I loathe England for this…they have lot of talents in football but will stick hijack the one with dual nationality
Bros saka was such a player that Nigeria needed. but the blame should fall solely on Amaju Pinnick. He has terrible timing, tact and zero ability when it comes to gauging a players talent or an Important Player. as we know players have different levels something Nigerians clearly seem to forget often.
I think Pinnick should not have come out to boldly to say Nigeria will not chase any player as a result of Abrahams and EZE turning us down. if you look at it properly Amaju Pinnick is the reason that we lost all three Eze, Abraham and Saka.. With the 2 former, because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut until negotiations were done. a fault which he later uses Saka as scape goat for and says Nigeria will not chase Saka due to the recent embarrassments of Eze and Abraham, embarrassments he cause by opening his mouth too early and allowing England FA to catch wind. Laughable, then turns around and pisses Saka of by making such statement to the international media when in truth the fault was Pinnicks loosing all 3 players to England
Thats why Saka turned his back on us. when in truth our NFF boss was at fault
Bros, i think you guys should understand something and let it sink into us, whether the FA approaches these dudes early, talk too early in the media etc. I can bet you all of them already know in their heart of heart which country they wanna represent, take it from me
