What is the point of this your argument?

You use 'We' when talking about the Super Eagles, but how many of their games have you gone for, even when it's in your backyard?

Is fandom by buying tickets and going to games? Someone is supporting a team from Nigeria, and you are asking if he has season tickets, does he live in England? How will he have season tickets?

The way you try to demean people sometimes, in your quest for whatever, is very disgusting.

He has as much right as anyone else to use WE for a team he supports. If Liverpool comes down to Nigeria and he has an opportunity to watch them, you think he won't? You think people in Nigeria that buy these club jerseys and spend their money to watch the games of these clubs do not have the right to use WE, when referring to clubs they support? Don't clubs make money from TV rights? Who do you think pays for these rights? Fans with season tickets?


What exactly are you getting at, by trying to ridicule his use of the term?

His comment really surprised me.

Maybe he can help me get a UK Visa so I can visit Anfield grin .
Seems like he has developed a penchant for showing off.. like he did with Chriskels the other day .

una go just come Buhari internet, dey give us lines like say na through window we dey watch ball.

Osimhen, poacher? Make we forget all those through balls e dey give Lille players? Or the two assists he recorded in one game? Please, we should be lenient in assessments. Osimhen isn't just a poacher and he does more than just scoring.

First of all, Osimhen had no game where he recorded two assists, all his 4 assists are spread over 4 games.
Being a poacher doesn't mean you shouldn't have assists, it means you pass to your teammates.
Also being a poacher is not a bad thing, especially for young strikers. In fact all strikers start as poachers before advancing to more complete forwards.

Take nothing from Osimhen, he is the best striker in his age group, way better than Haaland, but all this opinions arose when someone compared him to Firmino.

It's okay to applaud our players but don't overrate them.

grin oga it remains a bad analogy, it took u several hours to respond to my post thinking of what u right still u came up with nothing

So u expected a rohr to give osimhen a chance in d super eagles set up when he's still finding his feet in his career path @ chaleroi over already established players in super eagles set up with d likes of ighalo,nacho and co, .I maintain my stand when ighalo was playing for d national team,osimhen was not even in d picture let alone of comparing both

I could remember on dis thread den when we compare ighalo and nacho.....osimhen was never in d pictureI was in Iggy camp wyle some where in nachos camp even though both strikers where misfiring den smiley...so in a nutshell.. Ighalo retired,osimhen took over cool

It took me several hours to reply to your post because I had other things to do.... And u didn't reply my question on Taiye Taiwo because u had nothing to say,so the time thing isn't relevant..

Come o,did u just say Ighalo was an established player in the national team? We all know why Ighalo was recalled to the super eagles in the first place.... Rohr already invited Osimhen when he was at Wolfsburg,so he definitely had him in mind..

Any other coach could have tried Osimhen after Ighalo and Iheanacho were misfiring.. but Rohr didn't... Even Ighalo himself has repeatedly thanked Rohr for keeping faith with him..

Sometimes,it's not about the player's performance but the coach's preference..

Following up from last week, China Okoroji bagged two assists today for Regensburg in their 3-0 home win vs 5th place Darmstadt 98. Both from corners kicks.

Lad now stands on 1 goal and 5 assists in 30 Bundesliga.2 games.


TheSuperNerd:
In Bundesliga 2 earlier today, Felix Agu played 90mins for Osnabruck while Chima Okoroji played 74 mins for Regensburg.

Game ended 2-2 between both sides with Osnabruck at home.

Felix Agu is primarily a fullback, LB/RB and rightfooted but played Right wing today.

Chima Okoroji is a left footed LB and played LB.

Agu has 6 assists from 23 bundesliga.2 games.


Okoroji has 1 goal, 3 assists from 29 bundesliga.2 games.

They are very different kind of strikers is my point, you hinted at the firmino trait that makes Osimhen one of the most sort after strikers and the first screenshot clearly shows that Osimhen doesn't just hang around the last defender but also tries to the ball in Midfield

That's not what I want you to notice. You claimed Firmino is all pass and no scoring and I showed you the heat map to see where Firmino gets majority of the ball compared to Osimhen.

Firmino almost never enters the box, except this season, while Osimhen is always in the box.

Please I think you mistake Felix Agu For Chima Okoroji.

Felix is still on 6 assists and will play again Sunday.

