NPFL to Tanzania? and these are the type of players they force on super Eagles coaches? Then we don’t have a league.
Simba is not a small club besides everyone mustn’t play in Europe.
Brazil have players in Bolivia and Mexican leagues too,it happens,the young man is happy with the move that’s what matters,it’s an improvement from where he was and hopefully something better comes.
Life is about movement,some are fast whereas some are slow,what matters is seeing yourself better than where you was,only then you are seen as making a progress.
A wisdom rarely seen these days in a single comment nice one. As for the above,this is why our football administrators must buckle up to ensure the proper growth of our game locally.
Dis one and his big grammar sef
Thanks @Codex
You are so right Greenturf. Nigeria’s Players should always be encouraged regardless of their choice of league.
Great talk greenturf, who knows if he would be getting paid more, more so simba should be playing in the CAF champions league, so isn’t that attractive enough
