No plans to leave Manchester City – Iheanacho
Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho insists he has no plans to leave Manchester City despite being a peripheral figure at the club.

The Super Eagles player is being linked with the likes of Everton and West Ham United due to his lack of playing time at the Citizens, where he is clearly behind Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero in the pecking order.

However, Iheanacho insists that he has no plans of leaving the Etihad Stadium and expects to be part of the club’s plans for the 2017/18 season.

“I’m not very aware of that,” the Nigerian is quoted by the Manchester Evening News.

“I just keep working with the team and I’m still at Manchester City so I’ll meet up with the boys and kick off the season with Manchester City.

“I’m happy to stay at Manchester City and keep fighting to help them achieve what they want to achieve.”

Iheanacho added, “Manchester City is a big team and we need to go far as a squad, so we need everybody.”

Report a problem.

I think he is just being diplomatic. Looks foolish on the surface but there's a method to it. We live in an age where information travels faster than the speed of light. Any bad word against his current employers might prejudice his prospective employers. You know, like they say if you go for an interview, never criticise your former employer.

Was ‘bad boy’ Kayode dropped by top NFF officials?
By admin - March 8, 2017378 0


Kayode Olanrewaju
Sources close to Olanrewaju Kayode have insisted the Austria-based striker was very much in the plans of Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, but he was eventually dropped from the squad for this month’s friendlies in London because some top NFF officials branded him “a bad boy”.

“Kayode has maintained that he was called up by Rohr, but he was eventually dropped because some top officials said he will never play for Nigeria again because he ‘messed’ up one of their ogas some years ago,” said a source close to the former Nigeria U17 and U20 striker.

This was in reference to his transfer saga that involved former top NFF chief Taiwo Ogunjobi and Ivorian club ASEC Mimosas.

The 23-year-old Kayode has been linked with a move to the Premier League in England on the back of his form at Austria Wien.

This season, he has scored eight goals in 22 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga after he netted 13 goals in the last campaign.

This week, he told a radio station that were he chanced, he would demand answers from Rohr to why he has again been snubbed by the Super Eagles.

“If I had the opportunity to speak with Rohr, i will ask him to check my profile and also why I haven’t got an invitation,” he said in the interview.

The Austria Vienna striker also questioned scouting and yardsticks used to invite players to the Super Eagles

“I think the Super Eagles scouting needs to be extensive enough to consider players who are active in their clubs,” he urged.

“There is no way a player who sits on the bench can be fit enough or better than the one who plays regularly.”

I was involved with a premiership team that wanted to sign him at his peak.

Then Amaju was running Warri Wolves, the amount of confusion surrounding him under-dealing and posturing was simply MAD I remove hand.

I actually believe a lot of problems Nigerian players are facing is the direct cause of thier selfish and greedy agents.

I think my beloved forumites have already answered correctly. In fact any match that is considered in the FIFA ranking system will tie down the player.
Come to think of it. The ranking takes into consideration matches played by countries in the past as well. So we dont want a situation were a player made contributions to different teams, which will make the system flawed.

Just me exploring the logic behind the FIFA rule.

According to a report by owngoalnigeria.com, Isaac Success requested a three day break to rest before joining the team. And Rohr asked him not to bother to come at all.

He was hardly playing all season, why is he asking for break? Onyekuru and Kayode who have been active all season are not asking for breaks.

I think I should bring this to the notice of folks here. This Ebuka Okeke kid is something special. I caught the last 35 mins of this encounter against Gombe, one word to describe what I saw was "WOW". This kid dazzled, teased skipped past people for fun all night long. Before he scored the winner, he left about 3 players on their backside before the goalkeeper foiled his attempt. He basically scored with the last kick of the game, after skipping past 2 people and finishing in the bottom corner.
I make bold to say he is the Nigerian version of Mbappe. Anyone opportuned to watch a Rangers game should keep an eye out for the No 9. He is the real deal.
....................................





