There we have it

Not sure why Jamilu is there he didn't play all last season from injury and he has never played a full game this season.

In addition he very far from being oustanding.

Joebie:
You still want his stats?

If Bendel insurance and Warri Wolves are playing and your get the player statistics of the game. It's essentially pointless 😒 because the football quality is very poor. Will you then say because the stats are good in that game, that player should be invited to the SE.

Do you think 🤔 if some teenagers scores 10 goals in local Sunday league of game, Chelsea are going to immediately run🏃🏿🏃🏿 to buy him⁉️

You need to see matters in objective context 😞then make an informed decision. You decision is emotive preference not quality objective appraisal.

Finally believe it or not many NPLF teams like Enyimba, Awka Warriors will flog Chavez FC. That's the perspective.

AndSunGorilla:
What do.you think about Victor Boniface's invitation, is that well deserved or would Adebayo been more deserving?

Why would you compare Adebayo to Boniface, it's s like comparison of wine🍷to Champagne 🍾🥂, why ⁉️

Boniface reminds me of Wilfried Bony and Yakubu , strong powerful, good technique but not very fast and suspect stamina.

Will it work in an SE lineup with very agile, fast forward players.

One observation V.O. ,Awoniyi and Boniface are all straightforward number 9's quintessential traditional strikers. VO and Awoniyi are a lot faster than Boniface I think as well.

They are not versatile and cannot play anything beyond the number 9, position, so how will you accommodate three players who are strictly strikers?

England has Rashford, Raheem, Wilson who are quite flexible able to play anywhere on the forward line. Add to that Saka, Eberechi ( sadly) and you see adaptability and versatility within the game. If you wish to change tactics.

charlesemeka85:
Nwakali’s stats no Dey today?

Chavez FC is flying so high and are clearly oustanding and exceptional, not just won a single match in the Portuguese league yet and are at the bottom of league.

But that not withstanding Nwakali is making waves and is a top class performer.

cromz:
If anyone here has a guideline I’m keenly interested and ready to go into football agency.

The key component to be a good agent is simply "NETWORK" , getting FIFA registration in your country of abode is fairly straightforward.

Brandiebird:
Let’s take a minute to remember the 1000s of white women who were duped by Nigerian men who left them the minute they got their right to remain documents.

Not 1000's

But 10,000's not just white women but Nigerian and black women.

But there are also many Nigerian men duped by Nigerian women in marriage fraud.

Viccur:
I'm curious guys. Do players get a share out of their transfer fees. For instance, Osimhen is sold to Man city for £100m, does he get a percentage out of the fee asides his personal deal with the club?

In general a base rate of 10%, however, there are exceptions that will depend on what was written and agreed upon in your contract.

As a result you may get substantially more.

Marjoribanks:
Study Study Study!!!!

Your can't study negotiations it's IMPOSSIBLE.

Why because they are done behind closed doors 🚪

Marjoribanks:
Ndid actually agreed personal terms with NFFC then Bayern came with a loan offer and Ndidi agent started talking to Bayern leaving NFFC in cold. Unfortunately, LCFC was only willing to sell not loan. Bayern only wants a loan deal suddenly Paulinha came into the picture and Ndid was left out cold. The agent wanted to restart the negotiation with NFFC but NFFC has moved on to Sangare.
Also LCFC has already signed the Ghanaian Fatawu has Ndidi replacement thinking he would leave. It is going to be a long and lonely season for Wilf. So unfortunate!

Look at the level of detail.

Were you a party to all the negotiations, it seems you eer the lead agent .😨😨

ecolime:
A friend just got an international remote job but he is worried about communication with Native English speakers.

He aced the 4 stage interviews and has been given an offer. The pay is good considering the current exchange rate. He was offered $42,000 per annum.

Presently, he works with an audit firm and makes N1.9M NET monthly plus other side businesses.

The role was strictly for Inbound Pre-Qualification and Sales when he applied but at the final stage of the interview, adjustment was made in the JD which includes outbound sales.

Please note he understands and speaks English fluently but he has issues with thick American accents. The position is a Business Development role and it involves conversing extensively with Americans.

Any advise for him?

Very simple may seem ludicrous but it's perfectly rational.

Spend a huge amount of time watching Hollywood and USA derived films, you will be able to key into the differing accents from West Coast to East Coast , North and South.

And if you can learn a bit of Spanish, l started speaking Spanish from Living in Miami.

M7even:
One thing Komekn fails to understand is that there is a whole lot of advantage to being a black player born and bred abroad. It opens the door faster for you. Look at Iwobi who even injured and still could move to Fulham. Then look at Ndidi and Kelechi still struggling to leave for the past months since Leicester was relegated. Not to even talk about their white counterparts in the team like Barnes, Madison, and Tielemans.

