the person you are replying to once told us Azuibuike is better than Ndidi, don't know why you people are taking him serious

Oga, carry your bitterness and pains go choke. My opinion here should not torment your soul for this long.

I said that Ndidi has weaknesses in ball carrying abilities. Also said Agu is a fantastic DM and I prefer him to Ndidi. And I said Nwakali is the most talented AM we have. And I said Iwobi is trash...these are my assessment and you can chose to "not take me seriously" I don't even know you exist till today

I disagree based on the fact that if same boy was loaned out to a non English league club he will fumble just like his borough peers....you get it.

I am yet to see any borough boy made it BIG outside England but I could be wrong and you would inform me.

Oga wetin you dey write so

Better you leave the topic if you cant comment without sentiments.

I understand you are obessesed with local groom players but that's not enough reason to belittle a young lad


Again , I dont want a player that isnt better than what we already parade. No sentiments, I am a hardcore realist. By the way , the boy is not a Nigerian hence the snub and cold shoulder. If you guys had any pride you wouldn't be masturbating on these issue

If Saka switches allegiance to Nigeria tomorrow, I think he will join the queue on the right wing which is good for squad strength.
It would be a huge joke to have him play at the back because he is not a defender.
However, having another winger is not our priority. We need attacking midfielders, set-piece specialists, left-back and a reliable ball-playing centre-back.

HUGE CREDIT to Gernot Rohr for the positive involvement of our players in the current transfer window. The German has created a highly competitive environment in the national team and boys are hungry again to don our colours and by 2022 we should have a very strong squad.

The boy have ignored Nigeria and these phools here know that but for some strange reason they actually think he is a Super Eagles player, thats first. Secondly, Saka is not going to bench anyone as it stands and we even have better player who would still sit on the bench. Now, tell me why we should invite an obvious inferior talent and an English reject.

You're very delusional
Saka never ignored Nigeria he said he wasn't ready for international duties or do you think he was ignored by southgate you must be clown some close source to saka told me he was invited by south gate and rejected the call up coz he is not yet ready for international Duties you kept saying he will be on bench when was the last any of our winger including Lord chukweze have double digit assist in any Europe top 5 league even in England saka is gonna start not to talk of Nigeria when 95% of all our players are bang average.

Best legs wins trophies. Let's drop sentiment aside. We need Saka. This kid can be deployed as an AM. He has good vision. Maybe he is not dribbling as many typical Nigerian would want, but there is more to football than looking at flair of a player. I for one, I'd love to see Saka. But if he chose 3lions over us, so be it.

Yeah...better than most of the wingers we have currently.

Saka is an hybrid winger.. he can offer something tangible offensively and defensively.

a winger that can track back to defend so well, can cross the ball so well, pass better than all our wingers
He is intelligent being a product of the Hale Academy dude knows when to release the ball so well and can also play as an AM

Tell me of someone in the current super eagles team that beat him in all of this pls?

Saka is a great talent with a higher ceiling than most of our present players(wingers or fullbacks)

He is versatile

He is young(not the Nigerian version of young)

He will certainly add alot to the super eagles...
But if you think he is average because of his playing style or achievement the last season, it's your call and you have a right to it..

But if you don't want Saka because he is a "borough boy" then you are just a "local Komekn"

I don't get the segregation between Nigerians born abroad and those born at home.. We are all Nigerians, we have equal rights to represent our nation.. Keep ur local bias and celebrate good talent, be it Nwakali or Saka, Alhassan or Eze, Amoo or Ejaria



Good morning my people

LOLLL is it the same Nwakali that I know or you mean another one...

Hope you know that dude is the most lazy AM we currently have even Iwobi is ahead of him when it comes to work rate

I just don't wanna critize our players or use one to pull down another.

But still you and many hyping this nwakali need under stand that under 17 football is not same as men's football...
Days of past glory are all gone

Ever since he metamorphosed into men's football dude has not live up to expectations. It is so painful this young players don't know that talent is never enough you need to work extra hard to make it through

The information that came to me yesterday was correct. I can confirm that Bukayo Saka indeed asked Southgate to leave him out of the English Three Lions squad as he hasn't made a final decision yet.
Southgate actually contacted Saka and intended to include the lad but Saka said no.


Now, he also hasn't given his yes to Nigeria yet but being asked to be left out of England's squad also means something.


I have never seen a Naija lad who was offered the chance of an England Call-up and said No. This could suggest Saka could be leaning towards Nigeria in his heart. But time will tell.


No lad who actually wants England will fail to jump at the chance Saka was just given. Ebere Eze got invited by England's U-21s and he jumped straight at it even when Nigeria approached him for the Brazil game. Tammy was also invited and the lad did not waste time giving his nod. Now Saka has said no and asked for time. This is indeed interesting but we will see where this ends.


The Saka Saga continues.

Like i said the other day, I am not losing sleep over Saka, he is one player I don't see his need in the super eagles even though I want him as it would not do our depth no harm, but to be honest, I am indifferent about whatever decision he chooses to make, as regards his national allegiance.

We don't really need Saka as much as we want him

I don't think there's any phobia. What I see here is just few selfish elements who don't like us having the best legs in the team simply because their faves in mushroom teams and leagues won't get a chance to get undeserved invites. No fan that means well for the super Eagles will spill that nonsense of "We don't need Saka"

That is how some of them will be bringing up players like Agu or Azubuike and be comparing him with Ndidi sanyin they are better , meanwhile they are not even mates to start with. Let me not talk about the Nwakali talk from another quarter, that one is another case entirely.

It is just nauseating to say the least
