Bolton manager Sam Allardyce today said he was in the dark about Jay-Jay Okocha's plans regarding his preparations for the African Nations Cup.

The Nigerian playmaker arrived for training this morning as usual. However, he is expected sometime today at Nigeria's warm-weather camp in Faro, Portugal.

Nigeria coach Christian Chukwu has threatened to report Bolton to FIFA if Okocha does not report on time. Clearly frustrated at the lack of information, Allardyce said: 'Jay-Jay will go when he is ready.' The tournament opens in Tunisia on January 24 and Okocha could be away for five weeks. Meanwhile, Allardyce has confirmed that Ricardo Gardner will miss the remainder of the season. The Jamaican defender is to visit Dr Richard Steadman in Colorado after suffering knee ligament damage in the defeat to Manchester United last week. Allardyce said: 'It is a long-term injury and we don't feel that Ricardo will be fit at any stage of this season.'

What exactly is LMAO-Omey's favourite shorthand?

BTW, what is Sam's problem? When JJ wanted to leave he grumbled. Now that he's still in Bolton, he's grunting.

Okocha is not leading by example for the Eagles .He indirectly told us his intentions when he stated that he knew all the players and will not have any problem blending . Hope he is not making the selection for us? because we have many new faces in the camp he does not know . H e was given the captainship OF bOLTON mainly for this purpose. Many people that are myopic will disagree with me . His coach knew that BACK man loves power , and once in power , will do anything just to hold on to it. Just my opion, I am not sure about Okocka's interest . He might not give his best just to run back to his lovely Crown. A lonely voice is crying in the wilderness saying go to war with few that are willing to fight.

I am glad this is YOUR OPINION. It should remain that way.

So based on questionable sources, if oga no arrive camp on Tuesday, he'll be off the final 22 list.... na real jokey joke be dat one.... i know say C3 love him country so i no dey worry... but my own problem be say: why make rules you can't enforce??? JJ, Yobo, Kanu, YAK, Baba, & who knows who else will stroll into camp next weekend... less than TWO weeks before our first game... as naija man, i guess there's nothing to sweat about... business as usual. 8)
