[quote author=forgiveness post=57157738] Omeruo was played as a DMF this season in his club. Perhaps, is poor defending costs him that position. As you said, he fumbled against Zambia hence the need to play him at the RB. If Aweriem performs better than him in camp, he should go and sidon for corner. [b]Experience should be used when we are talking about a player with class and not one below avera 1 Like |

Rohr Recalls Dropped Watford Loanee Uche Agbo For South Africa Clash ![]() Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has handed a recall to Uche Agbo 24 hours after dropping the on loan Watford midfielder in his list of players for the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers against South Africa. Agbo wasn’t included by the manager in his initial list, but the 23 year old who spent last season at Spanish La-liga side Granada will now join the team when they resume camp in Abuja ahead of the South Africa game. No reason was given by the coach for his recall, even though team sources confirmed to Owngoalnigeria.com that he has lost his spot in the team to FC Porto teen defender Chidozie Awaziem ,who has struck a very good understanding with William Troost-Ekong in the central of defence for the team. Rohr has always called up Agbo due to his abilities to play in more than one role for the team, as even though primarily plays as a defensive midfielder , he is also very much at home as a central defender, but the emergence of Awaziem means the central defence spot is well covered. Also the midfield options available for the coach are very much ahead of him in the pecking order as the likes of Wilfred Ndidi, John Ogu, Eddy Onazi and new boy Mikel Agu have all proven to be best suited to the way the coach wants to play. **Ade Emmanuel Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/06/03/rohr-recalls-dropped-watford-loanee-uche-agbo-for-south-africa-clash/ 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd:Rohr is doing something. He's mixing things up so well till he gets a fine blend so much that although he would have his starting 11, he'd want to be so confident to throw in any player just about anytime into the fray. Depth, flexibility, dynamism, unpredictability is what I see him aiming for. |

NIGERIAN STARLET HENRY ONYEKURU CONFIRMS ARSENAL OFFER ![]() Following a stunning season in Belgium, the 19-year-old striker has caught the attention of Gunners manager Arsene Wenger Nigerian striker Henry Onyekuru has confirmed that Arsenal have made an offer to secure his services. The 19-year-old had a breakthrough campaign in the Belgian top-flight in 2016-17, scoring 24 goals in all competitions for Eupen. His exploits have led to interest from around Europe, but it appears the Gunners are set to win the race for his services by triggering a £6.8 million buy-out clause. "It’s a good feeling for a club like Arsenal to make a bid for me, this is due to my hard work in training and games," Onyekuru told the Nigerian Football Federation. Onyekuru's attraction to the Gunners is partly fuelled by his desire to follow in the footsteps of one of his footballing idols. "Thierry Henry has always been my idol since I was a kid," Onyekuru said. "I was watching him play, watching Arsenal and going to YouTube to watch most of his games. "I remember saying if I had to move to the Premier League I want to be like Thierry Henry, so it's likely to come true and I'm looking towards it at the moment." Onyekuru made his full Nigeria debut on Thursday, coming on as a 59th-minute sub in the Super Eagles' 3-0 friendly win over Togo.

tbaba1234: ok do you know that when Omeruo's club had an injury crisis it was Omeruo that was called upon to play the DMF position, the reason then was that he is the best ball playing CB in the team and one of the best in the league. Check, it's mainly ball playing CBs that are error prone like Pique and Stones just like Omeruo. Omeruo for me is the better and more willing ball playing CB 1 Like |

IDEYE’S BRACE CANCELS MARTINS’ EFFORT IN SHANGAI SHENHUA DEFEAT By Taiye Taiwo ![]() The Nigeria internationals were on target in a Chinese Super League fixture at the Tianjin Tuanbo Soccer Stadium. Brown Ideye scored twice to cancel out Obafemi Martins ’ opener as Tianjin Teda sealed a 2-1 win over Shanghai Shenhua on Friday. Martins got the Gus Poyet’s side off a bright start in the nine minutes into the encounter after converting a Giovanni Moreno’s assist to net his fourth goal in six league games. After 28 minutes, Ideye scored the equaliser for the Tianjin Tigers before completing the comeback a minute before the end of the encounter. The former Olympiacos man has now scored four goals in 11 games this season and will hope to increase his tally when the Jamie Pacheco’s men visit Beijing Guoan on June 18.

Well yes for CB. But let's not all forget how they perform in camp before the actual match is what the coaches see. I'm basing my reasoning in the fact that Omeruo has not played for us as a CB in a long time, and Rihr seems to like Awaziem and Ekong partnership Icon4s: |

Arsenal's bid for Henry Onyekuru under threat as Nice table £6.8m offer for the Nigerian youngster By Simon Jones for MailOnline **Nice have made a £6.8million move to rival Arsenal for Henry Onyekuru. **The Ligue 1 side think they have an advantage with Champions League football **Acquiring a work permit is also easier in France, which could play in their favour **Arsenal have been told they will have to increase their offer to £7.85m Nice have made a £6.8million move to rival Arsenal for Nigeria forward Henry Onyekuru. The French side believe they may hold the upper hand in negotiations as work permit rules are not as strict in France and they can offer Champions League football. The 19-year-old from Belgian club Eupen has just one cap for his country and Arsenal have been told they will have to increase their own offer of £6.8m to £7.85m plus wages of £35,000 a week to ensure the teenager qualifies for a permit in England under the totting-up procedure. Nice have a strong reputation in France for recruiting young players and aiding their development. They finished third this season under Lucien Favre who was approached by Borussia Dortmund to take over from coach Thomas Tuchel. Onyekuru is interested in their project though told the Nigerian Football federation his dream is still to emulate his hero Thierry henry. 'It's a good feeling for a club like Arsenal to make a bid for me, this is due to my hard work in training and games,' Onyekuru told the Nigerian Football Federation. 'Thierry Henry has always been my idol since I was a kid,' Onyekuru said. 'I was watching him play, watching Arsenal and going to YouTube to watch most of his games. 'I remember saying if I had to move to the Premier League I want to be like Thierry Henry, so it's likely to come true and I'm looking towards it at the moment.' Onyekuru made his full Nigeria debut on Thursday, coming on as a 59th-minute substitute in their 3-0 friendly win over Togo.

When I saw Osimhen at the U17 world cup, I said to myself that this is an ideal number 9 we have been waiting for.He is a typical number 9 and Rohr trusts him. Victor Osimhen is the golden boy of Nigerian football. Tammy Abraham would be an asset if we can get him. Victor Osimhen would keep getting the invite with Rohr as head coach and even after his exit.Its left for Victor to impress and come good I would breathe fine if Omeruo,Akpeyi and Ezenwa are left out of the starting 11 against SA. 6 Likes |
