Subzero047: Agents and football influencers pitch players and sometimes exchange players not only scouts, football is like every other enterprise if you have somebody speaking for you at a higher table your chances of moving are very high, normally Watford's normal route of getting a second keeper would have been to move to Preston or Sheffield Wednesday and Okoye's normal progression as a young Dutch keeper would have been to move to Ajax or Psv from there to French league and from there to the English league, when moves like this materialize out of the transfer window nonetheless then an intermediary is involved in this case I say Pinnick
Subzero047: You dey understand well so? Ask yourself what influenced Watford's decision to sign Maduka, he is not even in form and Watford don't need a new keeper at the moment
Joebie: for 3 years Canada has been chasing Ugbo did Canada say kpem? Before oga coach start to talk na after Ugbo annouce switch to Canada. See scouting process!
I will not put anything past our administrative style. We are Nigerians we know how we do things at home.
Modified I have been searching Google News (Canada English), I can't even find anything on Canada chasing Ugbo prior to the recent news.
if he had gone ahead to play for Nigeria you still won’t hear anything and you’ll think Canada didn’t do any chasing.
humility33: See persistence, pursuit and commitment
Thats something the nff need to employ in pursuit of foreign born kids while we harness tge home groomed talents
you can’t put us on the same pedestal as Canada, they aren’t even giants in North America they need all the players they can lay their hands on. This Ugbo is warming the bench for Onuachu who’s kinda surplus to requirement for us. So why should we chase him?
humility33: Anyone who thinks with both sides of his brain will not exonerate NFF from this mess in some cases
when the NFF went to beg Abraham did you people not insult them? Do you still want them going about begging players? Or is the Billing embarrassment not enough for you?
chrisooblog: Throw back Inter Milan vs Enyimba in a friendly Ronaldo de lima was making one of his attempted comebacks injuries weren't kind to him at all.
I remember this game, enyimba lost by 6-1 I think. Imagine enyimba still getting the support they had under Uzor kalu, They’ll probably be one of the best teams in Africa right now.
Philosopher1979: Kelechi nwakali is developing nicely in SD huesca and the Spanish second division. I saw his last match and he played well. If he continues like this for a year or two he will make good progress. The former coach of Watford is his new coach in SD huesca. He is progressing. Anyway I hope ished he remained at alcorcon as he was their saviour there but then he is making a lot of progress in SD huesca. As per this afcon I think he should be left alone to develop his career in SD huesca but he should be in contention for the world cup squad. African home grown talent need a place to develop when they get to Europe and the Spanish second division is a perfect place for him.
y’all have been saying this for a long time now. I know at a point you’ll all agree that no be very youth team stars go eventually turn senior star
According to Ivory Coast coach Patrice Baumelle Wilfried Zaha has refused his call-up for November qualifiers "because he always comes back home sick after every call-up".Baumelle also added that Zaha "is pondering his Ivory Coast NT future".

‘I’ve been following Nigerian football since 1950, blablabla’ oya come and prove it. What tournament is this ? Who was the opponent? How many players can you name?
andrewbaba44: Chukwueze and ejuke are still regarded as average players apart from some people here ,we need to be sincere they are still average players ,do they have the potential to be world class ? Yes they do but they need to improve ASAP before they both clock 25
Osimhen is not 90 percent world class but still above average at least ,he needs to keep working hard and consistency is needed for the next few seasons also
Iheanacho is a little above average but dude is not helping himself
Musa is an average player Iwobi is an average player
Ndidi is world class according to me but according to the football world he is not but above average ,maybe because he his yet to play for a big club
I know many of you will come for my head because the truth is bitter ,but it’s fine
elyte89: D moment rohr even confirmed DT some powers above stopped him from substituting iwobi for musa against argies den I knew truly,he doesn't have 100% power over d team
But if na one black coach make DT statement.. Dis place no go settle @ all
Ppu saw it and pretended as if its nothing since na a whity
Used to think forgiveness was making up stuff but the moment Balogun confirmed he was dropped from the starting 11 because he protested against some injustice plus Operanozie’a case then I started seeing some sense in what he’s saying.
