For everyone one footballer here that made it big with football, there are at least, 20 others that couldn't....

Our parent did what they thought was best for us.

Trust me. He should be withdrawn from the first team Asap.

He is far too young for this sort of exposure and it will definitely prove costly to his career in the long run.

The might want to consider moving him to their youth team- preferably U15/16- until he turns 16. Give him another 4 years at least.

Letting such a kid play with grown men is grossly irresponsible. He still has a whole lot of development to do.

There’s something called star..

That it has never happened before doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t happen..

The young star will grow

Why are you thinking that way

Boy is just 11...

A lot of things go into developing a footballer. He hasn't seen half of it. He might be talented and all of that but trust me, he is not ready at this age to play at the very top of the game.

Raw talent and skills aren't just enough. A whole lot of things go into creating a well-rounded player and by throwing him into the fray with the big boys week in week out, the club is denying him of that much-needed development and that will definitely be inimical to his growth.

Best thing is to give him a pre-contract and let him grow gradually. When he is at least 16, then you start easing him into the big league.

Now, the problem is, does his club have the facilities and structure to groom him?


This is from a man who has experienced first-hand what it means to be rushed through things. It sort of scarred me for life and I am just getting myself back together. It's energy-sapping for real.

He is not the first. Neither will he be the last.

He is a talent- a budding star. But he is not yet a star.

The training that his club is starving him of is what will eventually make him a full-blown star.

If they want him to go beyond the shores of Liberia and West Africa then they must do the needful by getting him back into the production belt.

Africans can over do things sometimes..there is a reason we have age grade football for all round development..There are brilliant talents in chelsea, manu, city, barca etc youth team, but they cant be thrown straight to the first team, the need to be properly developed and mentally ready..Football is a process..11 year old in the first team, what are they thinking...Just one rough tackle and push can end his career

This has nothing to do with rules.

That lad should be allowed to grow gradually. I don't think you know what it means to be thrust into the limelight when you are young and inexperienced.

Fame is a beast. They should just protect him.

Must every stupid decision be God picking call? You may have the talent but may not be mentaly ready to witstand certain level of exposure, how about racism, public demand, praise and scrutiny not to mention social media abuse and all that follows, like a tree with no root to the soil one storm of life and he's on the foor, then you see us looking for the next one.. Kakuta of Chelsea come into mind. The same mouth that sing Hosana Hosana will be singing crucify him. GOD pick Nigerians call for independent, how is it working out us?

Baba on a serious note, wat dat boy needs right now is grooming,more training and a good mental advocate. Fame not properly tamed can be very poisonous.

They should let that boy just keep developing without being too rushy and pushy on him.

I see raw talent but talent they say is never enough ���

For those quoting me: I posted this out of genuine concern. I have been rushed through phases of my life simply because I showed glimpses of promise in certain endeavours and it ended badly for me. Wish I could tell my story here.


If anybody quote you badly, then he knows nothing about football and what pressure can do to a kid even a pro.

It is not fair on the boy and it is not fair on the grown men who have to play with him. Africans with irresponsible mentality, Even this God you mentioned would not allow the boy to play with grown men.
