:rotf: :rotf: Napoli is not the only club in the world. That is Napoli's loss BTW. Who cares? Other clubs will sign an African player who is good. That is the bottomline. BTW. If Osimhen is fit he will play in the AFCON as scheduled no matter the views of that guy.

Doesn’t seem like his issue is the timing/scheduling because he says he won’t release players for Copa America also which is in the summer, very weird logic, but he doesn’t mind releasing for the Euros?

this is a major issue. We have majority of our CAF players in Europe... CAF cannot keep on switching the AFCON every year from Summer to January .. The issue falls on CAF.. pick your date and stick with it

Mace04,

You are the one calling it weird logic. The reality is that he is expressing publicly what other Euro clubs believe should be done. The AFCON in the summer will not stop the rumbling. The next excuse will be that the players arrive tired and are not ready to play in the season because they did not take a summer break. That is coming down in as few years. Bet on it. People need to wise up to what this is really about.

This is your projection and not supported by facts.

Do managers complain about international fixtures and the use of their players? Absolutely!
But they all release them anyways.

The AFCON matter is in a different category b/c of the schedule.

He should F off

This is a recurring theme from some of these clubs who expect African teams to bend to their will. These type of outbursts shouldn’t even get any news time.

When I said this will be an ongoing problem I was accused of "defending europeans"

This WILL affect our players being signed by top clubs.

ANC needs to be in June, and if a country cannot handle holding the tourneys at that time then too bad.

As one said you cannot go to war with those that feed you.

Afcon is the only major tourneys that conflict with the European leagues.

na una dey give am publicity
However implicit in his out burst, he is creating a very hostile working environment and his statements amount to harassment of the players concerned and shouldn't be taken lightly. CAF ought to file a formal complaint to FIFA in those regards

To be frank, that Napoli guy was simply spitting bulls...... he really is talking trash. It is a competitive world, if does not sign them, others will and may gain an advantage. What he could simply do is use the fact that such players may be absent for a period, every couple of years, as a wage negotiation advantage. Nothing more, nothing less.

You’re suggesting he use Afcon as an excuse to pay them less when negotiating, he’ saying he’d rather not deal with Losing players for Afcon and won’t sign African players.

What’s the difference?

The difference ought to be clear. In one case, he negotiates for service based on what he may believe is fair and on the other he shoots himself on the foot. It is up to him to see the difference.
