If I say I am not TOTALLY bewildered by the fee £19 million then I would be a big liar.

When I compared Solanke to KC earlier today l talked about unique selling point, attributes and requirements for the lower half to upper mid table teams in the EPL.

Below a quote from the Bournemouth Manager.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe said he was "really excited" about working with Solanke.

"Dominic is technically gifted, very athletic and has the physical profile that will give us something different in our front line," said Howe


That statement substantiates my deductions.
19 Million for a young English talent is nothing.

And what do you want a coach to say about his new signing??

Solanke has shown absolutely nothing in his senior career. He has flattered to deceive.

and you have not jumped into conclusion by saying this?

It is the man who has skeletons to hide that is the first to make accusations, so, I suggest you save this advice for yourself because I never at any point implied you have anything against anyone undecided


I repeat, EPL hype was from patriots and fanboys. Iheanacho was performing in City, imagine if Chukwueze was in Atletico Madrid, would he not have better stats?


Yes, if Chukwueze begins to Bleep up, I will bash him too. When someone is doing good, you praise them, and when they start misbehaving, you bash them. Abi, make I begin dey make excuse for who dey play opata ball? Na so you dey do your own analysis? Na wetin make Kelechi no gree get sense, because una still dey talk say all is well because once upon a time, he was a decent footballer.
When you analyze a player be sincere okay and don't diss other

That's my words for you ,nothing more than that

Peace

I noticed a player wearing number 20 at the CB for Readings FC. He is doing very.

He is very good at distributing balls either with accurate long or short pass.

Tiago Ilorin is his name.

Will be a very good addition to the team.

Vindicated which your position?

No one here has said the MRI determines exact age because that is not how it functions. It is not a Chronological machine so it cannot determine absolute age. It only examines extent of certain bone fussion which is attributable to most boys of certain age or less. (Before 18)

We are only kicking against those that will see a 19years old Uzoho or Chukwueze and say they are in their 30s or 25+, a claim which u have always supported.

If you truly wish for the development of Nigerian football please quite this your antics of trying to rubish the ages of all our players that have gone through the MRI.
The bold that l have highlighted, is a very wide and mischievous variable intended to cause dissentious discord and unnecessary arguments.

It's simply not true, otherwise please quote me which you can not. Apologise pride will not allow you too.

You have supported my position by your own admission. My position is very simple we have no way of to officially substantiate age in Nigeria.

We therefore have to rely on personal integrity. In a society that is intrinsically corrupt. That's simply not plausible if you want to be truthful.

You have said you don't think that Chukwueze is 19 but more like 22/23.

So what you are saying is everyone's age cheating but it's the degree if age cheating that is in dispute.

You have contradicted yourself, in your irrational, biased defence of the indefensible. You either have integrity or you don't, you are either a liar or not a liar.

There really is no middle Road for truth honesty and integrity. Call a spade a spade. Cause what you are saying he had lied, " but na small lie, Eéeeeeee no too much "

And I am therefore called unpatriotic for asking for unquestionable integrity.

Lure what? Lure him back. If he wants to organise a testimonial, that is his business but Pinnick is talking about Victor Moses having something to offer after he dumped the team. It is ridiculous. We have players to play the role.

Whether lure or begging is a no no.

Finito.
Haaaa! Na our weapon of Mass destruction you diss so? Take time O! No let some ppl come for ur head O!

On a serious matter, I have never been sold on Moses and I never hid it. Let him enjoy his retirement in peace! Bringing him back is like taking one step forward and 200 backwards. He is one reason we had a poor showing at the world cup. Always diving.

InSanety:
how is Kalu a rookie?

How is Moses of 2013 better than Kalu of 2019?
It is a travesty or a sacrilege to compare Kalu of now with Moses of 12/13.

What is Kalu doing now that is so special?

6 goals and 8 assists in Belgium last season?
2 goals this season in Bordeaux, where he has been hugging the bench recently?

Kindly google Moses' stats for 12/13 at about the time he was called up to the national team.

Blazing hot for Chelsea with 10 goals 5 assists.
He scored in the league, at Europa, at champions league, at the EFL, and even at the FA cup.

You dare not compare the records!

Permit me to repeat it. Kalu, a good prospect no doubt, is still a rookie.



