Faroe island ?

But is this player that bad that he had to settle for Faroe island

Playing in the Egyptian ,South African ,Tunisia league is far better than Faroe island abeg

Andrew e weak me. SA is there

Elder you fall ma hand ooo, chaiii

he is talking about Nwakali Senior,

not the one in spain,

so ah dey wonder wonder when Rohr call up senior Chidi

Kog45:
Yes Rohr goofed on his invitation and one of those things in football management.

Odunayaw:

Na me week pass

Faroe island bawo

6-1 ke. How was Collins performance on a scale of 1 to 10?

When you get flogged 6-1 and the only goal your team scored was from a very questionable penalty.

There is nothing really to talk about in all honesty.

Joebie:
Osimhen once turned down Arsenal for Wolfsburg

The academy not the first team, at the time a very wise decision.

elunico:


making the decision under the influence of just the pecuniary benefits and not career progression would only make it possible for them to get little compared to what they're truly worth

To be honest it's a very difficult decision.

Strike while the iron is hot or keep working hard with the hope you will improve. And your value go up even further is the expectation.

At the moment he is very very HOT, he can easily sign a 5 years contract and be set up financially for life.

Or stay in Lille and hopefully improve. Next season he will be well known to everyone in French league one. It may be much more challenging.

Jonathan Bamba attacking midfielder or winger scored 13 goals last season, fast forward and he has scored only 1 league goal this season, nobody expected that or predicted that.

If Lille loose certain key players who are not replaced with the same quality then the team may not be so strong. That will affect Victor and he may not score so many.

The decision will or should be made on the team options before him to stay or leave. I don't know those options.

But a key thing irrespective of money he needs to know he will get games as a number 9.

Kog45:
Yes Rohr goofed on his invitation and one of those things in football management.

No Rohr didn’t goof but those who enforced the selection on to Rohr.

Kog45:
Hmm

I always remember your thought about youth players especially U17 that you will never based your assessment on youth glory of any player.

Kokmne also have the same thought on youth players that many of them fades before their prime.

Nwakilis brothers are still enjoying the glory of youth football

Youth football can cause you to live in delusion and have an over inflated view of yourself.

There are boys who were in the top EPL academies and as teenagers they were getting £20k a week.

Head scatter pride take over discipline lost and no hunger to improve, they are now playing non league today.

That's why youth football should only be indicative and not conclusive.

That's why l was very intolerant towards Isaac Success. I expect more from Nigeria origin players than these over pampered boys here who don't know what it means to SUFFER.

The best players dont always make it but the most determined and diligent.

The incentive "wages" you just ignored is very important ooo. Most people playing in the Nigerian league won't think twice about such an offer. Na pen to paper ooo.

Kog45:
Apart from players wages Nigeria league is far better,kai Faroe Islands.

What most understand is only raw talent is enough to make you shine in the youth system. In fact, ultimately that's what the coaches look out for. Most of the coaches don't even know what the phrase "technically good means". . For all their talents they need a lot of guidance at that point in their professional careers, cos what makes a good player transcends raw talent, and most of the time the decision to choose the best place for their training lies in the hands of their agents by proxy. That's quite unfortunate. Some of them get a good representation, others not so much. Given their backgrounds, they have very limited choices. The situation is quite complicated.

Egbon, you too have seen a lot in terms of youth football to easily want to come to this conclusion.

You have seen the various era of our quality Nigerian Youth players(U20s & U17s):
1983-1989
1993-1999
2000s
2013-2019.
You know how most of the graduates of the various teams have ended.

I have seen very obvious talents turn out average our go into oblivion. This particular statement I made a couple of years back, earlier when we first created this thread, turned me against many peeps here.

As highly talented as Manu's 2013 U17 were how many are in the Super Eagles today. Same for Amuneke's 2015 crop.

Youth football is what it is "Youth Football". A graduate of a Youth Team needs to work extremely hard, even with the immense talent, and also pray for Favor to be able to break into limelight as a senior team player.

Chidi Nwakali's case is just one of many. Some U17 graduates don't even end up playing Professional football.

