Oboabona, chop knuckles! Winger, even when you are trophyless for ages, you still claim relevance, you are no better than West Brom(trophyless club like you) that signed Osaze without telling him to come and play on trials. Mind you Osaze no win AFCON that time o. 3 Likes |

If the story is true thank God he stood his ground.Arsene Wenger in the past has invited many Nigerians for trials and end up dumping them.A good example is one time Super Eagles mercurial winger invitee Ishola Shuaibu of Julius Berger and some other players i.e Jerefe a Defender who was playing for a club in Singapore.And if you look at the Arsenal team critically i don't see any first team player that went for trials before being signed so the dude made a salient rebuff of the invitation for trials.. 3 Likes |

God bless u Obaobona, may u live and shine for a very long time, Ur future will not be cut short by one trophyless club. Come to think of it? Who needs TRIAL btw Obaobona and wenger?

My take on this is that Godfrey Obuabona would have gladly accepted the trial invitation before the Nation cup however with his performance at the Nations cup and confederations cup he feels he should walk straight into the starting eleven of any team. Both parties are absolutely correct, football is big business Arsenal would like to assess him in close range before any attempt to sign him as alot of factors are invoilve he has never play pro abroad so he has no pedigree outside Africa and would be a big gamble to sign him on. While on the other side Godferey has improve drastically over the last 24 months but he is still very raw i noticed he still plays 'police ball' at the national team level he might be strong and have a bit of awareness but he lacks technique which is a result of the terrible coaching he has had in the Nigerian Premier League. My take is he should look for a team in Norway/Switzerland/Turkey/France(?) where he can be guaranteed first team football as alot of the central European teams will want to see him excel somewhere in Europe before attempting to sign him which will be like he is on trial as well but this time indirectly. Best of luck to the Nigerian '22 year old'! |

ayusco: @kgdavid decent points u raised but the fact of the matter is that oboabona is a full international playing for a recognised footballing nation and as such deserves respectwhich clowns as arsenal bought in the past and which player as moved from nigeria premier league directly to top league?

A major attitude drawing Nigeria back is that we overrate ourselves during (if any) self assessment. Godfrey would do well to acknowledge his mistakes and work on improving himself instead of making unfounded boasts. Nigeria has won just 3 ACN, the most recent one coming after about ten tournaments. We cheat in age grade competitions so our success there don't really count. Nigeria is NOT a great footballing nation. He shouldn't compare himself to Neymar, who plays under better coaches and stiffer opposition, trains under better conditions etc. Tournaments are not always a honest Assesment of a players ability. It's usually just 6-7 games at most and your success could have more to do with luck than ability. Arsenal needs a performer over atleast 40 games in a season. Remember Greece at the 2004 Euros. 6 Likes |

I'm proud of this guy.Those white managers think its every Nigerian player that makes transfer with beggerly mentality.If thinks the guy is good, he should sign him.Any good coach should be able to rate him after those sterling performances he showed at AFCON AND the Confederation cup. Wenger is not yet ready. 2 Likes |

Adufaye: Dey wan check u fr trials weda,u really lie 4 ya age!I totally disagree with your comment.Most African players are treated like poo in Europe,aside age cheats common in Africa,the amount African players are purchased is highly disgusting.I think Oboabona made a good point.He knows his worth,experience,technicality etc,the reason is bold to attack Arsenal.How many players of African heritage could respond like this.No worry my guy,be good at what you do and every soon,a better and trophy-driven clubs like Barcelona,Bayern,Real Madrid,Manchester Utd and Chelsea will come knocking. 1 Like |

chronique: The Nigerian players that went on trials at Arsenal and were finally not signed by wenger,where are they today? Isn't that a pointer that they weren't just good enough?Bro i don't know when you started watching football but if you had watched Ishola Shuaibu play you will know Wenger made a wrong decision then.This is far back 2000.The Player in question was in his prime then though he is retired now from Football.Lastly go do your research properly Arsene Wenger rarely sign people through trials.They already have a rich Feeders team to go select from so going for trials in actual sense is a mere futility in Arsenal and players and scouts know this. |
