Re: Iheanacho and Uzoho gained from this transfer window

Uzoho - Romania’s International goalkeeper Costel Pantamillion moves to Nottingham Forest on loan Kelechi Iheanacho - Ulloa moved to Brighton, Slimani moved to Newcastle and Mahrez is unlikely to be at his best after his recent ordeal Both of them look like they may get a lot more playing time over...

Re: Competition for the Super Eagles, 5 CMFs slots for WC201

I know many here like him but I think it is a bit tricky for Etebo. He, Omeruo and Musa may be the shocking omissions.

Re: CHAN Eagles - Final list

These LCs are a joke. Only 4 midfielders. :lol: bret-hart, Are you criticizing the way the players are listed or are you criticizing the number of players selected for the position? If it is the latter, then you are incorrect. There are no less than 7 players on that list who actually play in the m...

Re: Hyped Falcons Coach Signs Elsewhere....

So there is no Nigerian qualified to coach female soccer? What about the female league, is it still functional? Our football administrators should elect a female side of the organization, and let them run their own show. I bet, the chances are, the Falcons could win the female world cup before the ...

Re: Agents at Work; Klinsmann on Fanendo Adi

In as much as I agree that agents are at work, he is actually a good option to be considered. It is obvious Rohr is looking for a target man and he is different from all the strikers we have at the moment.

Re: But we don field some jacked up players for SE o.

Rabiu Afolabi was a really good center back. We should not judge him based on the 2010 world cup. He shouldn't have been there tbh. He was past his prime at that point. It's like calling Rufai a jacked up player based on France 98.

No need at all. Yes they must chop but isn't there any form of decency and professionalism in Nigerian journalism anymore? If they reported this before a deal was agreed it would make more sense.
