Obi told: Get out of Toon quick

players like Martins & Luque are a luxury, they need to be playing in a side that can play to their advantages, not a side desperate to score goals to stay up.

 

On the contrary, I think its players like them who could save us from relegation. They are the ones who can still up their game a notch without too much effort, unlike the players most relegated sides have who work their nads off and give 110%, but are still not good enough.

 

i agree, they should be capable of turning on their game and getting the goals, but our current tactics are not suited to seeing either at their best...  obviously that thought is also a luxury at the moment ;)

I don't see why people are getting upset? those comments are fair enough... the signing of souness showed the ambitions of this club, the replacement roeder, salt in the wound. 

 

the problem with NUFC is that we think we can just chuck money at problems, we have pissed away so much money it is not funny, we have become a disgrace, an embarasement.

 

We are the footballing version of the NHS...

It amuses me that the comments about where Obi should be playing have come from the head of an organisation that couldn't even get the player's age right!  bluelaugh.gif

No use denying the facts - regardless of how Martins turns out(and the Jury is still well-out on that one), NUFC has become a Club to avoid for top players - look at Luque for example. He may be a sulker, or not really have his heart in it , but his treatment by Roeder has been appalling.

Also, the Nigerian guy was merely voicing what most people outside the North East already know.

Until the club is run professionally , with a LONG-TERM plan both on & off the field, the very best players will continue to avoid signing, or want to be away if they DO join.

All the indignant huffing & puffing by so-called Loyal Supporters is just ostrich stuff to be honest.

You ALL know what the answer is.....

I think its a disgrace that the head of any FA should make such comments :wullie:

Anyone find an e-mail addy for him ?

 

I don't know why, but when I read this post I imagined the head of the English FA criticising Real Madrid for not playing Beckham!

It's fair enough if you ask me

 

imo there's nothing wrong with his opinion, it's just that at this time he should keep it to himself.  We need Martins to be 100% committed, the last thing we need is someone whispering in his ear (or in this case shouting in the press), "Never mind that lot of losers, get the hell out of town while you still can".  I don't care what other people think, it's the effect on Martins that worries me.

Martins should change his nationality rather than be associated with a country which can't even qualify for the world cup ahead of Angola, a country with a population a tenth the size of Nigeria's. The Nigerian national team is ruining his international career with its constant underachievement, a team which is supposedly the best in Africa but has only qualified for 3 world cups, never getting past the first knockout stage and only won the African Cup of Nations twice in 25 attempts.

 

Ditch those losers Obi.

Dear Mr Akanni,

 

With due respect,trust and humanity,I write this message to you seeking your

father was the famous politician who stood firm against President Mugabes

idea of continuous fight in Democratic Republic of Congo and my father also

stood against the seizure of white owned farms and the distribution of it to

the blacks without Compesiation to the white owners.Before my father's

death, in his "WILL"he specifically drew my attention to this sum of

US$21,320Million,(TWENTY ONE MILLION,THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND

UNITED STATE DOLLAR)which he deposited in a safe box of a private security

company in South Shields, INFACT MY FATHER SAID IN HIS WILL AND QUOTE:-

I guess I will take the oppurtunity to introduce myself....probaly the only Nigerian Newcastle man on this forum. And just another man in grief over the state of affairs at the club, even from abroad.

 

To grasp the hilarity of this story..you need to know the state of Nigerian affairs...and journalism in the country. Do you realise that this guy is not even affiliated with the nigerian FA in any way....shame that skysports couldn't have done a quick research before introducing the whole country to a new NFA chairman. The thing that really annoys me is how quickly our fans turn on our players. I think Oba will find success here and the biggest danger for him is losing his place on the Super Eagles to players like Yakubu, Utaka, Odemwingie, and the other thousand or so Nigerian strikers plying their trade in Europe.

Oba does actually play like a 30 year old has-been...

 

Maybe the story about his age was bang on.

 

No wonder his last club never picked him.

The United boss broke off his preparations for Saturday's first visit to the Emirates Stadium to tell me today: "Who is this guy? I have never even heard of him.

 

"Like everyone else in football he is entitled to his opinions, but who wants to hear them? He should keep them to himself.

I don't think Martins came here to play. I think he came to sit, "injured", and get paid a lot of money. He is not the only person - indeed not even the only Nigerian - at this club that i suspect came here for that.

 

I doubt a 21 year old professional footballer is going to leave a club to sit in the treatment room, why not just stay in Milan!!

His comments are 100% spot on.

 

Martins Toon career will go exactly the same way as Jon Dahl Tomasson's, another bright young prospect brought here and expected to play as the main man up front when it just isn't his game.

 

Like Tomasson he'll go on to be a success somewhere else and pick up trophy's, yet we'll still plod on without a clue and win fuck all.
