Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
with Azeez (Laliga), Aribo (Rangers), and Agu (Europa) bringing hot competition, he knew he couldnt stay in Stoke any longer. I expected this type of move this window.
Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
Hindsight is 20/20 as they say. One can only wonder how much more refined Etebo's game would be if he had the opportunity to play under more established coaches. The likes of Ndidi, Mikel, and Ekong improved quite a bit after moving to bigger clubs.

Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
You think his move was SE related? I doubt it, he would still start for SE as long as he's better than those guys regardless where he plays. But his team is in relegation and need to get rid of high earners, so I understand the move with an option for Getafe to buy.chief nfachairman wrote:with Azeez (Laliga), Aribo (Rangers), and Agu (Europa) bringing hot competition, he knew he couldnt stay in Stoke any longer.

It’s a career defining move but it’ll improve his chances of being a regular for Nigeria!maceo4 wrote:You think his move was SE related?

I agree but nfachair is off base making it about SE it’s stoke that’s trying to reduce their wage bill:Eaglezbeak wrote:It’s a career defining move but it’ll improve his chances of being a regular for Nigeria!maceo4 wrote:You think his move was SE related?

However, Etebo started just eight league games this campaign and Stoke - struggling in England’s second tier - needed to reduce their wage bill.

Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
Interesting press conference.
He said he was supposed to move to watford after Las Palmas got relegated but then stoke approached him with what looked like a good project and they wanted him badly, so he chose stoke city.

Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
Etebo is a good player. I really hope he breaks into the starting 11 at Getafe. This is the kind of move many felt he should have made 2 or 3 years ago
Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
Exciting.
We haven’t seen the best of this kid. And I’m not sure he’s even found his best position yet.
His engine, his drive and his ability to play so many positions on the field make him a huge asset.
The Stoke experiment didn’t work out. But it looks like he’s pulled the plug after 1.5 seasons so no big loss.
Good luck to the lad.

GoodLuck

He came on today in the 69th minute in a Copa Del Rey game against Badalona, a 2nd division team. Getafe surprisingly lost 2-0.

his best position is behind the striker in a Okazaki type role. Helping the defense and attack as needed.

Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
What's happening to Etebo in Spain? He's been left out of the squad for the last 2 league matches and is not registered for the Europa league.
I am happy
Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
Not sure what's happening either. I saw him play a match and he was not his usual self - although it should be said that he was playing as a wingback.

Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
He's made two substitute appearances as a right wing back in la liga. In both games he replaced Cameroonian international Allan Nyom. I watched one of the games. He kept it simple and did a good job protecting the defense and joined the attack on one or two occasions.

Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
I questioned why he went to Stoke in the first place besides money!
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!

Etebo is in the Getafe squad to play Barcelona on Saturday.
I am happy
Re: Etebo heading to Laliga(Getafe)
I agree with you, we saw the best of Etebo under Siasia in both the U23 and SE. The lad needs to go to a club where he would play to his strengths and fulfil his potentials. Unfortunately, his handlers are more interested in money. If this boy can find the right club and coach, he will explode.waka-man wrote:Exciting.
