forgiveness:
Onyedinma showed at lot of promise while playing for his club but I don't know what real went wrong.

He's a good player.

Oh u also believe he is a better player than Ademola Lookman?

charlesemeka85:
Top Dutch club SC Heerenveen have formally presented Flying Eagles invitee Hamdi Akujobi ahead of the new season.

Hamdi's case makes me have more respect for his father Chika Akujobi. Chika never tried blocking his boy from representing Nigeria unlike Ojokojo, the father of Jordan Torunarigha. I have seen Hamdi play, he is so good.

I am tipping him to make considerable number of appearances for the Heerenveen first team when the season begins.

Ajax cape Town won their case at the arbitrary committee and have been restored back to the PSL.
By NGO, I meant charity organization.

I understood u that was why I said "Maybe, just maybe..."


If u think deep u wouf get where I am headed.


About getting them back to the PSL, then, lucky him.

goldfish80:
Ejike suffered recurring achilles injury. If you know anatomy very well you will agree with me that achilles injury doesn't go away easily. This achilles injury finished Cazorla and Diaby. It was unfortunate for Ejike that when he got back fit, Sundowns were already PSL and caf champions, the injury continued at Bidvest and currently he's at Ajax.
If he wasn't good, how do you explain 3 of the best PSL sides giving him contracts? Those football clubs aren't NgOs.

Ajax cape town got relegated last season, the less said, the better.

Talking about NgOs Lol, those three clubs u mentioned are privately owned, may be, just may be...lol I didnt say anything

Sadiq Umar reported to have arrived Scotland already for his Rangers medical.

Seems Kelechi Nwakali will be joining Nac Breda instead of Porto after all. This move doesnt make sense to me because it aint gonna get him qaulified for that work permit.

Arsenal aint serious with this guy if this rumour is true

goldfish80:
How? Did the spell turn out bad due to his unprofessional conduct? Was he given chances and he flopped? Even Pato didn't get to turn out for Chelsea while on a 1yr loan. Iago Aspas at Liverpool didn't go well too. My point is that some transfers don't just work out, not because of lack of talent or endeavor.
It's not exclusive to Nigerian home-based players.

We know the story of Aspas and Pato. While it didnt workout form them at those clubs U mentioned, it did for them elsewhere. Same cant be said of our boy who also couldn't cut it at the PSL with Sundowns

Watford FC just signed another winger, so what happened to the purported interest on the sensational championship winger, Fred Onyedinma? Seems it was another bogus news from Southgate. Lol to think that he so hyped this boy to the extent he said Ademola was nothing but a packaged deal while Onyedinma was the real talent.

But today, he has forgotten Onyedinma and now hyping Lukman to high heavens


Ppl ehh

edi287:
Wow! Just checked wiki and he only played a game for their first team. Explains it

You didn't even care to check how many minutes he played in that solitary appearance.


Taiwo, Uwa and Co opened that door for our NPFL players to the ligue 1. But u won't be wrong to say that Uzoenyi's failure has kinda closed that door a bit.


Back then, our NPFL players were flooding the Belgian league without trials but same cant be said of the present day NPFL players just because the league has been destroyed.

BascoVanVeli:
Even Onazi couldn't get into England so that case is dead on arrival.

Onazi's case was a different thing bro, Onazi was denied bkus of work permit, also Onazi wasnt wanted by any top league but a division two club Birmingham. Also Onazi didnt get the look in playing for the NPFL rather, the Turkish super league


Talking about Onazi, I doubt Birmingham would come back for him now that he has qualified for that work permit, since he couldnt maintain that momentum that made them ask for his siggy initially. (this is a dfrnt debate though)

BascoVanVeli:
Do u want us to buy the players for these clubs? It is called missing out. Those clubs missed out on top talent.

Lol this is ridiculous. The teams missed out on the players they never wanted?


U can only use that term if those teams battled for their signature and then lose out to other teams.

Guy you are so funny ooo

This ur point is what we call grasping at straws

komekn:
Considering all the problems our players from local league contend with.

The greatest problem is ourselves, if you see red eye hungry club chairman and agents sometimes multiple agents with ridiculous demands plus under table settlement you will run.

In 2013 an EPL team was interested in Sunday Mba what I experienced, I totally WITHDREW, I doubt if Mba knew what was going on.

