Nwabali has offers, will move in summer – Etafia

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Greg Etafia has revealed that Stanley Nwabali already has several offers on the table and is set to secure a new club when the season ends, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Nwabali parted ways with South African side Chippa United by mutual consent following the January transfer window, a move that caught many by surprise. Etafia, a former Nigerian goalkeeper who has worked closely with Nwabali since his departure from the Chilli Boys, explained that the 29-year-old had been keen to leave during the African Cup of Nations in Morocco, where he was one of Nigeria’s standout performers, but could not get the necessary clearance from his club.

“When I spoke to him, he told me he had a lot of offers when AFCON was on, he needed to go, but there is no agreement within the club,” Etafia said in an interview with Brila.

“He came, felt like he needed to play or go. Don’t forget, Dumisani Msibi was doing well in his absence. At the same time, he decided what he wanted, the club and him came to an agreement, and he moved on. Right now, he has a lot of offers and is waiting for the season to end.”

Nwabali was not among the goalkeepers invited to the Super Eagles’ current international camp, a decision Etafia found difficult to accept given the goalkeeper’s contributions to the national team.

“He is doing fine. He wanted to keep fit, thinking about the camp because he isn’t among the invitees. The three goalkeepers that were invited are playing at their clubs. But Nwabali has really contributed for Nigeria, I feel he could have been with them in camp,” Etafia said.

“Sometime ago, they did that too with Ademola Lookman, even when he was having issues with Atalanta.”

Since making his international debut in 2024, Nwabali has won two AFCON medals with Nigeria.

Abeg he needs a club
I no want see any of those pipes for our post again

The less said about Zaidu, the better!
Omo the dude too stiff!!

I missed Bruno yesterday
We need to recall Felix Agu

Goke7:
The guy heaven na view once 😂

🤣🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
That game was beneath the two midfield generals (Iwobi and Ndidi) if you ask me and more reason why Iwobi vex for that Jordan guy. It was like, "I pass you, you know yet you still dey flex muscle because ref dey help una. U still come dey hold me like say na wrestling..."

I understand Iwobi but still he should have just walked away from the disgust. This was part of why they just did not come to the party in the 2nd half. They knew the Jordanians were taking it too seriously and they (Iwobi & Ndidi) did not want to exert more than they needed to so it resulted in some form of passive surrender to the gra gra of the arabs.

Exactly
Chelle should trust the other midfield guys to do the job

BankyGee:
True.

But the way dem dey flog passes and trivelas yesterday 😂 omo e crazy.

Like!!

This dude no get joy 😊😊😊

Make we no lie
There was no need for Iwobi and Ndidi to play yesterday's match..

I might even argue same for Simon and Lookman

But we didn't need Iwobi and Ndidi at all
The midfield was doing well and should have been allowed to see out the game

BankyGee:
Full-time: 🇯🇴 Jordan [2]–[2] Nigeria 🇳🇬
Thoughts:
- We might've drawn the game, but there is a LOT of positives from this game.
- The Super Eagles are playing free flowing, pleasing-to-the-eyes football now, even from the back!
- Emmanuel Fernández is not a myth, he's actually the real deal, a calm, confident, ball-playing, goal-scoring centre-back. He got a good, well-deserved goal.
- Francis Uzoho, get out of my national team! So jittery at every attack or free kick. Making free kicks seem like penalties.
- Adebayo Adeleye is confident with his feet, but he rushed out too early for that goal he conceded. Still inspired more confidence than Uzoho.
- Stanley Nwabali and Maduka Okoye are still the best goalkeepers we have, and it's time Arthur Okonkwo got a Super Eagles call-up.
- Collins Yira Sor was invisible all through the game.
- Igoh Ogbu, solid as usual.
- Ademola Lookman, classy player everytime.
- Moses Simon is NOT leaving this team anytime soon, there is a reason he's called Daddy.
- Raphael Onyedika did great in the middle, too calm and composed, he held the midfield when he was on the pitch.
- NFF, extend Éric Chelle's contract ASAP! What a coach!

