TheGoodJoe:


I do not think or agree Balotelli was loved that much. He suffered racist jabs a lot in Italy.

Elxandre:

I would say favouritism, not even discrimination.
Tevez didn't get a look for several years in the Argentine national team despite his ridiculously obvious talent, while lesser players had a shot at a spot.

Zaha is better than Ox, but he plays in lowly crystal palace?
You think reputation of clubs don't matter?
I can bet Zaha would have been an auto starter if he was a starting player for Man United.

I am not even sure who Jack Greilish is

Mikel Arteta was also left out by Spain for several years, even when he was some stunning form, he never was given a look.
Arteta wasn't accepted with open arms by some because his case was a unique one sort of.
A player who saw England as a chance to go to the world cup despite having not participated at the qualifiers.
Some People must have seen him as an opportunist, because that's what I saw him as also.
I also remember he couldn't play for England at the end because a certain FIFA rule at that time disqualified him from representing England.

Owen Hargreaves didn't get a Hero status in England because he started out from Germany.
Messi is worshipped in Spain, but despised by many in Argentina for the same reason.
Is Dele Alli more of an Englishman than Hargreaves is?
Everyone loves Dele, and he's certainly not white!


I stopped believing in all these discrimination crap when Ballotelli became a starter for Italy; a very much racist country.
Ballotelli was loved by everyone. The only reason he fell out of the national team is his stupidity.
Ballotelli benched promising strikers and had praises sang of him.


Eto'o, Drogba, Yaya Toure all show us that "if you're good enough, you're good enough".


I had to reply this night even though I'm sleepy, cause I might not remember to do so in the morning.

Elxandre:
Nihilist. How many total league apps Mikel get for Chelsea sef?
72 in 7 years?

zicky:
what about Ifeanyi Udeze , I think he was also a quality left back

TheGoodJoe:



“Himself (Balotelli), has started realising he made a big mistake playing for the Italian National Team and he has told friends about it”, Barwuah told GazzettaGhana.

“He is not being treated well, true they don’t show him the love he deserves for his great talent and skill. I think that all he gets is abuse, especially from the media here and that is because he is black”.

“They don’t like him and it started from the beginning, they didn’t want to see a black boy like himself taking glory of the Italian National Team.”

Joebie:
many of us will forget him easily. I liked Udeze no doubt.. but you will agree with me. If Alaba had turned out for Nigeria, Taiwo and Udeze would have warmed the bench consistently.. (with much respect to both players) of course, unless they are used in a different position. Just as Oruma would have been an incredible force for Nigeria, had Okocha not dominated that position so well for over a decade. No one stopped Nigerian coaches from using him as number 8 for example... he was banging goals for Sochaux.

TheGoodJoe:


8 was occupied for a long time with Ikpeba and Kanu attacking. Sad for Oruma. He did not show much for us with all his talents because of the competition.

Joebie:
Exactly.. so the same factors would have played out had Alaba turned out for us.. you get my example then

Joebie:
my bro, you notice they all belong to the U17 2009 class. That was the year MRI scan started to be enforced. if you remember John Obuh had to put the team together after the previous team failed the scan. Omeruo, Onazi, Sani Emmanuel etc were also part of the set up. Only Onazi and Omeruo today are established in the SE. However, if they all don't hit great form before age 28, I doubt they ever will.

I THINK Rabiu Ibrahim is way older. The aforementioned players are at least a year or two off their claimed ages, if not their real ages.

chidexxy007:

I dnt think Rabiu is way older cos of the MRI scan rubbish. Remember the '09 U17 class captain Chukwudi Fortune beat it...
Plus he will bring variety to d team. Pls where Joel Obi dy sef?

Joebie:
Joel Obi starts for Torino these days, barring any injury. I think he is not injured at the moment.
I've been following up on him on spotkik.com/eagles-radar

chidexxy007:

Good for him. Rohr should look at his side concerning SE midfield options. He's got d capabilities with a nice left foot and a dead ball specialist.

Joebie:
Henry Onyekuru, I think should be the guy to replace Ighalo. He just helped Eupen beat Gent today on the road

tbaba1234:


He plays more from the wings.

Joebie:
Just like Isaac Success. Modern day forwards are adaptable. Talking true number 9, we don't truly have one at the moment, especially with misfiring Ighalo

chaiii!
*smiling*
Sir Eterisan you de funny o. Na so u de use d replay console yourself...

D guy needs to move on to where his talent will be appreciated.

johnpaul1990:
congrats to our VIP member who won with us yesterday . today fixed sure game is available see picture to subscribe

eterisan:

As crazy as this sounds Sir AIG07 I have a feeling he will stay next season though I want him to play more. Navas will leave that is certain. He is the face of man city's academy. The first to break through, make a name for himself and hold a place for a while. Just watch this space. He will play against Huddersfield in the fa cup. Sometimes I wonder why all this noise. At a time we had 4 strikers in the team,tevez, aguero, balotelli, dzeko and even jovetic another time.
A loan move to West ham might be good though

Chrismario:



Sorry bro

Thank me

AIG07:

The reason for the fuss is that the coach(pep) does not believe in the boy and there is no sign he'll be giving all his strikers fair share of game time like his predecessors(Mancini n Pellegrini).

To me, the best option for Nacho is either to go out on loan or go on a permanent deal. It's obvious he might not get enough playing time under pep and I'm sure u know d effect it will have on such a young lad(Martial n Rashford as an example).