Lol my brothers wanna cover these things up and pretend everything is right with the league

The league is so poor that scouts rate rate our Academies higher. They see the academy as a better place to poach talents than the mediocre of a league

BascoVanVeli:
Etebo, Musa and Omerou were among the best performing super eagles and they all came from the NPFL.

From the Nigerian league to which leagues and clubs as compared to the French league and clubs like Lyon, Lille, Anderletch et al

BascoVanVeli:
Such is life.

Really

komekn:
Please with respect are you comparing French league 1 to Bulgarian league

I'm another post I went into some depth the SPECAIL relationship that exists between France and it's firmer colonies in Africa. That enables them direct access to French league 1, no bus stop no detour STRAIGHT.

Firstly the France National team is essentially an African team.

Something our colonial heritage with Britain HAS NEVER EVER DONE FOR US.

It's a shame really.

edi287:
Good shout. It was on loan right?

Yes on loan. But did you know some people lost their jobs for that move after it turned out the boy wasnt up to scratch ?

Dig deeper bro

edi287:
LMAO! What a joke..

Dey there nah

goldfish80:
Aren't you overreaching too much? The guy spent 6 months there but couldn't settle. How can he be responsible for Nigerian players not getting signed?

Sorry it was an oversight, but that said, Uzoenyi was a big time failure Rennes wish they never encountered

andrew444:
You don disgrace your self already so no need to cover up okay.

Dude Park, you are not smart, I actually thought ur unnecessary outburst against Southgate the other day was a mistake, now I am convinced you are so bereft of knowledge. sorry to say this bro, you are such a dumb guy

I wont reply u again, gotta concentrate on the smart guy goldfish80

andrew444:
I did not say dauda go to the World Cup from the Nigeria league,please learn how to read well .

Lol look at you e rejected psl and came to Nigeria league common bro I was not born yesterday

Dauda played at Ashanti gold of Ghana for long period so where is the useful league ?

He played at Orlando pirate for a season and he could only played 3 games,he played at chippa united for a full season and he could only manage 2 appearance,so what are you saying ? Man you don't know what you are saying okay.

He returned to Ashanti gold after his failure to get game time in South Africa league, after there he signed for enyimba and you are here making noise saying he played in useful league.

Next time if you don't know what to say then don't say it

From the bolded u can deduce that he is a PSL reject like I rightly said.

Boy u just contradicting urself bro, maybe U dont know the South African league is called the PSL

U dont have a point.

Besides, I never said he played in better league, rather he used the better part of his career to figure in other leagues before coming down here

andrew444:
lol you gat nothing to say,see your excuse

Let the so called Ghana player make the senior team of Lyon and not Lyon b

Lol e pain am

Dont wish him bad, rather call out the authorities to do the right things in our league in order to place us where we truly belong

andrew444:
You have already disgraced your self by saying dauda played in a useful league

I hope the player will not play in Lyon b

Why will I know about Ghanaian football when I am not from Ghana just as you are

Show me where I said he played in a useful league or u face ur palm

I said he spent the better(useful) part of his career in other leagues. Do u have ish with comprehension bro?

The bolded just proved that u have been debating blindly all along. Why argue what u know nothing about bro?

BascoVanVeli:
Burkina Faso keeper that even Ojo Olorunleke for my Akwa United better pass, abeg make we hear word jor. None of the Nigerian players you mentioned had to do trials to get signed. This is where I have a problem, if you are going to say something at least be honest. It is not always the players. Clubs dont want to deal with Nigerian clubs because of their behavior in the past.

Yes Ojo is better, no wonder Ojo plays for Akwa while Koffi plays for the Lille first team in the ligue 1

andrew444:
Did ahmed musa use trial to join vvv venlo? Did alhassan ibrahim joined austra wien by trial before moving to portugal?

Brown didnt went on trial before signed by Neuchâtel Xamax

How many players has been transfered from ghana academy to better european club?

Ndidi from nath boys,kelechi forgotten the academy,what about kelechi nwakali? isaac success and co

I can give you many more

Compare those yeye clubs u reeled out there with Lyon and Lille before u argue.


About the Academies, u just showed u know nothing about Ghanaian football. Thats not our argument for now anyways

andrew444:
Elderson Uwa Echiéjilé from Bendel Insurance to Rennes,i guess you never know about that

Now you are singing same music with me. We dont see such moves anymore.


Elderson and Taiwo moves were more than 10 years ago. A kid that was given birth to then, should be in the secondary school by now

andrew444:
You are here making jest of our league,the guy might be going to Lyon B,you are just quick to talk.

