Thankfully we all saw this one coming with all the ITK info we got, so we've had plenty of time to rehearse the pronunciation of his name.

That's come from nowhere hasn't it, no hint from any ITK's. Never heard of him before so it's going to be interesting watching Nigeria in the World Cup.

Rowett is part of the transfer team. Identified by Rowett or identified by Scholes, Cartwright & Coates Jnr, sanctioned by Rowett then? I presume so.

Great work in sealing this one before the World Cup. He might not play much part but itās better to be safe than sorry and get him tied up beforehand if they rate him. He does sound very Badou like in his description. Hope to see him playing some part for Nigeria to get a closer look.

Not the signing that I was hoping for, if heās another Imbula then it has to be the end for Cartwright and co. I wonder how much input Rowett had? 5 years too? Still not learning our lessons on these transfer sagas, I hope he does well but I canāt hide how disappointed this signing makes me, I was hoping we had changed but it doesnāt look like it

He sounds like another Joe Allen. Or a Badou Ndiaye

The Nigerians think very highly of him and he looks nothing like Imbula in his playing style. He's a replacement for Badou, half the price, younger and with more goals in his locker. What's not to like. As first signings go would you rather have had James McClean?

Etebo looks like the only midfielder in the Nigerian ranks that can run, pass, and tackle in higher percentages. Mikel can pass, tackle [sometimes] but he canāt run; Wilfred Ndidi can pass run and tackle but his passing ability is still terrible while Onazi can tackle and pass a bit, but he canāt run for his life. This means Etebo must play in front of the defence ā with protection provided by Ndidi. Etebo, with his skill set, can escape the first press, which is the most important for the Croats and set Nigeria on the counter immediately.

Don't look at the official facebook comments then mate......we could sign peak Socrates and Ference Puskas and people would have a go.

Wowsers.
Didn't see that one coming.
Just like 100% of our resident ITKs.
The twonk ChrisKamarasPerm will be along in a minute telling us that Gary and the team told him ages ago.
Welcome Pete.

What if he's the new Ngolo Kante? Why not just see how he settles in first rather than looking for the negative?

Love it! It's like real life Champ Manager. I have a feeling it'll be a wacky old transfer window.

Heās an attacking midfielder/left winger from what I can see. Maybe more of a Choupo replacement??

Looks like a very decent signing - has a bit of quality on the ball and is industrious without it. Much needed legs in midfield too
