Serie A club Lazio have officially announced the signing of Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru on loan with option to buy from Turkish Super Lig side Hatayspor.
Lazio confirmed the loan signing on their website on Saturday.
The Dele-Bashiru has moved to Lazio on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy if certain sporting conditions are met.
Reports earlier in the week suggested that Lazio have paid a fee of around €2m to secure the loan, and will be obliged to pay a further €4m to make the deal permanent.
The 23-year-old, who had joined Hatayspor as a free agent at the beginning of last season, is still under contract in Turkey until 2026, but he will be approaching the final year of that deal at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Reports in Italy claimed that there was a €7m release clause in the player’s Hatayspor contract, which means that Lazio have managed to negotiate a cut-down price.
Dele-Bashiru arrived in Rome on Thursday and has since completed the necessary medical checks and contract signings.
After playing for the Manchester City youth team, whom he joined at the age of 8, he moved to Sheffield Wednesday in July 2020, signing for an undisclosed fee.
On 6 July 2023, it was confirmed he had joined Turkish club Hatayspor on a three-year contract.
He scored eight goals in his first Süper Lig season, finishing as the club’s joint-top scorer along with Carlos Strandberg, including a crucial goal on the final matchday in a 2–0 win over Rizespor, securing his club’s survival in the top tier.
In October 2023 he was called-up to the Nigeria national team and scored on his debut in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying match versus South Africa which ended 1-1 inside the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
Lazio have been Italian champions twice (1974, 2000), and have won the Coppa Italia seven times, the Supercoppa Italiana three times, and both the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and UEFA Super Cup on one occasion.

Congrats Fisayo, I am sure you will have a successful time at Lazio. Remember, this is just a start, keep demanding a lot from yourself. Top tier is the goal.
A goldfish has no hiding place.
From the championship to the Superliga to the Serie A.
Congrats young lad.
Thanks Finidi George for extending Super Eagles invitation to Dele-Bashiru and allowing him to thrive in an offensive orientated philosophy.
Congratulations to you Dele-Bashiru for this move to Lazio.
We are hoping to see your brother also in the Super Eagles in the not too distant future.
He made his debut under Peseiro against Mozambique late last year. That’s where most fans noticed his offensive potentials not under Finidi. Under Finidi SuperEagles were toothless. Our two goals came from individual brilliance. There was no pattern or game plan whatsoever. I’m glad for the young lad. At least we have a somewhat decent number 10 in our disposal for the nearest future. Congrats Fisayo.
I think many discerning Nigerians have always been aware of his “offensive potentials” considering Fisayo (as well as his brother Tomi) were in the U20 Flying Eagles camp as far back as 2019. Glad to see those “potentials” coming to fruition. Up Naija!
I’m not sure Fisayo was in the U20 camp of 2019. I remember Ayotomiwa his brother made Aigboguns team to the U20 WorldCup. I’m happy for the kid and he’s here to stay in the SuperEagles for the most part of at least a decade.
Please when is that great defender from Tanzania league going to sign a big deal, or is he not better than the ones we have in German, Belgium, English, Scottish league.
Can you tell us finidi pattern of play for the four games he was the coach.
Try and check record before given undue accolade to whom he is not due
@Douglas, perhaps when the likes of Semi Ajayi sign a “big deal”
News Alert 9jaRealist: Semi Ajayi is in the radar of Real Madrid.
Why are fans heaping blames on Tanimu….Semi Ajayi and Calvin play in better leagues and still got dominated by Benin. This guy played right back which is not his natural position and y’all still blaming him lol na wa ohh
Excuse me? I have gone back through my contribution and fail to see wheere I mentioned Finidi handing Dele-Bashiru his debut.
You said ‘most fans’ recognised his potentials under Peseiro. Well I am not Mr Most Fans.
Two goals from Finidi came from “individual brilliance”. Was it you or Finidi who invited the players who exhibited the brilliance?
Lol! Finidi invited them?? Anyway google is your friend. Thank God he’s now history. Our SuperEagles has moved on and we can now hope for the best under a foreign coach. It was visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that Finidi doesn’t have a clue what he was doing in the 4 games he was in charge. Thank goodness for bye bye to Radarada.
Mate, I am not living in the past. It was visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that Finidi was clueless. Those blind and deaf people should thank heavens for the miracle that restored their senses.
Is Google your enemy? Hahahah!
Anyways, yeah I join you in looking forward to the next chapter in the Super Eagles odyssey. May the new gaffer have all the luck and support in the world.
Finidi did his best but his best just wasn’t good enough for the immediate tasks on hand where he needed to hit the ground running emphatically. You don’t need disabled people to experience miracles to acknowledge and accept that fact! Hahaha 🙂
By the way, Oga, even if your enemy Google shows that it wasn’t Finidi who invited Fisayo Dele Bashiru, perhaps other search engines like Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Baidu or Ask.com will show you that Finidi selected the match day squad and arranged the players in a 4-3-3 formation that allowed 2 attacking midfielders (Dele-Bashiru and Onyedika) to shine.
Lol hahaha 🙂
Then he switched to 2-4-4 which metamorphosis to 5-0-4 under pressure Lmao!!!! We all saw the gap between our defense and attack like Sahara Desert in the second half against Benin. Leemaooo!!!
Well I’m glad we quickly Sọji though a bit late but I’m optimistic we will turn things around. We just reached an AFCON final so no course for alarm under a foreign gaffer who knows how to grind out results.
