Goodjoe's standard answer will be, "Does he know more than the coaches of Man City?" Just wait for it.

Goodjoe's standard answer will be, "Does he know more than the coaches of Man City?" Just wait for it.

Kelechi Iheanacho is competing with Sergio Aguero for the striking role at Manchester
City but he can play elsewhere says his former Nigeria coach.

He claims that Iheanacho is best playing off a number nine, but can also play on the left wing or even as a midfielder.

This is the Victor Moses we had always known.

Mourinho almost killed his career but God pass him.

daveP:
The second Nigerian he ruined his career for.


I'll never like the man till he ends his coaching career.


I'll like Rohr to effectively use Mikel and Moses and Nacho join so he can prove to Mou and Pep that they only have hindsight.

"If you talk about Tammy Abraham, he is like my son, his father and I grew up in the same neighborhood so when they talk about him, I just laugh because I know what to do. As for Ovie Ejaria, I talk with the father often, he just called me recently. These are people we have met and they are all excited about Nigeria," Pinnick quipped.

joseph1013:


You think Pep is ruining Kelechi?

daveP:
playing time angle I'm coming from.


During olympics he didn't allow him to go, neither did he utilize him. all these start from these kinda drops. and for a Fifa youth map for that matter? yes I think

Ex- Liverpool Teen Jordon Ibe Eager To Hear From Nigeria Coach Rohr After Initially Snubbing Overtures From Nigeria

According to reports exclusively gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com former Liverpool teen prospect Jordon Ibe is willing to hear from Nigeria about playing for the Super Eagles.

Ibe asked for more time when he was approached by former coach Sunday Oliseh while at Liverpool, but the 20 year old forward who was robbed at knifepoint yesterday is reportedly willing to make a u-turn.

Now at Premiership side Bournemouth, the discussion about his international future, popped up during discussions with an official of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) about the robbery incident he suffered.

” We thank God he wasn’t hurt in the incident. Coach Gernot Rohr has plans of meeting with him in England when he visits again. As a matter of fact, a family member called us few days ago to know the exact date Rohr wil be in England” He told Owngoalnigeria.com.

” He is willing to listen to what we have to offer. We are hoping he finds the project enticing enough to dump England where he is a youth international and play for Nigeria at senior level”.

Looks like Hybe wants to play for us noe

joseph1013:


I also think Pep is not being fair to Kelechi. It's probably time for him to go on loan.

It dosnt matter cause TheGoodJoe will still argue..

daveP:
Huh? loan? ahhh no o abeg.


That would start some downfall I think. don't wanna go the racial discrim way. His style of play may have not moved Pep enough, but his trust in injured Aguero sef....

And besides, Pep wants to make De Bruyne his Messi. That guy played with injury during UCL instead of playing Nacho imagine. it's obvious, but we have to wait.

joseph1013:


I don't think going on loan automatically means a retrogression. Harry Kane shows that. More recently, Victor Moses proves that. Players need to be trusted.

What if Gabriel Jesus comes and Pep prefers him to our homeboy. It's beginning to dawn on me that sometimes performance is not enough, some coaches just prefer some players. Mourinho exemplifies that succinctly. David Luiz, Lukaku, Bruyne. See how Henrikh Mkhitaryan, a beast, is wasting away under him. Perhaps Pep just doesn't fancy him.

We wait and see...

Sir Joseph... You're beginning to scare me on this Kelechi's matter.

Barcelona Surgeon Stops Success From Resuming Watford Training, Striker Flies To Spain Again




Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that injured Watford striker Isaac Success will fly to
Barcelona, Spain on Tuesday, November 22.


As previously reported, the former Nigeria youth international was supposed to start light
training with the Hornets towards the end of last week, but that decision was later reversed by Dr Ramon Cugat and his medical team.


After tomorrow’s checkup, Cugat will recommend whether or not Success can resume training with Watford.


The Spanish surgeon has treated former and
present Barcelona stars Pep Guardiola, Xavi
Hernandez, Cesc Fabregas, Andres Iniesta and
Carles Puyol in the past, and recently treated Man City pair Kevin de Bruyne and Vincent Kompany after they were sent to his hospital by Guardiola.


Isaac Success, 20, has been out of action since October 16, 2016.

Actually the problem is not the players but our approach, Ibe is good well balanced kid.

Until we have a more strategic, sensitive, professional and sincere approach to player engagement. This problem will continue.

REPORT: English Champion Leicester City In
Talks With Genk Over Super Eagles Star Wilfred Ndidi



According to various news sources in Belgium,
Leicester City has identified Nigerian defender
cum midfielder Wilfred Ndidi as a long term
replacement for N’golo Kante, and have opened
talks with Genk over his transfer.

A bid of around £25m has been lodged and both teams are reportedly locked in talks over the transfer of the 20 year old, whose goal was voted the best in Belgium top flight league last season.


Already a full blown Nigeria international at the
age of 20, he has grown in leaps and bounds
since he was drafted to central midfield by the
coach of Genk last season.


His goal against Atheltico Bilbao in the Europa
League was rated as one of the best of the
rounds, another confirmation of how well he has
developed the last few months.

Heavily linked with a move to Newcastle in the
winter, it appears English champions Leicester
City are now inching closer to signing the coveted Nigerian, who turned down a move to German side Hamburg in the summer.

Man United Legend: Wenger Showed His
Weakness By Dropping Iwobi Against Man United



Former Manchester United defender Phil Neville
has faulted Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger over his decision to leave out 20 year old forward Alex Iwobi in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford.


Arsenal salvaged a point against Manchester
United with a late equaliser from their first shot
on target, but Neville believed they could have
gotten more from the game, if Wenger had stuck with Iwobi in his starting line up.


Wenger sacrificed the Nigerian for Aaron Ramsey and Neville believed it’s a sign of weakness on the part of the manager, which had an overall impact on how Arsenal played in the game.


”I believed Manchester United would have set up their team with Iwobi in mind, Wenger lost a trick by dropping him for Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal
lacked balance due to Ramsey’s position on the
left. Iwobi would have given them balance” He
said.

”The axing of Iwobi for Ramsey showed Wenger’s weakness in big games. He went for experience, no doubt but also wanted to contain Manchester United as Ramsey is more defensive minded than Iwobi. Arsenal should be set up to trouble teams and not contain them”.

I don't know how much stock one can put into these owngoalnigeria.com stories but, if this it true, then it's good news for Nigeria. Wilfred Ndidi is touch notch DM. I was surprise not to see him start ahead of Onazi in the game against Algeria. I think Rohr decided to go with Onazi due to experience but he knows how talented Ndidi is, so don't be surprised if he benches Onazi starting from our next game. Based on what I have seen of him, Ndidi is arguably the best DM we've had in the Super Eagles since the retirement of Sunday Oliseh. Yes, he's that good. Keep an eye on him.

I would like to see him, along with Azubike Okechukwu, eventually anchor the Super Eagles midfield in a big tournament.
