Humility017:

rohr should please Invite this dude to train wit the SE prior the World cup....let's give him a sense of belonging....before Germany steals him....
we can't drag players wit germany

Lol.. Immediately I saw you comment I knew It is you... Lol

Martins was never an influential player in SE, so why the fake fears? if we are having this convo as regards Enyeama, then that will makes sense. However Rohr has given Enyeama conditions.. Don't try to find every reason now because it's Martins. You have already admitted you are sentimental about this, then why the further talk. Neither you nor I can control who gets invited. Let's move on from the topic.

Mujtahida:

You never can tell if it would destabilise or not. Westerhof was the leader when players were having scuffles in camp as Kog45 has often related. It's not military but the military metaphor is apt.

Infact with all dis our nairaland agents here (forgiveness, humility07,kogs45 and co)

There were 6 games in August in both the league and cup.

Martins played in 3 matches, was on the bench for 1 and did not make the squad for 2 games. He scored 0 goals and 0 assists.

After his last game he picked up an injury and missed games for 4 weeks.. (He only missed games in September)

He returned recently and played 2 games with one assist.

That is not blazing form.. Once he returns to top form, make this case again.

Thank God you are confessing small small.

I thought you said he had on assist since July? Hahaha!

Fred Friday has been banging goals for Jong Alkmaar lol 5 goals in 4 games.
Make he score well well oh
I guess he is now the top scorer in the Dutch second tier, also called Jupiler League.
Keep working hard young man

forgiveness:


Thank God you are confessing small small.

I thought you said he had on assist since July? Hahaha!

He has had one assist since July.. That is true... Abi you no understand English.. His last assist was in June before October

That assist was just a few days ago.

Fear how? I never said that's what will happen. I said you never can tell. Abi you can guarantee 100% that such a thing cannot happen? You said Rohr is the leader and I only brought in Westerhof to show you that even that is no guarantee.

Mickael2:


We just need to agree that if I am right at the end of the day, all those that called me a SE's enemy will eat their words. Sha until then me I no go talk again.

Cc Tbaba, Joebie

right in what?
clamouring for old players to be recalled back to the SE....
same players whose experience and potentials could not a fetch a deal in any top 5 league in the world...not even in Italy a league where good and experienced old legs play....

bro ...there is no right there...
you're very good in tactics...but your players selection is otherwise....

I have no doubt many of us here will make poor coaches in players selection and even tactics than rohr....we criticize everyday.

I remember the next old player that will be argued for...will be taye taiwo....

Joebie:
Amuneke would have made a great assistant. Make we manage Yusuf and Amapakabo

They say the Amapakabo (omo dis name hard no be small) is a deep intellectual oo. Don't know if that would make him a sound coach.

Abeg oooo, it has often been said that Rohr is not tactically adept. It has even been suggested that technical assistants be hired for him. Should the ones he has now be sacked? And mind you he came with this guys since he was employed. Only the goalkeeper trainer Enrico was recently hired. I am curious as to how our coaches here on this thread know better than four men who I presume make their livelihood as coaches.

My father would like me to play for Nigeria – Dominic Iorfa

today.ng

Oct 27, 2017 8:10 AM














Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Dominic Iorfa who is on loan to fellow Championship side Ipswich has confirmed his readiness to represent Nigeria in the future ‎despite playing for England at various youth levels.

Iorfa who is the son of former Nigeria international Dominic Iorfa told Ipswich Town’s Magazine that his father would like him to play for Nigeria, but for now he is focused on doing well with his loan side Ipswich Town.

“Maybe my dad would like me to play for Nigeria in the future, we will see but he understands it’s a big year for me and my priority is to progress with Ipswich. He has always been there for me and I have taken his advice. He has been in my shoes, so he knows what it’s all about,” Iorfa said.

Comfortable as a right back or central defender, the 22 year old was voted the Football League Young Player of the month in January 2015 ‎after his breakthrough into the first team of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Aready his father has confirmed the willingness of his son to represent Nigeria after reaching the age of 22, which he said a decison will be made on his international career when he turned down invitation from Nigeria for his son to join the Nigeria Olympic team of 2016.

Coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr also met with the defender in England last year when he paid a visit to first choice goalkeeper Carl Ikeme, a meeting which according to Iorfa cost his son his spot at the Championship side.

Pinnick congratulates Dikko on FIFA appointment -

Oct 27, 2017 1:00 PM











President of Nigeria Football Federation,Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick on Friday congratulated NFF 2nd Vice President/LMC Chairman Shehu Dikko, after the soft –spoken administrator and marketing and strategic development expert was

appointed a Member of the FIFA Football Stakeholders Committee. FIFA ratified the appointment of Dikko at its Council meeting held Friday, 27th October 2017 in Calcutta, India.

Dikko’s appointment made him the third Nigerian to be appointed into a FIFA Committee this year, after Pinnick himself was enlisted into the influential Organizing Committee for FIFA Competitions and former Lagos State Chief Judge, Justice Ayotunde Philips was elected Member of the FIFA Ethics Committee (Adjudicatory Council). 

“It has been a glorious year for Nigerian Football. We have qualified for the FIFA World Cup with remarkable ease, much more comfortably than anyone could have imagined after the group phase draw. We qualified for the CHAN. Now, we have people in very important positions in world football, signifying global reckoning, and it is a thing of absolute joy.

“Shehu (Dikko) fully deserves his appointment. He has been doing

excellent job as Chairman of LMC and as 2nd Vice President and Chairman of the NFF Marketing, Sponsorship and Television Advisory Committee, as well as the NFF Strategy Committee. I believe he will fly our country’s flag very high in that committee and his experience, deep knowledge and work ethic would be huge value added to FIFA’s objectives in developing football across board

,” Pinnick told thenff.com.

