joseph1013:

I will refrain from callin you dumb cos I'll be doing disservice to the word. So iran and Nigeria are mates? What football pedigree does Iran have compared to Nigeria? Are you sane? Are you sure you're not one of those Kenyans beefing Nigeria? Or maybe a Ghanian?
Are you saying that Ibra and Yaya went on trial at Arsenal after excelling at euro championship and afcon respectively? Was Tevez an Argentine regular when he went to West Ham? Did he OFFICIALLY go there for trials. It shows you know nothing about football.

Let Wenger not sign him now, and you'll see how clubs will be jostling for him after confederations' cup and world cup (cos we'll qualify).

Baffles me how some Nigerians belittle themselves. What is wrong in signin him straightaway for 1million euros? Is 1million euro a big gamble for a Nigerian super regular (one of the only two players to play all minutes of the matches at afcon)? A super regular in other countries is worth ten times that amount.

Im not surprised sha. I see all manner of kids on nairaland these days.

Well, recruitment follows different protocols.

Oboabona is rated by Wenger, hence the trial.

A trial doesn't mean he has been hired.

But scouts do not see him in action week in week out because of the logistics of doing so.

Loads of players even internationals have been to Arsenal and many European clubs for trials some have made it others haven't.

The one thing you can never accuse Wenger of is racism.

The boy is being given the time of his life now, the least you can do is be happy for him.

aminho: The player has endeared himself to the Arsenal faithful already by stating that the North-London is close to his heart: “Arsenal are my favourite club from childhood. It is the club I want to play for.”

oloriooko: wrong move for this guy, of all teams in EPL, he's trying out Arsenal that does not have the bite for winning and wenger will make sure he's paid peanuts.

the only advantage he has is that his professional carrier will jump on the fast lane of develoment.

Your reply is a civilized one, unlike the i.d.i.o.t talking trash using incorrect claims to make a point. As if he had me in mind before. Mtschew...
However,eventhough your response was civilized, your point is still a bit off.
You see, the best way to access a player is when he is pitched against tough opponents, and where else do you see that than in internationally competitive tournaments like afcon. You'll agree with me that he played very well against Drogba, Yaya, Gervinho, Keita, Pitropia etc.
You said that international players are taken up for trials? ok I dare you to name one player that played for a football-reknown country, is a super regular in that team, and has just won a major tournament that was called up for TRIAL. I bet you that you'll not be able to come up with even HALF player. Try it!
You said I should be happy for him? Well, it seems you didnt understand what I wrote. I'm not settling for less for him. He deserves better than a TRIAL. This guy deserves a CONTRACT abeg. I'm his fan anytime anyday!
