Love this stance taken by Joe Aribo! I’m aware, it’s their life and their career but I am of the opinion that Nigerian players need to show a bit more ambition and resolve. They should not allow themselves to be cajoled or bullied into signing or extending contracts that might end up stifling their career. Afterall, as soon as they are no longer able to deliver, they will be discarded in a hurry.
It’s just going down when you leave The Rangers they’re the 2nd biggest club in UK after Man U
