But it is high time Musa and Ighalo retires nah

We didnt qualify for the world cup again so let them announce their retirement to allow us build a team with this young lads

How old is Ronaldo, Ibrahimavich, Dzeko, Benzema, Modric etc, etc.

Youth is not the sole component for quality.

In a saner clime, Salisu should have been locked up in jail with the keys thrown into the mouth of a whale.

As for bosso, I wonder how a complete and total loser like Bozo is still getting called up to Manage the u20s... SMH

It says something about the core values and practices of the NFF.

Left to them Salisu would have never have been indicted.

Danielnino00:
Philip Cocu is another name I saw among the list..

Was he not at Derby County and left with the club at the bottom of the Championship.

I would not say he has Great pedigree although he did ok at PSV.

timay1:
They won't go to court.

Their response is a normal PR response from organisations. It almost like a generic response for organisations.

Nwakali accused them of paying him late and withholding his wages, this is even provable with his bank's statement of account showing the dates of his wage payment.

Only this one accusation alone will put them in trouble .

I'm sure they are probably settling with him as we speak.

It really depends what is on his lowly contract with Huesca.

I suspect they gayve enough clauses to protect themselves and will not be in a position of disadvantage.

When the midfield maestro signed that contract he was probably on his knees, begging for a contract figuratively speaking and will have been willing to sign anything. That means it will be a take it or leave it situation. Contract Terms will not be to his advantage.

He couldn't even hold down a place in Porto B and was in free fall. Huesca were doing him a favour, they did not rate him enough and sent him on loan almost immediately to a lower Segunda club side.

You would expect a certain degree of knowledge based reporting from the Vanguard, but no, what we have is crass ignorance and possible misrepresentation of facts.

The term armoured tank in itself is ambiguous and creates confusion.

You can't take control of a MBT and set it in fire with AK-47 and or rudimentary light weapon it's simply IMPOSSIBLE.

If you have a properly armed MRAP the same follows you can't take it over with light weapons.

The unknown but highly misguided gun men are just that men with guns. They don't have ATGM's , or any other similar to weaponry.

My suspicion is what they seized and destroyed was a LAM Lightly armoured vehicle, without the expected standard weaponry .

Which would probably be the Otokar Cobra or more recent KIA light armoured vehicle and the Isotrex Phantom.

An armoured vehicle without the right commensurate precision weaponry is just a big tin box i.e. a toothless dog.

Below a MBT ( Main Battle Tank) and a Isotrex Phantom 2.( light armoured vehicle)

osimehn lack manners I must confess

Growing as a poor kid from the street doesn’t make one lose respect for elders. He really need to work on his manners

Couple of questions.

Did Ikpeba say something that was untrue, was his criticism without merit was it unfounded.

Humility is the pathway to greatness not pride and obstinacy , they are actually the opposite.

Joezinho:
We must be wary of the dangers of a single story. We never heard from Huesca to know what transpired. He read his contractual agreement, he signed it. He read the terms. He should have held his own side of the agreement.. He didn't report to the club 10 days after afcon. That's unprofessional.

Social Media Court is always laden with sentiments, emotions & outright falsehood.

Clubs very wisely put certain clauses in contracts to create a get out option if a player becomes liability.

comodo:
Nwakali was just like a man that's working for a company whereas he never liked the companys policies. No way you will give your all. More reason why his statistics while at lowly alcorcon was way above his statistics while with Huesca. The young man soul no dey that club again.

Since he left U17 he has done nothing of substance.

Multiple opportunities but unable to make the grade. It's like when a student keeps failing he blames the teacher in all the schools he has been too.

Hanibal:
Nwakali released a statement on Twitter a few hours ago, detailing his ordeal with Huesca.
I hope you have not read it, but if you you've read it and you still continue to tow this nonsense ( contract termination due to quality) line of yours, then I must say... You are SOULLESS, and worse than a Demon, and there's no iota of humanity left in you

I have not read it.

