Manu Garba has provided good U17 football teams for us over the years and we haven't really heard any complaints...until this competition.
Now he is corrupt, looking for egunje, lazy, refusing to screen in all the 36 states, refusing to carry players from the SE and SS, has a godfather, has a preference for players born in Nigeria, etc. It's basically open season on Manu Garba.

First of all, camp opened late so there was no time for open screening. According to the link below, Manu and his assistants were ready to start but the NFF delayed them.

Someone said that Manu only considered players in Lagos and can you really blame him? If you needed a good sample size and you had to pick one location where you could see a good representation of young Nigerians you'd probably pick Lagos too.
Think about it, Lagos is the most populated state and it is home to a good number of Nigerians from different parts of Nigeria.

Imo, most of these complaints started when Lateef was dropped. Most people only waited until they coild get to the point where they could say, "I told you so."
But how many of you actually watched the screening? How many of you watched them in camp? The fact that someone is more popular does not make him a better player than someone whose skills/efforts have gone unnoticed.

I'm sorry but the whole godfather thing makes no sense to me. To begin with, it's two against one. Secondly, Pinick is the boss here. And finally, why are we just hearing about it? Manu has been the U17 coach for a number of years and no one has complained of this until today. We didn't even hear of this when Manu coached the U20 side and benched Iheanacho and co.

Someone even said that maybe Manu's scouts are here that is why people are supporting evil. People have the right to support who they want. That you think Manu did wrong does not mean that others share your opinion. It does not mean that Manu even did wrong.

Don't get me wrong, Manu Garba is not perfect and he is not above criticism but that criticism needs to be fair and constructive. Many things said here can easily be verified by people in the know or by interviews we have access to. The fact that we are upset does not give us the right to throw unsubstantiated accusations around. If you are going to go on about how evil Manu is, do your due diligence and back it up with proof. You don't get to accuse others of whatever you like because they see or do things differently.

Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. You, me, and yes, Manu Garba.

I think ogu will go to China and cash out
Ebuehi will either stay in benfica or return to his former club
Wolfsburg will retain osimhen
Everton will give onyekuru a chance

Earthquake3:
Wolfsburg will NOT retain Osimhen, Onyekuru is not going back to Everton

charlesemeka85:
dortmund are willing to splash 25m on onyekuru, he is beeing touted as sancho's replacement and with such offer i doubt if everton will decline the money

isan:
Wolfsburg will give osimhen a chance after his exploit this season
onyekuru is Everton player u can't be sure maybe they want him or not

Humility017:
just that we rarely trust nigeria coaches. .... I still don't understand why that boy Adrian was kept in the bench all through not even a 10 mins combo.

sometimes you do things to encourage the boys. ..
he is a young lad he will be surely demoralized.

you look for a way to make all the lads have a taste of action..... it makes them important.

So b dt white goalie?

Barryseal:
The bolded is way off the mark. I take it you don't know about Manu Garba's anticidents. Well I can tell you for free that Manu Garba has had a fair share of illicit dealings and sharp practices in the past that if Nigeria was actually a working society, he will be doing time.

Khaytunechi:
A team had a man advantage and introduced an attacking player (because they could afford the luxury of a man advantage),, were they supposed to play worse??

Kante has been shifted from his role and given a more advanced role at Chelsea,, does that make him less of the player he is?? Just get off this boy's back and let him do what he can do best instead of raising a very false and unnecessary alarm like we are talking of a greenhorn player here.. Ndidi has paid his dues and getting subbed off at HT doesn't mean his position in that team is under any threat.. Rogers won't even want to shoot himself in the head as it will be a tactical suicide to undermine Ndidi's contribution to that his team's setup..
