Comentators asking why someone as skillful as Kalu wasnt in Russia few months ago

BascoVanVeli:
What has Ndidi done? Why do u guys love the name Ighalo so much? Half the team has been poor.

"When our opponents are tired out"?

What if they don't get tired out?

Icon4s:
Too loyal to ''his boys". That aside, tactically he is ok.

edi287:
It's too defensive. Etebo should be starting instead of Onazi even if it's a 3-5-2 he's playing.

Humility017:
beside Samson siasia I think manu garba is one of the most underrated cadet team coaches we have in this country.....
his attacking style of football is mind blowing
I pray he succeeds with these lads and attain great success.....

gamaliel9:
He seems to know how to assemble them on short notice sef...the guys i watched yesterday were so good...no naija fb u17 can match those guys oooo

My first gut feeling is that he is not good enough but that's too simplistic, although that's what you would like to hear. So I will go deeper essentially because I know Wolves.

There are two main issues and they are not entirely all about football.

Since Nuno the new Portuguese manager came in with the under pinning of the super agent Mendes. There have been multiple complaints about the unofficial ownership of Wolves by Mendes.

If you know anything about the business of football you will be able to understand the business model at work.

Essentially mist of the English players were frozen out of Wolves. They had to make way for better Portuguese players to come. Unfortunately there is a lot of argument about if they are better or not. But that's an argument with no end. One thing is clear Mendes is laughing all the way to the bank.

It's somewhat baffling Iorfa was winning MOTM awards as a teenager for Wolves. And was supposed to be thier star player come up from the youth ranks. It has been so bad they were not even allowed to train with the first team not even the U23. That's unprecedented in English football.

So why is he not playing first because he is not Portuguese and signed to Mendes. Then secondly there are other players possibly better than him.

Would Wolves be in the EPL without Mendes and all the millions invested probably not.

But my comparison is not with the experienced Portuguese international players in Wolves. But the players he is being passed over for in the SE.

That's the more pertinent question ❓

The media clips for those who may think I am making this all up.

Considering the football cloak and dagger politics going on at Wolves. It's very difficult to get a clear picture why he is not even on the bench. Admittedly he is in the main squad for the season. Will he play possibly in the cup games or if someone gets injured.

Otherwise he knows he's not wanted at Wolves by Mendes and his Manager Nuno.

andrew444:
He think he his the only person that follow the championship
I have asked him 2 questions but he is yet to answer

andrew444:
Why has Dominic Iorfa not make wolves bench this season in their 4 Epl games ?

komekn:
Iorfa agreed, however that doesn't mean Semi Ajayi is better than him. Ajayi is in the SE because he has created network and leverage after playing U20. Otherwise he is far from a standout defender player in the Championship.

But tell me the players that had an outstanding season last year. Aluko took the money when he moved to Reading albeit a big chunk of money after being hailed as the best midfielder in the championship.

Otherwise right now he would be in the EPL with Fulham who did not want him to go.

Sone Aluko is not a one season player he has been consistently giving top class performances both in the EPL with Hull and in the championship.

The best defender Liam More in the Championship plays for Reading, who refused to sell him to Brighton. In this regard Aluko has been one of the bright sparks for Reading also.

His team Reading didn't have a great season doesn't mean Aluko was poor and or unimpressive last season.

Earthquake1:
Jeezos Christ!! What sort of formation is dis?

edi287:
Nobody to control the midfield...very risky.

mank1234:
Actually 3 slots for WAFU. Unfortunately (the strongest zone), Nig, Gha, BFA, CIV are in in zone B which produces one slot only. WAFU Zone A produces 2 slots and coincidentally that's the weakest WAFU zone.

The justification for such a stupid skewed arrangement is the need to develop smaller countries football. How in hell could all the West Africa soccer Prezi accent to this highly repudiating and biased arrangement

who will screen the defense?

August/Sept. GRE is not smiling atall. I'm waiting on my AW before posting mine (I'm guessing that would either add flavour to it or complete the masacre). The summary of mine is, just like black panther "I froze".

How do we connect? I am new here (as a Nairalander). I have been enjoying Nairaland as a guest for over two years and this lovely thread made me join just now. #Fall2020

afroxyz:
Nope. My point is for someone that got into Stanford, he shouldn't be discouraging people because the school is 'competitive'. He is already implying that the applicant is not good enough hence suggesting schools of a lower-tier. I find it absurd. Are we going to The US through school or are we going to School in the US?

afroxyz:
Are they more competitive that the Stanford you got into?

kekenation:
Yeah am here

forgiveness:
Lies everywhere.

They are regulars now, so the matter has been overtaken by events. But you don't know what permutations played out before selection. You actually do not want to know. I for one will not be the one to go back into the murky past. Because no one on this forum is ready to open s buried can of worms.


However, given the same opportunity without prejudice. I wonder if Dominic Iorfa, Sone Aluko, would not be regulars themselves and other more deserving players, etc etc

ChrisKels:
I just hate yeye invites bro. With all due respect to Nwakali, he aint as good as Ebere is presently, why invite him over Ebere? That's my anger. A mere performance against a holidaying ATM is not enough to gain KC Nwakali any invite abeg. Dey are all our youngsters and I dont love anyone more than the other but this yeye preferential treatment is annoying.
