Bros, Dele reminds me of Gabriel Agbolahor (remember him?). He used to be the flavor of the season in the EPL....so much that he even rejected Nigeria's call up. But where is he now?

Trust me, as soon as Mauricio Pochettino moves on to Barca next season, Dele would have a major dip in form then England would forget and write him off like they always do. Mark my words!

Coming to think of it Raheem was born in Jamaica not England.

Basco, what's the result of their Champions Cup game against Zamalek? I knew they lost the first leg 4-1 in Egypt, but I didn't hear anything about the result of the second leg.

People said the same thing last season especially after the euros. Let's just admit the guy is talented and a big loss.

tbaba1234:
I think Dele is very talented and a loss for Nigeria.

Icon79:
True that; until he has one or two bad outings for the 3 Lions, then you'd realize that as a black man in the English national team....you rarely get a second chance.

Omo, I reached that conclusion because he doesn't play as good for England. I mean, he does better for Spurs.

3 Nigerians in England's under 20.

BascoVanVeli:
No the loss dropped them down to the confed cup. They play Zesco United for a slot in the group stage.

tbaba1234:
Why are top clubs outside Nigeria looking outside the NPFL for talents? We see academy players signing for big teams but NPFL players sign for clubs in Finland and the likes?

What is responsible for the recent poor performances in Africa even with a better organized league? Why are we still having the mandatory home win phenomenon? Are top young talents trying to go abroad before even playing in the league?

Until we lift our league to a high standard where top clubs can sign talents from the league and be sure of their quality, we will still have to depend on foreign based talents for our national team. That is just a fact.

Nigerian born anywhere are Nigerians and should be given opportunities as long as the ability is there.

I've tried answering this question but you keep repeating them over and over again.
For goodness sake, where do you think NPFL clubs sign players from? Do they import players from Mars? Is it not the same academies and youth clubs which supplies players to the various national cadet teams and European clubs that serves as conveyor belt to the NPFL clubs?

For starters, Abia warriors had an open screening before the start of this season and about 400 players from various academies spread out through the length and breath of the country showed up.
3sc did the same, players in their hundreds showed up.
Rangers couldn't even contain the crowd that showed up when they threw their camp open for screening into their feeder team.

European clubs are run by capitalists. They want to invest $1 and earn $1M. The reason these guys go for academy players from Africa, especially Nigeria is because they get away with paying these desperate youngsters stipends not salaries. These youngsters are payed between $500-800 a month. They cannot offer professional players such contracts. I know some NPFL player who came back and continued playing in the local league because they actually earn more playing at home.
If it were up to you, we shouldn't even think of having a league. We should wait for Nigerians in diaspora to produce babies who will come play for the super eagles because there is a dearth of talents who could be nurtured at home. That's a very shallow blue print to follow.
Even the much celebrated Etebor, was absued on this thread when Siasia played him ahead of some established stars against Egypt. Anyone in doubt should check the first 5 pages of this thread and see for themselves. Today the same rejected Etebo has become one of our better players in the Super Eagles. If Siasia didn't give him that chance, Rohr would roll into town and watch for Etebor to give him a good first impression. Hmm

Did Warri Wolves win the champions league? How mange Etebo could emerge from such a team that went on relegation?

TheSuperNerd:
The one called "The Wonder boy of Nigerian football". May your soul find rest Sir and may your family emerge stronger from this loss.

**sad face**

TheSuperNerd:
He wasn't exactly spectacular at the Euros but he is still in the team.... know why? He is still by far the best England have in the AM and CM position... guess who is his backup in the AM role? another Boy with Nigerian blood, Ross Barkley....

So either ways... England have these two and these two are England's finest....

Confession: Both Dele and Ross are true big losses for us. And I wish them the best.

Dele especially is a special player who also holds the world record for the most nutmegs done in 30seconds....

Also, he scored more goals and made more assists (24goals and 12 assists (I think?) more than even Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard in his first 50 EPL games....

He is England's answer to any Midfielder in the world from the other European nations at the moment... imagine him in a super Eagles shirt.... mehn!! with Nacho, Success, Iwobi and Onyekuru or Lookman or Onyedimma or even Ndidi all around him.... kaaiiiiii

Won't that be Explosion??!!!!!!

He is a loss for us but we have to move on.... and focus on the other top young talents from home (like Odey), from our Youth systems like K. Nwakali, Osimhen, Nazifi Yahaya and all (U-17, U-15, U-20), and from Abroad like Onyedimma, Lookman, Ejaria, Tammy, Solanke, Ike Ugbo, Josh Maja, Joel Asoro, etc.... (the foreign borns/breds).

BascoVanVeli:
I can't remember him doing anything special for their national team. His selection has been always based on club form.

Icon79:
LOL. You're definitely a fan....a big one.

Don't get me wrong tho, I like the guy. I think he's a great talent, that's why it bothers me that he decided to stick his lot with England because I know that they'll dump him once they find a true English guy who's half as good. Mark my words!