Okoroji's two assists today just got him up to Five assists for the league season in addition to his 1 goal.

As for Zaidu Sanusi being an upgrade on Collins, I don't know. Lad is fast and good going forward but has problems defending. He is a good ball crosser and create chances but his primary duty which is defending, he's not so great at it. Perhaps he will improve with time.
Okoroji looks decent and a little more balanced to me than Zaidu and can grow into that upgrade but time will tell.

As for Felix Agu, he is the versatile one.


dymusty86:
C. Okoroji with 2 assists for Jahn Regensburg today making it 8 assists so far. Very good for a wing back. I think okoroji and sanusi are an upgrade on Collins

It won't be funny. If Victor doesn't move, it will be because he made that decision not to move or the interested clubs just didn't meet Lille's valuation of the lad.

Besides, my personal preference is for Osimhen to stay one more season at Lille before making the jump to an Elite side. But it's still okay if he leaves now for a bigger side than Lille with assurance of playing time and maybe European football too but that's second to what I personally prefer for the lad.

In the end, the decision is Victor's and knowing how focused a lad he is and how tough and super his mentality is, I know whatever decision he makes after he's done burying his dad will be great for him.

Most top teams that are rumoured to have expressed interest have top strikers that Osimhen might not start ahead of them including Napoli that seem to be closer than anyone with Mertens (If he doesn't move) and Millik

I would also prefer he stays one more season as he just arrived Lille and hasn't even played a full season yet. The best decision IMO is for him to stay

Iwobi one of the most forward thinking player in the world.

First of all, Noni will need a switch and before that happens, we need to be sure he wants to turn out for us.

Secondly, lad is still young. 18 in fact and has only less than 200 Eredivisie minutes under his belt. His time will come but he needs to break through at PSV too.

Furthermore, he is more of a left footed right winger who can also play as an AM and even though this lad is on our scouting database, truth is finding another winger is not exactly a priority but if we get assurance of such quality lads willing to play for us after they must have been contacted or have reached out themselves, then fine, moves will be made to begin their switch.

Also, what lad is doing now at 18 majorly for PSV youth, Iwobi did same at same age for Arsenal U-21 and U-23 scoring goals and taking up a few assists along the way. At age 19, Iwobi got his first EPL goal and scored again the following match day still at 19.


I've been following Madueke and have even given him some good mentions on this thread many pages back. Did it during preseason before 2019/2020 season began even. No doubt the lad got real talent and is a baller but compared to Iwobi, Noni is still a learner. Iwobi is on a far higher level right now compared to Madueke and even Ejaria and the lad are not mates so he cannot be on same level with Ejaria. He isn't even better than Eze and Eze is 21 (would be 22 by June 29).

Could he be better than Ebere in future considering they have a four years difference? Well, time will tell. He does have the talent to rise but right now, dude is not on the level of an Iwobi, Ejaria and even Eze. He needs to prove himself in the Eredivisie. He is 18 but his mates like Mohammed Ihattaren who is also 18 is already making strong marks on the Eredivisie.

I like Noni and also feels he got real talent but this is some serious overhype. Let's be guided.

I prefer him to Osimhen because his combination of pace, power and lethal finishing excites me more. I like all rounders but strikers with those 3 attributes get me hyped up for no reason...i.e Batistuta, etc.

I understand from inner sources that Osimhen to Napoli is very likely (if not already) done and dusted. Demanded assurance of a starting place put in his contract.
Napoli got a strong reference about Victor when they contacted Victor's former coach at Charleroi, Patrice Mazzu, and that further helps cements Victor's worth in the transfer game.

4million Euros annual salary excluding Bonuses.

Five years deal. 60million Euros transfer fee which easily makes him Nigeria's most expensive signing of all time.
(Truth is I see him breaking this again or any other transfer price a Nigerian could go for in future if all goes well, and I believe it will, for him at Naples when time comes to make the move to a true elite clubside).

This transfer to Napoli is my second preference for him this summer as I would have firstly preferred him staying one more season at Lille and going for an even higher price. But like I already said before, both choices are good enough. It's only that one is my first and the other my second in terms of preference. I wish Victor the very best in his continued walk up the ladder of club football.
Napoli will hopefully be a bigger step forward to the class of the Elite for Osimhen.