I'm happy we came away with our unbeaten record in regulation time..
The second half wasn't so good and we were falling into traps set by the Jordanians

BankyGee:
🧤 Can Francis Uzoho still improve for the Super Eagles?

Analysis of his last 6 games for Nigeria - dating back to 2023:
🚫 O cleansheets
🥅 8 goals conceded (4 from free kicks)
🟢 2 wins
⬜ 4 draws
🔴 0 losses

Breakdown of the free kick goals:
2 free kick goals conceded vs. Saudi Arabia.
FT: 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia [2]–[2] Nigeria 🇳🇬

1 free kick goal conceded vs. Zimbabwe (almost 30 yards out).
FT: 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe [1]–[1] Nigeria 🇳🇬

1 free kick goal conceded vs. Jordan.
FT: 🇯🇴 Jordan [2]–[2] Nigeria 🇳🇬

Do you think he needs more playing time or he should go?

Na cane them suppose use flog am comot for Super Eagles

TheSuperNerd:
I was expecting more folks to comment on Collins Yira Sor's transformation into the Invisible man but I guess you cannot comment on who you did not see. The fact that Onyedika gets comments means he was really seen afterall. Lol

Sor disappointed yesterday
Poor pressing
Not tracking back to help Osayi
How we for take see am?

There was just one phase of play where he brought the ball out of the defense
He beat one Jordan player and passed the ball

That was all

mrwilliams9:
Sor, Otele and Fernandez were just added. Nnadi was at the last AFCON. It’s a gradual process but for AFCON27 and 28 (?) we need to have a squad with a mix of folks ready to win now (Lookman, Iwobi, Osimhen, Bassey) and those that have at least 2-3 tournaments in them (Fernandez, Sor, Nnadi).

But I hear you. Even the ones we recently called up are in their mid 20s. Where are the U-18 - U-23s that will be the next generation of the SE…

That Sor looks old to me
I will be surprised if he lasts 5 years

Be like say red card go dey this match

Ogbu bus stop!

Good header

If na Fulham now, Iwobi go play shot
He come SE wan dey do pass master!
Bend that ball joor!!

Chelle you cannot lose your first game in regulation time to these guys o

Goke7:
They are good honestly

Are they ranked higher than us?

oloriooko:
So for your eye now, na the subs caused the equaliser abi
You funny sha

We are in the ascendancy in the first half
It didn't even look like we left first gear
But we were all over Jordan

This second half, we never even see clear chance
What does that tell you?

ekehopp2:
Simon and Onyeka off for Chukwueze and Philips Otele (debut)

Yes!

E don finish o

TheSuperNerd:
No pls... according to Oloriooko and Papi85, the subs have changed the game.

🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
With the Changes we made, we had no business conceeding that 2nd goal. Iwobi and Ndidi came in and folks said "look at the impact their intro brought"... the honest truth is there have been no true impact, at least not yet. Jordan have rather been on the ascendancy and have now equalised.


If Onyedika was onfield, they will blame him for that Jordan goal.

Ndi Fake analysers. Watch the game without nonsense bias abeg.

That fake intensity we brought was unnecessary
We just needed to calm the game down and allow Jordan do all the running

I miss Bruno on that left
Zaidu is not giving that quality needed

No clear cut chance this second half

DrYa:
We never get GK yet o..

Nwabali is our keeper
All these ones na pipe them be

Equalizer
That goal meant so much to them..

lbrichman2:
I no understand Jordan o
You're losing and you still dey play low block, with 5 at the back

Strange tactics

I guess they were waiting till 70th minute
Them don come out now

I no understand Jordan o
You're losing and you still dey play low block, with 5 at the back

Strange tactics

Goke7:
Jordan Dey ball too with intensity

We are missing passes now
