Not much was divulged to Sportinglife.ng about what transpired beyond this terse statement: ”I have tried to talk to him in the past two days to shut up. I will make sure we settle his demands.”
Indeed, the invited Eagles stars are expected in Singapore on October 9 from where they will be conducted through a recovery training in October after the long-haul trips from Europe where they plied their trade for the various clubs over the weekend.
