Enyeama In Ligue 1 Top 5 African Players Of The Week



By James Agberebi:

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has been listed in Africa's top five players in the French Ligue 1 on matchday 31 by the authoritative France Football.


Enyeama's inclusion among the top five African players may not be unconnected with his outstanding performance in Lille's 1-0 away win against SC Bastia on Saturday.


The four other players who made the list are Burkina Faso's Prejuce Nakoulma of Nantes, Cote d'Ivoires Jean-Michael Seri who plays for Nice, Mozambique and Rennes' Mexer and Cameroon's Benjamin Moukandjo who plays for Lorient.


Enyeama has played 30 of Lille's 31 Ligue 1 games this season.
Ligue 1 Top Five African Players of the Weekend:

Vincent Enyeama (Lille/Nigeria)
Prejuce Nakoulma (Nantes/Burkina Faso)
Jean-Michael Seri (Nice/Mozambique)
Benjamin Moukandjo (Lorient/Cameroon)
Mexer (Rennes/Mozambique)

I really can't fathom u guys' fascination for lengthy arguments. U are really having a field day.

Plz I think right now there is the dearth of left full backs in our new look super Eagles. We really need options at that LB. I neither see amuzie nor Madu as an option. I need as much depth as we already have at the RB position. How good is Torunarigha? Is uduokhai committing to us? How good are the ones we have in the NPFL?

TheSuperNerd:
Just sad we won't see him make his debut anytime soon until after the Cameroon WCQ double header most likely.... unless Rohr means to include him in his squad for South Africa before the Lions come calling?

All the same.... 14 goals and about 7 (or is it 8 or 9) assists for A team like KAS Eupen is no small feat. Dude got goals in those boots and audacious ball skills.

Kyle: No i havent but when I was at BK Häcken in Sweden, I got some calls from representatives from Nigeria and they wanted me to go down there but at that time i didnt take things seriously. Now Im older, more matured and take things more seriously , and if i would get the chance to go down there i would take it without any question.

This guy is 28 years old... He was approached when he was younger and refused but now the hope for a Swedish cap has dwindled, he is now saying this... Gerrara here men...

OwngoalNigeria should take time with the promotion of these guys.

TheSuperNerd:

Looooollll..... me sef shock when I see that part of the interview.... I just had to share... dude is 28 and wants a chance so bad now because his Swedish Dream have failed....

Sorry Kyle... we Neva even give debut to Otigba and Maunel Akanji... na you we go come consider?? Like Tbaba just said.... dude!!! Gerrarahia mehn!!!!

Chairman, we dnt have issues with our LB IMHO. Echiejile is there.

When Iroha was the LB boss who were the other options? When it was Babayaro who were the other options? When it was Taiwo who were the other options?

Lets not make the mistakes of the more recent past that we were focusing more on 'the other options' rather than focusing on how to maximise the abilities of the main player. Oliseh fielding Onobi ahead of Mikel, all in a bid to create an option for Mikel, comes to mind.

If Echiejile is not in the team for any reason, we have tried Madu and Amuzie in that position before and heaven did not fall. Echiejile is nt too far better than those 2 IMO.

As for Torunarigha and Uduokhai I cant rate them yet for very obvious reasons. Though they may be good additions to the squad if invited.

Our next 3 games for the Super Eagles are very very crucial. Echiejile is first choice. Madu is 2nd. I dnt see Rohr parading any debutant in that LB position for any of those 3 games.

The guy get oyinbo skin so Make him contact forgiveness to add him to his wish list.

tbaba1234:


The guy even plays in the second tier in Sweden, why won't he rush if invited? I do not even get the rationale for the report.

Victor Anichebe made his comeback from injury earlier this evening in Sunderland's 0-2 loss to Ndidi's Leicester.

He came into the fray in the 73rd minute and almost scored as his deflected strike struck the post. #immediateImpact.



As usual, Ndidi started but was subbed off in the 82nd minute.

He had a good game.

I've read through your opinion about the Amunike U20 crash. I believe you've made some valid points but I think the issue boils down to the structure the political class operate at the FA.

In my opinion, the technical department of the Nff didn't do their job. I've always believed that the technical department of any FA should be the strongest. This department is responsible for charting a course for the development of football at all levels in the country.
It falls within their responsibility to put up policy of recruitment into the various cadet teams. If they had done their job properly, we wouldn't be in this quagmire.
Failure to qualify for both U17 and U20 Caf championships is a disaster to put it mildly.

If the technical department was in tune with international standards they wouldn't have allowed Amunike to recruit only academy players to prosecute the AYC qualifiers. The John obuh team that won the AYC had a fusion of league players like Terry Envo, Ajagun, Uche Nwofor and the likes while the Manu U20 team had the likes of Sokari, Nwobodo, Ifeanyi and so on.
If these successful teams had these players, it begs the question, Why take an exclusive U18 academy boys for AYC qualifiers? What was the method to the madness? This brings me back to the technical department of the FA.

In my opinion, the quality of personel in the technical department should be reviewed. I don't think people like Lawal, Ikpeba, Jay Jay Okocha and likes should be there, with all due respect. I don't know if James Peters is still in that department but if he is still there like I suspect, then his position should be reviewed.
The technical department should be manned by competent technical people. Their job description shouldn't be just to recommend coaches or interview prospective managers.

I will wholeheartedly support the hiring of a foreign manager to head the technical department. I was quite open to the appointment of Tom Saintfield a few years ago as the head of technical Committee. I stand down.

Exclusive – Ex Flying Eagles Prospect Saidu Close In On Transfer To Shakhtar Donetsk





Five years after former Super Eagles striker Julius Aghahowa ended his romance with Ukrainian Premier League side Shakhtar Donetsk, the club are set to sign another Nigerian, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.


Aghahowa was the last known Nigerian player who made waves at the Ukraine outfit, although his first spell from 2000 to 2007 still remain his most prolific time at the club, as he failed to match expectations when he rejoined them for a second spell in 2009.


The club is presently running the rule on Rimi Youth of Kaduna midfielder Saidu Mukhtar, who trained with the Nigeria U-20 team during their ill fated attempt to qualify for the Africa Youth Championship.


Mukhtar has been training with the B team of the club for the last one week and will be offered a professional contract if he impresses the handlers of the team.


A fine distributor of the ball, the 18 year old is widely regarded as one of the finest emerging talents in Kaduna due to his abilities and his stature. He stand at an impressive height of almost six feet tall.
