I do not want Iheanacho in the AFCON squad because I am not a fan of Rohr’s system and I do not think Rohr has what it takes to keep on improving Nacho. Nacho is better off without the AFCON distraction focusing on improving his game and soaking information from Rodgers. Thus training in a more offensive system.

How do you know he is not working hard?

“From what I’ve seen in training and when I’ve spoken to him, he has shown a wonderful appetite and enthusiasm to get better.

“We have a culture where we want to improve players and make them better and he’s responded very well to that.”... Brendan Rodgers.

Contrary to the lazy comments, Rodgers assessment shows Iheanacho is hungry to improve.

Captain Of Nigeria U17 Samson Tijani Loses Out On Move To Club Brugge Due To Multiple Representatives

The much talked about transfer of Nigeria U17 captain Samson Tijani to Belgium side Club Brugge won’t be happening, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Tijani was billed to join the Belgium team after the U17 Africa Cup of Nations which is the qualifiers for the World Youth Championship but the move suffered a set back due to uncertainty over his true representative.

He impressed the scouts of Club Brugge during the WAFU B U17 Championship in Niger Republic and contacts was made with his local team in Nigeria, which further strengthened the chances of the deal happening.

However it was called off after it was discovered that the 16 year old signed representative contracts with two other agents outside the one who brought the Club Brugge deal according to a source who is in the know about the deal.

” The deal is off. Tijani and the guys who brought the Club Brugge deal are no longer working. They called off their relationship with him after discovering that he has signed representative contracts with two other agency. It’s sad but it’s the reality “, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

From personal first hand experience what coaches say in public and particularly to the press and what they say in restricted circles are many many miles apart.

It is a "FOOLS PARADISE" to take seriously what managers and coaches say in public about players and particularly players in thier own club.

“Oyibo Eaglet” – Nigeria U17 Include Two Players Born Abroad In Final Squad For U17 AFCON

For the first time in the history of Nigeria U17 teams two players born outside the shores of Nigeria have made the squad for the 2019 U17 Africa Cup of Nations ‎, which serves as qualifiers for the World Youth Championship.

Owngoalnigeria.com exclusively gathered that Chelsea teen forward Adrian Akande and young Bournemouth goalkeeper Joseph Oluwabusola made the final list of 23 players selected for the tournament by coach Manu Garba.

Oluwabusola is not new to the team as he was part of the team to the WAFU B U17 Championship which Nigeria won to seal progress to the Africa U17 Cup of Nations but he could easily have missed out on the list of players to the tournament if not for the fact that first choice goalkeeper John Amah failed the mandatory Magnetic Resonance Imaging test, which is usually done to curb the menace of age cheats.

Akande on his part impressed the handlers of the team after training with the team for one week in Abuja and the omission of some forward players who are regulars in the team ‎due to the MRI test helped his inclusion in the final squad for the tournament which will begin on the 14th of April in Tanzania.

Overall four players born outside the shores of Nigeria took part in the screening exercise in Abuja but the duo of former Barcelona Escola Kelechi Ebenezer Ibe-Torti and Go Ahead Eagles Lateef Omidiji Junior were not considered good enough for the Nigerian team.

AIG07:
when did improving/developing a player becomes the job of a national team coach. The NT is not a grooming center. That's why I am not in support of Samu joining the team for AFCON when there are options of playing for the age grade teams(where grooming takes place).

Players are invited to the national team to replicate their club performances. It's either you deliver or you are out. These set of players are even lucky. Imagine If Obagoal, had received half of the repeated chances given to nacho and Ighalo to redeem themselves. I bet you he would have been our second all time goal scorer just behind Yeking. Nacho and Ighalo have enjoyed a very rare grace. Just think of it. They both went 1year as Eagle's striker without a goal. Yet they were always the first on the list.

How many days do the players spend with these coaches when on national assignments. So cut Rohr{though not fan of his) some slack.


If we are to go by your claim, it is better he stay out of the national team till the time Rohr sees out his contract.

do4luv14:



I support you, he should work hard, and if he still didn't see game time, should move out on loan, by borrowing a leaf from Musa

zoboizee:


1. Still can't trap the ball properly till now as a professional footballer. Which is elementary.

2.Poor skill set.

3. Avoids his right foot on the ball as if it's plagued. He even scored a goal raising his right foot up in order to use the left foot.

Earthquake2:


Mane has 17 goals this season, Zaha could have possibly had 18 playing for Crystal Palace

Who's world class now?

edi287:

By taking Pks?? How many chances has he created? You are aware that unlike Mane, he is the focal point of his team?
How many Pks have Mane won that he didn't take too? Zaha is great player but not elite. It's not like he'll go to Spurs/City/Liverpool/Manure and become the focal point.

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho should not dear move. Even if Rodgers brings in another striker he favours, Nacho should keep his head down and soak as more knowledge as he can.

At least he should spend a year with Rodgers. It is very hard for players to get this kind of opportunity.

When the chances comes for Nacho to play, he will be playing in an offensive system that suits and will bring out his quality.

AIG07:
How time flies!

Can't believe that the same set of people who stood vehemently against the idea of Nacho been dropped from the national team immediately after the world cup are now in support of the motion. I remember them[b] calling us haters[/b](still don't know who brought that word to this thread- one of the reasons I lost interest in commenting). But I believe that those who want him out them were his true supporters.

I wanted him out so he could buckle up in his club and earn his place in the national team before Afcon 19. Making it now looks like a mirage. I hope he discover his old self.

S. MOSES, CHUKWUEZE, HENRY, S. KALU
I'll pick Simon Moses ahead of Samu, Henry and S. Kalu.
I don't know how we forget things quickly. Is it not the same Simon that was instrumental to our World Cup Qualification? Oh. His pairing with V. Moses on the flanks was beauty to watch. It was painful seeing him missing out at the Mundial. His wealth of experience and understanding of African football will come to play at Afcon. So why drop him!

Of a truth, Samu has potential and that is it for now - POTENTIAL.
I'll rather have him drafted to the U-20 world cup. He can continue his development there. He needs it more than anyother things
Note: He hasn't even reach Nacho's first professional year Stat(14goals and 8 assist or so in lesser time) . Still waiting for end of season before I pass my judgement on the lad.

andrew444:


Bros you wan kill nacho?

Make e move abeg

Take a look at Andrej Kramarić today, dude was poor in leicester

Andrej Kramarić is now world class, dude almost join bayern self, hope you watch croatia for world cup?

Nacho wont lack offers for europe top 4 leagues, i beat my chest to that.

TheGoodJoe:


What you are detailing there is Kramarić shining. This is what Nacho does not need now. What is most important is training everyday under a high intensity system. If Rodgers was not at Leicester City, I would have said leave but fortunately, he is with a genius tactician. The team is training hard and improving everyday. Nacho needs to be part of the process. After developing and improving to a higher grade, he can seek for a team with a very sound offensive system an, where he would be assured regular playing time and then shine.

After that other things will fall in place like the national team.

For now, he should keep learning.

TheGoodJoe:


I have said it before. Most of the decline in Rohr’s system came after the loss to South Africa. I do not know if his job was threatened but the man stopped playing with bravery and creativity.

To remind you, in that game he when all in with Nacho upfront, Awaziem in defence and also called Kayode and Osimhen.

After that loss, fear entered the man's bone.

andrew444:


Bros time no dey for all this things you dey talk

Dude will be 23 soon, he need to start doing well,i want him to leave
