HYPOCRICY AT WORK

Am I the only one that must have observed for years that AW is a hypocrite?

. Why? Because he doesnt seem to see Kanu as part of his squad till when Naija calls him up for any match for SE. Thats when he will make NFA reliance how important Kanu is to Arsenal and thereby refusing to allow him leave on time. But immediately after the competition or when there isnt any matches he will continue to fix him permanently to the bench. It happened at the just concluded ANC2004. This is hypocricy at the highest level to say the least. Is Kanu's problem his inability to speak french? Kanu pls leave arsenal and join any other club that will allow u to play against arsenal so that they will see what they've been missing.

naija4ever,

As much as i agree with what you said it's a case of two people seeking their own interest on behalf of the NFA when the ANC comes around. First Kanu doesn't like training and doesn't want to go to where the team is camped during the ANC preparations. His done it three times and has gotten away with it. Afterall what is NFA going to do to him....

ANC 2000, when SE was camped in Malaga Spain. Arsenal released him way ahead of time to join his teammates in Spain and all of a sudden Kanu was no where to be found. If you remember very well he was on his way to the airport when he realised he didn't have his passport which again caused a lot of delay. By the time Kanu finally showed up in Malaga the team was preparing to head back to Lagos and prepare for our opener against Tunisia.

ANC 2002, When Kanu should have joined the team long time ago since we didn't have any training camp and only played one friendly game. He decided to wait it out, play as many games as possible before joining the SE after they arrived in Mali. Kanu joined the team from London and didn't practice with the team at all until their first game.

ANC 2004, As usual Wenger knew already Kanu would hang around since his done it before and i believe with all the nonsense that was going about his release he wanted Arsenal to hold on to him as much as possible and he decided to play all the games before he finally joined the team in Tunisia. Even Kanu didn't want to practice with the squad in Faro which to him is above him and trust everyone from NFA, caretaker CCC, Wenger and all knew this. It's a game they've both been playing for quite a while.

If i am going to blame anyone it's Kanu who allowed this to happen to him with his insistance of staying with Arsenal when he knows deep down things like this will happen when the time comes..

I just hope he gets a game before the season is over where he can at least a get a championship medal and move on to a new team...

You are both correct, but the blame should be on Kanu who seem not to be putting more effort to regain his form so that he can at least move to another good club where they would value him and play him regularly.

M15 I also agree with u to some extent 8) .So, are u going to blame Martins as well for failing to show up at all the time he was invited insisting inter didnt want him to go at the last invitation for olympics? . Dont u think that Martins reason being he didnt want to miss being in the first team could've been Kanu's as well? . Remember we dont know whats going on in arsenal's camp.it could be Kanu's fault, could be more likely AW's threat that he could loose his place in Arsenal if he dared went.

Martin's case is totally different. Don't forget he is yet to play for Nigeria while Kanu has been playing for Naija for over 12yrs now. Big difference..

I go come back and continue this discussion..

Not to worry, AW has already kicked Kanu out of Highbury.
