goldfish80: You just make statements without pondering. I said Kaka will make a good forward. It is so simple. Where in my quote did I say better than Shevchenko? You can not make that comparison unless you compare them play the same role. Na wa. |

goldfish80: You have seen Iheanacho. He clearly stated that Iheanacho's success did not surprise him. It did not for one second surprise me or the City. It is an idea I followed for long. Iheanacho's success for City youth teams happened while he played as a striker. So it shows the limitation in the topic we are arguing but you choose to argue. 1 Like |

Nigeria Coach Blast – It’s All Political, Iheanacho Should Have Won Golden Boy Award Head coach of Nigeria U-17 team Manu Garba has criticised the organisers of the Golden Boy Award over their choice of Bayern Munich teen star Renato Sanchez as winner ahead of Kelechi Iheanacho of Manchester City. The annual award for Europe’s most impressive footballer under the age of 21 is run by the Italian newspaper Tuttosport, who will present the trophy to Sanches at a ceremony in Monte Carlo on Monday night. The 19-year-old, who joined Bayern in the summer from Benfica for an initial €30m helped Portugal win Euro 2016. However Manu Garba is of the opinion that since the award is a personal award, it should be based on individual accolade and not team award, hence he feels his former U-17 protegee Iheanacho should have won it. “It’s all political, considering what Iheanacho did last season, he should have won the award. It’s like it’s now reserved for players with big price tag. Iheanacho deserves it” He told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” As a matter of fact, the world know his quality so, it’s not an issue that should bother him. He will win many awards solely on merit. He is still very young”. Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/25/nigeria-coach-blast-its-all-political-iheanacho-should-have-won-golden-boy-award/ |

EXCLUSIVE: Red Hot Olarenwaju Kayode Could Gatecrash Super Eagles Squad But Rohr Has……………. Former Nigeria youth international Olarenwaju Kayode, who is in good goal scoring form for Austrian side, Austria Wien is very much in the plans of manager of the Nigeria senior national team Gernot Rohr. The former ASEC Mimosas goal king has been consistent in front of goal for Austria Wien both in the continental and domestic scene. In the league he has three goals from eleven games, in addition to the 13 he scored last season, which was his debut season after moving from Israeli side Maccabi Netanya. His fine form in the Europa League has seen him scored four goals including the equaliser against Roma, in the last round of Europa League game. And in the domestic cup he has two goals to his name. However, while he is well on course to gatecrash the Super Eagles team, he has little or no chances of making the squad for the game against Algeria, as he (Rohr) has picked his forwards for the World Cup 2018 qualifiers game. Kayode alongside other players on the radar of the manager are all lined up to play friendly games for the team next year, before the commencement of the World Cup 2018 qualifiers next year.

EXCLUSIVE: Rohr Targets Akpeyi And Bosnian Based Nigerian Goalkepper Nwokolor For Super Eagles Duties Head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr is putting final touches to his list for Nigeria’s next World Cup 2018 qualifiers tie against Algeria in Uyo. Rohr has ruled out inviting home based players to the team. However goalkepper Ikechukwu Ezenwa will be retained by the German but he has also made plans to call up Chippa United shotstopper Daniel Akpeyi. Akpeyi will take the place of Emmanuel Daniel who was ironically the first choice goalkepper at the Rio 2016 Olympics ahead of Akpeyi, but the South African based shotstopper has kept goal for the Super Eagles on seven previous occasions. His experience and constant game time for Chippa United in the Premier South Africa League makes his selection a no-brainer. But Rohr is also planning for the future with David Nwokolor who keeps goal for Bosnian side Vitez, where he is on loan from Croatian side Rijeka firmly in his plans. Rohr is well aware of the 21 year old Nwokolor, and has penciled him for future invitation to the team, but there’s no chance of him making the team for the game against Algeria. ” There are friendly games planned for next year and Nwokolor is among those under consideration. The Algerian tie is too soon but subsequently he will be called up. He is young and will benefit from training with the senior team” a source close to the coach said.

Double delight for Mfon Udoh in CAF Champions League & awards Enyimba striker, Mfon Udoh, has expressed delight at finishing as top scorer in the 2016 CAF Champions League and at the same time being shortlisted for the African Player of the Year (based in Africa) award. Udoh explained to supersport.com that he always had self-belief in his talent despite facing a period of drought in front of goals in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). "It's an awesome feeling for me (to be named among the nominees for the CAF awards and also winning the top scorer award in the Champions League)," Udoh told supersport.com. "I never doubted myself in anyway but I never thought I'll be nominated for the CAF award. I'll credit my teammates for this and also this is a feat achievable by God's grace." But the striker enjoyed a purple passage in the CAF Champions League this year and his goals helped two-time African champions, Enyimba, reach the group stage of the continent's biggest club competition for the first time since 2011 when they were knocked out in the semis by Morocco's Wydad Casablanca. The Peoples Elephant struggled in the group stage, managing just a win over eventual champions, Mamelodi Sundowns. Enyimba then finished 13 points off the title race in the Nigerian top-flight. Their failure to impress in the CAF Champions League, the NPFL and the Federation Cup, leaving them without a trophy this season came under severe criticism which is not lost on Udoh. "It was the best season for me, because it could have been better. But I stand to be corrected. Can anyone show me a player in Enyimba this season that has done well? None," Udoh said in defence. Udoh wants to savour the moment just like two years ago when he emerged top scorer in the NPFL, becoming the first player to score 23 goals in a single season in Nigeria. The Enyimba forward emerged top scorer in the CAF Champions League, scoring nine goals, three more than Wydad's Reda Hajhouj in second place.

[b][size=14pt]Rohr Reacts To Rumours Of Unpaid Two Months Salary By The NFF[/size] Head coach of the Nigeria senior national team has reacted to rumours making the round that he is yet to be paid by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), since he resumed as coach of the team two months ago. German coach Rohr is reportedly on a salary of $47,000 (N18.6m), but rumours has it that the cash strapped NFF will struggle to pay the salary of the coach due to the economy problems in Nigeria. The issue of non payment of salary to coaches has been a problem peculiar to the NFF, as witnessed with the last two coaches of the team and various coaches in the Nigeria national team set up. Although the coach revealed in September that he is not bothered about being owed salary, as he is fully focused on qualifying Nigeria for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Owngoalnigeria.com can reveal, that he has not been paid since taking over the Super Eagles job two months ago, a report the manager played down during a chat with Osasu Obayiuwana. ” Salary’s secondary. I am here to work. Even when it’s not coming immediately, I’m not hungry”. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/24/rohr-reacts-to-rumours-of-unpaid-two-months-salary-by-the-nff/[/b] 1 Like |

Am not sure most Nigerian games is on prime time Espn or sky so whatever he does for Nigeria doesn't get enough resonance around the globe. And if we are being sincere here almost all his goals this season for man city have been tap ins. Against Man utd, it was a tap in from 2yards off a rebound. Against Bournemouth, it was a tap in after a benevolent team mate teed him up from 5yards 1 Like |
