liverpool and reading agreed on a 3m pounds permanent move before ovie joined the championship side

Speculative contract nothing is signed until hat happens he remains a Liverpool fc player.

somehow:
You replied a post from tbaba about a player that didn't play football for 2 years that it was true and I quoted you by saying Rohr has been doing something similar too

All of a sudden, you became ignorant and twisted it to just being clubless.

Tbaba 's post was as clear as daylight
NOT PLAYING FOOTBALL is not limited to just being clubless alone, you can be in a club and not feature for them which is a public knowledge to even kids.

Now let me end this hypocrisy of yours once and for all

In the 2 legs we played against Cameroon, how active was Ezenwa clubwise yet was in goal?

How active was him clubwise when he went to chan in morrocco?

how active was he when he was in goal against Madagascar?

Now tell me, how different is that to Late Keshi using Ruben Gabriel which is equally distastful?

So why the sudden ignorance and hypocrisy from you or you didn't know Ezenwa was 99 percent inactive clubwise for more than a season?

I just had to do this because other ostriches were already joining you in this show of shame.

Back to ignoring hypocrites

Seconded without hesitation.

kellycute:
even if it was agaisnt luton and burton, it doesn't change the fact that nacho has scored 2 goals in 2 games so your stylish mockery doesn't add up. 2 goals in 2 games!!!. He will still score in the next game when given the chance to play.

Using your self birthed "mathematical football theory"

Therfore by your theory KC has played 51 EPL games for Leicester city that equates to 51 goals.

TRUE or FALSE ❓ ❓

Now take delusional misguided fanaticism and tell us how many goals KC has scored in his three seasons at Leicester.

Now wake up l don't know which Kwale stong weed you have smoked that realigned your brain. Then use cold ice water to wash your head l think it's on Fire.

Meanwhile happy Sunday.

M7even:
Very wrong my brother. I'd search for that article for u now

There is a big difference in perspective.

You rely on the media.

My perspective is from direct personal contact over the long term. Barkley Dad is not my friend but l know him very well difficult for us to associate he is unfortunately an alcoholic.

M7even:
What exactly is your point, your critics of what defines knowing a person has no minimal or substantial value....

The whole proposition of knowing in this context can be from a distance, can be close and can be by accidental stumble.

By having read about him, I took an immediate interest upon the character, thus knowing him more through that.. I never need to allude to speaking directly with him to say I know him.

Barkley, I paraphrase, said he could play for either Nigeria or England. This was in 2013. Now what is twisted about this that you cannot unwrap?

I concede reluctantly that the word KNOWING cam be ambiguous.

Nonetheless, my understanding of KNOWING is clearly different and because l do know him. As a consequence my perspective is not from the media.

I have known Ross since he was about 12 and his family.

Danielnino00:
Ejaria called back to Liverpool? lol..
Klopp didn't see Harry Wilson good enough for the first team talk less of Ejaria..

It's obvious you don't know Liverpool football club.

Look at the guys playing on the wing Mane and Salah players who hardly ever get injured. Them look at the Back up. Wilson has limited if any opportunity.

Now let's get to the middle of the field. Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Lalana, Milner and the OX.

Some of them are already above 30 and some unable to make the transition like Keita. Then look at Ovie had a great season so far.

Ovie has got w good chance if claiming position. IMO.

charlesemeka85:
That kid is super strong and robust. I have had the opportunity to see few of his games this season and I must confess he impressed me so much.

Even with the robust nature of the championship he still have that confidence of showing off incredible skills every weekend.

I pointed it our few weeks ago after watching him and Eze that he seem more complete and versatile than the qpr play maker.


Ovie reminds me of a young Paul pogba emerging from man united's academy many years ago but he is more pacy and hard working than the French midfield maestro.

Ovie is too good to remain in the championship beyond this season. Even if he can't get an epl team to sign him he should move to the French or German league. Kid is super talented

He may be called back to Liverpool fc that will not be shocking, it's probably more likely now.

On the other hand he's a great guy humble and diligent, well liked by all the coaches.

charlesemeka85:
U think say na everybody wey dey here dey watch Ball?

The championship lacks quality but very physical and intense. The league itself is like a war zone where there is little room for pretty football which is the reason they usually frustrates epl teams in cup games.

I never believed that a player like ejaria who looks fragile could cut it in the championship but his dominance so far in midfield battles this season have proved me wrong.

I don't think the term is quality but technicality.

But it's also a paradox, because the Championship is so physical it's very difficult to play technical on the deck skilful football.

However, it's also the best place to do it because if you can some how overcome the, intensity speed, hatchet men, the kick and follow, fight for the ball mentality, as well as the guys trying to break your legs and play skillfully when you go to the EPL you will find it much much easier.

It's the perfect training ground to excel in any other league.

Classic examples, Tomori, Maddison, Holgate, Tega, Mings, Gomez , Ademola, Pukki, Vardy, etc, etc.

