krattoss: And you want people to take you seriously? Has Simon, throughout his stay in Europe, been able to achieve half of what Henry has achieved in a short while in the same Europe? Dude makes headlines week in week out in Europe unlike Simon yet u had the temerity to question his popularity (fame). See the calibre of teams struggling for his signature while your Simon couldn't secure a move to a team as poor as Brighton and hove Albion. Dude are you for real? Onyekuru turned down PSG after medicals to sign for Everton. Arsenal wanted him badly until Wenger factor reared its ugly head again, which they might live to regret. Presently Athletico Madrid and Juventus are locked in a tog of war for his signature. His exploits and transfer rumours come mainly from renowned international sites unlike Simon's that always emanates from ANS. Simon is a turnover machine, stop-and-run without effective end product. Henry exudes confidence, plays with guile, cuts in to good effect, a threat in goal, fleet footed and very unpredicted, little wonder big teams keep queuing up for him. I love cerebral wingers like Henry. Musa and Simon are anything but cerebral wingers. Simon tracks backs, good, but he doesn't do jack going forward which is his primarily assignment as a winger. Onyekuru can track back too and still bail himself out with his pace and daring style of play. He is young, no doubt but he is head and shoulders above Musa and Simon currently. 6 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Let me put it in lay man's language, do you still grow after you turn 17? The idea behind that MRI is the fusion of the long bones, it is theoritically assumed that once you get to that age you can't grow tall again, but I repeat haven't you seen people above 17 growing perfectly well? |

I think Onyekuru will eventually be converted to a 9. We should try him out at that position during one of the friendlies. It might turn out to be an internal solution to our striking issue atm |

Onyekuru will be far more dangerous if he defended less – ex-Belgium coach Anthuenis By admin - October 22, 2017, 10:17 am Everton loanee Henry Onyekuru is firing on all cylinders at Anderlecht, but he could be a lot more dangerous if he did not have to defend a lot in his own half, according to ex-Belgium coach Aime Anthuenis. Onyekuru has scored seven goals in all competitions for the Belgian champions and really caught the eye with his sparkling performance against PSG in the UEFA Champions League in midweek. But Anthuenis, who also coached Anderlecht between 1999 and 2002, has advised the club’s new coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck the Nigeria forward will be a lot more deadly if he links up more closely with top striker Lukasz Teodorczyk rather than be asked to defend in his own half of the pitch. “Onyekuru does not have to do too much defending in his own half of the pitch because he is on top form and it’s crucial he supports Teodorczyk more upfront,” the respected former Belgium coach advised. He also hopes Anderlecht will soon be back at their best should the likes of Teodorczyk, Sofiane Hanni and Leander Dendocker regain their self-belief and form. http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2017/10/22/onyekuru-will-be-far-more-dangerous-if-he-defended-less-ex-belgium-coach-anthuenis/ 3 Likes |

