Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move

the responses so far are exactly why we need a coach that counters the Nigerian element of oddities. Imagine this headline: ***Brazilian Coach throws camp open for home based players for Senior Team selection. *** Even with a better league than our NPFL wouldn't this sound off to you? Here's the st...

Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move

I don't see anything wrong with a homebased training camp prior to the release of foreign players. Which successful African team does this ? CIV ? Senegal ? Morocco ? Are those teams more successful than Nigeria when it comes to African football? Iike I stated our most successful coaches till date,...

Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move

I have said this before; I am less interested in the dichotomy of local vs foreign coach or Oyinbo vs non-oyinbo. I think this too unintelligent (as I weary of using the word "dumb"). My yearning was for us to hire the best coach that we can afford. I did state that there are ONLY a few N...

Re: Kelechi Nwakali…

When Nwakali can play like this, call me. Midfield is a two way street. Offensive capability is 50% of the job requirement. Paul defines the work required on and off the ball. https://youtu.be/CFMPfxOZimg?si=YcfGqJISGkhqwl4t Which of our current midfielders play like this? Aribo for example is a re...

Why? Na I’m pali? So any player that is fast and skillful on t...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly

Re: OSAZE CALLS LOCAL COACHES PLAYER AGENTS

There you have it. He says no to a local coach because they are ALL player agents who use SE to market their clients ahead of better players. That right there is why I will never back a local coach, until this culture of corruption changes. Is he lying ? I don't think so. We've seen clear evidence ...

Where did Siasia say that it was him that was paid N1 million a month? Which local coach out-earned oyibo coaches? Where is the person that did the local v foreign comparison since 1980. Can we have a similar comparison for salaries? I thought the discussion was about local coaches being paid N1m p...
