If they could do same thing to our 2013 AFCON Hero Sunday Mba, then what stops them from doing same thing to Victor Osimhen?

These whites with their yanga eh!

Icon4s:


There is absolutely nothing wrong in inviting him for trials. He is nt yet a senior international. Even some nt well established senior internationals go for trials too.

They may have only seen him at the U17 WC and they would physically want to see him perform.

It is normal for U17 players to go for trials. It is now left to Osimhen to prove his worth.

BTW u peeps overrate these our young players a lot.

AF Nigeria Nigeria Premier League 2015 FC Taraba
Portuguese club chase Nigeria U23 ace
[/size]

Nigeria U23 midfielder Usman Mohammed

The Portuguese club of Nigeria international Shehu Abdullahi Uniao Madeira are believed to have tabled an offer of about 400,000 Euros for Nigeria U23 midfielder Usman Mohammed.

Uniao Madeira, the hometown club of Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, are ready to pay in three instalments for the former FC Taraba skipper.

It is now left for Usman’s handlers to agree or reject this offer.

The versatile Usman will move to Europe as a free agent as he was only on loan at Taraba after a failed move to play in Ukraine.

He was an ever-present at the recent U23 AFCON in Senegal which Nigeria won, has been capped by the Super Eagles and he is currently in the Eagles training camp bound for next month’s CHAN in Rwanda.

still i did't like the idea
that how wenger lost essien,drogba, ronaldo and zlatan when they were younger

CFCman:
Who are the 3 overaged players you would like to see on the plane to Rio next year?

Mine are Ighalo, Carl Ikeme and Oshaniwa.
An attack comprising the likes of Moses Simon, Osimhen, Iheanacho, Ighalo, and Awoniyi would be special!

terzurum5:


If Arsenal offers any thing less, Victor should just fly to Wolfsburg straight. Afterall, Wolfsburg is also a good club, at the moment, there are even hotter than Arsenal.

forgiveness:


Include Yaya Toure. Samuel Eto, Petre Cech, Angel di Maria and Vicent Kompany.

Oshaniwa ke? Y? How?

really?they have lost alots of talents cos of this useless policy

I'll pick Ahmed Musa ahead of Odion Ighalo for the olympics...
Other possible addictions to the main stream could include; Onazi, Efe Ambrose, Mikel, Solanke and perhaps Aneke

For team balance however, I would love to see this three
Ahmed Musa, Efe Ambrose and perhaps Onazi or Mikel... These three will bring loads of experience to the team.

However, it is unlikely that club sides would release their players for the tournament since it is not a FIFA tournament.
Sad to say, players like Isaac Sucess, Ahmed Musa, Odion Ighalo, Efe Ambrose, Onazi will HARDLY be released for the tournament.

Icon4s:


Oshaniwa ke? Y? How?

CFCman:

He can overlap and defend well

I'm telling you. Yaya Toure wasn't offered anything even after he went on trials. Wenger told him, he didn't see him as a midfielder and that he should convert to a striker. Yaya Toure said he can play like Patrick but wenger replied 'no, you can't play like Patrick'. The rest they say is history.

Icon4s:


Better than Echiejile?

Icon4s:


Better than Echiejile?

TheGoodJoe:


Oshaniwa is far better than Echiejile. Echiejile's injury gave Oshaniwa the chance to represent us well at the World Cup. Echiejile's return coincided with the poor form of the Super Eagles which resulted in the poor games of the qualifiers.

Coach Keshi noticed it late and returned Oshaniwa to the line up. Our results improved but it was too late and Coach Keshi faoled to qualify us.

Oshaniwa is far ahead of Echiejile in all aspects, defending, overlapping and most of all, crossing.

CFCman:

For sure. Goodjoe has said it all.
Musa Mohammed would be the 2nd choice left-back.

Icon4s:


Since when did Musa Mohammed start playing left back?
Besides Musa Mohammed is U23 so he is eligible already and nt as over-aged.

I dnt even want any over aged player at that left back. We have good U23 players that can play that role.

CFCman:

My mistake. Mohammed is a right-back.
Also, I've changed my mind on inviting Carl Ikeme to the squad. The keeper that played in the last Olympic qualifiers is very good; he deserves a starting spot in Brazil. Ikeme can be one of the 4 "alternates", not on the main 18-man squad.

The 3 over-aged players could be in the defense, midfield and attack.

Icon4s:


I simply dnt agree. Oshaniwa was instrumental to our nt qualifying for the last AFCON.He was usually out of position and found it difficult to track back. In the commencement of the current AFCON qualifiers Keshi gave the left back role to Kingsley Madu.

TheGoodJoe:


Echiejile recovered and flopped. That is a fact. Echiejile is a weak crosser. If I start digging my comments, you will see complaints I made.

If you remember Oshaniwa running to celebrate with Coach Keshi in one of the qualifiers, it was due to his impact on the team.

I actually watch that wing a lot. There is no way you can compare them. I just hope Coach Keshi gives the young man a chance. When Oshaniwa plays, you do not notice his forward runs and track backs because he does it effortlessly.

TheGoodJoe:
I do not think we need an overage wing back. I think the midfield and central defence needs the experience players.

Oshaniwa should fight for his chance to play in the National team. I hope Oliseh gives him a chance. He fits the big club criteria playing for Hearts in Scotland.

Icon4s:


We need to groom a new left back from this U23. The Super Eagles deserve better left backs than Echiejile and Oshaniwa.

In 1996 Celestine Babayaro featured at d Olympics and subsequently replaced Ben Iroha at left back. We need to do same here. We are tired of Echijile and Oshaniwa options. Both are mediocre left backs.
