thank you ikechukwu, world cup is real deal, we need more workaholic Midfielders and rugged defenders in Super Eagles but NFF should try pay this guys they outstanding Bonusea
Oga Ike Ugbo is a Center Forward not a Midfielder. You pipu should not start again now oo. Same way they changed Semi AJAYI from Center Back to DMF
He used English language to write his point and not Arabic. He did not say Ike is a midfielder he was only stating that we have capable strikers now, we should try and get more midfielder and quality defenders which he us 100% correct. Next time read in between the lines
Hehehehehe….another quality foreign born Nigerian footballer is about to take a rightly deserved place in the SE. Racist and Xenophobic home-based crap players advocates make una sorry ehn…..LMAO
