Re: NIGERIA WORLD CUP CAMP THREAD
Where is Mikel? This dude is always late to camp. I know Vic just finished FA cup. So Vic has 10days off. But Mikel? Haba! Always one of the damnnn latecomers. Yesterday is visa issue. I don't understand why a lot of Nigerians feel like their lateness reflects on their importance... Mikel is not better than any player. He is just granted the privilege of being Captain.

Mikel get family in London to visit. It is not a big deal. I don't expect him to play against DR Congo. That game is for Simi Nwankwo and co.
Winners do it the right way.

Re: NIGERIA WORLD CUP CAMP THREAD
The players need to rest. World cup will start on June 14. It is not a big deal. He will be in camp in time for the game against England which is in London. So why not just stay in London and wait for the team to arrive on May 29. The guy is in China, while his family spend most of the time in England. Give him a break.deanotito wrote:It is a big deal.

Re: NIGERIA WORLD CUP CAMP THREAD
Rest? Unlike the Euro gang the Chinese league is in its early stages, so he shouldn’t be as fatigued. And everyone has a family so that can’t be an excuse. Ighalo from the same league is already in Uyo, touched down today. Anyways he learned from the likes of JJ and Kanu.ohenhen1 wrote:The players need to rest. World cup will start on June 14.

Re: NIGERIA WORLD CUP CAMP THREAD
No doubt! Okocha who couldn't find his way to the airport. Every player will like to spend more time with their families. Why is Mikel any different? Jeez! it is so annoying. Phony bigmanism. Like I said, he isn't better than the players. He is just privileged to be given the honor to be Captain of a great country like Nigeria. His comrades are sweating it out. He is chilling... God knows what he is doing wherever he is.maceo4 wrote:Rest? Unlike the Euro gang the Chinese league is in its early stages, so he shouldn’t be as fatigued.

When he was in camp for the Olympics and even spending money to help out the team, he was a big man?

Re: NIGERIA WORLD CUP CAMP THREAD
Preach! He’s left Europe, has an easier schedule and his league is in early stages. Would it kill him to be one of the first in camp...as captain? He will retire after the WC...he can spend more time with his family then.highbury wrote:No doubt! Okocha who couldn't find his way to the airport.

Typically I'd agree with you but if any player has earned the right to get reprieve, it's Mikel. Without him, this team is going nowhere, they need to figure out how to play without him. Heck, he should stay away a little longer even, let them figure out out who can take his place. Those friendlies showed exactly how vital he is.
He's professional and as far as I know he has not broken any of the current camp rules. So what's the problem?

Re: NIGERIA WORLD CUP CAMP THREAD
Hush what? Stop it! Consistency of character is what I expect from my Captain. Not good today, and bad tomorrow. Do you really know why he isn't in camp?

Re: NIGERIA WORLD CUP CAMP THREAD
The problem with Nigerians is selective justice. If every player disregarded rohr instructions and visited their families overseas while missing camp hours would people exonerate them of blame. Mikel is a legend and has sacrificed his time, dedication for super eagles but rules are rules and regulations should be adhered by every player or no player. No one is bigger than nigeria

Since you know the rules so much, please tell me. When is the due date to report to camp? Has Mikel been excused from camp or is he just breaking rules?

Re: NIGERIA WORLD CUP CAMP THREAD
Ighalo played a game in China on Saturday. Yet he is in camp. Mr Excuse or Mr Absent Captain is away.
Re: NIGERIA WORLD CUP CAMP THREAD
When is the due date to report to camp? Do you know why Mikel is away? Do you know what permissions he got from Rohr? If you can't answer these questions, it's best to keep quiet because you'd have no idea what you're talking about.highbury wrote:Ighalo played a game in China on Saturday. Yet he is in camp.

lol! So I can't ask questions? Trust me: I am not the only one asking questions. Maybe they should address the fans. At least keep us abreast.

As for Mikel, the coach is on top of team affairs. If he's OK with it, why all the biatching? Ideally he should be in camp and he's been a model citizen the past few years so absent evidence to the contrary, I doubt this is an issue of indiscipline on his part.
