BascoVanVeli:


but he is not on a modest club, IBB is on top of the turkish league with 2 points. It's the same as leicester last year, when a team is doing good the chances are few, the turkish cup has not yet kicked off for the big clubs and so right now the chances of playing are not great. Still Musa had offers even before this season and with his performances for Nigeria i am sure he will have alot of teams chasing him. I must agree that he has a bad agent, i still ask myself how did we get here, with all the big clubs that have been mentioned by his name.

It is a modest club, they are just playing above themselves at the moment. Musa joined them when they were just promoted from the second division. He could not even break into the team then There is no guarantee that their form will last till the end.

They are playing above themselves right now.

Who starts as the no.9 in Uyo? Ideye or Ighalo?
Rohr has another big decision to make also upfront. Hmmmm.....

Rohr Explains Why Watford Loanee Uche
Agbo Is Crucial To His Squad Ahead Clash With Algeria



As Nigeria get set to take on Algeria on the 12th of November in a World Cup 2018 qualifiers, coach of the Nigeria senior national team Gernot Rohr has revealed his admiration of Granada midfielder cum defender Uche Agbo.


Agbo who was first called up by Rohr for the
game against Zambia but didn’t get to play in the 2-1 away win in Ndola, was once again included in the list of players invited for the clash against Algeria.


The 20 year old who can play in central defence
and midfield has been ever present for Spanish
La-Liga side Granada, where he has been on loan since the start of the season.


His performance against Barcelona, where he
played as a defensive midfielder one weeks ago,
earned him praises from the manager despite his team losing 1-0 to the Catalan giants.


“Agbo did very well against Barcelona (gallant
Granada lost 1-0 at Camp Nou), where he played as a defensive midfielder,” he said.


“I also like him because he can play in midfield
and at centre back.”

EAGLES BONUS FOR ZAMBIA WIN READY, NFF TO PAY ROHR 2 MONTHS' SALARY THIS WEEK

Nigeria match winners in Zambia - Kelechi Iheanacho (left) and Alex Iwobi

Super Eagles will get their win bonus of $5,000-a-man for the victory in Zambia last month, while coach Gernot Rohr will finally get his salary for two months’ this week.


The leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) had promised the Eagles they will be paid their win bonus for the World Cup qualifier in Ndola before the match against Algeria.


An Official informed: ”The Eagles bonus for the
win in Zambia is ready and they will be paid
before Saturday’s match against Algeria.”

It was further gathered that the secrecy that has shrouded Rohr’s $47,000-a-month salary will be partly put to rest this week when he is paid for his first two months of work.


The experienced Franco-German coach deflected a question regarding the payment of his salary during a press conference last month in Abuja before the match in Zambia.


The former Gabon and Niger coach simply said it has never been in his place to discuss finances in public.


“Rohr will be paid this week,” disclosed another
top official.

NFF president Amaju Pinnick has claimed he has secured a company to foot the bills of Rohr, but the identity of this sponsor remains a mystery even to Pinnick’s fellow NFF executive committee members.

So, I watched part of the Federation Cup Final today...*purses lips*...

I was not impressed

Maybe I caught the teams at the wrong time, but the game was sloppy IMO. What is it with Nigerian players and aerial balls? Do they have some pact somewhere that stops them from just kicking the ball on the ground?

I was genuinely put off by their style of play, in honesty, the only thing that impressed me in the half hour I watched were the surprisingly, good-looking guys on the pitch. At least we won't send players to the continent looking like the poster boys for hunger in Africa, unlike some countries.....


Anyway, congrats to FC Ifeanyi Ubah, they've won the battle, now it's time to prepare for the war

Ahmed Musa is a winger, he's not in contention for Ighalo's position, he had a por game today anyway, that McAully guy gave him hell.

I'd play Ideye and Iheanacho up top together

William Troost-Ekong made the team of the season in Norway.... The man has established himself as one of the best in Norway. Hopefully, He returns to Belgium (GENT) and makes an impact.

I believe that he has the biggest potential out of all the defenders at the moment.

"King Kong" Ekong!!!! I'm so excited....

In Scandinavian Europe, he's proven to be one of the very finest.

The team's potential is above the two of them.

Goodmorning house. I wish you all a blessed week. I think, I would go with Ideye. Because, if ideye is not scoring, he is creating assist for others to score. I think Ighalo has this confidence issue right now. I would have love to see Isaac.