@Ayphillydegreat… Please let’s be objective. Yes granted… Finidi made some very wrong and weird decisions starting from the two friendly games he handled. The writing was on the wall from those games were he did not even start our best player at AFCON (Look man) and he did not select Dele-Bashiru and Tella Nathan for either game also… that for me was where Finidi showed he was never an objective individual. He played Iheanacho in both games and he was disastrous just like against South Africa… I believe Nathan never wanted to play for him after those humiliation of being left out of the squad in the friendly games against Ghana and Mali. However, we are not learning that Bassey refused to be deployed to leftback and it was he and Ajayi Marshalling our central defence that prove calamitous leaking goals. I think Ajayi and Bassey should be ashamed of how they performed at central defence in those two qualifiers… especially the howler from Bassey that lead to Benin first goal. The game against South African also exposed our central defence as the guy who scored just strolled and waltzed through our entire defensive setup… Now we can’t hold the coach responsible for those goals conceded as players who are supposed to be dependable at their jobs went to sleep and showed they were not good enough… Ajayi is a perpetual bench warmer at his championship club and Bassey is too uncoordinated to marshal central defence… Ajax Amsterdam warned us against Bassey… At Fulham, I will tell you for free that it’s Adarabioyo that is making Bassey look good. So please… Let’s blame a coach when he actually deserved to be blamed and hold players equally accountable where we evidently need to. One love…
The coach deserves to be blamed for everything…simple! The report about Bassey refusing is rubbish. The coach is the manager and not the other way round. The players don’t call the shot. So now players tell the coach were they want to play? That means the coach doesn’t have any business being a coach in the first place. Even making that argument is funny..lol. And about Bassey and Adarabioyo, they both complement each other. Go watch Fulham vs Arsenal and see how Bassey kept Saka out of the game. He did the same in other games. Peseiro noticed the weakness in our defence and played 5 at the back, but Finidi (who was part of Peseiro’s crew) decided to play 4 man defence, so all the blame goes to the coach!!!
@Ownajunior… Bassey who looked confused should not be blamed for the first goal conceded against Benin Republic? Complete clueless gragra inconsistent defender.
@jimmyball just out of curiosity, how do you feel since we’ve failed with our own, back to back? From eguaveon to finidi,are you glad?
Come on AY, you are better than this. It it were shallow minded area boys masquerading as a medical doctor like Dr. Banks saying this sort of rubbish, I won’t be surprised but I hold you in high intellectual esteem despite our divergent view.
The formation never morphed into 2-4-4 or 5-0-5 in the second half as you say.
From 4-3-3, Finidi removed Iwobi and brought on Victor Boniface to change the formation into 4-2-4 with an emphasis of having 2 strikers up front with wingers and full-backs offering width and delivering crosses.
Yes, naturally, when the 2 fullbacks overlapped, it did resemble something like 2-2-6 but that is just a natural occurrence in-games when players move around to execute routines.
There really is no point to discuss Finidi’s tactical approach because, by and large, it failed to give birth to a minimum of 2 points across 2 games which would have left us in a less precarious position, hence he was demoted which honestly I have no problem with.
Oh wow……….@deo Olodo, you can open your mouth yakata like caterpillar to call me area boy? I need not drag words with you on that because it already showed how much of a dumbhead you are.
You are only doing your paid job of promoting those Nimcompus in the NFF Technical dept and Finidi.
When you started those your lopsided empty wayward analyses after each of the 4 matches by Finidi, I knew then that some brown envelopes was responsible for those vague write ups.
Now that your “Finish it” had obviously failed woefully, I thought you will come back to your senses and realise what shallow brain you’d been but you still continue collecting stipends from Finidi for some damage control.
Do you actually read the rubbish that you write again and again? How does it make any sense to you?…..Oh I forgot you don’t have any sense in you……sorry!!!
The 2 strikers he introduced without any link up midfielders were falling over themselves for same ball, that’s the tactics you are hailing @deo (or @ODE). So what tactic in the world will you have 2 wing backs (overlapping fullbacks) + 2 Wingers + 2 strikers but no attacking midfielders?
I recommend that you need to go urgently for a Brain MRI so we can know for sure that your skull is filled with sawdust instead of white and grey matter brain tissue
Dr Harold Shipman Oloriburuku. Are you busy killing your patients? Son of a bitch. I only gave you one cookie. Dr Lucy Lethby. Awon Dr Omoale. Oloshi Jatijati. So it is the envelope Alhaji Gusau gave me that is your f*ckin problem. Send me your bank details and I’ll send you of the money. Ashiere Jatijati ajeku aja.
Dr Banks, you found yourself. Good boy! Now, get yourself a cookie from the cookie jar and be on your way, boy.
Douglas,
Thanks. Perhaps you might want to direct your questions about Tanimu’s future career direction to him or his agent. I am not his spokesman.
A cursory investigation on Google will help you in your quest of finding out the pattern of play under Finidi. You will not need much mobile data for that.
Perhaps you want to avail yourself of watching a match on repeat-view to take in the finer details you missed the first time around. That would make your hatred less intense.
Awon area boys, shots fired! See vicinity above for the suspect, a lone wolf
Am double sure something is wrong because deo is far better than what you are writing these days. The only player that was driving the team forward was Iwobi and the clueless finidi replaced him with Boniface that was useless upfront, at a point boni was forced to drop deep as no service was getting to him. Immediately rohr noticed that, he removed his defensive midfielder to further proved how clueless your finidi was. And you are here giving all sort of excuses.
You are entitled to your opinion but cannot forced or make it real to all.