Why not post it here and then tell me why I should believe it ❓

TFLASHOGEE:
he him self lacks drive to push forward and couple with pride he has been having issues with his previous clubs also if you do listen to brila FM udeze narrated how an encounter with nwakali shows how disrespectful he can be with his pride which made him not surprised about him having this kind of issues and also advised him same way we do on here keep your head calm and push to aspire for better things and not feeling comfortable playing for lower team's because we clearly know he has the potential

Who is we ❓

Too many of you get gassed about youth football exploits and anchor ⚓ your concept of quality on mere and inconsistent youth potential.

Since Nwakali left youth football in 2015 he done nothing and you are still talking about potential.

Potential has a shelf Life.

BascoVanVeli:
Why would anyone pay for something they can get for free in a few months?

Did u care about Isaac Success value when he was at Watford. Did u ever mention that they valued him? Professional goalposts shifter like u

You are changing the goal posts.

We are talking about Nwakali the exceptional midfield maestro to many here.

And the context is his poor performance which is reflected in his very poor wage ,second to the last lowest paid player in Huesca.

What does lssac Success contract have to do with the discussion it's completely irrelevant.

TheSuperNerdpost =111683589:
Comedy King of the Kom-Minion Kingdom, we are in April... His contract originally expires in June but right now it has been terminated because he and Huesca are obviously not seeing eye to eye and it all started when he refused to extend his contract last year.

The current issue between both parties even reached the doorsteps of the Players Union in Spain who backed Nwakali.

Right now, he being a free agent even before June due to Huesca terminating the contract early is best for both club and player but especially the player. Nwakali can move on and Huesca can also move on although they get NOTHING for him like they initially intended to. Lol. So it's actually their loss financially.


It's always a waste of time explaining things to you. But then I don't do it for your sorry stone headed self. I do it for those who read so that they learn.

You take delight in drinking from the well of dollopheadedness. So keep drinking, Hater-King.

TheSuperDelusional trying to turn black to white .

You should hide your befuddled mind in shame but no you must have to justify the unjustifiable with your befuddled viewpoint.

I leave you to argue with yourself.

BascoVanVeli:
This issue has been going since the afcon ended. Even the players federation in Spain stood up for Kelechi.

If they wanted to get rid of him like u said they wouldn't have put a price tag on any loan move he would have made.

As far as his salary I don't get u at all. If salary means quality in ur language why were u always hard on isaac success who was one of the highest earners at Watford when he got there? U remind me of skip Bayless. If u don't like someone u will say anything to put the person down and when u get proven wrong u will never admit.

Everything in context.

When you are the lowest paid person in a football club and you are getting barely €3k, it tells you how much they value you.

Before the season has ended they tried to offload him without success for essentially peanuts €80k but nobody wanted him even for next to NOTHING.

One the opportunity arose, before the season has ended they have terminated his contract. What does that tell you❓ Add to that they tried to illegally terminate his contract before the player's union got involved.

They have now terminated the contract most likely using a clause in the contract that allows them to terminate before the season.

What's the relevance of Isaac Success, to this discussion. Issac success was overweight , Indisciplined and a complete waste man in the EPL. Whether he earned 20k or 3k it is of no relevance.

Audi is to VW as Lexus is to Toyota . ..... Using Audi is like using lexus for Uber . Hoeever , u can use VW but it requires more maintainance than Toyota .

That's an assumption based on emotive preference not proven.

Go to Benin City, Edo state and ask the driver's why 80% of taxi are Audi and Volkswagen.

Reliability,fuel economy and resilience finally most parts are OEM unlike Toyota where 90% of parts care cheap copies from all over the globe including Aba.

This one obviously cannot read. KOMEKN THE ULTIMATE COMIC RELIEF

Maybe your concluding comments where in Spanish .

Gracias a Dios que finalmente deja estas cucarachas. Es hora de reanudar en otro lugar.

Misinformation personified.

Jargozaza:
The NFF must continue with NFF/Zenith U13/15 Programme and The La Liga/NPFL 15 league cause it is way to go to help our youths football players like Olakunle Olusegun Akinwunmi Amoo Chidera Ejuke Tolu Arokodare Adebayo Adeleke are some of the players the competition produced

Do you know there are many individual top clubs that have produced more from thier football academies than what a whole national tournament has produced.

Having a tournament doesn't create quality it's the coaching and facilities allocated to youth football players that does that for you.

