You can talk nonsense sometimes

safarigirl:
I hope he isn't quick to jump at the offer

Leicester is currently in a better position for UCL football next season than Arsenal.

That's too premature.

The EPL is a marathon not a sprint there is a long way too go.

Arsenal is still finding thier way and could easily get back to form. If Leicester loose form or just one or two key players that's literally the end of thier progression.

Arsenal is a far better club with historical and present continous top quality pedigree and a much larger quality squad.

chucs:
Hehehehehe! I guess u don't know that there are people who doesn't appear on Forbes but are worth more than some who are on the list.

For example ❓ give us one that's proven and established.

andrewbaba44:
So because aribo came from league 1 we should rate it abi?

Ogbeni the english league 1 is a nonsense league

Simple

We rate players first then the league second. And how do we do that, if you are good in a "nonsense league" according to you. Then you should be the stand out top performing consistently outstanding player in that league.

Flipping the proposition then it follows vice versa. If you are in a top league and club and you are essentially anonymous inconsistent and not outstanding. By your proposition that makes you a nonsense player, Ogbeni ❓ ❓

So does that mean that Aribo is a nonsense player - Ogbeni ❓ according to your blanket approach and appraisal.

charlesemeka85:
i saw the game and he played very well. you don hear iheanacho u jump come out lolz

Nobody has JUMPED UP but you and quite a few others that proposition makes many of you hypocritical with double standard.

There are hundred of Nigerian players across Europe when the score a goal literally nothing us heard. That's double standard.

The minute KC scores there is FIREWORK DISPLAY and euphoric celebrations here . This is guy that has scored how many in three seasons.

So my comment is tongue in cheek to highlight that blatant favoritism and preference. Bit it's not based on performance.

If any Nigerian player scores a goal in league one there will be no mention here. And if you do, the league will be castigated and denigrated as being too poor

Meanwhile Joe Aribo has come essentially from the league one so many have dismissed here.

charlesemeka85:
Shun Iheanacho still have it, he just need a club where he will be playing often

By implication that means every Nigerian player who has scored a goal HAVE IT. Whatever that means.

charlesemeka85:
Didn't Iwobi play for England at youth level?

It never occurred to you that the English FA swooped in to give him a call up to their u21 side when he was at the verge of been capped by oliseh then in the friendly get together at Belgium?

If England never wanted him why did hogson made an attempt to stop him at Heathrow Airport?

I really don't make claims that are not verifiable where another individual is concerned. Can you substantiate the bold it you are relying on hearsay.

Just by organisationl culture and established etiquette. No England manager would usurp the role of the Youth team manager and undermine all the scouting team. To pick out one player hr likes, it just isn't plausible.

Now consider the handful of games Iwobi played for England youth. Is that the characteristic of a player they regard as a major prospect. He was not called up for two years after playing in the U18's is it not obvious he was at that TIME not considered good enough.

You are speculatiing by your own self birthed understanding.

The screen shot from the Guardian one of the more reputable media outlets tells the story.

TheGoodJoe:
Being on the bench does not mean the player is not improving. Look at Foden in his last two performances for Manchester City which was absolutely brilliant even though he has been on the bench for years.

The point is too simple. Learn from a tactical manager
which you have agreed Rodgers is impeccable and you know his brilliance. Working with him for a year will do a lot of good than regular time in a conservative system. After that seek playing time.

You of all people should get the message.

Foden is enough for you to get it.

Foden is on an upward trajectory he is 19 and he is playing in the first team. He is almost the darling Of English youth football.

KC is now 23 he is not a youth player anymore, he has been diminishing consistent and continously for the past three seasons.

He is not even getting on the bench, what on earth is he learning.

There gets a point when you have to face reality and the reality is KC is not in the plans of the Manager.

charlesemeka85:
iwobi was on the verge of breaking into arsenal's first team and as well highly rated by wenger who disclosed his displeasure not having him to turn out for england instead of nigeria. at first iwobi didn't welcome the idea but his dad chuka, uncle jay jay and pinnick convinced him in playing for us.

if iwobi wasn't capped on time and he went ahead to have a breakout season in arsenal that season as he did he would been capped by england at the u21 level

The term verge is ambiguous and pregnant with meaning.

First of all Iwobi was nearly released by Arsenal at 14 and 16. He was not considered a big prospect or potential England international. England did not rate him to be plain speaking.