Finidi this, finidi that, abeg make una let the poor man rest, he sha don leave the yeye over rated players for you. Lookman played 180 mins after whining about not being used at a friendly, abeg wetin he do. So funny how people are coming here to blame finidi for goals conceded due to errors by professionals. Would finidi pause the game to position players, i really don’t it. Well you can smell hatred that whys many of you don’t want him.
I had expected that bus conductor medical doctor to comment again but alas the cookie I gave him filled his belly.
Such an idiot. Agbero.
Dr Harold Shipman Oloriburuku Banks, I am waiting for your bank details to send you some of the money from NFF. OMOALE OLOSHI ASHIERE. Idiot Jatijati.

Men, I am pissed. I took holiday today and am sitting by my phone all day for this idiot Dr Death. I am here all day for him.
Tayo is next,, followed by that Mr 442. Enough is enough.
Eyi ti won ba bi iyalaya e re ko wa ta si mi leni.
All gloves are off.
FINIDI GEORGE IS THE BEST COACH NIGERIA EVER HAD. BETTER THAN WESTERHOF 100 TIMES OVER.
Yes, I said it. And I am waiting for your replies o! Tayo, 442, Dr Ashewo come and reply.
deo -be careful what you ask for, your ass may get it hehehe! and calm down boy! E be like say r*****s don scatter your dull kolo brain today sha! You ever heard the phrase when trouble sleep, yanga go wake am, wetin e find?- na wahala him dey find na wahala him go geti oo lmao!
Look here my essay writing dumbass friend, leave my name out your mindless gbeges with that equally kolo dr of mediocrity – you two idiots deserve each other but I warn you again and for the first and last time to leave my esteemed name out your s**ts pmsl
Oh. and by the way – and fyi Lucy Letby is not a Dr hehehe yeye oversabi – abi na you dash am doctorate? lmao pmsl, letby na comon nurse, so get your shit right before coming at me, I never was involved in your s**t, just because life had frustrated you does not give you permission to lash out like a patient of a mental asylum okay? mumu lmao
Oh Four Four Two, you are in town. That’s
great. Your research abilities haven’t let you down. Indeed, Lethby and Allitt are nurses who share something in common with doctors: being medical professionals. Even your stupid brain can comprehend that.
Patient from a mental asylum you say, I guess it takes one to know one. I am calling you out bitch for being rude to me the other day. So, let me see what you’ve got. Give me your best shot, idiot.
I am surprised you didn’t correct me as well about Beverly Allitt. Or don’t you know she is a nurse too rotting in jail?
Again, I have called you out. I eagerly wait for your response. Why you people will respond to posts with ignorant idiocy is beyond belief.
442, let’s get the party on the road.
FourFourTwo, you never involved yourself with me. Hmmmm. I guess, when you urinate in someone else’s garden, you forget simply because you go about urinating in many gardens. But the people whose garden you desecrate never forget.
Brother, I am waiting for your response. On this occasion, I am not careful what I wish for, so bring it on.
Mumu.
Let’s see what you have in your locker. Give it to me. Throw your best shot. Don’t hold anything back.
Idiot.
442, your post really aroused my curiosity. I am eagerly waiting to see what exactly you are made of, my non-essays writing clown. Thanks again for letting me know that Lucy Lethby is not a carpenter. Lolzzzz. For your in again, Doctors and Nurses work in the medical profession which provides context for comparison, fool.
Brother mumu, I am waiting o. Mr Oxymoron, you remember? Mr Onuachu has no aerial prowess, you remember?
Mumu.
442, what’s taking you so long? Abi you no get data? Leave your number so I can top you up. With the way you boasted above, one would be forgiven for expecting instant barage of sharp witted insults. What happened? Cat cut your tongue? Or are you still in your mental asylum? Fool.
I eagerly wait for your essays. Hahaha.
442 ko 505 ni. Worthless idiot. What are you going to me? You can do no more than a rotten dead rat. Even a dead rat is more valuable than you. You want to scare me. Okie dokie. I am still waiting o. The anticipation is consuming me.
Mumu, goat, pig, maggot.
“” deo -be careful what you ask for, your ass may get it hehehe”””
So what the hell are you for??????????????????!
442 Lethby, I thought Lucy Lethby was a shoemaker. Hahahahaha. What of Harold Shipman, is he an actor? Idiot. 442 Lethby. What the hell are you waiting for?
Dick head. Prick.
deo, something really is eating at you and in a sense, though I want to trample you under foot by replying you in kind and delivering the “knockout gbosa” by reminding you of the things that make it obvious that you are “frustrated” like saying moronic things like
” Doctors and Nurses work in the medical profession which provides context for comparison, fool.” pmsl!! so by your upside down “gidigbo” logic then there might as well not be any distinction in the job titles, do you follow my feeble friend? or is that too much sense for your nonsense brain to comprehend? – Okay then, according to deo, from today on, let’s just call all doctors nurses and all nurses doctors ba? Or let’s just call all of them doctors, whether it is a nurse or actual doctor, or maybe call them all nurse abi? pmsl lmaoo, Come on deo man, where is your head at?? also what levels have you descended to man! Haba! Are you even sure this is the same deo?? someone who despite his long winded and often incomprehensible jargon, I still had a lot of time for as he was an upstanding straight shooting fellow- even though it was very obvious that some puppet master was controlling the strings to his long winded feathered tip lmaoo! eh! you have so little shame and have lost all respect even for your own self that, shame would not even prevent you from dragging out your own dirty laundry in public by your own self – nna are you sure that you are okay? Or is there juju involved? Because you are acting very very strange these days deo – I really had no aim to drag you out and expose you in respect to your stupid claims that you were trying to give your “master” Finidi the credit for Nwabili’s exploits as “sweeper keeper” do you REMEMBER? lmaoo! but you even went further down the crazeman route of trying to claim that Onuachu your star striker somehow has aerial prowess hahehahehahehahe! Kai! deo you are a very stupid man! lmao and let me advise you my “used to be” friend – no matter how much a man gives you is never enough for you to drag your own reputation in the mud by your own self, with this your conduct, I am sure that Finidi and the rest of you NFF puppet masters can even pay you and you will allow them unfettered access to your wife’s “kpekus” lmao – the conversation will go something like – oya deo take this chicken change and bring your wife here so that I can “****” her kpekus, then deo will answer, no wahala oga, oya here she is, take her pmsl!!