As far as i am concerned Nigeria league is better than ghana league in all way,even their first choice keeper at the 2014 world cup is at enyimba

Imagine what u comforting urself with, Dauda didn't go to the world cup from the Nigerian league, he only joined the Nigerian league after exhausting the useful part of his career in other leagues.

Dude is even a PSL reject. He came to Nigeria because no Ghanaian club was keen on him. He is a former ghana international, so u dont have a case bro

goldfish80:
Ejike Uzoenyi went to Rennes from Rangers straight.

A move Rennes regret till tomorrow bro. His failure is one if the reasons those top teams have turned their backs on us.

goldfish80:
This is the list of past Ghana premiership top scorers and where they landed (2005-2015).
If you look closely, you will discover most of them ended up in Sudan, Egypt, UAE, Tunisia... The best move I can find from this list was the guy who transfered to Norway.
The story of Ghanaian football is not so different from Nigerians and I dare say the NFL is doing way better than any other league in west Africa.

https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/amp.pulse.com.gh/sports/ghana-premier-league-last-10-top-goal-scorers-and-where-they-are-id4779653.html

Your list is talking about top goals scorer, it doesn’t encompass the whole players. I am saying a different thing all together.

Take for instance Dauda Mohmed to Anderletch, Baba Rahman et al

edi287:
Lmao dude sounded pissed. Said he didn't need to go on trials after winning the AFCON. I thought the links were genuine.

Nigerian club Sunshine Stars say English Premier League side Arsenal have never asked them to take Godfrey Oboabona on trial.
Media speculation last week
suggested not only did the Nigeria defender turn down the offer of a trial and but he criticised manager Arsene Wenger too.
"I never said anything about a highly respected manager like Mr Wenger showing me a lack of respect," he said.
Oboabona also says he was not aware of any invitation for a trial.
"I have had so many text messages, phone calls about it - the rumour that I was invited on trial was not true - I only read about it like everyone else," he explained to the BBC.
"I've always said I will take my time, focus on my development as a player and continue to give my best in every game. "At the appropriate time, when clubs must have seen me well enough, they will hopefully approach Sunshine Stars in Nigeria.
"My desire is to grow every day, sadly all the things written about Arsenal did not come from me."
The 22-year-old played a big part in Nigeria's victorious 2013 Africa Cup of Nations campaign and was also part of their Confederations Cup squad. He was an integral part of Nigeria's qualification for the African Nations Championship, the continent's tournament for locally based players only, for the first ever time.
The Sunshine Stars' chairman Mike Idoko also insisted there has been no approach from Arsenal.
"It all began in the media and ends there," he told BBC Sport. "If there was any substance to the
story, we expect Arsenal would
approach his club first. "We haven't had any official communication with Arsenal or any Premier League club about [Godfrey] Oboabona."

edi287:
It's the truth. The big 5 leagues hardly sign our players straight up without trials. Infact, how many times have we had them even invite our players for trials?? I think Oboabana was the last. Sunday MBA went to Ligue 2

Nobody invited Oboabona. That news of his Invitation by Arsenal was as bogus as the change APC promised us.

Even the least rated leagues in Europe hardly sign our NPFL players without subjecting them to serious trials

BascoVanVeli:
Can you hear yourself? You just trashed our league but now you are talking about sideways moves. At least they have made the jump to Europe and as we can see with Alhassan they will climb up the ladder.

Lol bro this is the hard truth, our league is crap. Consider Herve koffi joining Lille in ligue 1 directly(without trials) as a goal keeper from the Ivorian league, Arthur joining Olympique Lyon from the Ghanaian league. All these are Western African leagues, I dont even want to compare our league with the northern African leagues because it would be an insult to those Northern African leagues.

Can u compare those guys with the Odeys, Lokosas, Ezes et al of this world who end up in Bulgaria, Denmark, fc Zurich et al after some serious trials?

BascoVanVeli:
Alhassan didn't need trials and neither did Stephen Eze or Afeez Aremu. We have passed that trials stuff Junior Lokosa's deal in Bulgaria ended because he refused trials.

Those guys u mentioned made nothing but side ways moves. We talking about one of the best leagues in Europe and a giant of a club, and you are here talking about Bulgaria et al nawa oo.

If u had talked about Taiwo joining Marseille hundreds of ages ago, u might have an argument bro.

I doubt the best in our league can have trials in France much less signing an out right deal with the least team in the ligue 1.

Our league is a disgrace
