Too much cho cho cho cho killed his career

His career hasn't been killed

Unless he stops getting called up for Super Eagles matches. But it will be difficult, considering he's got money, if lobbying is necessary

sammiewrite:
When you treat your job that is paying the bills like a side hustle, you fizzle before your time. Neymar, Martial, Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish, Darwin Nunez, Lingard, even Rashford. They won't invest in their body like Ronaldo or delay gratification like Son. Instead of focusing on football, you'll start seeing them at different night clubs and tatoo shops.

If that’s the life they wish to live, it’s none of your business.

That's life.

He is a Senior man. Respect

Old age. Maybe he's 42 already. Legs are tired.

His Father kill this boy career due to greed and pep Gardiola who is an African racist bury is career how can u sell a boy who scored 16goald from the bench at 21yrs of age to liechester? If ihenacho did had accept Fc Porto move rather than Mancity deal i believe he would have been still be balling in some of the elite clubs today. How wish he career ztill blossom well no be to go saudi Arabia go cash out? Look cristano today he follows process e no rush Barcelona want him then in their academy but he chooses to develop at sporting, use manutd as a stepping stone to secure real Madrid. Now be is enjoying is retirement as the highest paid football in the world at 40yr old unheard off

FC Porto over Man City? Portugal over England? Wonders shall never end!

Please if this is a joke, please stop it.

Which money ?? For England. If he wants to make money he should have gone to Saudi.
Soon retires probably at 35 , no pension, no profession to fall back on. Then next 10 years at mere 45 when others in different profession are striving you declare bankruptcy for being jobless for 10 years as ex footballer. That's footballer for you. Struggles after football career. Ask Kanu.

A few months or years of labour is more than enough duration of time (some career) to put bread on your table and on the tables of all your dependents for a lifetime. It's not really about slaving for months, for years, or for decades, but how much you get paid when you actually work and I am not talking of their gross, but their net pay. Most professional footballers get in a week what regular doctors earn in a year. Just a week o! That is very unsettling and mind boggling if you think about it.

A professional footballer of British or Spanish descent who lives in the same country or city as the club-side he retired from has earned more than enough money to stay afloat for many years. The weekly wages of retired professional footballers of African descent who choose to relocate to their country of origin after their footballing career must have elapsed is more than enough to be made for life even with so much extravagance.

Go and verify. Statistics has it that 73% of retired professional footballers go bankrupt after 10 years of retirement from football here in the Western world.

I must nutmeg you this night. Whether you close leg or you no close leg, that one no concern me.

I would push the ball by force. The ball must surely enter your OC!

By 73%, we are talking, breaking it down in tens; we are talking of seven out of ten professional footballers going bankrupt after ten years of retirement.

This is 2025. Can you mention

1. One African or Hispanic/Latino player who played active football for at-least two or three years around 2015 or thereabout in top-flight footballing nation: England, Germany or Spain (less preferred) and who has declared bankruptcy.

2. Four Brits, Germans, or Spaniards who played active football for at-least four, five or six years in their country of birth or any high-paying footballing nation and has now declared bankruptcy.

Not even factoring in inflation, the cost of living in the country of their birth is relatively higher than an African player who brings the home home; that's why I am raising the bar for the number of years of active football played. Also, the number of African players is relatively lower, that's why I am requiring more on their count.

Think about it, when people churn out statistics to make a claim, it is because it is not true.

Taribo was once the world highest paid defender.

True, but only if their earnings was well managed

We are talking of players who retired in the last 10 years and you pulled up an African that last played for the Super Eagles in, I think, 2005. You pulled up one who retired from active football in 2007. That is more than 15 years ago.

Taribo West played professional football at a time football hadn't been monetized as we have it today. He played active football at a time players weren't getting paid as much as they are getting paid today. He played active football at a time inflation hadn't gotten this bad. And if he did retire in 2007 as we have it on record, it must logically be inferred that he last received good money playing active football at-least 20 years ago. That is twice as long as the cap you put on the YEARS LIMIT.

If you want to raise the bar, fine. I would still argue with you, but there is nothing that shows that Taribo West is broke. Can you give me pointers?