Honestly deo – I really don’t want to go there with you because the truth is that what I really feel toward you is not anger nor do I want to drag anything with you my friend, I actually feel sorry for you – this public disintegration of your mental state is very disheartening to see and I would rather advice you to let it stop here – I have no animosity with you, we only disagreed on some football matters, that’s not enough for you to commit suicide for – pls I extend the olive leaf – concentrate on your wahala with the quack mumu dr and leave me out of it. Honestly, let it go, I really have no bone to pick with you – you made some serious gaffs in stating someone absolute nonsense and I had to call you out on them – specifically the Nwabali and Onuachu matters, beyond that I have no quarrel with you and even with those points, I was not quarrelling with you but correcting your slip-ups, I don’t really blame you for trying to write stuff and establish some type of reputation but please refrain from working covertly for unscrupulous thieving illiterates who are causing you to commit professional suicide my good friend.
OH, and by the way, it’s not “cat cut your tongue” It’s “cat got your tongue?” Omo calm down seriously. I will not apologise for disagreeing with the things you said about Onuachu, Nwabali and even previously before that, variously defending Uzoho and generally acting like an enemy of Nigerian progress. Please brother.
442, with the way you boasted, I had genuinely expected a knockout blow, but what I got was a chicken trying to bully a dog. Man you are lightweight sha.
All you these rude abusive bastards, I have your time today. Tayo, it’s your turn o. Mr 442 is struggling to lay a glove on me.
Mr 442 Lucy Lethby.
Mr 442 Cat eat your tongue.
Mr 442 Oxymoron.
Mr 442 Aerial Prowess.
Mr 442 NFF payroll.
What next? Is that all you got? Punk ass b*tch. Stupid buffoon. Worthless swine.
You don’t want to pick issues with me, I want to pick issues with you. So let’s rock suckerrrr scum!
Four Four Two,
Honestly, I tried to follow the logic in your rambling write up but got lost somewhere.
You see, I have no qualms in people disagreeing with me over any topic – that’s fine, it’s a free world and we are all entitled to agree and disagree with others. But, it is when people attack my integrity or question my motives or insult me outright that I find most unacceptable.
It is not that you disagree with me over Finidi, Uzoho or any other matters that is the problem. But you come across too strong and too abusive, not only to me but to others. And listen, I will not tolerate it anymore.
Honestly, I think you are an idiot. I think you are scum and I think you are a lowlife worthless bastard.
People say: cat got your tongue. I introduce my own version to say Cat chewed off your tongue. If my version bothers you, you can hug a wet transfomer and die. You stupid prick.
If your reply above is a knockout blow, how come am I still standing? That just goes to show you how stupid, presumptious and unintelligent that you are.
Dr Banks Buffoon works in a medical profession that brings him dangerously close to patients in a manner that can cause him to harm them like a nurse. Hence I call him Lucy Letby. If this logic does not sit well with you, you can drink rat poison and die.
Mate, I don’t care about you. I don’t care about what you think about me. You and your views about me can rot in hell.
I am fed up, fed up with idiots like you who can’t debate in a sensible, sensitive manner. Now I have decided to sink down to your gutter level. Please don’t let cat cut your tongue o. For all eternity I will always use my own version and stick to my logic.
If you don’t like it, you can hang. It is really rich of you. The other day you attacked Pompei unprovoked. You attacked Arara Kumbie unprovoked. You have quarrelled with this stupid Dr Banks Buffoon now you are trying to position yourself as a Morality Police, you son of a b*tch.
It seems as if your knock out blow has actually invigorated me. Instead of acting as kryptonite, it has made me more Super. You lunatic, Reprobate, scaliwag.
Please, deliver another knockout BLOW, I am waiting. I LOVE IT.
Okay then mr deo – supervillian lmaoo!- I will simply say with regard to all your strong cursing and real bad wishes, “RETURN DIRECTLY TO SENDER 7 times” As for everything else, continue defending your gang members as you have now identified your inner caucus lmaoo! You and the rest of your nefarious crowd Pompei and his boyfriend Arara “the only gay in the village” Kumbie, lmao – I really meant it when I said I have no quarrel with you so, I will not even reply anymore because I can see that you are in the “RED” zone, I don’t know if someone fu***d your wife or she left you or you are also now a gay, but no matter – I will simple return all your curses back to you again a “THOUSAND FOLD”, after that I will keep my peace and if you want to know peace then rest, otherwise continue, it is no longer any concern of mine. Goodbye to nasty rubbish – you have descended to disgusting depths, you have really sold your soul to the devil and may God help you. PMSL
Come back please, please 442. Also, give me my wife back, now I know who she left me for. To be honest you can keep her. Hahaha she is no longer my problem.
