Jay Jay never regretted not joining a big club when he was about leaving Frankfurt

In his interview in Mikel’s podcast he said prior to joining Fenebache from Frankfurt that he had offers from good clubs in top leagues but none offered him what Fenebache had on the table for him

He said his main reason of joining Fenebache was to get stabilised financially because the offer was too good and that when he was at Frankfurt as of then African players weren’t paid much.

He also said the football in Turkey wasn’t really great but he was lucky to leave the league after just 2 seasons to join PSG after France 98 World Cup

Also He never regretted joining Bolton from PSG. To him it was an adventure for him to fulfil the dream of playing in the epl and also Bolton was the best offer he had then. Betis in Spain were interested too but were not willing to pay him what Bolton offered
Oga Charles,I watched the podcast,forget the podcast Jay Jay regretted that moved.

Someone with access to the U17 screenings on X said that the original team meant to partake in fthis WafuB was decimated no thanks to MRI.

Now look at the issue here. Those lads actually passed the MRI but they passed as Grade V eligibles. The highest is Grade VI. A player on Grade VI is ineligible.

Now CAF and FIFA allows Grade V eligibles. But the NFF put the cap at Grave IV and disqualified every lad at Grade V.

Now I get that this is because lads grow and a lad eligible today at Grade V could become ineligible in 6months or more and enter Grave VI. This is what happened to the U17 class of 2022 WafuB winning side. By the time of the U17 Afcon, the following year (2023), our entire midfield got cleared out as they hit Grade VI.

So we went with only Grave IV eligibles as our highest MRI Grade Cap.

But this excuse is still nonsense because even at that, if Proper scouting was done, we would find even better ballers across all positions who are even Grade III.

Let us be honest with ourselves and stop this rubbish in this country. That U17 Team of Grade VI eligibles vs Niger are not the best we have. We have 14 and 15yr olds who even play and deliver better than those lads. It is not hard but the NFF is super lazy and super incompetent and refuses to do things right.

Scout the best and reap the benefits later on. Mugus!

How is Nwaiwu not in the conversation. He's in our top 4 cbs. He's the best suited as the ccb in a 3 atb because of his passing ability built from his days as a dm.

I’m not trying to fight or get emotional. You don’t have to rate him, that’s fine, but saying he shouldn't be in the conversation makes no sense

It beats me whether they support incompetence

Those three coaches are the reasonwe couldn't get any good player through from U-20 to the senior team
Corrupt selections, filling our youth teams with NPFL miscreants..yet someone says i shouldn't lay curses upon them

I repeat, they won't see any good thing in their lives
Where is William Troost Ekong ?
He needs to write a book about everything that went on behind the scenes throughout his time as a Super Eagle, people will buy it
For posterity sake, in Nigeria it seems we never learn from past errors
He’s out of the system, let regular fans & media people know what’s going on in that glass house
Thé non transparent administrators & politicians need to feel the heat too
The next generation should not face these issues that’s been lingering from the past
Maybe more foreign based Nigerian journalists like Osas should begin to ask the hard questions since home based practitioners are usually economically punished or blackli..sted
Why should the players mostly be blamed for failing to get World Cup tickets
If we are not careful, 2030 could be a repeat
World class pitches, our u17 losing to Niger ?
Could it be due to poor structure & organisation, poor scouting network in all 774 local governments. It’s a mess
Padi Padi only ?
How can Niger beat Nigeria in u17 football lol

14 goals for Iheanacho in 10 league games.

11 games of scoring consecutively for club and country. Nacho is serving Nachos weekly again this season

Meanwhile Tochukwu Nnadi starts for Marseille in the Europa League vs Olympiacos.

Bruno Onyemaechi starts for the Greek Giants.

Iheanacho should be the only player that should be starting with Victor Osimhen in a two man attack. There's no denying that Iheanacho is in form, and he scores and create chances as well. He can offer creativity in the final third while Iwobi focuses on creativity in the midfield.

I respect your opinion but this is faceless football forum and opinions are welcomed. No body is going to beat you up for having your opinion. I think what he was trying to derive from you is why you don't rate him. Is it his ball playing ability, one on one ability, reading of the game? To make this discussions more informative people need to be more clear in thier opinions. For example I don't rate Frank Onyeka highly because of his limited technical and ball playing ability. If I simply say I don't rate frank onyeka without giving a reason the whole discussion becomes vague

A knock still keeps Zadok out till Late October.

A muscle injury keeps Femi out till Late October as well.

They will return when their recovery is done and fitness tests passed.
