When dey hide under he's more complete of a striker Dan haaland is what baffles me most

And d stat says odawise...so I don't get grin

D primary purpose of a striker is to score goals,every oda qualities d striker possess is secondary to me..I can neva agree to dt statement dt osimhen is a more complete striker Dan haaland.. Never

All players can't have d same style of play..if u like run d whole field from morning till night on top d pitch..ur product as a striker (goals) is what matters to me most

I repeat haaland and osimhen are wide apart grin

He has more goals and asssit than osimehn at a younger age and you’re saying osimehn is more complete. These guys are clearly PAID ASSOCIATE that’s why I just laugh at their comment

Do you know that Amuneke is Ejuke's agent? He also fought to be Nacho's agent few years ago. That alone has disqualified him from the SE job. We can't afford another Keshi at this moment in time. The best of them (Oliseh) was a disaster! Abeg, let Rohr rest.

He is resting naa... with a fine babe by his side. grin

As usual, some of you folks here succumb to the nonsense talks of trolls who don't know the game coz all they do is club banters and "my club player is better than your club player" gibberish.

How is saying Osimhen is the best striker in the Serie A today and is definitely one of the best Strikers in the world "squeezing him in"??

No please, I want you to really answer that.

Experts around Europe are confirming the Quality of Osimhen but you are here talking "squeezing in" as if we are lying about his quality.

And what do you mean by Haaland and Osimhen can't be in the same sentence?? What's that? Aren't both doing well in top 5 leagues?

Didn't Osimhen score as much goals as Lewandowski in all competitions last month?

Why do you think Osimhen has suddenly shot up to the top of most Serie A's analysts' ratings of Strikers despite that league still having Lautaro Martinez, Dzeko, Belotti and Immobile?? ​

Do you know even West Ham legend and Italian football pundit, Paolo Di Canio rates Osimhen above
Lukaku when it comes to Strikers who respond and fight back when the going gets tough? I will post his words soon enough.


So all this one you are talking is just fallacious. Osimhen and Haaland rightly stays in the same sentence today.

Besides Osimhen is the more complete striker while Haaland is simply the better finisher. I have said this before and time is proving me right.


So make una talk another thing abeg. grin


Whoever said haaland and osimhen should not b mentioned in d same sentence simply don't understand d game.

How it all began...

And all this talk and argument began just because I insisted Osimhen won't end up at Newcastle bcoz he belongs to the class of Strikers that the Elite clubs will seek out.

They wanted to push the narrative that Newcastle will lure him and because he is "African" that he would accept the money and leave ambition. Hahahahahahaha grin

But they will accept that Haaland or an Mbappe won't consider Newcastle no matter how much they offer.

They didn't like the idea of classing Osimhen with these lads. What are they thinking? That his mentality is not elite enough? Or that his quality is not elite enough?


Discussions here really reveal the mind of many here concerning our lads. And what I have seen in the minds of most is really not encouraging. But we march on.

To be better than haaland, you have to at least be the highest goal scorer at your league first. Osimehn na correct player sha

Exactly my thoughts. Like everyone else I desperately want a Nigerian player to be hailed and regarded as world class but it doesn't happen overnight. It's a process.

Osimhen has started well and looks focused. I'm optimistic he will achieve his potential but let's all slow down with the unnecessary comparisons and hype. He doesn't need all that hype and distraction.

In footballing terms Victor hasn't achieved anything major which I believe will soon change. Yes he's the most expensive African but remember once upon a time Denilson was the most expensive player in the world and we all know how the Brazilian's career panned out.

Let's just continue to support and pray for the best of our players.

Oasis001:
grin

Una no go allow Players blow fess, una go blow their trumpet pass Heaven. Folks ain't gonna learn on this Board.

Osimhen is a fine Player. He's still developing and we should hope he blow past his potentials. Comparing him to Haaland is a big NO, coz the latter is far better than him at the moment.

Haaland of all Strikers? If Haaland is a Nigerian, I am sure he won't be nicknamed Monster Machine but black panther or Nuclear Bomber.

Let's take it easy with our Lads. Iheanacho was once nicknamed hybrid of Messi and CR7, we know what's up today.

My statement on it



I was one of those who was screaming sack Rijkaard and give Barcelona to their youth team coach, Guardiola. That youth coach led the greatest team in club football history with respect to performance.

I hope u come to realise Some day that all that matter to amuneke is MONEY MONEY and not to win laurels

He is not the kind of coach the super eagles needs. I will prefer Finidi George over him in due time

It is because of money Amunike is training our local coaches free of charge.

It is because of money reports show Amunike did not collect money to Field players in the U17.

You need a better accusation.

You don't have a reason why you prefer Finidi. You just don't want Amunike. That is all.

Unfortunately, Amunike is the most equipped tactically at the moment, played part in discovering some of the best talents we have to show the world today. Has a history of working with the Nigerian coaching system.

But, you prefer Finidi. Na wa.

You guys are always quick to abandon the point.

TheSuperNerd took time to explain his point and to a huge extent I will agree with him.

Keep in mind I have been repping Haaland since his Salzburg days.

Haaland is a freak of nature. Sometimes I feel he was cloned in a lab. He does a lot of things to perfection. He runs at record speeds effortlessly. Finishes balls from impossible angles with ease.

However, the talk is about other attributes being brought to the table. Osimhen's work rate around the offensive area is brilliant. Also, his defending is crazy. That is why I believe Guardiola will want to fight for him.

These extra attributes will make some prefer Osimhen to Haaland.

It is just like when Pellegrini said he preferred Riquelme to Ronaldhino. That was due to attributes.

A striker main objective is to score and assist and haaland so far, has proven himself statistically. When you start mentioning inconsequential jargons like “workrate” etc in reference to strikers, you have already lost. Can you imagine someone saying that dirt kurt was overall better than messi because of his work rate Makes no sense. Osimehn is having a good season so far and he can surpass haaland in the future. But, for now he has to prove himself.
1) Top scorer at his league
2) 20 league goals and 30 goals in all competitions

Once he attains the aforementioned, we can have a debate. You guys need to stop glorifying attributes that are not the main aim of a player. This is the same nonsense that Rohr does with Moses Simon - (he defends for the team) like if his main objective as a winger is to defend

See your Foolish mouth. What’s the main objective of a striker? Let osimehn win the top scorer at his league before I can even engage in such conversation.
Iheanacho has 19 goals 5 in 35 games in 2021 for Leicester at Epl and I won’t even claim that he is better than haaland.

Giroud has better workrate than Kane in the end which do you as a coach prefer? The one who gives you a greater amount of goals all this nonsense about workrate and what not is just sentiments because at the end a striker is judged by one metric and that is the amount of goals he scores and I assure you no coach in the world will pick Osimhen over Haaland
