Osogagba: Any wonder Arsenal has won absolutely nothing in the past 8 years? While other EPL dey struggle to improve on the asking fees of clubs of players dem want desperately Arsene Wenger still dey turn the goods up and down like women wey dey price fish for Dugbe market. Instead make im talk say e no get money e wan use d nonsense called trials to embarrass our defender. I support you jare Oboabona. E good as you no go. Arsenal na the worst aka araldite team wey I don see for EPL. Dem for even offer you slave wages if to say you go and pass dem yeye trials. Wait a little. More serious teams will definitely come for you. Soon.

So you mean that if Wenger signs Obaobona and other players, he will win the EPL? Lol. There are so many clowns on Nairaland. Lets wait and see where Obaobona ends up with this utterance of his.

It is a pity I will see him during Christmas in December when I pay a visit to my Akure town.

I am sure he will be boasting in the near future about how great Arsenal offered him a trial and wanted to sign him.

Arsenal don't sign players that much, they only show interest. They will dangle the meat in your face. Lol. I love Arsene.

**falls down from garri tree** grin grin

Dont mind him. I am waiting patiently for the club that signs him. He thinks English Premiership is Sunshine Stars or Nations Cup. Jay Jay Okocha self couldn't go past Bolton in EPL top flight. Osaze self..see the club he is in EPL. He thinks it is beans and he is not being sensible comparing himself to NEYMAR!!!

An average defender opening mouth to compare self with a top attacker.

that trend stopped when players refused to respect their status as Nigerian players.Nigerian players used to get signed by major clubs but now we go to far flung countries all in the name of hard currency.that is why i am fpor his stance.it has to change.thats why other african countries started catching up with Nigeria becos we refused to appreciate our status as top football players

I see a lot of shallow comments here and i cringe at how hollow the mentality of some Nigerians are. The players that are called up for trials are playing that were discovered by scouts and these players are given the opportunity to prove themselves. It's an insult for this treatment to be extended to a player that has played at the highest stage. So, for players like that, it's either the club wants to buy them outrightly or not. I support Obaobona abeg.

Wenger is really an ancient man, his species have all died off.
He missed signing Ibra because the teenager refused his silly trial not to talk of Oboabona that's already a full international with Nigeria and a regular and a champion.

I wonder when an unknown quantity like Oscar was tried at Chelsea.

Just hope Tottenham dump Arsenal from the top 4 this time around.

Arsenal had Thierry Henry, Ian Wright, Patric Vieira in the team when they told Abramovic to do trials... was he a mega star then no...

so whats all the noise about....

Whos has turned out more starts and top players than Wenger. the rest buy them when they are made.

Wenger gives kids chances... how many more team have kids playing week in week out...

Obaobona u don old, if you nor old fear nor go catch you to prove us wrong...

You wan dey mess a whole Wenger up/begin yap oyinbo then why we dey send awa coaches for training for oyinbo land and not within Nigeria. or Africa.

You cannot have your cake and eat it at the sametime


Wenger does not need trophies to make his mark. hes past achievements speaks volumes....big time

Why are we so full of ourselves back home self....one player wey nor get nada exposure wan dey yeye person wey don dey d game for over 25 years.

LOLZ very funny sha

Re: Obaobona Slams Wenger Over Invitation For Trial by Obiagu1(m): 10:03pm On Jul 27, 2013
If after a trial and Oboabona proves that he is better than those crap he has at Arsenal, will Wenger pay Sunshine Stars $10 million for his services?
After proving himself, Wenger will still want to pay Sunshine Stars $200,000, after all it's a Nigerian club. sad
Re: Obaobona Slams Wenger Over Invitation For Trial by Nobody: 10:05pm On Jul 27, 2013
Rossikk: Look at HOPELESS Arsene Wenger that has won NOTHING in nearly TEN YEARS asking a CHAMPION like Oboabona to come for ''trials''.

If anything Oboabona should be the one inviting Wenger for trials to check if he, Wenger is up to the job of coach.

Personally, Wenger has no business coaching a top class team, given his record of failure, and is only at Arsenal cos someone is probably fcking his nyash there.

