    Some Pearse-ing wit on show here, but I do think we need a serious proclamation of commitment now from Obafemi.

    If Nigeria came calling, they might be difficult to turn down. They are looking forward to a World Cup this summer, after all.

    Tricky one on this lad. The closest comparison I can think of is Olamide Shodipo who was born to Nigerian parents in Ireland and moved to England. I think Shodipo verified his commitment to us stating that he still has family and close ties to Ireland. I'm not sure if the same ties exist for Obafemi.

    This article is fairly thin. An article for the sake of it.

    Would be a shame to lose him but hope he makes a career for himself whether it be with Nigeria or ourselves.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that article is as credible as an email from a long lost Nigerian uncle who wants to share his lottery winnings with you.

    I would be surprised if he makes their squad, they seem to have 6 or 7 strikers already who at the moment ae ahead of him.

    I stand corrected. One day the true story of Constant the eradication enabler, will be told.

    Man I’d love to have a long lost uncle or some prince who trusted me to look after their financial affairs and handsomely rewarded me for my services. But typical of my luck, I don’t...

    there's a lot of mentions of him on the Team Nigeria UK twitter page over the last few days: https://twitter.com/Team_NigeriaUK
    Seems the game mentioned in the allnigeriasoccer page was when he was 14, and he's played for Ireland since then:

    FWIW there's no mention of him on the FAI's social media, and he changed his twitter profile pic from his Irish jersey to him in his Southampton jersey since he made his debut
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    Obviously you'd hope he would stay with us without any need for us to do anything. But would be nice if FAI or even better the management team reaching out to say we are monitoring your progress closely. I think a short phone call with Keane or O'Neill would do wonders for his confidence -- would just make me rest easier should the Nigerians come in with an approach.

    Despite the Brugha there isn't much we can do here. We Mellows well face it. He'll have a Stack of offers. We Kent do a thing to stop that. The Sands of time will slip away and things could well go South for us

    I've Breen thinking the same. But we do have to Collins some replacements for what we have. We're in a Constance state of flux - hyperBoland aside

    I went out for a pint earlier. I was sitting there over McGuinness thinking the same. Not sure if a change in Tone could save things with Obafemi, Orr if it's too late. We'll be Kickham ourselves if we miss out.

    In all seriousness though. I know we're all Larkin about here but he could be an important players for us.
