Kanu suggests drastic alternative to January AFCON schedule


Nigeria legend Nwankwo Kanu has suggested a drastic solution to the Confederation of African Football's scheduling problem around the Africa Cup of Nations.

CAF acceded to a request by Cameroon's local organising committee last month to stage the 2021 tournament in January. This comes just one edition after it was played in June-July for the first time last year in sweltering Egypt.

CAF's decision was roundly criticized in Europe, with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp describing it as "a catastrophe" for the Reds.

"I couldn't respect [the competition] more than I do," Klopp said when the schedule change was announced.

"But it is an obvious problem to play a tournament midway in a season. For us it's a catastrophe.

"If we say [a player] can't go, he's suspended. How can the club who pay his salary not decide? If he's injured and we say he cannot play for us, we have to send him to Africa, so they can have a look."

Kanu, who represented Nigeria at four Afcon tournaments, agrees with Klopp, saying he would have preferred the competition to stay in June-July, in order to protect players from prospective club-versus-country disputes.

"If you ask any player, playing the Nations Cup in January leads to problems with the clubs," the former Arsenal striker told ESPN.

"Whenever the league is on, it is always difficult for clubs to release all these good players to come back to play for their country. Then you have these issues between the club and the country.

"Taking it back means the same thing is going to start again. They should have just left it the way it was so that clubs who want our best players will still go for them."

The former Super Eagles captain nevertheless acknowledged the unique weather conditions that necessitated the change.

-Colin Udoh: Afcon date change is best for African fans

"From a weather angle, it makes sense to play the Nations Cup in January so I think it is OK for them to move it."

No matter how understandable the rationale for the change, Kanu argues that the changed schedule is still bad for the players "because if a club is going to invest a lot of money on a player [who] will not be there for a whole month during the season, then they may want to look elsewhere to find a player who will be available".

"That makes it difficult for players who are looking for good moves."

Kanu suggested the timing of the tournament could be varied depending on the host country - providing at least a level of compromise that takes into account both the players' needs and the weather considerations.

"Maybe what they can do is play the Nations Cup at different times in the year," he suggested.

"So when it is hosted by countries in the north or south that don't have rainy season, they can play in the summer.

"And when it is hosted by countries where it rains, they can play it in January."

Ighalo to Man Utd Transfer update

Just in seconds ago:


From Fabrizio Romano-


Man United have reached an agreement with Odion Ighalo on personal terms and salary. Now Man Utd are in contact with Shanghai Shenhua to find an agreement - possible loan + buy option. But just 2.30 hours left before the window will be closed... time is key.

Haaland or Osimhen ??

In a few years time, we will know who is better.
Around 2016, Iheanacho was on the same level with Mbappe as a young budding talent..today he is trying to revive his career with Leicester while Mbappe is being tipped to win the Balon d'or soon.. Anything can happen in a short time .
Osimhen himself was struggling with injuries and whatnots at Wolfsburg a few years back,but see where he is now .

Make we wait and observe..
But both players look like they are on the right path for now.. Haaland rejecting a mega deal from a struggling Manure team shows that he is more focused on developing his game for now..while Osimhen is known to be humble,unlike some players of his age who think they have arrived .

Everybody has the right to choose who they think is better.. but we will see...

I don't do favoritism... either at club level or national team level..
And I don't judge players who are in the early stage of their careers... Not everyone of them end up reaching their full potential..

But if I were a coach and I was to chose between Haaland and Osimhen,it will depend on what philosophy my team employs grin ..if its Jurgen Klopp style,I'll pick Osimhen because of his work rate.. of it's Guardiola style,I'll pick Haaland because he is very prolific grin

'They Have Good Players And Are A Big Team' - Leicester's Ndidi Discusses Chelsea


Leicester City's midfield enforcer Wilfred Ndidi has admitted that their upcoming Premier League match against Chelsea will be tough because of the caliber of players in the ranks of the opponents.

The Super Eagle is in line to face off against international stars such as Jorginho, Ross Barkley, Mateo Kovačić and Mason Mount in midfield, while France World Cup winner N'Golo Kante could be selected by manager Frank Lampard if he recovers from injury.

Ndidi was once again at his best against West Ham after miraculously recovering from a meniscus operation and he believes that home advantage will be crucial in Saturday's meeting with The Blues.

"We’ve worked really hard to be where we are and the work is paying off,'' said Ndidi to Leicester's official webpage as he discussed the big game vs Chelsea.

"We don’t feel happy to just stay there though; we can’t relax because there are still so many points to get. We’ll keep working hard and taking each game as it comes. "

The Foxes number 25 continued : "It will be a difficult game for us, because they have good players and are a big team. But it’s about us. We’re at home so we have to do our best with the fans behind us."

In the race for the Champions League spots, Brendan Rodgers men are third in the table with 48 points, eight more than their next opponents Chelsea.

Zero goals for Norway by the way (but to be fair he has played just two games so far). Let the lad play ball... Una hype no make sense. Osimhen delivered in a league far higher than Austria... That was the Belgian league. Now he is delivering consistently in France.... Haaland was destroying Austria... Same Austria that Kayode destroyed oooo and even bagged MVP and top scorer. Lol

Abeg softly softly abeg... Una no dey make any sense. Haaland that I rate highly? Hahahahahaha... Abeg Allow Haaland to have his run in the bundesliga instead of measuring him up against a lad who has delivered and is delivering consistent goal scoring magic in higher leagues than Haaland bagged most of his goals at. Lol


I will ask you just one question..... And please answer me sincerely

You are the coach of lille, and you have both osimhen and Haaland in your team.

In a champions League game against let's say Liverpool or PSG, which of the strikers would you use? And why?
