BascoVanVeli:Then your opinion is different from that of the writer of that article as well as mine especially as per the bolded because I know that as one ages in football - indeed for any sport - one's performance dwindles. There comes a time when your strength will lag behind your experience. |

komekn:I have explained what I mean in an earlier response. Their nationality reads 'England' not 'Nigeria' I love patois (this is the correct spelling Sir) with its heavy and slow drawl. Very exotic. Have you read Lonely Londoners by Sam Selvon? If you have not, please read it. You go laugh tire yet it depicts the experiences of first generation immigrants to the UK in an unforgettable way. And yes there's a Nigerian in it. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: That is on an individual basis. Bournemouth gave the guy a 3 year contract so I guess we share the same opinion. Form does not always have to be about age, Defoe still moves well but he is not scoring goals. If he can recapture his Sunderland form then the decision becomes a little tougher. |

junnyjake: If they want to help Nwakali get work permit because he has totally failed to live up to expectations as at now then they should extend such gesture to all Nigerians on contract with English clubs. Even Taiwo Awoniyi who is doing better than Nwakali has never been mentioned by any here. He has even done better than Oshimen but favourism has brought both to the national team. Why? Is Awoniyi not a Nigerian? Don't even think I am in anyway clamouring for Taiwo to be called into the National team. No. In the place i come from you must work hard to achieve you aims. 1 Like |

forgiveness: Nwakali didn't get work permit to feature for Girona which was why he never got to play a game for them. I don't see how that is failure in his side. Read the part I bolded in the report. TheGoodjoe erroneously suggested that the coach was being racist because Nwakali was the only black in the team then and he wasn't getting games. So what you wrote up there has nothing to do with what I was saying. 2 Likes |

Here is the cheap goal Pantillimon conceded against Las Palmas yesterday. I don't see both Tyton and Pantillimon as threats to our boy Uzoho. Go back and take what rightly belongs to you boy.

tbaba1234:I don't think it's because of experience cos Onazi, Echiejile, Musa, Moses have the experience. Mikel is inspirational. And any player regardless of experience can inspire the team. Infact the team psychologist should talk to the squad to wean themselves off the mentality that once Mikel doesn't play or is substituted our game has to suffer for it. Portugal won the last Euro without Ronaldo. In fact they played better after he was substituted. 1 Like |

When did work permit all of a sudden became difficult to get in Spain? ![]() ![]() Is it not the same coach that is playing Kayode? ![]() ![]() Nwakali failed to meet up to expection hence the need to look for a league that befits his standard. Norway was the perfect for his below per average level. ![]() Unfortunately, he has also falling short of the requirements for work permit in England hence the need to use the National team.

Mujtahida: Firstly, you are wrong, using the principles of law, there are clear rules governing evidence. If those rules are breached then it becomes inadmissible. I stand by my analogy to ensure probity and fair play there must be criteria that governs players selection. Once you do not have clear, measurable and identifiable processes then it becomes open to abuse. I said earlier, once objective parameters are lost then subjective personal preference takes place. In our country that's a recipe for disaster and the foundation for all things corrupt. Once again if you circumvent the pre- requisite qualifications and by pass them it's wrong and unfair. It's very possible for a person with two O/levels to by pass the requisite qualifications for entrance into university and put thier head down and get a first class degree. But it's WRONG it means that those who were more deserving were essentially cheated. That's corruption. If that's what you think is OK then you are part of the problem not the solution. With regards to football who says the more deserving and qualified person could have gone on to be a world class player. 1 Like |

tbaba1234: True bro. There is something Mikel brings to that team that our previous captains/team leaders had not brought in the last 10years. It appears as if those young players ride on the back of Mikel.They play better with Mikel in the team. Watch that Iwobi's goal against Zambia again and see the interplay between Iwobi, Mikel and Ighalo. 1 Like |

komekn:Let's not argue law but I know - from practice in applying decided cases both English and Nigerian- that it is an established common law principle of the law of evidence that illegally obtained evidence is admissible in court if it passes the other tests of admissibility because the court does not concern itself with how the evidence was obtained but whether it is RELEVANT. Read this: Also in Tortii v Ukpabi (1984) 1 SCNLR 214 at 236-237 and 239-240, respectively, Eso and Aniagolu JJSC stated respectively and said as follows:- “There is no general rule of law in civil as well as in criminal cases that evidence which is relevant is excluded merely by the way in which it has been obtained; and “Again, as was held in Kuruma v The Queen (1955) A.C. 197, the test to be applied, both in civil and criminal cases, in considering whether evidence is admissible is whether it is relevant to the matters in issue. If it is, it is admissible and the court is not concerned with how it was obtained.”. So while I am not trying to encourage corruption I'd say what is admissible in the court of football fans is not how the player was obtained but how RELEVANT the player is- relevant in posting good performances and adding quality and value to the team. Players come into the team through different means - some by their performance in their clubs, some by the recommendations of agents, some by political pressure. All of this would not matter if the player proves his mettle and I don't think ultimately any of this will save a player if he fails to perform. That's my point. 1 Like |