How come you now want to chicken out? Let’s rock this joint. I HAVE KEPT QUIET ENOUGH FOR LUNATICS LIKE U. NO MORE. I WILL TEAR YOU ALL LIMB FROM LIMB.
You know I now have a girlfriend, u can come and have her too so you, her and my wife can engage in some threesome orgy, you maniac.
I am really pissed off with people like you, Doc Octopus and Tayo. This platform will no longer be big enough for us.
Dick head.
All your own curses too shall return to you one billion fold.
Additionally, 442, I want you to please quarrel with me. I think you held back in your previous message which was quite unfortunate. I will really like to see your knockout blow.
Your entry above was like trying to hit Mike Tyson with a feather, try harder.
When I tolerate your bullshit, my mental health is intact. But when I speak in the only language scumbags like you understand, then my mental health is compromised. Funny that.
You people are cowards, worthless, mindless, spineless cowards of low low intellectual aptitude.
So, scoring headers in league football doesn’t matter, Nwabili supporting the back line with passes under Finidi does not matter, or the loose formation that further compounded Uzoho’s challenges does not matter.
Well f*ck you, yeah f*ck you. Motherf*cker. When you respected me, did it put money in my pocket. Now that you no longer respect does it remove a speck of hair from my head?
Idiot. They can only see as far as their nose. What do Doctors and Nurses have in common? Ability to administer medication and harm patients if they are evil enough to do so. Even that simple inference is too much for this moron to comprehend.
Please pick issues with me. Nothing will make me happier. So, because I acknowledge the decent elements of Finidi’s tenure, that means I am under the NFF’s payroll. So who is mad between you and me?
A lunatic always thinks he is sane while looking at sane people as mad. You are going loopy 442 and you don’t even know it. You mentioned juju which makes me think that perhaps you touched on something about your life. Get help before it is too late.
“In real life, you cannot look into my eyes without bowing down, so you are not worth my time.”
If you see the idiot in real life sef, he will not even stand out among a crowd.
How much do you have?
Do you own an aeroplane?
Do you dine with royalty?
Do you have easy access to Aso Rock?
Do you travel with a convoy in sirens?
Stupid idiot. Who do you think you are?
F*ck you and your wealth!
Arse hole.
So you still don’t see now that madness don enter your body. See as all your body come dey vibrate jigijigi like say you get “Grand Mal epileptic fits”.
Better go see your doctor to give you a jab of Serenace (Haloperidol) to calm you down and normalise your central nervous system before you become uncontrollable and enter market place naked
Madness don enter your body – is that the best you can do? Son of a b*tch.
Coming here to reel out medical jargon. Listen scum, you don’t impress me much! Jab, Mal epileptic fits, Serenace (Haloperidol) blah blah blah , orie o pe. Your head is not correct.
Why not give us a lecture on Hippocratic oath! Abi you dey murder your patients? Worthless idiot.
I thought I wasn’t in level. How come you are responding? Rich dunce. Oponu OSHI. OLOSHI.
Stupid idiot.

Guys make una relax. Me I’m done with all these tantrums. I’m only here now to talk about football and blame whoever needs to be blamed when results don’t go our way, then drop a few advice on the way forward and move on. I can only be here all day with you if you come here with lies and unproven facts.
We’re here happy about our young lad who made a big move and a good addition to the SuperEagles for the most part of a decade at least.
If Finidi want to take the credit for discovering Bashiru no problem. At least record Dey that Peseiro capped him. There is absolutely nothing anybody can tell me that can change the fact that Finidi failed spectacularly. I have nothing against him, in-fact he was one of my favorite in the class of 94.
However, when it comes to coaching the SuperEagles he’s not ready at all. He was another Oliseh whom I support that time but failed devastatingly.
Look at France at the Euros, they’re playing exactly like the SuperEagles played at the AFCON. The only difference is that they have a better midfield. Omo Football is only about results nowadays. We need a foreign coach that can grid out results in vital circumstances. Anybody can cry me a river if that’s their family problem. Lmao!!
@AY have you read the news going round that Bournemouth Dominic Solanke ready to play for Nigeria after England snubs him from Euro 2024 squad?

This 442 GAYLORD GUTTERBORN BASTARD has emerged once again from his filthy sewer to come and pollute our presence!
OLOSHI OLORIBURUKU ENIYAN.
ASIERE LASAN LASAN.
BLOODY NINCOMPOOP!
He has again opened his filthy mouth, revealing rotten, decayed teeth. A consumate dullard, hopelessly foolish in all his idiotic ways.
Go back to the gutter! Go back to the sewer! Stay in the pit latrine, where you belong!
The thing about 442 GAYLORD GUTTERBORN is that he quarrels with guys he’s sexually attracted to.
He has been trying to ask Deo out for a while now, but no way. So he’s lashing out. He’s foaming at the mouth out of sheer frustration.
Mumu wey dey call another person mumu. Useless idiot of the highest order.
This is not a gay site. 442 GUTTERBORN BASTARD, KING OF GAYS, go and solicit gays elsewhere.
The man opens his filthy mouth, and confusion and chaos immediately reigns supreme.
What kind of wild beast is this fellow?
A total simpleton, who wants to be “an elite”.
Bloody idiot, earn the respect of others by the content of your ideas and character, not by spitefully seeking opportunities to pull others down and drag them in the mud. You are already in the mud. In fact, you are from the filthiest depths of the sewer. Remain there, and stop coming out and polluting this place!
