safarigirl:The psl is a well organised league. Lots of internationals from African countries ply their trade in South Africa. The Zambian team we played had a lot players from the Psl. Isreali league is growing in leap an bound, since admitted to UEFA. There 2 clubs in the Europa league are doing well. There are lots of South American, African and players from that Mediterranean region who play in the Isreali league. I don't really get your point about different rules for goalkeepers. |

goldfish80: What are you talking? Please, before Pellegrini released his list for the preseason games, he was in camp with a lot of players. He made his final list. One player that was dropped was Devante Cole, Andy Cole's son. Stop twisting your point. You clearly talked of Bellerin playing in Emirates Cup. I pointed to you that Wenger knew he was quality before you saw Bellerin in those games. Do not jump around the point to slow the thread's momentum. |

TheGoodJoe:You're the one slowing the threads momentum with this constant talk about playing a rookie in goal for our biggest game in 2016. My point is that managers use pre season to gauge the level all players available to him are. Even the training you mentioned before camping is pre season !!! |

Nigeria's Next Super Duper Striker...... ![]() Can't wait for his combo with Africa's and The World's next authentic all-round attacking player machine, Kelechi Iheanacho ![]() ![]() ....................................................................... Wonderboy Victor Osimhen Gets Date For Bundesliga Debut With Wolfsburg ![]() A tentative date when highly rated Nigerian teen striker Victor Osimhen who is on the books of German side Wolfsburg will make his debut has been known according to reports gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com. Osimhen is yet to make his professional bow for the Bundesliga side, but he gave the fans a taste of what to expect from him with a goal in a friendly game against Lupo Martin. The 17 year old will be eligible to play for the team in competitive games when he clocks 18, and already the club has made it known that he will move straight into the first team. Although Wolfsburg are yet to appoint a permanent manager to replace Dieter Hecking who was sacked last month, caretaker coach Valerin Ismael who is the coach of the reserve team knows about the abilities of the Nigerian, after handling him in some sessions. Based on that, he will most likely make his debut for the team against Hamburg on the 21st of January, in a Bundesliga game which will take place at the Volkswagen Arena. The home ground of Wolfsburg. Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/11/05/wonderboy-victor-osimhen-gets-date-for-bundesliga-debut-with-wolfsburg/ 1 Like |

High Flying Turkish Side Declares Super Eagles Defender Musa Muhammed Surplus To Requirement ![]() Super Eagles right full back Musa Muhammed has been told to search for a new club in January by high flying Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir. Since joining the team last summer, the 20 year old Nigerian is yet to make a single appearance for the Turkish side, and he is presently viewed as the fourth choice right fullback of the team. So far he has just five professional appearances to his name in over one year at the Turkish side, and the table toppers in Turkey have made it clear that his services are no longer required. ”Yesterday when they played Galatasary, I spoke with a member of the team shortly after the game which they won 2-1 away from home to maintain their fine start to the season. I asked about Muhammed’s situation and I was told he has been told to leave” Turkish journalist Adnan Adem told Owngoalnigeria.com. ”As a matter of fact, he is aware he is not needed even before the start of the season, one wonder why he stayed behind. It’s a pity but he hasn’t really grown”. Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/11/05/high-flying-turkish-side-declares-super-eagles-defender-musa-muhammed-surplus-to-requirement/ |

Iwobi inspiring other Arsenal starlets to play for Nigeria [img]http://4.bp..com/-byCnmJAocPE/WB2VBlvsmwI/AAAAAAAAB6I/axBOnHvfAC86rsjYEZFgEPsSM7Ent4gbACLcB/s400/alex-iwobi-training.jpg[/img] The decision of Alex Iwobi to play for Nigeria and the instant success he has made off that move could see more Arsenal youngsters toe this path. One of such budding talents with the London club is Joseph Olowu who stars in the defence for the Young Gunners. Olowu in a chat with Arsenal’s official website confirmed his eligibility to play for Nigeria and how Iwobi’s success could help him in making a decision as it concerns his international future. “My parents are from Nigeria and I am eligible to play for either Nigeria or England,” Olowu told arsenal.com. He continued: “I have not featured internationally yet but that may come. Alex Iwobi has really been an inspiration to me and to my team mate Tobi Omole who I also live with in digs in Cockfosters. “He came through the Arsenal Youth system and is doing so well. He scored against Zambia in the World Cup qualifiers the other week and his name is growing and growing in African football. “My dad has also noticed that there is a lot of attention being given to Toby and I in the African football forums which must in part also be due to how well Alex has been doing,” Olowu said. Indeed, Nigeria has a long list of youngsters in the Diaspora whose addition to the teams (national teams) back home will be a worthwhile move.

TheGoodJoe: My point is that the next goal keeper in line to take over from Carl is Akpeyi. His experience and club form qualifies him for the role. Aloy Agu and the other assistants should concentrate more on him durring training. I expect him to be in goal in training games with the more probable match day line up (team A) while Ezenwa mans the post for the second string (team B). Akpeyi should get a head start ahead of the other goalies. If it's squarely up to training form, then the gates should be thrown open for everyone with a Nigerian passport to come and try out. The most in form out of the lot should man the post in Uyo. |

TheSuperNerd:This is good news. Great news! If his minders cannot find a decent club for him in a decent country, he should come back home and sign for Enugu Rangers. Playing in the Npfl and Caf champions league could prove vital in his development. The structure in Rangers will be most suitable for him. Imama being with the national team will take care of him properly. I hope Imama speaks to him in camp. |

TheGoodJoe:Am not saying training is not important. For a new keeper as Alampasu the probability of him being a bit nervous or shaky is higher than that of Akpeyi. Majority of people will go with Akpeyi, due to the factors on ground as a new keeper and a tested keeper. Let me make this clear, the keepers position is the most sensitive of all the position in a football team, and that is why they don't change keepers as they do to other players. Take for example, you can play with a player down or more, you can even play without a manager, but you dare not play without a keeper. You want make i tell you wetin go happen? Na basketball score you go get. Please am not talking about players making a debut but keepers. |

Jefersoun: Due to the sensitivity of the goalkeeper position, we need the best after thorough screening in camp. What I am saying is that, if thorough screening shows a youngster is better than an experienced hand, then it is best to go with the youngster. We need the best. Not what people think or expect. Just as you tried to play the nerves card, there is also a big case for ability. We need the best in goal. |

I don't understand all this back amd forth argument, akpeyi should be chosen if amd only if: 1) he performs better than alampasu in training 2) they both perform well in training and you choose experience as criteria 3) they both bad in training and you choose based on experience But if alampasu performs more in training there is no reason he shouldn't start ahead of him... There's no point calling him when you know he won't play no matter how better he is to other goalie in training.. 3 Likes 1 Share |

You people need to break down this your experience talk, are you telling me a person who has been on the bench for a team in 13 games is more experienced than one who has played for same team in 5 games? Is the bench the latest point of experiejce? Cuz I was led to think actual playing time is what gives a person experience 1 Like |

lakesidepapa: Mickael2 is from the attacking possession philosophy school of thought and believes a defensive midfielder must contribute to the build-up play of the team. Onazi lacks behind Ndidi in that aspect and so I feel that is why Mickael2 rates Ndidi higher. |