From Obiagu comes Ebuka, the new hero at Rangers


Rangers left it late to secure victory over troubled Gombe United in Sunday's Match Day 20 encounter in Enugu. It took the brilliant intervention of home boy Ebuka Okeke to score the game's winner after 93 minutes to send the home fans celebrating.
Godwin Aguda had replied Waheed Afolabi's shocking opener for the visitors in first half stoppage time but with both teams poised to end another tumultuous clash in stalemate just like in the reverse fixture in Gombe, substitute Okeke who had been lively since he came on for Bobby Clement just before the hour mark received the ball from Omo Johnson down the left flank, beat two of his markers on the run before opening himself up to curl home the winner into the bottom corner.
The excitement and celebrations that trailed Okeke's winner among the home fans were in two folds. One was the delight of winning such a difficult game at the death and secondly, the fact that the winner came from a son of the soil, and right in front of the stands where fans from his clan, Obiagu, a crowded low income district in Enugu known to produce football and music stars
"I feel great. I am very happy to score and win the match," Okeke told www.npfl.ng
The FC Inter of Enugu product made his Rangers debut early this month when he came on as a second half substitute in a rescheduled Match Day 18 game against league leaders Plateau United. He barely had a touch of the ball after coming on in stoppage time for Chidera Eze but on Sunday, he had 30 minutes or more to make an impression and he grabbed the opportunity.
"It's a dream come true to play for Rangers. I was happy to make the team against Plateau but I didn't have enough time to show what I can do.
"When I had the chance again on Sunday, I just prayed to God to help me and he answered me," stated the nimble footed lad.
Okeke made his full Rangers debut in Match Day 19 against Gombe United in Gombe and he acknowledges the intensity of the NPFL but thanked his teammates who he said have made it easy for him to adapt to the elite division.
"It's not easy (to play in the NPFL)," he noted. "But my teammates have helped me settle. They have always encouraged me and I truly appreciate them".
Victory over Gombe United lifted Rangers to 14th on the log but just two points clear of the relegation zone after twenty round of matches this season. When asked if he is confident the champions will avoid relegation, he retorted:
"God forbid! We will not relegate."
The consensus among the locals in the Coal City is that a new hero is born. The acceptance they have for this lad from Enugu North Local Government Area is one that can only be accorded to a long sought Messiah. Ebuka Okeke's performance in the remaining 18 league games will go a long way in corroborating their belief or evaporating same.

that one is lazy. He must think he's Victor Moses.

If Onyekuru puts in a good shift this period, he should prepare to kiss his position goodbye. We have enough wingers that actually take the NT seriously

I agree, we see them often like that while on club duty. But don't forget their playing position in their club sides are due to other factors as well,
not just their natural position. The strengths of their team members are also taking into consideration.

Modern wingers can play both flanks. Onyekuru is right footed meaning whenever he plays on the right he could make some crosses every now and then. But from the left he cuts in almost all the time, due to his inferior left. Conversely, if he were left footed. I've seen Iheanacho play on the left flank, and he can be a wonderful crosser from there. At the U17 he was the number 10, but we saw him often times operate from the right flank. He would cut in and use his left to shoot. Remember his Tanzania goal.

Etebo, of course you already stated a fact.. I like the humor there. We would need him soon as GK. our GK crises.. pheewww
sontoly:


Kelechi shld strike and henry to the left then etebo right, henry operates from the left most times and cuts in, etebo is also good in any position her versatllile, he can play even as GK smiley

Let the ANS/OGN media war continue. This is from ANS

Exclusive: Success Withdraws From Togo, RSA Games; Watford Write NFF About Groin Injury
Published: May 26, 2017
Exclusive: Success Withdraws From Togo, RSA Games; Watford Write NFF About Groin InjuryAllnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Watford young star Isaac Success has withdrawn from Nigeria's upcoming international friendly against Togo (June 1) and the African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa (June 10).

There is no mischief involved in the striker pulling out of the Super Eagles squad as he is currently down with a groin injury he sustained at Watford, and the Nigeria Football Federation are aware of his ailment.

As a result of the groin complaint, Success was conspicuously absent from the match day squads when the Hornets tackled Chelsea and Manchester City in their last two games in the Premier League.

Watford wrote to the Nigeria Football Federation straightaway when Success's name popped up among the invitees for the get-together in Corsica and Paris, demanding that he should be excused.

The former Granada starlet is presently in the United Kingdom but expected to arrive his homeland as from this weekend.
