Sadiq Slams Gerrard Over Poor Treatment During Loan Spell With Rangers

Umar Sadiq has sensationally claimed Rangers still owe him money from his time on loan at the club.

The Ibrox loan flop had his season long loan spell cut short in December and isn’t impressed by how he was treated by the club.

And Sadiq has also revealed he was fined £20,000 by the club over a social media post during his time in Glasgow.

The Nigerian is currently out on loan at Perugia in Serie B after returning to parent club Roma.

It was a nightmare six months for him in Glasgow as he joined the club but played just five times and making one start.

That came in the 1-0 defeat to Aberdeen in the Betfred Cup semi-final and Steven Gerrard had earlier criticised the big forward for his performances in training and insisted he wasn’t capable of starting for the club.

He was forced to play him with Kyle Lafferty cup-tied and Alfredo Morelos suspended and was slammed by fans after the game.

But Sadiq insists Rangers withheld money due to him in December despite his loan spell ending early in the month.

“All of a sudden, I was told that I could not use the first-team dressing room any more. Instead, I had to go change with the kids. Then after a few days I was also forbidden to park my car inside the training centre,”he told the Sunday Post.

“I felt humiliated and kept asking what was the reason for the change of attitude but I never received any answers.

“Gerrard wouldn’t give any explanation about it, neither to me nor my representatives. I believe absolutely that I was not given a fair chance to show what I can do. They made me feel like a stranger. I started only once and that was when there were no other strikers available.

“For me everything went wrong after they brought in another striker. Once I put a ‘like’ on Instagram to a post from a fan and I was fined £20,000 which was absurd. And Rangers didn’t even pay me up everything I was due. They still have to give me my salary for December.”

But while the 22-year-old isn’t overly happy with Gerrard, and admitted he doesn’t care how the club do on the pitch, he revealed there is one player he will keep an eye out for in the future.

He added: “I honestly don’t care how they do. As long as I was a Rangers player, I behaved like a professional, giving everything I could of myself to the shirt but now I don’t want to hear about them and what they are doing anymore.

“In my opinion, they behaved in a disrespectful way to me, both as a player and as a person. When it ended, Steven Gerrard didn’t even have the courage to talk to me and tell me what was happening face-to-face.

“One man I do wish all the cluck and success to in the future is Alfredo Morelos. He was my fellow striker, and I felt good with him during the time I was in Scotland. I would say that he is a very good player and an exceptional guy. He will be one of the few that I will follow with affection.”

What else ?Flop player overhyped here

charlesemeka85:
heard he is interested in playing for 9ja

I thought I have posted this before

ChrisKels:
FC Basel rave of the moment and Dortmund target, Arinzechukwu Noah Okafor;

” The idea of playing for Nigeria is one I dream about daily. I follow the national teams of Nigeria very well and a call up to any of the teams will be a dream come true for me and my family as well”

Thats my boy!!!

Humility017:


there is no need bro. ...we are going to loose him..
Austria don't have so much players like that. ..the NFF is too slow to beat such a nation for a player of that kind....

so ABEG relax....

Switzerland rather, dont rush players of African descent into their senior national team. I remember the cases of Johan Djorou, Breele Embolo, Manuel Akanji et al.

Top Swiss FA official once said there should be restrictions to check against the influx of players of dual nationalities into the Swiss national teams. After this statement, Akanji posted a pic of himself beside a pool, in Super Eagles shirt.

Humility017:

Bro...forget it the NFF is too slow except rohr take it upon himself..
Austria gonna invite him to the main national team immediately should this move materialise

Dude wanna play for the U20s, lets see what that innit criminal called Aigbogun gonna do over it, instead of filling the team with grandpas

Humility017:
don't say so...it is because you don't know him. I see him as next alaba.... should he play for Austra...it will be a plus for them. the boy will be a great player mark these words

Next Alaba? Are u sure u kno this player, really?

Hi, what do you do ?Do you work in an organization ? If yes imagine these above been melted on you without your manager having the courage to tell you why and see if if you remain productive at work.

Think Mr Man Think !

charlesemeka85:
austria ke!

Humility017:

is he a Nigerian?

the NFF really have so much job to do..
you have to act fast in the speed of light to beat nations like Switzerland, Austria etc for players. ...of this kind

No Basel player goes by the name, Francis Cagigao. In fact, in the history of Swiss football, no name of such has ever been written on the blue&red shirts of Basel, from the youth teams through the senior teams.

