Another Good move to me due to the need for options in the Left Back and Left Wing back role. Idowu knows he needs to be playing regularly to also get International reckoning. Good to know FC Khimki will also be playing in the Russian top flight. It will be great to have Idowu back. Natural Left back options Collins, Sanusi, Idowu, Chima Okoroji(Hopefully)
We need a natural left footed left full back. Idowu in my own opinion isn’t the ideal left full back we need. I think we should try players like sanusi zaidu (santa clara) and bassey(rangers). Sanusi looks more ready having played top flight league football in portugal for sometime now, while bassey has been playing in youth leagues. But mind you, bassey will be a great left or full back if he maintains his discipline bcos i see alot of talent in him.
Jamilu collins has lost form for the National team and he is error prone, so I think another person should be given a chance
