Watched this interesting clip about Haaland's general playing style. I think this gives more insight around the Osimhen is a better all round forward debate. Please pay special attention to the Henry part of the analysis

Osimhen is on course for 30 goals this season. I don't know if anybody has noticed. I noticed around 3 weeks ago.
When he does so big clubs are next. He is scoring in 80 percent if his matches. By calculating it is 34 goals this season
he should stay in napoli for now

No need been in a hurry

Bayern would be the next best destinaion for him.

Bayern play more like a team and ae in dire need of a striker. Not a team like madrid, or psg or manu wih their selfish stars who won't pass he ball

charlesemeka85:
the club splashed money on you as a striker because they believe in your qualities and you can only repay that faith by banging goals

It works out for some and at the same time doesn’t work out for many. Osimhen is yet to move to Madrid, man united not Bayern so I see no reason you guys harping on the possibility of him flopping

With such reasoning he would hv remained at Charleroi instead of moving to Lille or remained at Lille instead of moving to Naples

Na una go Dey cry say Nigerian players no dey play for top traditional teams in Europe’s top leagues at the same time they fear for the ones we merit such moves not to accept it

The way una dey reason sometimes eeeh
Bro, what about after 6 games without a goal?

What will you say then?

Bro, when a club spends money on you, you better hit the ground running even in your first game, else the fans will come for you or you chop bench

Truidstar:
My brother, during the Nations cup… you can go back and check. There was an Nwakali Mass delusion event that was organized. His super natural abilities were trumpeted to the high heavens. Heat maps were produced, pictures of Nwakali wearing Superman shirts were shown, he was hailed as the Messiah of our midfield. Even respected monikers here who normally approached any subject with logic and intelligence abandoned all reason and joined the orgy of delusion stark naked. I had to double check to see if it was the same Nwakali Abi it was another one. It was an exaggeration galore. You can confirm yourself .
LOll

You remember

grin grin grin

Someone not even ranked as one of the best midfielders in Segunda division...SEGUNDAAAAA

Some players are favorites, so nothing their delusional fans say will surprise me

Let me even say it boldly, Osimhen has never gotten the level of hype the other guys have gotten until very recently. This is the truth except we want to start lying to ourselves

I bet the renting girls for teammates by Iheanacho is a big lie. But, you will believe it because of your dislike for Iheanacho.

Iheanacho worked very hard in life to get to where he is. He did not pick it on the road.

Also, we are yet to see a club manager complain of Iheanacho not working hard.

You don't get to outperform Salah, Harry Kane, Son and Mane in a month by being unserious.

Last week, Iheanacho won man of the match with Son and Harry Kane in a better team.

I know most of you hate him but stop pushing a false agenda against him.
He outperformed them in just 1 week

They have been outperforming him for years

This is my last response to you on this space because you like arguing blindly and i have no strength for foolish arguments

You may dismiss me

But in my little football experience it's not always talent and ability but MENTALITY that is the core component for success.

Within mentality is humility, resilience, diligence, discipline, quest to improve and rise , overcome and overtake.

That's what VO is he was very weak technically and his football ⚽ intelligence near zero at Wolfsburg. But he realised, l got a lot to learn, he humbled himself with a never say die determination, he improved ,he Learned, he adapted, he pushed himself, he was never content ,he wanted more and has ARISEN. There is no discussion about top strikers without his name in the mix.

KC remained he has got to where he wanted beyond his wildest dreams. When he moved to Leicester he got £2.5 million in the bank 🏦 imagine what exchange rate then it was £1 to 250 Naira ( land and houses werva lot cheaper cement too) He was content football ⚽ became a pass time without any passion to RISE and make a name he has made the £££ ,nuttin remain, I have Arrived.

Isaac Success the waste Man was even worse big money enter hand ,brain scatter he even became over weight. Fighting 3 olosho in a 5 star hotel ,drunk and refusing to pay for services rendered.

