Hakimi listed among FIFA world 11. Omo, it will be hard for anyone to dethrone him on the Caf award after what marocco achieved

Osibaba don score. Seria A and cappocanonierie loading

When is the African footballer of the year award?

chuks404:
the way you discuss football at times makes me wonder. Is lukaku osimhen?Seriously you are not making any point. There is no league in the world osimhen can't survive and even perform better.

For the sake of Nigeria football, I truly wish and hope it succeed

Starboytwo:
I’m surprised y’all think Osihmen will play 6-7 games and not score at least 1 goal. Honestly speaking I don’t see that happening, e.g Osihmen will score that goal weghort missed few minutes ago. Osihmen will score the one he missed against Barca. Osihmen will not miss that odegard sitter. Mehn, y’all still underestimate osihmen. Damn. You don’t know what you have? Geez.

I mean look at the types of goals he is scoring, imagine playing with better players and better service, damn. Una dey play ooo, for real.

I bet other African countries are low-key jealous we have him.

23 match 15 goals for Super Eagle
Fastest to 100

What sign are you looking for again.

Bro Lukaku won a Seria A and even performed better than Osimhen 3 seasons ago. Afterwards, he was signed by Chelsea and flopped by scoring only 8 goals. Up till today, he hasn’t recovered from that horrendous bad season at Chelsea and maybe his career is done.. my point is that, the grass isn’t green on the other side and if you’re loved and is a King in a city earning decent salary, Stay there for few seasons before leaving

Moffi move to Nice makes absolutely no sense at all whatsoever

This terem moffi goal drought could be a warning sign to Osimhen that it’s unnecessary transferring to another club so soon. It’s better his maximize his prime and become a Napoli legend before leaving instead of signing for another club and there’s no guarantee of performing

Starboytwo:
To be fair, Mikel is not really an exciting player like that to be winning APOTY. No goals or assist as a midfielder etc. Yaya scored 24 goals that season.

But make una no worry. Osimhen is here to win us 3 back to back to back APOTY.

So defensive midfielders, or defenders shouldn’t ever win that award because they’re not scoring goals?

charlesemeka85:
I did. Yes he missed 2 that I can recall but atleast he scored

Strikers do miss sitters so it’s no biggie

Very good goal from him but like I have said previously, Missing Sitters is one aspect of his game that he needs to improve tremendously. But, if he can keep missing sitters and scoring world class goals, I am content

jieta:
This is what i call maturity, from the onset you were all violent throwing tantrum here and there but you have to take a back seat and check things out and your opinion change. Wow! You are more matured than some people here who have been dragging ihenacho and nwakali for more than six years.

It will be hard defeating hakimi tho
Lique 1, World Cup Semi final….. Champions league will be the defining factor IMO

I just noticed that Osimhen is the highest goal scorer among all Africans playing at the big 3. If he wins Seria A and top scorer and Napoli has a good run at the CL, he will have a good shot at APOY. I have analyzed all of his contenders and was as neutral as possible

People are forgetting that if Bayern Munich wins the league and champions league, there’s Sadio mane, if man city wins the league and champions league, there’s mahrez, if Arsenal wins the league and World Cup, there’s Partey even salah has 21 goals in all competitions this season and if Liverpool wins champions league, there’s Salah. As for Moroccans, at least 1 or 2 of them are guaranteed a place in the top 3 for their historic performance at the World Cup. You can belittle it but forget that we were humbled by ordinary bad Ghana team.. Inclusion, if Osimhen see top 3 APOY this season sef, it’s a big W to him. This is how we were hyping certain players prior to Ghana game until we were humbled

Why is everyone in a haste for Osimhen to leave Napoli by the end of this season when he Is respected, loved and performing? If I was his advisors, I will tell him to win back to back Serbia A, become a Legend at Napoli before transferring elsewhere. You guys has to realize that some of these marquee teams are extremely impatient, and easily give up on players if they don’t perform immediately and such attitude can destabilize a player Confidence. At Napoli, he is enjoying his football, competing at the highest level and is also respected. Why move so soon?

Emmy450:
lol, osimhen actually scored against Ghana, but was rightfully ruled out for offside,.. the thing is as osimhen keeps improving and gains more success,the bitter ones on this thread keep finding new excuses to belittle the boy, I just can't rap my head round why such bitterness for your own national team player

Bro, don’t mind them. Some of them are just angry at something else and try to use Osimehn as a scapegoat. Let’s just support all our players constructively and wholeheartedly. That goal we scored in Abuja was offside tho

maidaboi:
then how did Mikel loose to Yaya Toure?

