Concerning invitation to the Super Eagles.... Well, bringing him in for one of the friendlies before the cameroun double-header will be a good idea.

A lotta competition is truly hotting up for the longest of runs in the Super Eagles.

Henry "fast, sleeky and furious" Onyekuru is another real deal. smiley

He deserves a call definitely. This one will give Musa and Simon problems. This highlights show he's a really good player. And he's just 19. He's very confident too. With this confidence, he should wait till the end of the season. The coach at Leipig might not want to change a winning team.

I will not like playing with him if i was his teammate. He is very talented but sometimes, he can be selfish. Tries to shoot when he can pass. Reminds me of Victor Moses in the past.

Did you guys watch the last match? The Referees in the last two games are allowing players foul City without blowing. This is more of a physical set up. It has nothing to do with Kelechi's confidence.

Nolito can also play attack. In the last match, he played as a striker. Nolito who was a key player for Spain at the Euros, one of the best La Liga players last season sat on the bench in the last game.

Na wa. Any small thing, you talk out of context.

Kelechi is the only out and out striker in the team and he is being benched when Aguero is out.. When a coach lacks confidence in a player, it affects the player's confidence.

It is quite clear to me that Pep has no confidence in Kelechi and it is affecting his displays. He looks bereft of self confidence.

I Like Henry Onyekuru A lot – Rohr Confesses Love For Red Hot Belgium Based Nigerian Forward



The fine form of Eupen Nigerian forward Henry
Onyekuru has caught the attention of the coach
of the Nigeria national team Gernot Rohr,
Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Last night Onyekuru took his season goal tally to 10 for the season in Eupen’s 4-0 win over Kortrijk in the Belgian Cup, his second goal in consecutive game after netting against Charleroi over the weekend.


19 year old Onyekuru is in his first season in the
Belgian top flight league after winning promotion with Eupen to the top division, where his six goals played a big role in their eventual promotion.


”We aware of his exploits in Belgium, am very
happy and have seen his games. I love him a lot. He has something I fancy and love in a forward, he is doing well in a league that is well
respected”, Rohr told Owngoalnigeria.com in
London.


”Too early to say if we are going to call him up
but we are watching him at close quarters and
monitoring his progress, hopefully, if he keeps
performing well for his team, then we have no
choice than to call him up”.

Kelechi being the only out and out striker does not stop the coach's flexibility in options. Nolito can play the attack. Yet, Guardiola chose Nacho to play upfront in two games. If that is not confidence in Nacho, what is?

Fred Friday Ends Four Months Goal Drought
For AZ Alkmaar





21 year old Nigerian forward Fred Friday ended a run of 18 games without a goal for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, netting with less than three minutes left to play in their 2-0 Cup win over ASWH.


Signed in the summer from Lillestrom of Norway he has struggled in front of goal since scoring his first goal for the team in their 3-0 win over Serbian side Vojvodina in the Europa League on the 18th of August.


He will be hoping that the goal bring about a
change of fortune for him with the first team,
where he has struggled in front of goal particulary in the league.


After 11 games in the league he is still searching for his first league goal, which is a surprise to many due to how his goal scoring abilities in Norway prior to his transfer to the Dutch side.


His poor form in front of goal made the club to
play him in games for the B team,where he
showed his prowess with four goals in three
games including a brace in their 5-1 thrashing of TEC.

Super Eagles Ace Kingsley Madu Open Goal
Account In Spectacular Fashion For Zulte
Waregem





Kingsley Madu rounded up scoring for Belgian
side Zulte Waregem to help them beat St.
Truiden 2-0 in the Beker Van Belgie populary
called the Belgian Cup.

Madu killed off any hope of a late comeback from the visitors when he scored on the dot of full time, leaving St. Truiden with no chance of a
comeback.


The former AS Trencin man who celebrated his
birthday at the start of the week dribbled his way past three defenders before slipping the ball under the goalkepper.


He has found games hard to come by in the
league even though coach Francky Drury publicly confessed his likeness for the 21 year old during a TV show, while discussing his team shock rise to the top of the league in Belgium.


So far he has played just one league game, where he lasted just four minutes but he has played in their two games in the Cup.

If he moves to a bigger league and is coached by some top coaches, he won't have any business scoring this goal. He'd be taught to pass the ball. As they say "Na small thing de make person lose shirt". I have watched him a couple of times and he's a very very good player along with another player called Sylla, they are the shining lights of Eupen. But as both of them are really good, they are very selfish with the ball. A little more "passings" to his game and he'd almost be the finished product.

For the other players' mind, him go give assist... For where?? My guy acted like his teammates didn't even exist.....

