Alebiousu starting against Uganda.

The names I actually recognise are all on the bench. Looks like the second string being given the chance to impress.

Bassey, Oshimen, Chuckweuze normally play for them, all are starting today.  Looks like the left back and one of the midfielders also started their last game

It may well be a rotated team, but doesn't look completely second string

Nigerian fans seem impressed with him going forward but unsure about his defensive traits. Could see him as a starter soon enough

Does anyone know if his appearance today has triggered any extra fee?

Maybe, but maybe the saving grace is he was English when we signed him, so maybe they didn't bother including that clause

Or maybe they included it thinking it would never get activated…

Personally I think it would be negligent for a selling club not to include such a clause in every transfer deal, just in case

He did nothing wrong today playing as an orthodox right back. He still got forward on several occasions. If he gets left out for the next game the lad that replaces him must be a good ‘un.

I was impressed with the Nigeria outside left, Simon. A poor man’s Jeremy Doku.

Hope we didn't do what I often do on FM, and slap a big fat clause for an international cap to save me a bit of dosh knowing full well he will never get a cap for such a big country...before noticing he has a second nationality.

Might have added a few bob to his transfer fee, but one thing is for sure, he won't sign another contract for us due to the international appearance. Someone else will pay him more.

That was a given on the day he signed

The only players who sign more than one contract with Rovers anymore are those who come up through the academy, and that's because their first couple of pro deals cost the club no more than £2K/week
