Bolton had yesterday officially released Austin Okocha.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bolton_wanderers/4983376.stm


The gifted Nigerian was allowed to go elsewhere.

Where is he heading to?

[b][/b]

Let us wait and see, and I hate to hear that he is leaving for Qatar, for God's sake he is not due for Qatar yet, Okocha is still hot.

Too bad, but I read it somewhere few weeks ago that Allardyce said he is ready to offer Okocha another contract!

He better offer him
for his own sake

he still got alot to offer and if hes leavin, def not qatar abeggggg

I also pray that he doesnt go to Qatar because we want to see more of his magic.

dont know much about soccer but is okocha still playing, dang isn't he like 60 yrs old

@blunubian



Guys,
if Okocha does not leave for Qatar, where else do you want him to go?

Will any Champion's league team put money on him?

Of course Allardyce said he would offer him a new contract - that is corporate talk If he didn't say that, then all the attention would have been on the speculation, which also means that it could possibly distract the other players. Not to mention, JJ could also have decided not to give his all.

As to where he will go, I am no football expert, but I doubt anywhere as good as Bolton. He will probably be in the EPL with another team for one more season. After that, he has a choice of the US (not much pay, but at least we get to hear of him ) or Qatar (vice-versa).

Regardless, his football days are numbered and we need to realize this and prepare for the day when he will no longer be playing. Painful, yes, but tis reality.

that's my 2 cents

Somehow I don't think he wants to move to Qatar. I think he prefers his kid to be raised in a predominantly english-speaking country. If I remember correctly that was one of the reasons he moved to Bolton in the first place.

They had better have a testimonial for him when he eventually retires. One more chance to see his bag of tricks. I will never forget his "go this way" dribble between two players against England in 94.

""Not only for what they brought to the club in terms of experience and quality, but also for what they helped us to achieve during their time here, Nobody will ever forget their contribution."


fu*cking oyibo people they are firing you and still using "kind words". Killing you softly

wateva does qatar mean

@ blue, me & ma friend hereread your comment and you cracked us up

he needs to retire finally abeg

zebudaya,

na so oyibo dey o. Case in point: back in 1999-2001, I was supposedly so good at work that my ogas openly called me the "company savior". I was also given awards and bonuses. But when things went bad, guess who was the first to go? Of course, I could go as far as thinking that being the only black man in a department of eight, chances are they let me go first as a result. But I don't want to think that way.

Bottomline, wherever you are, sleep like a cat - one eye closed, with your ears always moving around. Just as they can hire you at any minute, so they can fire you at any minute.

A word is enough for the wise

lol what do u want them to say ? F*Ck OFF!! WE USED N DUMPED U NOW GO?

if he was white thats what they say too

Atleast they don't tell the security man to pass him a letter

"oga, u get letter from OGA- take heart eh "

Business world eh

if you are firing me. fire me. dont smile. dont use kind words. What happened to you're fired!!!!!!!!!

It's just like being dumped by a chick, and she's saying stuff like "no one is ever going to love me like you did"

It is condescending. then you see her kissing somebody else oloshi pikin

lol, you know gals can never be straght, you have to sometimes make 'em feel bad before they come to thier REAL senses

Are we still talking about soccer and jay jay Okocha?

okocha would be fine, he was the highest paid player at psg when he left, and highest paid player when he came into bolton.

So lets talk about chicks girls gals, obirins, asawo's, strippers ,

their hips don't lie,,

what role can Jay Jay Okocha play successfully in nigeria


Like Shearer, Lineker and co

retirement is the next step, he should take all of the money he made and travel around the world,

This is what Okocha says :

"This is very sad for me because not until now did i realise i would be leaving but thats football. I do not hold grudges against the Manager or chairman because the club has to move on. "

J J is our hero we dont just talk to him like that he has tried his best for Nigeria and Bolton so what else.

THERE IS TIME FOR PLANTING AND THERE IS TIME FOR HARVESTING.

I am happy for his life.

Playing football at highest level for about 14 years is no joke.

Any time i remember his exploits in Premiership and his picture on the billboard in England, i am proud to be Nigerian.

The sad part of it is his Children, they are well settled in a private school in England and to leave for another place is not good for their education.

A good ambassador of our great Country.

Yeah Kola. True word

But there is always a time for everything. Maradona couldn't continue ever so nobody will ever.

Napoli/Sevilla could have hold on to Diego for long but they have to let him go.

Let Jay Jay enjoy his wealth in one cool place he decides to settle down.

My probs isn't with Bolton or whoever but with our own country.

How will JayJay be treated after hez retired? Will will be proud enuff to honour him?

bolaoni:

How will JayJay be treated after hez retired? Will will be proud enough to honour him?

The greatest honour is we give him chance to represent is from where he became super rich.

meaning?

Talking like a true Naijaerian

@BolaOni

You know there is 200,000 Okochas in Nigeria begging for Chance to play.

I was taken aback when my brother failed to be invited while his friends make it to play for Naija.

I just dey read my book jeje



Imagine Taribo confesses he used to live under the bridge in Lagos.

Who be your brother? which club did he make it to?

Have you forgotten there would have been Millions of Amando in Argentina too?

Or na Pele, Romario, Cantona, Zola, Zizou or whoever.

It doesn't matter. Okocha made it to the top so we still have to celebrate him even after he is retired.

Look at what has become of yekini, Oliseh and the rest, it was as if they never donned the shirt of our country.

While clubsides are honouring their players, look at what Fiorentina did to Batigol, we as a country cannot even
organise farewell matches talk less of remembering them a year in retirement!

Too Bad!

I wont mention my brother's name for obvious reason but his mates are Edith agoye, Gbenga okunowo, Eaglet goalkeeeper(@Meridian cup).

What do you want us to do for them?

Dont forget, we are a developing country with Abuja paying for everything our football house needs.

For a grade A match, Nigeria pay their player $8,000 per match as match bonus. $100 camp allowance etc

Even england started giving their players bonuses few years ago.

We don try i beg.

Is it how much we pay that matters?

How much do we make from this matches? Is there anybody that talks about that?

Oga when did we play $8,000 as match bonus?

Is it the one we read on paper that never gets to the players' hands?

Who are you fronting for sef? Sambawa abi Galadima

Thatz another thing. Who is the actor and who is the boss between those two Northerners? I don't know if Sambawa is right about his things or is it just me. Galadinma should have been the one to step down.