Amaju had little if any input, however, JJay his uncle had the over riding influence within the NFF and over him. He even lived in Turkey as a toddler with his Uncle JJay. That in itself gives you an insight into his closeness to his Uncle.

You use the term break out season again not sure what you mean exactly. Iwobi played 13 games that season 2015/16. That's not particularly outstanding but very promising for a young player trying to find his way in big club like Arsenal.

Nonetheless, everything started to happen for Iwobi almost immediately, once he played for Nigeria. That's a fact.

Football is always unpredictable and there are many boys who played for England over and above Iwobi. Those boys have literally disappeared into obscurity.

charlesemeka85:
just because they werent good enough for the english youth teams. even the likes of iwobi,moses,ameobi,aluko,aina,ebuehi at first approach turned us down. only a few like anichebe,george abbey,ekong and balogun jumped to the offer at the first contact with the nff.

this decisions are not easy to make because majority of these kids have never visited nigeria and the only nation they know is their country of birth, from a young age harbor the ambition and desire to achieve greatness with these european countries. the unfortunate ones rescind their decisions on time when it became obvious to them that breaking into the snr team of this countries will be difficult while the more talented and fortunate ones fight on to actualize thier dreams with their country of birth.

the likes of lookman,uduokhai,ejaria,ojo,ehizibue and akpoguma fall into the category of those who have woken up from their slumber to accept reality while the likes of tammy,tomori,torunarigha,billing and danjuma are the fortunate ones who are still fighting to actualize their dreams.

Correction l don't ever recall Alex Iwobi rejectinga call to play for Nigeria.

He actually played for Nigeria even before he had played any first team game for Arsenal. It was after his Nigerian call up that he started to play for Arsenal.

You can make multiple speculative deduction about that.

He wasn't even an established England youth international.

charlesemeka85:
Leicester City thrashed Southampton 9-0 at the Saint Mary's Stadium Friday evening which has helped the Foxes move to third in the Premier League table with 20 points and the impact of Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi in that annihilation has been highlighted by former Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers defender Stephen Warnock on Monday.

Leicester's massive win has the become the highest away win in the English Premier League.

Warnock was speaking on Sky Sports News as he reviewed the matches played over the weekend alongside former England's women international Sue Smith.

"The whole (Leicester) team played well. The defence, the midfield. Ndidi was so clever in the middle of the park.

"He (Ndidi) plays just like Fabinho at Liverpool. And when you have a player like that, it just frees other players to play their games," Warnock said of the Nigerian.

Ndidi was in action throughout the duration of the match. He has played nine league games so far this season and scored twice with one appearance in the Carabao Cup.

Fellow Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho is yet to play in the Premier League this season and has been restricted to just one appearance in the Carabao Cup against Luton Town back in September in which he scored a goal in a 4-0 win.

According to TheGoodJoe he is soaking up knowledge.

Football is a very short term career tomorrow flop can become today's Star and today's Star tomorrow Flop.

KC is fast running out of options.

Icon4s:
Why do you keep going back to 2009 when you can easily use more recent crops of 2013 and 2015 as example. Oga, this your stories are becoming trite.

Please start saying new things.

Things have improved immensely.

Particularly in our U17 we actually have boys and not men particularly in the last 5/6 years and it seems to be getting better undoubtedly.

Your right let's leave the set of Omeruo where it belongs our dark history.

Point taken with Humility.

Joebie:
Ebere Eze has been on our lips. He could have easily got a competitive call up long ago considering we've had only Iwobi as AM, when Mikel was observing his sabbatical from SE. There was no better AM out there. We cried Eze Eze.. today he is even perfoming better than then. He was devoted to Nigeria, and there is absolutely nothing wrong if he has second thoughts for whatever reason whether sensible or not. He is human to have second thoughts.

Agreed without reservation

I sometimes wonder how Aina felt after he was dropped for the World cup. Particularly when a then impotent Echiejile was chosen over him.

safarigirl:
So, now it's about money, not career growth anymore? Is it not komekn that preaches about career growth being more important than monetary gains? Or does that apply only to the homegrown lads?

You people must be confusing Eze with Eden Hazard, because I don't see how he will start making all this money simply for agreeing to play for an overbloated English team. He would be a compound fool to join Abraham and Tomori on England's bench, because that is where he will end up. Even more, Maddison is playing the position he wishes to occupy, some people would call such a choice international career suicide.

The only thing komekn knows how to do is crucify homegrown kids for making certain decisions, while excusing his innit boys when they do the same thing.

