Re: Sadiq Umar to Glasgow Rangers on Loan
As pointed out, Mikel's big stage was the u20 wc. Even before then his qualities preceded him. He was already a talent people were talking about and wanted to see the hype.ukwala wrote:Mikel played in Norway.Dammy wrote:Opals again, River Plate and Santos are big clubs in South America and are the equivalent of the likes of Benfica, Lokomotiv Moscow etc.Ayo Akinfe wrote:Dey there dey yarn opaks.

It is difficult for players to move from clubs like Ado Den Haag to Barcelona or Amker Perm to Bayern Munich but it's possible from Benfica or Lokomotiv Moscow as these clubs play in the elite European club competitions.
The next world cup is 4 years away and there is enough time for our players to join the big clubs but for now they are making good transfers on the back of the world cup.
Our talent coming through is just not good enough. Did Mikel or Martins ever play for Porto?
Martin's started his career with the primavera team of Inter Milan, so it's logical that he started his career with them.
Mikel was the 2nd best player after Messi in the 2005 U20 WC, so he had a stage to attract the big clubs.
Norway did not make Mikel. He wasn't even there long.

Re: Sadiq Umar to Glasgow Rangers on Loan
They are often told what to say before the interviews...that is why all of them appear to say the same thing. The club do have media officers and one of the things they do with young players like this especially coming into a new club is to brief them what the interview would look like and how they are to answer. They are encouraged not to say too much be not to answer questions they are not comfortable with.olu wrote:He may be shy, however, I think his brief answers have more to do with his command of English than his personality.

Re: Sadiq Umar to Glasgow Rangers on Loan
Self defeatist logic. So the federal and state governments should stop awarding scholarships to students because every t, d & h wants one. There are criteria for doing anything that needs to be done in the National Interest. There are certain players with unquestionable potential who we know will become invaluable to us if they continue to develop positively. No stone should be left unturned to help them reach their potential. So, players like that, Onyekuru and Nwakali come to mind, who require assistance to play in the must competitive leagues ought to get itoloye wrote:My dear Cellular, to start with it we need to be careful when we make these comparisons while ignoring the real problem we have on the ground.

Re: Sadiq Umar to Glasgow Rangers on Loan
Didnt fully understand the questions asked but made the effort to give the generic answers expected. Lots of Nollywood, Ini Edo/Emeka Ike eye movements. Best of luck to the lad. As for Gerrard, all the early signs suggest he's going to struggle, were carved apart at will yesterday, how they emerged victorious is a mystery.

Re: Sadiq Umar to Glasgow Rangers on Loan
@SLK, Gerrard is amassing recruits at a phenomenal rate, with barely enough time to know his best 11. Expect nothing innovative at Ibrox, just much of the same, with a bit more animation from the touchline. Anything less than second and sustained challenge for first, will be seen as a failure. Gerrard has a huge task on his hands.

Dammy,
I am not sure that those "big" clubs have a list of clubs from which they recruit. However, I agree that they are likely to sign a player outright to their main squad when a player performs consistently at the ECL for example or WC. Recently, Bayern signed a 17-year old Ghanaian/Canadian from the MLS but I believe they will send him on loan but a kid like that they will sign even from Amker if they feel there is huge potential. See the story below:
http://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-trans ... ps-reports
BTW, one of the stunning data that I read recently is that Ghana is #5 and Senegal #9 in providing players (expatriate) to the top division of 31 European countries. This is research data from the CIES Observatory. Note that only Spain, France, The Netherlands, and Germany did better than Ghana. Note the following according to the researchers: ""This reveals the top-level quality of the training programs developed in these countries.." This does not even account for the talented African players who move to lower division just for economic reasons. Those are missing from the data. Meanwhile, our guys rubbish football as played in Africa. IMHO, it is time that some of the narratives about our football begin to change and match realities on the ground.

Sadiq is a humble young man. There's nothing wrong with his command of the English language.

Normally the 'rubbishing' comes from folks that never played street 'choosing' in Nigeria...............Just don't take them too serious.

British Home Office grants Sadiq Umar work permit enabling him to play for Glasgow Rangers - See more at: https://goo.gl/LRwF9h
I look forward to seeing Sadiq play. Let us see if he gets his Rangers career off to a bang with a goal in the Europa League on Thursday.

Umar apparently scored today in his first game action for Glasgow Rangers as they thrashed Wigan 3-0.

I think he was initially credited with the goal (from the reports that I saw) but now being recorded as an own goal. I have just viewed the match highlights and it was indeed an own goal. Both Sadiq and his marker went for the ball and the poor Wigan defender nodded into his own net.
