“He's champing at the bit and his attitude has been fantastic in training. He wants to play. I'm looking forward to seeing him, and I've got loads of good players to choose from.

“I used to be one of four strikers when we played with two. Now we have six forwards and we play with three most of the time.

“There are the three who play the most but then you've got Rom, you've got Juan and you've got Alexis, so I've got a front six I can rotate,” he added.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?
