Welcome back balogon.. My best Central defender in the super eagles.. Fortunately his absence has shown the importance of omerue and ajayi.. Esp ajayi I never knew he still has the calmness of ajayi I use to know.. More deadly players in March will make our world cup qualification a sweet one
If only they sustain their formed till that time cus inconsistency has always been the problem of super eagles players.
Good to see you back in action.
