GT has Returned - Let us support the NPFL

After a long sojourn to parts unknown I have returned. In late 2019 I had the pleasure of meeting once again Baba Fad, CMoke, and CMS. The venue was typical, a local Nigerian Buka in Los Angeles. Baba Fad was preparing for Anthony Bourdainian Trip into the heart of Tijuana and CMoke and CMS reassure...

Re: Abbey George warns NFF against begging players ...

George Abbey did very well for Nigeria. Unfortunately, he could not translate his performances towards a transfer to a better club (he remained at lower tier Macclesfield for a long time). His best bet would have been to transfer to another club (Germany, Scandinavia, or Spanish Segunda). That said,...

Re: Billig Not Interested in Playing for Nigeria

The pursuit of Billig and other disinterested part-Nigerians is a fool's errand that only serves to boost their profile for a future transfer windfall. We must not pursue such players. We must only extend a hand to players that are interested. Here are two players I prefer: 1. Ayo Simon Okosun - Ayo...

Re: Billig Not Interested in Playing for Nigeria

This is a player we need not pursue. While he is very good, there are other prospects who are very eager to represent Nigeria. We can wish him well and put this to rest. << GT, long time, where have you been? Good to read from you again. I did civilian hand-over and retired to a farm, but the lure ...

Re: We should keep an eye on Simon Okosun

Simon is a very good player, and his move to FC Midtjylland is rather significant as FC Midtjylland is a big club in Denmark. The point of my post is simple - We should keep an eye on him. Besides Simon, we should also keep an eye on the Brazilian/Nigerian who was at Vendsyssel - Dominic Vinícius E...

First of all I am glad Sane was not part of this team. This was a Volkswagen Diesel that had been recalled.

Simon Okosun transferred from Horsens to FC Midtjylland. He is a good player in the Danish Super League.

My thoughts on the Nigeria vs. Argentina match

My thoughts on the Nigeria vs. Argentina match: Nigeria prepared for over a month and took a 23 man team to Russia. I will say that the pre-tournament preparation was very good. Our execution on the field once we landed in Russia was not. What was clear is that some teams were more prepared, had a b...

Victor Moses - Predictable, Poor crosses, Went down easily

Victor Moses was predictable, took poor crosses into a heavily populated box and went down far too easily. What surprised me is that Nigeria was not inventive in trying to break the Croatian formation. Croatian always have 4 men or more behind the ball or in the box. The only way to break this was t...