You just said it all, very very good and skillful player, but he hugs the ball a lot. Well to his credit, he 80 percent makes positive moves from the ball hugging. If this guy decides to start passing more to his teammates, he could be mentioned in the same statement as an Alexis Sanchez in terms of ball playing abilities (not trophies). He needs to be focused and stay dedicated to improving his game. This guy could easily push Iwobi out of the left wing for SE and make Iwobi focus more on playing CM for Naija. Well, only time would tell.

Nawa o. So let me ask, when was the last time Guardiola used a winger in place of Aguero? The only time he tried something similar to that was against Barca and he subbed in Aguero almost immediately after half time.

Nolito is extremely poor as a CF, he has never played as a CF for Spain, that's why Spain used to invite a lot of average strikers, if Nolito could play there then they wouldn't be wasting their time with players like Vitolo up top. In his last season at Celta, Nolito did not play as a CF, not even once, he played as a CF during his Barca days almost 6 years ago but yesterday he was favoured just because the coach does not like Iheanacho simple. You were saying after the last match that Nacho impressed you, well I guess he didn't impress the coach did he? And what does Nolito have that Iheanacho cannot better? The two CBs for Watford were not fast neither were they that strong, so why was Nacho sitting on the bench? Is Nolito more physical than Nacho? Does he 'press' more than Nacho(according to you)? Don't tell me that the coach was trying to check a new formation or something more ridiculous than that because this was a must win game for him and he used the strongest squad he had available to him.

not to mention that he is showing off his selfishness against Belgian defenders so he gets away with most of them. I just watched an extended highlight of his games, he could have easily had 6 assists more than he has now, against better defenders he might not be that lucky. Let him move first

The reason coaches play gifted players wide is to give the team ease to break in defence from the wings. Nolito can play nine but he contributes more to the team from the left side. If they were better players who could play with speed and skills at Celta, Nolito would have played up front.

Sterling has played upfront. Sane this season played there. In the game against Leicester City, Nolito played upfront when he came on.

As for Pressing, remember Nolito played under Guardiola and Enrique in the Barca B team. He grew up under the Barcelona system. Unlike other players, he spent very long time learning the system.

That is why Enrique And Guardiola battled for him. He does not need adaptation to the system.

I dey tellsssss yoooouuuu... Dude is a bad-ass.

He can play as a CF but that's not his strong position shaa. He's more of Wing Forward. Basically a LWF and can play RWF too.

Nigeria have always been blessed with quality wingers and wing forwards but for a while now, our left wing/left forward position have lacked quality.

With the rise of Onyekuru, Simon moses, Alex Iwobi (who can play centrally also) and more, Nigeria is on the rise again.

Back then in the first golden era it was Amuneke... Right now, my mouth is watering again.... Our second golden era offers so much potentials... Just pray Sir Icon4s' heart will grow fonder again. wink


We have quality in Iwobi and Moses in LWF and RWF positions. Where we lack quality is the CF position. And I think we can try him there.
At bolded, u think that guy is better than Iwobi and Moses? .

So because of a 2min clips of Onyekuru you don run down grade Iwobi to "lack of quality".U guys can easily believe any thing sha. Let him come to camp first then we size him up.

As for my heart growing fonder, I can only hope this crop don't disappoint. This is not the first time we will be seeing an emergence of so many quality Nigerian players. The system is just sickening. Just take a look at the Super Falcons case.

REVEALED – Man United Matched Leicester City £15 Million for Ndidi But Lost Out As Mourinho Wanted Him To….

Owngoalnigeria.com understands that Manchester United were willing to pay Belgian side Genk same amount of money Leicester City offered for the Nigerian, who had his medicals with the English Champions yesterday.


Although Leicester City have been favourite to sign him for some time now, Manchester United came into the picture last month, when one of their scout Roland Janssen proposed him to manager Jose Mourinho.


Janssen is same scout who brought the Nigerian to Belgium after watching him play in a tournament in Lagos during the 2014-2015 season, and still has close ties with the 19 year old.


The scout who now works for Manchester United pushed the club to equal what Leicester City agreed to pay for him but Mourinho wanted the defender cum midfielder to spend the rest of the season on loan in Belgium.


Mourinho plan was to watch him at close quarters during next pre season as he can’t guarantee him a spot in the midfield or defence of Manchester United this season, The suggestion made Ndidi turned down their approach and opt for Leicester City instead.


Ndidi will now join Leicester City on the 1st of January, when the transfer window reopens for registration of new players in Europe, to bring to three the number of Nigerian players to three at the club.


Super Eagles vice captain Ahmed Musa and upcoming forward Layton Ndukwu are the other Nigerians at the club.

owngoalnigeria.com/2016/12/13/revealed-man-united-matched-leicester-city-15-million-for-ndidi-but-lost-out-as-mourinho-wanted-him-to/


I don't know... but I would have preferred Ndidi moved to Manchester United.


Besides, Leicester are a struggling side right now. They may even battle relegation if care is not taken.