Now, Eze is making this decision for his career, the same BS he sold us with Abraham. So, we should be chasing players that could switch upon us the moment England whistles at them? We are not doing that poorly in football, to start chasing after every other English player that's down on his luck. These excuses are useless.

For someone who has passed a law degree l am baffled. You murder substantive dialogue, you trample the logic of rationality and throw circumstantial probability to the dogs, you are neither methodical or measured in your approach.

I have called you out so many times but you shamelessly go EVASIVE. Once again l challenge you to give one post not two where I have denigrated Nigerian born players with bigoted double standard in making negative prejudice based deductions.

Your approach is to rant with emotive sentiment based rhetoric with in depth rancour. Unfortunately devoid of any substance.

But why l really am at loss, l could go into a lot of talk on paigets theory in psychoanalysis. But that would be an exercise in futility, as l dont know you and probably never will.

After all l am by your definition a senior citizen the possibility does not exist.

That being the case; Why your head deh Hot why u deh vex like this, Whaaaaten l do you ❓

So once again as l have done time without number, without response. l challenge you lawyer to substantiate your allegation in bold.

Please don't use conjecture or presumption birthed from your self and your own perceived notions. Just quote me verbatim please.

Finally, l would not describe Eberechi Eze as being down on his luck.

Otherwise happy Sunday.

Barryseal:
Oga, just hear yourself. You're claiming Eze is holding out to play for Nigeria because of the endorsements he could get from commercial sponsorship. That's a very childish way to analyze the situation, to be honest.
Do you know Aubemeyang is top 25 most marketable ATHLETE with a good cross over appeal ratings. Incase you don't know, this guy plays for Gabon. Can you locate Gabon on the atlas if I challenged you?
Mohammed Salah's endorsement with Pepsi, Vodafone and the likes runs into $70 annually.
Wilfred Zaha is doing well with his many fashion endsorments.
Your inclination about Eze's international future is rank amateur. You're better off not saying anything than coming up with waffle like this, as if you're preaching to primary school pupils.

This is a faceless forum and why do you feel the need to MISREPRESENT, MISLEAD, MANIPULATE, and TELL BLATANT LIES.

First of all where did l say specifically as you have said in the bold. If you cannot show the screen shot of my post. You are a blatant shameless liar.

Secondly please don't use conjecture and presumption to deduce this is what I am implying and or mean. That's also untruthful.

There are too many people here who are supposedly educated yet find it easy to conjure up facts from nothing or make claims about other contributors.

To date not one person on this thread has been able to substantiate one single allegation claim against me. They all go EVASIVE.

You lack knowledge and understanding.

This particular discourse emanated in entirety from the erroneous proposition presented by some here. That Eze playing for Nigeria will add value to him and give his career a boost. Which in itself has come from unsubstantiated news reports that Eze haa declined an invitation and or is now having a rethink .

It is that context my responses are made possibly prematurely.

But moving on to the new subject matter you have raised related but not the same.

First of all l used players in the same age range who are very progressive in thier careers.

That's why l used Rashford and Alexander.

You deviate from the substance you are comparing Salah a Liverpool player who is arguably one of the best players in Africa currently a player nominated for the Ballon Dor. Is that how you do comparison?

But let's continue on this trajectory nonetheless. Unfortunately you have presented an opinion not substantive fact. As a consequence questions are raised that you will need to be answered. Otherwise we will be building the current trajectory of this discourse on spurious fallacy.


How much did Aubmeyang make in commercial market based endorsements last year ❓

You claim that Salah made $70 l presume million last year. Kindly substantiate please ❓

Wilfred Zaha l know well now tell me the value of his commercial endorsements please ❓

Before we can progress please answer the questions above factually, but not on spurious fallacy but on substantiated facts please. He

Just for the record and context below screen shot of two-fold my posts that instituted the initial subject.

Humility017:
the problem we often have with players that metamorphosed from this set up when they get signed by foreign clubs...is not talent wise not even age self...it is basically indiscipline and not being ambitious....
just take a look at nwakali, nacho and even success.... this guys some years back shows glimpses of talents and potentials

what now happened?
they got carried away by the new environment, the freedom and all in the western world...and simply forgot why they left the shores of Africa in the first place...

my only fear for this players lies in this simple truth.....

if only they can keep being disciplined, keep their head down and stay ambitious.... they will grow to stardom...

