Where is Sunday faleye ? Why is he not in the u20 set up ? That how they will be dissapearing after playing one tournament

andrew444:
Marius Mouandilmadji of cotonsport of cameroun joined fc porto without trials but what about nigerian league?

I think i will agree with chriskels

Hahahahaha my boy when we see evil, make we call am evil. Our league isn't measuring up.

U beat me to that news sha

The most interesting thing is that this guy scored only 18 goals last season for Cotonsport. Our Lokosa I guess, scored more. Did u know if Lokosa had scored those goals for any league in west Africa but the NPFL, he would have gotten a better deal in Europe. Dude is talented but the league(the NPFL) he plays for, is his bane.

BascoVanVeli:


So was Victor.

Ok na.

tbaba1234:


See what i told you.

Kelechi Nwakali to Porto B

Waste of time..

Hmmm! So it was not Porto first team. How will he make the national team or work permit playing in Porto B?

ChrisKels:


Just check out 18 year old Hamdi Akujobi of Heerenveen and his 18 year old mates at the Nigerian U20s. That guy, second from Hamdi's right with a back pack can't be anything less than 30 years.

The fair guy na ogbologbo. He's very old.

tbaba1234:


Gata graduated from Kwara Poly in 2014.. 4 years ago

Did he graduate at 15 years?

It's impossible.

tbaba1234:
Africa's loss, France gain.

Sir Komekn, over to you.

tbaba1234:
Nigeria under 20 men

How can these players be claiming 18? Mtcheeew!

Dt gata guy won't b less dan 30years

tbaba1234:


Ideye was shut out because he was inactive. We should move on from the likes of Ideye and Ighalo now. Give opportunities to the upcoming talents.

We probably need to have a clear cut definition of what define as up and coming talent.

I am skeptical about the general presumptions of what we call up and coming talent on this forum.

76% of English academy football player end up not playing professional football. I gave you the example of John Coffy, bought at 16 for £1 million by Manchester United. He played in the Finals of the FA youth cup with Pogba but he is now playing non league.

What I am saying is that Youth football is only indicative. Playing a couple senior games in your club is only indicative not conclusive.

If at 21 you have not played 50 professional games and made your mark thats not progress. Players are getting opportunities at younger ages now.

I had no choice than to agree with you.

How can a player from cameroun league get good offers,while players like lokosa is going for trials in blugaria,oh my God common

gamaliel9:


I do not like this at all at all. Why that B team...OMG...THIS GUY THAT PLAYED NATIONAL TEAM...Personally this is not looking good...he should be exposed to top level football...he is our hope in creative midfield after Mikel Obi....He should start getting used to quality match atmosphere..gini bukwa nke a bikonu?

He is not a national hope more of a national hype.

Quality is not hidden when it is seen it gets highlighted, it gets rewarded and recognised.

This guy is playing second division in Dutch football add to that he is NOT THE OUTSTANDING player in that low level league. Which I place at lower than English league 2 or even lower.

Is that what you call national hope.

We need to look at players based on merit, continous consistent top Quality performance. Qualify those attributes in the context of the quality of the league they are playing in.

Otherwise we will keep over hyping players who have done nothing to merit a call to the SE.

BascoVanVeli:


You said people don't want to come to terms with the fact that we need to give Upcoming strikers opportunities. But u are the Poster-Oga of sticking with experience so how will that work?

It means you don't understand my view on this.

tbaba1234:


He was.. I saw the list.

I am not talking about the last game they played in the preseason. I am talking about official team list.

tbaba1234:


Awaziem is in Porto's first team.

He is not on Soccerway Porto's first team. I don't know if that is his true situation.

tbaba1234:


I got the info from a friend and someone from here confirmed the similar info from their social media page. I did not even know that they have not even adjusted their social media to reflect their claimed age.

Na wa for our people ooooooo.

This is the reason most European clubs don't want to by Nigerian players because of age cheat.

forgiveness:


The fair guy na ogbologbo. He's very old.

Lol so u too c am? I dont know what Aigbogun is thinking. Honestly, does our league lack talents that we can't get players with the right age unless we go down to search for them in d Academies? It is shameful

BascoVanVeli:


You are normally fair but your position here is biased. What is your idea of being a professional if 13 appearances with 3 starts amounts a youth player to you?
Burnley faced relegation 2 seasons ago. Leicester faced relegation a season prior to their dream run to the title. West ham faced relegation last season. Your point about relegation is invalid. The fact that he can even get playing time when peoples jobs are on the line should tell you something about his quality. Every coach talks him up. He scores the most goals in training. Wolfsburg sold Gomez in the middle of a drop battle and Origi fell behind Victor in the pecking order.

Wolfsburg is a shadow of its former self.

It doesn't have the big money for big money transfers that usually means opportunity for players who are on the fringe like Osimhen.

However, playing 13 games in two seasons is simply not good enough, it's in all honesty Abysmal. You said he scores the most goals in training then why is he not playing ❓ that really doesn't make sense.

You then say he is ahead of Origi which doesn't stand up to inspection. Origi played 34 games for Wolfsburg in one season and Osimhen played how many

If Gomez then leaves that should mean Osimhen should play a lot more games. But he didn't coming on the dying minutes to waist time in not a sign of recognition of outstanding talent.

Origi right now is on the radar of multiple clubs across Europe. A number of EPL clubs are trying to buy him.

How many clubs are interested in Osimhen how many clubs even know he exists.

I really don't think I am biased this just the cold hearted reality with no frills or hype.

Look at Rashford they lost do many players to injury in United. He got an opportunity and performed he was 18 now he is a full England international.

