This is a lesson for all our young men, there is no reason to rush in life. Now the whole world is at his finger tips.

TheGoodJoe:


Why do you think the whole world will not be on his tips if he was flourishing at Celtic?

” When Brian received the offer to play for Nigeria, he turned to me for advice. My position was simple. I recommend him to take time to develop his skills, to become better and stronger and hope that he’ll get the opportunity to play for the Russian national team. If that doesn’t happen , he can always come back and talk with the Nigerian national team”, Gadzhiev amkar perm manager
said.

if this words are true...and this lad yield to this dull manager's advice...he should never come near Nigeria's camp...they take Nigeria as a dumping ground...nonsense


it is so painful we won't be participating in this year under 20 world cup...so believe we could have gone far in the tourney and stars will be discovered and absolved in the SE

to be true if less than 20% of Nigerians who reside in Europe could produce players we all clamouring for their inclusion in SE... how much more the 80% back home...

the problem we have been having is mismanagement...think they're more good players in Nigeria than diaspora

if this is true, he should not come near the SE camp, how can a player like this give his 101% to Nigeria?

It is true. That was the advice his coach gave him. It is fairly old news though.

Declaring for Nigeria will reduce his market value in russia. Every team in Russia have to play 6 players eligible for the russian national team. It can even affect game time.

maidaboi:
except he is not good, a team can not bench their best player because of not playing for their country e.g zaha. So if dele alli had played for nigeria he will be on the bench for his club?

BascoVanVeli:


Then he would be stuck at celtic, i doubt they would agree to sell him after 6 months.

Humility017:

exactly sir.
now.....he has the opportunity to negotiate fr improved wage...I really appreciate the club maturity... the rifts then was all treated as a family affair and he was never maltreated afterwards

tbaba1234:


It is not always about being good. If a team has to fill a position between a russian and him of similar quality, they will go with the Russian because they have to play 6 russians in every team

TheGoodJoe:


I doubt the aim should just be about making a big move in a short time. The aim should focus on his growth. With a longer history at Celtics, scoring loads will land him on a higher level than just what he has already done.

Moving to Liverpool as a quality Eupen player is a different League from moving to Liverpool as a quality Celtics player. With Celtics he would also have Champions League rep under his name.

Wish Onyekuru the best. Totally against a move to Arsenal.

i think staying in belgium was the best thing and now he may even win the MVP of african decent in the league which will boost his profile

That is perception but I think a move to Celtics would have given Onyekuru a chance to do more than what he is doing at Eupen. Also giving him a chance to land on a bigger stage with a far bigger profile.

At the end, I hope he makes the most of where ever he lands.

I agree Celtic is not a small club. They have players who have moved on to the best clubs in Europe for big money.

Moussa Dembele left Fulham to Celtic rejecting moves to Tottenham, Chelsea amongst a host of other clubs.

That move has seen his profile rise even higher, it was reported during the January transfer window a offer in excess of £40 million was made but politely declined.

If Onyekuru had gone to Celtic his profile would be much higher. Having Dembele as a forward partner would have helped him even further.