Unfortunately this is not unique to Nigerian. Players but it affects all players.

It takes discipline and yes HUMILITY not to believe your own hype. The temptation to loose focus is very high. Having a supportive and strong family behind you is VERY IMPORTANT.

Can imagine a 16 year old getting 15k a week with all the temptations it brings.

I am less forgiving of Nigerian players who after struggling climbing mountains of contention to get here. Very quickly forget all the suffering and people relying on them and even those who supported them.

I am most impressed by Ndidi and Chukwueze by thier Humilitiy, discipline and diligence. They are the opposite of Nwakali and Success.

Now money is not the root of all evil it is the worshiping of it. There are many pastors that are preaching with thunder and lightning. Just give them £2k every week and the boot neck U TURN they will do will shock you. They sef go begin carry smallee forget church deh Go club.

edi287:
All I'm saying is the financial angle Komekn is giving isn't as far fetched as some are making it out to be.
Rohr and NFF deserve some of the blame too. I repeat there was no reason inviting Chidiebere Nwakali when Eze was putting in some good performances. He should've been invited and given at least 10 - 15 mins.
I'm disappointed the guy is now having thoughts but I did warn that this could happen if we didn't move quick enough.

I used the somewhat light hearted analogy of betrothal in Nigeria to create understanding. But it seems to have been too much for many to grasp.

Doing the traditional introduction for marriage is just the prelude. It's not the marriage and if you do an introduction and then are undecided by virtue of no action i.e. you haven't the paid bride. Another suitor is welcome to overthrow your position.

He was given a preliminary insight an introduction of sorts to the SE but was never given any INVITATION. He kept waiting indeed that wait has exceeded two years.

What more does he have too do and what do you expect him to think

My deduction by speculation not substantive fact just by circumstance and the nature of the NFF. Is that Rohr made the recommendation but other within the NFF had other ideas. And thier conflicting interests have made them push him to one side.

How on earth can you justify the invitation of Nwakali and the exclusion of Eze. It's simply bewildering.

darkelf:
Exactly. Especially those ones lucky to make it to Europe with better living conditions and better feeding.

Trust me, they'll get bigger. Their epiphysis haven't fused yet.

So effectively by implication what you are saying is that a boy who was born and brought up in Nigeria particularly from socio-economic deprived background.

Can easily shave off some years from his age and still be classed as U17.

If you had the baseline data used to make the deduction on then it very plausible if not easy.

Nonetheless all MRI scans are indicative can only determine degree of bone fusion and age range. Not your specific age.

Icon4s:
Well, you have a point there.

But watch how these kids will metamorphose in the next 2-3 years and folks here will easily erase these memories and call them 30yrs olds. Some things one reads here sometimes. Some people do not cease to amaze

This may be true.

But that doesn't mean to say that these deductions are without substance.

Look at a number of our players who claimed U16 in 2009 and you notice very little change. Shockingly some of them passed MRI at the time.

Go and look at Iwobi at U16 and look at him now there is clear and obvious difference in the way he look facial skeletal and otherwise.

What is annoying is the hypocrisy we all know that age cheating is rampant, endemic and wholescale across every sector in Nigeria.

Why then do people get up in arms when the issue of age cheating arises, in boisterous denial and hostile indignation.

Yes we now have MRI which has limited the degree of reckless and blatant age cheating that used to go on for years.

That doesn't mean it has now been eradicated yes limited but unfortunately until we have automatic birth data capture. It will always exist.

ChrisKels:
What Forgiveness did is simple and well defined. Forgiveness is the root of this evil(tribalism) in here.

Wow !!! This early Sunday morning see what is coming out of your mouth.

How do you jump to such a conclusion, is bewildering.

Because you have a perception that doesn't make it a substantive fact.

I think you should really stop getting so heated it's a faceless forum for goodness sake.

Icon4s:
Are Nigerians kids more malnurished than those tall Malian and Niger kids?

Me think it is more of a genetic than nutrition factor.

Nigerian origin kids here are not small and skinny at age 16/17 they can contend physically with full grown men.

A classic example is Uche Ikpeazu at 17 this guy was already 6'3" with legs like tree trunks.

Barryseal:
Oga, forget long grammar. You can't confuse me with that. I'm not sparsely educated.
The post I quoted was very specific. You said Eze will play for the Super Eagles when he secured big contracts and endorsements. The pointer you threw was very clear and you viewed the situation from a position of prejudice, assuming the narrative that the marketing value of the African player is not up there with his English counterpart.

