Is Iwobi now surplus to requirements? If yes, which team in the Epl will he fit into right now. Chai. Seeing him chilling at poolside.... Get as e be

Crystal palace/Fulham/Brighton and Holve Albion somewhere like that. He can have a decent career in a small team.
Some people can't handle the pressure playing for an ambitious side, maybe he's that kind of person.

There is this news thats circulating media that our U17 Golden eaglets stands the risk of being banned from FIFA competitions for two years if we don't get a team for the 2021 CAF WAFU cup Zone B qualifiers in October. Please is this true?

Reports suggest that Iwobi had a Knock in training .
I Hope this is true

which knock wey no even dey on official injury list.

I think he might have fallen out with the hierarchy at the club.

Arsenal is indeed crazy. And unlike Balogun, Brewster got his first team action in the Championship for Swansea. Bagged 10 goals for them in 20 appearances. What are Balogun's first team stats anywhere? Nothing b'cos he hasn't even made a first team showing anywhere.

That said, it is justifiable for Brewster to go for a lot higher than Folarin especially after the former's showing in the Championship.

Barryseal:


Arsenal is not crazy slapping that amount on him. When Brewster's valuation by Liverpool is 25M with no first team action, just like Balgoun.

Charles Anazodo on Sports Zone said he reached out to Toyin Ibitoye to find out what was happening and Toyin said Alex told him he had a knock

On a light note Semi Ajayi's teammate Kyle Edwards made a promotion song called Promotion Ting it's actually nice.

He said Semi and Bart (cb pair) got the back locked like this is corona Semi wasn't in the video sha

West Brom better hype this guy ehn

2 much 9iceness luvin this tune.

Meanwhile he did mad ting Las night he scored.

Starboytwo:
our prayer is for nwakali to reignite his career, he has come a long way to fail... He gets lots of stick only because we expected more.... Im truly sorry after i read about his predicament, truly he nor easy.... However he is on a good track now, he is playing in LA LIGA, not clubless, not injured,not turkey, not latvia etc we can only be hopeful, nobody gains if he no blow....

There are many Nigerian players on a good track but for some reason, all eyes are on a player who has done NOTHING so far.

We should talk about players who are doing something.

If he does something, l will talk about him.

But for now NUTTIN to report.

Maybe it will make the NFF learn some sense...
When the money the money they get from FIFA for winning the u-17 world cup stop entering,maybe they will learn...

Lol, you say somewhere like that.


I think he'd wana fight for his place. He can even play alongside James. But he needs to take it all to the next level with Project Ancelotti.....

The aim is to upset the top 6. Iwobi should be useful to that cause to me. Kets see sha

Staying and fighting may no longer be an option given the facts that Ancelloti might still sign a winger and Everton are willing to sell him off...
If he decides to stay,his game time will be very limited ...

We were outside the top 60 at the end of 2015, we were at 66 to be precise and 4 months after Rohr was appointed in 2016 we were sitting in 51, improvement started in 2016

Uganda, Ghana, Congo, Dr Congo, Guinea and Cape Verde were ranked above us at the end of 2015

Time flies