Very soon it seems we will have Ajayi in the EPL he was the most outstanding player for Rotherham now at WBA. And in his best position CB.

I will not be suprised to see Dominic joining him in the EPL too.

safarigirl:
if we qualified, the likes of Kalu, Chukwueze, Dennis, Osimhen, Ebuehi would have been in that Olympics team, not the carpenters at this tournament

Kalu hmmmmm ke.

DrLikita12:
That’s the most important question and I don’t have any answers. We will probably have to learn lessons like this over and over again before people actually understand that we need to change.

My very basic view is that until the people change we are stuck with this situation for a long time to come.

The rulers of a nation often reflect the people of that nation.

Humility017:
Yeah...sure.
You go uniben?

Unfortunately did not have tjat privilege but my older brother did and a lot of my classmates. My Uncle lectured there as well as way too many of my cousins and so it's a place I went to quite a lot.

I was sent screaming and crying to university in England.

Kbs468:
Then certainly he is of the Nigerian root courtesy of his Dad.

The ROSS belongs to his mom's Surname or there about

His Dad is mixed race with a Nigerian Father and a white mother. His Dad is half Nigerian in thay regard but Ross has a white mother.

His Dad unfortunately is an alcoholic and has little or no understanding of Nigeria. Ross himself is typical scouser and knows nothing about Nigeria and has no affinity with anything Nigerian.

So that idea that he looks up to Victor Moses is just not true. Even the Nigerian and African players in Everton don't really jell with him from an African perspective.

Ovie na Warri Jaguda.

I told you ages ago he is deceptively strong, I've known him since he came to Liverpool at 16.

Then e be like boga fish.

DrLikita12:
The problem is that it’s not just football, it’s in almost every sector. We have normalized dishonesty and we will continue to pay the price.

Politicians lie, civil servants fake their ages, coaches take bribes, we defraud each other, put ‘our’ people when we get somewhere at the expense of more qualified applicants, etc.
We should even ask how some of these coaches got/continue to retain their jobs.
It’s an attitude we need to get rid of as a country.

You have summarised one of the core aspects of the NIGERIAN PROBLEM.

Were do you start ❓

Kbs468:
Maybe ROSE confused you. Please it's ROSS

So hopefully it isn't a Balderdash when you search him out again

I wasn't confused in the slightest.

I know Ross Barkley well wellu.

tbaba1234:
Spot on, especially the "not physical for African football" bit. Pure nonsense.

People just don't know how physically intense and competitive the EPL is as well as the Championship.

Look at Etebo struggling to make headway in.tje Championship our best Midfielder.

Then along comes essentially a league one player and claims position IMMEDIATELY.

Don't people read the game why did Musa struggle in the EPL or should we say fail.

Danielnino00:
Sadly, the u-23 was Nwakali best chance of reviving his club career...

I wonder how he got selected.

Hmmm Eee get as e be we are Nigerians we know what can happen in the NFF.

darkelf:
Shey boys dey talk am here.

To think some were saying he is the needed no 10 for the SE

Sorry not some. MANY

Just extreme Delusional nonsense.

The writing has been on the wall for three consecutive seasons not just one, Not good enough.

tbaba1234:
And please we need to stop the Nwakali hype, the boy is an average player. Same goes for Azubuike.

Nwakali and his brother given national invitations but Eze they are still trying to assess his quality.

What do you call that by the NFF.

Joebie:
For those who got sentimental because Nwakali scored a fk...

And when l questioned his selection l was called HATER.

Then TheSuperDelusional Hallelujah praise singers band kept screaming his praises to the extent of projecting he will be in the SE World cup Squad.

This is the SPECAIL TALENT.

It's simply impossible for someone who has not played competitive football for near 10 months to sustain any kind of impact in a competitive international tournament.

charlesemeka85:
you dey talk of faleye? what about nwakali who have been inactive for the past 4-5 months prior to his invitation to the team?

Actually closer to 10 months

Humility017:
HE did well as a director of sports in Delta State... but dude lost himself as nff boss...
so ashamed of his antics..because he is a product of my school and department...

south south folks ehhh i barely trust them with governance they often mess themselves up

So na uniben you go ❓

Deh give me wahala like dis.

ChrisKels:
U are trying so hard to be knavish but u really aren't smart enough. U gave me an unwarranted insidious jibe, then turned around to trigger my serotonin with the line "I am not sure", then expect me to fall for it? lol u are quite funny. U can only succeed with those tricks on the witless fellows in here, I mean people like the dunces that liked this post, not my kinda guys. Like I said earlier, u are an imbecilee for WRONGLY labelling me a chameleon.

Please forgive me but in all my studies l have not come across the word imbecilee is it French❓What does that mean.

I want to believe that you have not stooped to the level of gutter language and vitriolic rhetoric. And

I want to believe that within your many changing colours that you have changed and become civil and a gentleman or is that a COLOUR CHANGE too far for you.

M7even:
I knew Barkley in 2013.....this was during an interview where he said he could play for Nigeria as well as England...

