Let them come this will be the best signing for a Nigerian footballer
It is not about joining Barca it’s about having playing time, not warming the bench just to win trophies.
Super eagles going forward needs players that actively play for their clubs and not only employed by big names to warm bench.
Where do these reports come from? Everyday Complete Sports reports a Nigerian linked to some of the biggest clubs in the world. It is now like a virus.
The Report is True! It on Goal.com too. And the move if made possible, Ndidi should make the move! NDIDI is a Hard-working Talented player. I don’t see a Manager keeping him on the bench even if it’s Madrid! He is walking right to that starting 11. Mark my words this day. Please make the move if Barca comes calling
No one work harder than Ndidi on the field of play. He is the pillar and the back bone behand the Leicester doing so well in the Premier League. He will do so well anywhere he goes.
If there is a chance for Ndidi to go barca, then there should not be a second thought about it. Ndidi is matured enough n has got the talent to thrive in any of the top three teams in the world.
U just finish work,ndidi is a gem
Men, Ndidi going to Barca? That would be fantastic! Let’s hope it works out.
Wow glory my guy finally agree on Nigeria player playing for a bigger team, when I saw this topic I felt glory will criticise the move, glory indeed be to God. I now glory friend now, please let not let fear or inferiority complex make our player feel the can’t compete in bigger team, let encourage them. Senegal, Algeria and the rest have players in bigger team
Idempho @ Ekpe my brother.seems like you just wanna score some points against me. Cos I can’t remember going against our players moving to top teams. But sure remember advising they make such move at the right time, after careful consideration of the odds, like attitude/ mentality of teams management, their development, clubs fans, position playing as against players already available in that position for such teams etc. But for Ndidi going to Barca,the tide regarding such odd swings to his favour.
Guys relax!! It still a rumor. No offer made yet. Anyways Ndidi is one player that any coach will love to have in his team. A very professional and hardworking player.
