Simple question ❓ how many first team games has he played? How many England youth games has he played? Finally, what loan moves has he been on and performed

That will tell us progression or level ability otherwise it's just a good gesture. However, playing for United youth team doesn't mean automatic quality.

I know United well and have seen many boys just making up the numbers. It's possible to have only 6/7 players with real potential and other who look good because they are surrounded by quality players.

Also there is the issue of corruption and that can push a player back. I have seen him play not that impressive so far.

I remember John Cofie a team mate of Pogba he was a striker in the United team that won the youth cup with Pogba. Where is he now at the 8th tier of football that's how low he has gone.

Unfortunately, you are right.
The cases of Godswill Ekpolo and Derik osede comes to mind.

Nike has been making whack Jerseys since time immemorial..

I would have preferred NFF to go for Puma after our Adidas deal expired..but Puma jersey for African teams is kind of too tight,tho the designs are very cool..


Look at this our away jersey in 2015.. The worst I've ever seen...

Akpoguma Makes U-Turn On Snubbing Nigeria For Germany Says Anything Can Happen




German-Nigerian defender Kevin Akpoguma has left the door open over a potential switch of allegiance to Nigeria, few days after saying he wants to focus on progressing through the ranks of Germany.

He has already represented Germany at various youth levels, but coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr was hoping to convince him to switch allegiance to Nigeria at senior level.

Rohr is in Germany and he confirmed that he will hold talks with Akpoguma soon to have a chat with him on playing for Nigeria, but the 22 year old immediately responded by saying he wants to play for Germany.

However reports from Germany monitored by Owngoalnigeria.com has it that he granted an interview on a sport programme in Germany, where he confirmed he is open to the idea of playing for Nigeria.

Roland Mark said Akpoguma even confirmed talks will be held with Rohr who handles the Nigerian team, referring to him as a coach he respects a lot right from his days as director of youth football in Germany.

Taliban:
Good thing is Victor Mosis is quite comfortable with his left foot and has delivered some great passes and scored goals while playing from the left. Ihenacho is also a natural leftie.

I remember Ahmed Musa's goals against Argentina from the last world cup came from the left wing too. While the left side of our defence and midfield seems weak when compared to the right side, I don't believe we are that bad. Hopefully with a fir Victor mosis and an able left sided defender, we should be more effective on that channel. My humble submission.

Including this quote from German journalist mark Roland.

” It’s scary how some players think they can have a future at a team that doesn’t even know if they exist at all. I think Akpoguma is trying to get Germany to notice him by turning down Nigeria

This is the first time he is having a taste of the Bundesliga, and he is already 22. In the Germany national team there are about 8 players ahead of him, and a further 7 waiting in the wings. Among them he is by far the oldest among all and the least rated. If not for injuries he wouldn’t have been in the team of Hoffeinheim. Credit to him he has taken the chance to make an impression but in just few games, and one of the games was the one Rohr watched.

He has to reconsider and play for Nigeria, that is his surest way of going to the World Cup. He need to take a cue from Leon Balogun who is now considered by some in Germany as one who got away from them, thanks to his display for Nigeria''

forgiveness:


If we are looking for a natural left winger, Sheyi Ojo and Sone Aluko are natural LW and we know they are very good.


But in this era right footed players play on the LW while left footed players play on the RW. Ronaldo is right footed but he plays on the LW while Messi at the early stage of his career played on the RW.

Ahmed Musa, Tega Etebor, Moses Simon, Alex Iwobi, Henry Onyekuru and Ademola Lookman are LWs while Victor Moses, Sone Aluko and Sheyi Ojo are RW..


If I am asked to choose two each for these positions, I will naturally choose Ahmed Musa and Moses Simon for the LW while I choose Victor Moses and Sone Aluko for the RW.

The reason I will not choose Alex Iwobi is because I consider him an AM, therefore, I will deploy him in the SS role.


Why I choosed Ahmed ahead of Onyekuru is because he is more experienced and also dangerous on that wing but if he doesn't get enough playing time prior to the WC then I will replace him with Etebor or Onyekuru.

Simon Moses is ahead of Etebor and Onyekuru.

It is very natural I choose Victor Moses because he is almost the best in Africa. Sone Aluko is more experienced than Sheyi Ojo hence my choice to pick him ahead of Sheyi Ojo. It is not as if Sheyi ojo is not good enough. If Sone Aluko is not available I will choose him.

Wow!!! Now this is the Forgiveness we av all been yearning for. See how polite, humble, rational and mature you dropped your opinion unlike your usual taunting to get people riled up. I must give you credit for this improvement and I hope this ur new version lasts longer here.

I'm sorry for the harsh words and derogatory remarks i aimed at you few pages back.

Ighalo Completes Construction Of Orphanage, To Be Launched In December

wetinhappen.com.ng

Nov 22, 2017 12:20 PM






By James Agberebi: Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has set aside Saturday, December 16, 2017 as the date for the launch of his new orphanage in Lagos, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

Chima-based Ighalo confirmed the date on his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday.

Last year, Ighalo revealed he planned to open his own orphanage to help the needy.

He was also posting pictures of the orphanage during construction stages on his social media accounts.

And on Tuesday, a press conference was held in Lagos to brief the public about plans concerning the unveiling of the orphanage.



Present at the conference were former Nigeria internationals Peter Rufai, Samson Siasia and Austin Eguavoen and also ex-Super Falcons goalkeeper Ann Chiejine.

“Launch date is 16th of December 2017 you are all invited,” Ighalo wrote on his Twitter handle, with pictutes of the completed buildings of the orphanage.

The pictures show one big, one-storey building with artwork in the front of the top floor depicting Ighalo in his traditional goal celebration of kneeling down and raising his hands to the heavens. ‘God is able’ is boldly inscribed under the image of Ighalo.

There is what looks like another one-storey building behind the main one, both looking big enough to comfortably accommodate scores of children.



The orphanage is located in Ijegun, a relatively newly developed, but highly populated part of Lagos in the Ikotun area, where there is not much affluence.

Ighalo helped the Super Eagles secure the sole ticket in Group B for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

I pray God continues lifting Odion Ighalo. Doing this after taking care of widows in the neighborhood he grew up in is not only wonderful but inspiring. May God keep Odion Ighalo flying.

tbaba is correct. In modern game, you don't need your LW to be necessarily left footed. Today, your LW is usually your SS so you need him inside the box and not necessarily as someone whipping in crosses from the flanks. The role of your old school LW is now being played by the LWB.



O pari

tbaba1234:


Diversifying your attack does not necessarily have to do with left footed or right footed players. Nowadays, right-footers play on the left and left-footers on the right.

I do not know if it is a problem yet. Against Argentina, the reason we attacked mainly from the right in my opinion was because of Ndidi. Ogu played from the left but was understandably less willing to go forward so we built from the right.

I remember Victor Moses was a solid threat on the left against Cameroon and Algeria.
