Agali reports Schalke to FIFA, NFA
2004 AFRICAN NATIONS CUP COUNTDOWN:
Agali reports Schalke to FIFA, NFA
••• Says he must play for Nigeria
••• Eagles leave Faro Jan.22
By Ade Ojeikere
Returnee Super Eagles striker, Victor Agali has informed the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) and the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) of the decision by Schalke 04 of Germany’s management to release him for Nigeria’s African Nations Cup matches on January 18.
Agali, who recently renewed his contract with the German club, called the Eagles camp in Faro, Portugal, on Wednesday night begging the chief coach Christian Chukwu to ask the NFA chiefs to write FIFA for an enforcement of the relevant statutes as it concerns the release of players to participate in the country’s international competitions and not matches as the clubs are insisting.
Consequently, the NFA Secretary General Taiwo Ogunjobi contacted Agali’s German club’s management members, informing them of the country’s resolve to ask FIFA for the player’s presence in Tunisia, in line with the dictates of the rules governing the release of players to their fatherland for international competitions.
Already, Arsenal are on the verge of reneging on a gentleman’s arrangement of the Nwankwo him release as they have refused to allow Kanu to join up with the Eagles in the team’s Ria Park hotel in Faro.
The striker was due to meet up for international duty on January 11 but Arsene Wenger is unwilling to let him leave until after the game with Aston Villa seven days later.
The Gunners are likely to be without forwards Dennis Bergkamp and Sylvain Wiltord for around ten days due to injury and want Kanu to remain with them for as long as possible.
"We want him to play here for as long as we can," stated Wenger. "We need his presence and his quality. "It's easy to see that at this moment Kanu is fit and doesn't need a pre-tournament camp."
Meanwhile, Eagles players are expected to leave Faro on January 22 for Monastir, in Tunisia ahead of the African Nation Cup matches.

Of course he does and he will not do it. We have been down this road before. Na NFA go give am permission, if they do not he go release Kanu.Akamoke wrote:Question,
Does Arsene realize that he cannot feature Kanu in the game against Aston Villa if he backs out of the agreement with NFA?
Arsène Wenger at Arsenal, 1996 to 2018. I was there.

Rubbish. Agali is NOT in camp all this while and then asking the NFA and FIFA to intervene between him and his club? In other words, he is asking to be rewarded for indiscipline. That is intolerable behaviour and someone should tell him he cannot eat his cake and have it. Either he shows his face in camp or he stays away completely. Full stop. No ifs and buts about it.
And CIC Old boy, what makes Agali a hero? Staying in Festac and calling the shots? That would be justifiable if he was a goals-king. But he is not. He has only scored four goals this season. Nigeria needs to stop exalting mediocrity. Agali is a mediocre player who needs to justify his striker position before talking like a star.

I guess Agali, the 5th or 6th choice striker is not in camp while his main rival, AghaWonderGoal is already mixing it up with the rest of squad. Hmmm, someone is not enthusiastic about going to Tunisia.
2 of the finest indigenous coaches Nigeria ever had lost in a space of 4 days. Dear Lord, is this a sign that you are taking away from us what we failed to appreciate? I pray for forgiveness of our sins. I pray for the humility to recognize our wrongs and the humbleness and wisdom to right our ways.

Thank you, my broda. We cannot see the truth and then hide our heads in the sand because the truth is unpalatable.ugly boy wrote:MY man...U are on point as usualBombastic wrote:Rubbish.

And in response to those who say he has an automatic shirt, this is the problem again! For my money, that Ugochukwu Obiakor deserved a call-up over Agali. The boy was on fire on the continental stage. If we really cared about developing an excellent approach to winning, players like him will get callups before all the jokers who now behave like dictators.
