QF2?

Another early am trip to Mascot on a Monday. 

monday morning? dam can't make it, good to see he's arriving finally. 

When does the NYL start? Would be a good opportunity for him to get game time before breaching the A-League

Is the here? Has he arrived? Did they allow him into the country??

My office is like 2 mins from the airport and I was at work at 6 this morning. I wish i had seen this earlier!

he's here! short interview

You'd have to imagine at least a month before he gets any a-league action

he seemed nice on the interview he did

So, if he's never represented Nigeria at any level, could he eligible for Australia if hes here for long enough?

What a champion!

Adeleke adeleke ale ale ale!

Football is my life, it’s something that gives me joy. I would even play even if they didn’t give me money.

 

So that's how we fit Ruka under the cap...

I like this strategy of signing young guys who have something to prove after being unable to bust through in Europe. I wonder if Popa is looking for people with ambition, but also not too proud to uproot halfway around the world to get some time on the pitch and fight for recognition.

I'm hoping he'll provide some good competition for that LB spot. He's saying all the right things at least.

Has been given #22

He would have to be a gun. Can't imagine Popa filling a visa spot with a bloke all the way from Nigeria just to provide competition for Left Back.

anyone have any info on how is going at training ???

Seyi played 60 minutes in the NYL defeat to Melbourne Heartless yesterday. 

He pulled up ok & trained with the main squad today.

Any word on how he played? Did Ruka play?

No, but the important thing is getting Seyi's fitness levels up to speed atm.

Seyi & Marty Lo were the only senior squad members to play.

Ruka is pretty fit & could play some minutes in the Wellington or Perth games in coming weeks

Will need him to. Assuming the boys land Monday, then gotta fly out Thursday!

Then Perth the week after.... Nuts

Squad have to be at the airport @ 4am on Wednesday to fly to Wellington.

No rest for the wicked!

Wtfffffff.... Hoping and praying they go to Wellington buzzing!!!!!

Many of the ACL travelling squad will be given a well deserved rest, for the Wellington & or Perth games.

If he doesn't play in the trail against Fiji U21's next Tuesday, I'd say he'd be a chance of game time in Wellington.

I would expect Alessi, Fofanah, Sotorio & Ruka to definately gets some game time in coming weeks.

Spoke to Adeleke and Ruka on Saturday, both said they expected to get there first game against Wellington.

Castelen was there too (at the pre match park thing), all nice guys, chatting and getting pics with the kids.

Unfortunately a lot of ppl didn't know who there were so it was a little uncomfortable for them at times.. :-)

I met him at training yesterday... I thought a wave would suffice but he patted me on the back. Shirt has since been destroyed

Club legend in the making? I've staked my reputation on it.
