Rohr To Step Up Search For New Goalkeeper : Young Uzoho Not A Top GK At The Moment Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has said that he will step up his search for a goalkeeper to bolster the side ahead of next year's Africa Cup of Nations. Goalkeepers have been likened to wine and get better and better with age; the German noted that Elche netminder Francis Uzoho is not up there with the best because of his age. Of the 72 goalkeepers named on the rosters for the 2018 World Cup, Uzoho was the youngest at nineteen and only celebrated his 20th birthday last month. ''The goalkeeper is very young and still improving. He’s just 19, you can’t be at the top especially in that position, when you are only 19,'' Rohr told Sports Editors at a media parley in Lagos. In other departments, Rohr is on the lookout for new defenders, midfielders and strikers ahead of the tournament in Cameroon. ''In the defence also, Balogun is not playing in his club, it’s a problem. He was not really fit in South Africa, but I hope he will play much more now. We have to search for solutions in the defence. We’ve found a solution in the left-back. We found this player in Germany (Jamilu Collins) giving us this satisfaction. ''Now we have to also watch the midfield again because some players can be injured or suspended like it happened in South Africa. We saw John Ogu, he did very well, he’s experienced and powerful. ''We have the young (Oghenekaro) Etebo playing in Stoke but he has to improve. We saw again Mikel Agu, who did well in Asaba and we are still searching for other opportunities in this department. ''Also, our strikers, we saw Ighalo’s comeback, which made us happy but we have to search.'' The Super Eagles will return to action in March 2019 when they tackle Seychelles in a dead rubber Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. |

guy i think you are abit unfair to KC. has he progressed as well as i would have wanted? no of course not but saying he's a poor footballer is insulting to the boys talent and potential. his performances during his early days at man city is enough to still trust he will find his mojo back.his crisis of confidence is nothing usual which young players go through every now and then. even as poor as he has been this season he has been involved in alot of leicester city goals. just this past weekend he won a penalty for his team who were down to ten men. i will criticize and call it like it is when kc doesn't perform but i refuse to label him a poor player when he has shown he can do better Curtisaxel7: 7 Likes 1 Share |

junnyjake: Firstly, you have chosen to be completely ignorant of the specific time lines. I am not sure why, maybe to mislead ![]() From 2012/13 until 2017/18 season Iorfa has been playing non stop in the Championship. So what do you mean by 3/4 years ago. Is that not misrepresentation and deception ![]() I gave multiple example tied to time lines. There are two major time lines here. Which you failed to mention. NFF called on him when he was well under U21 he explained very clearly he could not commit. Why ❓ long term contractual obligation not confirmed with club, two he was already involved deeply with England U21, three he had Arsenal, West ham and Southampton to mention a few - https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2016/06/06/report-wolves-dominic-iorfa-prefers-a-move-to-west-ham/ Four, he was being courted by England first team. As you should know all these components add market value to your profile and you use them as leverage to get the best contract you can. He was open, honest and transparent. So to avoid negative English media speculation he said he will commit when he is 23. He was playing the game as you do but to Nigeria's favour. Once his long term future was settled Wolves refused to sell him to all the EPL clubs. Assured him very strongly he had a bright future at Wolves, there was no reason to doubt. He had already played over 70 first team games, confirmed first team regular, he therefore signed with Wolves. Early 2017 he was 21 years old, he broke commitment to England and made commitment to NFF. Rohr came to see him he was hot property. That discussion did not materialise in a call up despite assurances. Why ❓ ask Rohr or the NFF. Unfortunately quite shockingly unexpected Mendes in 3017 took over the club brought in Nuno and EVERYTHING CHANGED. The business model excluded Dominic not his football. The 2018 /19 first time in his career he has not played first team football. He is still a Wolves player, l doubt they will let him play because it will upset the business model, if he plays too well. Just like Sakho he remains active playing U23 where he has been outstanding but still ignored. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dominic-iorfa-sends-message-nuno-15196162 We have had players not making the bench but still invited to the SE. So where is the double standard and who is being bigoted. You avoid the historical factual actions that have brought us to this stage. You avoid facts and hold on too sentimental straws. Should he be invited now ![]() When Costa didn't play for Chelsea for how many months because of dispute with the Manager, did Spain forget him question ❓ ❓ ❓ Who is showing double hypocrite bigoted standard |

Manchester City midfield prospect Ayotomiwa Dele-Bashiru popularly called Tom Dele-Bashiru has snubbed the chance to continue his international career by pledging his allegiance to Nigeria. Dele-Bashiru represented England at U16 level in 2014 but he has now decided to pledge his international future to Nigeria, the country where his father hailed from, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal. He was invited to be a part of the Nigeria U20 team for the WAFU Championship in Benin Republic but Man City via a mail to the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) stopped him from honouring the invitation due to club commitments. The six feet tall midfielder made his professional debut for Manchester City in 2017 in their EFL Cup game against Leicester City when he replaced Phil Foden shortly before the game dragged into extra time. This season the 19 year old has made nine appearances for the U23s of the club in the Premier League 2 Division 1 and so far he has one assist to his name. He has also represented the U23s in the EFL Trophy as well as the UEFA Youth League. His younger brother 17 year old Fisayo Dele-Bashiru who is also a midfielder plays for the U18s of same club and he has played in eight games in the U18 Premier League. |

