Adarabioyo Resumes Switch Of Allegiance Talks With Nigeria
Tosin Adarabioyio who is on loan from Manchester City to English Championship side Blackburn Rovers is in talks with the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) over a proposed switch of allegiance to the senior national team of Nigeria.
The 22 year old has impressed this season for Blackburn Rovers and his form has caught the attention of coach Gernot Rohr who has given his blessings to the NFF to speak with the defender.
It’s not the first time that he will be approached by Nigeria but unlike the past where he was a youth international with England, this time around he has aged beyond any of the youth teams of England and there is no chance of a call up to the senior national team at the moment.
In the past the defender who gladly acknowledges his Nigerian roots refused to completely rule out a switch of allegiance to Nigeria insisting on the fact that once he has a settled club career he will decide.
Rohr is searching for young defenders and he has already sounded out his assistants to speak with Tosin, who will most likely return to Manchester City next season and push for a spot in the first team.

He’s finally settled in his career, if he accepts he’ll be cleared in time for the last Afcon qualifier in time for the WCQ but let’s see.Tobi17 wrote:Tosin Adarabioyio who is on loan from Manchester City to English Championship side Blackburn Rovers is in talks with the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) over a proposed switch of allegiance to the senior national team of Nigeria.

This useless boy is just wasting our time And using us to shine in order to get his name back n the news. Let him wait his turn for England to call him,he should be focusing on Euro 2020 not AFCON 2021.

Re: Tosin Adarabioyio Resumes Switch Of Allegiance Talks Wit
shame its always been like that- Even the Iwobi and Moses of this world would have gone with England if they came calling (understandable) - only reason and difference is they never waited or hanged around until it was spelled out. Unlike the Lukmoon, Eze and seyi Ojo, Ibe Ejaria Akpom etc.john12 wrote:when I say that SE is only getting England "C rated" or "3rd team" dem go criticize me but read what the link says and agree/disagree. they even made it obvious that this one has no chance of making England team at all SMH. na only their "Reject" dey accept us

Adarabayo does not need a switch. He only played for England Youth teams in friendly matches.

Out of curiosity, have any of you two muppets ever seen him play?
This is a very talented player who at some point was involved in first team squad/training under Pep, but unlike Garcia, opted to go out on loan and get minutes...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Tosin Adarabioyio Resumes Switch Of Allegiance Talks Wit
Na wa-oo! I am very surprised we continue to go for the rejects (players other teams rejected, or who rejected us before). It seems many of these players know they will get into our team, no matter what.john12 wrote:when I say that SE is only getting England "C rated" or "3rd team" dem go criticize me but read what the link says and agree/disagree. they even made it obvious that this one has no chance of making England team at all SMH. na only their "Reject" dey accept us

Re: Tosin Adarabioyio Resumes Switch Of Allegiance Talks Wit
Any young quality player with a Nigerian name and DNA will always be welcome to the team... could care less if he's a C or Z option for England(maybe if we build our league, we wouldn't have to rely on "rejects" from England)... anything to have a solid team ahead of the world cup is welcome by me, welcome on board Tosin
Re: Tosin Adarabioyio Resumes Switch Of Allegiance Talks Wit
winning is important but National pride/Honor is more important. we can't make these guys think they can pick/choose on when to play for SE and it's most likely when their hype has evaporated. We cannot be a dumping ground for England/Germany rejects Anyway sha, the problem is nigerian fans only if they can be patient

Re: Tosin Adarabioyio Resumes Switch Of Allegiance Talks Wit
I totally agree but with governors given the position as club owners and teams paying for promotion and the NFF with out its own academy it just shows that Nigerian Football is not ready at domestic level, as a prominent CE told me “why should we do things to benefit foreigners” as Tony the Tiger said in the Frosties advert “They’re Greeeeeaaaaat” and cheers to that!Tobi17 wrote:Any young quality player with a Nigerian name and DNA will always be welcome to the team... could care less if he's a C or Z option for England(maybe if we build our league, we wouldn't have to rely on "rejects" from England)... anything to have a solid team ahead of the world cup is welcome by me, welcome on board Tosin

The more talented and genuinely young players we have to choose from the better for us.
I hope the switch comes to pass.

Re: Tosin Adarabioyio Resumes Switch Of Allegiance Talks Wit
Which national pride? Winning and having national pride shouldn't be mutually exclusive, I should be able to win and still be proud of my nation. And yes we will continue to be a dumping ground for rejects from England and Germany until we get our acts together and fix our league, till then nothing will change.john12 wrote:winning is important but National pride/Honor is more important. we can't make these guys think they can pick/choose on when to play for SE and it's most likely when their hype has evaporated.

Re: Tosin Adarabioyio Resumes Switch Of Allegiance Talks Wit
Whether we fix our league or not, it has no effect on the SE. How many French, Belgian, Brazilian or Argentine national team players play in their domestic league? Is it because it needs fixing? The days when we sourced players from the local league are long gone. Get with the programme!Tobi17 wrote:Which national pride?

For me the most important thing is to pull the trigger before England becomes interested.
