Yes oo. I guess i will be the first one. One never doubted his ability but rather the fact he was clubless. I guess he has shown that he is a professional to the core. I wish other Naija pros go learn from him. He knew where his bread is being buttered.

Robby not yet time. The bakery is still busy trying to meet the high demand for this specially ordered humble pie.

Lawal has done well. But who's to say Melkam, Oruma or Obodo wouldnt have done just as well? If not better? Thats the whole reason people bashed Lawal.

Robby, one of the issues of my being against his recall was his fitness but fine I admit he is fit; my second is the fact that there were players playing at the top of their games like Oruma that were not called up; like EW said, how are we to say that Oruma, Obodo and co wouldn't have done better? Besides wasn't the essence of his experimenting to discover young players?

I do admit that so far Garba has justified his inclusion but don't forget there were more than one player that generated the controversy - there's Ekong as well;

Make sure there's a low-fat option as well.

Hmmm, EW, not entirely true. The Lawal Bashers, headed by Yujam (who called him wastoid), and Chima, who changed his name to Garbage Lawal have been bashing him since 1998. Their antipathy towards him have NOTHING to do with Melkam, Oruma or Obodo...it has more to do with the fact that he isnt one of the WIZARDS.

Wetin concern abgero with overload? Wetin concern me with the inclusion of Ekong on the team? My discussion and argument was focused on Garba Lawal inclusion on the team and it started even before the start of training camp when the list of 41 came out abi you want make I pull evidence? Anyway whether una like am or not una go chop this humble pie.

Everybody knows Lawal was a crap player in the past. I did not bash him then but if he was, I would have had no objections. He has grown as a player. Confidence and exposure means a lot in football. He scored a couple of goals (one of those in the WC) and has not looked back since.

Most improved Naija player in my view.

iyerebee · Post by **iyerebee** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 2:01 pm

IMHO Garba lawal is one of our most improved players, take it or leave it

Don't care even if he scores the goal of the tourney, the point is he is clubless and should not be in the team. As now he will justify calling up clubless players in the future and no one should complain?