Villarreal's Samuel Chukwueze: "I did not expect to play so soon" By Football Espana staff Villarreal forward Samuel Chukwueze has admitted his surprise at his fast rise to prominence after netting in each of his last La Liga appearances. The Nigerian netted in Sunday’s victory over Real Betis after scoring in the previous draw at Rayo Vallecano – making it three goals in just five starts in all competitions. “It has been an impressive month for me,” Chukwueze is cited as telling reporters by Plaza Deportiva. “I did not expect to play so soon with the first team but I do not feel pressure or particularly significance, I am only thinking about working hard and continuing to improve. “It is important to make sure the Coach retains his trust and confidence in me but it is exciting to be playing and doing things that are right. “Barcelona next week? It is a game that we can win and that is what we are focused on now.” https://www.football-espana.net/75708/villarreals-samuel-chukwueze-i-did-not-expect-play-so-soon 7 Likes |

Y’all notice komekn haven’t post any comment on Chukwueze after the match against Uganda and Real Betis? This is because he is starting to actually believe in the hype or talent of Chukwueze, or perhap, he is patiently waiting for him to have a bad game, then use it to downgrade his talent. My guy go wait tire Cos ”robbenchukwu” gonna keep soaring high just for one reason... “ he enjoy playing the beautiful game just like Ronaldinho”. Note: for those that have comprehension problem, i ain’t comparing robbenchukwu to Ronaldinho oo, I only said he enjoy playing the game of football just like Ronaldinho due to his artistry body movement which align with the wind. 4 Likes |

Osimhen says Charleroi loan has restored his confidence By Oluwashina Okeleji Football Writer, Johannesburg Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen has revealed how moving on-loan to Belgian club Charleroi has helped restore his confidence. Since arriving in the Jupiler Pro League from German side Wolfsburg in August, the 19-year-old has scored seven goals in 12 games for the club. His impressive form earned him a recall to the Super Eagles squad for this month's 2019 Nations Cup qualifier against South Africa and he started in Tuesday's 0-0 friendly draw against Uganda in Asaba. "My confidence level was very low at some point and what going out on loan to Charleroi has done for me is unexplainable," Osimhen told BBC Sport. "It was tough in Germany because of the high expectations - some people started doubting me and also pushed me to start doubting myself as well. "The football in Belgium has helped, I also have a wonderful group of players around me and the coaching crew have been great with me. "As a young player, you hear people comparing you to other stars who emerged from the under-17 World Cup and never fulfilled their potential. "But now at Charleroi I have comfortably found my happiness again, and I thank everyone in Belgium and at Wolfsburg for the opportunity and support." Osimhen was the top scorer as Nigeria clinched a fifth Under-17 World Cup title in 2015 with 10 goals in Chile, which saw him win the Golden Boot and Silver Ball. After the tournament he decided against joining English side Arsenal, to sign with the 2009 German champions Wolfsburg in January 2016, but injuries restricted him to 16 appearances for the club in all competitions. Despite being a part of the squad for two years, his lack of games meant he missed out on going to the 2018 World Cup with Nigeria. "I am still young and I think it wasn't meant to be, but I can still look forward to the future," he added. "I thank coach [Gernot] Rohr for the opportunity to return to the squad and I hope to keep working hard to stay in his plans." His 10 goals at the U-17 World Cup eclipsed the previous best of nine set by Ivorian Souleymane Coulibaly in 2011 and Florent Sinama Pongolle of France in 2001. Osimhen was also part of the Nigeria side that won the Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations in Senegal in November 2015, which also qualified them for the 2016 Rio Olympics. His exploits saw him crowned the 2015 Confederation of African Football (Caf) Youth Player of the Year . He has played for Nigeria at all levels, from under-17 to the full senior side, for whom he has won three caps. Copyright © 2018 BBC. |

sontoly: I feel Mikel Obi would have fared better at Manchester United because Alex Ferguson had a clear plan for him. He was to become the support of Paul Scholes and would have played in a pattern that suited him with respect of completing simple passes. Keep in mind, the early moulding of Mikel was done by Alex Ferguson who made a midfield passing genius who shone like a million stars at the U20. I think Mikel remains one of the top failures of Alex Ferguson because he so believed in Mikel's talent, yet failed to sign him. Mikel Obi was to become the new Roy Keane and he would have excelled in that role especially, if you watched how Guus Hiddink used him. He finally got Michael Carrick to fulfill that dream but knew in his heart Mikel was the perfect fit for the role. |

Earthquake2: Aguero, Gabriel Jesus are not your regular number nines but more of false nines. Nacho would have fitted in perfectly when he gets his chances like he did on repeated occasions when Guardiola gave him playing time. It must not be support striking. The likes of Lacazette, Aubameyang, Ciro Immobile, Suarez etc. I wonder why people are so cut up with the support striking role. |

Icon4s: You never believed Nacho was even capable of pulling the stats he did at City. You did not even believe he had the ability to do what he did. Nacho was never overhyped. He did it. Pulled stats that was among the best in the game. Broke EPL records. How due to negative systems, the story has changed to overhyped, beats my imagination. Mikel even had it worse than Nacho. He was utilised wrongly for club and country. Mikel became the image of a national joke. Some said the same, he was overhyped and we expected too much from him. Very few knew the star was shining bright in him and with the right platform he would blossom.

Another Mikel Obi Diss. Which shows how bad it was. Nacho is even having a good time. But in the end, Mikel suffered because of a poor system and when he was played in better systems, he was unbelievable.
