Super Eagles inform defender, Godfrey
Obabona has expressed anger against the
management and technical staff of
Premiership entertaining team, Arsenal for
inviting him for trial before offering
him a deal, frowning that such decision more
of less discredits him and the country at
large.
Speaking to Daily Sunsports at the Super
Eagles camp in Abuja, the Sunshine Stars FC
of Akure defender argued that he could not
see the rationale, why Barcelona should sign
midfield attacking sensation, Nermay da Silva
Santos, who was playing in the Brazilian
league without trial and Arsenal could not do
the same to him, describing his invitation for
trial as an embarrassment.
Asked what happened to his Arsenal deal the
Super Eagles defender angrily thundered: “I
don’t think anything happened because it is
high time some of these clubs started
respecting this country. Nigeria is a very big
football playing country. “I continue to
wonder why Barcelona should sign Nermay for
£50 million from a Brazilian club even before
Brazil won the Confederations Cup, only for
Arsenal management to tell me, who
participated in the team that won the Africa
Cup of Nations to come for trial.
I think it's time to show us some respect, speak your mind...
