African people! Fake Nigerians! Sometimes I wonder the motive behind trying to run our own down. At 35yrs, Giroud is doing wonders and not even ready to retire. With an impressive number of 46 goals scored as of now, Giroud coming with experience, is a big bonus for the French national side. Play on Olivier.
I know Ighalo advocates will rush here to flex muscles and make baseless comparisons……Girold plays for AC Milan a top5 league club,a SeriaA title contender and favorite,……. Girold plays in the champions league group stage and has always be present there for many seasons now……..Gerold only left the premier league after 10+ years as a seasoned campaigner to join another European powerhouse…….Girold is world cup winner with France……Now what does Ighalo have as a leaverage?……Ighalo is Oga Rhor’s trusted soldier?……Ighalo has scored 10 goals in the Saudi Arabia league?….Ighalo has experience?…….Ighalo has Afcon bronze and highest goal scorer 2 years ago?……… Please stop insulting us the more by bringing this Ighalo issue up again……He has bought back his place let him enjoy it……But he should also be ready for the wrath of the people when things go south…….Rhor will go back to his country but Ighalo will be with his people in Nigeria and he will answer to the people.
Giroud is 35yrs and still playing, no retirement in the nearest future…While Odion is only 32…. That’s the issue.
@Apko.
Tamper your temper down patriot. Odion Ighalo has served his country meritiousley, that’s is more than I can say of our leaders who continously plunder our resources unaccountably.’word of advise’Watch your use of language for it might come back to bite you.