Let’s be honest, CaF don’t have a specific metrics that they use to calculate a winner and based on previous winners, there has been discrepancies. I don’t know if caf are using club or country performance to nominate a winner let’s just support Osimehn and hopes he gets nominated first

One thing that I have realized is that when you do a good job, you have open doors for others. Look at how genk immediately replaced Onuachu with Tolu. Fellas, where ever you find yourself, ensure to realize that you’re a representation of yourself, family and others considering how well you perform and strive to put in the best possible performance. When Napoli sell Osimehn, best believe they will be in a look out for another Nigerian

Personally, I really like Osimehn and believe that he has the qualities to become one of Nigeria greatest ever and a top African striker. But, my annoyance is towards his “yes men” they will try to insult you whenever a constructive criticism is shown towards him even though everyone else has been constructively criticized. I believe that based on his performance so far, he deserves enermous praise.. he has scored with his right foot, left foot, heading, World class goal the only remaining are over head and free kick

TheSuperNerd:
One will win the league as Top Scorer and MVP while the other will just win the league.

Also, he was one of their best. Not their BEST. Morocco is practically my next favorite national team. So let it rest.

He is a RB in what village are right backs being the top scorers? Strikers and defenders are measured differently. Anyway, the common denominator will be champions league and national team performance assuming both win their respective league

Emmy450:
it's getting annoying truth be told,. . I just don't know why people are just bitter about osimhen success like why!!!!

People aren’t bitter but “Ass licking yes men” get so defensive when we analyze logically and unemotional. You have to remove feelings and emotions when analyzing football if not you will feel like people are attacking certain players.. No one person has said that osimehn is a bad player or hasn’t been Good this season but any constructive criticism that people say is always deemed an attack to “yes men agent” worst people to surround yourself. If our players are as good as some of you guys claim, why couldn’t they beat or score against Ghana?

TheSuperNerd:
Hakimi was not Morocco's best player at the mundial. Not statistically and not even by eye test. That is on period.

He was ONE of their best players and their official best will be preferential. Hakimi, zyech, ambrabat or ounahi were their four best at the tournament. Also, he will most likely win Lique 1 (Farmers league) just like our own (Seria A) the common denominator between the 2 will be Champions league and national team performance.. the number position is still open for grab but for now, Hakimi will most likely be Nominated as top 3… if victor is nominated as top 3, that’s a Win for him because I believe that in the near future, he will win Apoy

elyte89:
😀😀😀😀 dis question tough but I don’t trust those caf guys, so anything can happen,

Not dt he worth d award more Dan osimhen but their bias judgement might come to play

They can purposely leave osimhen out of top 5 sef,just to justify deir position

This isn’t about any Caf guys because any logical thinking person will say that what Moroccans did was unimaginable and Hakimi was an integral part club/country. If it was easy why didn’t our players defeat Ordinary Ghana let alone Portugal.. the same Portugal that flogged us 4-0 was who Hakimi made impotent… anyway, you can deceive some people sometimes but not everyone all the time

TheSuperNerd:
Let me help you with this one Chris.

You know how well I follow Moroccan football and their national teams so I should know this for facts.

At the WC, Hakimi was good but he wasn't even Morocco's best player.

That belongs to either of Bonou, Ounahi or Amrabat if we are being honest. The majority of the world media even had more praises for Amrabat than any other Moroccan on the team and we all know he actually had arguably the biggest influence on Morocco's transition-based plays.

Now, a honest question... can Elyte89 tell us confidently that Sofyan Amrabat will win the APOTY ahead of a player who will end the season on 20+ league goals, a Serie A Title, an MVP award and a Top Scorer award??

And doing so as the first African to top score in Italy ever?? Amrabat of Fiorentina will bag APOTY ahead of a man who will win the title of champion in the same league he features in??