Oga when did Cdiebere Nwakali played for the SE? Under which coach? And in what year?

komekn:


No Rohr didn’t goof but those who enforced the selection on to Rohr.

Reading has the most completed dribbles in the top 4 divisions of the top 5 leagues

Out of those 445, 105 were completed by Ejaria

Subzero047:

For real

Danielnino00:


Where did things go wrong??


Iheanacho, Awoniyi and to Success seem to be the only member of that 2013 squad that have managed to stay at the top level for a while now..

Musa Yahaya is rotting away in Porto B.. Musa Muhammad Now Nwakali to Faroe Island!

Na wa....

Musa Yahya my heart is still bleeding for this guy....

Musa Muhammad ++ since their days (2013) I know He won't last

Odunayaw:
For real

Imagine Ejaria, Aribo with Ndidi in midfield, that should be illegal

I'm sure out of Wolves 405 almost 200 were completed by Adama Traore

Tessyy1701:


Musa Yahya my heart is still bleeding for this guy....

You are not alone on this, this is the same way I feel about Said Ibrahim of the last Eaglets squad.

Okocha's take-on/dribbles record at the WC could come under threat from this lad when Qatar 2022 comes around. Hahahahahahaha...

Subzero047:

Hmmm... And I have reports he missed out on a move to Villarreal just recently. Time will tell shaa.

That guy is not talented, na gara-gara.

Jabaar is one player I tip to make it from that squad, besides Oluwabusola and Jinadu

I understand the Osimhen to Napoli transfer is still in the works. But nothing much is being said in details.

Time will tell.

Lol... Sa'id does lack some technicality I confess but let's see what becomes of him.

I don't know about Ibraheem Jabaar's next move for now. And yes he is a legit baller. Really technical.
But I do know that Peter Olawale is OGC Nice-bound. As you know already, Samson Tijani is RB Salzburg-bound (might begin with FC Liefering or Salzburg II). Amoo Akinkunmi is Hammarby bound.
And the most selfish talent "on-field" of the lot, Olakunle Olusegun seems to be bound for Reims.

I'd have loved this news if Ancelotti was still there, just can't bring myself to believe Gattuso is a coach. Sounds really awkward

Hahahahahaha... Italians do make some of the finest coaches in world football. I think it looks awkward because of memories of Gattuso as the Killer hardman midfielder he was in his playing days. Lol

Olawale showed glimpses but he is heavily left footed. Amoo's stature might be his biggest undoing, little wonder he was only seriously courted by a Scandinavian club in Hammarby. About Olusegun, I didnt see nothing worthy to write about. Tijani would be another Ramon Azeez

U forgot to add d most criticized player on d list...DSS boss son who got d most juiciest deal (Valencia fc)

Yeah, Olawale is really talented but needs to work on his right foot ASAP.

Amoo shaa... Let's hope he tears things up in Scandinavia like Ejuke did and like Alhassan Yusuf is doing. He could move up from there if he makes really fine impact in Sweden.

Olusegun Olakunle. For me, I think he is another Funsho Bamgboye of the 2015 class. Lol. But perhaps slightly a better baller than Funsho.

On Samson Tijani... Ahhh... Well. Make we see shaa. I think Tijani plays really mature football and has the skill sets to become a fine ball playing DM.
I think he could make it if he works hard enough and not lose his head. Time will tell.

some people make it look as if failure to progress from youth football to having a successful senior career is a phenomenon unique to Nigeria. it's rare to find many players from a country that won a tournament progress to have outstanding careers eg French and Mexican team that won the 2001 and 2005 u17 respectively.
why Europeans tend to progress is because they have had an excellent football plus world class club facilities help them improve and reach. most African youngsters have no such luxury so no matter talented they might be it would take serious re-education and hard work to Polish that diamond in the Rough

Lol... You mean Abba Bichi. Hahaha... Are we even sure that deal is for real? Still have my doubts on that although I saw the reports back in November last year.

Las las e be like Manu Garba boys dey always flatter to deceive, when I look at the 2013 squad and what became of them at the long run, I weep.


How much I loved and believed in a certain Musa Yahaya
