I forsee a really exciting season in 2017/18 coz of the rise of Nigerian Players making the step up even more into the big leagues.... Onyekuru's deal excites me the most...... ![]() ![]() Bonaventure's move too is super encouraging... fine move from Zorya to Club Brugge. Kayode should seal a very good move soon to either Leverkusen or Spartak Moscow (I prefer Leverkusen biko). They just keep pouring in... we still have Moses Simon's, and even More.... Our new Golden generation hopes are still on..... Meanwhile... an update on the Iheanacho transfer situation... Seems nothing will happen until the next two weeks or so... ....the source said that the deal would not go through immediately, until a legal dispute with his former agents is resolved. "Nothing will happen for at least two weeks when we expect judgement to be delivered in that case," the source added. "The final hearing was last week, and the decision will be communicated to both parties in about 14 days. "After that, we can go ahead with the process." As reported by Colin Udoh.

Senate passes Nigeria Football Federation bill By Azimazi Momoh Jimoh, George Opara, Abuja ![]() Chairman Senate Sports Committee, Obinna Ogba The Senate yesterday passed the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) Bill 2017, which is now on transit to the president to sign it into law. The passage of the Bill followed a clause-by-clause consideration of the report by the Senate Committee on Sports and Youth Development and was presented by its chairman, Senator Obinna Ogba. In his presentation, Ogba explained that it had become essential to abrogate the extant law because of the controversies usually trailing the execution and regulation of the activities of football in the country. He said that there had been series of court cases relating to football in the country, which did not go well with the country in the comity of nations, adding that the bill seeks to end all pending court cases about the NFF as they would be tackled by the Court of Arbitration and not regular courts. He said: “It has become necessary to repeal the Extant Act. This is because it requires a lot of amendments to bring it into agreement with FIFA required international best practices. It is to give the desired boost it requires. “The Bill has no financial implication because it is only seeking for a change in the name of the football body in order to achieve greater and better results in future. “It seeks to ensure that only those who are actually involved in competitive football matches are members of the Federation and not just organisations and establishments as contained in the extant act. “The bill also makes provision for the election of a President to lead the Executive Committee as against the existing law where the governing body of the association is a board appointed from different organisations. “It further seeks to ensure mandatory systematic development of football through institutional, age and gender competitions. Also, the bill makes provision for development of coaches and referees to enable them participate in international competitions and would take care of funding, which had been a major problem in the country.

Kog45: I'm not surprised. We know ourselves on this thread ![]() The centre stage was already set with TheGoodJoe, Safarigirl and thesupernerd taking sides with Iheanacho,very predictable lineup. iI think the three of them are friends in real life micheal2, chrisoblog and edi holding the front for Kylian Lottini. Imagine, I would have been on the same page as Micheal2, what a scary thought. Icon4s as usual will be a bystander in this sort of debate ( he sounds like a politician sometimes) Komekn would have given the argument an English/European perspective. Tbaba1234 will offer a global perspective while being careful not to hurt the feelings of the Iheanacho team. BascoVanVeli, this one is like weather. He could swing to any side at any moment.

edi287: Most of our players that are skillful & pacy are always deployed to the wings once they move abroad. Regardless of their former position. Whilst the ones that are neither skillful nor pacy end up defending. But if you are clinical at goalscoring & technical on the ball with enough strength, then you get the number 9. ![]() |

goldfish80: Hahahaha, i chose to be a bystander in this argument. As you guys know already, I don't rate young players that highly. So I don't go mcuh into debates on issues concerning young players. A good number of them(most infact) end up not measuring up to expectations. There are certain arguments about young players that I engage in. Not this type. Talking about being a politician, that's funny to me. I think people who have been long here enough already know my stand as per choice of players or players selection. Me i no dey look face to tell anybody here how I feel about him or her. Forgiveness and Komekn know me for that. ![]() |

