maidaboi:
he did not say that he will flop its a possibility
In that vein, it is also a possibility that Osimhen will flop if he comes to Tottenham. That's komekn's point. In fact, that reminds me.....Osimhen hasn't scored in his last 4 consecutive ligue 1 matches. I hope the flopping hasn't started already.

Abeg, na joke I dey ooo cheesy grin

But seriously, Osimhen needs a long rest and its affecting his game a little. That's the reason we need a deputy for him in the SE. Unfortunately, even Onuachu is a Professor of Carpentry

of all the things you can do, you compile a list of players from far away South Africa and call them carpenters. Who does that?
I have achieved my aim. You seem riled up grin grin

But please note that this list was also compiled for CIV and Ghana.

If you're displeased, please kindly cry to the mods. The Lord's work must be done grin grin

He should not be scared to move if so

Hope you remember Michael Owen was not the same Liverpool Owen at Madrid ?

Yes he won’t flop but never say never

Hazard is yet to find laliga easy
Hmmmm....you have a point but I think Owen was plagued with Injuries. As for Hazard, it seems like a village people case similar to Coutinho.

So because these great players you mentioned no leave england mean say make kane no leave england abi?

As usual he might go and flop so its better he stays there, man u should be able to buy him away from tottenham and give him a raheem sterling salary, that should be better for him, he is still the number one man in the english team and maybe any english club he will join apart from city and liverpool
Bros,let's be honest. Kane will not flop.

He is not depressed anything abeg, why won't he allow his wife get a maid after changing 4 maids in a year? He is just a vindictive and bitter person, he hates the fact that his wife is the one working and he is the one at home, he just wants to domesticate her by force nah, abi why else will he tell her to do it herself, someone that is working and obviously needs help at home.....

True and as a guy, I expect that her husband should be the caring and supportive one now since it's really not easy for a Lady to cater for the whole needs of the family. Let him start with the little chores and with time delve into larger ones. No need for ego in trying moments

Technical Assistant to Super Eagles Head Coach and Head of Scouting, Mr. Tunde Adelakun has disclosed that Nigeria has well over 460 players of Nigerian descent abroad, but it requires skill and tactics to make them switch allegiance, AOIFootball.com reports.


Adelakun, who made clarifications on the progress made in the area of scouting exclusively to AOIFootball.com, said they have made appreciable progress locating Nigerian talents both abroad and locally and recruiting them for the national team.

“We have made appreciable progress in scouting for players. We have a database of over 460 active Nigerians playing in various leagues abroad and the exploits of none of them goes unnoticed every week because we have a network of scouts who give us weekly updates.

“We also rely on our coaches based in Nigeria to look at our domestic league and report on players that might merit a national team call-up. We also now have a huge glut of diaspora Nigerians in various countries that we are tracking and working on.

“Our scouting project has been largely successful over the past three years since we started,” Adelakun said excitedly.

He, however, added that the task hasn’t been easy because going after players of Nigerian descent requires some level of professional courtesy and tactics or everything would go down south.

“It has not been easy. Obviously, talented players born and raised in other countries would be on the radar of their habitat association from youth level. After all, they must have grown up in their system. So, convincing them is a task that has always required tact. We can’t go in all guns blazing and claiming entitlement to them.

“We are not highhanded in our approach but rather rely on our strategies and powers to convince them to come and belong to the Nigerian project that we are building.

“We also show them good examples will be beneficial to us and that will enhance their careers in the long run. We have done well so far, as many of those we have convinced over time have indeed added strength and value to our national team,” Adelakun said further.

Asked about more quality additions like Ebere Eze, especially Chuba Akpom who in September told the press he’s now eligible to play for Nigeria, Adelakun said he and his team would follow the necessary protocol and carry out their investigations.


“We now have four months to work and will continue to search for players who are eligible. We, however, need to be careful and strategic and not just go for any player that is available and declares himself willing and ready.

“We have to be sure he has the skill in the area we need reinforcements. We have many players that we are looking at and we are working assiduously to make the best happen. We have a good track record so far and this encourages more youngsters to want to join this beautiful project,” Adelakun concluded
Chiba akpom isn't SE material

Subsidized Tuition for British Citizen in UK colleges still cost up to E10,000 pounds.
Why are you guys this wicked?

Those Scandinavian countries giving their citizens free quality education, do their leaders have two heads?

How many civil servants can afford $10,000 per year? How many of them make up to that?

Good day all and thanks for your feedback on my carpentry lists.

It is indeed a good time to be a football fan but a more auspicious time to display carpentry on the field of play grin grin cheesy

You can be rest assured that the Lord's work will be done. All players devoted to the art of carpentry will have their names recorded in the Sacred Book of Carpentry.

The list for the South-Africans will be uploaded tonight. I promise to give my all when compiling the list for the footballers from xhosa-land cheesy cheesy cheesy

Then, I'll do Cameroon tomorrow and then England in a few days time (this promises to be a special one and I hope a certain K.....kn won't come for my head) cheesy

read what online? so because he worked with ajax,betis and mallorca he should be handed the super eagles job without any pronounced experience in coaching?

aigbogun who flopped with the flying eagles wasnt he trained and tutored in england before he got his badges?

sunday oliseh after getting his batches coached a third tier club in belgium where he did decently well, moved to fortuna sittard in the dutch 2nd tier and almost took them to the top flight before he left. few weeks ago he turned down an offer to coach in the belgian top flight for reasons best known to him. his CV currently is good enough to secure top jobs atleast in the african continent and the middle east if he decides to apply for jobs again.

all i am saying is that finidi should start from some where first. coaching youth sides of ajax and mallorca i doubt will entice anyone to give him a shot in mens football
Dude, I'm not insulting you ooo.

But your problem is that you jump to conclusions.

In my last post on this Finidi matter, I said he should be tried with the U-17 job. Shikena. I never ever mentioned the Super eagles. I know he isn't qualified and mature for it. So why the hullabaloo?
