BascoVanVeli: Some would dispute that, but it has always been Celtic and Rangers. However, it's not important the team Onyekuru is being courted by is a top team. And a very good launch pad for greater and bigger things. Furthermore he will not be a bench warmer playing most likely on the wing. He also has a quality manager in Brendan. 1 Like |

When I look at the selection of players by Rohr, which I don't completely blame him for. It seems we have regressed by twenty years. Consider, the teams in the past we had a forward line that was playing in the top teams in Europe. Now it's like we are picking up players in predominantly in third rate teams some even playing literally youth football. What's happened. |

TheGoodJoe: Your proposition is open to debate. From the perspective of top clubs in the world with regard to Brazil nothing has changed. Romario was playing for Barcelona so also is Neymar. So also is the entirety of the Brazilian team playing for top club sides more so than ever before. Compare Nigeria Ikpeba -Monaco, JJay -PSG, Taribo-intermilan, Kanu - Arsenal, Oruma-marseille, Obagoal-Inter Milan, Yekini -V.Setubal (top goal scorer Portuguese league) Yobo -Marseile & Everton, Amokachi Everton, Oliseh, Finidi, Babangida, AJAX and Amunike - Barcelona , etc, etc, take note none of them were fringe players but main established players. Compare that to the present crop of players WE HAVE GONE BACKWARDS we have fringe and youth players in the Green Eagles. Some from third rate league and Obscure unknown clubs. I CRY |

Mickael2:You're talking like someone who doesn't know Wilfred Ndidi's position. Do you really have to see the formation to know which position Ndidi plays for Genk? Just admit it, you've not watched Ndidi that much. Because if you have, you will not doubt his short comings which is maintaining position and concentration levels. Nobody has it all. Your tirade everytime on Onazi is totally unfair. Your point of view that he's always out of position is an over stretch and sometimes bordering on a myth. 1 Like |

Victor Moses Signs New Deal At Chelsea, Becomes Highest Earning Nigerian Player In Europe  Victor Moses has today signed a new contract with the Blues reportedly worth over 100, 000 pounds a week. A figure which makes him the highest paid Nigerian player in Europe. The 26-year-old has established himself as a regular in the side this season, playing an integral role in our pursuit of silverware under Antonio Conte. Upon signing the two-year extension to his deal, which will now run until 2021, Moses said: ‘I feel very excited. I’m delighted to be here for another few years now and to sign a new deal. Now it’s time to concentrate on the team and keep working hard to make sure we win games and try to win the Premier League this season. ‘We’re having a great season, I’m enjoying my football and we have a good manager here that has given every single one of us confidence. I just want to keep on enjoying it and working hard for the team.’ Technical director Michael Emenalo added: ‘We are extremely pleased Victor has chosen to extend his contract with us. He is enjoying an excellent season and, under Antonio’s leadership, has proved to be an important member of the squad. ‘This new contract is testament to Victor’s hard work and dedication to succeed at Chelsea and we believe he will be a big part of our future success.’ http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/11/25/barcelona-linked-victor-moses-im-enjoying-my-game-and-i-just-want-to-keep-on-improving/ |

ChrisKels:Young players tend to be over zealous sometimes. I remember Mikel used to commit lots of fouls and accumulated a lot of yellow and red cards earlier in his Chelsea career. Kolo Toure was a bit of nut case too when he first arrived at Arsenal. In a trial game session he tackled Dennis Bergkamp so hard that Denis was injured for awhile. In the same training session, he took Arsene Wenger out with a tackle that he needed an ice pack. He was still signed up by Arsenal and the rest was history. What am saying is that players like this can be managed properly and their aggression controlled,with the right manager though. Cc Tbaba1234 2 Likes |

