself and join the super eagles lol.

Queens Park Rangers attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze has received a late call-up to England U21 team who are currently preparing for their 2021 UEFA European U21 Championship qualifiers against Turkey and Kosovo respectively.

The youngster was first ignored by Aidy Boothroyd while unveiling his squad for the encounters but the manager was forced to extend an invitation to the midfielder due to injuries picked up by Arsenal youngster Joe Willock and Dwight McNeil.

Eze made his debut for the European powerhouse against Italy U20 last year and he went on to feature in six more matches for the team.

West Brom loanee Grady Diangana was also handed a late call-up to Aidy Boothroyd's team.

Both players will hope to make a huge statement if given the chance to feature in the games scheduled to take place on Friday September 6, and Monday 9th respectively.

This will come as a sad news to Super Eagles fans who have so much desire to see the youngster represent Nigeria in the nearest future

Rohr Reveals Samuel Kalu Was Expected To Start For Super Eagles At AFCON


Coach Gernot Rohr has revealed that Samuel Kalu was expected to start for the Super Eagles at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations but had issues with his health.

The Bordeaux winger collapsed in training a day before the Super Eagles opener against Burundi and there had been suggestions that he suffered a heart attack but it was later debunked by the Nigerian Federation.

It is believed that Rohr didn't want to take a gamble on Kalu even after he was cleared by medics to play in the tournament, with the winger making only one start against Madagascar but impressed in a cameo against Tunisia in the third place playoff.

''Yes, he was expected in the starting team, like Collins who was injured the same day, the day before the match,'' Rohr explained to Gold FM's Point. G.

''We had to replace these two boys at the last moment, at the last moment. And we still won our first two games of the Africa Cup of Nations, and we were still qualified, so ... Kalu was expected to start at the AFCON.''

With the exception of the game against Dijon, Kalu has gone the distance in all the matches played by Bordeaux in the Ligue 1 this season.

Lol he will see

I dont think they will bench a record signing who have been impressive so far

I am dissapointed in mbaye diagne, i think he is not ambitious ,after fighting to return back to europe from china,rejecting epl offers for gala,thou not bad as gala is a big team,now na club bruge he dey and he will be 28 soon,scoring 42 goals in 44 turkish league games no easy oo, falcao might not even get such stats.

Na him sabi sha

be deceiving ursef...he wont consider playing for nigeria ONCE HE IS BEEN CONSIDERED FOR GAMES IN CHELSEA,playing a part-bit role in premiership,actively playing in cup games,uefa and oda competitions...and u expect england to consider a coady ahead of such a player?

Nigeria's first Xi against Algeria

Icon4s:
And this is where I think the NFF needs to come in. They really need to closely monitor and regulate the activities of these players' agents.

That's like giving giving armed robbers a FN SCAR 16 with all accessories optic sights with laser.

Do you know l know agents tjat have been cutting deals with NFF officials at the highest levels. They will then enforce players to sign with thier proffered NFF accredited agents.

BIG MISTAKE.

Los Angeles FC ace Philip Ejimadu stakes claim to end Super Eagles goalkeeping crisis

The goalkeeper of Major League Soccer (MLS) club Los Angeles FC Philip Ejimadu could well be the solution to the problematic goalkeeping position rocking the Super Eagles going by his individual statistics.

The 1.91m tall goalkeeper has the qualities needed by great goalkeepers.

The 20-year-old goalkeeper was listed for eight games this season for Los Angeles FC before he was loaned out to FC Tucson, where he is a regular and has been picked for several players of the game award and best saves of the week many times.

Ejimadu is blessed with superb reflexes and he controls his defence line with ease and authority.

The Minneapolis, Minnesota-born goalkeeper started his career at Nacional in Brazil before he joined MLS side Los Angeles FC.

Ejimadu was born in USA to Brazilian mother and a Nigerian father and was called by the USA U20 national team in 2018.

