goldfish80: I seriously don't know what Forgiveness is on about. It's simple to accept, Bertrand Traore is a full fledged intl. He had a brilliant season at Ajax last term, also showed class at last year's Afcon as well. Solanke is still playing at the U-21 level. He's now at Lyon and has not stopped showing class. He even scored the winning goal for them today against everton. Apart from the Golden boot (or whatever) solanke had with the U-20, there's nothing more he has on Bertrand. 4 Likes |

Player Ratings – France Football Rates Everton Loanee Onyekuru Higher Than Neymar October 19, 201701 Everton loanee Henry Onyekuru has been rated as one of the best players on display by authoritative French football news outlet France Football despite Anderlecht suffering a 0-4 drubbing at the hands of PSG. Onyekuru was on for the entire duration of the game, and although he twice failed to score when he had the chance to do so, he was very lively for the Belgium champions with PSG full back Dani Alves admitting he had a torrid time keeping the Nigerian quiet. His display earned him a 6 out of 10 rating, a score higher than that of the world most expensive player Neymar who scored one of the goals for PSG, but was rated 5 out of 10. French forward Kylian Mbappe got the highest rating with a score of 7/10, a figure only better than that of Onyekuru and his teammate Adrien Trebel who were a point short. “The young Nigerian still has a lot to learn but Henry Onyekuru was daring, dribbling at ease for his team. He could have scored in the 12th minute but for a save by Areola after he left Dani Alves rooted to the spot. “He could also have reduced the deficit late on in the game but was denied by the crossbar.At only 20, this Everton loanee has a bright future ahead of him, a piece on his 6/10 rating reads. --OwnGoalNigeria 3 Likes |

goldfish80: Which youth competition did Victor Osimhen win Mvp? While you're at it. Dominic Solanke has scored goals in his professional career while Victor Osimhen is yet to get one. However, Dominic Solanke is getting minutes in oneof the biggest leagues in the world and in one of the best teams in the world while Victor Osimhen is struggling to get play time in a club that almost went on relegation last season(i hope he does). What an irony! ![]()

ALGERIA VS NIGERIA DEAD RUBBER UPDATE Madjer: Algeria Will Defend Honour Vs Super Eagles October 19, 2017 4:54 pm ![]() IFFHS BETA Newly appointed Algeria coach Rabah Madjer has promised his team will give the Super Eagles a tough time in their November 10 Russia 2018 World Cup African qualifying Group B clash. Algeria are out of the World Cup race after losing four of their five qualifying matches, while Nigeria claimed the group’s sole ticket with four wins and a draw. But, despite the game being of little significance, Algeria legend Madjer insists he is taking it seriously. “We will defend the honour of the the national team in the next match against Nigeria,” RabahMadjer told lebuteur.com after his unveiling on Thursday. “You will see the true face of the team after the match against Nigeria.” Madjer, 58, who took over from sacked Spanish coach Lucas Alcaraz, becomes the country’s fifth national coach in three years. --CompleteSportsNigeria |

forgiveness: Dude, I mean this is plain....let me not use the word I want to use. Liverpool is in no way one of the best teams in the world at the moment. Solanke is what exactly at Liverpool? 3rd choice! How many games has he started? Zero! What has been his contribution in the Epl this season? I mean Liverpool has been struggling to score goals in the Epl yet he hasn't started a game! Now let this sink in for effect. Origi saw Firmino ahead of him and Sturridge too, he left because he knew he was too good to sit on the bench. The simple matter is that if Origi stayed he would have relegated Solanke to the U23 team. Solanke gets to sit on the bench because there is an English quota that must be maintained both in the Epl and Champions league. Oshimen on the other hand just signed a professional contract. He was not trained in any german academy, he is still learning the german language and getting used to the german system of play yet he has accumulated just about the same minutes this season as Solanke. In fact it is embarrasing that you are still bringing up Solanke as a topic of discussion. 7 Likes |

junnyjake: He was trying to bring something out of nothing when he said Solanke failed in the Eredivise because that is failure by his own standard for a 17 years old player in his first professional club career. Then if that be the case, it's safe to say Bertrand Traore failed woefully in his first professional club career. Abi, what do we call an 18 years old player who could not break into Vitesse first team, and when he was given the chance with the first team scored 3 goals out of 18 games? That is the point. Oga! Dominic Solanke is currently playing with Liverpool. He played in the UEFA Champions League 2 or 3 days ago. So, what is the ado all about?

