The guy face can make you forget leave ball go play stone.

You still don't get, that Okpotu hasnt been scoring as expected doesn't change the fact that he's last season's HGS so how do you expect the coach to replace him?

Secondly, who's the "better" player on the team list he should be replaced with?

Mickael2:



this whole argument does not make sense. Let's get to the end of it, just answer these questions;
1) You know Goldfish80 has been referring to a CF not exactly a striker right?
2) you know a striker is way way different from a CF right?

Kog45:
Well but a good traditional left winger just like James Etokebe

Grateful to GOD����,first start✅derby WON!!!��thanks to the fans,you guys are fantastic as always�� @vfl.wolfsburg A post shared by Victor Osimhen (@victorosimhen9)

Truidstar:
@KOG45, did you ever get to meet the great winger Friday Elaho. Where is he now?

tbaba1234:


I find it problematic that Okpotu is the best striker that NPFL can offer. Imagine if we had a more potent striker . We would have won games easier

WOLFSBURG’S VICTOR OSIMHEN REVELS IN FULL BUNDESLIGA DEBUT
By Gbenga Adewoye, Correspondent



Since the youngster made his debut in the German top-flight in May 2017, he has continued to play a bit part role in the team... until Sunday

Victor Osimhen is delighted to have made his first German Bundesliga start for Wolfsburg in their 1-0 win over rivals Hannover 96 at the HDI-Arena on Sunday.

The forward joined the Wolves in 2016 after impressing at the 2015 Fifa U-17 World Cup, committing to a pre-contract agreement which saw him join officially in January 2017.
The young striker made his debut in May as a substitute against Borussia Monchengladbach.

With Landry Dimata, Divock Origi, Kaylen Hinds and Julian Justvan all ahead of him in the pecking order. the 19-year-old has since been playing a peripheral role in the team featuring in eight games for Martin Schmidt men in the Bundesliga all as a substitute prior to their clash with the Reds.

But on Sunday, the Nigeria international was handed his full debut in the elite division, featuring from start to finish. And he took to social media to reveal his joy.

“Grateful to God, first start, derby won, thanks to the fans; you guys are fantastic as always,” Osimhen posted on Instagram.





He will be hoping to play a part when Wolfsburg slug it out with Stuttgart in their next league encounter on February 3.

No Club Brugge Trial For Kano Pillars Golden Boy Nazifi Yahaya After Visa Denial For The Third Time




Highly rated Kano Pillars 17 year old forward Nazifi Yahaya has once again failed in his bid to travel to Belgium for trials with Club Brugge after the Belgium Embassy denied him visa.

It is the third time that the forward has suffered such disappointment, despite supporting documents from the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) to the Belgium Embassy.

Nazifi was the top scorer of the NPFL U17 team that won a youth tournament in South Africa last year, and his performance lead to lot of interest in his services.

Club Brugge stole a march on their rivals by offering him a chance to have trial with them. A move which might be postponed for now untill he turns 18 after the latest setback concerning securing a visa for him.

Still only 17, he is widely regarded as one of the top teens in Nigerian football at the moment and from all indication he will make the list of the next youth team of Nigeria.

He showed class by scoring at the 90th minute. It is not about how many times we fall but the times we get back up. I have seen the great Luis Suarez miss easier opportunities, it even got to the point that on a 3 on 1 Messi decided to go with Paulinho over Suababa.

TheGoodJoe:


Amazing news from one of the members of the Super Eagles League of Extraordinary Hitmen.

TheGoodJoe:
To simplify the whole talk.

Iheanacho can play multiple roles in the forward line and he can also play as a creative attacking midfielder. That is what is required from modern day forwards.

Yesterday, we saw Raheem Sterling lead the line and he did a nice job there until Aguero came on.

Iheanacho can play as a top striker, support striker, creative attack midfielder and also as a wing forward.

In today's modern demands of the game, a player should not be tied to a particular role but the amount of contributions he can add to the team playing multiple roles. This Iheanacho has flourished in and that is another reason why he is a special talent.

somehow:
Any news on Musa and co?

somehow:


Maybe because our best hardly stay in the league without running away to some backwater countries for the money. (not their fault though, 99% of Nigerian footballers play football for the money).

Imagine the kind of players (Attackers precisely) that have left our league for greener pastures in the past 2-3 years. Libyans, Sudanese, Zambians, Egyptians, Moroccans, etc don't lose "most" of their best to foreign leagues like we do. i think we are the most hit when it comes to "football drain".

Hopefully, welfare and player package will improve and become better with time.

Kog45:
Friday Ekpo was a good midfielder with too much of skill,well respected in the local league with ACB.He also had a stint with athletic petro of Gabon but couldn't raise his game after Senegal 92 and this paved way for Sunday Olishe.

I still remember his well tailored pass at Senegal 92 to Stephen Keshi that gave us the second goal against Senegal.It was high tension match with Siasia scoring a beautiful goal and Jules Bocande equalised for Senegal after snatching ball from Keshi but Keshi redeemed his image after scoring the second goal and the winner.

Ow that highly electrifying game. Playing against the host in the tournament opener no be beans.

Memories of playing against Algeria in the opener of Algiers 90 still hunted us. Just that we had a stronger team and playing against a relatively weaker opposition.

Jules Bukande, that guy na baller. Both teams played well. It was highly tensed. We saw the best of Keshi after Senegal equalized.

Think I saw the video on YouTube sometime ago. I will look for the highlights and post here.
