Rohr Forcing Nigerian Players To Sign Contracts For World Cup Spots, DW Sports Agency Breaches Fifa Rule

Rohr Forcing Nigerian Players To Sign Contracts For World Cup Spots, DW Sports Agency Breaches Fifa Rule
Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr may be involved in some underhand dealings that will jeopardize the chances of the national team performing well at the 2018 World Cup.

The German is imitating Nigeria 1994 World Cup coach Clemens Westerhof, who forced Emmanuel Amuneke to sign for Duisburg and coerced Daniel Amokachi to join Club Brugge over Anderlecht who were also interested in his services.

There are rumours that Rohr has joined forces with DW Sports Management to force Super Eagles players to sign representative agreements with the French-based agency or be omitted from the roster for the World Cup.

It is confirmed that Rohr visited Ahmed Musa and Moses Simon in Russia and Belgium respectively and few months later the two wingers joined the stable of DW Sports Management.

This website can confirm one hundred percent that the Gent winger was financially induced by DW Sports Management before he penned the representation contract and will pocket a percentage of the commission if he joins a new club after leaving Belgium and this is a breach of Fifa's rules banning third parties from influencing the transfer of players.

Bursaspor defender William Troost-Ekong was also approached to join DW Sports Management but he refused their overtures despite Rohr surprisingly handing him the captain's armband against Poland last month in a pre-World Cup friendly.

DW Sports Management also handles the affairs of Henry Onyekuru, Mikel Agu, Oghenekaro Etebo, Brian Idowu and Abdullahi Shehu, bringing the total number of World Cup bound players they manage to seven and counting.

English-based agent Tony Harris influenced the naming of Reuben Gabriel, Michael Uchebo, Ahmed Musa and Uche Nwofor in Nigeria's 2014 World Cup squad and the national team lacked a quality bench in the mundial, they struggled to qualify for the last sixteen before they were eliminated.

In the light of the foregoing, Rohr and DW Sports Management's antics will affect the Super Eagles performance in Russia if they are not cautioned by the Nigerian Federation.

He's bro,d guy no sabi play ball from day 1 from my own perspective, he's just a lucky dude,we av millions of players better Dan him

And beside I av noticed dis even b4 his ordeal at leceister and now his silly action against his present
coach @ CSKA,patriotism wise towards national call up,he's okay,but football Wise, d guy no b am cool

What ordeal? Was he treated any differently than any other player.

Do you think he wasn't given a fair chance in a league that gives you few chances you either perform or you are out.

In my opinion his limitations were exposed badly in a much more quality and competitive league that is physically taxing and fast. Particularly in comparison to the Russian league.

This is where England's FA have scored an own goal against themselves. All Francophone African countries have free unhindered ride literally to the French league.

But former British colonies have a wall of discrimination and restrictions preventing them from coming in.

EAGLES GOAL HUNT: 9 Strikers Who Can Complement Ighalo At World Cup


With Nigeria’s Super Eagles reliant on Odion Ighalo as the first choice striker ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Completesportsnigeria.com’s JOHNNY EDWARD picks out nine alternatives or back-up striker’s for the struggling Changchun Yatai hitman…

Sadiq Umar, 21 (NAC Breda, Netherlands)
Sadiq Umar, 21, has been a revelation since he moved from AS Roma on loan to Dutch Eredivise side NAC Breda in the January transfer window.

The tall striker was one of the standout players for Nigeria at the 2016 Rio Olympics in Brazil where he scored four goals in six games as the team won men’s football bronze. He has also been playing a crucial role AND Breda’s survival in the Eredivisie.
Umar has bagged four goals and made three assists in eight appearances for NAC Breda who are currently 15th in the league table.
The former Torino player is blessed with a good height and could be a big threat to opposing defences at set pieces due to his physical prowess if called up to the Super Eagles squad.

Due to his height, he may not look fast, but he’s quick. While he’s not the most technical player, he’s not too shabby either; his ability to use his strength to hold onto the ball somewhat masks that ‘weakness’ in his game.

Taiwo Awoniyi, 21 (Royal Excel Mouscron, Belgium)
The former Flying Eagles striker, Taiwo Awoniyi is having a great season with Royal Excel Mouscron since signing from Liverpool on a season loan deal in the summer.

Deployed as a lone striker this season for Royal Excel Mouscron, Awoniyi has provided Royal Excel Mouscron a fighting chance of qualifying for the UEFA Europa League for the first time in their history this season with his goals.

The striker has scored nine goals, provided six assists so far this season in 30 games. The 21 year old has been impressive in his hold up play this season and has also shown that he can perform as a lone striker.
Olanrewaju Kayode, 24 (Shaktar Donestk, Ukraine)
Olanrewaju Kayode was the big star of Austrian Bundesliga last season, scoring 24 goals in 48 appearances for Austria Wein.
But he hit a bad patch this season when he signed for Manchester City and was shipped out on loan to Girona where he could only manage two assists in 13 appearances.

