TheGoodJoe:


Why will I not bring Favre you tried to exalt above Klopp but you are here ridiculing Rohr who did more with his Bordeaux team than Favre. It is just sentimental criticism. You want Rohr who is a German to change his philosophy to fit your long ball tall striker strategy forgetting that there is a revolution in Germany with more coaches adapting modern possessive methods.

Super Eagles Star Peter Utaka Back Among The Goals For FC Tokyo



Out-of-favour Nigeria international Peter Utaka returned to scoring ways but could not prevent his side FC Tokyo from losing 3-1 to Cerezo Osaka on game week seventeen in the J League on Sunday, July 2.

The 33-year-old netted his first goal in the Japanese top flight since April 1 when he opened the scoring at the KINCHO Stadium (Ōsaka) after 21 minutes.

Before the deadlock was broken, Utaka came closest with a long range volley, and few minutes later he tapped in from close range after Nagai had robbed the last line of defense.

His other goals this season were against Kawasaki Front, Sagan Tosu, Vegalta Sendai and Omiya Ardija.

FC Tokyo is Peter Utaka's sixth club in Asia following spells with Dalian Aerbin, Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shenxin, Shimizu S-Pulse and Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

William Troost-Ekong Close In On Move To Bursaspor After Agreeing Personal Terms – Reports



According to reports reaching the editorial desk of Owngoalnigeria.com Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong has agreed personal terms with Turkish side Bursaspor.

Sportiv reports that the 23 year old is one of the prime target of new coach of Bursaspor Paul Le Guen, and with 12 months left to run on his deal with Gent of Belgium there’s every possibility of the move happening.

Although the Turkish side are yet to reach an agreement with Gent over his transfer, they have met with his representatives who have now open talks with Gent over his move.

Gent on their part have been on a signing spree with reports having it that a defender has been signed already to make up for the possible departure of Troost-Ekong, who played the last six months of last season at the club after an 18 months loan spell with FK Haugesund of Norway.

Last night he fuelled rumours of his impending departure from Gent when he posted pictures of himself watching a game of his former loan side Haugesund, while the rest of his teammates are sweating it out in Gent’s pre season camp.

TheSuperNerd:
This is the one reason I am gradually losing interest in coming here. When certain people cannot help displaying "their obvious bias".


This is why it is easy to play the "hate card" with TheSupernerd.... all because he is pointing out that certain analyses on a few players here is based on subtle or obvious(in some cases) dislike and not sound sincere analysis.

When guys like Sir Goldfish80 keeps coming up with outrageously shape-shifting and Posts-shifting comments on Iheanacho.



I mean.... This is what I have been fighting against on this thread......Full blown Bias some people display in the name of "Almighty Opinion"

First it was Mikel... now it is Iheanacho. Smh.

I am not saying don't call out poor performances or fumblings by our team... but do so sincerely and not to rubbish a player's obvious potentials and abilities. Downplaying his strengths and making a player look like he is sh*t.


Okay now... Someone says he prefers an Etebo to start upfront in place of the much more lethal Nacho. Like seriously?? What happens to the big striker talk naa? And someone keeps denying that the midfield was the problem... everything falls on Nacho. Everything... every damn thing. Amazing analysts really.... lol



Anyway... in other news...

Martins banged in a brace for his Chinese club recently... and I was just smiling for two reasons...

1.) He brought back keen memories of the years when he was known not just as Obagoal but as "The weapon of mass destruction" (WMD). Now those years are gone. We have a new weapon and more weapons rising strong. Martins remains one of the Finest strikers we produced but right now He is not the savior we need. The issue is not in attack but in midfield. Nacho and Kayode in attack (CF) is enough for now. More will rise.... #GospelTruth.

2.) I could bet a hundred dollars that Forgiveness will post the news himself

I was not disappointed at all.... Looking at the last few pages.... He did in emphatic fashion. lol

"Selective Journalism" has become the order of the day on this thread by a few ba? Posting good news of your favorites but ignoring good news of players you don't fancy right? He did this when England led by Solanke conquered the world at the U-20 World cup... selectively picking up news irrelevant to the Super Eagles just to attempt belittling our young stars.

