people in this thread don't even know Canada "begged" Ugbo

humility33:

NFF should be asked

The lustre attitude towards this players switch should be worked on

jihday:
when the NFF went to beg Abraham did you people not insult them? Do you still want them going about begging players? Or is the Billing embarrassment not enough for you?

Pin nick didn't go about the tammy case well

U don't go lure a prospect like that,be snapped pics and posting what u both discussed on social media like a politician

U do this things in discreet and work things out behind the scene

So pls dont call that pinnick sojourn a professional one but a rather a political move that failed

It seems no one or dept in the nff is responsible for reaching out to this players, relating with them and trying to entice them switch to Nigeria

It will cost us nothing

John Herdman: It was a 3-year process to land Ike Ugbo for Canada

John Herdman

If nothing else, John Herdman is persistent.

Don’t try putting a roadblock directly in front of the Canadian men’s team coach. He’ll only bust through it, or find a way to navigate around it, and continue down the same path before eventually arriving at his intended destination.

A day after forward Ike Ugbo announced his plans to switch national associations from Nigeria in order to represent Canada, Herdman revealed it was a long process that was rife with many obstacles early on. Herdman ran into a brick wall when he first contacted Chelsea FC three years ago about wanting to talk to Ugbo, then a member of the Blues’ youth setup, about the possibility of playing for Canada.

Go ask Abdul Zubairu, I read they are in the same WhatsApp group.

More on Ugbo's switch:

"Through our excel structure we were able to find a contact at Woodbridge who had let us know that Ike had the potential to play for Canada, this is back in 2018," Herdman told reporters, including One Media.

"So we contacted Chelsea's Head of Recruitment and at the time they just stonewalled the opportunity, they were very clear that Ike wasn't interested in representing Canada although we never got a chance to speak to the player who was young at the time.

"They were very clear he was on a pathway with England and that Canada wasn't an option."

He added : "Ike could have easily went to Nigeria but it was pretty clear that he wants to be part of this journey, this brotherhood we've created with this young group of men, and to take a country somewhere it's never been before and to have that experience that doesn't come around very often in people's football careers".

The embarrassment you people deserve is to be mediocre in scheme of things

U only get embarrassed when u refuse to do things right.... thats what NFF suffered with tammy

When have u seen north Africa nations process players lure and switch the way Pinnick did with Eze and Tammy

They rather go about it privately

U guys need to grow and learn

If he did the bolded, you would still come here to say he did nothing because he didn't give a slip

Joebie:

I read about the coach tenacity and persistence in getting talents he desires or he sees available

ChrisKels:
Raphinha is too good

Getting a Brazil call up while playing for Leeds should tell you alot

Raphinha and rodrigo shouldn’t be playing for Leeds United

eh read that paragraph again. There is a reason why I am bringing it to your attention.

I won't say such because the results could be different

We need to learn and grow

Have u ever read north Africans go after this foreign players the way pinnick did for the world to see

U do this things discreetly

Bros we don't need a bench warmer from the Belgian league in a position we have the best talents. Rest for once nwoke m

What do we need Ike ugbo for if I may ask ?

Express it here for me
Because all i read there is a coach that refuse give up in his pursuit

you can’t put us on the same pedestal as Canada, they aren’t even giants in North America they need all the players they can lay their hands on. This Ugbo is warming the bench for Onuachu who’s kinda surplus to requirement for us. So why should we chase him?

andrewbaba44:


What do we need Ike ugbo for if I may ask ?

exactly

ChrisKels:


Rodrigo isn't better than Leeds

He is

Everton spurs Leicester standard at least

Good pay lured him to England and he was their record signing

A move to atm failed a January move to Barca 2 seasons back also failed ,he is even Leeds highest earner at 100k weekly

andrewbaba44:


What do we need Ike ugbo for if I may ask ?

I am talking on this Because it can argued that same attitude is been put up towards others better than him we desire

There is a saying how you do one thing is how you do everything

I am saying this because i think it is high time nigeria football authorities take time study and learn from other countries most especially Morocco and algeria on how they lure and get this foreign players

for 3 years Canada has been chasing Ugbo did Canada say kpem?
Before oga coach start to talk na after Ugbo annouce switch to Canada. See scouting process!

I will not put anything past our administrative style. We are Nigerians we know how we do things at home.

Modified
I have been searching Google News (Canada English), I can't even find anything on Canada chasing Ugbo prior to the recent news.
