In the meantime four Nigerian origin players just signed for a very top EPL club U23's.

Let's see how they will progress.

Their names?

komekn:
One thing that you really need to understand VERY CLEARLY.

Any young Africa origin player in England and Europe in general doing well does not need the Nigerian national team to progress his career.

However, for players born in Nigeria and playing in Nigeria they ABSOLUTELY NEED the national team to progress their careers. Playing youth football may be the big step to a fruitful career in Europe.

Eberechi Eze, l said this ages ago will play for Nigeria once he has settled his long term contract. Part of that process is creating value as a English national team prospect. That brings more value and interest in the short term.

The idea they will be after us is not exactly true. However, for the love of the Father land they will play for Nigeria.

That possibility is becoming more above board with Yobo in the process. And l see a lot more Nigeria origin players playing for Nigeria who are playing in England.

ok

Spy360:
In my dream, Arsenal signed Messi. I woke up this morning, and Messi has asked to leave Barcelona.

Are you thinking what I am thinking

Let's look at it this way,Kolasinac,Ozil ,Mustafi,Guen,Nelson,and 50M in exchange for Messi . It's not a bad business.

IDENNAA:
No , that's is looking at it from one angle and don't tell me what I am "implying" because you are not in my head.

OK bro. I might have misunderstood you...Daluu

IDENNAA:
You dont have to believe me but I can bet a billion 99.9% of these English born never dreamt of playing for Nigeria except in rare cases like Iwobi the crappy , Aribo and Ajayi. And if Ajayi was playing to football before we approached him he will ignore you and mock you join...lol. Dont forget the Abraham humiliation....lmao. Cold blooded !

Lolz.. you know you have a point sha . But if not for age cheat and other factors, I want to believe we won't be after all these foreign borns. In the last 7 years, our younger teams have produced the like of Osimhen ,Kelechi, Samu ,Awaziem and co. for the national team. Imagine it keeps happening like this every 2-3 years,we won't be after those BOROUGH boys. In other words,they would be after us

IDENNAA:
It's not about how many but the system that presents boundless opportunities even for the crappy ones among them. Our boys in Nigeria don't even have 1% of the opportunities these English born enjoy. If Nwakali was an English he may have won EPL player of the year by now.

Think about it for a moment

what you were implying here was that those English guys were only good (good..as in on the field kinda good)due to privileges and opportunities they enjoy.

IDENNAA:
They still find themselves playing in decent league like with great pay and retirement while our best are languishing in obscure European leagues...daalu

Oga ..you are not sticking to the context of the argument.

Philosopher1979:
Players like solanke ojo arnaut danjuma bankole etc are just average and not really an improvement on what we have but BUKAYO SAKA IS OUTSTANDING IN EVERY WORD. I mean he is the real deal. In fact he will enter England first team as i dont see who is better than him. In future he might play for barcelona or real madrid. He is legit and not some overhyped foreign born player. He is in the class of halland and Jafon sancho so his case is different.

You are right bro.But the context of our argument is a bit far off from this.

andrewbaba44:
Nwakali will win the epl player of the year if he was English ?

Continue taking hard drugs

Even the English self Dey get wasted talent ,eg Ravel Morrison

Lolz no mind am. She Ibe and Solanke no enjoy Privileges and opportunities ni ? why are we not after them abi why dem no get England call up?

What will you now say about those English kids that enjoys the Almighty opportunities and privileges and couldn't still make it.

timay:
Saka has been called up to the latest England U21 team. *Sigh*

If true,best of luck to him. we move.

[quote author=IDENNAA post=93238304][/quote]Lolz .. sorry bro. Are you a kid? I don't want to believe you are saying this.
Kalu ,Henry,Ejuke - These guys playing pattern is to cut inside and shoot. Having Saka on board who can really add another dimension to our attack is a welcome development provided he is willing to play for us.
And crossing is only one of his strength.

IDENNAA:
It's called privilege nothing more. He is a product of the English system and they look out for their own.

Privilege?Are Ibe, solanke et al not products of English system? She dem too no enjoy any privilege ni .?
Come and shalaye

One thing Saka will bring to our NT is his crossing. His crossings were so accurate last season and it becomes interesting when you realize Osimhen will be playing CF.
Inasmuch as I will want to admit we got a lot of wingers, we need to take into context what each will bring into the team.

Edopesin:
Damn this is just sad

she lost last year's final too after been defeated by Lyon.
Better days ahead jare

Oshoala and Barcelona lost to Wolfsburg in UCL (women's) . They lost by one goal to nil .
so sad

Neobulletzz:
Oh okay but still on still season don end na so e suppose don expire like that

ok

FT Wolfsburg wins. I'm feeling sad right now

Neobulletzz:
Yes but it doesn’t change the contract abi does it?

It can go either way. The contract says 'at the end of season' . 'June' is just an assumption IMO

Neobulletzz:
His free contract expired since June

I don't think so. Season was supposed to end in June if not for covid .

Edopesin:
Andrewbaba44 looks like it is inevitable, we've reached the end of something great

And it is likely he will be leaving for free.

Edopesin:
Players wey get name from English media hype full ground for them na

Lolz...na dem dem

Barryseal:
Ings, Kane, Tammy, Rashford are all no 9s. Sterling, Sancho Greenwood and Saka should have been their options on the wings.

Actually, I was talking about Tammy not saka.

Edopesin:
These guys are spreading the word

Bro...e be like dragging players with us don tire England. Maybe they realized they keep snatching the wrong guys.

TheSuperNerd:
Yup.... Bukayo Saka NOT called up by Southgate.

England just pack Right full backs inside team. Walker, Arnold and trippier. Saka wants to play as a winger and judging from this squad, he won't displace anybody there.Ings, Kane,Greenwood, Foden ,Rashford All the best for Tammy
BTW , where is Tomori.

elunico:
Ighalo was signed because of Rashford's injury, but the Covid break gave Rash enough time to recover and resume with the team.

OK.

TheOtherCitizen:
Something bigger than Man Utd is here

www.givemesport.com/1594260-tottenham-begin-work-to-sign-premier-league-beast

But as far as I know Daniel Levy and Leicester Board, those two can never do business. So Tottenham are just calling to appreciate Ndidi, nothing serious.

I don't even want Tottenham . Ndidi should go to where he can win trophy too.

charlesemeka85:
Billing would have been a perfect cover for ndidi buh he goofed big time.

Also we have an emerging DM in frank onyeka who had a stellar season in Denmark and likely to join the German bundesliga this summer

Well.. make we dey look am sha .

TheOtherCitizen:
The number of interested clubs in England only are almost half a dozen.

Bournemouth players are not getting mentions this window because the club is playing hard ball.

Billing might have stunted his national career, but man's still a class player.

OK... He is entitled to his choice and I wish him well.

charlesemeka85:
Agu joining Nantes will earn him a recall to the national team.

Exactly bro. We have no recognized DM at the moment apart from Ndidi. IMO

Lucque:
Imagine!!!...we wanted to help his career ,but he was der jonzin....he should keep waiting on d Danes...

As for tomori...i rili liked that guy...he would have been a great addition...hopefully d new fifa rule pulls thru

Billing will likely play in championship this coming season and I don't think any club is gunning for him. I am pretty sure that by playing for Nigeria ,he would be sought after by at least one decent club in any first division. Even I heard Mikel Agu is moving to Nantes.
As for Tomori,I don't see him coming back.

TheOtherCitizen:
I see him too, he's the 24th on that list.

Lolz
