Sad Huesca's management is so greedy and wants him to work as a slave for them. This should have been a turning point.
greedy? Baba football na business and we must thank huesca for coming to his rescue when no club were interested in signing him after being released by arsenal cheesy

They gave him a platform to play in almighty laliga and if he covered himself in glory before the teams demotion they would hv hurriedly handed a better new contract to him atleast to triple his weekly wages which will be a little above 10k euros

Blame the coach who used the outdated 442 formation and couldn't read the game and play to counteract whatever formation he saw in front of him..

Playing 442 in 2022 with only two CMs tasked with both creating and defending is just rubbish.

Villareal is very good with their 4-4-2. They use it to stretch the pitch laterally, hugging the touchline on both sides while playing sideways passes. It is very difficult to play against them with the way they are set up, Juve struggled badly today. They are just really missing Gerard Moreno, he is the king in that formation.

GoodJ, let's be realistic here. He signed the contract. He read the terms. He should have held his own side of the agreement.. He didn't report to the club 10 days after afcon. That's unprofessional. Abumeyang nor do pass this before Arteta kicked his ass out.

You might say he didn't wana get sold that was why he didn't return but he can't be forced to sign for burgos if he doesn't want to.

Now he hasn't a game since afcon. His fitness will drop..Do you think he should be included in the SE squad to face Ghana?

The calibre of players he started to call up after the Nations cup victory was embarrassing, currently I support the coaches approaching the players until they make it clear they are not interested. Other national teams also grab players for their rivals.

This is the most annoying part of the Nwakali dilemma. You would have thought that with the first brother falling into the trap of big club signing + endless loans + getting comfortable with big money, the younger would see a precedent and be wiser in his decision making. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Look at Osimhen for example. Any mistake Osimhen made early in his career would not only affect him but his entire family and community because he is the one singlehandedly carrying them financially. The pressure and stakes to succeed are so high that he has no choice but to do so. That is what drives him and makes him want to die on the pitch.

Once you start getting comfortable in your current situation, you can't move further. The Nwakali brothers are clear examples.

You guys are being unnecessarily petty...
Going after foreign borns isn't an issue.... I don't know what angle thegoodjoe is getting at, but for me, the NFF shouldn't be spending so much resource just to convince one or two foreign born players to represent us when such resources could be channelled into developing our grassroot football back home. It appears that the NFF don't have much interest in developing our grassroot football, which is unfortunate, seeing as it has always been a source of pride for us.
See, I'm also a big basketball fan and I support our national team passionately.. The men and female team is filled 95% with foreign born players and i totally support it.. Why? because we aren't a basketball playing nation! We don't have the talent and resource for it.. But you see America, we have plenty of people there who develop the passion for the sport back there . But the same can't be said of football... The NFF shouldn't, in the in their relentless pursuit of FB players forget their primary responsibility of developing our football back home..
So na the money wey Pinnick, Eguavoen and Amunike take fly go UK, book hotel and go round to see the players or all the monies used so far to talk to and convince FB na im go develop the local league? At least by the bolded that is what you are saying.

I'm all for developing the league but the money spent to convince FB players is just a paltry sum compared to the huge amount, energy and planning required to develop the league.

And I dare say that the development of the league does not just mean the development of the footballing aspect. It's a whole ecosystem comprising of football academies, stadiums, media and other important factors

When you are turned down the first time, it could mean she's playing hard to get.. You can try again another time and if she says no, it most definitely means she isn't interested..
Why force? What if she later say yes to you out of pity? don't you think you will be making yourself look miserable??
I don't believe in spending so much energy in chasing something where there's an alternative to such thing... The only thing worth chasing with no alternative is the kingdom of God cheesy
Bro, as far as women issues are concerned they are people who are happily married today whose wives rejected them more than 10 times.

I know a lady who her husband started asking her out when she was an early undergraduate. It was after she finished law school, served and was looking for a job that she said yes to him. Her main complain was that the guy was short. But today they are happily married.

And that applies across all aspects of life. Some wrote jamb once and got admission. So wrote it 5 or 6 times. If No is taken as the ultimate answer for any endeavor, I bet you humanity will not make progress.

