Phube Posted 21 July 2017 Share Posted 21 July 2017 http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40673626?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_match_of_the_day&ns_source=facebook&ns_linkname=sport Considering half our match day squad might be involved every two years will be a great help. Especially if Nigeria ever do actually qualify! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 21 July 2017 Share Posted 21 July 2017 Didn't know this was now confirmed. Excellent news - I had reservations about us signing so many African players as we'd likely lose them for up to a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 21 July 2017 Share Posted 21 July 2017 This actually increases the worth of our African players too. Mahrez is now worth £600 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 21 July 2017 Share Posted 21 July 2017 http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-handed-africa-cup-224240 Hopefully this will be some FT relief from AFCON associated jokes and transfer target concerns!

funkyrobot Posted 21 July 2017 Share Posted 21 July 2017 Great news for Musa. He was missed greatly during Nigeria's unbeaten run during AFCON 17. He had to be mainly rested for the remainder of the season such was the impact of this fabulous time for his country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 21 July 2017 Share Posted 21 July 2017 Playing international football in Africa in July sounds hot to me! Haha * don't worry everyone there's cold parts and rainy parts in Africa in July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieakita Posted 21 July 2017 Share Posted 21 July 2017 Winning that Asia cup or whatever it is does qualify us for the AFCON but on even more of a positive note how often do we watch a summer football tournament and follow it beyond the first few days before we are due home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayofox Posted 21 July 2017 Share Posted 21 July 2017 Data from last season shows we should be the biggest beneficiaries from the tournament not being in Jan/Feb. Our African players played 9116 minutes last season (this includes Jeff), compared to West Ham's 5461 minutes, and Liverpool's 4702 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcsnow Posted 21 July 2017 Share Posted 21 July 2017 I'd be amazed if Musa, Mahrez, Slimani and even Ndidi are still here in 2019 though. The African phase seemed to be Ranieri influenced, even at Nantes so far he's made 2 signings both African. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