Iwobi: No Regrets Playing For Nigeria; I Get World Cup Tips From Ozil, Metersacker 2 October 22, 2017 7:12 am Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi shares his experience on what it takes to play for a top club like Arsenal and the Super Eagles of Nigeria, who are flying to Russia 2018. In this interview with Completesportsnigeria.com’s JOHNNY EDWARD, Iwobi also reveals reasons why he wants to step out of his uncle’s Austin Jay Jay Okocha’s shadow… How hard or easy has it been playing for a club like Arsenal? I had to do what I had to do to stay there, concentrate on my game and as a young kid there was a time I was going to be thrown away from Arsenal when there were question marks on me and my ability, and that I wasn’t imposing myself on games as I should. It wasn’t easy for me and Chuba Akpom. We were playing together from the age of four and ever since we got promoted to the U-14s, U-16s. To get picked for training was a big task especially when I was growing at the club because there were lots of young kids there. And being selected for the first team I had to be patient and wait for my time because there was always going to be injuries and some problems which could pave way and whenever the chance comes you just have to be ready. I was able to make my debut against Sheffield Wednesday and ever since then I have been tossed around the first team and I was able to make a start against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League and I would like to say that I have taken my opportunity. I’m still young and the journey is still far off so I just need to keep myself focused. It was hard but something I had to learn from. If you are not performing consistently at a club like Arsenal, then there are other players ready to take the opportunity — which I learned the tough way. I wasn’t involved as much as I wanted to be but I just had to be patient, still have the same attitude, work hard in training and wait for my chance again. That’s what I’ve been doing. Do you feel pressure when the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott, Mesut Ozil and the rest are on the bench and you are playing? Obviously, I am an attacking player, so when other attacking players are out, you need to create goals and get goals — and that’s the main thing for me. People in my position were doing better than me in that aspect of the game, which is to eventually win games, and that’s something I had to work on. I need to do more to keep them there…(Laughs). Yourself, Ola Aina and Tyronne Ebuehi are the young crop of players to have pledged their allegiance to the Super Eagles having played for other national teams at youth level. What advice do you have for players like Tammy Abraham who is being courted by the Super Eagles of Nigeria? Obviously it’s going to be difficult when you’re playing in your comfort zone, representing England. They’ve been raised up in England and they play for England. So that’s all they know. If I get through to him I could talk to him but at the end of the day its not my decision, it’s for him to decide. However for me switching, Ola Aina it can be done as well and it’s been great here. Nigerians are very welcoming and you will enjoy your time. Me personally I’d advise Abraham and others to switch because they will enjoy their stay. As regards Tammy, if I get in touch with him I wil try but at the end it’s up to him to decide. Since you made the decision to switch to Nigeria, have you ever regretted it? Not at all. I’m always happy to play for Nigeria and wear the colours of the country. It has always been an honour for me playing for Nigeria. The journey to Russia 2018 started with you scoring the first goal in the campaign. What memories do you have watching the FIFA World Cup? For me because we have World Cup winners at Arsenal I have been talking to Mesut Ozil and Per Metersacker on how’s it been like playing and winning the World Cup. I have been learning and it has helped me to where I am. They have told me to enjoy myself at the World Cup, that there’s less pressure and I am looking forward to that. Which player do you admire so much? The big stars, in the big teams and I love to watch the attacking players to learn a thing or two from the way they break defences, how they prepare for games and how they evolve during games and match situations. It helps me in so many ways so I can be ready for the World Cup as well. So how are you looking forward to the World Cup since Nigeria have qualified? Obviously it’s my first World Cup and it will be amazing. I would have said the aim is to win it but I will be there to enjoy myself. It will be amazing to make my World Cup debut. I’m proud to be a Nigerian and will always be. Lets talk about your teammates at the national team level. How well do you get along with them? I get along with every one of them. It’s fun with them and we take it serious when we need to. The mood and synergy in camp is very good and that’s the main reason we are flying to Russia. Your uncle Jay Jay was a legend with the Nigerian team. Did you get to watch him play for Nigeria and which part of his game have you emulated? I watched him so well at Bolton and his clips as well, however I will like to create my own person. He (Jay Jay) was a legend and will remain one forever. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/iwobi-no-regrets-playing-nigeria-get-world-cup-tips-ozil-metersacker/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mickael2: The plates is for bone formation. After the formation of the bone, the bone still grow. So it is a misconception thinking the MRI scan for U17 is for bone growth. No, it is for bone formation. After 17, the bone stops forming and continues growing. After the plate goes, FIFA will not allow you play in the Tourney. 2 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: You are right, we have had problems with age cheats but we have churned out younger folks 2013-2015. Wilfred failed 1 MRI before the CAF championship but passed the one during the qualifiers. Ifeanyi Mathew passed all MRI scans but failed before the world cup. I believe these men are not far from their declared age. MRI has drastically reduced the scale of cheating. Not everyone cheats. In 2015, some of our players were still in high school at the time of the tournament. That shows a step in the right direction. Kayode is one of the few active players from his set of under 17 alongside Onazi, Azeez, Ajagun and Omeruo. Kayode still has a lot of pace which tells me, he is not far from his declared age. 9 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: I think this is also an advice for Rohr. We need a to keep the defensive midfield and defence balanced, thus giving the creative players more freedom to attack. This will give us a more deadly set-up. The S. Moses getting nods over Onyekuru seems to do with defending S. Moses offers. However, in a more balanced set-up, I see Onyekuru giving us more goals and making us more lethal upfront. 1 Like |

This age cheat matter sha... In Nigeria,people won't give a sh*t about ur age unless u are a footballer or some kind of celebrity.. I'm not supporting age cheat oo.especially age cheat at junior tournaments.. But when the player is performing well,does it really matter how old he is if he is 40 and claiming 20, there is no problem as long as he is performing well jare (not in an age grade competition though) .. We Nigerians should stop badmouthing our own abeg.. we aren't the only country that cheat.. Most foreigners have negative perception of Nigeria and Nigerians because of what we post on the internet... And seriously if a player age can be determined jut by his looks,then how old would the likes of Diego Costa,Phil Jones,Jon Walters,Charlie Adams,etc be?? Below is a picture of the Morocco u-15 team that played Nigeria u-15 in a friendly few months ago.. I believe morocco is well developed than Nigeria with reliable age record of their citizens..But looking at the players here, you can easily judged them to be over 20 3 Likes

tbaba1234: That is why I prefer a more balanced set-up where the forward players concentrate more in attacking than defending. We are lacking in our defensive set-up and require numbers to defend. This in turn diminishes our attacking strength. With a more balanced set-up, someone like Onyekuru can be considered. |

TheGoodJoe: The examination protocol was applied in four countries using, their respective MRI equipment using a 1‐T or 1.5‐T magnet and a wrist coil. 496 healthy male adolescent football players between the ages of 14 and 19 years from Switzerland, Malaysia, Algeria and Argentina were selected for the study. The degree of fusion of the left distal radial physis was determined by three independent raters by a newly developed grading system which can be used in future MRI epiphysial fusion grading studies. That is what the MRI is all about, FUSION! You can see that up to 19years the bone can still start to fuse at that age(in fact up to 20 sometimes due to improper diets in Africa/Asia). I do not know why you like arguing what you are not sure of. MRI is used to detect FUSION not BONE FORMATION, I am not a radiographer but I know that well enough https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2465138/ |