Then you take the players to international tournaments like the Santander La Liga Promise U13. Then you can make comparisons and see how you are progressing.

TheSuperNerd:
Kelechi Nwakali is officially now a free agent. Contract with Huesca terminated.


SD HUESCA TERMINATES KELECHI NWAKALI'S CONTRACT

The club ends the contractual relationship that linked the Barça entity with the footballer, and which expired in June 2022.

The Huesca Sports Society has terminated the contractual relationship that the first-team footballer Kelechi Nwakali maintained with the Barça entity until now. The club has communicated to the player the decision to terminate the contract that he joined both in this campaign and expired in June 2022.

SD Huesca wishes Nwakali the best in his professional future.


Source: sdhuesca.es


Thanks goodness he finally leaves these roaches. Time to resume elsewhere.

You are misrepresentating the FACTS as usual.

He did not leave Huesca his contract was Terminated and he was let go because they simply don't think he is good enough.

In reality they wanted to get rid of him much sooner, but nobody in the Segundo wanted him ,so Huesca were stuck with him.

Consider how desperate Huesca was, season has not even ended and he has been kicked out of the club unceremoniously.

He was the second to the last lowest in paid player in the club.

Chai...you get time.
Person talk say Calvin and Bellingham better pass Ndidi,you still dey reply am

Would you like to place a bet against me and whoever wins donates the proceedings to a charity chosen by the majority hear.

I will bet you that in this transfer window Kalvin, Declan and Jude will move to bigger clubs for way more money than Ndidi.

I actually doubt if any serious bid will be made for Ndidi this summer.

A reflection of your performance is in the amount of money and interest that is generated by top clubs wanting to buy you .

forgiveness:
He is far better than Declan Rice and the aforementioned names.

Look at Ndidi statistics in the seasons 2019/20 and 2020/21 they are not the same albeit stats are indicative but there is now regression.

In addition Ndidi in recent times he is not expected to just be a one dimensional Defensive Midfielder, he is expected to contribute more.

Look at Youri Tielemans why is he in the to buy list of so many top clubs. Look at the interest that Kalvin Philips, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham are generating .

There was a time Ndidi was wanted by several top clubs but in the current times that's no longer the case.

I wonder WHY ❓

Barryseal:
While we are here spreading the red carpet and kicking the asses of our average dual nationals. Who see us as nothing but after thoughts or spare tires. Africa's greatest, Samuel Eto is giving them the middle finger. Preferring to get his hands dirty and raise footballers from the suburbs. That's how it should be.
I will swap Eto with Pinick in a heart beat.

You are blinded by deep seated prejudice and bigotry garnished with crass ignorance.

Look at the bold, how did you arrive at that conclusion ❓❓❓ How many players of Nigerian origin in England and or Europe do you know To come to that conclusion.

Finally, I've met Eto and spoken with him when he was at Everton. And that's not his mindsets it's yours.

andrewbaba44:
He is better and more consistent than Calvin Phillips

Sometime ago You judge Leicester city by their poor form this season ,but you can judge Leeds where Calvin Phillips plays

Rice is not better than ndidi

Bellingham is not a DM ,[b]English midfielders are bang average [/b]apart from Henderson

I gave you just four Midfielders Kalvin Philips, Declan, Jude and Henderson.

Jude is versatile and plays a multiple roles in midfield including the Defensive holding Midfielder role. He isn't pigeonholed into just one position a measure of his quality.

Ndidi will not currently make the England team.

You have made a wide general statement that all English midfielders are bang average. And if that's the case what are our Midfielder world class.

mostob:
Andrew... we're not.
When last did we have anything relating to U17 and U20 in Nigeria?
We need to invest the same energy we use in approaching these FBs to invest in our grassroot football too. Our HGs are the foundation of the team, any FBs that wanna play for us should make up his mind.
Look at how fast Plumptre's switch was....
The way Ekong stepped up to take the penalty..
Balogun going to Ghana's dressing room to congratulate them.
Those are the kind of FBs we want not those that are just playing for playing sake or just to boost their career.

You are miserably prejudiced and bigoted.

What amount of energy is invested in getting Nigerian origin players in Europe to play for the SE. Please tell us, you seem to know.

