See Komekn this is where I always have issues with you. Your first instinct when you hear stories like this is to almost always take the most pessimistic or negative standpoint. You usually try to disguise it under the banner of being "objective" not knowing you are as transparent as glass. How do you know for certain he will be a bench warmer? Are you an oracle or is soothsaying your side hustle? You can judge a player's present circumstance without making a definitive judgment about how they will fair in the future you absolutely have no control over. One would have thought the Iheanacho, Osimhen and Josh Ononam experiences would have made you more humble in your judgments but mba! komekn: |

charlesemeka85: Are you suggesting that it's taken months ❓ When Ovie and Ademola made thier commitment to the NFF years ago, with regards to Ovie I can say it's over 3 years ago. Something that should not take more than 4/5 weeks. It's crass ineptitude by the NFF again it mirrors general bureaucracy in Nigeria in general. It's simply not acceptable. However Nigerians we have learned over the years to accept the unacceptable. 3 Likes |

Senegal had a better squad than ours. Guys like Diouf, Camara, Fadiga, Cisse and the late Bopa Diop were hitting fine form. Nigeria was already in decline guys like Oliseh, Finidi and Tijani Babangida who made up the core of the squad weren't in the greatest form that year. Other than the injustice of them being dropped from the World Cup squad there is no guarantee we would have done any better with them in Japan/Korea Philosopher1979: 1 Like |

chrisooblog: You lack objectivity and you cannot substantiate your opinion with anything beyond sentiment and bias. Look at the past 10 years and tell me how many forward players Chelsea have bought that have made it beyond Drogba, Conte and a one or two others. Chelsea has either destroyed the careers of many young promising players or they have had to find world class fame and fortune ELSEWHERE, such as De Bruyne, Lukaku, Salah, etc In addition it's part of the Chelsea business. Model to buy players and sell them on for possible profit. Now compare the pedigree of the players Chelsea buys and how many failed to cut it. Terem is not as good as the players who did not make it at Chelsea thats the reality. 1 Like |