I cited examples where African born players get fat paychecks, with their values skyrocketing and equally comparable to the average European player. Some could transfer for world record fees.
Wilfred Zaha was quoted for how much by crystal Palace again?

Bottom line is that Eze is not waiting for any fat paycheck. If he plays for Nigeria today, he will still get transferred from QPR for £20-30M. Adidas and Nike will still sign endorsements with him just like they did with Aubameyang and Zaha.

You are educated, conversant and informed.

Why then can you not make a simple demarcation between player valuation transfer fee and personal terms as against player branding and commercial marketing endorsements. They are two distinct but complementary components.

My comments relate to the latter, as well educated as you claim to be the substance of the discourse seems to have left you lost.

Below two screen shots of two young players in the EPL. That highlight just one commercial endorsement not the entirety of thier endorsements. These endorsements can exceed players terms.

ChrisKels:
The article said he has become impressive since deployed as a CB. Now the question is, how many matches did he play as a CB prior that article for u to label him consistently outstanding?

Also, how good was he in his preferred RB position before those two impressive outings as a CB?

Final question, since those two indicated matches, how good has he been abi the two matches were a one off(fluke)?

Lazy man if you are truly interested do some desk top investigation and find out.

Don't rely on what l say.

ChrisKels:
The image u shared clearly stated it was after two matches, yet u talking about consistent outstanding performances? So ur deduction is based on these two matches?

So in ur own book, two matches is enough to call a player a consistent outstanding player huh?

Na wah for you

Do you want me to post comments on every match he has played since he joined Sheffield Wednesday.

Considering what his manager, team mates and fans are saying about him. Consistent continous outstanding top level performances.

Humility017:
Komekn subject those words you wrote and put it up with Yaya toure achievements being an ivory coast international....

you think international football does not count ?
c'mon.... stop saying this...do you how rangers fans so much celebrated Aribo call up to the Nigeria team and how Gerald used the call up to berate former Charlton manager....?

even ranger fans counted it to be a major strike as they now have 2 internationals in their team......

international football counts in a player rating... they can enjoy some privileges being English but still they get more respect as internationals in the long run

Yaya Toure achievement were anchored on Barcelona and Manchester city not the relatively poor perfoming Ivory Coast.

His career progression was progressed on outstanding top class performances in European competitions not AFCON.

But then come to the question of lucrative marketing endorsements, how much did he make.

Look at what Adidas pay Pogba or look at the young Alexander Trent and you discover endorsements can exceed your salary as a footballer.

I am talking about fame transferring to monetary value. Not just popularity on the fan portal and or social media.

You should understand these basics of the commercial dynamics of football marketing and player branding.

Unfortunately you just don't seem to get it, then when I say you lack knowledge you get all offended.

Barryseal:
This is a false narrative. Being African didn't stop Arsenal paying $65M for Aubameyang ,£72M for Pepe. Keita went to Liverpool for £45M and Koulibaly will be the most expensive defender if he transferred today. Chukwueze's buyout clause is close to 100M.
No club will undervalue their prized asset because he's African.
We are no longer in 1995.

You are changing the substance of the discourse entirely with a completely new subject matter.

The question emanated from the proposition that playing for Nigeria will give Nigerian origin players forward leverage in thier careers and much needed marketing boost.

That proposition will only be true if the players in question is not doing anything of substance and us more or less obscure.

For players who have recognition already playing for European youth national teams and or already making waves in thier respective club and league. It simply adds no value.

However, playing for a major European nation will add much needed marketing value and lucrative commercial endorsements. Consider how much Nike pay Rashford England international and it brings some context

As you probably should know Pepe and Aubmeyang were both born in France.

In that context l am not sure how much these players get in terms of commercial endorsements from the likes of Nike, Adidas, etc if anything at all. That would be reflection of having less commercial marketing value within the West as African players.

We are not talking about transfer fees and player valuations alone.

Utonwanne:
So how will not playing for any national team enhance his value? Because as it is now, England never made any move

You answer the question with your own question.

Playing for the SE If you are of Nigerian origin and already making headway in your career will not add any value to your career.

If you are in obscurity it may give you much needed publicity and recognition.

jihday:
because na long thing, get player's approval get English fa consent then FIFA will approve. It takes months

It doesn't take months.

The onus is on the FA who wish to change players allegiance to substantiate his position submit the required documents and it's just administrative.