I like this your logic ehn.... So if a lady rejected you thrice and was even willing to date a guy not up to your standard,you will still go back and beg her right?
There is a saying 'marry who love you more than you love her' why? Because she would be ready to do anything for you...she will be ready to ride with you through thick and thin.(this is what Thegoodjoe meant by passion)

Now, if the lady that rejected you thrice now decided to accept your advance, that's when you become a Simp pro max ... She will automatically become the husband while you become the wife...she will be the one dictating for you...she may decide one day to break up with you and there is nothing you can do, she can even roll out a timetable for you and you will follow it whether you like it or not ....

To the girl that will only date you when you're ready made (Olise) , as you know that life can't be rosy all the time, how sure are you that she will stay with you throughout the down times?


I laugh whenever you guys are quick to mouth off this simping cliché. Una Alfa males do not even know that in the age of the real Alfas, chivalry was a mark of the men of that age and I bet if many of you guys see them going about being chivalrous to women, courting them, being sweet on them, you guys would have called them simps yet those guys stand head and shoulders above you guys as far as masculinity goes.

Go and read laws of seduction and see Alfas going the 'simping' length to proposition the women they love.

Small thing, una don label other guys simp.

your post is full of prejudice and emotion

No one is offering them the captains arm band or a starters shirt on a platter of gold and since they re yet to be capped by their country of birth we won’t stop talking to them

No be your kind here stated that what they can offer ejike and olise will offer same which I will say is lame and dumb

Them no Dey hide gold nor diamond because both are already highly rated in one of the best leagues in the world with massive release clause. Olise is currently wanted by Arsenal,Bayern and Chelsea while epl new money bags Newcastle are ready to splash 45m pounds on eze to lure him to tyneside

The ejike I saw at afcon needs serious football tutelage before making the leap to a bigger league out of Russia while nwakali’s inclusion to the afcon team is a huge Favour from eguavoen because he has done nothing at all to deserve training with the team let alone making the final team to the afcon proper

It’s high time you guys face fact than been sentimental and emotional at the same time
So where did I state the bold or you just want to go on a rant?

To your second paragraph, my kind is not here. I am the only of my kind here, so find another thing to say.

I can't remember anybody saying Ejuke is better but if you do, help me point it out.

Where I have issue with Olise is not about him coming in but we dropping somebody who helped us qualify for him since he is waiting for us to qualify first. Why not he come in and help us qualify instead of waiting for us to qualify? Does he consider himself not good enough to aid our qualification to the world cup or what is hindering him from declaring for us?

Regarding the huge favour to Nwakali, I asked you this question before the AFCON and I'm still asking you again now, who should we have taken in his stead to the AFCON as a midfielder? Or should we have gone with only three players instead? You're yet to answer this question. Maybe you can help us with the answer this time.

But Olise said we should qualify first, isn't it the Jebusites that will qualify us before your almighty Olise will come in and help us win the world cup?

If we keep out all the Jebusites, who then are we going to call up to help us qualify so that the Israelite in Olise can lift the world cup for us?

Budget: NFF to get N1.2bn from sports ministry

The Nigeria Football Federation is expected to get the sum of N1,231,725,243 from the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development for the 2021 fiscal year, The PUNCH reports.

The Ministry of Sports proposed the sum of N181,104,352,458 to be spent in the 2021 fiscal year.

https://punchng.com/budget-nff-to-get-n1-2bn-from-sports-ministry/
The Sports ministry does not fund the NFF. They don't generate revenue. The sports ministry only covers the NFF budget in their budget so that they can be funded by the federal government. Only ministries can submit budget for the president to approve, develop and take to the parliament. It is still presidency to the rescue when funds fall short.

Besides, I told you guys that the NFF budget is not for grassroot development. Can't you see it now? Even the paltry 1.2 billion may not handle all expenses. Perhaps it would be a good thing to start questioning how the N181 billion the sport ministry has access to, is being spent this year.

Blame the right people.

How is taking a pay cut and accepting a slave contract show Nwakali Kelz is comfortable with the current situation? The young man is currently at war with his club because he refused to continue in a slave deal, hoping to make a move as a free agent to get a better club.

I have never seen the young man comfortable with his situation.