I have been waiting for him to replicate same with Nacho recently.... News from few days back shows Nacho Still has the best goals per mins ratio in EPL history. Wonder why he skipped that... lol

This is really becoming childish. When I post news here... I do it for all players and with the Super Eagles in mind.... I don't do it to glorify just one or two players...

It is about the team... *The team* NOT individuals.

This is sad. I only have to come back occasionally because of wonderful personalities here like TheGoodJoe, BascoVanVeli, Chief Icon4s and a couple more... some of whom I have had a few major disagreements with in the past. We cannot all be on the same sides in certain discussions but at least... let things be done with sincerity (even on opposite sides of debates) and not childish bias. It is sickening. Very irritating.

I am focused on a golden generation emerging strong and Some folks wanna take us backwards because they got so-called favorites. They want us to settle for less than the best we have! How lame and wicked!!!

We are talking of our best Super Eagles XI and Best Reserves XI and some people say Iheanacho is not good enough?? But Anichebe is good enough... Ehmmmm Martins will do a better job... even Ighalo will excel... imagine the lame talks...


Anyway.... let the Cameroon game come. I know some folks here really pray we lose both games if Iheanacho starts as the CF so that that will be the final stand they take to completely annihilate Iheanacho's name from national team history. This campaign against one super talented young man is baffling...

But I assure you all.... In time, You shall eat your words just like how some ate theirs when It came to Mikel's relevance in the Super Eagles team. This is becoming much more than just stating an opinion.... Some people just want Iheanacho out of the team. #Fact.

And then you accuse me of saying you hate a player.... when it is so bloody obvious?? Abeg.... we can run around in circles on this but I am no fool... I may be young but I have been in this game of analyses in my studies, writings and more... and I know my psychology pretty well... I have also been following the "Beautiful game" since the age of seven.

Words carry meanings... through consistent/repeated utterances in writing from various angles, I can easily deduct when you just don't like someone... I can trace the origins of a single comment made by people active on this thread..... it cannot be hidden. Deny it all you want... but the truth stares you in the face.




I won't reply whosoever quotes this post to spill trash... I don't have such time again to grace such replies. I have a dream for the Rise of Nigeria's Next Super Golden Generation... and not silly arguments out to belittle the obvious super potentials and abilities in our young players.


I don't expect many to agree with me. But This thread is about the Super Eagles and The Dawn of a new era.... that era will come... and it is bigger than just one player.

Little Known Nigerian Midfielder Leventise Azubuike Pens Three Year Contract With Turkish Side




Umraniyespor have officially announced the signing of 20 year old Nigerian midfielder Leventise Owuzie Azubuike on a three year deal.

His signing took place in the office of the club president after a short ceremony which had in attendance the president of the club Recep Yogurtcu and coach Ergun Keles alongside the agent of the player.

Azubuike joined the team without a single minute of professional football in any level of league football in Nigeria, as he was snapped up from local academy Bethel FC.

Umraniyespor are battling to gain promotion to the top flight league in Turkey, which will be historical as they are yet to play in the Turkish Super Lig since their formation in 1938.

Back to back promotion saw them move from the TFF Third League to the TFF First League from 2014 -2016, with their aim solely focused on reaching the top league next season.

Eagles & Akwa United Star Muazam Reveals Why He Prefers Ronaldo To Kanu




Nigeria midfielder Alhassan Ibrahim has revealed that Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is his role model.

The 20-year-old’s playing style has been compared to Nigeria legend Nwankwo Kanu, but he feels he’s faster than the former Arsenal attacker.

“I know people are saying I play like Kanu, even when I was with the Golden Eaglets.

“Am young, I didn’t get to watch a lot of Kanu’s games at the top level, but I went to YouTube to watch some of his clips, how he played and why people are comparing me and him.

“I admire Kanu, he’s a very intelligent player but we are different. He’s slow but am fast, but Kanu is more intelligent and I try to learn from what he did.

“In the modern game, my role model is Cristiano Ronaldo. I just like how he works hard, his hunger to achieve.

“I admire him a lot and I always try to emulate some of his moves.”



Alhassan, who made his Super Eagles debut against Togo in June has scored 11 goals for Akwa United in the NPFL this season.
