Another angle and that is my wish for these lads because the latent profiles they boast is what we need abeg. Our middle game dynamics is about to witness a revolution if we channel our focus to these lads coming through for us even as they continue their development.

Joebie:
The truth is that we will be really fortunate if a quarter of those midfield options really make it a the big level.

I wouldn't mind trying some of them out NOW. Onyedika, for one, should get more chances in the SE.

Keep crying. We do not need him. If Nwakali had the same priviledge of growing up in England, he won't even be at Crystal Palace at 25 years . Rest! He only has one Euro and one world cup if he is fortunate. Sancho, Sterling, Ferguson, Mount are breathing down on his neck. We wish him all the best. His inclusion in the Eagles won't make us win a world cup and we could win AFCON without him. Rest!

Please forgive me, maybe 🤔 you haven't ever left Nigeria and or have a wide and informed social network.

Otherwise you would not have this very misinformed view .

Living in Nigeria bis very very tough it's easier in England but there are still several challenges nonetheless.

Making in football ⚽ means you will have to overcome several obstacles and being in England will not give you any overriding advantage.

First of all talking genetics 🧬 and athletic disposition of African origin football ⚽ players in Europe and England specifically.

If Nwakali was in England he would first of have to prove himself at grass roots level and get scouted, then he will have to compete with hundreds of African origin boys both in and outside the club for several years. And then you will get signed from age 8 until 16 or earlier when you can get your first youth program professional contract.

Eberechi was released after 5 years at Arsenal several players were considered better than him , Willock, Maitland, as well as the ubiquitous Nwakali here.

Yes 👍🏿 Nwakali was retained and Eberechi Eze released.

When you come into a club as paid for international award winning player. Your are given precedent over other players ( you cost money) and you will be favoured and other players put to one side. Your will be given the benefit of the doubt and given opportunity to prove your oustanding ability.

If you're fail you will be released but if you are under contract you will stay until the contract period is terminated. Nwakali had a long contract and had ample opportunity to prove his assumed quality.

On the other hand Eberechi went to near 10 clubs looking for opportunity, from Arsenal, to Fulham, to Reading, Cardiff, etc until Millwall and then finally at 16 he got into QPR, within 6 months he was in the first team .

Eberechi was only U14 when he got released he cried like a baby and had keep going after continuous disappointments.

Now tell me how Eberechi had more privilege than Nwakali ❓❓

I don't know but how do your know Werder Bremen are trying to make a decision between these two players ❓

Anyways while they are deciding bigger clubs are trying to buy him like Crystal Palace, Everton, Wolves, West Ham, all in the EPL.

So going to Werder Bremen would be a step down not up for him. They are effectively a very poor suitor and maybe a striker from a league rated 17 in Europe bus probably more of their level. ( Chuba is to big for them )

Was watching Chelsea get brutalised by Man United but my eyes 👀 were more impressed with Chukwuemeka Carney and Madueke small boys playing for Chelsea.

I talked about Carney donkey years ago he is Quality box to box Midfielder, that would be a great addition to the SE.

Another player to watch out for us is another teenager that is going to blow soon IMO Timothy Iroegbunam.

You are such a big liar, and you are always desperate for cheap glories. You trynna make it seem you the reason we got to know about the boy while most of us had read about these names long ago from ANG? Even in here, the first person to bring news about these guys was Charles Emeka. The news he also copied from ANG site. You are yet to bring a single unknown talent or player to our notice, so ogbeni deck down.


That aside, those boys aren't looking our way, so there is no point wasting our time and resources chasing them, instead we have to harness the talents we have locally.

no matter how hard we try we can’t hv all of them at once. We get some as well as lose some

I think the better way to approach them is snapping them when they re yet to hit stardom by integrating them to our youth teams but the nff hardly do that and when they do they insist the players will take the responsibility of paying for their flight ticket which is not encouraging at all

If I happen to be a parent in europe and the nff give such condition to my kid no way will I accept that

This is one of the issue the nff needs to address. Atleast in any of our age grade team they should try to incorporate 2-5 talented foreign born players for future purposes. No matter how we paint it as been unpatriotic it’s difficult to ignore the lure of this top European footballing nations when they come calling.

These players tend to lean more to the country of their birth because it’s easy for them to assimilate into the team where they hv the opportunity to play with others that were their friends growing up as well as club mates than coming to a terrain they barely know nothing about.

Even I doubt many of them hv visited Nigeria before

A good example is the young Brighton defender currently in their first team. Such are players that were suppose to be given a chance in the u20 team but once he hits stardom by making decent numbers in the epl and attracting the English and Nigerian Fa it becomes difficult for him to choose

Eze hv always nursed the ambition to play for England but only trained with the super eagles when it seem he wasn’t sure of making it in top flight football. Immediately he started doing well with Qpr in the 2nd tier of English football the FA came calling for him to be part of the u20 team which he hurriedly without hesitation accepted at the expense of a call to the same super eagles team he trained with in the Uk 🇬🇧 earlier

It implies that he’s major goal hv always been to play for he’s country of birth

That's not TRUE.

The problem lies with the NFF not with the Nigerian origin players in Europe.

They don't create relationships in the first instance.

And you will have to admit just like every single quasi government and government body. The official have one major preoccupation. How to make money by hook or crook.

Nigerian born players are obligated to have godfathers in the NFF and sign up with preferred NFF agents or proxies and or even pay their match bonus to NFF officials. The Nigerian born players are far more likely to concede and play along its normal practice to them.

However, that will not work with players born in the UK who are not desperate and will find such demands totally unacceptable.

we are saying the same thing just that I wasn’t too open with the corrupt practices in the nff though my claim of telling this kids to pay for the flight ticket to Nigeria for training sections should be in the same bracket with few other dubious practices you highlighted in your post

Bundisliga is rated three in Europe but Werder Bremen is romancing relegation and is on the lower level of the Bundisliga.

I could talk about club Finances and there would be no comparison. In reality Werder Bremen should be compared to the upper level clubs of the Championship not any club in the EPL.

Nonetheless, I'll make it very easy for you , with a screenshot of the team selection in a recent match. Examinine the players and tell me two players that will get into Everton from Werder Bremen please ❓

And I can give you 10 players from Everton that will walk straight into Werder Bremen, without question.
