This guy might not be that bad

AdisaOwala:


Ndidi Anumunu, Joetex Frimpong, Emeka Ezenwa, Ajibade Omolade ( Enyimba's Azpilicueta ), the late Romanus Orjinta etc.

I remember the 2004 2nd leg of the final in Cairo (Vs Ismaili) - Ezenwa (the lone striker) defended from the front for 90mins.

Like you rightly opined, Uzor Kalu's love for the club had no bounds that time - he was even willing to buy Ismaili's Dramane Traore (hottest CF in Africa then)

airmark:


Emeka ezenwa or emeka nwanna? That striker, with big head, his head is twice as big as dayo's. Frimpong used his frame to torment. Is orjinta dead? That big guy was a no nonsense defender. Nwaneri was also decent. Kadiri ikhana and emordi did a good job then. Ismaili would have needed bombs to win that cup. I think it was 2003. Those aba boys wanted to die that day, and they served those north africans their own medicine, breaking their tempo in dying minutes, feigning injuries. They cried that day. It was massive.

diggz:


Why you dey shine teeth for here? I hear say rashidi yekini and finidi George dey linked to your club

AdisaOwala:


Onyekachi Okonkwo etc are other names that come to mind. I think kachi moved to a club in the ABSA premier league later in his career.

diggz:
There is everything mentally wrong with whoever is signing players in cfc. How can we even break our record signing for a 26yr old almost 27yr old left back who may not guarantee us more than 4yrs of productive football?

He better wins us the champions league o....... if not,he will be joining the rest of the shady buys we have had to deal with as a club.

Diademk07:


Auba isn't that good on the wing. He's far better as a striker. I prefer Insigne out of the three.. His style is kind of similar to David Silva but a better scorer.

lordfalcao:
shebi if Sandro no come, Una go tell us conte wanted Sandro they gave him Echiejila ?

AdisaOwala:


1. Ekene Ezenwa, not Emeka - My bad. I doubt if Emeka Nwana played in the 2nd leg.

2. Orjinta died about 3 years ago.

3. You are right - that epic final was in 2003...not 2004.

4. Kadiri Ikhana's tactics were spot on & like you rightly said, those boys were ready to die on the pitch on that cold Friday in December.

Yusuf Mohamed, Onyekachi Okonkwo etc are other names that come to mind. I think kachi moved to a club in the ABSA premier league later in his career.

Uzor Kalu's passion for the club strong sotay him dey siddon for Bench with the technical crew atimes

The ginger level of Enyimba's supporters for Aba that year na another tori entirely

I always hear this mantra that poor administration is why African football is terrible. Do you believe this or it's just a case of we don't have the talents

raumdeuter:
In my lifetime African football has never had good administrators, South America does not have good administrators yet they still do relatively well

US and some European countries, have excellent administrators yet they dont do anything

Gragra football is not talent. Cerebral football is what I call talent, players like Kanu(my best Nigerian player) had it from the streets of Owerri without any administration which is why he was one of the most celebrated players from Nigeria

Right now, how many Nigerian players are regular first team players playing in any first division in the leagues in Italy, England, Germany Holland, Spain Italy

Around 1996 to 2002, Several of our players were playing REGULAR first team football in top clubs, Oliseh Dortmund, Kanu Arsenal, Taribo Inter, Finidi Betis, Babangida Ajax, Ikpeba Dortmund/Monaco, Babayaro Chelsea, Amuneke Barcelona, Okocha PSG, Akpoborie Stuttgart etc

Thats almost 11 players I named off the top of my head who were playing elite top level football, Was the administration good or better at that time?

That's why I just think administration is just a convenient excuse. I think we lack genuine talents. We only dominate age groups because we lie about ages.

Chrisantus, Haruna Lukman, Rabiu Ibrahim, all got good breaks after the U17 world club, they were picked up by European clubs they all failed. Stanley Okoro set too same thing It was the same type of tournament where Kanu, Babayaro, Oruma went from to Europe and excelled

Can we just be honest and admit we dont have genuine talents anymore. Maybe in the future we will get lucky again. And its not a terrible thing to admit

Brazil the home of football recently went though their own talent drought, Italy too is currently going through their own minor drought, Germany went through theirs

Reports suggest that Roman Abramovic could be set to sanction deals for four players, amounting to £240m.

The four players in question are Juventus' Alex Sandro, Southampton's Virgil Van Dijk, Monaco's Tiemoue Bakayoko [/b]
and Everton's Romelu Lukaku.

The story comes from English newspaper the 'Express', which claims that Monaco midfielder Bakayoko should sign for the club within the next 48 hours and that his signing will kick off the spending spree. Alex Sandro is expected to follow shortly after, with many sources claiming that deal could be done as early as this week.

[b] abeg, who be Lukaku abi Lukuluku?
Pls we don't need that guy in blues' jersey

that's how we lost Petr Cech to arsenal and lost Courtois to injury few weeks later, and we all know what happened there after
