Meanwhile...... As Iheanacho keeps "working hard, and bidding his time under Pep", Okonkwo Orji is making great waves in ITALY... IN THE SERIE A. HE MADE HIS 2ND PRO APPEARANCE AND ALMOST GOT A GOAL YESTERDAY IN BOLOGNA'S 0-2 LOSS TO Franck Kessie's Atalanta. He came on as a sub in the 72nd minute. I mention Franck Kessie because he also belongs to that generation of Ivorien players who gave Iheanacho and co a hell of a time at U-17 and U-20 levels in 2013 and 2015... He's a midfielder and is getting rave reviews himself in Italy. 1 Like |

The Possible Names Of The Three England Youth International Who Have Agreed To Nigeria Switch The senior editor of Owngoalnigeria.com Daniel Martins has compiled a guess list of the three England youth team players who are rumoured to have agreed to a switch to play for Nigeria. Inspired by words from the vice president of the Nigeria Football Federation Seyi Akinwunmi that three England Youth international have agreed to play for Nigeria at senior lever, Martins drops his expert opinion on the possible players. Moses Odubajo (Hull-City) A no brainer. He ticks the right boxes, simply put the right/left full back Gernot Rohr is crying for. The England youth international although out injured is one of the players who has privately accepted to play for Nigeria at senior level. Ovie Ejaria (Liverpool) His case is very straight forward according to various reports, he wants to play for Nigeria and Nigeria also wants him. He trained with the U-17 in the past alongside the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho and co, who are now the back bone of the team. Representing England is a stop gap option for the talented 18 year old, who will most definitely represent Nigeria at senior level. Chuba Akpom (Arsenal) Akpom’s romance with Nigeria is clear for all to see, especially seeing his childhood friend Alex Iwobi doing very well for the country he visited during his holidays. Injuries have slowed him down at Arsenal but there are indications that as soon as he sorts out his club form, he is dead on cert to play for Nigeria at senior level.

Kog45: Read Mikel's Interviews, mostly the recent ones and you see him talk about working very hard in training. If Mikel does not work that hard in training, his experience will not do him much. People play down the training side of the game, forgetting that players train more than they play games. As for Nacho, Guardiola said he will get his minutes. What matters is, when his minutes comes, he shows Top quality form. His speed has improved. His work rate is sky high but the young man can do more. Nacho leaped off the bench excited when the whistle ended the Burnley game. He did not look demoralized. That shows he believes in the process of the coach. Iheanacho might be a rock for us but there is still a lot of work for him to become one of the best in the World. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: Nacho is an Amazing player, but we should not play down the brilliance of Sane. There are things Nacho does better than Sane but Nacho can not skip past players than Sane. I have repeatedly stated that Iheanacho should study and learn from Sane. In the EFL Cup against Manchester United, there was a move Sane pulled off that got my hands raised above my head. Such brilliance, Nacho needs to bring it back to his game. I think he pulled a brilliant skill in that game. Guardiola understands the science of improving players. He did it with a lot of players. What Nacho needs is to improve ad get better. If he continues in that trajectory, he will become unbenchable. 1 Like |

I love Sane... I even prefer him to Nolito and Navas. He's that good. But when it comes to stating points about Nacho and Sane being in the same kinda boat... I had to be truthful. Nacho is ahead of Sane... So we cannot say since Sane isnt playing then Nacho shouldnt either. Nope... It's not so. So Sane remains a brilliant player but abeg... Nacho is ahead. @bolded.... Yes I know that. I remember saying I trust what pep can do with Nacho on the training ground but not too trusty of pep in terms of playing time. Time will tell.... TheGoodJoe: |

TheSuperNerd: It seems because of my trust in form coming from the training pitch than game time, I am not as worried as others. As long as he keeps working hard, he will discover the Alien mode in him. As soon as he activates it, I pity any player ahead of him. Remember, City watched Nacho from when he was 13 years. He is a big long term project for the club. Forget him not playing now. Guardiola said he will get his minutes. So, let the young Super Star prepare for his minutes. I need Nacho tearing defenders apart. 1 Like |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 7:15pm On Nov 28, 2016 |
TheSuperNerd: You are close to my point. I prefer Sane to Nolito, Sterling and Navas. However, like Nacho, he is not playing. I prefer Maffeo to Sagna. Yet, he is not playing. I am not putting them in the same bracket with Nacho but I am pointing out that these are good young players not getting playing time. Against Manchester United in the EFL Cup, people asked me who was that boy in midfield. I said, Aleix Garcia. They said when did City buy him, I replied he is from our Academy and he is nineteen. These guys are brilliant. Even though they are not playing, their will come. Talent does not rot. Ask Mikel and Moses. |

We share the same dream for Nacho.... But our patience levels differ a bit... It's okay. Let's wait... Just that in Nacho I see so much. So much mehn... **sounding emotional** Honestly... Even from my labs, I have made prognosis upon prognosis and everything about Nacho seems great. Lemme hold on to the bolded like Abrahm Lincoln once said, "I'll rather be prepared and some day, my chance will come" AND ALSO SAID, " give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening my axe (preparation)". If the end-result of all these "waiting, training and benching" is seeing Nacho finally get his miuntes and deliver "Wooooowww!!!! "Yeeeeeeeee!!!!!" And Ouuuuccchhhh!!!" Moments with devastating effects and mouth-dropping aplomb.... Then fine! I'll wait..... I still believe. But Yara Yara... keep that monitor focused on Pep...