The big 20-year-old goalkeeper should be looked at as the one to solve Nigeria goalkeeping crisis as USA are also known to produce great goalkeepers, from Brad Friedel to Tim Howard to Kasey Keller.






*Another option who could come give Uzoho a push?

I swear he wont consider playing for nigeria oo, shebi he has started one game for chelsea already, make tomori just play 15 epl games for chelsea first, he wont even reason naija

Sorry coady is a better play than tomori and england will consider him ahead of tomori

BascoVanVeli:
He cannot terminate his own contract oga. That is why it is called MUTUAL because both parties have to agree.

Salary has nothing to do with anything because I am sure he will take a cut for the right move

It would be wisdom to have read my contribution properly before making a deduction.

I used the term CONTRACT MUTUAL TERMS what do you think that means❓

Unless you have spoken to KC directly that's presumption. Do you think anybody will pay him £70k a week with his current form.

I beg to differ, "falling out of favour" effectively means you have become less likable due to any of a wide variety of reasons, so try to be more definite next time. wAS he out of form? Was his lack of regular playing time due to preference-not necessarily poor performance. These are more specific points. Over 120 appearances in how many years? perhaps i would rethink my stance if he started 120 times. Throughout his 8-year career at Almeria and Lugo, he only played in the spanish top flight twice: 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons. In the 2013/2014 season Almeria finished 17th and were relegated in the following season. Do you call that decent? Mikel Obi had a decent career(top-end decent). And your argument that second division teams in top european countries are better than other european countries is not entirely correct, it's not an air-tight fact. 2nd division teams from top european countries don't compete against first division teams from other european countries. The only bases for such an assertion is that the first division teams in top european countries are better than other european countries. The fact that the aforementioned statement is true doesn't mean that 2nd tier teams of top european countries are generally better than top tier teams of other european countries. It's largely deductive, and it's objectivity can be be disputed. Moroever for most of the time Almeria competed in the segunda division at least while Azeez played for them they were lowly ranked, even finishing as low as 18th in 2015/2016 season. I am afraid i stick with average, and that's quite lenient.

Ejaria makes Championship team of the month

Humility017:
even the French league would have been better for him...
but unfortunately all that matters to him is the pounds he earn weekly and the quest for a British passport....just to show how low he reason and think

I actually do not blame him.

In reality which club in the French league will pay him £70K a week. He will being optimistic lucky to £25K a week, considering his current form. He will be taking a MASSIVE PAY CUT.

TheGoodJoe:
I think the best for Nacho now is to maintain his hard work in training. Gain the most from the opportunity and push for a loan move to a free-flowing attacking side in the Championship. A side that plays good footie but lacks quality finishers. Let us see if the momentum changes before January. If not a loan to a side that will guarantee him playing time. That must be ironed out before he transfers.

There is no top level Championship club that will take a player who has scored 4 goals in two seasons in the EPL.

The Championship is very physical and KC doesn't have that within his repertoire of attributes.

Or which teams do you suggest will take him in the Championship.

Earthquake1:
Loans are detrimental to a player's development

Ask the multitude of Chelsea loanees, or ask Omeruo

That's TOTALLY UNTRUE.

You are really good in bringing down a player, even benteke has been worst going to 2 seasons now

Nacho is a premier league proven player and will easily get a championship team, how can i mention names as if i am the club

Do you want me to list players that didnt do well in the epl and got a championship club and did well there?

Should i give you some few list?

You think say na by to come here come dey blow grammar

You wont speak bad of waste man solanke oooo

If dem tell you say player like temmu pukki who didnt live up to expectation at the scotish league while at celtic will tear the championship apart you go say na lie you go begin write newspaper here ,dude went to the danish league and redeem him self back and joined the championship now he is doing well in the epl, i am sure you will rate league one ahead of the Scottish league and danish league

komekn:
That's TOTALLY UNTRUE.

Even the logic of it is true

You can't really develop traveling from place to place
