Because u have been clamoring for him to be invited.

Also because he is Moussa Dembele's cousin brother grin

Yes, I clamoured for him when he was doing well in the Eredivisie ahead of player in one obscure league you people were clamouring for.

What is problem?

Relegation of a club doesn't determine the quality of a player. He is in the French 2 division.

I hope Ola Aina works his ass off during the preseason tour with Chelsea. Our guys really need to step up their game and prove their worth. We can no longer tolerate mediocrity. This loan spell nonsense must end.
Our players are not just ambitious enough! Chelsea have a reputation of not giving youth a chance and these nigga omeruo somehow thinks he can break into the team, it’s time for a new experience for this guy, that’s why I love European players mindset, if it’s not working for you here move on!
Moses I feel needs to go to a club that would assure him of game time, Chelsea I feel just don’t value him enough, he looks like he’s gonna be behind the perking order behind hazard, willian, pedro. He can’t go back to being a squad player, he’s won two cups has a starter for the club he would get good offers.
Aina needs to be a starter at an EPL club, his performances in the championship deserves regularly game time at a mid table EPL team who have faith in youth. Huddersfield, Seagulls, wolves, Bournemouth these are teams he can have a good run of games he should forget sitting on the bench. Success with all his mistakes still has a shot at the watford team because he’s talented but most importantly they are patient with him. Our players need good agents!!!!!!

I'm sure you will find some Germans that accept them fully, just as you would find some Nigerians that would not accept them fully because they were not born in Nigeria. It's a people problem.

It is so sad to see what is happening with Ozil.

The western world does not really accept immigrants or children of immigrants from other parts of the world. When you win , you are German. When you lose, you are Turkish.

With all the achievements for Germany, it is so sad that he is treated like that. All these German-Nigerians waiting for German call-up, I hope, they can see that they might never be fully accepted no matter how german, they are.

and as both stared in the same league why is it that only one got noticed by better clubs from more decent leagues? brosif you like paint am say slavia prague is the best club in obscure leagues, your man olayinka goofed by joining them after having a good season in belgium last term cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

They didn't start in the same league though Olayinka came to the Belgium league before Onyekuru but due to long injury could not play for Gent and was sent on loan to another league.

It was that same season he was sent on loan to another league Onyekuru came to limelight and became a national team player. Olayinka just had his first season in the Belgium pro league last season while Onyekuru second season was last season. Different senerio.

How do you know better club in a decent league didn't come for him?

Although, I don't fancy his move to the Czech league but the same obscure leagues' champions goes straight into the UEFA Champions league group stage while their 2nd and 3rd best teams qualifies direct into the Uefa champions league 3rd round and the Europa group stage respectively. Unlike the Austrian league, Eredivise and Swiss league champions, Red Bull Leipzig, PSV, and Young Boys who must go through the 3rd round before they qualify to play in the Uefa champions league stage.

Not to talk of the Soctich champions Celtic who must go through the first, second, third rounds and the play off round before they qualify for the UEFA champions league group stage, and their 2nd and 3rd best teams Aberdeen and Rangers must go through the first round before they play in the Europa league.

Can you explain the reason this same obscure league is rated than those aforementioned world class leagues by UEFA?

Salvia Prague came second in the Czech league and they will play in the 3rd round qualifying of the Uefa champions league,so why are you lying ?

If na onyekuru go Czech you go insult am tire I trust you,anyway olayinka is a young boy and he can still move bigger.

There is nothing special about the Czech league,the champions of the Czech league has a Nigeria player named ubong ekpai he was bought from a mid table team and he will be playing in the champions league so no big deal for olayinka.

Keep on skipping my question

FC Porto move shows Kelechi Nwakali is not ready for Super Eagles

Solace Chukwu
Correspondent

The highly rated youngster is not yet close to taking the mantle of the national side, contrary to popular expectation

The day before, a mishmash of a Nigeria selection had drawn 2-2 with a largely reserve Atletico Madrid team. It was a curious game: low on quality, but decorated by some eye-catching goals, one of which flew in off the boot of youngster Kelechi Nwakali.

The question then with which Rohr was set upon centred on the exclusion, from his provisional World Cup squad, of the former Nigeria under-17 captain. If he was good enough to score a curler of such immaculate beauty, why was he not an option in a midfield that was struggling for creativity?
The reaction must have come as a bit of a surprise to the German coach. For one thing, and as he rightly pointed out, an end-of-season friendly against a side that had endured a gruelling run to the Europa League final, and therefore had understandably opted to give some of their kids and fringe players a run was hardly the proper measure for anyone's readiness for a World Cup.


Secondly, and perhaps more pertinently, there was nothing to suggest, from the season the 20-year-old had had at club level in the Netherlands, that he deserved a look-in at all.

