The College Dropout Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yes! How many of our youth products have gone to a WC in recent years? Depends what you mean by recent. If the normal definition - none. 10 years? 20 years? Around 30 and I can think of a decent number of names. By decent I mean 2 more. Troisi is a Socceroo, Tim Krul. Milner was 18 when he signed for us (not really a youth player). Other than that, Pattison was in the Provisional Squad for 2010. Did Troisi play in a WC? Was he in a squad? Tim Krul really barely counts. He didn't come through the academy. He spent a single year there. I'm proud of him too tbh. James Milner was never a part of the youth set-up. Shola Ameobi is the only Newcastle player in over 20 years (that I can think of) to have properly come through our Youth Academy and go on to a World Cup finals.

KaKa Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 One of the nicer kits we've had. Why defile it with that name?! Should any Nigerian see you wearing that name on your back, they'll definitely slap your face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Shola splits opinion amongst Nigerians too, I know some that are absolutely mortified at his inclusion in the WC and others that think he might bring something else to the table.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Did anyone watch the game? Aye. I mean you don't expect much from a nation taking Shola to the WC but Nigeria looked shocking It was disgusting. You would think Shola would never see the pitch over Emenike/Nwofor after that, but Keshi seems to have a sexual fetish for rubbish players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
