This boys career has been on a steady downward ever since he left man City
He is a good midfielder.
Down fall how.. Someone who just recovered from a serious injury yet a great championship side is acquiring his services.
I see him making super eagles squad for afcon, if we can’t get ejarie why not Tom
The problem with many of these Nigerian players is bad agents. How can you score 20 goals in a season playing in a league such as serie A and a decent club do not come for you, yet you still retain the services of such agent??? I doubt if someone like Mino Raiola has been simy’s agent he will be playing for salernitana.