Two months on, the 2015 Under-17 Golden Ball winner is set to begin another loan from parent club Arsenal, this time in the Portuguese second division with FC Porto's B team. Perhaps this shows that Rohr was right after all?
Nwakali is a player of whom a lot seems to be expected.

This weight of expectation hangs with even more urgency and heft due to the imminent winding-down of national team captain and talisman John Obi Mikel. For most, the same sauntering swagger and daring with which the Super Eagles captain emerged into the public eye is visible in Nwakali.
As such, this transfer window, perhaps more than any other, was a crucial juncture for the young midfielder.


The decision to join Porto and play for the reserve side, therefore, has led to a great deal of exasperation, especially with the inability of his representatives, Stellar Football Ltd., to get a better deal for a player of his talents.
However, what if the answer is a lot simpler, and the problem is not with his agents, but with the estimation of his abilities back home?
Perhaps the correct answer is the simplest one: Nwakali is just not as good as we like to believe he is.
Getting hung up on players based on performances at youth level and in one-off matches is nothing new. Mikel himself was a victim of this for so long with the national side, and should perhaps have served as a cautionary tale for how players can sometimes grow away from the blinding light of expectation.

Perhaps the player will impress so much in the second tier that Porto exercise their option to make the deal permanent, but, by Nwakali's own admission, he will need to develop a lot more in order to be the player he can become.
"My main goal is to develop and evolve as a player," he admitted in an interview with Porto's official website. “Improve my qualities and the other aspects that I know I need to correct to help me grow in the way I play."

In there lies the kernel of a truth that has escaped so many: there is a streak of showiness and superfluity to his play at times which, while he idolizes Porto legend Deco, is more reminiscent of the earlier play of France's Paul Pogba.
It might have thrilled the teeming crowd at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo, but it was much less impressive for Eredivisie side VVV-Venlo, for whom Nwakali played less than 300 minutes across the first half of last season, before being sent to the second tier.

He had a much better time of it with MVV Maastricht, scoring four times and assisting once in the second half of the season. However, three of his four only came against the league's bottom five.

Still only 20, there is plenty of time for Nwakali to grow and force his way into the mainstream. There is some frustration that he is not quite the prodigy most expected, but that does not preclude him growing into a very good footballer.
Perhaps the lesson here is that we ought not to expect too much.

Hmmm! Porto team B? And he is dreaming of playing for the National team regularly from a second division.

Owngoalnigeria.com has exclusively gathered from Enyimba FC of Aba that their left full back Ikouwem Udoh who is the captain of the Nigeria national Under-20 team is studying an offer from Belgium side Club Brugge.

Udoh made his first team bow for Enyimba last season and the 19 year old moved a step higher when he made the Nigerian team to the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Morocco, and proved himself.

He started the tournament as second choice left back with coach Salisu Yusuf preferring Daniel James to him but he seized his chance when injury ruled James out of the remaining games of the tournament, where Nigeria finished as runners up.

Presently the captain of the Nigeria U20 team who are through to the next African Youth Championship, a club source at Enyimba revealed that they are studying a contract proposal from Club Brugge.

” It’s a five year deal which we feel is good for the boy and his career growth, and even though some other clubs have contacted us over him. Club Brugge are the only club with a formal bid for him”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

” We are satisfied with what they are offering in terms of transfer fee but his wages is a concern to us as a team. We have to make sure his interest is also protected. Talks are progressing nicely anyway”, he concluded.

Italian Serie A side Lazio have step up their interest in lanky Nigerian forward Simy Nwankwo who is currently on the books of relegated Serie A side Crotone.

Owngoalnigeria.com gathered from various news outlet in Italy that Lazio have already mandated former Super Eagles striker Stephen Ayodele Makinwa who now works as a player agent to push through the move.

Lazio according to the reports monitored by our editorial team are willing to pay as high as €10m for his transfer but Crotone are hanging on to see if they will be reinstated in the Serie A before deciding on his potential sale.

Simy ended last season on a high with five goals in the final seven games of the season but it was still not enough to help his team remain in the Italian top flight, but they could be reinstated with the positions of Parma and Chievo under threat for different offences.

Both clubs have been subject of separate investigations with Parma accused of attempted match fixing for a game against La Spezia in Serie B last season, while Chievo face punishment for falsely accounting the transfers of 30 players with Cesena.

DONT MISS ==> Exclusive - Pictures Of NPFL Top Scorer Odey In Trial Game For Midtjylland
Italian FA’s (FIGC) sports tribunal suggested punishments which would eventually see them relegated if found guilty. If that happens then Crotone would likely be reinstated to the top flight.

If the Czech's league teams performance is nothing to write home about in comparison with the Swiss league, Scottish league and the Austrian league teams, why did UEFA send the Czech's champion to the UEFA champions league group stage direct while those aforementioned league's champions most go through series of qualifications round of play before they play in the UEFA champions league?
