Fifa Stops Emenike Playing For Turkey by 12large1: 11:19pm On Dec 08, 2010
The rules of the governing body of football, FIFA, has barred the Nigerian striking phenomenon Emmanuel Emenike for playing for the national team of Turkey, at least for the next three years.

The rules and regulations of FIFA are clear on this. FIFA states that a player must have continuous residence in the country he wants to switch allegiance to for five years.

The Karabukspor striker has spent only two years in Turkey, so he must wait an additional three years to achieve his 'dream' of playing for Turkey

Karabukspor reject Besiktas Eight Million Euros bid for EMENIKE

SOURCE


Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Besiktas have seen a proposal for the Nigerian striker, Emmanuel Emenike rejected by Karabükspor. At the beginning of the 2010 season, Beşiktaş strengthened their squad with two midfielders - Guti and Ricardo Quaresma.

In the winter market, the 13-time League Champions want to add to the squad by signing Emenike. The 23 year old former FC Cape Town striker has played beautiful football, and on top of that he is the joint top scorer in the Super Lig with 11 goals. Besiktas tabled the sum of eight million euros for Emenike, but the proposal by the Besiktas representative was reportedly returned.

CSKA Moscow, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor are also circling around the striker, ready to swoop.The president of Karabükspor has stated that he would love to have Emenike at least until the end of the season.


Having watched this goal and some of his other goals on youtube, I can now understand why Besiktas and some other clubs may want him.

Clearly, Equatorial Guinea flouted this rule of eligibility. It just recruited players from all over the world. . .Brazilians, Camerounians, Ivorians, Nigerians etc to play for their Female national team.

I hear their Male National team is towing the same path too and recruiting players from all over, especially little known Brazilians to play for them at the Gabon/Equatorial Guinea 2012 Nations cup that they'll be co-hosting.

God dey sha undecided
