Ok..I want you to think deeply. How does it sound to your ears when you hear people comparing two teams based on their salary range? Like who compare two players using their individual wages? Does that make sense?

You are talking absolute balderdash and Codswallop you are retrogressive in the extreme with your parochial and benightedness.

Well maybe 🤔 I should make allowances for people who most likely didn't finish secondary school.

You are probably a UNREPENTANT tribalist you are the quintessential Nigerian problem.Tribe and ethnicity over competence, capacity, knowledge and ability.

You would choose Musa and Sadiq over Boniface and Ademola because it's kind of fair ( quota system) and they don't have colonial mentality ( whatever that is to you) .

If I could use vitriolic rhetoric to describe you I would, but I simply don't do that.

omo see finishing. You pushed for Finidi. I can clearly see your reason👌👌. Good team list devoid of emotive bias. My only worry is just not seeing lookman

What do I think. I think he still has it in him. That why villa, everton, palace are all hovering.

If I say a player is good, I would back it up with some level of objective appraisal not emotive preference.

KC is a forward player, playing recently for the best team arguably by some in the championship 🏆.

That means his team will create a lot of scoring chances.

Was KC pivotal to the success of Leicester city this season or just a backroom choir boy praise singer ❓

Let's look at his stats this season 23 games and 5 goals in the Championship. Can I ask you is that the pedigree of a quality player❓

In the EPL 2021/22 played 26 games scored 4
In the EPL 2022/23 played 28 games scored 5

Looking at the statistics and his overall performance this season can you explain your thinking please.

Maybe you lack understanding but finance is pivotal to success in football ⚽.

You may be unaware but the best players get the best money in general. And poor players get paid poorly in general "Ceteris paribus" , all things being equal.

In addition core quest of all players is to maximise income. Again in general if you are getting paid poorly it's either your are not good or your agent was not ingenious in setting up your contract.

Look at Antony Robinson LB for Fulham on £60k a week and Zaidu is on £12k a week. Why do you think 💬 is the reason for that ❓

Lookman and Ejuke were omitted here but are actually on the list 25 players! This list might be true afterall!
From Finidi's statement today, that he would only invite players playing regularly and with the inclusion of Akpoguma, I believe this is the list!
ekehopp2:


Uzoho, Omeruo on the permanent way out.
Onyeamachi, and Iheanacho missing out is understandable.
No Semi Ajayi and Ademola Lookman?
I fear we are capping too many players with dual nationality while forsaking our full-bred Nigerians. Kind of unfair and like Colonial mentality.

I counted 23 here. 2 more NFL to complete List?

Finish will do very well as SE coach. He was humble enough to admit that he is limited and hired foreign assistants to help him out. He went about getting the job with humility. He will go far. Amokachi will be more of a motivational speaker than coach.
If na Amuneke e for no hire any foreign assistant e be like person wey no like share glory with anybody.

Update:

As of today, Nigeria will be represented by 69 athletes across 10 different sports.

But that number could swell to over 80 athletes if all six boxers, being sent to an Olympic qualification tournament in Thailand in the middle of this month, advance to the Olympics. Also, our womens 4x400m relay team, currently ranked amongst the top 2 nations that are yet to qualify for the Olympics, will most likely punch their tickets to Paris at the African Athletics Championships in June.

BTW, the record number of accredited athletes Nigeria has sent to a Summer Olympics is 83 - the number of athletes who represented Nigeria at the Sydney 2000 Games.

Using wage to tell the potentials of a player shows how daft he is

There are players earning less but play better or with better potentials than those earning pounds in championship and epl

He is wanted by Tottenham and in there is a discussion about him in Liverpool.

Sorry let me be more wholesome,.he is on the radar of 90% of all teams in the EPL. As well as several top teams in Europe.
They said Iheanacho is wanted by Aston villa,u Said no,he is only good enough for league 1 and Turkish league.

Now they said Tosin Adarabioyo is wanted by Newcastle, u echoed it by saying he is even wanted by better clubs like Tottenham,Liverpool and 90% of EPl clubs,as well as top clubs in Europe.

u want Iheanacho to go down,and want Tosin to go up,all because one is born in England and the other is not.
Is this not the prejudice u often accuse others of?

But u have consistently refused to apply the bolded to Iheanacho, but only to Nwakali and Zaidu.

According to ur logic ,don't u think that Iheanacho should be considered good going by how much he earns through the years?

Many will never know the quality of Isaac so sad how his career went. I remember him as that boy from under 17s AFCON who had a precontrat with Udinese worth over 3 million Euros. If Iheanacho never hit those heights, Isaac certainly got stuck in his own blooming height, he never bloomed.
Guyyy whenever I remember the Isaac success I watched during that under 17 afcon, I feel sad how his career turned out, I really had high hopes for him then, he was so outstanding in that tournament I didn't even know there was a certain kelechi iheanacho

same person that said bright went to turkey instead of epl because of tax and somehow it made perfect sense in his head. That's one thing about prejudice. It makes you defend your position no matter how ridiculous. Same as blue font defending already paid coaches collecting 'development fees' from players in the u17. To others it's nonsense, to them it makes perfect sense.

Your statement is driven by hate. You don't know Amunike's heart and I doubt a coach who coached the U17 and U20 without receiving money until the government were able to clear up his arrears is a man riddled with pride. Slow down with the hate. It is a National hero that has served the country with devotion and pride.

I repeat, the report clearly stated that it was the family on their own will that gave Amunike and the coaching crew. Note not only Amunike but the whole coaching crew the development fee. Keep in mind these coaches have worked all through and we're being owed despite winning the world cup.

Another hate statement against Amunike. You do not know his mind or the actions he would have taken if given the job. By the way, when Osimhen did his first trial with the U17, Amunike was not convinced but his assistant told Amunike that Osimhen was good and deserves a look in. Amunike listened to his assistant and gave Osimhen another chance and the rest was history.

If Amunike was a man filled with pride, he would not have listened to an assistant who opposed his view.

Finito.
