Osimhen has played against 5 of the Seven Sisters this season:
He has 1 goal contribution (1 assist vs Inter).
He has missed Atalanta twice.

Abraham has played against 5 of the Seven Sisters this season:
He has 8 goal contributions (1 goal vs Milan, 1 assist vs Napoli, 1 goal vs Juventus, 2 goals vs Lazio, 3 goals vs Atalanta)

So Abraham has scored or assisted against all of them except Inter, who he is yet to play against.

Levels, brother.

The fact that Ike has been a former goalkeeper , who at the height of his career was better than spartan rotterndam goalkeeper coaches and has access to materials for institutions as his counterparts in Europe,puts him in a constructively better position to teach him

What was the height of his career in obscure clubs and league in Switzerland and Turkey.

What is the experential competence he has gained from coaching in the top leagues and clubs with outstanding facilities in Europe ❓❓

Did Ike ever reach the level of a 22 year old Maduka has already attained at his very young age.

So you want to compare Shoronmu that was born in Lagos to someone like Maduka that was born in Dusseldorf and won't have issues with work permit in many countries.
I suppose Maduka was better than Enyeama because at 22 Enyeama was still with Enyimba.
Stop being bias with some of your analysis, and also Maduka hasn't achieved anything.

Many will not like to consider these facts.

I have said before Victor O has a determination and rage that I've not seen in any player,he is relentless in his pursuit has speed and aerial ability.

On the other hand Tega has outstanding technical ability, skill and football intelligence as well as speed. We dont always associate speed with Tega because he brings so much more.

Who is faster is open to debate, Aggression is definitely with Victor O .

You are being blatantly biased.

Where you were born and your life circumstances has no bearing on the situation. It's a question of opportunity some have it some don't. And some don't make use of the opportunities they get.

If Ike Shorunmu was born in Germany how do we know he would not have turned out as a low life drug addict and never have any desire for football.

You can not make projections on life it's not that simple.

Where you are born can also play an important role in your outcome. You can't compare someone born in Lagos with limited/poor training facilities and with likelihood of having work permit issues/quota issues if signed by a European club because he is not homegrown with someone born in Germany with access to better training facilities.

Such factors can hamper someone's life/career regardless of their talent and you are being dishonest if you think it doesn't.

Someone like Nketiah despite being a crappy footballer at Arsenal (not more talented than Nwakali) is still stuck at Arsenal at 23 while Nwakali had to struggle with work permit issues in the same club.

Asides England, I don't know of any other European country that conditions your work permit on the number of National team games you have played as a non EU citizen. I think those EPL rules were even removed last year post COVID.

You may have a point, but being born in Nigeria doesn't necessarily make you an automatic victim of circumstance. Do away with that mentality. You could be limiting yourself if you start thinking like that.

Some countries like Russia have quotas as well.

I know being born in Nigeria doesn't make one victim of circumstance but was just responding to Komekn's earlier comment.

Even South Americans and players from North America face similar issues in European football.

That was the same thing they said with Bayern.

It was said that this was Bayern's easiest possible draw.

Look how it ended.

Bayern has been scarier in UCL these past few years than Liverpool have been. If Bayern got knocked out, why do you conclude so easily that Liverpool will easily get past them? Does Bayern have two heads? Lol.

You simply have no idea about what you are talking and about. Sorry to say you are HIGHLY MISINFORMED and COMPLETELY without knowledge.

Every society has its challenges ,it's pros and cons.

How many black players have played with exceptional quality. But how many are Managers of clubs in the UK.

Before their retirement boots have got time to dry out , Frank Lampard, Rooney, Gerrard are already Managers in the EPL and Championship.

You have no Idea of the depth of institutional and endemic racism in football at all levels. Before you make it , you have multiple hurdles to overcome.

Some unable to deal with the mental strain of exclusion by racial discrimination as be well as the abuse . Have fallen out if football altogether even some have even committed suicide.

It's not always plain sailing.

Do you know how many boys get released by football clubs every season. Eberechi Eze was released by about 7/8 clubs before he made it at QPR.

Nwakali is a "Waste Man" Arsenal discovered very early that he was " bad market" never bothered applying for a work permit.

They thought they could get some of their investment back. Loaned him out to multiple clubs without success over 4 years in the end they let him go to Porto B who did not want him either. Luckily Huesca took him on and gave him a low level contract.

For your information both Eze and Ovie were released by Arsenal but look at them now. Eddie refused to renew his contract wanted by multiple EPL clubs.

Who wants Nwakali ❓❓❓

You are talking balderdash Eddie is a million miles away from Nwakali not on the same level at all .

It's better to be stuck at Arsenal in the EPL with the club offering you a contract renewal. Than a nobody in the Segunda division with your club terminating your contract well before the season has ended. Club tried to offload him illegally they were desperate to get rid of him.

Comparing Eddie with Nwakali is like light and darkness.

I guess facing racism for black players born and trained in England is an obstacle but unable to get work permit for African players in England to due strict UK policy is not an obstacle.

Continue deceiving yourself, maybe you can tell me how many young African players got signed to EPL clubs from Africa and made it to their first team without being established internationals.

Nketiah also is a useless footballer and if he had been born in Ghana will be with Accra Hearts of Oak

I think the only thing Osimhen needs to be clear of Tammy is the technicality. At the moment, Tammy trumps Victor in that aspect and that is what gives him the edge. There's only so much speed and aggression can do for you (and I think Victor has more speed). A highly technical player will make up for that deficit with cerebral play.

Komekn and some others van argue it how much they like, but the fact remain that a lot of these European players are quite privileged to be born in countries where the system work and they have little problem with navigating through their career... Problem is that some of them don't have the talents for it... And there's this bias European teams are known to exhibit.. Take Man Utd for example..They have slabhead Maguire who is an absolute joke of a player.. But he gets to starts every game ahead of somebody like Eric Bailey..He was even made captain ahead of somebody like De Gea...Is Maguire worth the money and title he got at Man Utd? definitely not..but he has the privilege..
Fact is, fingers aren't equal...