I wonder where MbjAndrew got that one from

Can a player born in 27 January 1997 play in the olympics?

Anyone here has an idea on how to run a viewing center

Humility017:

don't say so...it is because you don't know him.
I see him as next alaba....
should he play for Austra...it will be a plus for them.
the boy will be a great player mark these words

Na so we go dey hear.

BascoVanVeli:
Can a player born in 27 January 1997 play in the olympics?

Yes. Next Olympics is for players born not before 1st January 1997. So any player born any time in 1997 or after is elligible.

You don unearth one player for us?

I noticed no mention of Oviemuno Ejaria by Sadiq or the youth player that replaced him in a U23 match and promptly scored a hat trick.

Can u for once disappoint us by failing to be an ass, as usual? U read everything he said, the betrayal, the deception, the insults, all the inhumane treatments meted on him, and all could offer was that crap? U smell badly, for real, u do.

Ogbeni close mouth ... He is a flop ...I don't know why you all love lies and massaging your egos with more lies. Here is a flop shipped out for being a flop although people like you will definitely call it racism. I can remember one time Iheanacho Nacho mbappe better than kylian Kelechi scored for Mancity and his teammates rushed to restart because they were loosing ,but you all here tagged it racism ffs !!! Even when Mancity shipped out Iheanacho Nacho mbappe better than kylian Kelechi and retained Gabriel Jesus , hell opened and y'all tagged pep Guardiola a racist for shipping out a floppy disk . It's normal for you guys and I'm awaiting you people to tag Stephen Gerrard A racist for shipping out a below below average player once more

Brugge winger Dennis Bonaventure has blamed the poor surface at the Stade de Ben Guerdane for Nigeria's loss against Libya which has put them in a difficult position of advancing to the AFCON U23 tournament, but is upbeat about their chances of mounting a sensational comeback at the Stephen Keshi stadium in Asaba on Monday.

Two goals in either half from Zakaria Alharaish and Osama Albedwi left Imama Amapakabo's wards with a mountain to climb in their bid for qualification but Bonaventure has attributed part of the defeat to the playing surface in Tunisia which disrupted their rhythm of play.

Speaking on an Instagram video, Dennis reiterated that the turf was complicated playing on but the team has however, put behind that loss and are focused on getting a favorable result in front of their own fans.

"Yes, it was a painful thing we lost. We wanted to win the game and give everything for Nigerians", he said.

"The pitch was not all that good, was a bit complicated playing on, but then, that's not an excuse for defeat, and in the next game on Monday, we just to go out and make sure we do everything to win because it is very important.

"I hope by the end, we will come out victorious and then everybody is happy."

Dennis was sacrificed in a tactical switch after goalkeeper Adamu Abubakar was sent off in Tunisia on Wednesday and it still remains to be seen if he will be handed a starting berth again.

This one is complaining that the Libya pitch was bad.

I wonder what he will have to say about the Asaba potato farm.

So far, 8 of the qualified AFCON teams are from West Africa
One of Benin and Togo to qualify later today... If Tanzania fail to beat Uganda and Cape Verde beats Lesotho then it's 10

The pitch in Tunisia was astro
the foreign based pros aren't used to playing on astro pitches..

Amuneke's tanzania 2 goals up

the Tanzania captain is a Gem very good player

isan:
Amuneke's tanzania 2 goals up

It's 3 already

Tanzania is ripping Uganda apart 3-0
going into this game Uganda has not concede a single goal in the AFCON qualifier

[color=#770077][/color]

My prediction for tomorrow's match:

We will win the match but Libya will qualify.

We need to stop playing matches in our mushroom stadia just for political sentiments. Look at the stadium in DR Congo, Zimbabwe, Tanzania very big and wide pitches. It makes football interesting. Not that Asaba rice farm

the Tanzania stadium impress me and the pitch is not bad ...FULL CAPACITY

Like you said, Baba Sadiq is a flop. And that's it.

If my boss doesn't like me, i will double my effort to become the very best at what I do. That way, my boss will be forced to acknowledge my value as I would become indispensable to the establishment.

That's what any right-thinking person would do.

And what will you call that eyesore of a pitch in Asaba?
