"He told me jokingly: 'President I want to be the captain of Nigeria someday'.
"I was so excited about that & said: 'Why not, you play like Jay-Jay, Jay-Jay was captain so you can be another captain'.
''I don't think we want to allow that talent to go.''
Pinnick on Ebere Eze:
“I have been talking to Eze, I (even) speak to his father. He’s an excellent player, he loves this country that I can tell you.
“He wants to be given a bit of time but I’ll meet them soon in London, we cannot allow such a talent to go."

MODS! This belongs in world football with alacrity. Eze loves England , he’s at the England u21 camp as we speak preparing to represent them not Nigeria.

...this is why at senior level the SE fails to achieve because we dump all the juniors that have played together from u-whatever in favor of pirated kids born to Nigerians abroad.
And here Picnick is spending money jetting around Europe when he could have spent kobos at local level, local league, schools, etc.

Last I checked, some of these juniors from the youth teams are in the se:
And the money spent on the NPFL doesn't count as investment in the local league?

Pinnck is just not organised on his priorities, when we have players like Chidera Ejuke doing wonders in holland and he is killing himself for players ebere eze, you wonder where we have gotten too without any interest on our grassroot football.
he is looking for ebere while his u17 are failing in brazil

with all due respect the 2 players are different positions.
Eze is a player we would really need as only Iwobi is in that position.

Yup. This is what I also gathered right here on CE a few weeks ago.
I can never understand why people insist on restricting our options one way or another.
This popular belief that "we are stacked" in this department or that department is damn silly.
Not even Brazil or Germany regard themselves as "stacked".
Someone comes along and turns out to be better than what is available, he gets the role.
Finish.
Daz How Star Do.

With all due respect, get the eff outa here... You guys that just watch clips and form opinions are so annoying. His games are on ESPN+ stop being cheap and check them out. He’s a decent player, I would have called him before Aunt Viv, but he’s not on the level of our two Samuels yet. He is lightweight, dribble happy, and does zero defending, but he’s progressing and getting better as the season goes on. But damn stop forming opinions off little clips here and there.

Keep in mind the majority of the clip is from the useless Norwegian league. The bobo is decent but let’s not go overboard as if he’s doing this in the Dutch league he’s not...to me he’s on the same level as Denis Bonaventure, there’s a good amount of their game that needs to be polished up for them to become really efficient players, they have the tools though.

I think he's playing better now than he did in the Norwegian league. His goal ratio is higher which is highly encouraging and shows he's able to adapt at a higher level.
I know you watched him early on in the season but he has improved a lot within the last month and I'll say he's currently playing better than Kalu.

Can you even read? You just contradicted what he said. Sometimes, I dunno for you sef.
Niyi, I'll start tracking him again been very busy lately so I've been slacking, I'm glad he's improved.

If they would invest in local youths, they may never need to determine the preference of these foreign born kids.
