FC PORTO,MONACO AND TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS SCOUTS TUSSLE OVER NASSARAWA UNITED DEFENDER
[/size]

There was mild drama at the Gee-lec Football Academy organized scouting programme in Abuja when scouts from FC Porto, Tottenham Hotspurs and Monaco wanted same player.


Nassarawa United centre back who can also play in midfield Ifeanyi Nweke played just 20 minutes and all three top scouts started pushing for who will have the 2015 Flying Eagles trainee.


”I wasn’t surprised he made such an impression because when they told me they were looking for central defenders I asked Nassarawa United to permit him to play just a day and am glad he didn’t dissapoint” Babawo Mohammed the facilitator of the scouting programme told owngoalnigeria.com.


“A decision on who will get him will be made b Friday but already he has earns himself recognition and hopefully in the summer he will leave for one of the three mentioned clubs not for trials but for outright signing”.


18 year old Nweke trained with the last U-20 team of Nigeria and was a shock omission from the team that won the AYC in Senegal as well as the World Cup team that went to Senegal.


Calm, neat in possession and a good passer of the ball he will tonight depart the shores of Nigeria for Algeria tonight with Nassarawa United ahead of their return leg clash against CS Constantine of Algeria where he is expected to help them defend their slim 1-0 lead from the first leg played in Abuja last weekend.

TheSuperNerd:
Yep... I recall this guy from the Super Six won by the Flying Eagles under Manu Garba in Abuja. He played in central defence and few times as Right-back wearing the No.5 or No.6 jersey.

Another fine defensive super prospect.

We just keep getting better and better in terms of rising quality options for the future (near and far).... What an avalanche of super talents we got coming through.... It's all getting Explosive in here. mehn!!! #smiles

Sir TheGoodJoe, thankfully my special soccer science and "more" lab's computer-networks' database is far more than enough to accommodate all these data.

Na wa ooo..... But this is really great for Nigerian football. Indeed, THE FUTURE OF WORLD SOCCER RESTS WITH NIGERIAN FOOTBALLERS OF TOP QUALITY (and what a large quantity of them we have coming through..... Pheewww!!).

TheGoodJoe:



So forgiveness do you think all our best talents are in Europe. If Babawo Mohammed did not organize this match, the scouts will not know him. There are loads of talents in our grassroots.

Tottenham Hotspur Midfielder Onomah, Liverpool Winger Ojo Get England Call-Up
[/size]

A pair of Anglo-Nigerian players have been named in the England U19s squad for the upcoming Elite Round of the UEFA U19s European Championship matches.


Tottenham Hotspur starlet Josh Onomah is among the four midfielders selected by head coach Aidy Boothroyd in his 18-player roster, while Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo also made the squad.


England U19s first face Georgia on Thursday, March 24th before squaring off against Greece and Spain on March 26 and 29th respectively.


Onomah, who is still 18, has made 19 appearances for Spurs in all competitions so far this season and was in action against Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League last Thursday.


Hemel Hempstead-born Sheyi Ojo made Liverpool’s bench against Manchester United last week.

forgiveness:



How old is he? 18 years. You see what i am talking about. If you are 20 years and you are still playing in Nigeria, it will be difficult to get a good club or a club in Europe. That's all.

TheGoodJoe:

forgiveness:



I thought Onomah is a Ghanaian. Anyway, both of them can only play for the U23 and the National team because they have been capped at the under age teams.

However, they should not be ignored.

Icon4s:


Onomah is an Igbo name. Let him continue with his development. We may get him if we need to.

TheGoodJoe:


Does that mean because it is difficult for the player to get a good club, then the player is no more good?

The truth of the matter is that a lot of great talents are left behind.

A look at how alleged Tottenham player Musa Yahaya is faring on loan
[/size]
Vincent Ralph
@VincentRalph1

The young Nigerian is said to be a Tottenham Hotspurplayer but he is currently on loan in Portugal.


According to a recent interview given by the agent of Musa Yahayato All Nigeria Soccer, the 18-year-old is officially a Tottenham Hotspur player despite the fact that no announcement has yet been made by the North London club.


Agent Babawo Mohammed is quoted as saying that while Tottenham now officially own the player they want him to spend time on loan while he waits for his work permit.


There has still been no official word from Spurson the matter, but assuming that is indeed the case – which it could well be given the player’s nationality and his lack of first-team football thus far – Tottenham fans may suddenly be keeping a close eye on Portuguese second division club Portimonense.


That is where Yahaya is currently on loan, so how is the attacking midfielder getting on?


As would be expected for one so young he is being bedded in slowly, watching matches against Gil Vicente and Covilha as an unused substitute before making his debut in a 1-0 victory against Farense.


Yahaya went one better the following match, building on that 45-minute appearance to play the whole match against Braga B, although it was a game to forget as his side crashed to a 5-1 defeat.


The alleged Tottenham youngster was not in the squad for the next game against Santa Clara before he returned to the squad, coming off the bench for the final 35 minutes in a 1-0 win against Oriental.