However, if your administration is not up t scratch and things are done properly then it could take months.

Go and find out why Aina clearance took so long.

Joebie:
Such is life.
Iorfa is not crying about but still in his professional career.

Things can change. Minds can change. We are not talking about robots here

This is the hypocrisy with the NFF, why wait for a player to blow.

Dominic Iorfa had already blown when he committed to the SE. A player that was wanted by several EPL clubs but loyalty to former manager Kenneth and Wolves made him reject those offers.

After the politics of football seen him frozen out of Wolves. He failed to sign with Mendes as some have spuriously speculated.

Well where is he close to the top of the Championship, where all the 5 teams at the top section are divided by just three points.

But the question is not which league you are playing in but what are you doing there. Are you outstanding for club and league and consistent with too perfomances❓

What's the general opinion. See below

charlesemeka85:
The Divine And The Sublime: Ovie Ejaria


There were a few murmurs when Ovie Ejaria signed on deadline day that he was a bit of a pointless signing and our priorities should’ve been elsewhere. I don’t think there is anyone thinking that now.

He has been in imperious form this season; he just makes playing football look so effortless - which is even better due to the fact that, if you saw him walking down the street, the last thing you’d say his profession was is a footballer. He’s gangly, slender and skinny and he seems like a very quiet, shy and timid lad off the pitch - but boy oh boy does his football do the talking on it.

His ability to take the ball in the tightest areas and somehow dance past two or three players is astonishing. I genuinely don’t think there is another player in the Championship quite like him.

For any non-Reading fan potentially reading this and thinking “he’s only got two goals and one assist, he can’t be that good”: a) go and look at the quality of those two goals and that assist and b) please, please, please just go and watch him for a full game - then you’ll see why he has us Reading fans shaking our heads in astonishment for 90 minutes every Saturday.

There are at least three or four moments every single game where you just have to stand there in astonishment and laugh at how on earth he just did what he just did - it’s just not fair on everybody else really. His body feints, his pirouettes, his ability to drive forwards with the ball and dance pass players with ease: it’s just lovely to watch.

His close control is unlike anything I’ve seen in the Championship for a very, very long time. The referees should genuinely start checking for glue on Ovie’s boots because the ball just doesn’t leave them - it’s magical.

Not since Gylfi have we seen a player that gets us off our seats as much as Ovie. The players must love him as much as us fans do, too. If they’re ever in a bit of a pickle and find themselves under a bit of pressure, just give it to Ovie and he’ll get you out of it, no worries.

He’s also extremely intelligent and has a brilliant football brain. He knows exactly when to slow it down and exactly when to ramp it up - and he can do both of those things at the flick of a finger. He’s a player that can create something out of nothing, and talents of that nature are like gold dust these days.

The moment of play on Saturday against Preston , when he brought it down on the edge of the box, weaved his way past three players before getting cynically barged off the ball, was wonderful. And he does that minimum four times a game, every game.


You all should know by now, I love John Swift, and for creating chances and getting assists there aren’t many (if any) better than the former Chelsea man in the league - the stats show that. But in the last couple of weeks, Ejaria has overtaken his midfield maestro partner as Reading’s main man. We are blessed to have two such technically gifted players in our ranks.

At this point in time, he is honestly a class above everybody we play against. Defenders are frightened of him, while us fans sit in the stands chuckling at how this lad has ended up playing in a Reading shirt. He is just so much better than us and so much better than the Championship.

Honestly, they should start checking IDs before Reading games because some of the unadulterated filth that Ovie produces should have an age restriction on it. He is saucy, he is naughty and he is all ours for a mere £3.5 million. I’ll say that again just in case you think you misread it - Ovie Ejaria is ours for just £3.5 million - how good is that?

A genuine wizard plays for Reading and it won’t last forever, so let’s just enjoy it while we have the privilege.

He's also a very nice kid sincerely.

safarigirl:
it behoves on he who avers to prove.

You might not be a lawyer, so, you might not be aware of this. Even if I do my homework, it shouldn't stop you from enlightening this thread, since you made the statements

I would not tell you if l was.

What do you want to know his contract terms ❓

safarigirl:
which big contract did Dominic sign? which future is he even committing to who?

Your a lawyer, l presume you would research and look on the internet as you claim to do. Lawyers should be substantive in thier approach as well as circumstantial.

As your rhetorical question implies a contrary view.

So you do your own home work.
