According to reports, the Nigeria African Cup of
Nations revelation Mba, has finally completed a move to CA Bastia. It could be
recalled that he agreed to join the French side earlier in September 2013 but
the move was called off by his club Warrri Wolves last minute due to
unpalatable contract terms.
For many who watched the African Cup of
Nations, you will agree that the player in question is a top class player owing
to his performance especially in the finals against Burkina Faso where he
became the hero.
Shortly after the tourney, clubs from all around
Europe came calling for his signature but some reasons he did not make any move
and having to perch with his Nigerian club, Warri Wolves after a tussle with
Rangers International to ascertain his legitimate employer.
Now that Mba has moved to Europe, the question is
not whether Mba would have playing time but whether he made the right moved. Is
Bastia the right club for a player who wants to keep his place in the Super
Eagles or sustain him in the ''limelight'' and keep him the minds of football fans
around the world and Nigerians?
CA Bastia is a French Ligue 2 club currently sitting
on 20th position with 9 points from 18 matches.
On the other hand, having sealed a move to
France, the 25 year old will not be a part of the squad that will prosecute the
CHAN tournament in South Africa. The CHAN tournament is a competition for
African based players only.
How Nigerians and the world at large would have
loved to see Mba on display at the tourney come 11th January when
the Eagles will begin their campaign against Mali then Mozambique before
playing host South Africa in group A.
‘‘Fairwell’’ Sunday Mba.
