Kog45: Onazi is definitely living in past glory. Musa and Moses Simon too, Moses Simon's own is even worse because I really don't even know which past glory he is living in, the coach just like a him. I just named three players that I think are living on past glory, now lemme name three players that can easily replace them; Kayode, Onyekuru, Dressier,Onuachu, we have forgotten Fanendo Adi let me not go on. you want to know why Onazi needs to be dropped? easy, because we have better players in that position, let me not even get into the technical aspects. I however agree that he is a vital utility player, but a starter? No no |

I think it's time people stop berating the Turkish league. Something is brewing there. Just last week Samir Nasri transfered to Antalyaspor. Compasrims between Turkey/Championship is way off the mark following the transfer market trend. Wish Alex all the best in his decision. That's all I can say. ************************ Alex Iwobi could make shock loan move: Galatsaray in talks with Arsenal over deal - report Iwobi broke onto the first-team scene at the Emirates last season. But a surprise exit to Turkey could be on the cards. Galatasaray after in talks over a loan swoop for the Nigeria international, Takvim . The report claims the Istanbul club's sporting director Cenk Ergun has opened talks with Gunners top brass about a deal. Iwobi is under contract with the north London club until 2020. He made 38 appearances last season, but with many of those run-outs coming off the bench, his development may be boosted by a season of starting week-in, week-out in Turkey. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/640135/Arsenal-transfer-news-Alex-Iwobi-Galatasaray-loan-deal 1 Like |

Kog45: Monday Odiaka was initially the most shinning star from the fantastic 1985 U20 team that finished 3rd at the WYC. In fact Monday Odiaka won the golden boot in that tournament. From the crop only Andrew Uweh and Ndubuisi Okosieme made the Maroc 88 AFCON squad. But Siasia later managed to transit into the Super Eagles. In fact his first AFCON was Senegal '92 Daniel Amokachi was exempted due to injury I think. Amokachi first featured at Algiers 90. Samuel Okwaraji was the SS to Yekini in that '88 AFCON. Amokachi took over from Okwaraji. Amokachi was Nigeria's first choice Supporting striker to Yekini. That Nigeria Vs Argentina game you made reference to see the way Westerhoff lined up his team: .......................Rufai Eguaveon..Nwanu..Okechukwu..Emenalo ..........................Oliseh ..........................Siasia Finidi.................................... Amuneke ............Amokachi ............................Yekini. Samson Siasia played Central Midfield (surprised?) while Amokachi retained his SS spot. I remember vividly that Sissie's selfish incidence against Ivory Coast. We were losing 2-1 in Abidjan. Yekini was unmarked and on-side. Rather than for Siasia to pass to Yekini he blasted the ball wide. Westerhorf also axed Reuben Agbola after that match. You come to think of it that there was also "the head master" Mutiu Adepoju in that team. But he was a fringe player even with his qualities . Can ever get to that level again? So my brother I still defend my not including Siasia in my 1990-1999 first 11. |

goldfish80: I think Eguavoen camped the U17 team in Manchester and they trained at Manchester United. That was where the coaches of Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson saw Mikel. He was to sign for Manchester United then but I think trying to spin a deal out of Mikel caused Anderson (who is an ally of Ferguson and then Mikel’s agent) negotiated and brokered the deal to Lynn Oslo, hoping to sell him back to Manchester United for profit. It backfired and Chelsea got Mikel. I think Anderson went to jail for forging Mikel’s signature. 1 Like |

Mickael2:Oh when it comes to Onazi,honestly am not surprise at your comments coz I expect it,so nothing new(team Ndidi) Ahmed Musa,nothing to say coz he is having it tough in his career at d moment,Simeon Moses I can't really say coz I don't rate him much but I believe he had a better game than player like Iwobi against South Africa.So if d likes of Iwobi,Awaziem,Ndidi,Nacho,Echiejele,Abdullahi,Akpeyi got invitation,then no fuss about moses Simeon invitation. |

Kog45:you think shuttling from club to club had been good for his career....? forget it one out of a thousand turns out like Moses story.... keep hoping for a coach who will believe in his abilities..... why don't him leave permanently establish himself somewhere in a decent team... should him improve his game and grow up... as time progress Chelsea or even a more bigger team...might come for his signature like pogba, lukaku etc..... he was one of the promising Africa defenders after the 2013 nations cup.... but it all fizzle out now...the constant loan spell has done him no good.... let me rest here....you've forgotten some of these players don't even think like some of us here....some don't even know the style of play of the team they're moving into.... |

Icon4s:Good analysis my brother i think Monday Odiaka won bronze boot and Samson Siasia made it possible.Siasia was like golden boy of that era that comprises player like Austin Igbinbairo,Wahidi Akanni,Osaro Obabaifo,Andrew Uwe,Alloy Agu,Ndubuisi Okosieme Amokachie did not make Algiers 90,yet to be discovered but mostly on d bench during afcon Senegal 92 qualifier, couldn't make it not coz of injury but advice by Westerhoff to cement is place at club brugge than warming bench at Senegal 92. Siasia was d first to broke into super eagles among Moscow 85 team even not as a bench warmer but a starter,if u can remember eagles failed to qualify for afcon 86 losing to Zambia in qualify stage,this paved for Moscow 85 team but Siasia grab d opportunity and pls tell me apart from Siasia which player among 85 had it so good like Siasia in d national team. Siasia not making maroc 88 was due to club engagements, remember Keshi played only two match at maroc both against Cameroon at group stage and final due to club engagements,this was a period African team find it difficult to have their best at Afcon. Siasia was integral part of d team that played qualifying matches to maroc 88 and Seoul 88,comparing Adepoju with Siasia is absurd,they belong to different class when we talk of national team. Remember as at 90s Siasia was d second highest goal scorer behind Yekinni. Good to have Amokachie but I w pick Siasia over him when having Yekinni as a striker,just my opinion. |

We have players everywhere in Europe like they do. It's just that we place lots of emphasis if they play in the big leagues and a few others. Consider we hardly even look at the MLS at all. Maybe we need to be a little more flexible with trying out players from other leagues or even in the second tier. However, we don't play so much games to experiment. I'm surprised where those new keepers popped up from. And we are still scared to use the likes of Alampasu, Uzoho, and Nwokolor. na wa oh. AIG07: 1 Like |

tbaba1234: There you are once more passing judgment whilst using league ratings as a yard stick, not talent, individual ability or what the man could bring to the team. When was the last time we had a true Right back impress for the Super Eagles? if we are being honest. Funny enough, these guys you mentioned are playing for mediocre teams in their various leagues. I may not be having this argument if they were playing for Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. It will be much fun if we base our posts on the individual qualities of the players and not the Nigerian stereotype of where they are based. |

I believe he signed a non disclosure agreement with the powers that brokered the Man Utd deal anyway. Everything reeks of a maifa arrangement. |

Kortrijk 1-1 Mouscron Ajagun starts for Kortrijk Awoniyi bags second consecutive assist to draw Mouscron level, after his debut goal 3 rounds ago. And a certain Cameroonian is his teammate at Mouscron. If we should go by Cameroon's standard, Awoniyi would be in SE now.. lol Fabrice Olingo didn't even start. However, Awoniyi has been a starter of late.. I think we Nigerians right off ourselves easily/prematurely. 1 Like |