Mickael2: Go back and read what brought this up. Talent wise, Solanke has bitten him from U17 - U20. He has also bitten him in the Chelsea academy where both played. Why was Solanke always top and recognized in everywhere he went ahead of Traore? Traore has an edge because he is older and started professional football before Solanke but comparing them at what they did at the same age, Solanke performed better than Traore. Let us wait for another two years before we conclude who is better. Thanks 1 Like |

[b]Will Obafemi Martins Make Nigeria's World Cup Roster? Rohr Answers[/b] Published: October 19, 2017 Will Obafemi Martins Make Nigeria's World Cup Roster? Rohr Answers To Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has refused to categorically rule out the option of taking former Newcastle United and Inter Milan striker Obafemi Martins to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The German tactician has stated that majority of the players that helped the national team qualify for a sixth World Cup won't be omitted from the 23-man roster. ''We will call the best men, but now everybody wants to come because we are in the World Cup,'' Gernot Rohr told HipTV when asked if Martins will be called back to the Super Eagles ''The players who brought us to the World Cup, I don't forget them.'' Obafemi Martins also played a role in Nigeria's qualification for next summer's showpiece, having made two substitute appearances against Swaziland in the second round of the World Cup qualifiers in November 2015. The Shanghai Greenland Shenhua frontman debuted for the Super Eagles at the World Cup against Argentina on June 12, 2010. This season, Martins has contributed to 11 goals (8 goals, 3 assists) in 15 appearances for his Chinese club. Ifeanyi Emmanuel http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/906973921?-18946:4882:3 |

Dedebanky85: I am pointing out that we shifted from the way we used to do it and this created room for bias. Most countries, especially, Europeans, South Americans and Asians, mostly have home grown teams with quality local leagues that helps in the screening process. However, we do not have such luxury, especially, with our league in rot. Also, these other teams have better selection processes in Europe. I am not saying we have been doing it but we departed from a system that ensured a squad of almost the very best of the country. We can not even compare our players to the Senegalese and Ivorians who have a good pathway with the French leagues. |

Kog45: Unfortunately you seem not to appreciate that the club and league you play in has everything to do with quality. That quality will impact on your development and the quality if your outcome delivery. Yes there will always be exceptions to the rule. That's why when you do well in a lower league or club you get recognised and you move upwards and onwards. This can be vice versa as a number of our boys started off in top leagues but find themselves today in the backwaters of Turkey. So I disagree with you. Ademola, Dele Alli, Gomez, left league one to the premiership as teenagers. You cannot compare a bench warmer in Real Madrid for instance to someone just playing in for instance the Turkish league. 1 Like |

Friends, Countrymen, Nairalanders! Please allow me to voice my opinion on players we are proposing to be invited to camp for the world cup. We are all passionate people and we want to field the best 23 at all times. But the truth of the matter is inviting 100s of players to camp doesnt help us in any way. In fact I dont wanna be the coach in such a scenario.why? You will always be faulted along the personality divide. Unless of course you are God almighty, there is no way you wont have bias or clouded judgement. You see some players ,they are skilfull but have bad attitude. How do you manage such people especially if it goes against ur principles as a coach. We all know the logical thing to do but logic isnt reality. And at the end of it all, you will still be subjected to peoples court trial. 40 top players is enough so you dont hurt too many people and then say yeah, afterall they are professionals. We are human beings ... love beings. We dont handle rejection very well. Nigeria is a country blessed with talents and as I always tell people, we can have as much teams up to team K, all filled with foreign based professionals. Thats how blessed we are. As a coach, you need to choose players that fit your ideologies because after all said and done, you are responsible for their performance even though they take the credit. For instance, if I was a coach (thankfully i am not) my wingers and attackers have to be able to use both feet with high proficiency and accuracy. So if a player is good and always scoring with his right only, i probably wont look his side. In public court, thats just plain stupid right? As in why would I not want to take a tested and trusted right footer that scores regularly just cos he uses only right. Now juxtapose this with having over 100 players in camp. A lot of them would av failed even before the excercise started. Another thing is not everyone can get to play at the world cup. And hence our coach needs to base his invitations on what the invitee is coming to do in the team. Not just on hypes. The time for trying to nurture a player in the national team is quite over. This is what the last 4years was all about. The next 8 months as it were are crucial to what we hope to achieve at the world cup. Hence it is no time for trial and error. All this Peter Olayinka here, Ik uche there and Tammy over yonder only unsettles the balance of the team. While i dont have anything against inviting them, we should always question what they are coming to do in the team. Will their addition be complementing the team or be making us wish they were never invited in the first place? An example is what happened at 2002 Korea/ Japan world cup. The whole issue was handled wrongly and what did we achieve after all our team got disbanded? We scored only 1 goal and managed only a draw against england. 2014 word cup nko? Keshi changing almost all his players. So i say lets try and be a bit patient with the players we have currently and not force too many tweaks....(to be continued) 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: I should add where you are born is irrelevant. It's your quality that us important the Chelsea youth teams have players from all over the world. Indeed Lyon's Traore is a full international for Burkina Faso and had his first cap at 15 when still able U16 player at Chelsea. By the way our boys still face undue racism and discrimination in the UK as well. Admittedly it's not as pronounced in the city Region of London. But come up to North England and you will be shocked. My dream for Nigeria is to pick up the totally unknown Nigeria origin boys and use them to disgrace Nigeria. The boys excluded on race and for reasons of corruption. 1 Like |