When Ghana wanted Hudson-Odio to play for them, the President gave him audience in addition the creme de la crème of the entertainment industry engaged with him, inviting him to multiple events including to
thier houses. Making him feel very welcome.

The best quality and consistent players are the foundation of any team. Not the place of birth.

The people looting, raping and destroying our nation where not born in Europe but in Nigeria. The only political appointee to resign from office from a completely false and CONTRIVED allegations in Nigeria was born in London. I am talking of the former minister of Finance.

The reality is we invest little or nothing in approaching Nigerian origin players. If anything NFF officials even ask some of them for inducement, I am taking from first hand information not hearsay.

England football clubs invest 100 of £millions in young players to create the next generation of world class footballers. What is Nigeria investing in❓

Commitment is not measured by your misguided subjectively biased units of measurement.

forgiveness:
Ndidi will definitely make the English team.

No he will not.

With respect he is not better and or more consistent than Declan Rice, Kalvin Philips and Jude Bellingham to mention just a few.

I will not mention a possibly older Henderson at Liverpool FC.

zuchyblink:
We were doing better before the Advent of abroad born players. Our abroad born players are left over players and mediocre players. We performed well even without dominating CHAN and Champions league. I stand with Amokachi and I have said here earlier.

Amokachi unfortunately is part off the rot and decay that corruption has caused the NFF to be where it is today.

Let's start with England.

Not one of the current players in the SE are going to make the bench, that's the reality.

So what's exactly your point, calling quality players left overs because of they didn't make the English team.

Then to add insult to injury garnished with blatant prejudice you call them Mediocre.

Then in the same vein you will call KC one the best finishers in world. You are highly misguided.

JohnBullMySon:
Alright. Answer my question and don't run away oh.

We are not the only African teams with FB players.

Why are Cape Verde, Gabon, Morocco, Senegal,etc playing well if FB players are poor in Africa

Even our female National team players have been brilliant. They have US born players in the mix too.

Were Onuachu, Sadiq, Uzoho, Iheanacho etc, born abroad too Why didn't they bring their A game?

Oya begin answer

Shameless bigoted double standard prejudice by quite a few here.

They label them FB and l will say there is a certain degree of dislike, but why I am not sure.

BascoVanVeli:
Is this Amokachi's son?

I remember them when they were in Everton Academy quite a few years ago.

It could be said they were given access on account of Amokachi. They were released Everton, just not good enough to be diplomatic.

He has tried to open many doors for them but they have never been able to rise to the occasion. Not surprisingly they are playing Local football.

andrewbaba44:
How many games have he started that you are expecting 20 goals ?

I will always remind you of last season where he was Leicester city top scorer in all competitions with 19 goals , you didn’t praise him but you hide your head in shame

I don't enthrone mediocrity and don't praise sing when there is nothing to praise.

But I do give Measured and objective commendation when due.

My comments given according to you " with my head in shame"

JohnBullMySon:
In addition,

That's the reason why he's a good finisher but his first touch is poor

Can you explain to everybody how someone can be a good finisher but after 20 games has scored just three goals in the EPL.

Please

andrewbaba44:
How many 90 minutes

When he was banging the goals last since you where in limbo hiding your head in shame

Your talking balderdash and codswallop as usual.

We are talking if this season that's coming to an end not last season or the season he scored one goal after 30+ games in the EPL.

In football it's always present continuous.

andrewbaba44:
I will say this again

Sadiq didn’t have much chance though ,but he is not better than awoniyi or onuachu he made the squad ahead of

Agreed without question.

There is a preoccupation with former national youth player's and giving them almost automatic access to the SE.

We don't look at current outstanding consistent performance in club and league as the ⚓ anchor for any call up.

JUMO95:
If you can't be faithful in marriage, what are you doing being in a relationship ? What are you teaching your kids.
Cheating is the height of disrespect to any spouse

Thats your perception of Western based norms and values. And it's not universal across the West.

It's really a question of perspective. Because for instance look at Europe the UK is very much different from France.

Almost every French president has a had a mistress and the cincept of mistress / concubine has muted acceptance in France but not so in the UK .

I have not brought any Christian and or Islamic perspective because your approach is clearly not religious.

Probably birthed from ignorance unfortunately.
