@UGO and CO am surprised that you guys are not pushing for this guy to be invited to the SE..
LMFAO…
@MONKEY POST though you are trying to be smart, it shows by your comment you don’t understand ball. Let me explain
We push for talents from the academies or NPFL who show proven talent when they go to Europe from a good age . look don’t get wrong late bloomers can also come of age but they must be consistent. the difference with Orban, Osimhen and Chukwueze even Iheanacho Awoniyi and so forth proved themselves from a young age with the exception of Awoniyi who came good after his education under Kloop and went his way to Germany and produced the goods from that education Liverpool and Kloop gave him as well as his loan spells. you see with Osimhen how he did it and Chukwueze don’t forget even though Osimhen had bags of talent Chukwueze hit good form before him and right earned his place in SE in the Late 2010’s. Osimhen I backed for AFCON 2019 because of the performances at Charleoi and i was proved right because even after undeservadly chopping bench at the hands of Rohr in 2019 AFCON he made a good move to Lille immediately after AFCON, Because yes Ighalo was on form but Rohr made a big mistake by not Utilising Osimhen more in that Tournament i.e. Dead Rubber game in the Group stages for eg. p.s. If he show’s consistency then yes like I always say Academy Products hit form quicker than NPFL players because they are fortunate to play in national youth team tournaments and get scouted by top coaches who attend. Hence NPFL and NFF should take CHAN seriously because CHAN tournaments is where Big European scouts will come and look for Local talents from Africa not mumu NFF league. at least not now while can’t even win a single continental club championship in 21 years
You see the point I am trying to make is a fan or self proclaimed football fan should understand the dynamics of Football before making such silly comments. did you here about us clamoring for Awoniyi when he was bouncing from club to club loan spells or did you hear us doing so when he hit good heights in Union Berlin?
I will leave you with that question and Rest my case.
When Orban (NPFL although did not kick a ball there) was in Norway did we clamour for him?… Before Boniface (NPFL) showed what he showed in Germany did we clamour for him. Even Ighalo (NPFL) we started Clamoring for him when he showed good form that last season at granada and then hit lime light in Watford you see bros Like I said not too long ago Players must be rewarded by NFF with National call ups on Merit not right they must get thier education first in the Best Leagues in the world Super Eagles is a national team and until NFF get the NPFL in order that league CANNOT i repeat CANNOT produce playerss straight out in to National team THEY can not compete.
P.s Adams with the eductaion he has got the last two years in Europe is a better ball player noe than any player in NPFL i can bet you, also even the lowest team in this same Norway will beat any NPFL team. I took the liberty to educate you a bit on modern Ball dynamics
