C'mon guys we need to set standards here. The dude has never in his life stepped foot on naija soil infact he's never even flown over naija. Are we that desperate that we have to beg people just cos they play in England?? Truth be told we have enough strikers on the book to last the next 2 wc so what do we need him for?? How will he comunicate with the players and what about his diet?? What next?? Will the team dinner be changed to fish and chips to accommodate him??

For once lets stop begging and actually do something about developing our own talent. The boy IS NOT NAIJA let England have him cos he is theirs and they developed him. You cannot reap where you didnt sow.

Kongi, I agree that this boy is not Nigerian - his parents are. But as for the language of communication, of course he;'ll use English!

I personally hope he plays for England because I think he is much more talented than either Aaron Lennon or Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Wether he plays for England or Nigeria, I think Agbonlahor will go on to be as good a winger as any in the world.

He's a very good winger.

I totally agree with yall but Abgonlahor is no ordinary player that plays in england he's got a bright future no matter what path he decides to take, his gameplay is excellent he's fast and ambitious, he anticipates every ball and he's got some good skills on the wing, he's striking is also metticulous

and he's not even a natural winger nor playing his best position.

Going for established players yields a high failure rate. Get them as juniors when no one's giving them all the attention.

The Turks for the period of their success leading to Wc'02 did that to their German based players - they got to them early hence had their minds made up.
Naijas are operating like the Poles who see established players elsewhere before going Oh the ancestery of player x might be good for us.

The NFA ought to have a desk in most of our embassies worldwide with people scouting for Naija blooded kids - support them early and it might be a good look later for the SE.

The groundwork is a must - given that we've got Naijas all over. Fact's a corrupt institution cannot be forward looking.

You guys should all sharrap

Just becuase he hasn't set foot in Naija we should disown him?

Do you know of his family circumstances or background?

If he wants to play for his fatherland we should welcome him with open arms..

Welcome home my boy.....

What if he was a white or latino nigerian? Any person, regardless of race, religion or creed that meets the requirement of and is a nigerian citizen should be able to play for his country. No exceptions. What has happened to Agbonlahor is an honour (we're not begging him), but it's up to him to chose who he wants to play for. As a nigerian, he may choose to or not play for Nigeria, that is his right as a free citizen.

Don't worry Agbonlahor don't even want to play for that disorganized team anyway.

Because Nigeria like to reap where they did not sow; likes ready made anything, and abuse them on the long run. There is nothing like cultivation in Nigeria's dictionary. That is why they are crying of hunger in a land so fertile if you stand too long in a spot, you start sprouting roots. That's Naija, Gidi for you.
Nnunu what do you say?

Remember people, this kid heard rumours via the internet & elsewhere that he'll be invited to the SE camp - he never actually got approached.

An NFA with good people running it would've had the SE coach speak to him way before speculation got in the mix.