EXCLUSIVE: Mikel Agu Eagles ‘super revelation’, ‘Muazzam’ best NPFL star FC Porto midfielder Mikel Agu has been the biggest revelation in the Super Eagles training camp in France with Alhassan Ibrahim ‘Muazzam’ the most outstanding player from the NPFL, a top team official has exclusively revealed to only SCORENigeria Eagles coach Gernot Rohr gave debuts to as many as eight players against Corsica on Friday in Ajaccio. He is expected to give other uncapped players like Victor Osimhen and Dele Alampasu their debuts against Togo in Thursday’s friendly in Paris from 6pm Nigerian time. Officials have now specially informed SCORENigeria that defensive midfielder Mikel Agu has been the most impressive new boy in the team in France. “He has shown class, he passes well, wins balls and without doubt a very outstanding prospect for the Super Eagles,” a team official told SCORENigeria He further said the raw edges he displayed in the Flying Eagles training camp in Tunisia in 2013 are no more after a breakthrough season on loan at Vitoria Setubal. The blistering pace of Arsenal-bound Henry Onyekuru has also not gone unnoticed in France. “Henry is fast, like (Olanrewaju) Kayode, and with more experience he can be a very, very good player for Nigeria,” the official remarked. The official also rated Alhassan Ibrahim ‘Muazzam’ as the most impressive player from the domestic league and looks set to underline the progress he has made in France by making the cut for the AFCON qualifier against South Africa. “He has held his own in training in most instances after a bright debut against Corsica,” he told SCORENigeria “He now looks good to make the squad for the AFCON qualifier against South Africa.” It will be fitting for the player to feature against South Africa in the home ground of his club Akwa United. However, MFM left winger Sikiru Olatunbosun, whose superb strike against champions Rangers won ‘CNN Goal of the Week’ has struggled to meet up the standards, failing to show what he has done in the league. http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2017/05/31/exclusive-mikel-agu-eagles-super-revelation-muazzam-best-npfl-star/ 1 Like |

I am not surprised about Mikel Agu. Easily one of our best midfield performers this season alongside Ndidi. One of the reasons, I thought calls for Azubuike were too early. |

Huh Joebie: I do not dispute what you are saying 28 games and 6 goals is not great. However, he does not play for Nigeria as out an out striker. So as a goal tally it is not that bad. However, when he does play he makes a good positive contribution. Considering his club form at what we can describe as top clubs not the creme de La creme of Europe but top league clubs in Europe he has done well. I mean 43 league games and 23 goals for Olympiacos is far from easy. That's why he got his big money bags move to China. I do feel we are too quick to write off some of our ageing starts too quickly. Gyan for Ghana is still cutting it to some degree. I feel a better mixture of young and old would be better. I do suspect that our NFF officials are trying to make arrangements and will impress upon Rohr options that are not to our best interest. Consider Defoe who was written off by England and the EPL has just signed a £130k a week deal with Bournemouth and is back playing for the 3 Lions. Defoe is 2 years older than Obafemi 6 years older than Ideye and 6 years older than Efe Ambrose. I see players in completely dead leagues being considered when our old guard tried, tested and some who are at top clubs are being ignored. If you are not cutting it in your club with very limited exceptions like KC at City. You can't be invited to the SE. Osimhen has played possible 10 minutes of football for lowly struggling Wolfsburg in two games and he is in the SE. That's simply not fair and sends a wrong signal when there are players who are cutting it week in and out for thier clubs. 1 Like |

EmmGee: Yes chances he will be given but there will be no room for error, he has to hit the ground running. In addition what they paying for him is peanuts comparative to other players. Onyekuru needs to go to a mid table EPL club less pressure and then progress otherwise he could end up being a bench warmer. Far better players with far bigger transfer fees and pedigree have come to the EPL and flopped. 1 Like |

EmmGee: Rob Holding has been playing English football knows the rigours of the English game, has had 30 games in the championship. In addition he has had a whole season playing in the U23s getting ready to play the Arsenal way. Onyekuru has had none of that coming from a club where he is the star man, with very little team discipline where he is concerned and little or no pressure. He has a very steep learning curve when he gets to the EPL I hope it goes well. 2 Likes |