Its modus operandi states that the FIFA Football Stakeholders Committee “shall advise and assist FIFA on all matters relating to Football (including women’s football, futsal and beach soccer), particularly the structure of the game, as well as on all technical matters. The committee shall also deal with

relationship

between clubs, players, leagues, member associations, Confederations and FIFA, as well as issues relating to the interest of Club Football worldwide, and analyse the basic aspects of football training and technical development.”

It can be recalled that seven (7) Nigerians have been appointed

into various committees of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), also this year.

EX-GOLDEN EAGLET PROGRESS UPDATE 2

---

Golden Eaglet Class of 2015 goalkeeper, Akpan Udoh is rumored to have already been snapped up by Bnei Sakhnin. According to scorenigeria, the modest Israeli top tier side have hired a dedicated goalkeeper trainer to work with Udoh for the next year with the plan of farming him out to a big club in England or Spain. ScoreNigeria insinuated that the scout who discovered the 18 year old stopper from Remo Stars, Manna Abba Nasir ‘Sergio’, believes the lad has the potential to be the best goalkeeper in the world for his age category.

Golden Eaglet Class of 2015 midfielder, Kingsley Michael was handed another start for Bologna Primevera (U19) after he made his debut n the previous week. Starting again as a CM he lasted 67 minutes in their 1-1 away draw with Lazio U19.

Golden Eaglet Class of 2015 forward, Funsho Bamgboye, have not enjoyed a good run of games since the start of the the Hungarian 17/18 season. Funsho's professional career seemed to have started brightly in the 16/17 season after he made 3 appearances from the bench, and again made the bench in the final game of the season. But so far, in the current season, Funsho has only appeared in Szombathelyi Haladás' matchday squad once. And has been absent since August. Szombathelyi Haladás competes in the Hungarian top tier (Nemzeti Bajnokság I).

Golden Eaglet Class of 2013 captain, and one-cap Super Eagles Right-Back, Musa Muhammed has been ever present in the Bulgarian top-tier since appearing in Lokomotiv Plovdiv's matchday squad. However, the Plovdiv left-back could not inspire his team to a second consecutive win, as they fell 3-0 away to Chermo More. Muhammed has played every single minute since his second loan spell from parent club Baseksehir Istanbul.

Golden Eaglet Class of 2015 midfielder, Joel Aiyetoya Osikel, starred for Slovenian NK Domzale U19 in both their home and away games involving Serbian FK Cukaricki U19 in the UEFA Youth League. Osikel played for 90 mins as a DM in the home game which ended in a 1-1 draw, but fell away 4-1 while he clocked 80 minutes. Domzale therefore crashed out after the 1st round, losing to the Serbian side 5-2 on aggregate.

Golden Eaglet Class of 2015 forward, Sunday Alimi, has been snapped up by Turkish giants, Galatasaray. Turkish online football website, gamaspor.com reported just two days ago that the former Lobi Stars player has signed an official contract with the club after turning 18 earlier in the month. He is expected to start training with the U19 side of the Turkish outfit.

footballlive.ng










If you’re on the look out for Victor Moses in the Chelsea Xi or at least a sub’s role this weekend, you’d be disappointed as the Nigeria International is now where near full fitness.



Moses, 26, crocked with an hamstring injury that has kept him out for two weeks will miss further games.

In his pre match presser on Friday Chelsea Manager Antonio Conte disclosed the player had not been considered for a place in the squad for the league match against Bournemouth.

Moses is one of only two Chelsea players who are unavailable for selection on Saturday.

Midfielder N’golo Kante is also out after pulling his hamstring during a 2018 World Cup qualifiers with France.

While their recuperation has been going unhitched, only Kante seems to have a certain return date.

Conte told journos the French International will return to action against AS Roma in the UCL next week, but nothing yet on the Nigerian wing-back.

Hehe, the Martins self get injury.


Obafemi Goes Under Strict Medical Checks

footballlive.ng - Source

Oct 23, 2017 1:00 PM

Shenhua Shanghai of China striker, Obafemi Akinwunmi Martins has been put under strict medical examination by his club, following what looked like a knee injury he copped on Sunday.















Reports after the game suggest that ‘Obagol’ might have got a aggravated a previous injury that recently required extensive surgery in United States of America.

However, Shenhua’s coach, Wu Jingui said he cannot make any categorical statement on the situation until Martins sees the club’s medics for a thorough examination of the injury.

The coach also confirmed that Martins will have a scan, after the former Inter Milan of Italy, Newcastle United of England, VfL Wolfsburg of Germany, Birmingham City of England, Rubin Kazan of Russia, Sevilla of Spain and Seattle Sounders of America striker appeared in pain.

Martins was seen clutching his knee towards the end of the match, thereby raising fears that he might have sustained a thigh muscle injury.

Speaking after the match, Jingui allayed fears over the player’s condition, but stated that the Nigerian striker will undergo fresh scan to know if the injury is a serious one.

“We had a good game and both teams were able to play because they are not under any relegation pressure.

“As for Martins situation, we will go back to examine the extent of his injury,” the coach pointed out, while noting how the striker’s assist helped Shenhua seal a draw.

komekn:


I disagree you don't seem to appreciate the exceptional experiential quality that Obagoal can bring to the SE.

The diction you use is baffling, you talked about using the term EVEN.

You can't talk about EVEN with Tega Abrahams this guy is the youngest striker that is tearing up the premiership. How can you compare Dessers, Onuachu, and or Onyekuru to him even in terms of performance he is ahead of Ighalo and the darling of many KC.

weytin person no go hear, better than which ighalo, because he's scored 2 or 3 goals in the epl we'll not hear word again, ighalo did better in his 1 season in the epl