Gernot Rohr is believed to be an admirer of the 24-year-old, whose performances for Austria Wein last season earned him a call-up to the national side for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa.

Kayode is a clinical finisher who has good pace and strength to keep opposing defenders busy for the entire duration of a game which Odion Ighalo currently lacks. He broke his deadlock for Shakhtar Donestk last weekend on his debut against Zorya Luhansk and he will be hoping to make it two goals in two appearances this weekend.
The former Maccabi Netanya of Israel star could prove to be the joker for the Super Eagles if considered for selection for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Fanendo Adi, 27 (Portland Timbers, USA)
One of Fanendo Adi’s biggest assets is his ability to overpower defenders wherein he gets most of his goals from. The Super Eagles need a striker who can bully his way through the tightest defence. Adi’s big size is also another quality which equally makes him a big threat in set pieces.
The 27-year-old striker scored 12 goals last season in 25 games but since returning from a long-term injury this season he is yet to get off the mark.

Paul Onuachu, 23 (Midtjylland, Denmark)
Big, tall Paul Onuachu was in electric form this season for Midtjylland and he has been ranked among the best strikers in the Danish League, scoring 16 goals in 25 games. His development since he became the focal point of Midtjylland’s attack has been remarkable.

Onuachu, just like other strikers listed, will certainly bring something a bit different to the Super Eagles attack as few players in the team can match him for pace at the moment in the squad.
However the chances of being included in the squad are slim as he is still recuperating from an injury that has kept him out of action since February.

Brown Ideye, 30 (Malaga,Spain)
The most experienced striker from this list is Brown Ideye. The 30-year-old striker has played in seven different leagues (Switzerland, France Ukraine, England, Greece, China and Spain) in his career abroad and has usually scored goals.
Having represented Nigeria in four major tournaments (the FIFA U20- World Cup in Canada, the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa and the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup), the Malaga forward is well aware of the pressure that comes with leading the line for the three-time African champions and having to justify it with goals.

Ideye could lead the attack well and also play as a second striker. He is strong in the air, brilliant at linking up play and is comfortable holding up play for his teammates to get into the game. He will be a great asset if he is considered.

Junior Lokosa, 24 (Kano Pillars, Nigeria)
The 24-year-old is a huge talent that has taken the Nigerian Professional Football League by storm, playing for Kano Pillars this season.

Lokosa joined Kano Pillars mid-way through last season after he severed ties with Nigerian National League side, First Bank and scored nine goals for the Sai Masu Gida.

It would to be a big call for Gernot Rohr to make for room Lokosa to be included in one of the international friendlies lined up for the Super Eagles but if he does take the risk, the German will be assessing a striker who has pace, dribbling skills, and finishing abilities that have seen him bag an impressive 14 goals in 14 games in the Nigerian Professional Football League for his side, Kano Pillars, this season.
Cyriel Dessers, 23 (FC Utrecht, Netherlands)
Belgian-born Nigerian striker Cyriel Dessers, who has already opted to play for the Super Eagles, could also be a good option in the striking role for Nigeria ahead of the World Cup in Russia.

The 23-year-old is pacy and strong on the ball. He is also blessed with great finishing skill and accurate shots. He is also a fearless forward who likes to tackle.
Dessers has been prolific in the past two seasons in the Netherlands and he is reportedly on the radar of the technical crew of the Super Eagles but it remains to be seen if the former Belgium U-21 striker’s can make a timely switch before the World Cup in Russia.

Dessers, whose mother is Nigerian, was a huge hit with Dutch club NAC Breda last season in the second division as he scored 29 goals and made 13 assists in 40 games as they won promotion back to the top league.

And so far in the Eredivise this season, the former Lokeren striker has bagged 11 goals in 31 games with five assists.

Dennis Bonaventure, 20 (Club Brugge, Belgium)
With 12 goals in 32 appearances for Club Brugge in the Belgian top flight, Dennis Bonaventure is another player who has the quality to compete for a place in the Super Eagles attack. Bonaventure is a deadly finisher with a brilliant first touch, great passing ability and decent dribbling skills.

He also possesses good quality and strength in holding up play that him a dangerous player in the final third. He is regarded as a predator in the penalty area. Dennis can also play on the wing but is a genuine striker, who loves to play in the box.

You guys re quick to take a gibe at man city,but sorry they are dominating the premier league and i can bet you that they will win the premier league next season.

Now since you say nobody can dominate England,why cant england dominate Europe? seems you said premier league team are the best I guess England has been dominating Europe for the past 6 years and not spain.

