A section of the country will be complaining that, why are majority of the names Igbo? Just as they complained about the Golden Eagles at Nations Cup. They want quota system in every thing. 23 Likes 1 Share |

He is not better than most players on that list tho, but he can improve. Needless to say, the 20 million payed for Mikel in the early 2000s was a lot for an African player in those days, not to talk of a midfielder. A good striker in those days could go for 10million pounds and good defenders then were not more than 15 million. I remember when Andy Karel's 35 million pounds price tag at Liverpool about 9 years ago felt like a lot. Decent strikers these days cost about 30million to 80 million, while defenders now cost up to 80 million pounds. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Everton has been a good club for Nigerian Players, I hope Iwobi is able to reach his potential here,at a club that will really inspire his confidence. Arsenal is too toxic for youth talent! 4 Likes |
