I got you mate!

My cynicism heightens when I sense an attempt to control my language all in a bid to appear politically correct.

There are quite a number of things I'd like to say, but say, make we no derail the thread.

Thing is that we blacks just wouldn't let go the humiliation our great grandfathers suffered during the slave trade, hence we become overly sensitive and just wouldn't loosen up, there by viewing every little thing via the lens of racism. Check out this bias, we can easily call a Caucasian an oyibo but would frown when we get addressed as negros or black. Some of us even go as far as getting offended when called an African.

I hope he joins them permanently, not just on loan. He's had enough loan stints already, it is about time he checked it as nothing beats stability.

forgiveness:
Nice wants him on loan but I don't the latest. But Bundesliga is a no no.

Any link to back up the bolded?

I only know of Monaco and Schalke04, though

junnyjake:
Americans are getting annoyingly sensitive these days, and it's unfortunate everyone else is catching the fever.

Yea though the etymology of the word mulatto(from mules, mulus) is somewhat demeaning, buh, so are some other English words not considered offensive.

forgiveness:
Awoniyi should flee from Bundesliga and rather go to the French league.

Same here, I hope he joins a team like, Rennes, Monaco or Nice in the ligue1

It's now a phrase. Sorry But check out the modified response

Yea biracial is cool

I did not want to say anything before they come for me.



No fear of God..

Nobody in that line up looks less than 27, bar the number 18 and maybe Igoh who both look 25,26.

Wetin concern me concern how anybody feels when I call a spade what it is

tbaba1234:

I said a word not a phrase(s)

tbaba1234:
I don't know the guy.. i will update when i find out.

Btw, Mulatto is an offensive word

Alright, update as soon as uv made ur findings.

About the word mulatto, I av edited it though, I cant quite fathom why people find it offensive. What's the best word to describe an offspring of two parents of different stocks?

Ighalo with a goal.

U mean another penalty goal? Against who sef? The almighty Shenzhen FC in the almighty Chinese Soccer League?

tbaba1234:
Perhaps Ozornwafor could have waited till after the WC.

Nothing is guaranteed bro. Better to strike while the iron is still red hot. From my own point of view, this is a great move and timing.

And d BBC TRANSFER PUNDIT HAS SPOKEN

Possible transfers bro. Buh I am convinced 90% would go through.

Tbaba1234 any news on the availability of Olowu and Asoro for the WYC? Are they being expected in camp?

Learnt ajayi is likely to sign for epl new boys Norwich city

Yea I haven't written about the wingers and midfielders who are almost certain to make bigger moves, come summer.

Wingers; Okereke to Fiorentina or any big club in the Serie A, Dennis Bonaventure, Onyekuru back to Everton or outright move to Dortmund or Bayern, etc

Boys like obinna Nwobo wanted by Freiburg and Frankfurt, Ajayi to Norwich, Tom Dele Bashiru to Atalanta, Nwaorisa to Sampdoria, Kingsley Michael back to Bologna, Etebo and Mikel to the premier League. Others like Igbekeme, Esiti et al.

In the defense, Ola Aina to either of fiorentina or Torino, or back to Chelsea, Collins to any Bundesliga club, Omeruo to Leganes permanently, Ebuehi back from injury, Awaziem to the French league etc

Exclusive- Enyimba Accepts Offer From Galatasaray For Nigeria U20 Defender Valentine Ozonwafor

If this news was anything to go by, then, thumbs up. Dude and Enyimba made the right choice for the boy's career. I see this boy and Awaziem taking over the super eagles CB after the Olympics. Good cover for Omeruo and Ekong. Like Icon4s rightly said, nature has a way of taking care of situations

By the way, this summer promises to be a busy one for Nigerian footballers. They will either be joining better clubs and leagues or go back to their parent clubs in better leagues.

Look what our Striking options promises post Afcon, all things being equal; Osimhen to Lille maybe via AC Milan, Awoniyi to Schalke04, Onuachu to Porto and Simmy to Lazio. From the outside, we still have Iheanacho and Success looking in.

forgiveness:
If Garba didn't open camp in all the six regions then he is a very lazy coach or perhaps NFF didn't provide funds for him to do so

I dont think this has anything to do with laziness or lack of funds, I feel Dude already had his players before the camping.

BascoVanVeli:
At least people watched those matches not that they were told by Nigerians sites known for fake news. If his numbers are so easy to throw around then they must be up somewhere. Are you telling me Chelsea doesn't record it's youth players stats? That would be a bold face lie because they keep other young players stats. This was how we knew Solanke had been scoring so much at youth level

Oya give me Solanke's u15 stats

NPFL/LaLiga 15: Delta Force dominant award even with 3rd Position.

By Clarkson Ogo.

Delta Force defeated Sunshine stars 1-0 to emerged winner of the third position of the just concluded NPFL/LALIGA under 15 tournament.

2015 Channel Kids Cup Most Value Player, Peter Joel nicknamed "Nana Aguero" won the MVP award for the 2019 under 15 NPFL/LaLiga tournament.

The dou of his team mates also proved that Delta state remain home of grassroot soccer with Murphy Ime( Best Goalkeeper) and Oghenetega Awo( Joint Top scorer with 7 goals).

The only team that managed to defeat Delta Force all through the event was Kwara United who emerged Champion with a lone goal against Katsina United in the final.

Chairman of the Delta Force, Chidi Okonkwo assured that programmes are already ongoing to groom these future stars together.