Kai! This pain is too unbearable for you isn’t it pompei the gay puppy pmsl. You this fatherless borndashaway canid lmfaoo. It actually just shows how powerful the great 442 and his words are to you – If the great 442 can destabilise your whole life with just one or two choice words pmsl! You have been crying foul since then but not even your gay boyfriend lover arara kumbie can soothe your hurting backside lmaoo – ducking irrelevenat piece of sh*Te
Your screams of the immense 442 not being an ELITE bellies your guttural reaction to a few choice words from the same 442 – If I am not ELITE, how come my words have so much power over your sad life then? lmaoo
Go and cry your mother a river you disgusting lowlife – waste of space old man who spends his entire life on CSN LMFAOOO! Bloody weakest link! lmfaooo
Back to sender, oloriburuku oloshi eniyan.
All your hateful and spiteful words will revert right back on your evil head!
442 GAYLORD GUTTERBORN BASTARD URCHIN,
You and the word ELITE don’t belong in the same zip code. In fact, you’re not in the same galaxy. You dey Milky Way, the word ELITE is in another galaxy.
Don’t kid yourself.
Once again, all your curses, may they revert right back on your evil, demented head.
@onwajunior who is the favourite to
be the super eagles coach
If a gay folk Na sinner, is any one of us free of sins? We de break commandments daily, weekly, monthly and yearly but we de go after gay folks. Gay slurs DE fly here like missile like say we different. If any member of the LGBTIQ community no go breathe in peace, then we sef no go breathe in peace
Someone else say gay folks Na abomination but he forget Christians also Na abomination to certain groups. In fact some groups out there still believe we black folks are meant to be slaves forever . That your religious book you comfortable cherry pick poison from, us the same religious book other evils groups predicate their own on. Them no free see our humanity according to their interpretations of the same religious document we de use tongue lash and discriminate other human beings.
The stench of our hypocrisy strong. If some of us serious about what’s written in our religious books, then let’s start with our families and friends. If we all follow what’s written in our religious books, Abrahamic or not, none of us go de alive
JHK- abi watin, biko sharap dere! msctheew. yuh nor get any sese at all for dat yer bald head robbish! come here for csn come dey talk nosence idiot! i nor blame yuh, na de guard man dem wey de gree yuh come outside na dem i blame. fullish
@pompei and @deo, I assumed both of you to be from the eastern part of the country because I used to have a friend then from
The East by name Pompei, but the way and manner you both typed and sure would speak YORUBA fluently makes me have some kinda rethink. Or should it be that YORUBA is better at releasing those anger that can change someone’s destiny niii?
All the same I will ask you all parties involve to chill, this suppose to be soccer blog, for learned and mature individual, make una chill ooo.
Pompei and Deo are from the SE. I know that for sure. They might be mixed with the SS and SW, But they probably grew up in the SW. Anyway they’re just sarcastic forumites in some aspects. And they’re some of most intellectuals all the way since Kickoffnigeria.
I don’t really think Deo is angry at Dr. Banks it was just the heat of the moment, but Deo should be more matured in this scenario as he’s an Elder statesman. Likewise Pompei.
I have a lot of friends from the SE and SS. Dr Banks too is an intellect therefore, I have no idea what transpired between them. Lmao!! I just Dey laugh at bants.
Anyway it doesn’t change the fact that Finidi was not the right man for the job.
Aphilly, omo Yoruba ni mi ooo.
Omo Eko for that matter.
Okay Bro. Ọmọ Eko Pataki. I was born in Isalẹ Eko, Anikantamọ to be precise. From Campus to Ido Oluwo, Arọ Lọya. Okepopo all the way to Lafiaji na there I grew up before coming to America.. Ẹ jẹburẹ Awo Olugbẹbẹ.
Omoh those banter no be hear ooo, one side of me be like make then no stop while the other be like this getting to much, all this all of you the OG here @Dr bank, @pompei, @deo and @442 make u all take chill zobo and let’s return to our normal default setting pls. ( ejebure awo olu gbebe).
Femostica and Ayo dot, I troway salute o my guys. as you be omo Isale Eko, me sef I be Shitta guy for Surulere so we be one of the same my guy.
@deo was just being mischievous and you all know say Eko guys no dey gree for anybody no matter how refined we are but I am sorry if anyone feel offended.
@deo my guy, let’s sheath the sword and embrace peace, I used to enjoy your analyses until Finidi happened to 9ja. One love bro
Femi, I’m a Yoruba man who’s first instinct is to like people in general.
But if you give me a reason to dislike you, that can also be arranged.
I’m fond of Igbos because of their food and culture. It’s just a personal preference.
Where you come from doesn’t matter much to me. What matters is your intellect and your character.
HJK, the idiot accused me on a previous thread of being gay. He said myself and Arara Kumbie are lovers.
That’s why I have to give it back to him wotowoto.
I’m no saint. I’m human, and it hurts when someone just opens their mouth in abject stupidity to attack and undermine my person. But with that idiot 442 GAYLORD GUTTERBORN URCHIN, it doesn’t even hurt anymore. Because I see him as a lunatic who can’t differentiate between his backside and his elbow.
Wetin concern me with how a person choses to live his life? That is his choice!
You choose your religion. It’s your God given right.
However, let me say this. If you are a Christian who sees the bible as the WORD OF GOD that it truly is, then you can’t ignore 1 Corinthians 6:9.
