tbaba1234: Much more pronounced in Summer don't be decieved by the official spill that a player is just training to get fit. There are just too many too mention but the probability exists you might be a gunner. So I will use Sol Campbell, possibly England's best ever defender. Returned to Arsenal after a 4 year absence in late 2009 supposedly to train by the end of the year he was offered a contract. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 2:42am On Nov 29, 2016 |
komekn: Sol Campbell was unattached. He was not a trialist. He was not active. Plus that was an old Sol Campbell. Here we have an active player, top scorer in the recently concluded league going on trial. It simply shows that they have no regard for the league. 3 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Yea he loved Abidal and other black Europeans he has worked and still working with. Pep is my best coach as an ardent Barca fan but it seems he hates African players. He does hate African players and it is more or less as clear as crystal. |

BascoVanVeli: My dear our league is inferior to Brazilian league. Please don't play down the weather effects. African players fled Russia for their lives. the trials he underwent was necessary atleast to check if he can cope with the weather. Besides that, even players from PSL go on trials let alone NPFL. Were Elmohamady and even recently Ramadan signed outrightly from the Egyptian league? 3 Likes |

ChrisKels: I was going with the climate angle but just becos a league is better doesn't make the player inferior. For example Brazil has not put out a player like Etebo in years, the boy was ready for Europe before he left Warri. |

Hello Nerd, you talked about Kessie as a member of the Ivorian U17 team that gave us tough time enroute the UAE in 2013, please do u have any news on that Nigerian boy that was a thorn on our flesh? The tireless jimoh nicknamed the next Yaya toure then. He was a utility player then, operated from the left side of the midfield and some times played as a left full back and defensive midfielder also. Lol I was his fan then, and wished he was on our side to consign Okon to the bench. He was so good |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by ChrisKels: 7:44am On Nov 29, 2016 |
BascoVanVeli: Yea inferior leagues don't really define players but remember ur efficiency gets stern test against quality players in quality leagues hence the need for the trials to ensure ur performance ain't no fluke but a true reflection of ur quality. We should work on improving our league, but until then, ain't no fuse with trail options bro 2 Likes 1 Share |

ChrisKels: To me it is a way of bringing down the player's value. U say we need to improve but when it comes to talent we are not doing so bad. Look at the group of players that just left they are doing well in Europe. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by ChrisKels: 8:14am On Nov 29, 2016 |
joseph1013: Seriously he was a cat(had nine lives +), so strong and tireless. Full of running even when every other person must have ran outta steam. Maybe he is suffering same fate as his Nigerian counterpart Musa M'hmed because I once read he had a precontract with Swiss Giants (FC BASEL). |

BascoVanVeli: Most of those kids never played in this our almost nauseating league. And they never walked into the main team, they start from a scratch(most times, trials) then grow. Our best players get picked from the academies to Europe. Am sorry but it is the-not-so-good ones that ply their trade in our league with the exception of afew such as Nwobodo who are really good. Our talent is never in doubt but our league just doesn't cut it. When was the last time a player left our league to perform wonders in any of the Europe top leagues? John Owoeri, Ujah, Igiebo et al. Before u mention Etebo and Okechukwu, remember I said a selected few... 2 Likes |

ChrisKels: You go from it seems and to he does. So, it is no more blacks but black Africans. Guardiola is not a racist. If he was a racist, he would have sent Eto out along with Ronaldinho. Yaya's agent was clearly off his duty when he blasted Guardiola repeatedly. Yet, he accepted Yaya back after he apologized. Nasri, Joe Hart were dropped from the team. These are white Europeans. If they were Africans, you would have screamed racism. He has worked well with Alaba and Boateng. Improving them along the way. Chill with the racist tag. |

tbaba1234: Last summer 2015, I was at Blackburn only to see Jobi Mcanuff on trial arguably the most skilful winger in the championship. Do you remember Sissiko, he was at Liverpool for about 3 seasons, humble dude. Tenacious hard tackling went on to Juventus, PSG, Levante after a stint in China, increasing his bank balance. Well at the start of this season he was at West Brom on trial.Not sure where he is now though. These are the ones I know about personally, not just on pages of newspapers. There are some I won't talk about because they were never made official, you may think I am not being truthful. 1 Like |

komekn: These players had fitness issue that the clubs were trying to access. There have been plenty instances were a guy is offered trials and another club cuts in and offers a deal. Whenever a player is on trials that means the club is unsure. |