Now take a look at Cyril Dessers and his Nigerian colleague in Cremonese. Cyril is a regular at Rangers now but I hardly hear about the other guy who performed better than Cyril Desser at Cremonese

To be born abroad is an advantage. You just need to be at least very average to get a team. Unlike players having to strive from Africa to conquer the world.

Iwobi was not born in the UK 🇬🇧 but Nigeria.

Iwobi has been largely a top quality consistent performer for Everton arguably the best player they have. His contract expires in months not years 😔 best option to cash in, while they can. In addition Fulham is looking more stable than Everton currently.

If Everton survive relegation it will almost be a miracle.

Ndidi has not been a consistent performer indeed if you are to be honest he has lost form over the past two seasons as well as value. Add to that question marks about his long term viability ( dubious age) .

Ndidi may get a move but as a stop gap squad player in a good team. Or in a weaker struggling team with little money and options. He is not better than Tielemans or Madison. Be honest with yourself. I think he should stay in Leicester improve himself and hopefully they will get promoted.

KC is not better than Barnes that's a fact. Last season after 28 games KC scored 4 goals and Barnes after 34 games scored 13 in addition Barnes is a winger.

And you are here claiming discrimination you are being emotively biased.

maidaboi:
thought you said no EPL club will want to sign him?

I'm not sure who you mean.

If it's KC , I did not think any serious minded forward thinking EPL club would sign a low quality striker like him, IMO.

Nwamazi8:
Negotiating for €18m on a player on the last year of his contract that clearly wants to leave isn't the smartest move by Leicester...they should take what CP are offering and move on.

Not necessarily.

They don't want him to leave, because it's going to be very difficult to buy a quality player for that same amount to replace him. They don't have a great squad.

They want to get back to the EPL, and if they loose anymore players they could get stuck in the Championship and worse still get RELEGATED to league one.

Look at the history of Wolves, Sunderland, Stoke, Watford, Swansea, etc

Amedino99:
I'm not sure he would be allowed to move. Very little time to find a replacement for an essential team member.

One year left on his contract and he is not signing 😔

That mean he leaves on a FREE and Everton don't get one penny. Or cash in now and get a substantial sum.

In my opinion they MUST SELL.

Kog45:
Happy birthday big Shege..Legendary is 71

He looks really well .

And he is supposedly the same age as JAGABAN 🤔🤔🤔

daveP:
The coaching dilemma is why these elderlies that we saw 2decades ago still running affairs on the coaching scene

We saw it with Onigbinde, then Amodu, now it is Eguavoen. Who's going to be so easy for this terrible nff guys to be at beck and call in next decade?

Now ordinary license is causing brouhaha for Enyimba and Finidi sotey Asst sef is just existing for such cases. It's hilarious and sad. A big mountain to climb.


Academies just popping up left right centre. But coaches with the basic requirements are nowhere to be found. Can't even have necessary documents or requirements. Smh. We had to be given a shocker outside the shores cos we are Terrible at keeping rules all sector in this country.

I was on the beach over a week ago ⛱️ watching a local academy training on sand and the players were all claimed to be U17 but it was HIGHLY UNLIKELY .

The training was not very good to be honest lots of endeavour but very little structured coaching.

do4luv14:
What about Abbey George, our first Oyibo

What about Tunji Banjo

TheLoneCitizen:
This is it.
Tuchel doesn't see Kimmich as a DM so asked Bayern to replace him so he can move higher up the pitch.

Bayern drew up a three-man shortlist and Ndidi was third.

Due to funds Bayern refused to firm up interest.

Ndidi got desperate and tried influencing the move on SM.

And you sat down with the Bayern Munich recruitment team to decide this, did you 🤔🤔🤔

Napoleon55:
U live alone in a world where honor is a distant memory.
U have no regards for integrity.

Whenever Nwakali's name is mentioned,u rush with your ammunition to shoot him down,u poured out your cruelty on him endlessly.
Your disdaind on this young black man trying to make a living in a white man's world is well documented,is that not shamelessness?

You must talk about your own finances because u constantly scorn Neakali with his meagre wages.
Let us know how fat u earn and better than him that warrants such intense dislike constantly.

Answer me first then I will tell you some of ur lies,is fair enough

Integrity is about truth, honesty, consistency and principles.

But Double standard, bigotry , hypocrisy and prejudice is what you represent.

I've asked you to tell me one LIE, but you still fail are unable to do that.

What I do is challenge the never ending misinformation, disinformation, misrepresentation, crass exaggeration, where Nwakali is concerned.

In challenging that nonsensical notion that he is not a top class player with some oustanding exceptional ability. You then take violent offence.

