I think, we should have a standing under 21 team that plays friendlies during international breaks. That way, we can see which of the youth players might be ready to step up and cap some of the youth dual citizen prospects.

Great man..NFF has money now to implement this programme...the benefits are massive..there was a time they tried something like that even bringing in FBs to join at u20 and u17 levels...they played one or two matches and closed shop...pity...we need it more than ever before...This includes having a youth league for NPFL teams...

komekn:


Without courting controversy.

Do you know how old Kalu ❓ is that you have the audacity to call these Everton players old.

Let's not open a can of worms, does he look like a 21 year old to you maybe, but not too me. You have brought the issue of age into the discourse. People in glass houses should not throw stones.

Of course he has all the official documents to prove his age, " Sworn declaration " will suffice in Nigeria.

in life. What matters is the standard and not opinions.
Ur opinion is that he is above 21 and in reality,fifa,caf, papers, tabloids, internet. Standard.. He is 21.

If u feel otherwise, u can take him to court.

krattoss:
bakayoko that his career has gone awol.
His boss gattusso recently told the media he can't even trap ball.
Was it last 3 days or so, he fired him shots that bakayoko needs to learn how to control the ball.
Bakayoko won't add any value to that ivory coast team.

Do you know that if Bakayoko was a Nigerian he would be a starter

Please remove the U17 from there, the U17 should be reserved for players based in Nigeria.

ChrisKels:


Lol krattoss the warrior. Ol'boy I was amazed by ur ability to withstand the barrage of attacks that have been landing on u since yesterday over Kalu hahahaha..


That's by the way sha, about Bakayoko, I already kno whose school of thought uv got. Nof said

Ivory Coast has the best midfield in Africa today, both in quality and quantity, yet they are still going for the so called finished Bakayoko, just for competition sake. If na my ppl here, dem go say the position is filled up hahahaha. To u, we shouldn't bring in lookman bkus we already have Kalu and SiMoses

Am less busy this period hence am ready for whatever comes my way.

Ivory coast is a star studded team no doubt, they ve always been a star studded team so them having sta studded players recently isn't a rocket science to me.
But I repeat and still maintain that bakayoko will just be like eue in q in that ivory coast team.

edi287:

Wait...so if Everton and Bordeaux are dragging for a prospect - you honestly think the prospect will mull things over?? AT 2018?? Look at the players Everton got and tell me the last time Bordeaux got that caliber of players
This is turning into a farce oo. Why use Barca and Man City?? It's more like Man City and Sevilla...that's what Everton is to Bordeaux...

So you expect a player to join Bordeaux and leave Everton,everton can offer you 100k pounds weekly and bordeaux will offer you at best 25k weekly,the Epl is rich remember,even Cardiff city will sign a player ahead of Bordeaux.

But sorry bro Epl teams are trash,is it not the same Everton that could not get more than 1 point in the Europa league last season ? They came last in their group,Lyon beat them home and away.

Epl teams are very rich doesn't meant they are better than others in terms of playing.

You think Barcelona will easily buy a player at Everton right ? But Barcelona and others big team will easily buy a player from Lyon and co,Barcelona got Malcom from Bordeaux,I am sure Barcelona will not reason to get a player from Everton .

komekn:


I remember when you all not sure if you were in that group. Gave high praise to Sadiq Umar, I looked at the way he played when he was supposedly tearing up the Belgium league. Where is he now Can't even make the bench at Rangers.

I gave the view that he would struggle in League one.

Kalu is not better than Ademola Lookman by a considerable margin. His end product is very suspect, it's not all about dribbling and running around like a headless chicken.

On the professional game you will be judged on end product. That's why Bolasie is on loan and you think Kalu is better than Bolasie ❓

I very much doubt it, I don't think any EPL team will consider him as first team prospect.

A guy called to replace VicMo? A guy that walked straight into our starting 11? you obviously know just a little about Kalu. And you dare compare him to a very average Sadiq Umar? Don't make me curse you, because I'm fasting for days now. Nonesenese.

Old aged Walcott hmmm dont agree, is he old Robben Arjen is older by 5 years is still playing and scoring for Bayern Munich. Nobody calls him old.

Yet you call Walcott old.

In reality you really do not know the age of the player you are comparing him too. He may be closer in age to Walcott than you think.

Finally he has not achieved anything in comparison to Walcot.

As far as I am concerned Walcott is not old and he is better than all Nigeria wingers .

edi287:

No they are not. As of 2018, Everton is far ahead of Bordeaux. They can buy their best player without blinking an eye.

You're talking about money. Okay. That's another argument entirely.

ChrisKels:
Tiemue Bakayoko to do a Wilfred Zaha on France as he is set to reverse his international allegiance to add to Ivory Coast's already packed midfield.

Supernerd where art thou

Imagine Bakayoko DM, Kessie CM and Seri AM, Cornet top 9 flanked by Zaha and "Pepe" the Neymar of Lille, Chai Nerdy bwoy wont like this breathing down on Onazi, Agu, Agbo, Etebo, Ogu hahahaha. Behind those gladiators are Aurier RB, Gbamin and Baily CBs and Ghislain LB

Lol Afcon go sweet biko

Ivorian man which his darling star studded team failed to qualify for the World Cup .

Bakayoko wey gattuso wan send am back to Chelsea January. Smh

Yes he would be a starter because he is better than onazi and etebo .

Ok..accepted..[Manu Garba should NEVER be removed as u71 coach].but remember...u17 level is way too different from u21...u21 requires more maturity...bravery and technique...thats why you cannot just shift most players of u17 to u21...players are this u21 level will have to be invited based on merit not based on u17 feats...Twice we have failed with that particular transition...

zoboizee:


Bordeaux this season have been so average. Persnoally,I will pick Lookman over Kalu. He tends to be too concerned with dribbling. He is good no doubt, but technically & with maturity of purpose on the field, Simon,Onyekuru, Success & even Emem Eduok will get my nod over him.

Onyekuru doesn't get the nod ahead of Kalu in maturity.

But Bakoyoko is doing poorly at AC Milan and they're thinking of cutting his loan spell short. It won't be much of a gain for CIV.

What is your proof and where is that Bakayoko playing now?

andrew444:


Yes he would be a starter because he is better than onazi and etebo .

Mr man, Our best midfield trio are Ndidi, Mikel and Iwob.

You people are talented in comedy sha.

Etebo is way better and more effective than bakayoko, even john ogu is way better
I dont know know why we dont get to appreciate our own.... who the hell is bakayoko, chelsea and ac milan flop kai, our players have suffered from our myopic fans

Till now no lineup yet? Nawa oh.

Our players have suffered. Chai. I just pictured it mentally; Current form Bakayoko against our midfielders. The comparison just off me.