Barcelona Linked Victor Moses – I’m Enjoying My Game And I Just Want To Keep On Improving  Chelsea wingback wizard Victor Moses who has been heavily linked with a move to Catalan giants Barcelona has spoken out about what he needs to do, to keep his spot in the good books of coach Antonio Conte. ‘It was a big boost for me but the most important thing is the team,’ he tells the official Chelsea website. ‘We all worked very hard and enjoyed the game against Middlesbrough. It was a match in which we had to graft in order to get the three points because we knew we would go top of the league if we won. ‘We just have to keep believing in ourselves. I’m enjoying my game at the moment and I just want to keep on improving.’ In recent weeks the understanding between Moses, operating in the right wing-back role, and Pedro, who has been playing further forward on the same flank, has really begun to blossom. The pair linked up well once more at Middlesbrough, as they had done in the preceding fixtures, and Moses is enjoying playing with the Spaniard. ‘We’ve been working hard on it in training,’ he says. ‘Pedro has been playing really well, he’s getting used to the Premier League and he understands the game very well. He’s enjoying his football, scoring a few goals and helping out defensively as well. I like playing with Pedro, we have a great understanding between us and it’s working well for the team. ‘He’s a great player and he’s won everything so you have to respect his achievements. When you come to a new country it can be difficult but he’s got to grips with it now and he’s doing well. The fans are enjoying what he brings to the team and we’re all pleased for him.’ http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/11/25/barcelona-linked-victor-moses-im-enjoying-my-game-and-i-just-want-to-keep-on-improving/ 1 Like |

As reported by Owngoalnigeria.com , Mikel the captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria have been granted permission by Rohr to miss the upcoming friendly ties, to allow him settle down at his new club Tianjin Teda of China. To that effect Ndidi who has in the past replaced Mikel in the Super Eagles midfield during competative games will be handed a start against Senegal and Burkina Faso. Ndidi’s form for Leicester City has been one of the bright side of a dour 2017 for the Foxes, and he could line up in the midfield alongside Ogenyi Onazi and Oghenekaro Etebo who will play just behind the main striker. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/01/rohr-replaces-mikel-with-ndidi-in-eagles-midfield-for-senegal-burkina-faso-friendly/ 1 Like |

Leaked- Rohr Reopens Talks With Enyeama Over Eagles Return  The search for two good goalkeppers for the Super Eagles of Nigeria has forced coach of the team Gernot Rohr to reopen talks with former captain Vincent Enyeama over a possible return to the team. Ade Ojeikere revealed in his report for The NationSport that Rohr has been very impressed with Enyeama’s recent form for Lille which has seen him nominated into the team of the week in France severally this season. Rohr on his part is also not comfortable with the options he has as back up to current first choice Carl Ikeme, and unconfirmed reports has it that he has tactfully reopened talks with the 33 year old. Few months ago, Rohr ruled out trying to persuade Enyeama to return to the Eagles citing the refusal of the goalkepper to take or return his calls, a claim Enyeama termed as false in a response to Owngoalnigeria.com story on Rohr’s claim. However it appears Rohr has patched up his differences with Enyeama and talks are currently progressing nicely on his possible return from a self impose exile from the Nigeria national team, after a disagreement with former coach Sunday Oliseh. Some members of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) who are aware of his contact with Enyeama over a return to the team are not opposed to the idea, since selection of players rest squarely on the coach. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/01/leaked-rohr-reopens-talks-with-enyeama-over-eagles-return/ 1 Like |

I believe Rohr should extend an invitation to Adebayo Akinfenwa for our crucial match against Cameroun  Strongest Nigerian Player Ever Hits Purple Patch In Front Of Goal For English League Two Side  Wycombe Wanderers 34 year old Nigerian forward Adebayo Akinfenwa scored twice to help them draw 2-2 against Accrington Stanley in a League Two game. The goal continued his newly found vein of form in front of goal as it was his 6th goal from his last seven league games, his best run of form for a while. Akinfenwa now has 10 goals this season from 30 games in League one, proving how lethal he is even at the twilight of a career that has seen him play for Northampton Town, Gillingham, AFC Wimbledon and Wycombe Wanderers. Despite having never played in a division higher than League One in England, the striker is widely known all over the world thanks to his beast-like physique and enormous power. The 33-year-old can reportedly bench press 180kg – that’s nearly twice his own bodyweight. Such strength is virtually impossible to match in professional football, which is perhaps why he has previously been mistaken for an NFL star. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/01/strongest-nigerian-player-ever-hits-purple-patch-in-front-of-goal-for-english-league-two-side/ 1 Like |

