Where is the Alhasan Yusuf crowd shebbi una don see am that is how we will be imposing Mediocre players on Super Eagles!
This guy and Awaziem should say bye to the national team………Why will anyone go to the MLS in their 20s is beyond me. Once you go to the mls, it is rare that any European club will buy you back from that league.
@Footballfanatic bros,
I was saying it loud and clear i did not mince my words I know good players, Alahasan is nothing to write home about, he has 1 good game and 10 bad ones to follow, I am being honest and don’t mean to be harsh seriously but we must call a spade a spade.
If you check well check really well, Yusuf had 1 good game in Afcon 24 I think it was against Guinea Bissau if I am not mistaken then he proceeded to cost us games his foul was the reason Osimhen’s goal was cancelled and SA equalised, in the final, same thing. Against Benin when called upon to try help us the team even plays worse is like when I see him come off the bench I switch my tv off and stop watching because I know we will not do anything from there.
Guy trust me the boy is not good is just that in Nigeria if you have one good game in a important tournament you are set for life even if you must play until 100 and in walking stick like you know who.lol
@Arara Kumbi, lol those players I am sure you even feel, some how after you posted it.
@Ugo, Alhassan Yusuf is far better than Tom Dele-Bashiru and Rafael Onyedika. Yusuf is Super Eagles best midfielder.
Well, Alhassan is heading to MLS while Onyedika is on the radar of top clubs like Barcelona and other European clubs. Alhassan would have been better if he moved to a better club, but I can only say the MLS will slow down his game not a good move for a 24 year old.
@Arara Kumbi sorry @Akanlo Ede, lol those players you mentioned haba I am sure you even feel, some how after you posted it.
is not that you can not see the different in class with Onyedika I am sure you can for yourself. If Onyedika moves to Barca hopefully then it will be good for SE, some Players in SE midfield are actually making some Nice upgrades to their club career, I am sure you saw where Bashiru moved too..
It is not a matter of being sentimental we need to be serious in this country and stope the sentimentality England Dropped Grealish and Maguire sometimes if your form drops it drops and you can’t give a player a life time pass because of 1 good game.
The guy doesnt even know what he is saying ………Tom Dele Bashiru is the elder brother who plays for Watford…When was the last time he played for Nigeria? some people are just slow lol
My own problem with this is that he could have done better. Much better.
Instead of going to waste away in MLS, why not go to Tanzania, where he can join big clubs like Yanga FC? He can then be making yanga for us from there.
It is not too late. He should turn down the MLS offer and head straight to the Serengeti.
