If Ighalo returns to the SE,he will start ahead of Osimhen simply because Rohr prefers him.. it's not because he is better than Osimhen..


Ighalo is more of a poacher, Osimhen is an all round striker...


I have it the other way round.

Even apart from their ability, do you think it is wise we discard our long term investment (osimhen) because of the short one (ighalo) ?

The issue is not discard,nobody gets discarded.

The question is the most effective and capable striker for the SE in the hear and now. Not in the future so let the most suited or effective player for the gam play.

Age is not the issue, in this regard how old is Ronaldo.

And as regards the Osimhen and Ighalo debate, even Osimhen will tell you he is still understudying Ighalo. Ighalo has performed in the EPL. Topped the goal scorers log at AFCON, and has shown that he can even play at the highest level for a clubside like Manchester. Osimhen is just one level below that. When he signs for a bigger club and performs then we can have the debate again. For me I'm okay with both of them starting grin

Agreed without question.

Ofcos he is even though he will carry on in this joke. I like Iggy and have criticized him when he wasn't delivering and also showered encomiums on him for his heroics in the GWG between Post-Russia 2018 and Afcon 2019.

Iggy retired a legend and if he comes back, he will definitely play but that does not mean I won't call it as it is. Osimhen is a more complete forward than Iggy but Iggy has Osimhen's deepest respect and reverence.

Finidi - U17
Aigbogun - U20
Landan Bosso - U23/Home-based eagles(not sure).

If Bosso gets a job, then Pinnick needs to be jailed.
Aigbogun ain't coming back, he made moves though but his failure was too loud to be hushed

Yes I saw news carrying those Ndidi to Man utd links. Don't think it is feasible this summer though.

Finidi is the only bright spark. His work with PEC Zwolle U-19 gives us hope at least.

As for Ladan Bosso, to be honest, he is better than a Joseph Yobo at this time based on coaching experience and qualifications but I am still not so comfortable having him. May he prove me wrong if his appointment is made official.

It is the news of Aigbogun's likely appointment that got me almost fainting. But we will see the end of this shaa coz I hear some speculations about the minister not entirely agreeing with the Aigbogun appointment for the U-20s plus there are tales of multiple petitions against him on the table of the NFF but time will tell if that becomes Official or not. If it is made official in the affirmative for Paul, then that would make my fainting official. grin


can you please highlight Finidi's work in Holland

One of the major reasons of us not qualifying was due to administrative problems which Rohr has never experienced. We have also qualified and done well in multiple AFCONs to make a big deal about qualifying.
every SE coach have faced administrative problem, Rhor just decided to focus on the job at hand. Is the SE going on strike during afcon not part? Or giving him a stadium he said it's not good enough not an administrative problem? No dey make excuses for those coaches that failed us before. Sia1, Oliseh and Keshi messed up tactically and we paid for it with Afcon spot

I am just happy everyone is on the same side in regards to Aigbogun. After the reports yesterday, people have just been yabbing him since. I don’t think NFF will dare appoint him again but in Nigeria anything is possible lol

They are both all rounders.

Ighalo credit to him improved his game as he got older. There was a time where dude sucked really bad as a lone striker. He improved his hold up play and the rest is history.
He has always been good with the ball at his feet and in one on ones to a certain extent.

Its too far to compare when it comes to SE now. Haba.


For the return, i have this thought that Osimhen will start and Ighalo will come on.


Anything that makes Ighalo perform better, i hope that doesn't change the pendulum.


So, i think its a healthy one for the 9 role at the end of the day. Esp with Dessers not far off.

it will be ill advised for iggy to rescind his decision. he has done his bit for the team and is remembered as one of the finest ever we have exported to europe. he is 31 already and with the likes of dessers,maja,sadiq,okereke and a few others hanging by the corner it will be of no use bringing the old war horse back.

Napoli are ready to use 2019 Africa Cup of Nations-winning midfielder Adam Ounas as a makeweight in their bid to sign Lille goal poacher Victor Osimhen, according to reports.

Le 10 Sport making reference to Italian sports daily Tuttosport says Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has a good relationship with his Lille counterpart Gerard Lopez and the transfer of Osimhen could be completed for forty million euros.

In the hope of bringing down the striker's transfer fee, Napoli's Algeria national-teamer Ounas, who spent last season on loan at OGC Nice, could be moving in the opposite direction.

Osimhen put himself in the shop window following a breakout season in France that saw him score 18 goals and provide six assists for Lille in all competitions.

The 21-year-old has also been linked with English Premier League and La Liga clubs but Napoli are confident that they have stolen a march on their rivals for his services.

The former Sporting Chaleroi star joined Lille last August for a fee of twelve million euros.

According to a report from the Chronicle, Newcastle are now interested in signing Queens Park Rangers ace Eberechi Eze. And that will be a big blow to West Ham United’s hopes of landing the talented midfielder.

Claret and Hugh backed up those claims a couple of days ago.

And now the Chronicle are claiming that Steve Bruce wants to bring Eze to St James’ Park.

If Newcastle are genuinely interested in signing the QPR starlet, that will obviously represent a real problem for West Ham.


The Magpies are on the verge of being taken over by a mega-rich Saudi Arabian consortium. And if that goes through, as it is expected to do so, the Tyneside outfit will be a club with great ambition.

Eze might just find it very hard to turn down Newcastle, considering where they could be in two or three years time.

Incredibly talented
The 21-year-old is an attacking midfielder by trade, although he can also play out on either wing. He is exactly the type of player West Ham should be targeting.


The England under-21 international is powerful, energetic, dynamic and he has a real eye for goal.


Eze has racked up 12 goals and eight assists in 37 Championship outings for QPR .

In those outings, the 21-year-old has averaged 2.4 shots, 1.9 key passes and three dribbles per game (Who Scored).

The Sun claims that Eze could cost around £20 million. And that could end up being a real bargain.

Other news outlets have suggested recently that he could be picked up for even less than that, however.

And what a signing he would be for West Ham.

Newcastle’s reported interest in Eze, however, certain complicates matters for the east London club.
