Re: Why the Hiring of Eguavoen as Interim Makes LOGICAL SENSE.....

The technical director should be in charge of developing a coherent philosophy for football development in the country at all levels. The football philosophy should consider current trends in modern football (advanced statistics for game tactics, scouting and opponent monitoring) but would also aim ...

Re: Akinsamiro makes Serie A debut for Inter

He needs a good nutritionist. Need to get stronger. Looks like a good prospect. Certainly needs to be called up to the friendly. Also the U20s. We need to help him in his development. What makes you think he’s not strong enough? In the clip, he is deliberately shielding the ball to draw fouls while...

Re: Akinsamiro makes Serie A debut for Inter

Iworo said: Based on what I observed during the few minutes he played, he didn't display exceptional performance and seemed to move even slower compared to Mikel :D. However, I'm inclined to reserve final judgment until I've seen more of his gameplay. My money is on Eletu…. While everyone else says...

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?

I've not been able to bring myself to watch the game, I'm afraid, but can anyone explain why Iwobi was singled out for abuse when the whole team lost? I didn't see any reports of an own-goal, conceded penalty, or a red card. I believe a lot was expected from him but he didn’t quite deliver. I’m sur...

Re: SE and Foreign Born Players

This is a very complicated topic.

From what I can see. There are a multitude of factors at play yet. T...

Re: NWABALI being mentioned in high corridors…

I am still not convinced on Nwabili. He’s seems decent but not the Messiah we are making him out to be. Jury is still out until we face a team with serious firepower upfront…England, Brazil, Argentina, Belgium etc Agree, but so could be said of those you might have in mind as our preferred keepers ...

Re: Nwabili TAKE A F$%^ing BOW!!!

Color me skeptical. I am NOT SOLD. He doesn't fill me with confidence. He is always screaming and yelling like he is a bag of nerves and seems he may have slower than normal reflexes because of how big he is. He also looks like he has small hands. We are a very defensive team so he is protected. He...

Not the best move but getting out of Bulgaria is a huge positive. Even better, I also expect Zulte to be in the Belgian first division next season.

Tochukwu Nnadi (ex U20) to Zulte Waregem