Kelechi in a nutshell is a guy who began to celebrate before the goal was in the net . Living the lifestyle without actually being successful. He didn't improve he believed the hype his own and many who have hailed him here , Midfield maestro numero one, inside bottom of Segundo division. He has had too much opportunity but nothing to show.
Broz, God will bless you richly for this post. You will never know evil and anything you lay your hands to do will prosper

This has been the summary about my Gospel on these players you mentioned

Victor Osimhen worked really hard to get to where he is. He trained hard and fought tooth and nail to get better everyday. Am I there with him in training? Big No. But it's obvious from his play that this is a player ever hungry for more.

Sadly, most Nigerian players are not like this and that's why we don't see them play consistently. The moment many of them get to Europe or get 5good games of form, they drop off

You even forgot to add KC Nacho renting girls for team mates before a Super Eagles match. I swear, that dude is a bad influence. Notice the guys that were fingered in that scandal, their careers have fallen off, the likes of Onyekuru, awaziem and even Ndidi

When we talk, one intelligent buffoon even said I hate Igbo. I have never seen a statement that reeks of low IQ than that. So, since I've been praising Osimhen, does that make me Edo? Big No. We ought to call out erring players. Some of these players don't know the opportunities they are wasting until it's too late to make a change. Many teenagers and young adults are looking for agents to take them to Europe. Some of the may have better talent and hunger than our so called big boys but na opportunity them lack

Tell me why I would rate a segunda player and ask him to coordinate our midfield. Am I mad?

Is it that we don't have better options in the EPL. I would even take a prodigal son in Ebere Eze over that overrated buffoon in the segunda anytime. If he is that good, why is he still in the segunda? Do we know better than the scouts? Lollll. Sentiments won't allow some of you people to say the truth.

You see that "I have arrived mentality" is the bane of many Nigerian players. Coupled with the fact that it seems for many of them, they have a "sure shirt" in the National Team makes them complacent. This is an issue for another day.

I forgot to even mention hot/cold chukwueze. That one's case is beyond my comprehension

I hail una

What reputation ❓

One very good season out of 6 seasons so far the rest have been abysmally poor.

No amount of statistical manipulation is going to make him a top striker.

The key component for quality is CONSISTENCY, which in one regard he has been consistently poor.

You may wish to say because he didn't start games or enough game time. Luckily all the strikers for Leicester in the HERE and NOW are poor including Vardy.
This is one of the very few komekn's post I agree with

KC nacho is very inconsistent

YOu guy's forget that his inconsistency made Rorhr drop him from the bronze winning AFCON squad

The guy has been on poor form. If you're as good, even a sentimental coach like rodgers won't have any choice but to play you

Dude is overrated because he is many people's favorite here. Same way people overrate Nwakali. This is someone who can' survive the EPL talk less of the spanish lower division where he is plying his trade. I even saw a post celebratinghim as one of the top 15 players in spanish lowerdivision. Haba!!! Have we come this low? And this is the same person some people are pushing to anchor the midfield of the super eagles

WC was not played this year,whether it would be used to judge d award that will be given towards d end of this year,I don't know.
But what I know is that if he continues to perform at this rate, possibly winning the Italian league,top goal scorer, league's mvp, champion's league great showing.
My brother, I will even b looking beyond APOTY but ballon d'or top 10 finish.

U cannot expect caf to overlook a player who finished higher at the ballon d'or list n give it to a player who did not.

Go check d record, almost all d time ,a player who finished highest at d ballon dor ends up winning APOTY,n this year won't b exception.
If it's Mane that finishes highest at d ballon dor,he will likely win it.

Moreover,by d time d awards would b given,WC performances would have been forgotten by many.

And that caf dont like Nigerian players will not stop anything.
We've had Nigerian players won d award several times in d past.
If a Nigerian player out performs every other players beyond any reasonable doubt,he will surely win it.

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?
Bros, may God bless you well..you too get sene

I discussed this with my brother last week and said the same thing.

Osimhen ought to be patient. And very wise too

All these big eams with unstable management. They sack the coach who bought you and another one comes with his own preferred player. Make Osimhen calm down oooo
