Kayode did not pull out of the club. Girona terminated the deal.

According to a report on Spanish daily, L’Esportiu, the former Austria Wein striker has his head turned on after receiving offers from several teams during the January transfer window and he is also concerned about his chances of making Nigeria’s Russia 2018 World Cup Squad.

But Girona are not willing to allow the striker leave until the end of the season despite, the Nigerian failing to score a goal in 12 LaLiga Santander games because they believe he is still capable of regaining his scoring form for Pablo Machin’s team.

Another Ela!

Former England youth international Jordon Ibe has turned down a fresh approach by Nigeria to represent them at the World Cup 2018 in Russia.

Ibe has been in fine form for English Premier League side Bournemouth, and according to the online version of English based news outfit Sun, he has turned down an approach to team up with Nigeria for the World Cup in Russia.

Eligible to represent Nigeria through his father, Ibe who has six assists in all competitions this season grabbed the headlines on Sunday, when he netted the winner for Bournemouth in their shock comeback 2-1 win over Arsenal.

22 year old Ibe believes he stand a chance of playing for England, as present coach of the senior national team of England Gareth Southgate picked him regularly during his stints as U21 coach of England.

According to the Sun, the former England youth international will prefer to wait for his time with England than jump at the chance of representing Nigeria at the World Cup.

This is the second time in 18 months , that Ibe has turned down the chance to represent Nigeria at senior level, as he did same when he was first approached by former coach Sunday Oliseh while at Liverpool.

kidding right?

but I lie? Tell me you knew how to spell Fleetwood two days ago

realpoacher:
What we the supporters of Iheanacho see while sitting down his haters won't see even when they climb an iroko tree.. Lol

I mean check out this guy's stats and compare with any other Nigerian plying their trade in football world over currently, his game time to goal ratio out beats everyone else yet haters will be on his case day in day out.

Nigeria u-17 kelechi was scoring, in Man City Youth reserve team, dude was scoring, IN Man city senior team under Mancini kelechi was scoring, even under Pep's Man city where he had less playing time - he was still scoring, In Leicester under this demon of a coach called Puel, Iheanacho is still scoring.

Even in Super Eagles Iheanacho is firing on all cylinders yet people won't let him rest. Calling for him to be dropped from the world Cup squad.

My question is: if you drop him from the squad who do you replace him with?... Is it this lad at bournemout who has scored just one goal since January 2017 that the NFF is disgracing themselves begging with cap in hand to come play for us?...

Or is he to be replaced with one of these other overgrown, overfeeding and over pampered "init" boys?

Or to be replaced by Kayode that have been firing blanks even when he has seen more playing time?

The truth here is that form is temporary while class is permanent. For many football players in the world, the more time you seat on the bench, the more your confidence drops, the more your performance drop... But as for kelechi Iheanacho, even with more time spent on the bench, he delivers most times when called upon.

To me that is class, to most of us his supporters that is raw undiluted talent. You are only blind if you decide not to see it.

TheGoodJoe:


Precisely. Nacho should forget about the situation and keep giving his all on the training pitch. A time will come when he will become too good to ignore.

OMANBALA1:


Well, before we conclude he is improving lets see at least 5 more matches ...
Seriously , I want to see more of his first touch in a difficult position and see how he handles them...If he can do that then he has arrived.

somehow:
Signing a deal with NTA is the worst decision ever taken by LMC, makes no sense. It would have even made more sense signing deals directly with one private station per state to air their home matches live in each state. This should be possible or don't you think so?

Mickael2:



so Fleetwood don become powerhouse? Thank God for people like Icon4s, ask him what he has to say and learn from that

tbaba1234:


Oga, come off it.. Did Arsenal not just lose to lower league opposition?

Mickael2:



bristol is in the championship, Fleetwood is a non-division side. Lemme make it clear, we have Epl(Leicester), Championship, League 1, league 2, national league, conference and sunday league(this is where Fleetwood probably reside ). So that is like 7places down, just like Iheanacho scoring against a secondary school NNPC/Shell cup team

Mickael2:



apologies, Fleetwood actually are ranked 11th in League1, does that make it sound better?

Liamm:
no more bristol city again sir

Kayode forced his way out of Girona by refusing to return to the club.

That is according to a report. The article I commented on stated,

Girona according to several reports terminated his loan deal, leaving City with no option but to search for another loan destination for the forward

When we said Iheanacho should stay and fight for the Shirt at Leicester City, Some Dudes nearly got us lynched, coz they believe Bristol City has the best Manager in the World, in fact - Puel is a worse Manager comparing to the Bristol City Manager.

Also when we opined that Iheanacho is better off as a SS, that he would conveniently and confidently thrive in the Position, some Dudes believe he has been drilled to play as a lone Striker, hence he should continue his development as a lone Striker.

Iheanacho had a good Game because he's ready to fight, he ain't wanna run to a lower League. He knows the Match is like a Trial to him; had he played badly, he would have been on the Plane to Bristol City this Morning.

I'm really happy for him, but we need to be patient and see if he's gonna replicate the form and be consistent with it. Form ain't permanent, but class is. However, the combo of both makes you a world class Player.

Iheanacho ain't a world class Player, not even close to, at the moment. He has the potential to be, but truth has to be said; he's not and far to it for now.

Finally, to those mocking Kayode because Iheanacho had a good Game last Night, I guess you Folks have never pointed Fingers at Forgiveness as a Tribal Bigot.

Shalom.

BascoVanVeli:
This Kayode v Iheanacho talk is ridiculous. They are both Nigerian and each deserve our support. I liked what i have seen from Kayode at Girona, the guy never stops running and he is a very wise player. I hope he kicks on.
