if I want to reply you with what's in my mind now, some people will wake up from hibernation and say safarigirl is an uncouth, unladylike female.

So, lemme just leave you to the gods before niggas start bytchin like they're on their periods

Pep Guardiola will still crash and burn in EPL. More woes to come.

If Kelechi's agent can't see the light, lemme point torch for them. Thegoodjoe, sorry, but Kelechi's growth is more important to me than EPL clubs and stubborn managers. So, I pray he gets out while he can. January will be too late.


Your arguments recently leave me disappointed more often than not, cuz you remind me of Nigerians who value their clubs over their own people. Just had to let that out

Saw Martinez in the stadium... the cameras didn't spot him for fun. Is he to take over when Pa Wenger leaves?

Still need a Walcott replacement though.


Iwobi got tired so fast.


Sanchez and Bellerin are the hardworking pair of that team. Ozil is now tactically known to over 200 club managers, that he phasesout or disappears when the hour clock is ticking. that is a consolation for them,and sorry to Gunners.


But overall, Gunners were cheated r
today. officiating.... offside.


Can't Pa just wake up one day and build on a tactics to make Iwobi the focal point?

TheGoodJoe:


I honestly think Nacho is in safe hands. Unfortunately, we are not creating enough chances upfront. That is why at the moment, Nacho is not clicking. As soon as we start creating chances regularly, Nacho will shine.

Departing is not the best answer. Sane had a good game today. He cost 37 million pounds, yet this is his fourth start. As time goes on, the older players will Phase out and Nacho will play a big role. He will get his chances at City. Let us not ruin the learning process by our impatience.

I hope you were not spying Sterling's behind when he scored the winning goal.

TheGoodJoe:


Soldiers growth, goes on in training camp and not battle fields. Great training at the military camps and academy shape the soldiers. When they reach the battle fields, they apply what they have learnt.

THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS IN THE PREPARATION.

We know ourselves we be Naija, this is not shocking but normal, so we can choose to keep numb and not open this potential can of worms.

Just like Wilfred Ndidi who in 2013 failed an MRI scan for the U17 Eaglets, meaning he was most likely not even a teenager then. And is now on a multi million £ transfer to Leicester as a world class young teenage sensation. But let sleeping dogs lie.

safarigirl:



Thegoodjoe isn't a City fan because of Iheanacho, he idolizes Pep and believes in the players and academy as well. A city fan cuz of Kelechi would drag Pep under the bus when he mistreats Kelechi just like I do.

You can accuse thegoodjoe of being a fanatic, but he's no fairweather fan.

komekn:


That Guardiola is a great coach is not in dispute.

But that Manchester city is a great academy I have serious doubts. They can buy the most promising teenagers even 8, 9 and even younger from other clubs. But the quality of coaches at academy level is done by network not competence.

I remember taking a young 14 year old of Nigerian origin to Platt lane. And the first ball he collected with roll and flip they asked him, heh mate how do you do that ?

I was quite shocked, in my opinion Nigerian coaches can teach individual technique and skill far more than most British coaches.

Reminds me of Uche Agbo. He started his professional career in Nigeria in 2010 and later moved on to Enyimba.
Somehow, he's still being referred to as a teenager in 2016.
21 yrs being his official age. By that calculation, it means he was 14/15yrs old when he was playing in the Npfl

chrisooblog:
on the wilred ndidi matter we shouldn't be too hasty to conclude that because he failed the MRI test he's then over aged. remember that american born nigerian boy who came for trials with the u17s of them kelechi, success set he also took the MRI scan and failed.

from stories i've have heard of ndidi before he moved abroad it's plausible that he's truly the age he says he is. stories of ikpeba and ugbade taking him along for youth tournaments which colin udoh confirmed in his article about ndidi. another pointer for me is that he was signed straight from his youth academy team Nath fc to europe.

tbaba1234:


Ndidi can't be compared to Uche Agbo.

Ndidi went straight from academy to Europe and only played in under age competitions including an under 16 tournament in 2011, in south Africa.