Talent will get you so far, you need more, Discipline, focus, professionalism, understanding, vision and of course opportunity add to that a good agent. Our league is far from the best and it will be extremely difficult for one of our players to jump into the premiership and or any other top European League and start performing. We need to be realistic, objective and not blindly emotionally patriotic in the name of I want to support my country men. |

EAGLES STAR MUSA MOHAMMED LISTED FOR TURKEY CUP TIE Musa Mohammed (right) in action for Istanbul Basaksehir High-flying Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir have listed Nigeria defender Musa Mohammed in today’s cup tie at lower league side Yeni Amasyaspor. “He’s on the match-day squad for the cup game,” disclosed a source close to the player. Action begins today in all eight groups of the Turkish Cup with Musa’s club facing a tricky away game at Yeni Amasyaspor in an early kick-off game. Goztepe and Sivasspor are the other teams in Group F. The top two teams in each group will qualify for the final knockout stage of the cup competition. Musa, 20, has yet to establish himself at IBB, who lead the Turkish top flight with 30 points from 12 matches, two points ahead champions Besiktas. This has cost the right fullback a starting shirt in the Super Eagles. Source: http://africanfootball.com//news/667744/Eagles-star-Musa-Mohammed-listed-for-Turkey-Cup-tie 1 Like |

WATFORD LOANEE UCHE AGBO LAMENTS GRANADA WRETCHED RUN IN LA LIGA Uche Agbo (right) in action for Granada. Uche Agbo has said Granada are hugely disappointed they are yet to win their first match of the La Liga season, but they will keep fighting. Granada are rock bottom of the Spanish top flight with five points after 13 rounds of matches. On Sunday they were dumped 3-1 at Celta Vigo. “We are not happy because the results are not coming our way,” Agbo lamented. “We would have won some of the games we drew before the loss to Celta Vigo. We had opportunities to win some of the last four games we drew especially the match against Villarreal. “But we will keep pushing till we get it right.” Midfielder Agbo is a Watford player on loan to Granada.

REPS DISMISS OSIMHEN SERIOUS INJURY RUMOURS Victor Osimhen Representatives of Nigeria’s most exciting young striker Victor Osimhen have dismissed rumours that the player has suffered a major injury while with German Bundesliga Wolfsburg. Osimhen’s representative Ariyo Igbayilola said the striker is not injured and rather he is being rested after playing a series of friendlies for Wolfsburg who (he) will sign a professional contract with in January 2017. “No, there is nothing wrong with Victor whatsoever. He is fine and ready to go,” Ariyo said. “He has played as many as four friendly matches for Wolfsburg and they in their wisdom have thought it wise to rest the boy. “He will soon be back in Nigeria to work on his papers.” Record top scorer at the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile, Osimhen will clock 18 next month and he is expected to sign a professional contract with Wolfsburg in January 2017. He was courted by several top European clubs including Arsenal and Anderlecht before he chose Wolfsburg.

WHY NIGERIA WANT SENEGAL, COTE D'IVOIRE TESTS - NFF PRESIDENT Max Gradel of Ivory Coast celebrates a goal Nigeria are shopping to play a friendly against Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire next year because their playing style is similar to the Super Eagles rivals Cameroon. In August 2017, Nigeria will first welcome Cameroon before playing a reverse fixture against the Indomitable Lions a few days later in continuation of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. “Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal are teams who play like Cameroon, and we are priming for our next (World Cup) game against Cameroon,” Pinnick disclosed. “These friendlies are not yet confirmed but they are at an advanced stage of being finalised.” It is understood that the matches against West African foes Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire could be played in the FIFA-friendly window in March in London. The other FIFA-friendly window will be in June, officials said. Source: http://africanfootball.com/news/667797/Why-Nigeria-want-Senegal-Cote-d-Ivoire-tests-NFF-president 1 Like |
