Simy with a brace for Crotone ..

Joebie:
Such is life.
Iorfa is not crying about but still in his professional career.

Things can change. Minds can change. We are not talking about robots here

jihday:
because na long thing, get player's approval get English fa consent then FIFA will approve. It takes months

Utonwanne:


So how will not playing for any national team enhance his value? Because as it is now, England never made any move

This are the words of Joe Aribo while still at Charlton and guess what?. His contract was coming to an end and he probably doesn't know what the future holds but he still wanted international football more than anything else.

Arsenal-Linked Midfielder Aribo : I Am Definitely Open To Playing For Nigeria

Charlton Athletic young star, Joe Aribo has not excluded the possibility of representing the Super Eagles in the near future but has maintained that he has not been approached by the Nigeria Football Federation.

Born in Camberwell, London, Aribo has no representative caps for England teams and doesn't have to apply for a one-time change of association before playing for the Super Eagles.

The 22-year-old is widely regarded as the best modern day midfielder of Nigerian descent in the whole of England as he possesses defensive and offensive qualities and can play all the positions in midfield.

Aribo was contacted on Thursday afternoon to provide an update on his international future and everything is pointing to the fact that he has chosen Nigeria over England.

The Addicks number 17 told allnigeriasoccer.com : ''I am definitely open to playing for Nigeria, I'd be happy to play.

''There has been no contact with the Nigeria Football Federation. I'll honour the invitation if I get a call-up.''

Aribo comes off contract with Charlton Athletic at the end of next month and is on the radar of Premier League duo Arsenal and Manchester City.

Aribo for me, is an example of a serious player who knows what he wants, not all these other ones playing "hide and Seek" upandan.

This is the hypocrisy with the NFF, why wait for a player to blow.

Dominic Iorfa had already blown when he committed to the SE. A player that was wanted by several EPL clubs but loyalty to former manager Kenneth and Wolves made him reject those offers.

After the politics of football seen him frozen out of Wolves. He failed to sign with Mendes as some have spuriously speculated.

Well where is he close to the top of the Championship, where all the 5 teams at the top section are divided by just three points.

But the question is not which league you are playing in but what are you doing there. Are you outstanding for club and league and consistent with too perfomances❓

What's the general opinion. See below

komekn:


You answer the question with your own question.

Playing for the SE I'd you are of Nigerian origin and already making headway in your career will not add any value to your career.

If you are in obscurity it may give you much needed publicity and recognition.

chukwunedum150:
Osimhen is injured

Barryseal:

This is a false narrative. Being African didn't stop Arsenal paying $65M for Aubameyang ,£72M for Pepe. Keita went to Liverpool for £45M and Koulibaly will be the most expensive defender if he transferred today. Chukwueze's buyout clause is close to 100M.
No club will undervalue their prized asset because he's African.
We are no longer in 1995.

Humility017:


Komekn subject those words you wrote and put it up with Yaya toure achievements being an ivory coast international....

you think international football does not count ?
c'mon.... stop saying this...do you how rangers fans so much celebrated Aribo call up to the Nigeria team and how Gerald used the call up to berate former Charlton manager....?

even ranger fans counted it to be a major strike as they now have 2 internationals in their team......

international football counts in a player rating... they can enjoy some privileges being English but still they get more respect as internationals in the long run

lol... be like some of us here already 'wrote them off' since that 'bichi' saga.

andrew444:


Mane and Koulibally get BIG hand for this value

MetalJigsaw:
Could it be over for Osimhen as Lille's first choice?

Not only d bichi dude. Garba kept the Akande guy on the bench throughout the qualifiers. Even the 3rd place game, he couldn't give him even 3mins runout. I was like why bringing this boy from UK to keep him on the bench. He was not capped and now the boy is still as free as air. The much talked about ebiwoie came for the try out. He made the team to Brazil. The same Garba did not feature him in any friendly and kaboom he was dropped. From nowhere Bichi name surfaced. Naija matter tire person I swear.

ChrisKels:


U were the same Clement that made this post on completesports under the heading "Nigeria never pushed to have me - Tomori"?

Icon4s:


Yes, let watch them play the first game and then the discussions on them will begin.

jihday:
lol, are you serious or just bants?

somehow:
Wrote them off because no foreign born to hype or how can one player make them throw away a whole team?

ChrisKels:


The image u shared clearly stated it was after two matches, yet u talking about consistent outstanding performances? So ur deduction is based on these two matches?

So in ur own book, two matches is enough to call a player a consistent outstanding player huh?

Are you guys aware that victor is injured? after a superb performance

komekn:


Na wah for you

Do you want me to post comments on every match he has played since he joined Sheffield Wednesday.

Considering what his manager, team mates and fans are saying about him. Consistent continous outstanding top level performances.
