He can be listed as English on the EPL site but it doesn't deny the fact that he is also Nigerian. Saka was born to Nigerian parents in England. Saka is eligible for Nigeria. If he is not Nigerian in anyway, he won't be eligible or referred to as Nigerian by any site at all.

Transfermrkt listed his citizenship as both English and Nigerian and the young man says he is Nigerian and not British-Nigerian. I will ultimately go with what the young man says until he eventually turns out for England's three lions (if that will ever happen). Finito.

Danielnino00:


Here's Saka profile on premier league and UEFA Europa league official sites..
He is listed as English..

He hasn't featured for the 3 lions yet,but he has played for their youth team,so internationally,he is English..

You are in "The Zone."

chrisooblog:
dude stop reading my thoughts

my prayer is to meet them in the finals of the next tournament they are hosting. Osimhen will score a hatrick as we beat the indomitable lions 4-0 before a packed yaounde crowd with paul biya squeezing face as he hands over the trophy to captain Ekong as e ma dami duro plays over the stadium sound system

Did I deny that he is Nigerian?

Arsenal have reportedly rejected a £3m bid from Sheffield United for Folarin Balogun...

Danielnino00:
Arsenal have reportedly rejected a £3m bid from Sheffield United for Folarin Balogun...

They should give him out for 3 million with a buy back clause of 7 million

The daily mail are reporting that Everton would be willing to listen to offers for Iwobi this summer..

Maybe this confirms that he isn't in Ancelotti's plan this season...

Danielnino00:

25 year old Folarin Balogun bags 20 goals in a season, Arsenal puts in a bid of 7 million and collects back their player

25 years is too long na..
Buy back clauses don't usually last that long...he is 19,BTW..

I think arsenal are asking for £15m ..
As the transfer market is already inflated, everybody wan cash out...

BTW, welcome back earthquake..abi u are indeed Sub-Zero?

I think buy back clauses are binding, 15 million is too much for an unproven player

And I'm not Subzero, I'm very busy nowadays

Lol... In those days players did not do stats-padding. But these days, every player knows almost everyone is looking at the stats and don't wanna know if you can even juggle the ball. Hahahahaha...

That is why the likes of KDB, Bruno Fernandes or even Messi fit vex for him striker if he does not bury one of his five clearly created chances in a game. You will be hurting their assists stats. Lol


I tell myself sometimes that if Stats were used "only" to actually judge Zinedine Zidane, you may see and read Slanders of how KDB (majorly a CAM) is better than Zidane (also a CAM). And this would likely be coming from people who didn't even watch Zidane. Lol

Zidane - 615 club appearances, 117 goals, 115 assists.

KDB - 451 club appearances, 104 goals, 173 assists.


International football: Zidane - 31 goals in 108 caps.
KDB - 19 goals in 74 caps so far.


Now looking at the stats, someone born in 2000 and began watching football maybe around 2010 would start arguing with you for nothing. Hahahahaha.

And I deliberately use KDB in this example b'cos he is probably the best Midfielder in the world right now and I love him. But can I say he sures Zidane? Can I say he is better? I also saw Zidane thankfully and I love him also.


So it is things like this that causes most people today to really talk down on Okocha. First they look at his Club stats... Then they tell you he won nothing or won little. But mehn... Okocha was such a world class beauty anytime anyday.

Icon4s:


You know, sometimes when you look back at Jay-Jay Okocha's magical moments, you cannot but wonder how he performed such magic.

I just look at People that underrate his qualities and shake my head. In of abilities Jay-Jay was on a different planet from other players.

Funny i dont fear any african team, however my dream final is Nigeria vs South Africa... Preferably in one of their big stadium... Problem is i dont trust those zulus ever making any final in my life time...

Fine then. So he is Nigerian. Let's put a peg on this here.

Danielnino00:


Did I deny that he is Nigerian?

Arsenal is crazy to ask for such amount. How many senior games has Folarin even played? How many EPL goals sef?

I like that Folarin kid and I want him out of Arsenal ASAP but it seems Arsenal is playing hard ball. I personally feel Folarin is better than Nketiah having watched both but Nketiah is just the lucky one. Folarin needs a place where he will continue his growth and be given first team opportunities abeg and not this thing Arsenal is doing with him.

2 days ago i watched zidane vs brazil at 2006 qf, oboy that man na god...

No be lie,

i still when we all shout with one voice goaaaallllll.......


That shout alone will brng more people, even some at the door and windows

Icon4s:
Growing up those days, the sitting room was never big enough for us to celebrate a goal. We usually ran out into the age way and run back in again

Some times we even ran out of the house if it was a BIG GOAL.

How many can relate

Maybe because he is an African.

safarigirl:

Well,it's technically reffered to as "summer transfer window"..
And yes,it's still open...

quickberry:

Boss,forget that thing...
Okocha was well appreciated by football fans even outside of Africa..
I think he would have won more personal accolades if he had played for a bigger club..

If Arsenal aren't willing to sell, Sheffield might go for Brewster..

It's not good that the guy has no senior appearance yet at 19... They should at least let him go on loan...

I think it is officially okay now to press the Worry and Panic button on Iwobi.

He is not listed for Everton today also in a League cup game we all know they will win comfortably.

Now I am genuinely worried for him. If he is injured or unfit, we would have news of that by now. What is happening to our Eagles' #10? Was really hoping Carlo will give him a chance sef but e be like say no room for that.


Please if you have any info on what could be happening to our lad Iwobi, please share coz I am not happy he is absent from the squad today.

Yeah, Rhian Brewster. The lad that wanted to threaten Osimhen's U-17 record. Ended up with 8 in the end. Lol

Brewster is a fine lad. Your lad. Sheffield might land him if they miss out on Folarin but I read Liverpool are still considering whether it would be a loan or a sale. I don't think you guys will sell off such a fine young lad yet would you?

As for Folarin..... Arsenal is just being unnecessarily greedy. No senior appearance. No single EPL showing yet you want 15Million. Infact that is business wickedness. Unreasonable price to place on the lad.

We lived in a very big house then with about 42 tenants. Whenever we score, you can only imagine how the scenery erupts in mirthful chatters.

We'd run to the balcony, shouting "goal" describing how the player had scored before returning to watch the match.

After the match, you'd see us moving from street to street disturbing the peace of the neighborhood.

Nostalgia!!

I didn't say he was not appreciated, he could have won more personal laurels if he was a white.

Sheffield will definitely not pay what arsenal are asking for....
So it's either he goes out on loan or remain with the u-23..

Maybe he should hand in a transfer request...

quickberry:

The clubs he played for weren't exactly elite!.
But he still won EPL player of the month,Bolton player of the year and goal of the year award in ...

I , the place used to vibrate whenever Nigeria scored. It was crazy.

Nowadays, Nigeria can be playing and you would not even know.

Can't find any news of him being injured or not fit.
So it's either he has been frozen totally by Ancelloti or he is on his way out of the club...
