Nice one

That's if those foreign clubs will release the players.

Nice list

Well...My Advice

For The Foreign Based, Play Hard To Impress Your Country And Club And To Win The Trophy.

For The Local Based, SELL YOURSELF!!!

good

Serbia won d U20 world cup, whr was Serbia at d U17 which we won? Mali and Senegal played d third place math, d same teams we defeated enroute to d CAF cup glory, who defeated d Germans dat sent us packing from d Worldcup?

I wiill not blive dis team cos once one does, dey will disappoint!

Wheneva I see Nacho, Awoniyi, Simon, Alampasu, Zahradeen Bello....I see glimpse of hope if only dey are well managed!

As for Siasia, wen we expect him to perform, he also fails! It's like it's a Nigerian tin to disappoint!

We neva gave d super eagles a chance at afcon 2013....dey dissapointed us and won it

We blive Siasia is hope of d eagles, he disappointed by making us miss afcon 2012. We expected him to win AAG football gold, he dissapointed again!

After d tigers won d afrobasket 2015, we expected a walk-over at AAG, d reverse was d case

Even in our politics: 2011, GEJ was our saviour, 2015, we know wat happened and for those of us aving hope in PMB, let's hope he will fail so dat he can perfom!

sukkot:
cool list

Goodluck boys

CR77:

PRINCE AGGREY is one hell of a player for Sunshine Stars. Watched him a few times on TV this season and he's been marvellous.