That is God’s word. If you have a problem with it, please direct your query heavenwards. Feel free to question the Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, on this issue, since you disagree with him.
Got you brother
Dr Banks and others.
I like Nigerian football and love analysing it using a similar tool accountants use called balance sheet.
In each balance sheet, there is a column for assets and one for liabilities. The sum total of the two gives a picture as to whether we are succeeding financially or whether we are failing.
I agree with you all that the sum total of Finidi’s reign added up to failure hence he deserves his fate. I can’t stress it enough that we are all on the same page regarding this conclusion. However, what you all want me to believe is that Finidi’s reign did not produce any items for the ‘assets’ column. That is wrong and even raw data doesn’t bear this our.
Using this balance sheet tool, let’s look at goals difference under Finidi.
Assets: 2 goals
Liabilities: 3 goals against
Sum total: -1 (failure)
Dr Banks, I agree with you that Finidi failed overall. However, I CHOOSE to remain grateful for the good feelings those goals brought me at the time. That is my perogative.
Let’s look at points balance sheet:
Points Gathered: 1
Points Lost: – 5
Sum Total out of 6: – 5 (failure)
No matter how you slice it or how you might want to sugar coat it, Finidi failed. Again, I thoroughly enjoyed that game against South Africa and the sequence of play for the goal against Benin. Again, my choice. But it doesn’t deflect from the fact that Finidi failed.
I innocently just chose to eke out as much enjoyment and good memories as I can under such a deplorable situation that the NFF condemned us to. I never endorsed Finidi or any local coach prior to his appointment because I felt they lacked the expertise for the immediate tasks on hand.
But after the NFF employed Finidi, I reluctantly gave him my blessings and genuinely hoped he would prove us all wrong. Having watched the two games he presided over, I can tell you that there were “assets” and there were “liabilities”. But ultimately the sum total was failure.
The fact I referenced the assets and thanked Finidi for these doesn’t mean it was “success”.
Since the boring, defensive but successful brand of football Peseiro employed in the Afcon, I was thoroughly excited to see the Super Eagles return to a more attractive attacking style. Again, it was unsuccessful results-wise but, to be honest, I think the Super Eagles are way too prestigious to be playing defensive against Guinea Bissau, South Africa and even Ivory Coast. The way the Super Eagles played in the Afcon left a bitter taste in my mouth. However, I am immensely grateful to Peseiro for the ‘success’ brought about by the ‘liability’ of boring defensive football.
I thank Finidi for giving me faith in our attacking midfield after Finidi and Onyeka were overused in the more defensive aspects. I thank Finidi for the assist by Chukwueze against Benin. That is the sort of performance I want Chukwueze to produce consistently. Did you see how Chukwueze was rallying the fans in Uyo? He was clearly enjoying himself after one delicious 1-2 manuovre almost led to a beautiful goal.
The Super Eagles is too prestigious a brand to be playing pack-the-bus defensive football in Africa. So, although he failed woefully, I applaud Finidi and thank him for at least trying position us as the attacking force that we really should be.
Can you imagine? In the Afcon we were averaging 30% possession to fellow African countries. WHAT IS THAT NONSENSE. Again, the end justified the means and I thank Peseiro.
But, if Ivory Coast can win the Afcon with an offensive brand of football, so can Nigeria!
Disclaimer: Nobody has to agree with anything I just wrote above. Consider this contribution as purely subjective opinion which may not stand up to scrutiny.
Thanks.
This is the deo I use to like, giving a balanced perspective like this will endear you to all bro.
Please don’t ever go back to yesterday deo no matter the provocation my brother, I nearly believed that someone else was using your username yesterday lol
Dr Banks,
You have been prodding me for a while but I chose to overlook. But, suggesting I collected bribe from the NFF to promote local coaches was a blow way way below the belt.
Dr Banks, you come on too strong and you really hurt my feelings almost to the point of tears.
Anyway, look after yourself.
Thanks.
I am sorry about that, it’s all because of our love for our dear country Nigeria and our beloved Super Eagles.
You know, Super Eagles is the only thing that makes us proud as Nigerians in diaspora. We wear our jersey proudly to work when they are doing well and your hear the colleagues and patient ask………oh so you’re a Nigerian (I am fair skinned so they hardly know) and I will answer YES with so much pride.
That’s why I am so pained when I read your comments praising Finidi who nearly buried our chances of showing up in America / Mexico / Canada to entertain the World and fill our hearts with much desired joy and proud moments.
Finito nearly Finished SE bro, I was a good fan of his during his playing days but he failed as a coach of SE and no amount of sugarcoating can sweeten this.
SE is simply bigger than any of the available indigenous coaches at the moment. All of them do not have the emotional intelligence to handle these players ego on one hand, and the useless NFF on the other hand. The Eguaveon, Siasia, Oliseh, Amokachi, Amunike failed with senior teams simply because they couldn’t command the respect of these players and NFF at the same time.
These coaches never garnered enough experience before venturing into SE coaching, compared to Amodu Shaibu who have won FA cup and CAF Winners cup with a small BCC lions, he even coached Orlando Pirates in South Africa before his success of qualifying SE to WC in 2002 and 2010.
Keshi too had sojourned through Togo which he qualified them for 2006 WC, he failed to lead them to the WC proper also due to his inexperience in man-management that lead to his fallout with Emmanuel Adebayo that lead to his sack. He learnt his lessons and managed Mali with Fredrick Kanoute in the team before becoming ready for the task at Super Eagles and succeeded gloriously
So for now, only a decent Foreign coach with some pedigree can save us from the position we found ourself at the moment
Thanks Dr Banks. You are blessed and highly favoured.
