An African Man has to be Twice as good as a European or South American to excel. Trust me on that one.

and Olympics & AFCON big pass World Cup, Euro and Confederations Cup right?
Do you realize that France had one of the Strongest 11 even without Henry in that ERA? Yet, Henry couldn’t score in any Major league Final or cup Final. Etoo did it like 5 different finals for Club and country. All these Mumu Arsenal fans think scoring 200 goals and dribbling luton is what makes a player great. My friend, if you cannot perform in Big and important games, you can never be the best. This is what differentiated players like Etoo, Zidane, Ronaldinho etc

That's the only area where Eto has made more impact than Henry but that's just only a couple of games and cannot be used solely to assess how good a player has been over hundreds of games.

To use your logic, Drogba has scored in way more finals than Eto'o, yet Eto'o is clearly rated above him. If only records in finals were used, then Drogba would be even a better player than Cristiano.
Etoo is rated above drogba because drogba was a Late bloomer

The Henry that Eto played with in Barca was already past his prime. He barely scored 12 goals in his last season in the EPL before moving to Barca. Eto'o cannot measure up to Henry of 2001 - 2006 especially the 2002 - 2004 version.

It's like comparing Harry Kane and Pendu of this season. When you compare players you focus on their prime and longevity to be objective.


Even when etoo was past his prime, he still scored massively at inter Milan

Many of you here are Arguing in IGNORANCE! sad

Nicholas Anelka won the EPL Golden Boot in 1997/1998 season as a Young Unknown 18 Year old Boy!

U Guys think its an Easy feathuh

The Next 1998/1999 season, He scored 15+goals and Real Madrid Bought him for a Huge Fee!

Amelia wasn’t better than Henry let’s be partial

At Real Madrid, Raul and Fernando Morienties Ganged up against him and another Young Black Striker (Samuel Eto).

Dats Y Eto hated Real Madrid till and was Scoring against them in Real Mallorca!

I watched Eto at his prime. Despite having Ronaldinho, Xavi, Deco and young Messi for support and playing for the best team in Spain then, he was still outscored by Valencia's David Villa and Villareal's Diego Forlan for pichichi. Put 2002 - 2004 prime Henry in that same Barca side, he would be European golden boot winner all through.
All that mattered was that he scored on all important games I.e Champions league final, Afcon final, Olympics Final. Honestly, you guys don’t know football

Cappings!! Are you saying Victor Valdez is better than Van Der Ser as much trophies are involved?
Okay! Henry has World cup title to his name which Eto'o never had...

Are we clear now??
You must be drinking Sapele water do you expect Etoo to win a World Cup with a below average Cameroonian team when Henry is playing alongside Zidane

Eto'o is just an attention-seekiing ex-footballer.

Despite his ridiculous statement, how many UCL goals did he score in his career?

He was just an elite footballer. Period.
He scored 2 in 2 separate champions league final Henry didn’t even score 1. In addition to that, he won Afcon and Olympics for a below average cameroun side. You should put ETOo in that France team and see if he won’t score in a World Cup final. When it comes to complete pure strikers in the last 30 years, only fenomeno is above Etoo

African footballer of the year.


Liverpoo And sallah are nothing this year, so is mahrez in Man city. Maybe only Mane has really tried but still falls short of an African players of the year award performance.

With this momentum, Osihmen will clearly win the award.
Salah has 9 goals so far

Marquee teams searching for a new top Striker
Man utd
Chelsea
Bayern Munich
Psg (If Mbappe leaves)

Osimehn all you have to do is score 25 to 30 goals this season and one of these four teams will come for you. The ball is in your court. SE is in a dire need for a Global Football superstar

Ppogbae:
Forget about value, they can't bench him because Osimhen is a game changer. Can Raspa, Kvara or Simeone lead the team to level from being 2-0 down?
They have actually been a better team (Goal scoring wise) without him. Although, their 2 bench strikers don’t have his work ethic, passion or drive, they’re equally as capable of scoring. He cannot be benched or dropped because it will tremendously reduce his valuation in the buyers eyes
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by BannedLarge: 8:19pm On Oct 26, 2022
Osimehn will most likely be sold after this season considering the form of Simeone and rasberry. The only reason that they can’t even bench him is because it can possibly affect his value. My hope is that, osimehn signs for one of the best club in the World. Chelsea go fit am. He should use this season and improve on his positioning, Missing Sitters and knowing when to use energy/speed. Also, learning how to shoot from outside will be a plus. The guy is just 24 and he has time to improve

After Drogba, I've finally seen that one African that can carry his club all on his shoulders and deliver the goods back to back for them with extreme confidence and power.

Whenever I watch osimhen, I just remember the great days of Drogba

Nunez is much better than Sadiq - FOR NOW
Bro, they both played at Almeria go and check their records at almeria. If Sadiq was a Spanish player with that almeria Record, he would had been at a bigger club than RS. Trust me, whenever you see an African at the top, just understand that he had to put twice the effort as a White man

But saying victor goal record is not good enough is not it abeg ,person Dey average about 1 goal in every 2 games ,it’s decent for me .
My anger is that he doesn’t perform in big game. You don’t have to score 30 goals a season just keep scoring in all the big and important games and posterity will remember you. Drogba was a perfect example….. it boils my heart that osimehn couldn’t score in 180 Minutes vs Ghana Amartey…. Sorry that’s UNACCEPTABLE expecially as you’re referred to as Monster Machine

Osimhen should at least score 15 league goals, how can you label à striker who is still struggling to score 15 league goals "À top striker"... Isn't that madness?

All these useless hype is the reason why we won't be playing in Qatar next month.
My guy, go and view Drogba history and check his statistics at 24 then come back to me. Osimehn hasn’t even reached his Prime yet. Also, a lot of his hype is based on future projections considering his age and talent shown. My main issue with people here is that, whenever someone speak of Osimehn weakness they will attack that person personally

There are lots of politics at this award. For example, Lewandoski deserved the 2020/21 version but he didn’t win while Messi won it. Today, saka deseved the u21 award and was robbed
