Man City's new midfielders this summer are all €100M+-bought... New Coach, New Midfield era.

Fantastic move! Upper midtable club that will definitely provide a great platform to excel.

If I'm to describe this transfer window for Nigerian players it's one for foundational laying. No marquee big club move but solid nonetheless.
I prefer this guy to yohana. Yohana plays complicated. Femi is simple and easy on the eye. It's good to have both of them though. I wish them success

I highly respect your opinion but let me explain why I completely disagree with that statement. The problem the supereagles experienced this past world cup qualifying cycles was when teams packed the bus against us we simply lacked the ball jogglers that had the ability to create chances on their own. Elite teams in the world have those technical magicians. Look at what Michael Olise did for france at the world cup. Yohana is a completely different profile to Azeez. The Brighton coach understands this and he will use them accordingly. The opponents and scenario in front of him will determine who gets the minutes. The more players we have in the supereagles with ability to draw defenders to them due to thier one v one ability will create space for others to be more effective. They are both good players with completely different skill set. Nigeria need Yohanna more due to the fact that the vast majority of games we will play against CAF opponents will be against teams sitting in a low block.

Okay got you. Against teams that defend deep and do not give any space to exploit, femi azeez may become ineffective as he won't find space. On the other hand, zadok yohanna can create space in such situations as in create something out of practically nothing. Just sheer genius to unlock a tight defence

BREAKING: FIFA has requested clarification from Nigerian football authorities over reports alleging government interference in the affairs of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

In a letter dated September 1, 2026, signed by FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström on behalf of the FIFA Council, the world football governing body said it had taken note of reports that NFF President Ibrahim Gusau had resigned following an alleged directive from the Presidency.

Both you and Elopa guy have gotten it wrong. If teams are defending deep the only thing your wingers can do is to put the ball in box for the 2 strikers and an extra man in the box. I have said the same thing everywhere several times.
Brazil's equalizer against Japan
England's come back against congo
Argentina's win again England.

These are just a few matches that give you a proper example of what to do against such teams.
France had the opportunity to do same against Spain in the semi's they failed to bring in mateta and thuram .

So, zadok or any creative midfielder won't solve that problem. The most recent example is PSG last game against lille. The problem is that many teams wait until the last 5 minutes to start putting the ball in the box. This was what I expected us to do against congo and Morocco.

Fake. The NFF handle put out a statement debunking this.
I also dropped a post of NSC's meeting with FIFA.
