Obiora Nwankwo

I would say that 15's the limit. Therefore, Balo, Crisetig and Santon are academy products, but Alibec/Stevanovic/Benedetti who joined at 17/18 aren't.

yeah cafe i would say around 14-15 would be the max age. its important that most of their footballing skills are nurtured and cultivated by the club at a young age. no use having some 19 year old superstar come in to the team, play for a year, and then say that he's "from the academy"...

he was already older then 15 when he joined, i think he had his trial with barca first before joining us...

Apparently Obiora will continue with the first team.

yes great news indeed. the comparisons to cuchu are natural for obvious reasons, but his composure on the ball for such a young person is second to known. we are truly blessed with some great talent this year, and what a time for all the up and coming players to join our senior team. a fantastic vibe in the club, coupled with humble superstars that our young fellows can look up to, and of course rafa, who is well known to give someone a chance if he's worth it...

OK my bad, he was 16 and 19 days.... A bit past the limit then.

Hopefully, further signs that the Mascherano deal is now in tatters.

 

[Nero Indigo]

Amen to that!

 

[Suneet]

Depends where we spend the Mascherano money.

I personally find this guy overrated, mariga can fill in for DM much much better

 

[Stefan]

Mariga is 4/5 years older...

That's the point, Mariga can deliver much more quality... Seeing that we have a very good backup what's the point of keeping him here? He should have been loaned where he would be much more likely to get playing time right?

I think he came just in time to become club-trained if we keep him at the club until he is 21. Since he is staying in the first team, I am guessing that he did make it in time and that is why the club are hanging on to him...

how can it be if he signed for inter less than a year ago? lol

He spends another 2 season with the club and he qualifies.

don't get me wrong i have no intention of quarreling, but why the hell would inter keep him anyway? I mean Crisetig is way ahead of this guy in my opinion, and seeing we already have quite a number of DMs this guy is going to be used way worse than a bench warmer.

 

[Suneet]

Rafa, didnt take Crisiteg to the states and he took Obiora....... need I say more?

obiora is two years older than crisetig and age makes a very big difference when you're under 20, maybe crisetig will be better than obiora in two years but right now obiora is much better

as for why he is with the first team, it's because we have 5 players for two positions but one of them is muntari and the two others are injury prone motta and granddad stankovic, winning teams need depth and if mascherano doesn't come we still need a reliable back up for the back ups

 

[Stefan]

Most likely he will split his time with the main squad and primavera like krhin did last season.
