Yeye Paveman. I spoke to the player in Yoruba. Garba Lawal does not speak Yoruba as far as I am aware.

Besides, Garba would have struggled to know all the old memories we caught up on, talking about Zik Hall players like Demiji Lawal, Mutiu Adepoju, Matthew Enyeama, Toranighora Ojokojo, Emmanuel Akpan, Folorunsho Okenla and Felix Taiwo.

Believe you me, Kokoro will show the world what he is about. If only Martins and Shorunmu show up, my 3-5-2 jigsaw puzzle is complete.

From this post, one can really tell that Ayo Akinfe is an OLD MAN. I go always deh respect some of your vital selected judgement my big brother....

I thought Lawal was injured. The guy has not featured for Albacete in ages.
Yujam, he is well again and having fully recovered has been allowed to join the camp. I know he is in Faro because I spoke to him earlier on this evening!

Ayo, are you sure Aghahowa is in Faro?
When did you speak to him?
From my reports he was seen in nigeria on saturday night

Ikwerreman;

Ayo never said JAG is in Faro. He said he is expected within the next weeks.

Even if the NFA does not ban the use of cell phones in camp, these guys should have the good sense to refrain from talking to journalists about camp news.

While I like getting the updates (the ones that make sense), this whole excercise will surely end up more harmful than helpful.

Nanijoe, these players dont talk to everybody. Some of them are personal friends of ours and know that whatever they say will be in strict confidence. If there is anything I need to ask that will be in the public domain, I make sure I inform them that so and so info is going to go in so and so place. Only if they say yes, will you fiond the info here.

As a matter of fact, one player did jokingly point out that "I hope say you no go release all our plans to our opponents o."

But the ones who know me have absolute confidence in me. And they tell me everything.

BTW, I was with Udeze and JAG on Sunday night in Lagos and I stressed the importance of reporting to camp ASAP to Ify.

Those thinking of bashing him, let me just warn you now, you will have me to contend with if you try it. He was still a primary school boy when he used to come and see his brother in Zik Hall in UI in those days and I am impressed with the way he has developed and matured into a professional.

If una touch am, na fire!

Ayo:

While I share your sentiment on Muyiwa's ability, I also need to warn you that Muyiwa could also be a liability. He sometimes have the tendency of playing to gallery, especially when he is being "hailed." However, all other things being equal, Muyiwa is a talented player with a lion's heart. Just pray that his head no dey swell like garri ijebu when the task needs to be done !!!!

AYO:
Both Muyiwa Lawal and Gabriel Melkam were in the original list of 41 players. And there was certainly NO widespread "clamour" for Ogbeche (either on the forum or in the Nigerian press).

For record purposes, here is the original list:

Muyiwa has always been a true pro when he needs to be. Remember the tape of his trial at Marseille in 1995/1996. The same Muyiwa who was calm and gentle with his touches in France returned back to Zik Hall and wanted to "dribble the hell out of Awo boyz and Tedderites"

In Eagles' camp, all of them always want to "outshine themselves" ! For instance, Obodo, who could hardly hold ball for more than 1 minutes in his club ,came to the national team and started masturbating the ball. Look at Okocha at Bolton, he does not have that time to "dress" and "kiss" the ball...but in the Eagles's uniform he always want to keep the ball till kingdom comes.