He also passed MRI tests up until the Caf tournament.

goldfish80:

Ndidi actually failed MRI test and was banned subsequently for the CAF U17 championship with 2 other Nigerian players. Ghana and Ivory coast lost some players too due to MRI failure.

You will be making a huge mistake believing that everyone who went straight to Europe from local academies are young.
My brother, Premier league and national league clubs at the end of each season call for an open camp, where players from different academies and amateur clubs come and try out. The lucky 4 or 5 get signed up, out of those 5 maybe only 1 actually got signed up on merit. The rest got singed up due to normal naija man know man runs, padi padi and sometimes players come to camp cluching letters from senators or house of rep members.
The hands of coaches and club managers are usually tied because these clubs are actually owned by state governments. Player with such recommendations are given preferential treatments and get contracts in the end. The other players (usually in their 100s) go back to their amateur clubs and academies and wait for next open screening or contacts from little teams in Asia and obscure countries in Europe.
The following year the cycle contines, in an infinite loop so to say.

All in all, you can have a player who have played for an academy or been within the amateur rankings for more than 7years before getting any sort of attention. A friend of mine who is a professional goal keeper told me that lukman Haruna came for screening 3 previous U17 sets before he was considered and made the captain in 2007.
Haruna went from the academy system in Nigeria straight to Monaco. Am sure you get the picture.

No, He vfailed the MRI test just before the tournament but passed during the qualifiers. Several players (About 15) had to be dropped in the qualifiers for failing that Manu had to bring in players from the under 15 team. At this point, Ndidi passed.. It was only at the start of the CAF tournment that he failed

He played the qualifiers where they were also required to take tests.

Same thing happened to Ifeanyi Mathew, Who passed during the qualifiers, passed for the CAF championship but failed just before the world cup.

The fact that Ndidi passed all through before the CAF tournament, indicates to me that he is young and not far from the declared age. It shows that he was growing through the qualifiers.

Kog45:
I quite agreed with u but on Lukman Haruna i want to say your friend did not tell u d truth coz Haruna in one of his interviews said Mikel was his role model and i don't think a player that was in camp with Mikel in 2003 w called Mikel a role model.Though going to U17 camp thrice is a cheat but twice is understandable.

I believe going to U17 camp twice doesn't mean u are over age.I remembered a friend named Tolagbe Alanamu a secondary school boy then that was dropped for Celestine Babayaro at d last minute and also James Obiorah who was dropped coz he was too young but later captained 1995 U 17.

If u can recollect Kanu and Emma Babayaro were member of U 20 Mauritius 93 but later drafted to Japan bound U 17 93 by advice of Westerhoff to Fanny Amu.This doesn't portrayed them as an over aged coz Kanu still went ahead to have a wonderful career than any of his mate in Japan 93 squad.

Am not saying there is no over age but d way w always goes about it is not good for our players.It was on this Forum somebody was saying Seyi Olofinjana should be 45 years of age and i need to come out and said Seyi is not up to 40 coz w played sch football together,even player like Emma Olisadebe who played for Poland during 2002 world cup,this are guys i know very well coz w played sch football together.

Ndidi MRI failing doesn't mean d guy was 25 years old then,though i don't know his actual age but d guy is still young and there is no need to debate his age.

In d 80s and 90s i can say we are a cheater coz i can remembered vividly Nigeria was banned from age tournament due to age discrepancies on Andrew Uwe and Samson Siasia passports and it was discovered during seoul 88 due to this Nigeria did not participate in age group btw 1990/91.I can say from year 2000 to date,things improved better against age cheating.

safarigirl:


I didn't even watch the game, as usual.


He will not get anything, and certainly not when Gabriel comes in January, the fact that you can't see that is very diaturbing

goldfish80:

I don't know how true this is. But I heard from a source that the MRI test result can be gamed if someone takes alot of citrus just before the test.
I understand alot of Nigerian players do this while in camp to game the system.
Don't take my word for it. Its just a hearsay
