Hmmm….
I don’t know if this is growing up or down.. I can only say hmmmmmm
Very good move for him than English championship league. Etebo don’t belong to championship group. La liga and lique 1,fits his style of play. Even Premier league. Galatasaray is a good step forward for him.
Good one,trust me on this.instead of stoke.
He got it all wrong when he hurriedly went to Championship Club Stoke City prior 2018 World Cup where he eventually became one of our Most Outstanding player in the Tournament. Assuming he kept his cool, Bigger clubs would have come gunning for his signature after the World Cup but I don’t know who his advisers are. For me, Etebo is now deteriorating. This is not the Etebo we saw at Rio 2016. Club Firense – Stoke City – Turkish Club Gala. Not impressive for me.
That was one move that shocked the whole world. Himself and Balogun got it wrong with their hurried signings before the world cup. On a good day, the world cup is the platform where you show your best in other to get the best. There’s no way anyone would convince me that a player would not play a tad better in a tournament when he is searching for a new club, than when he has just signed for a new club.
Etebo is a good player and he is very strong on the ball with incredible speed. But the guy belongs to the attack, wings and attacking mildfield, the guy has struggled to get use to DM or CM position that they converted him to, thats why it hasnt been going smooth with his carea. If you put etebo behind a striker he is very dangerouse and can score alot of goals expecialy from the left wing, we saw him in rio, how prolific and creative he was. Playing from deep will only limits his ability same case of aribo these type should be among first four front men and they can do magic. Giving them the burden of a DM or CM will not bring out their full potential. Even etebo said it him self that he does improvised his artitude to play as a DM. Please mr Etebo tell galatasary to play you either as an AM or from wings you cant continue to waste ur incredible speed and that powerfull God giving shot have gotten from your days in wolves of warri. At senegal and rio you reminded me of ex man united tevex. Cuting in and releasing powerful shots. Go back to ur natural and stop wasting ur talent for these selfish coaches.
Good move. Etebo does not belong to a championship club.
Better than stoke city shit.Gala is a good club and one of the strongest club in Turkish league. There is hope of qualifying for European competitions in such a club.If he makes the first team all the time and play in his right position, better for the club and super eagles.
