Again you are offering emotive speculations as fact.

This is the mistake you are making you're still relying on the ''NFF is corrupt'' narrative to drive your points which are still hear say.

Are you insinuating that Lookman parted with money to have his switch confirmed? If that is your assertion you have to bring evidence not all this 'you know, you know' you keep harping on.

komekn:


The NFF is not the only government body that is corrupt. Corruption in Nigeria is endemic and institutionalised.

We have an EFCC that is supposed to be fighting corruption but we have found to be r corruption ridden in itself.

And you are asking me for evidence.

I did not say £££ changed hands .

Can you explain the three years delay ❓

You are nakedly bigoted with double standard as your name tag.

Look at the unit of measurement you are using to assess Thierry Henry. Using that same unit of measurement you found Nwakali and others to be outstanding.

It's comedic.

Honestly, I have no idea why a country can be producing quality strikers on a weekly basis but cannot produce enough Attacking or center Midfielders. The midfield position is the engine of a team and without a solid midfield, your team will remain imbalanced. For now, we only have Ndidi, aribo, etebo, frank, Nwakali and iwobi at our disposal

time and chance. There was a time we had a plethora of midfielders and defenders..no striker. Patience....it will happen.

mostob:
Onyedika

Alhassan Yusuf

Nwobodo

Yet we're after Eze and Olise begging them.
For club football, money and other things might be the motivation but for country, it's passion.
At the end of the day, these FBs will be playing for us out of pity and not for love and passion.

Thierry Henry flopped at Juventus.

Diego Forlan flopped at Manchester United.

TheGoodJoe:


What is an open mind? Thierry Henry came to Juventus as a top player from Monaco. Big things were expected. With time, with dissatisfaction from the manager and even fans, Thierry Henry ended up on the bench. Later was sold to a smaller club with respect to Juventus, Arsenal. Henry was a flop. This is not what someone told me or read a blog.

He flopped. He was a disappointment.

andrewbaba44:


You don’t know the meaning of flop

Diego forlan wasn’t a regular player at man united and scored some important goals ,maybe you where expecting a Brazilian Ronaldo performance from him then

Thierry Henry spent only 6 months at juve playing as a winger wing back and the right part of the midfield with 16 games 3 goals and 2 assist and you call him a flop ?

If na Nigeria player get this stats now playing off his position Na so you go don write epistle here Dey defend nonsense

Karlovych:
He spent 6 months at juventus, you all become objective when criticizing other players but when Rodgers keeps benching Iheanacho your blue font will be writing epistles of bias against him.

Karlovych:

Thierry Henry with 3 goals in 16 appearances in 6 months at Juventus is a flop to you?
Diego Forlan with 10 league goals in 63 appearances for Manchester united is a flop to you?
Kelechi Nwakali is not a career flop at all his clubs according to you, your hypocrisy is unbelievable

TheGoodJoe:


That is why you can see me stand behind players like Iheanacho, Osimhen, Sadiq, and Nwakali because I know with the right factors in place, the player can do better.

TheGoodJoe:

From Daily Mail

Forlan's dream move to Old Trafford in January 2002 quickly turned sour as critics began to question his ability and it took him an agonising eight months to grab his first goal for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.

He believes he struggled in England due to Ferguson's policy of rotating his players. Forlan told PA International:

"You need to play all the games for the full 90 minutes and that will then give you a chance to find your feet. "When you are on the bench you are not finding the rhythm of the game and this also has a knock-on effect with your confidence.

"When you play one game and don't score you then wonder if you are going to be in the team the next week and it dents your self-belief."

I am not throwing darts at Forlan, I am explaining that situations can make a good player look poor. I felt excited when Forlan joined Manchester United after watching him play for Uruguay in Nigeria 99. He was brilliant for his country then.

He had a tough time in Manchester United but I never gave up my belief in his quality. Manchester United fans used to ask me what I saw in this Forlan and I kept hammering he was brilliant in Nigeria 99.

Under Pellegrini at Villarreal, he became one of the best forwards in European football.

If you read his words, you see why I point to systems and factors affecting players and why lots of komekn's theories are wrong.

TheGoodJoe:


I do not get your point. I am not in anyway criticising Henry if that is the idea you are getting. I am actually clearing an opinion.

It was from Thierry Henry I learnt that a player not performing to the best of his capability does not mean the player is not good.

The team I support in France is Monaco, due to one of our elite players, Victor Ikpeba. In his team, Henry was a young wizard. Quality players and was part of the World Cup winning squad.

As a fan of Henry, I had big expectations from his move to Juventus. He flopped and I wondered how such a good player will flop.

He went to Arsenal and Wenger who was his coach at Monaco changed his role and position. He became one of the deadliest forwards in the history of football.

I learnt a big lesson about how tactics and position can undermine the true quality of a player.

Papi85:
eze never said he is not open to playing for us but said he needed time and made it known that his first option which is his country of birth and to be honest I don’t blame him for making that known

Same goes to olise who also turned the advances of Algeria down same as he did to us buy not shutting the door outright to both nations

It will be a win win situation if both decide to pitch tent with us and I see nothing wrong with the nff and eguavoen trying to revisit their case

The likes of aluko,Moses,aina,ebuehi,amoebi and recently lookman once turned us down with an eye on the national teams of their country of birth but later rescind their decisions

Make we no Dey pass judgement sometimes based of emotions

ChrisKels:
With the way David Doherty(one of the advisors of Ebere Eze) is working with Eguavoen and Amunike, I have a feeling that we might just nick Eze soon.

jihday:
make we dey talk true, Eze didn’t need anytime he was/is only trying to wait for England. He actually chose to play for England U-21 over playing for us

Why didn’t you stand for Henry and Forlan also ?

charlesemeka85:
eze and olise are attacking midfielders while those you mentioned are dm and CMs