However, Peter Joel expressed confidence to do better if he his invited to the Future Eagles National team



why did nobody mention or talk about this tournament here,

C C: tbaba1234, JOEBIE, icon4s, chriskel, and others

It is no one's prerogative to post news here. I can also query u for not posting the news earlier.

BascoVanVeli:
Abeg shift jor. Prove the stats are real this is 2019.

Divine nwachukwu made the squad on the back of his u15 exploits(scored loads of goals), can u give us the stats? How many U15 players in Europe can u pull their stats? I even doubt Ronaldo Jnr's stats are documented, and thats not to say the numbers are bogus.

do4luv14:
dont mind him, just like some one play a trick on the English FA, to make them hand him an invite before us

A man who always stands as an attorney for malefic, can never be far from evil himself. Dat guy is always out to defend evil

BascoVanVeli:
He didn't come with as big a reputation like the Chelsea lad. 20+ goals and 10+ assists are no small numbers. Something smells fishy if you ask me

Oh the numbers were fabricated? U really can go any length to defend evil.

BTW, Real Madrid yesterday completed their La Decima of season losses
Rayo Vellacano ensured that, buh the main news is that one on ChrisKel's carpenter players clocked 90minutes for the Victorious Rayo.

Uche Agbo

BascoVanVeli:
I have not seen anything to prove that the Chelsea kid is as good as advertised. I have not even seen his stats online. Chelsea should be fuming if the player is that good but not a word from them. Someone might have played a trick on us. Those numbers could be fake.

Just as u haven't seen nothing to prove that that Bournemouth kid is an improvement on Shuaibu that manned the post against Tanzania, abi?

Golden Eaglets Coaches In The Bad Books Of NFF Over Treatment Of Chelsea Starlet

We understand that the Nigeria U17 coaches led by Manu Garba have incurred the wrath of Nigeria Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick and Vice President Seyi Akinwunmi after they decided not to hand minutes to Adrian Akande at the 2019 U17 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Chelsea wonderkid is courted by the English Football Association and was called up to their U16 team for the recently concluded Montaigu Tournament but was advised by his father to reject the invitation.
Pinnick is believed to be in the possession of the winger's invitation letter sent by the English FA and also played a key role in the player rejecting the advances of his country of birth.

The Golden Eaglets coaches have not hidden the fact that Akande is talented and remains in contention for a World Cup roster spot and have explained that he was not fielded in the ceremonial third place playoff against Angola because he's number 21 in the pecking order of players taken to Tanzania.

They also said that they wanted to win the third place playoff to appease Nigerians, hence the need to play a strong squad in yesterday's game.

Though Akande is being backed by Pinnick and Akinwunmi, Manu's godfather in the Nigerian Federation, Shehu Dikko, who is the chairman of the League Management Company Limited (LMC), was not in support of the player making the 21-man roster.

Dikko personally ran the rule over Akande at the FIFA Goal Project before the team's departure for Tanzania and wanted him to be replaced but was overridden by his superiors, Pinnick and Akinwunmi.

Joebie:
Lol. How do u know there were better players from those zones?

Good, so tell me, how would u know there were no better players since he decided to limit his scouting to Lagos? What happened to his 2013 format that birthed our best U17 crop? U dont expect a poor 15/16year old kid from Akwa Ibom, Enugu, PH, Owerri, Aba, Asaba, Umuahia, Onitsha etc to embark on a journey to far away Lagos, do you? U know the cost, the dangers and all. Last time Manu tested success he had camps in almost all the 6goeoolotical zones for proximity purpose, hence giving every kid a chance. How many Academies did he visit outside Lagos abi Nigeria revolves around Lagos? Mind u dis isnt about tribe or religion buh, zone, hence even the Igbo/igboid names u see on his list were not brought up in the SE buh Lagos and its environs. He picked most of his players from Lagos Academies and I even read an Academy has about five of their players in that team. This aint just laziness, Manu is on something. Bros there are cities in Nigeria that u dont joke with bkus they are always there to provide us with abundant quality talents; Jos, Owerri, Enugu, Asaba, Benin, Lagos, Kaduna are the primary cities, hence they deserve some sort of special attentions. From history, naijas best talents have always come from these cities, no disrespect to other cities.



That aside, how do u xplain the treatment he meted on a boy who left a tourney with England u16 for this AYC? Bkus Manu knew there would be no money to make on him, he decided to bench him to display his boys to the scouts for his own selfish interests, knowing full well that we are on a heated battle with the English FA for his services. Not even a minute of a game time to captie him and give him that Sense of belonging.

BTW, Dave it is now 9goals in 8matches for Vardy under Rodgers, xup our boy, is he still in the bakery assimilating?

TheGoodJoe:
And the team played better. Not kidding you, I am scared for Ndidi because he had a mare today. Very awful with the ball. He needs to start listening and study Mikel’s games at Chelsea. Keep it simple and pass to the close players. Do not try holding the ball for any reason.

Not trynna take anything away from ur post, buh Ndidi was the overall best player in the pitch until he was subbed.

As much I dont wanna blacklist Manu Garba, I think Forgiveness aint entirely wrong, after all. Manu aint as clean as he seems. There is more to his selections and matchday squads than meets the eye. How does one explain his decision to sideline Adrian Akande after spending alot to get him all the way from England? Why does he not have players from the South East, Delta and Edo in his squad?
