That's why they are such strong favourites to win. I have also read this. I can also confirm this is correct information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox 4 Life Posted 25 December 2016 Share Posted 25 December 2016 If you just send me your credit card number and the 3 digits on the signature strip I will arrange some tickets for Nigeria's AFCON games. You may also be eligible for a FedEx wayfair credit of $5m but I will need to double check on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 26 December 2016 Share Posted 26 December 2016 Genk Fires Coach For Reportedly Protesting Wilfred Ndid Imminent Transfer To Leicester City Coach of Belgian Side Genk Peter Maes has reportedly lost his job at Belgian side Genk after a disagreement over Wilfred Ndidi transfer to English Champions Leicester City, Owngoalnigeria.com understands. Ndidi will still as expected move to Leicester City for a fee in the region of £15m when the transfer window opens in January but his imminent departure appears to have triggered a disagreement in the team, that has claimed coach Maes. Maes was promised by the management of the team that Ndidi will remained at the club till the summer before joining Leicester City but was disappointed when he later discovered that the 19 year old will join “The Foxes” on the 1st of January. Although the club have moved swiftly to replace the Nigerian, Maes felt broken by the club’s decision and that fractured his relationship with the club management which eventually lead to his sack. However the club played down the row as the reason behind his departure citing their poor run of form in the league as the reason why he was axed less than 24 hours to their cup game against KV Oostende.

dpjfox Posted 27 December 2016 Share Posted 27 December 2016 Supposedly his last game for Genk today, hopefully comes through injury free, id imagine his first available game will be FA Cup v Everton, although Kapuska signed and same day was on bench v Barca pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
