The coaches of the super super eagles should stop inviting this guy,he is an injury prone player,we don’t need players who will play only 14 minutes and get ruled out of other games,we must shift focus to Kingsley Michael who play even better than him,good use of the ball, mobility , technical and quicker than him.bonke lacks in confidence and makes only back and side ways passes,not quick and looks heavy,the coaches should do the needful
from frying pan to fire. Michael Kingsley though a very good player is also injury prone. To be fair, that position is the battle axe of the team .
Maybe, they should try Onyeka there.
This guy is so injury prone, its not even funny. He only has 4 caps for the national team! And for his club lorient with 38 games, he only appeared in 12! Injury prone players was one of the reason why Nigeria lost to Ghana. At least 5 players in the first game didn’t play in the second because of injuries. Its hard to know if he is a good or bad player when he barely plays to actually get a read on him. He needs to do something different in training or change his diet.
Bonke, get well soon brother.
Perhaps international football is not for you. If small breeze blow, na injury. Na so so injury up and down.
Enjoy your football and make your money at Lorient.
Abeg take am easy ooo.
Yes…I’m really getting tired of bonke. He is so injury prone. I really can’t make a good assessment of him. Other than to say that he’s not fit to replace ndidi at this time. Maybe in the future but not now
Am not sure this bonke of a guy will favor Nigeria.
Just for now let him stop coming near se. Some of these guys are actually paying for huge age reduction and healing by nature will take longer time than when you are truly young.
Are they truly truly under 30 as many of them are claiming?