Same here @Dr Bank, I gat read much of @deo banter and type up before I believe he was really the one, that spirit that invaded @deo yesterday is a bad one and I rebuke it henceforth IJN loll, ahhh I pity who wasn’t online or didn’t have data yesterday ooo, bcos it was fun and at the same time unnecessary, but kudos to u@dr bank for been the big man here and allow peace to reign again and also @deo for letting it all out. Sometimes making peace doesn’t mean you are wrong.
Deo – A much easier and therefore better read taken in the context of the sensible disclaimer attached – opinions are like hands, we all have them and are also entitled to them.
We can agree to disagree like the civilised grown-ups that we are- I disagree with a lot of what you just said and will never see the sense in attributing any credit to Finidi for anything Nwabali did – Nwabali’s attributes as a goalkeeper were established long before Finidi came on the scene and his previous coaches will not thank you for attributing the results of their various influences on Nwabali to a guy who cannot even really be said to have actually coached him at all – Finidi just happened to be in charge while Nwabali was representing Nigeria a few times, at no point has he been Nwabali’s substantive coach in any shape or form to be said to be the one who has trained any attributes into him – remember also that Finidi was even famously quoted as saying that tactics and coaching do not matter in football or something along those lines – and neither will I ever agree that Onuachu can be described as a person with any kind of aerial prowess, not in this life anyway but again your opinion is completely divergent from mine in that respect, ultimately, my point is we all have opinions on this game that we love so much and should be able to respectfully disagree without resorting and descending into raining insults and curses one on the other – It is when one person starts that another responds in kind – having said all that I come in peace and peace to all who want it.
very wise and good of you mr Fourfrotwo Nigreia guyman lolz – efry 1 must be cool, sofly sofly like yuh sir and gently gently, not be like nigriea agberos like kel and chima d michaesl and other triblastics lolz
Mr 442,
I rated Nwabili’s performance against South Africa and Benin where the brand of football played allowed Nwabili to shine.
It was not my intention to suggest that Finidi helped Nwabili acquire and developed his skills. No, that wasn’t what I meant.
Nwabili saw a lot of the ball in those games which I can only attribute to Finidi’s instructions. So, I thank Finidi for the team’s pattern of play which further reinforced Nwabili’s reputation as a keeper-sweeper.
Hopefully this explanation would help clear up any misunderstanding.
Again, I never said Finidi made Nwabili the goalkeeper he is. Rather, I tried to say that the way the Super Eagles played under Finidi further underscored Nwabili’s reputation as a Keeper-Sweeper.
Stay blessed, bro.
And you too deo – stay blessed.
Peace bro!
Dear Mr 442,
Can I please ask you to go and watch the first half of Nigeria vs South Africa particularly and maybe, just maybe, you will see what i mean by saying Finidi enhanced Nwabali’s attributes as a goalkeeper-sweeper.
In that game, you will see Nwabili leaving the 18 yard box and slotting in between Bassey and Ajayi to exchange passes and launch long balls. This worked because – to me (you don’t have to agree) – it provided additional passing options and helped to launch route-one balls which Onuachu almost latched on to, twice. Had Onuachu possessed the sort of pace of Musa in his hey days of Osimhen, those long balls launched by Nwabili after exchanging passes with Bassey and Ajayi could have been more problematic to South Africa. In fact, against South Africa, Moffi successfully latched on one of those long balls but his follow-through pass left a lot to be desired.
Either under Peseiro or Finidi, Nwabali showed remarkable calm and composure with ball to feet which gives me peace of mind and translates to competence. Also, I can escape the fact that Nwabali was playing to instructions from Peseiro and Finidi, hence I allocate a share of praise for those neat touches from Nwabili to Finidi when he was coach.
Mr 442, this season, something like 65% of goals scored by Onuachu in Turkey came from headers. When he was in Belgium, he scored very many headers which for me speaks to his aerial prowess. Now, Mr 442, if to you, scoring headers in Belgium and Turkey doesn’t translate to aerial prowess, I have to respect your opinion – each to their own.
As mentioned in a prior post, I think Finidi’s tenure had entries that can be labelled “Assets” and entries that can be labelled “liabilities”. The Sum Total for Finidi equals failure because the liabilities far outweigh the assets which are quite meagre.
But, I will never forget the “assets” however meagre. The 1-2 by Chukwueze, the goals from attacking midfield, the pre-assist from Tanimu against Benin that took out 3 players, the calmness of Nwabili on the ball, the attempt to play open, vibrant and attractive football, taking the lead against Benin and equalising speedily against South Africa, c
Chukwueze having fun and rallying the fans in Uyo. All these are assets I will cherish all my days and will forever be grateful to Finidi for those wonderful memories. Shame they were not enough for the points we needed but I am well within my rights to hold dear what I choose to.
Take care of yourself,sir.
What is this foul, vile, nauseating smell I’m perceiving here?
Aaah, it’s the SEWER RAT 442 again! He has once again emerged from his backed up sewage filled rat hole. No wonder the whole place is smelling. And when he opens his rotten teeth? Yeparipa, teeth that have not experienced toothpaste in decades?
Please janitors, come and clear this mess away from our presence.
Oloshi, how can there be peace for a troublemaker like you? You destroyed your own peace by spitefully seeking to destroy the peace of others. Hypocritical bastard. The most useless, daft person in the forum by far.