Guardiola List Areas Iheanacho Must Improve On To Have A Future At Man City  Kelechi Iheanacho could spend more time on the bench of Manchester City unless he improves on certain areas according to manager Pep Guardiola. Manchester City FA replay tie against Huddersfield on Wednesday evening, was largely believed to be the game where Iheanacho will finally be handed a chance to force himself back into the plans of the coach but that appears not to be the case. Speaking ahead of the match, Guardiola said: “Kelechi now isn’t playing for the last games. It’s a pity for him. “But I like normally one striker, not two. Of course, when Sergio was injured, players play the game. But then Gabriel came and Sergio didn’t play, so the space is what it is. “But it is going to happen this situation with Gabriel so Sergio can’t play all the games and, of course, he [Iheanacho] is going to help us.” Guardiola also said Iheanacho didn’t need to impress him to get back into the team: “I know his quality,” the manager added. “I know, of course, he’s young and has a lot of things to improve – especially in winning duels and be strong in some positions. “But he’s a guy who, in the boxes, is really good. He likes to come a little bit out of the box to play, but arriving at the right tempo and attacking the first post is amazing. “So, as a guy, he doesn’t need many, many chances to score a goal.” http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/01/guardiola-list-areas-iheanacho-must-improve-on-to-have-a-future-at-man-city/ |

Ex Celtic Manager – People Have Forgotten What Efe Ambrose Did For Celtic, He Has Quality  HIBERNIAN head coach Neil Lennon has accused Efe Ambrose’s critics of “deleting four years of history” as he launched a passionate defence of the much-maligned stopper. The 28-year-old, who not played a competitive match since Celtic were beaten 1-0 by Lincoln Red Imps last July, has joined Hibs on an ‘emergency loan’ deal and could make a quick-fire debut against St Mirren this evening. While his progress stalled in recent campaigns under Ronny Deila and Brendan Rodgers, Ambrose was a regular under Lennon, starring in a run to the Champions League last-16 in 2012/13 and impressing in wins over the likes of Barcelona, Ajax and Spartak Moscow. Regardless of his high-profile errors in recent campaigns, Lenny reckons believes many snipers have short memories. He said: “He has quality. He has been at Celtic for four or five seasons now and, while it maybe hasn’t gone as well as he would have liked in the last couple of seasons, under me he was fantastic. “I think the first four years of his time at Celtic have been deleted from history, with the way people talk about him now. This is a guy who played in all my Champions League games and made the last 16. “People always talk about the mistakes he has made of late, the high profile mistakes, but we have all made them. I have made plenty! I played with Bobo [Balde] who had a few in his time – but I don’t think he gets derided as much as people tend to mock Efe. “What I want to do is get him back playing and being successful for us and then go back to Celtic full of confidence. “Efe was a guy who was at the heart of a lot of unbelievable results at Celtic. He has won the African Nations Cup with his country so he has great pedigree. He is only 28, he is at his peak and he will be fresh because he has not played much football recently. “We are very lucky to get him. I also think it is a coup for us that he wanted to come.” Culled from Deadline News. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/01/ex-celtic-manager-people-have-forgotten-what-efe-ambrose-did-for-celtic-he-has-quality/ 1 Like |

Possible Reasons Why Gent Anderson Esiti Lost His National Team Spot After Zambia Clash  The none inclusion of Gent of Belgium powerhouse Anderson Esiti in the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming friendly games has generated lot of talks among soccer loving Nigerians. Owngoalnigeria.com editor takes a look at the possible reasons why Esiti was once again snubbed by Gernot Rohr despite his fine form for Gent both in domestic and European games since the start of 2017. Although the defensive midfield role of the Super Eagles appears to be the sole preserve of Eddy Onazi, other players who are playing at a much higher level with years in the team are partly the reason why Esiti is not in the team. Key to his exclusion is the variety of options available to the coach, especially players who can play in more than one role like Shehu Abdullahi and Wilfred Ndidi unlike Esiti who is only best as a defensive midfielder. Furthermore Granada of Spain midfielder Uche Agbo who although is listed as a central defender can also play as a defensive midfielder and all of this players are ahead of Esiti in the pecking order of Rohr. Esiti’s poor turn of pace is also another factor which could be the reason why he is no longer in the team despite playing a part in Rohr’s first competitive game against Zambia, the 2-1 win in Ndola in their first World Cup 2018 qualifiers. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/02/possible-reasons-why-gent-anderson-esiti-lost-his-national-team-spot-after-zambia-clash/ |
