Roma is a solid club with good European pedigree. If the Italians make a serious offer I think Aina should consider it.

The only thing that might make him not want to leave is maybe departing from familiar environment and family reasons.

SamueItem337:
So Aina should wait until they get relegated before he leaves?
He should settle for 15th in the Epl than playing in Europe?
Una dey surprise me for this thread

Aina has played in Italy before
So it's not an unfamiliar environment

The story of the Nigerian-born striker who is making waves in River Plate's La Sexta

*Jonathan Spiff is a forward and is first in the scoring charts for his category.

River's youth teams are full of unique stories. From footballers who made the jump quickly, as is the case of Franco Mastantuono, who went from the Quinta to the Primera without stopping, to players who were loaned to other clubs and returned to triumph at CARP, as happened with Enzo Fernández . But the story of Jonathan Spiff Asuzu, the top scorer in the Sixth Division, is one of the most peculiar biographies of the club's youth teams.


The 17-year-old forward is a descendant of Goodwin Spiff, a Nigerian immigrant who came to Argentina 20 years ago in search of work and who met Jony's mother, María, from the province of Entre Ríos. Shortly after arriving in the country, the forward's father became a River fan because, as Jonathan acknowledged in an interview with the club, "he went to watch it because it was the team that played the best."

Due to this fanaticism and Jony's skills in playing soccer, his father got him a tryout in Núñez back in 2014 , which he passed in the first practice, allowing him to stay in the club of his loves, where today he is one of the top figures in the lower divisions .

A relentless scorer

Spiff has scored 16 goals in 18 games for the Sixth Division, in which he is the tournament's top scorer. Despite his height of 1.87 metres, the forward has impressive speed , as well as a great ability to define with either of his two legs.

The #9 defined himself as a fast and intelligent player who can read the game. But he also said: " I have an easy time scoring goals , I am very intuitive at creating spaces for myself and participating in the associated game."

The idols of the Spiff

The striker admitted to being a fan of Julián Álvarez , of whom "I watch everything he does and try to copy many things from him," but he also spoke of his father Goodwin's idols. The Nigerian is an admirer of Jay Jay Ococha, the historic African playmaker, and of Burrito Ortega, one of the main reasons for his fanaticism for River.

Here we go again.. the issue of Kalvin Philips getting called up by England despite barely playing anything at City came up sometimes ago, and you defended it with some nonsense about past forms and lack of options... so you just contradicted yourself...
i guess we can conclude that england is not a top european nation. i can remember maguire and calvin philips off the top of my head

Do you know how many people in the world watch a Chelsea match??

Una still dey look Italy like the 1990s players are rejecting Juventus and Inter to play in Aston Villa, Philogene rejected Barca to play in Aston Villa, Epl is where the attention of the world is and a career savvy player would like to play there

I’m just praying and hoping for two 3-0 wins against Libya during this our double header. We do that and we’d likely have punched our ticket to the next AFCON with two games to spare i.e. two games to experiment with the squad and formations.

I’d also like it if we could try a different formation outside of the 442 or 343. I’d like us to try either a 433 or 352.

If we plan on using Iwobi or Dele as an attacking MF, then we need two solid B2B midfielders near him to relieve him of defensive duties.
We played 4-3-3 against South Africa in uyo na, we were just unfortunate that day

What's up with Eletu of Milan and Frederick of Brentford, why didn't they go on loan like Akin?
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Hotepking: 10:22am
I've got a good feeling that Boniface will finally open his goal scoring account today, he's bagging a brace today (you heard it here first cheesy).

Eletu really bothers me cause I see he him as a medium to long term quality addition to the SE. If AC Milan doesn't have him in their long term future I think they should let him go so he can begin playing competitive men's football.

As for Frederick I think Brentford rate him if not he wouldn't have been given a contract I'm optimistic his time will come maybe in lesser competitions like the FA Cup. If nothing changes by end of this season then a loan to move to the championship will be a good option.

You mean Torino D Law.

That was when he was younger and looking for game time now at this stage of his life where family concerns might take precedence moving abroad might not be what he wants but hey that's just my opinion.

Game day! Praying and optimistic for an emphatic win.

Sincerely believe we have enough talent to get the job done. Hope AE and his technical crew bring their A game.

LET'S GO SUPER EAGLES!

Condolences to the family of the TV Crew member who lost his life in the unfortunate kidnapping incident while on his way to Uyo.

Pray for the safe rescue and return of those still missing.
