Has Nigeria not also used and dumped players? So what's wrong if England does it?

They play professional football and they aren't 38 year olds posing as under 23

They'll play for us for a longgggg time and surely get starting shirts.

Imagine Nigeria with Ross Barkley, Ademola Lookman, agbonlanhor and Jordan Ibe alongside Iwobi and Dele Alli

That's a very good squad right there

Before Nko ?

He has got to think of his future and Nigeria (a dysfunctional country) does not give a damn for the future if its indigenes, why should he? Right choice bros.

Everton youngster, Ademola Lookman, who was born in England to parents from Nigeria, has snubbed his home country to play for the English side.

The young footballer reportedly pledged his future to England after holding face-to-face talks with Under-21 head coach Aidy Boothroyd over stories linking him to Nigeria.

This comes weeks after Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr who is preparing his squad for next summer's Africa Cup of Nations said he 'wanted to change his mind so he can play for us as he will add something to our team'.

England Under-21 head coach Aidy Boothroyd confirmed on Tuesday evening the youngster who was part of the Under-20 squad that won the World Cup in 2017 has pledged his future to his birth country.

"Every time I see him I have a little joke with him about it,' said Boothroyd. 'I say: "Why would you want to leave us?"

'But he's very focused on England – that's what he tells me. He says he wants to play international football for England.'

Speaking Lookman's difficult year after moving to Germany to join RB Leipzig on loan before returning back Everton, Aidy said:

'He's had a tough time of it, but he's been better recently,' said Boothroyd. 'He got himself into a state over summer when he didn't know where he would be playing or if he would be moving or not. Now he has just got his head around the fact that wherever it is he is playing, he has to play well.

'He has told himself "I just have to focus on me" which is right. When you look at Dominic Solanke, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Tammy Abraham, Reiss Nelson, Ryan Sessegnon and Ademola, we have some real attacking talent.'

They never learn! The English will use u and dump u at the slightest dip in form. Forget about Dele Ali,when him own start,e go be him like dream,plus he is half british.Go ask Fashanu, Gabby Abolaghor("Agbonlahooor" in English commentator's voice) and Jordan Ibe ( "IB" in English commentator's voice).

It is better to be used and dump in UK than to be used and dump in Nigeria.

They will only dump him if he's not performing up to the rivals in his position. Are all those who played the last nations cup for Nigeria still playing in the team?
No coach will dump a performing player, if he up his game, he'll be playing regularly.

He did the best thing, even Nigerians in Nigeria are running away from Nigeria, God helped him to be in UK, he should not even look back. Nigeria don't value their heros, most of the old footballers are wallowing in poverty and suffering with nobody coming to assist or help them.

My point is being a Nigerian has nothing to do with it.
It could be any African footballer or Musician.