Elyte89 and others of this school of thought... come and answer honestly. 😁

Hakimi qualified marocco for the World Cup and immensely contributed to his country historic semi final appearance in addition to it, he will likely win an Lique 1 (farmers league) and is also an integral player. Let’s assume that victor wins Seria A (even out) what happened to him for his country? Why didn’t he qualify or score for his country when it mattered most? Vs Ghana in 180 Minutes My friend, you will have to be extremely biased not to believe that Hakimi doesn’t deserve an APOY. Honestly, if any super eagles player makes the top 3 sef, it’s a serious Blessing/progress

slimthugchimee2:
I just dey laugh

See shifting of goal post

They first started with osimhen is at Ligue1 apart from PSG everyteam in Ligue1 is subpar

Then to osimhen hasn't been worth the amount of money paid for him by napoli

Then it changed to Osimhen doesn't score against big teams

Now it's kvara is the only reason osimhen is scoring and Seria A is an easy league to score

When it mattered most against World class defenders like Amartey and the yeye Ghana defense. Where was our star men?? They couldn’t score in 180 minutes against Ghana (when it mattered) I am sorry but only rectify that result will that memory be forgiven.

Mujtahida:
Before Henry tore up the EPL he was a flop at Juventus. Bergkamp flopped at Milan but was a great success at Arsenal

Every league has their dark and light moments. Seria A in the 90’s was the absolute best league (indomie generation no sabi) whoever scored 15 league goals in Seria A in the 90’s was a King

Personally I think Osimehn will one day become an APOY and also be Nigeria all time top scorer. He just has to remain disciplined, work hard and remove yes men around him. Forget about talent, imagine if all SE players had this guy determination, passion, never say die attitude

quickberry:
Wack analysis. Thierry Henry tore up EPL, but couldn't replicate the same form for BARCA.😏 Van Nistelroy scored so many goals in the EPL, but flopped at Real Madrid.

Henry went to Barca when he was done but he still won a treble Abi 6 trophies. Van nisterooy wasn’t a Madrid flop… like I said, if you deceive me once shame on you but if you deceive me twice, Shame on me. I remember the sort of hype certain players were hyped on this platform prior to Yeye Ghana team only for them to be unable to score in 180 minutes against Ordinary Amartey

Also, why are people telling Osimehn to leave Napoli when he can stay longer and become an indispensable Legend. If he wins the league this year, he can strive to win 2 more before leaving while also competing for champions league… some of these big clubs like Madrid, utd are very impatient and if you don’t perform immediately they will embarrass you… enjoy yourself in Seria and pick up 2 or 3 titles before you japa

People mind are so corrupted that, they believe any questionable act on Seria A is a diss to OSimehn. First of all, osimehn isn’t the only player in Seria A. The league has been dead because of the low quality of football, Corruption, bribery, and politics affecting the game. This season alone, juventus were revoked by multiple points for “financial discrepancies” AKA (Fraud)…. Footballing wise, Lukaku tore up the league few years ago by winning all winnable awards. A year later, he flopped at Chelsea 8 goals in 34. Last season ademola Lookman scored only 6 goals all season in Epl, a year later he is the 2nd top scorer….

Mujtahida:
Such unselfish play for Kvara to gift that assist to Osimhen. I presume that this duo are either friends off the pitch or Kvara like some great players like Bergkamp, Xavi, Ozil enjoy giving assist.

Osimhen is unstoppable now. The elements have aligned for him. He is his name - Victor!

That’s what Victor gets for unselfishly allowing other players to score penalties. If it was insigne, that one must shoot at any chance

chrisooblog:
Lol please free them doc it's their coping mechanism shifting goalposts. First it was Osimhen can't score against big teams, now it's Serie A is a dead league same dead league that currently has three teams in the second round. Same dead league that Napoli flogged Liverpool senseless earlier in the season.

Oga no one said Osimehn is a bad player what people are saying is that the league is Dead. Btw, how come our superstars couldn’t score in 180 minutes vs Ghana after all those hype that season You can fool some people sometimes but you cannot fool everyone all the time

Joezinho:
Kvara is currently carrying that team. I hope he doesn’t get injured. We all saw how Osimhen performed when he played alongside “selfish insigne “

Osimehn scored 19 goals in all competitions without kvaradona despite being injured for a month plus. I am pretty sure that he can score without kvara

Joezinho:
Lol. They are not ready for this conversation. Kvaratshkhelia is the player Osimhen did not have last season.

Any team getting osimhen should get Kvaratskhelia also.

Seria A is a dead league but Napoli is a good team this season and their champions league performances speaks volume thus far