Now which league has the highest number of team in the quarter final? Barcelona Sevilla Madrid? But that does not matter anyway.

And i am not bad belle i am telling you what is right,England are not the best and you know it.

Now you are the bad belle always calling for irrelevant players to be invited to the super eagles,the prove is here on this thread

The moment l read this news i knew it was agent fighting another agent. Tony Harris wont be unconnected to this rumour because of his failure to impose his players on Rohr d way he did with Keshi, hence he believed that any other agent that is favoured must have played d corrupt game he used to play.

However, we must monitor all the players that are indicted in this rumour and cry out against any of them that does not merit a call up.

Rohr Forcing Nigerian Players To Sign Contracts For World Cup Spots, DW Sports Agency Breaches Fifa Rule

Rohr Forcing Nigerian Players To Sign Contracts For World Cup Spots, DW Sports Agency Breaches Fifa Rule
Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr may be involved in some underhand dealings that will jeopardize the chances of the national team performing well at the 2018 World Cup.

The German is imitating Nigeria 1994 World Cup coach Clemens Westerhof, who forced Emmanuel Amuneke to sign for Duisburg and coerced Daniel Amokachi to join Club Brugge over Anderlecht who were also interested in his services.

There are rumours that Rohr has joined forces with DW Sports Management to force Super Eagles players to sign representative agreements with the French-based agency or be omitted from the roster for the World Cup.

It is confirmed that Rohr visited Ahmed Musa and Moses Simon in Russia and Belgium respectively and few months later the two wingers joined the stable of DW Sports Management.

This website can confirm one hundred percent that the Gent winger was financially induced by DW Sports Management before he penned the representation contract and will pocket a percentage of the commission if he joins a new club after leaving Belgium and this is a breach of Fifa's rules banning third parties from influencing the transfer of players.

Bursaspor defender William Troost-Ekong was also approached to join DW Sports Management but he refused their overtures despite Rohr surprisingly handing him the captain's armband against Poland last month in a pre-World Cup friendly.

DW Sports Management also handles the affairs of Henry Onyekuru, Mikel Agu, Oghenekaro Etebo, Brian Idowu and Abdullahi Shehu, bringing the total number of World Cup bound players they manage to seven and counting.

English-based agent Tony Harris influenced the naming of Reuben Gabriel, Michael Uchebo, Ahmed Musa and Uche Nwofor in Nigeria's 2014 World Cup squad and the national team lacked a quality bench in the mundial, they struggled to qualify for the last sixteen before they were eliminated.

In the light of the foregoing, Rohr and DW Sports Management's antics will affect the Super Eagles performance in Russia if they are not cautioned by the Nigerian Federation.

I can't believe what I saw today?

I saw a young man put on our world cup jersey. I thought it was said it won't be on sale earlier than June.

Has Nike rescinded on their decision to wait till our last friendly match against the 3lions?

Celta Vigo Linked With Move For Huddersfield Town Nigerian Midfielder

Published: April 11, 2018

Huddersfield Town's Denmark U21 international of Nigerian descent Philip Billing is attracting interest from Spanish outfit Celta Vigo ahead of the opening of the summer transfer, according to reports.
Onda Deportiva Galicia Sur says the sporting director of Celta Vigo, Felipe Miñambres, is interested in signing the central midfielder.

The 21-year-old Billing has 18 first-team games under his belt for the Terriers this season, having recovered from an ankle injury that kept him on the sidelines for three months, from November 2017 to January 2018.

He penned a contract extension in August 2017, tying him to Huddersfield Town until June 2020, with the club having an option on a further year’s extension.

Billing joined Huddersfield Town from Esbjerg in 2013 following a successful trial and rose through the ranks before making his competitive debut against Leicester City in April 2014.

He has played four games for Denmark's U21 side and remains eligible to represent the Super Eagles.

This is where England's FA have scored an own goal against themselves. All Francophone African countries have free unhindered ride literally to the French league.

But former British colonies have a wall of discrimination and restrictions preventing them from coming in.

Yet we have the charade called the common wealth.

Anybody who has done business and more so governance business in Nigeria will not dismiss these allegations.

Has anybody bothered to wonder why Rohr has survived a decade in African football. He understands the way things are done here.

I haven't forgotten Glen Huddle disclosures on the NFF. A leopard never changes its spots and more so a hungry and glutinous one.
Rohr is not a "hungry" coach. DONT FORGET CYRIL DESSERS!!!!!

Only a JJC in Nigeria will dismiss these allegations off the hand. Recall how Emeka Ezeala and Berti Vogts ran things back in 08.
Hopefully, we get to know the real truth behind all the allegations but I wouldn't be surprised if the allegations were true because almost every expatriate coach in Africa get involved in one way or the other with human trafficking player agency.