My advice is he should go on loan IMMEDIATELY otherwise his career will die before it has even started.

terzurum5:
What title do you suggest?

We can take off the "Russia 2018" and "Dawn of a New era".

andrew444:


But awaziem has played some couple of games for the Porto first team....About 10 games or so and he started all.

So Porto and galatasaray which is a bigger club?

I know but I am talking about this season squad.

Porto of course. In terms of trophies and UEFA ratings but Galatasaray is richer I guess.

andrew444:


Check the list,First team and Porto B and still tell me you cant find awaziem there.

You dey argue say awaziem no dey porto first team,yet he can boast of 10 starts for the first team

Well, my source is Soccerway. He is not there.

tbaba1234:
Marc Bola has joined Blackpool.

Good move he needs to prove his quality.

He has put all the Arsenal hype behind himself and is going to have to prove that he has quality.

ChrisKels:



Well I read thus last year


Arsenal Super Kid Bola Clarifies : I Am Not Eligible To Play For Nigeria



Arsenal superkid Marc Bola has clarified that he is not eligible to represent the Nigerian national teams, but can turn out for the Democratic Republic of Congo sides.

The left wing-back shares the same surname as England U18 star of Nigerian parentage Tolaji Bola, which led to the mix-up regarding his international eligibility.

''Marc Bola is not a Nigerian, he was born in London and can play for the England youth teams or the Democratic Republic of Congo,'' a top source close to the defender told allnigeriasoccer.com .

Marc Bola, 19, is being monitored by the Congolese Association Football Federation (FECOFA) and was called up to their U18 squad for a training camp in Birmingham two years ago but withdrew from the team as a result of injury.

Arsenal recently loaned out the defender to Bristol Rovers for the entirety of the 2017-2018 season.

See for yourself.

tbaba1234:


Example Wasiu Alalade that claims to be 18 is closer to 30, if not already in his 30s. Same with Adeshina Gata.

I really don't know much about the local scene in Nigeria.

But please tell me you are having a joke.

ChrisKels:


Lol so u too c am? I dont know what Aigbogun is thinking. Honestly, does our league lack talents that we can't get players with the right age unless we go down to search for them in d Academies? It is shameful

All those young talent hoping to go abroad avoid the NPFL like say na leprousy. They prefer to stay in academy to get a club abroad.

tbaba1234:


See what i told you.

Kelechi Nwakali to Porto B

Waste of time..

Is he playing for Porto B permanently

When I questioned his move with deep skepticism I was labelled a HATER.

He has effectively REGRESSED his career.

Leave senior football to go and play U23 that's sorry nonsense.

tbaba1234:


I do not expect Nwakali to move to a big club but he has a good enough profile to get him a good deal in the top flight of Belgium. portugal or even Holland again. Going to play Portuguese 2nd division does not really help him. He needs to be raising the level he is playing at to improve.

I disagree

Was he stand out player in the very lowly Dutch 2nd tier

Why then will go to the Belgium league which is much higher and have teams clamouring for him. You perform you get highlighted and promoted. That's how it works.

If you don't perform you get demoted.

That's why he has gone to Porto B. I don't think people know what goes in Portuguese football if they did they would not celebrate this regressive move.

goldfish80:

Football deals aren't one way traffic. You can only sign what is in front of you. He cannot do an Odemwigie and drive to any club he desired.

Odemwigie is not foolish and stupid what was pit in the media was far from the truth.

He was essentially hood winked by the club after giving him verbal official assurances. He then drove down and with in that one hour window gentleman agreements were broken.

Those involved know themselves, Osas couldn't say too much because there is no hard written evidence otherwise you face litigation for defamation.

charlesemeka85:
one big problem some of our fellow forumites and super eagles fans have is they fail to be realistic. how on earth will nwakali who couldnt command a shirt in a lowly vv venlo get a a chance in fc porto's first team? this kid with all the hype is unable to do anything tangible when it comes to club football since he left the shores of this continent and you all are expecting him to be a first team player of portugal's most successful team? he needs to start from the team B then if he distinguishes himself in the 2nd division porto may give him some playing time in the top division. some dey even they vex say him go play in the portuguese 2nd tier next season,you all should buy real madrid or manchester united then sign nwakali jnr and hand him the captain band. oyibo no be like us wey sentiment dey blind our sense of reasoning and judgement . if nwakali is good as being hyped here he will surely get a chance to prove his mettle in a top league one day or even porto will go all out to sign him permanently . his development should be the main thing now not signing for real madrid

Agreed without reservation or correction

komekn:


Agreed without reservation or correction

Y won't u agree...when its on d negative aspect although its d reality

ChrisKels:


Now thats the Doherty I have been telling u people about. He is the only legit Anglo Nigerian tasked with recruitment of talents from the UK, every other person bragging over here or else where is fake and shouldn't be taken seriously.

What a nonsensical proposition without an iota of substance what so ever.

Effectively he is the only person on the UK that has eyes to see talents of Nigerian origin. You simply have no idea. Complete Balderdash.

The NFF is a market place of deal and deal breaking on top the table and under it with Nigerian agents, local club officially others all in this somewhat organised chaos.

Do you know how many UK agents ate linked in to the NFF. Doherty who I don't know even complains about the entire set up as being corrupt and almost pointless.

So you don't make any sense.

Finally, what stops me from ringing Amaju and telling him of a player if I want too.

forgiveness:


Well, my source is Soccerway. He is not there.

He will not be on soccerway because he is on loan last season.

On soccerway rafinha is not also there because he played at inter last season,will you also call him a Barca B player because of that ?

O common you are more than this