Personally, I like the guy because I am a Barca fan and also he's a great coach without a doubt. But one thing I can tell you is,where there's smoke there's fire.

Chrismario: Well, let's hope that he's ambitious enough to demand playing or else a transfer. We don't wanna have another Mikel in our hands. That's one thing that disgusted me about Mikel. The dude was so timid that he felt totally fine sitting on the bench, while lesser talented players were demanding playing or transfer. |

tbaba1234: Even in England seasoned professionals can find themselves on trials not just youngsters. The Russian league is very different from the Nigerian league it is necessary to establish if he can transfer that ability to the Russian league see what his attitude is like, will he cope in the cold inhospitable weather. Many reasons why a trial is not just necessary but essential. |

RESEARCH: Iwobi’s Rise With Nigeria Inspiring Other African Players To Dump England At Senior Level According to a work put together by a leading African journalist based in the United Kingdom, the rise of Alex Iwobi with Nigeria has lead to so many stars born in England to switch allegiance to the country of their parents. Bournemouth star Benik Afobe recently swapped any chance of representing England at senior level by opting for the Democratic of Congo, where his father hails from despite representing England at youth level. Hot on the heels of his switch, Crystal Palace forward Wilfred Zaha who has represented England at senior level completed his switch to the Ivory Coast, while little known Arsenal forward Yasser Bennacer also did same by opting for Algeria ahead of England. Robert Frank believes Iwobi’s career rise has rubbed off on other players of African heritage,as the 20 year old is fully established as an international despite representing England at a very young age. ”It’s the Iwobi’s effect, in the past players of African heritage rather play odd games for England than full time international career with an African country” Frank told Owngoalnigeria,com ”Ugo Ehiogu, Carlton Cole & Gabriel Agbonlahor all played odd games for England at the expense of a full time international career with Nigeria, but Iwobi has broken the trend. ”Very clear to see that these players now know that their international career can be massive with the land of their origin than the land of birth. Thanks to Iwobi”. Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/11/28/research-iwobis-rise-with-nigeria-inspiring-other-african-players-to-dump-england-at-senior-level/ 1 Like |

I WANT TO REPAY $2 MILLION AL AHLY PAID FOR ME - JUNIOR AJAYI Junior Ajayi Nigeria striker Junior Ajayi has said he hopes to justify the $2 million Egyptian giants Al Ahly paid for him. On Sunday, Junior Ajayi netted his fourth goal for Al Ahly in the league. “I need to justify the huge amount of money spent on me by the Egyptian club,” he said “So, I thank God I am doing well by scoring goals, that is the main reason why I was bought. “I can still do more by scoring many goals for my club, what I need is just to remain focus.” He added: “I am really enjoying my time in the Egyptian league, which is a good league with very good structure and organisation and above all the fans who troop to the stadium to watch the matches are incredible. “The support and love for the game is something else. “I have played in the Nigeria league, the league in Tunisia and now I am featuring in the Egyptian league. The leagues across Africa have really grown.” Source: http://africanfootball.com//news/667699/I-want-to-repay-2-million-Al-Ahly-paid-for-me-Junior-Ajayi |

VICTOR MOSES’ CHELSEA WINNER SENDS TWITTER INTO MELTDOWN The Nigerian conjured up a sterling performance to silence Spurs at Stamford Bridge, and fans waxed lyrical about him on social media Victor Moses sent Twitter into a frenzy after inspiring Chelsea to victory in Saturday’s English Premier League outing against rivals, Tottenham Hotspurs. His 51st minute strike off Diego Costa’s assist was his fourth goal in the English topflight – to hand Antonio Conte’s men maximum points after Pedro Rodriguez had cancelled Christian Eriksen’s opener. Social media went into meltdown in praise of the Moses who was named man of the match. And again, he has won the hearts of millions across the continent with his latest exploits.

MOSES WAS ALWAYS DESTINED FOR GREATNESS - KALOU Nizaar Kinsella The ex-Blues forward has given his backing to the in-form winger, stating that he always believed the Nigeria international would go on to be a brilliant player Salomon Kalou believes that Victor Moses was always going to make it at Stamford Bridge and sympathised with the in-form wing-back after a difficult first few years under Chelsea's management. Moses was signed as the Blues' replacement for the departing Kalou in 2012, but is only now showing his true talent after a series of good performances in a new role under Antonio Conte. Kalou, 31, now plays at Hertha Berlin, though still counts himself a Chelsea fan, and believes that Moses is showing his best due to greater backing than he has had before. "I’m not surprised by Moses’s form," Kalou told Goal . "He never had a big chance like this before. He never really had this chance to show off. A big player has to have the chance to play. "It is difficult to show your skills when you don’t play, and this season he has shown the quality that you need at this level; I am not surprised. He is a fast and technical player with great stamina to go forward and then to come back.
