All this protracted talk about "buy back clause" is simply irrelevant.

It the " buy back " only become relevant if the player performs or if you like "Blows" however, KC has blown so cold he is like ice. There is now a complete diminish in his value. Who do you think will buy him for £10 million now.


Finally, you don't GET game time you earn it by consistent performances. Unfortunately KC has failed to convince three different managers that should tell us something.

Abdul ajagun-panathinaikos

Sone aluko- Glasgow rangers
John chibuike- rosenborg
Imoh ezekiel- standard liege
Obafemi Martins- levante

I will add to that list Victor Anichebe and Hope Akpan and with the small correction that Sone Aluko was in the EPL with Hull.

charlesemeka85:
And what do you call success? Winning the afcon and failing to qualify to 2 editions with the core of the same winning team?

Herve Renard won the afcon with Zambia which attracted the Ivorians who hired him and he achieved the same feat with them before moving to morroco.

Keshi won the afcon, was releaved of his job later but still couldn't get any decent footballing country in Africa to sign him after tendering so many applications, what about the case of siasia?

I prefer climbing the ladder of success gradually with good results to show for my progression on the process rather than taking 2 steps forward and 3 steps backward

charlesemeka85:
Yea I forgot anichebe. Akpan was played by Keshi severally after gaining promotion with reading after the world cup. Aluko was a star then in Scotland scoring week in week out but was ignored prior to the afcon. Keshi preferred Uzoenyi instead

TheGoodJoe:
Keshi gave Hope Akpan his break. Keshi was the one who gave Aluko more chances than any other Super Eagles coach. I think same with Anichebe. Haba.

TheGoodJoe:
Uzoenyi proved himself in CHAN. Keshi was not a coach who relied on big names but his tactics and strategies were always King.

TheGoodJoe:
Crap.

The reason Iheanacho is not getting game time is simple. Vardy has the monopoly in the striking role. Not because Iheanacho did not perform.

Lie small small. Do not let your hatred for Iheanacho consume your fairness in analysis.

charlesemeka85:
I disagree with you on Uzoenyi. Keshi went for unknown players mainly from the local league whom he benefited from their moves to obscure leagues in Europe. This is known fact.

Uzoenyi who couldn't play for Rennes first team in Europe made the afcon and world cup team at the expense of Aluko who did very well in Scotland and the English 2nd tier then

charlesemeka85:
Keshi invited Aluko when he was even struggling with Hull in the epl but ignored him when he was on top form playing for Glasgow rangers in Scotland. It was after the career of uzoenyi and co stunted after the world cup that he gave Aluko a chance in the team. Prior today the last 2014 world cup Aluko was balling hard for Hull city in the chanpionship

TheGoodJoe:
By the time Michael Babatunde was in the scene, Keshi preferred him to Aluko and Babatunde proved himself at the World Cup. Not bias.

komekn:
I don't have any personal relationship with KC what so ever, why on earth would l hate him ❓

The answer is very simple, he has not performed commensurate with his £25 million transfer fee. He has after 51 games ( multiple opportunities) scored 4 goals that's simply ABYSMAL there is no other definition.

But certainly HATRED is not one of them.

charlesemeka85:
Proved which self at the world cup? How old is he and where is he playing today? Keshi made you guys believe he was the next thing closest to jj at the expense of better players who are natural and creative attacking midfielders such as ajagun, haruna and Aluko.

Babatunde ko!

Oga even the best coaches in the world lose to weaker sides. Barca last weekend just drew with promoted osasuna and lost to Bilbao a few weeks ago.

Turkey during the last fifa window won world champions 2nil at home with the French super stars on parade in an euro qualifier match.

Spurs last weekend lost to a Newcastle side tipped for the drop by the end of the season.

Losing to Madagascar doesn't rub off the positives Rohr hv brought in so far. Atleast the same madacasgar was the first team to qualify for afcon without losing a game and made it to quarter finals of the same competition

Earthquake1:
The funny thing is you have no Stat to defend your statement

Not goals, not even goals per minutes, not distance covered, chances created, Shots per match

Just playing running around the bush and trading blames

TheGoodJoe:
Uzoenyi got the nod after Echiejile injured. Uzoenyi was not on the World Cup list. It was Michael Babatunde that took the creative midfield position from Aluko.

As for the Rangers time, Keshi had some breakthrough talents who delivered like Mba.

TheGoodJoe:
You gat to be kidding me. Vardy is yet to be benched in I think four games. What other stat do you need?

charlesemeka85:
U can resurrect keshi or beg fifa to clear siasia so that he can coach your village team

charlesemeka85:
I was saying prior to the afcon. And the breakout star MBA where is he today? Since then how did his career panout?

Mind u, Babatunde is not an AM but was deployed in that position during the world cup after the midfield combination of mikel, onazi and Azeez didn't gel after the first match against Iran. Due to the lack of attacking midfielders in the team keshi gambled on Babatunde in the next match against Bosnia which he did fairly well and till date is his best outting in the super eagles colors

Earthquake1:
In the matches Iheanacho played how has he performed to indicate he deserves more minutes

benji93:
Your first example is disputable, it is only useful if "velverde" is a really good coach without Messi. Hell na, he is not.
For turkey they played at home, and their team is a pretty good one. Most teams try hard not to lose at home, even the weak ones. But to lose to a bunch of farmers-excuse me for using "farmers"- is a serious blight.
And did you say Magascar was the first team to qualify for Afcon 2019? Without losing a game,Bros i beg, take it back.

TheGoodJoe:
Since Rodgers came, Nacho has not got much minutes. The chance he got was during the preseason and Nacho excelled.

Finito.

semid4lyfe:
Michael Babatunde "I can be Nigeria's Messi"

With his performance against Bosnia and Argentina, has Michael Babatunde justified his inclusion in the Super Eagles World Cup Squad?

Personally, I think he has. . .he's extremely hardworking, marks, back tracks & support the midfield, shoots and crosses very well and is unselfish.

For me, he's been the revelation in the team and his absence will be felt against France.

What do you think?

charlesemeka85:
Which drab display are u talking about? The same local coaches who left the super eagles in a state of dismay? Which success are you talking about?

The same success that made a certain coach hold us on hostage just because he was fortunate to win the afcon? Abi na the one wey fifa just banned for life?

Keep on living in the past

At times u sound so brilliant... D next minute u sound so andrew ,guy no kill ursef o,rohr no sabi u

TheGoodJoe:
When Aluko was at Rangers, Keshi chose to put fate in Mba and he delivered in a big way. You brought up Rangers. I explained why. No you are twisting the plot points.

As for Babatunde. If Aluko had gone instead of Michael, he would not have started the first leg. If he got a chance, it would have been the same chance Babatunde got. When Babatunde got the chance, he was absolutely brilliant. I was one of those on the Aluko cheering team but agreed Keshi was right in the call for Michael Babatunde.