These two guys love themselves. This is the kind of relationship we like to see in the team. Not the kind where people won't like passing the ball to each other.

Ba******(spelling) is a small club. They are not in the class of Beskitas, Galatasary or Fenerbache. They are currently punching above their weight at the moment.
Don't you think his current situation will put off potential suitors?

He is in a very good club, they stand alone on their log. They are on a leicester type run and no coach in his right mind will change a winning team.

their first choice right back is not even better than musa

JOHN OWOERI GOAL KING IN SWEDEN WITH

John Owoeri - Top scorer in Sweden for 2016

Ex-Nigeria youth international John Owoeri has
emerged the top scorer in Sweden for 2016 after he netted four times in Hacken's 7-0 bashing of Falkenbergs FF in the last game of the season.


He thus ended the season with 17 goals as
Hacken finished 10th on the table.

Sebastian Andersson of Norrkoping and Vidar Om Kjartansson of Malmo finished behind Owoeri with 14 goals apiece.

On Sunday, Owoeri scored in the 44th minute to give his side a 4-0 lead, he was then on target five minutes later to make it 5-0.

He scored the other goals in the 53rd and 70th
minutes.

Another Nigerian, Hakeem Araba, played for
Falkenbergs FF.

Isaac Success indeed is a miss against Algeria but we gotta make do with either Ideye or Ighalo. So Sir Icons, if na u be coach, who u go pick between the two to start for the battle of uyo against Mahrez and his Algerian gang?

We both know it's either of them for the starting role on Nov.12.

ALGERIA WILL BE TOUGH BUT WE HOPE TO
WIN - ROHR

Super Eagles of Nigeria

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has admitted the
Super Eagles face a very daunting task at home
against Algeria on Saturday but they still hope to win to consolidate the leadership of their World Cup qualifying section.


Nigeria welcome Algeria to Uyo Saturday in
continuation of the qualifying series for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.


Last month, Nigeria opened their final qualifying round for Russia 2018 with a heart-warming 2-1 win in Zambia, while Algeria were held to a 1-1 draw by Cameroon at home.


Rohr has a lot of respect for the North Africans,
but he said the Eagles are pressed to win to stay
on top of the group.

“It will be difficult against Algeria because they
are No.1 in Africa,” said Rohr on arrival in Nigeria
from his base in France.

“But we will try to beat them to have a good
position in our qualifying group.”

Nigeria will be without No.1 goalkeeper Carl
Ikeme, but welcome back on-form Chelsea's
Victor Moses, Watford striker Odion Ighalo and
Germany-based defender Leon Balogun.

The Eagles training camp for Saturday’s
showdown will open in Abuja today with most of
the call-ups due in from their foreign bases.

His situation will only bring suitors. The only players u can easily get from top teams are the ones not needed. This same modest club beat galatasary on the road last week and have a GD of 18. I have my own conspiracy on IBB's season so far but that will take long.

Yeah... Especially with the turkish intonation signs on the letters concerned.

Ideye.

Algerian-Nigerian Midfielder Ejenavi Predicts : Algeria 2 Nigeria.

Algerian-Nigerian midfielder Nabil Ejenavi has tipped the Desert Foxes to get their World Cup qualifying campaign back on track with a win against Nigeria in Uyo.

The 22-year-old was born to an Algerian mom and a Nigerian father from Warri, and has played two games for the U23 team of Algeria.

“I think my father will go for Nigeria but I’m all for Algeria. My prediction, a 2-1 to the Green, ” Ejenavi told dzfoot.com.

When asked to clarify which country will carry the day since the Nigerian and Algerian flags have shades of Green, he replied : “ Ours, Algerians. ”

Before their trip to Nigeria later this week, the Algerian squad trained for the first time on Sunday at National Technical Centre Sidi Moussa.

Hmmm... So far so good...

Sir Tbaba1234 endorses Ideye.

Sir BascoVanVeli also endorses Ideye.

Sir Icon4s... What will it be?

Seems everyone is leaning towards Ideye...

Sir TheGoodJoe... U nko?? I know it will be "Nacho upfront" talk... Looolllll

Madam Safarigirl... U nko? Who leads the line for you between Ideye and Ighalo?

note: pls... Anyone is free to answer oooo.... That no.9 role neva sure for anybody right now.