InSanety:
Kalu has not even played up to 6 games, but his national team stats are 2 assists and 1 goal....so, what makes 2013 Moses better than 2019 Kalu that you think Moses was ripe and Kalu isn't? Abi because he was 23?
Kalu is playing with a better team overall. Moses at that time had to cope with many bench warmers and home based players.


InSanety:
In 2013, it was Sunday Mba that gave us the winning goals at the semi-finals and quarter-finals, let us remember that we played against then African giants CIV, and Moses' experience was nowhere to be found. Mba is obviously a greater footballer than Moses, since we are hailing Moses for getting two penalties against some lowly Ethiopian team.


We could have crashed out against CIV and we could have lost against Burkina Faso, Sunday Mba was the true hero who saved us and won us the cup. Let us not take away accolades from the true heroes of that team, because Moses' selfishness has cost us more games than saved us
Moses qualified us for the 2nd round with 2 late minute goals.

Created the wonderful assist against Mali that led to the opening goal.

Guess who created the assist that led to Mba's goal in the final?
Moses. grin

He was massive for us in 2013. Truth be told he won us the Afcon.

Can Kalu equal this feat for us in the coming Afcon?

Perhaps he can. But he is not currently playing at that fiery level Moses was playing at then.



Conclusion:

Kalu is not currently anywhere near the level of Moses at that time. Kalu is still a rookie in the team. Kalu has the prospect and Moses has the experience.
Moses does not necessarily have to start the games but his experience will be vital for us in winning the cup.

Just heard Pinnic on radio, he said the news is false and that no travel ban on him.

Berated the news media that carried the news

Travelled to Ghana yesterday and currently in Lagos, heading to Senegal tomorrow (official trip)

Exonerated the president and said we're more civilized than before.

Said it's a case of bad belle (Dalung/Chris Giwa) though didn't mention these names.

The Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju
Melvin Pinnick has denied reports in the media
claiming that a travel ban has been imposed on
him.
This comes on the heels of a report that President
Muhammadu Buhari has directed that Pinnick
should be prosecuted.
The CAF Vice President and FIFA executive
committee member took to his Twitter handle to
clear the air on the report which he terms
falsehood.
“Good afternoon Nigeria. My attention has just
been drawn to a publication by an online media
organisation about a travel ban placed on me and
an intending prosecution,” Pinnick wrote in a
thread on Twitter.
“Ironically, it comes on the heels of my trip to
Accra, Ghana yesterday for a meeting between the
Nigeria Football Federation and CAF partners,
AITEO.”
“I also have official engagements coming up in
Senegal. In other words; no such ban is in place
and no security agency has gotten in touch.
“The @thenff recently published its audited
accounts in ThisDay Newspapers & Daily Trust on
Thursday the 20th of December, 2018 and on
Tuesday the 25th of December, 2018 in The
Vanguard Newspapers.
In effect, our finances are open for anyone to see.
All incomes from the Federal Government, FIFA &
CAF, since 2014 are reflected. Before my
appointment into the FIFA committees, I had to
pass through
intense integrity and eligibility tests.
“I was not found wanting. Two years ago, FIFA
handed the NFF a clean bill of health in our
financial management. Our accounts are audited
by PwC, the same firm that audits FIFA.
“So it is quite laughable whenever these stories
come out. And they come out, without fail,
regularly, and from the same sources.
“Well, I’ll be talking to my lawyers to see what
legal redress I can get, but it would be nice if our
media houses investigated these things before
publishing.
“I might not know every journalist in Nigeria, but I
do know a few in just about every media house in
the country. When these unfounded stories hit, it’s
our football that suffers.”
Sponsors and perspective sponsors become wary
of and about doing business with us. Surely we
can be responsible about our reports?
“I’m hoping the more responsible media outlets will
disregard these reports while assuring our partners
and prospective partners that we are serious about
taking our football upwards. Thank you very much
and a very Happy New Year to you, Nigerians.”

Really disappointed at the way people are speaking about Vic Moses to be honest. They are even comparing him to Kalu. Imagine!!! When did Kalu even join SE sef. We are so quick to forget people who represented us. We don't give honour to whom it is due. Ever wondered why he retired? Why are we like this? Same way we dissed Nacho, and the Chukwueze that is receiving praises now will be sacrificed on the slaughter table soon once he messes up. Vic Moses has his bad side but I believe he can add to the team. Someone even said he would be choosing matches. Least we forget, okocha was once choosing matches. No need to disrespect our former heroes. The newbies are also watching.