This was after Nigeria had won the nation's cup with Victor Moses who had played in the junior English teams being an inspiration for Barkley.

You said you knew Barkley Ok, Did you conduct the interview ❓ Because, what's the relevance of your statement " l knew Barkley in 2013"

Then your following statements tell us nothing of substance with regards to the interview.

Kbs468:
The very ROSS BARKLEY of Chelsea and formerly of Everton.

He opted for England over NIGERIA because of his divorced parents since mother is British.

Read about him.

Who told you that Balderdash.

andrewbaba44:
Lol see who dey talk

Someone that is speaking off point to back off his negativity for the super eagles

Smh

I don't see any prejudice and or bias but just plain speaking without frills.

Critical analysis has become HATRED.

What I find prevalent on this forum is a blatant double standard. When certain people myself included critic player who is Nigerian born and home grown it becomes NEVER ENDING HATRED.

When others in the say, "Hallelujah we follow blindly without reason camp", say the exact same thing, it's reasonable loving considerate appreciation.

I find the whole thing such a comedy.

charlesemeka85:
According to information from CIES Football Observatory, Norway is the most preferred destination for Nigerian footballers.

Of the 327 expatriate Nigerian footballers in 65 associations out of 98, 24 ply their trade in the Norwegian Leagues.

Samuel Adegbenro, Babajide David (both Rosenborg), Jack Ipalibo (Strømsgodset), Akeem Latifu (Mjøndalen), Ifeanyi Matthew (Lillestrom), Leke James (Molde), Igho Ogbu (Sogndal) and Afeez Aremu are some of the Nigerian professional footballers that played for Norwegian clubs in 2019.

Nigeria national-teamers Fegor Ogude, Anthony Ujah and Nosa Igiebor plus former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel began their careers abroad with Norwegian clubs before transferring to bigger clubs in Europe.

Surprisingly, Nigerian players fancy playing in Bangladesh and the South Asian country is the second-joint importer of Nigerian players along with Scandinavian country Sweden (16).

At least fourteen Nigerian players are on the books of Portuguese clubs including Super Eagles stars Mikel Agu, Nwankwo Obiorah, Tyronne Ebuehi, and Uche Agbo.

Turkey and Latvia are joint-fifth on the list of Nigerian expatriate footballers, with thirteen Nigerian players each playing in the countries.

I am not a fan of Portuguese football in my personal experience it's VERY CORRUPT.

And youth players are treated like cattle to be sold.

Utonwanne:
Who is Rose Barkley?

Liverpool born Nigerian origin player at Chelsea Ross Barkley who knows absolutely NUTTIN about �9Ja

Kbs468:

But we can't blame him for he is a journalist and has to air his opinion.

I personally dislike Players using NIGERIA to play Ludo whenever they are being approach too

It often irritate me that they never learn lessons from DELE ALI, GABRIEL AGBOLAHOR, JOHN FASHANU, CARLTON COLE, UGO EHIOGU, ROSE BARKLEY (though still playing) etc Who never played enough before being dumped

First of all Barkley, Dele, are still very much in the England set up.

Carlton, Ehiogu, Fashanu, Agbolahor, came in at a time when there were far better players. It's very simple they were not good enough. England will not select players who are not perfoming at club level. As we are inclined to do.

Putting your view in its proper context can you tell me what lessons they can learn.

On the other hand what lessons can Nigerian origin players learn from the way the outstanding Sone Aluko was treated and as well as Hope Akpan after injured his shoulder on national duty for the SE.

The guys were summarily dismissed from the SE without explanation.

Please don't act like the SE is all about equity and fair play and everything is above board.

One thing you don't have in the English FA is blatant open season corruption for places.

So it's a question of which poison you prefer the racism of England FA or the corruption, nepotism and alleged tribalism of the NFF.

It's it not so black and white open or close unless you want to be hypocritical bigot.

Utonwanne:
Jonas hector was German no. 1 leftback even after Koln was relegated to 2.Bundesliga. A certain Jack Butlant keep on receiving invite from England with stoke being relegated.

Andrew Robertson was bought by Liverpool after Hull was relegated. Defoe left relegated Sunderland to AFC Bournemouth on a very fat juicy contract.

All the players you have talked about were outstanding for club and league.

Unfortunately Collins has been neither even in the SE he is an obvious weak link.

Danielnino00:
How many training sessions do they have with Rohr every year? there is no time to teach them that.. They can hire personal trainers to teach them that...

In the national team,the focus isn't on improving individual players abilities but to utilize it well....
Kalu is the only one of our wingers whose cross are good enough... Simon too isn't bad... the rest are just there..

IMO both of them inconsistent and in that regard poor.

You can not be on the Championship as a wing back or winger and cannot cross the ball. You will not last.

Danielnino00:
the full backs are the ones whipping in the crosses for England...
Our wingers aren't good crossers of the ball. and it is not Rohr's responsibility to teach them that.. U have to learn it and practise it..

Aina is fairly decent crosser of the ball.
