You go from it seems and to he does. So, it is no more blacks but black Africans. Guardiola is not a racist. If he was a racist, he would have sent Eto out along with Ronaldinho.

Yaya's agent was clearly off his duty when he blasted Guardiola repeatedly. Yet, he accepted Yaya back after he apologized.

Nasri, Joe Hart were dropped from the team. These are white Europeans. If they were Africans, you would have screamed racism.

He has worked well with Alaba and Boateng. Improving them along the way. Chill with the racist tag.

BascoVanVeli:



They have to get picked by a top team first before u can make that judgement. Players like Salami, Onobi, Matthew did just fine at their clubs getting rave reviews.

ChrisKels:


Sir u misconstrued my assertion. I never casted any aspartion from a racism related angle. I clearly stated that he works well with blacks like Abidal, alaba and Co though Europeans but it seems or worst yet, without rigmarolling, he does hate African players.

ChrisKels:


Don't mean to under rate any of the afore mentioned players especially Mathew, but rave reviews in a Scandinavian league? Not just Scandinavian but Norwegian league of all leagues. Lol Peter Ijeh comes to mind. I was talking about Europe top leagues and u r headed for Scandinavia. Do u even know how many times Salami left our shores for Europe on trials before he finally ended in Kups? If spartak had swooped on Salami, he would have undergone a trial before any deal could be reached. Norwegian league is an obscure league bro don't compare it with the Russian league and I don't think Kups is as good as the worst team in Russia. IMO

Mourinho set to lure Mikel to Man Utd





Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho is set to make a shock move to bring his former
midfielder, Mikel John Obi to Old Trafford from
Chelsea.

Super Eagles captain, Mikel, has not played under new Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte and there are no plans to renew his contract which runs out this season.


The Sun reports that Mourinho is ready to take
advantage of the situation with a cut-price New
Year offer for the Nigeria international midfielder
the Red Devils thought they had signed 10 years ago.


Mikel had just turned 19 when the Old Trafford
outfit announced on their website that they had
signed him on a four-year contract from
Norwegian club FC Lyn-Oslo.


The £4 million transfer was done directly with the player and his club — bypassing his agents and he was even pictured in a United shirt.


But Chelsea angrily claimed they had an
agreement with the agents to buy him.

Things turned nasty when it was reported Mikel
started to get threatening phone calls and ended up having to take refuge in a safe hotel with a security guard.


He then went missing from Lyn amid stories he
had been kidnapped.

Mikel had actually travelled to London where he
went on Sky Sports TV to claim that he had been pressured into signing for United, something they denied, and he wanted to join the Blues.


The matter was resolved when Chelsea paid
United £12 million and FC Lyn-Oslo £4 million.


If a deal happens then it will be the second time Mourinho will sign Mikel, who he believes can play in a defensive midfield role in front of the back four. He needs that type of player to give £89 million Paul Pogba freedom to roam.

He does not hate African players, this is a huge accusation to make without any evidence.

BascoVanVeli:


Troost Ekong was just in Norway. He is better than any defender in Russia. IMO

BascoVanVeli:

Who is making this joke?

ChrisKels:


How many African players have had it so well under Pep? Keita ? Benatia? Eto or Yaya?

I asked u guys a while back why is it that Brazilian players cost more and i heard about quality of league. That may be correct but the real reason is that Nigerians have just not been fancied. Etebo alone should tell u that we are being heavily under priced in Europe, Kolanut boy went to Morroco instead of Lille, it says something that an African team was more willing to sign our player than a French team. Mark my words in the coming years the prices will sky-rocket, these same teams will see the errs of their ways, like how dare u let Ifeanyi Matthew go to Norway? Etebo goes to Portugal after the commentator at the u23 afcon said real madrid, barca come get this boy, it just does not add up.

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly, what you say is true. I just no wan talk too much. If Etebo was ETEBINHO... And Brazillian added to what he did in Rio..... Haba!!! Na Chelsea, Man city, Arsenal, Real madrid, Bayern munich and Barcelona go dey scramble for him signature.

Nigerian players have never been really fancied but that is going to change soon.

The thing is a very large percentage of Nigerian youngsters fail to live up to expectation.

Most of our players do not progress well. Clubs in Europe have identified that.

Kups is in Finland not Norway.

TheGoodJoe:


Like seriously, will you prefer to employ a worker whose experience is working for some low profile briefcase company over a worker from a Multinational company? That is why players from the top rated leagues cost more. Not fancy.

Our players need to boost their profiles from other leagues with higher reputations than ours.

BascoVanVeli:



I was going with the climate angle but just becos a league is better doesn't make the player inferior. For example Brazil has not put out a player like Etebo[color=#006600][/color] in years, the boy was ready for Europe before he left Warri.

ChrisKels:


Thank u sir. Lol that's even worst than I thought hahahahha. Finnish league of all leagues. One of (if not) the worst league in Europe. Lol they should also be making waves in Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Belarus Malta even India and their ilks not just the Finnish League.

TheGoodJoe:


You go from it seems and to he does. So, it is no more blacks but black Africans. Guardiola is not a racist. If he was a racist, he would have sent Eto out along with Ronaldinho.

Yaya's agent was clearly off his duty when he blasted Guardiola repeatedly. Yet, he accepted Yaya back after he apologized.

Nasri, Joe Hart were dropped from the team. These are white Europeans. If they were Africans, you would have screamed racism.

komekn:


Are you being objective? I actually remember Etebo when he was at teenager at Warri Wolves.

Brazil has not produced a player like Etebo in years

BascoVanVeli:


Only Salami and Onobi play in Finland, Ifeanyi has been one of the best players in Norway and that is no small feet. Also i could add the guys who have gone to North Africa, Ajayi is on fire for the Egyptian giants.

TheSuperNerd:
In the last 4years or so... A fine "sizeable" percentage seem to be progressing just fine now... Things will change soon.... I believe...