Neobulletzz:Her father is Nigerian. Read her interview below. Former England youth defender Ashleigh Plumptre says she would play for Nigeria at senior international level - if the West African country came calling. The 23-years-old, who plays for newly-promoted Women's Super League (WSL) side Leicester City, is eligible to play for the Super Falcons because of her father's Nigerian heritage. Having helped guide the Foxes to the FA Women's Championship title in 2020/21, Plumptre was voted player of the season and rewarded with a new two-year deal. And, despite 30 England caps at youth level, Plumptre says she would like to play for Nigeria. "The idea of me being able to play for Nigeria, with that being an option, I would happily grab that with both hands," she told BBC Sport Africa. "What representing something that really means to somebody is very important. Obviously, there's a lot of things I can openly say that I don't know about Nigerian culture but I want to learn because I know that it's in me, and it's in my sister and in my dad. "We can only get it from my granddad, he's the only thing that we know in terms of Nigeria. I've obviously visited Nigerian relatives in America and in England. "Seeing this little journey my sister and I have been on, and the understanding of our family heritage, not just that but watching Nigerian documentaries and learning about the past is incredible." Understanding her heritage Life-long Foxes fan Plumptre played 25 games this season for the club she first joined as an eight-year-old and previously played in the WSL with Notts County in 2014, before moving to the United States. Stints stateside with US college side USC Trojans and LA Galaxy followed, before she returned from studying in January 2020 to play a key role in a memorable season for the Foxes. After establishing herself at club level, Plumptre who has a British mother, believes a potential international career with Nigeria could pave the way for other biracial footballers to follow. "What it will mean for me as somebody who is British born but with Nigerian heritage is huge. People look at me and they think I'm tanned and that I've been on holiday, they don't think that I'm Nigerian," she added. "I don't think that should be significant in saying whether somebody is Nigerian or not because it's in your blood, it's not about what you look like. "My sister, she looks African because she has an Afro and her skin tone is darker than mine, with that obviously, she's had different experiences in school than I have had. "I think with football being my platform, I am using that as something that's bigger than me. As much as I can resonate with my Nigerian heritage. "I feel like I can hopefully inspire someone like my sister or other kids like her maybe in this country or other countries to look at me and be like you know what? It doesn't matter what your skin tone looks like. "If you can resonate with your heritage and it means something to you, it means you can represent something bigger than you, then that's what it comes down to. "I think people too often look at the surface of this rather than actually try to find out inside what our drives and passions are, and what means a lot to us." Following the Super Falcons Leicester City's Ashleigh Plumptre has played for England at youth level The continent's most successful national side with nine African titles, Nigeria are the only African team to have played in all eight Women's World Cups since 1991. Despite possessing the talent to potentially make the step up to Englands senior side, Plumptre has been growing professionally and fully aware of the Super Falcons' rise in the global game. "When you look around there are several Nigerian players playing at the top level of the women's game," she pointed out. "With the Super Falcons I have been following them and the continued progress the team is making. But one player that I remember is Asisat Oshoala. "She was at Liverpool when I played for Notts County, then I was about 16 and the big thing was having Oshoala over at Liverpool. "That was the big name and then she obviously went to Arsenal. And everybody knew of her and how talented she was. For me an an English person, she was Nigerian football to me." She's hoping to meet the club's Nigerian international duo Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho soon, insisting that the pandemic has made it difficult to link up with them. "With Leicester Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Ihenacho have been a good roles model for me. It's funny we haven't met but that's all because of Covid but at some point hopefully we'll be able to meet each other," she explained. Plumptre has been immersed in the culture, food and music of her father's ancestral home, but admits she has never visited the country. "I listen to a lot of music but my favourite genre is classic 90s R&Bs, the stuff my dad grew up listening to are what I listen to now," she explained. "But with regards Nigerian songs I like, I will go with veteran and legendary musician King Sunny Ade because I've heard some of his records. "I really enjoy the Nigerian Jollof rice, fish stew but my favourite meal is moi-moi [steamed and flavoured cakes of ground beans]." |

I'm not saying Moffi should go to Chelsea now I'm just highlighting Komekn's penchant for being always negative about any transfer news regarding some of our players. For instance look how you have logically argued why Terem moving to Chelsea is a no no. You have clearly shown the difficulties he could encounter but you haven't placed an embargo on him that he will not stand a chance. Komekn knows what he's doing when he makes such arguments so that tomorrow if the opposite happens he will try and hide under his usual "here and now" mantra. If I didn't know better maybe somebody puts him up to it to keep this thread going jihday: 2 Likes |

komekn:Optimistic,definitely not misguided . can't u c that we don't have any natural play maker in our team right now,what do we do? Wait around for those jokers in england using us bidin their time to weigh their chances with 3lions. We don't have that luxury of time before the WC, and we don't have quality options in that midfield department . No one is in support of calling just any player who hasn't done anything in 4yrs, But we have seen what he(Nwakali) could do,n recently he's started picking up some form. He has the same talent with those other hesitant guys some us r desperate to have. Okoye,osimhen,iwobi,were all rookies before they were integrated into d team,but they r all doing fine now in d team. 1 Like |

unlike you I believe in fact not myth. How many top EPL teams have had forwards who thrived over the past decade? In Arsenal Van Persie and Aubameyang. Tottenham just Harry Kane and maybe Adebayor. When Mikel was bought as a young player was his career destroyed? Joe Cole nko? Is Chelsea destroying the careers of mount, reece james, Odoi? Terem is a prospect who could get better. It could be with Chelsea or with another club but you should learn to appreciate that football is not a mathematical equation where 1+1 = 2 The trajectory of a footballer varies from person to person. For some you work your way up slowly for others it takes years but learn to never dismiss a player just because of his current level. Moffi still has a lot of improving to do no doubt so going to Chelsea is not a realistic choice (don't think the story is true anyway) but for someone that was playing in Lithuania barely a year and a half ago his progress is impressive and needs encouragement. komekn: 3 Likes |
