All those old guys and Kanu should go home for now. We now need the young blood guys to rejuvenate our Eagles. Those boys that Played in China are fantastic. They are galant losser. They are good guys.
Honestly, this is not the right way to pay these our football heroes. They had done so much for the country than to expect anyone to ask them to quit for whatever reason. We know that new ones should be introduced and the coach is doing that, not that he should drop all the players on ground as if they are useless. These guys have experience and are still doing well in their clubs, this shows that they have alot to offer. If they will quit, it should be their decison and not that anybody with selfish interest will be advocating for that. On the other hand, the coach should be allowed to do his job without interference - he knows whom to use and should be allowed to take his decisions without any dictation. Despite the fact that Nigeria is blessed with lots of talented footballers, such interferences had been causing trouble and affecting our successes in football and other sports. We appreciate the services of these guys (both new and old) and they should be treated with respect because they are making us proud both at home and abroad. God Bless Nigeria.
