So the NFF should focus on the super eagles and super falcons and leave the others at the mercy of the ministry of youth and sports?
What about the local league?

Why do you think the ministry of youth and sports fund the NFF if they don't want them to partake in the responsibility?
I agree that the private sector have a big role to play..In fact, they have been doing quite well, with our academies now giving us some quality exports to Europe, but the NFF are still at the forefront of it all,being the body empowered with football administration in the country..Imagine, we can't even get our national league on TV! A whole Nigeria!

Mind you, I'm not just making reference to the money being spent to approach these players,but also the time and efforts.. It's sending a wrong message back home that the NFF have their priorities set elsewhere.. It shouldn't be so..

See, it isn't even the whole foreign born pursuit matter.. imagine the NFF trying to force NPFL players on the national team with the hope that it would boost the league's profile.. How would that work?
Simply put, we are chasing short term solutions to long term problems...

charlesemeka85:
over the years una don hype nwakali sotey the likes of the players listed below emerged from no where and doing far better than the revered midfield orchestrator according to your likes

Aribo from league one football to the Scottish league and on the verge of earning a move to the epl in the summer

Onyeka from being loaned to danish 2nd tier to claiming a place at the heart of his parent team’s midfield to earn in a surprise move to the epl

Alhassan from youth team competitions in Sweden to earning a contract at Gothenburg and after few season is doing well in the colors of high flying Belgian side royal antwep

Amoo from the Swedish league to one of Scandinavians traditional clubs Copenhagen

Bassey from the youth teams of leicester to one of Britain’s traditional teams Glasgow rangers and currently tipped for a move to the epl

Zaidu from the dust of Kevin state to Portuguese 2nd tier and now with Portugal’s most successful club fc porto

Bonke from the Scandinavians to a ligue 1 club

Onyedika from been a loanee to the danish 2nd tier to a main stay in one of Denmark’s top clubs

Moffi from an obscure league to Belgium and now with a ligue 1 team

This is just a few while the one much have been expected of for the past 7 seasons is still globetrotting in europe with nothing to write home about

charlesemeka85:
imagine the loan fee 80k euros?

Is nwakali this worthless?

Astrid4:



Ministry of youth and sport fund NFF?
Where una dey hear all these news sef

All that matters is that he is impressive on Nigeria shirt. We all saw the game that Ndidi, nwakali, and onyeka played together and saw his impact. 3 clear cut chances created in the first half. Our Set piece became much usuful. I’m not saying that he should be a starter but until you provide an adequate replacement in his position, he is a good squad player.

TheGoodJoe:


So you are finally reading something in the article.

The club gets 80k for loan fees for six months and Burgos will pay the weekly wages of Nwakali. That is why the club wants to suspend him and not pay him.

Now you can rest.

do4luv14:
of all the four players meet by Austin, only Tella is honest enough with us, the rest are certainly not serious, especially that yeye Olise

oga leave sentiment and face fact

So if he becomes clubless tomorrow because of his poor stat na national team football em go Dey feed from abi?

Wetin mk una no wan face facts and reality? Dude is nothing but a flop who is not regarded by a mid table Spanish 2nd tier team. Imagine una over hyped midfield maestro wanted to be tossed by the side for paltry 80k euros in today’s football market? A Nigerian international for that matter? Jezz that’s damn too poor and a big evidence that he is not regarded in his team at all

Astrid4:


It all fake news; the coach didn't meet with any eligible player, only Doherty contacted their agent; tella has already immediately after AFCON

Joezinho:


But Huesca are wicked Sha. Why try loaning him to Burger? Not even Eibar or Almeria.. . Just like going from Warri wolves to bendel insurance. Goes to show how them nor regard am for that segunda.

Huesca don even spend the 80k€ for their mind and money never drop. Imagine waiting for money to drop for acct, you don price car finish only for money to hang.. Pepper eye must set in.

mk we Dey form pride wey we no even get as a nation

Better footballing countries like Italy,England,Germany,Spain just to mention a few they poach players that has links with them but once nff try una go Dey form pride wey una no get

Algeria tried to lure olise earlier at the same time with when we first approached him which he turned both down but they didn’t stop

Even till date they are still working hard to convince him to play for them whereas folks like u call the nff names as they re making a second approach

Dis is 2022 not 1980 or 94 so to compete with the best in word football u need to stretch your hands over board to grab the best you can

charlesemeka85:
so 80k euros for a 6 months loan contract is ok by you for a Nigerian international who if not for anything played at the just concluded afcon?

Players are being loaned out for half a season from 500k euros to 3m euros and here you are so proud to make case of a misfit that his parent clubs is fighting so hard to discard for paltry 80k euros?

U get shame at all

Even such amount cant get you raw talented youngsters from amateur teams and academies in Nigeria

Astrid4:
[/s]


Trash as in hot trash
Is 1.2 billion enough for a whole year to fund the federation?, many of you have not been to glass house so you don't how things goes on over there

NFF is 75% self funded
1.2 billion will never be enough to organize 4 friendly match not to talk about logistics preparation for the male team,female team and other age grade

charlesemeka85:


Adequate replacement?

Oga you and I know that if our best midfielders both home and abroad are listed based on performance and stat nwakali won’t make the top 10 we can boast of

We all know say his inclusion to the afcon team was based on paddy paddy level nothing more nothing less

Nwakali is picking his career up. He is no Benzema at the moment. It is not okay by me but it is far better to earn 3-5k per week than to sit in Owerri and earn nothing.

Joezinho:


Remind me how much arsenal signed him again. 3 million pounds right?

charlesemeka85:
picking which career up abi career that hv been stagnant for God knows when now?

Don’t sugarcoat it but accept the fact that he is a flop who much was expected from but finding it hard to live up to the promise he showed at youth football

If I were him I will take the available option to move to the Arabic peninsula,turkey or China inorder to make retirement money because the way things are going for him now na obscurity be next. He will just fade off which I don’t wish him

Even if he gets snapped up by the Burgos fc the highest he will he is to double is wages which is not even close to 8k euros a week which is very poor for a footballer in mainstream Europe in this era

13large:


It’s not about mouth just list the available “Central Attacking Midfielders” that Eguavoen omitted for nwakali. If dem born you well, mention Any DM

TheGoodJoe:


Poor for a footballer, and better than nothing. Nwakali can net higher wages going to some Arab countries but for now, he is still fighting his way. I am proud of him. You can say he is earning low wages.

That is old school now. He earned a lot for years. He has been counting about 14k weekly for years. Taking some cut to rechannel his career is good.

So you can still shout he is earning small wages. It is not the end of his career as long as he is still fighting.

FINITO.

charlesemeka85:
I doubt bro

charlesemeka85:
who was paying him 14k weekly?

Your own is just to argue and not know anything.

Nwakali took a pay cut of 11k pounds to join Huesca.

Joezinho:


Lol. But definitely not 80k€...Can't remember the time a SE player went on loan for that amount.

Seriously, fans of this dude needs to calm down with the hype and advise him work hard and get back to playing in a proper league. He's U17 golden ball winner ffs! What went wrong?