In reality you are the one telling Blatant LIES, attempting to paint MEDIOCRITY as EXCELLENCE you exemplifiy the Nigerian problem. Promotinf mediocrity in governance over true excellence. And then you complain when the country turns into a cesspool of corruption and lies.

You then in turn take offence at the TRUTH, monetary reward is a valuation indices that is linked to football ⚽ quality performance no matter what you say.

What's perverse and absurd there are a plethora of Nigeria Midfielder doing way better than him , BUT U NEVER TALK ABOUT THEM.

Hanibal:
Sometimes I struggle to make sense of some sentiments here.. it's like the ideology of the "Obidient" movement all logic is useless.
This Nwakali guy played in one of the poorest/the poorest team in la Liga 2 last season.
That team got relegated... from that very poor team, Nwakali got a move to a team in the Portuguese top tier (for context the 6th best league in Europe)!
Yet people assert he hasn't made any progress... Were they expecting him to move to Real Madrid or Bayern?
Make it make sense

Statistics are indicative and not conclusive.

For instance the Scottish Premier League is rated 9 in Europe. But it's nowhere as good as the Championship in reality. Take out Celtic and maybe Rangers and they are on the level of English league one or two debatable.

Where would you rather be playing for Leicester city, Southampton and or Leeds United as opposed to playing for Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League

Players follow the money and the money follows the quality players.

Look at the average be weekly wage of Chavez FC it's £1.5k a week in Leicester city it is £50k a week , even the bottom team in the Championship Sheffield Wednesday it's £10k a week.

That in itself should tell you the story of the bottom half quality of the Portuguese league.

Nwakali has left Ponferradina a near bankrupt Segunda division club paying peanuts to go to a supposed higher club , league yes but club debatable. To earn even less than what he was getting before from peanut 🥜 to crumbs 😑.

But the club he has gone to has less quality than Ponferradina seemingly.

charlesemeka85:
haba, Fulham good oooo, the only team porto can’t beat in the epl is city, aside them if porto meet other big teams in epl 7 times atleast them go win reach 2-3 times

U forgot that sporting Lisbon knocked high flying arsenal out of the uel last season

Championship Nottingham Forest ( at the time) beat high flying Arsenal in the FA cup that didn't make Nottingham forest better than Arsenal .

Napoleon55:
It would be easier for heppopotamus or a behomoth,even camel to pass through the eye of a needle than to get u to accept that u are wrong,
how much more that u have tell a lie.

However,if u show me how u are better than Nwakali with d proof of how excellent u are in your own career,and how huge u earn because of ur very high quality,
which gave u d right to consistently come against him with hash criticism,contempt and disrespect.
Then I can make a list of ur lies and other despicable things u have said

You have no shame petty compulsive LIAR.

YOU ARE NOW EVADING and running away.

Once again I challenge you to state just one not two LIES I have said according to you .

BUT YOU JUST CANNOT

Why would I want to talk about my finances on a public forum anonymous or not to what purpose to impress you 🧐

TheGoodJoe:
Does not change the point. Some thought he was good, when consider what there were up against. Even his coach left him on for 90mins. That shows he was not terrible.

Finito.

I did not say he was terrible.

I simply said essentially nothing to report. It's a poor quality game with very poor low level players and his team got pulverised 5-0. Have conceded 11 goals in three games, lost all games played and are at the bottom of the league.

And you think he was ASTONISHING.

TheGoodJoe:

Just accept that it is astonishing that despite Chaves being awful and his teammates performing poorly, Kelechi Nwakali was able to perform well.

It was a good performance among poor low quality players. In what context 😨 your team gets beat 5-0 and you say a player was ASTONISHING 🧐is that not delusional 😟

Now let's look at the entire quality of play both teams would get flogged by a English league two team. So if the quality is so low what then is the purpose of statistics it becomes inconsequential and academic.

Once again you are seeking to misinform, statistics are indicative not conclusive. Statistics tell you specific acts of play ,but cannot tell you the quality of this acts of play.

How good a pass was, how good a take on ( dribble) was, how good a shot was ( weak, accurate,etc) these statistics in a poor game are just academic.

Finally not everyone thought Nwakali was great using your unit of measurement ( statistics) not mine.

mostob:
Osimehn wouldn't start for a championship club.





Fulham is better than Porto.



Make I continue sir?

You forgot to add the proviso AT THAT TIME that time was 2016/17 and 18.

It's like saying in 2012-2019 Ivan Toney was poor and low quality and would not get into AT THAT TIME any premier League club. That clear cut off objective FACT in your small mind constitutes a LIE

Again in 2015-2018 summer Fikayo Tomori was very poor and not good enough for the SE, AT THAT TIME

But football ⚽ is dynamic you progress or you retrogress, and it is not static and it is TIME related. All assessment in football are TIME RELATED, with the proviso AT THAT TIME

But you think that is a LIE ,how do you reason 😡 ❓

Finally, an opinion is not a LIE.