Yet to score or assist, it will be all about building up his match fitness and getting used to playing regular first-team football this season; and how quickly he does that could determine how soon he heads to White Hart Lane.


What do you think of the latest news regarding Yahaya?

forgiveness:


I definetely know it is an igbo name but i don't understand why they call him a Ghanaian in most articles i read about him.

Icon4s:


Just like how some articles were linking Obafemi Martins to Cameroun then.

forgiveness:




Really! But i was not joking about it. I try to find that article.

forgiveness:


Atleast, the good ones will definetely get a good club in Europe as long as they are young.

Icon4s:


Yeah, Martins had to come out open to declare his nationality as a Nigerian.
Those of us that New Martins right from the hood and knew also that Obafemi is a Yoruba name knew he was definitely a Nigerian.
So Immediately I saw that "Onomah". I jst knew he is Nigerian.

Icon4s:


I am not too pleased about Musa Yahaya's career development. Going by how he exploded at the U17 WC he should by now be playing in same league as the likes of Iheanacho, Success and Iwobi. He jst clocked 18 last December and then jst signed a professional contract and I think that greatly affected him bc he had to endure a long wait even staying at home for over 5months jst playing football on the streets.

He needs to get his game moving. Spurs is a very competitive side and he needs to be in a Flying form for him to be considered for their next season's pre-season's tour.

He will be vital to our next FIFA U20 campaign. I wish him an accelerated progress.
TheGoodJoe I need your view on this Yahaya's case.

tbaba1234:
Just found out that the great Findi George is the under 19 coach of PEC Zwolle.

A great link to get Ehizibue to play for Nigeria.

Icon4s:


Finidi George. I just feel he has not forgiven the Nigerian Football fraternity.

His younger brother, Igineware George - a former youth international, was killed by Irate 3SC fans in Ibadan after a game.

"Who killed Igineware George?" was the question on the lips of Nigerians then. Till date no one knows who killed Igineware George. The NFA then didn't press enough on the investigation of Igineware's death. The Police swept the case under the carpet.

In 2002 Finidi alongside Sunday Oliseh and some others were disgracefully suspended from the Super Eagles after finishing 3rd at the AFCON. A team that lost 2-1 AET to Senegal in the semis. Senegal finished the game with 10 men plus Oruma lost a penalty in the second half of Extra-Time. NFF and Nigerians called for the head of the Senior Players in the Team. Oliseh and Finidi were axed.

That was abt the last time Finidi George was in the News.

I hope, just like Oliseh, he has moved-on and put behind that incident.

tbaba1234:


I remember that. Really sad.

We then went to the world cup with average players.

If our football house was not so messed up and notorious in owing salaries, he would have made a good addition to one of the youth teams. I doubt he will want anything to do with the NFF though.

TheGoodJoe:


Yara Yara, your security at the gate leaked some information to me. He said you ran a simulated test to find out more about the Acute Selection Headache and your Program crashed. After debugging, it said Super Talent Overload.

He said you bought a Super Computer with some advanced database to deal with the effect of more rising talents with respect to the Olympics squad.

Keep up the good work. Your perseverance is impressive.

TheGoodJoe:

Clubs will not sign all the prolific ones, so it is wrong to make it look as if we should only search Europe for talents for the National team.

That is also why we can not afford to use our U17 to scout talents in Europe because we leave behind a lot of promising talents.

forgiveness:



Who no like better thing? You mean clubs will not sign Iheanacho, Awoniyi, Success, Nwakali, Osimhen, Rabiu Ibrahim, etc after seeing their talents? hehehe! Sir, pls tell you joking.

European clubs usually search for young talented players.


Bros, talent pass talent. So, we should not try to turn our national teams to market. If the ones in foreign lands are more talented and better than the ones on ground then they should be giving the chance to play for their father's land. Afterall, the purpose scouting for players is to discover the best of the best.


We don't need to put all our eggs in one basket. We are losing alot of talents with that awkward policy.

TheGoodJoe:


Do you think if Coach Amunike set his eyes on only European talents and did not scout our local grassroots talents that the European clubs will see Kelechi Nwakali and Osimhen to sign?

That is why finding the special grassroot talents is important and beneficial to our team.

Left to you, Coach Amunike should not have carried Osimhen and scouted European academies for a hitman, missing the services of a young boy who made a historical appearance smashing the U17 goal scoring record.

We have more special talents in our grassroots than Europe.

You guys can cry about the Dele Alli's and Barkley's without knowing that in our grassroots, we have missed players better than these.

forgiveness:



What we are saying is Amuneke or whosever is there should set his eyes only on the best. Osimhen and Nwakali might turn over out to be average when you compare them to Ross Barkley and Dele Ali. That's the point.


So, do you mean if we add Ross Barkley, Dele Ali, David Alaba and Jordon Ibe to our national team, they will not add value?

Who is better than Ross, Ali and Alaba in our present national team?