Also, Oboabona really should be looking to sign for another club, not this bunch of arrogant underachievers that never win shite.

chronique: I think a lot of folks here are either ignorant or sentimental. The Nigerian league is known for producing 30yrs old under 21 players and you guys expect a club that will be paying top figures in GBP to sign him up just like that without assessing him? The level of development in terms of football in Nigeria,is miles apart from what you have in brazil. Both countries aren't on the same level in terms of football development. This lad plays for a club that is not on the same level with smaller european leagues and you expect him to just sign a contract like that with a team like arsenal? The didier drogbas of this world,already made their names while playing in marseille before getting contracts with top english clubs. Incase most of you guys do not know,the french leagues as big as it is,is like a breeding ground for talents where major clubs in italy,england,spain and germany go to scout players(even though french clubs get automatic champions league spots). Simply put: with the standard of our league and the age cheat scam that has trailed most Nigerian footballers,no top club would wanna take a risk in giving such players automatic contracts and even if they do,it would be once in a while. I'm a patriotic Nigerian and do not believe in Nigerians being maltreated but trust me,he needs to check his ego.


You are so on point.
Wenger discovered the likes of George Weah and Kolo Toure, gives opportunities (because he gives more than one chance) to the young and provides the technical nous required to upgrade a player from unpolished diamond to a gem of inestimable quality and value.
He more than any coach in Europe can beat his chest when it comes to giving opportunity to Africans
Yet, when faced with the talent of the likes of Zlatan he sometimes requests a trial. This is necessary in some cases as this is a multimillion pound venture even for those in the reserves.
The end justifies the means and at the end Obaobona's pedigree and mentality would be known to the world.
Time would tell... cool

You gonn hope for a long time. Tottenham have the loat their beat chances of finishing above Arsenal now that their Joker. Gareth Bale is heading to Spain.

Do guys here realize how many professional players ther are out there that would give any thing to get a trial at world class team? The truth is our league is not comparable to that in brazil where players like Oscar was bought. I wonder if Ogoabana would have refused Alex Ferguson he got a chance. I wold love to see him prove Arsenal wrong, but if other clubs interprete his refusal to try with Arsenal the way I do, he may have blown away a huge chance to move to a much higher level.
I don't want to hear that he eventually moved to a club like Lille or Villadoid
Re: Obaobona Slams Wenger Over Invitation For Trial by afrokid(m): 10:09pm On Jul 27, 2013
I've been reading comments people have been posting here on this issue and some are just laughable and appalling. For the fact that Godfrey Obaobona won the nations cup and played at the Confederation's Cup is not an automatic ticket for him to play for a top club in Europe.
You need to ask yourself what league does he play in and which of the teams is he in. The NPL or NPFL as it called presently has been rocked with challenges such as sponsorship, financial crisis, age cheating, match fixing scandals, etc. Now, do you expect a club like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona or Real Madrid to just look at 1 player from such a league of so much uncertainty and sign him automatically? Your guess is as good as mine. Recently, there were lower league matches that were played and a team won 67-0, a laughable result. This season alone, Nigeria, African Champions, couldn't produce a club to represent her in the CAF Champions League and Confederations Cup.
Godfrey mentions Neymar without knowing that the club he (Neymar) came from went as far as playing at the world club championship and this makes you wonder the basis of his argument when his own club hasn't won a domestic title. If players such as C. Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (who turned down his own) who came from better leagues could be offered trials I see no reason why he should make a big fuss out of it. If he's good enough trying to mark out players he contends with, why wouldn't Arsenal sign him?
My advice: Godfrey, swallow your pride and go for it or stay at Akure with Sunshine Stars

Wilshere was at the academy from age 9.
you can say the likes of Flamini and Fabregas were also academy players bearing in mind they were still quite rough and unexposed to first team football.
Rarely do you find managers who give teenagers (especially between the ages of 16 & 18) the opportunity to play at the highest level but i guess you already knew that.

When henry came back to rejoin Arsenal wenger say he want to watch him well in training b4 knowing if he should resign him,Beckham oma the other side was nt sign.Obo,which ever that is giving u advice is deceiving u period.

Fake story and lies. We know agents like linking their players to Arsenal to generate interests. Once everyone hears Arsene and Arsenal want you, then it means you are good.

Arsene has not even sorted Djorou and Ignasi Miquel out, it is now one raw 30 years old Oboabona with little technique that will give him headache.

Do you actually think playing a whole English season with the EPL, FA cup, League cup and Champions league is the same as AFCON or the confederations cup.

Oboaboma you and your agent should try another lie, we have seen all these before.

So if Arsene offers this 'okuko Igbo' a trial he won't jump at it? You want me to believe such rubbish.