My opinion AT THAT TIME when Fulham FC where in the Championship by player comparison Man to Man was and still is that Fulham were Better.

That discussion started with a comparison of Zaidu to the Fulham left back Antonee "Jedi" Robinson who I said was comprehensively better.

Please continue intellectually not emotively if you can

TheGoodJoe:
You are just regurgitating what I said and shouting pure lies. LOL.

Kelechi Nwakali has made good money and has his focus on making a name. Whether you like it or not, it can not change facts.

By the way, Kelechi Nwakali joined Arsenal as an 18 years old and signed a professional deal.

Actually he was 17.

And Dr 2 know what we're the contract term for what was a youth contract ❓

What was the basic minimum transfer fee, the performance milestone for further payments, what was the agreement official and unofficial between Academy (Nigeria) the Agent (player representatives) and family.

When you have put all that together then you will.niy be talking a load of utter balderdash and codswallop.

TheGoodJoe:
You are just ranting and don't know anything about Kelechi Nwakali's contract. I repeat, he has made lots of money that if he calls his career off today, he is made.

He may not have made as much as big stars in the game but he has made something and still young enough to sign a retirement package.

What he is focused on is making a name that his talent can give him. He is ready to take low pay now to push his career to make a name.

Below is a house he built in 2018. Your mock will not take away God's goodness in his life.

You have no idea .

No understanding of the business of football on the table and under the table. Do you know there was a transfer fee to a Local Nigerian academy. You clearly don't understand .

TheGoodJoe:

He might not have made money as big as the footballing Superstars, but for a young man in Nigeria that was earning over 10,000 pounds every week for five years, I believe, that is beyond the dreams of many footballers and workers in Nigeria.

This is the person claiming that I tell LIES.

From what I can deduce, you are saying that Kelechi Nwakali signed a professional contract with Arsenal FC on a wage of £10k a week for five years. When he got signed as a youth player from Nigeria at age 17 .

You are even more delusional than I thought, telling Blatant LIES to suit your false narrative.

Napoleon55:
My conclusion is that u are suffering from delusional disorder.
U have an unshakable belief in your self birthed lies and false dogmas

Napoleon55

I challenge you to name one LIE and or UNTRUTH that you attribute to me, just one not two .

I challenge you

Theben:
This is one of the reasons people like Tinubu would continue ruling us in this country. We continously support mediocrity. Someone who recently could not qualify us for world cup against a terrible Ghanaian team, who could also not defeat a very weak Tunisian team at AFCON, who has always been underwhelming all the time he had the opportunity to coach the super eagles?

Bros, we cannot continue to go back in our football. I'll rather we try an untested hand and fail with him than choosing someone who has failed on several occasions and very much likely to fail again.

This is unfortunately the Nigerian DNA

We love to enthrone MEDIOCRITY.

TheGoodJoe:

That is life. Kelechi Nwakali has made so much money in football. He can sacrifice some years to boost himself. He made so much money from Arsenal. He is not hungry. Even if he calls it quits today, he has done well as a footballer.

So, keep your negativity to yourself. As long as Kelechi Nwakali is slowly climbing up, he will get there. At the moment, money is not his target but exposure.

Finito.

Dude was signed as a youth player at Arsenal that's all on a youth contract. That contract will have multiple clauses with stipulated performance milestone. For instance if he gets registered for the first team of Arsenal then so much £££, if plays a certain number of games for the first team turn you get so much ,£££. But in his case he achieved nothing.

Oustanding youth players can get in excess of £5k if they start playing first team football ⚽ then it becomes a professional contract thrm it could well above £30k.

However, Nwakali was not oustanding in Arsenal and never attained any performance related milestones. So how therefore, did you conclude he made so much money 🤑 from Arsenal. ❓

He went on loan from club to club without making any impact he rather got demoted form the Eredivise to the Eerste Division second tier, before the ignominious decent to youth football in Porto B.

His time in the very lowly poverty stricken Segunda division with Huesca where he was the second lowest paid player in the club getting less than €3k a week . Before dropping further to Ponferradina getting even lower wages and now at Chavez getting less than €1.5k a week. That's plenty money to you abe .

What about his living expenses, equipment costs he isn't sponsored by any sports company and he will pay tax.

Once again in you over zealous favouritism you have become delusional.

Now when I present objective appraisal anchored ⚓ on facts you will say HATE .

All the players that I don't talk about and haven't talked about for years as SE potential are doing way better than him and I don't still think they are good enough.

TheGoodJoe:

Who said Kelechi Nwakali is the best in the business? We say he brings in a quality that most of our midfielders do not offer and his addition will benefit the team.

Understand before throwing points.

This is plain delusional 😤 rubbish, sorry to say .
