Jodera: Lol.. If that's the case Blueray likes that Haaland type of striker. He's a proponent of let his strikers show workings with numbers 
Lol... Chelsea policy don change oo. Dem don dey cut their wage bill now and they wouldn't want to tamper with it. Na why dem dey offer Osimhen small money as wage  Osimehn is actually the kind of striker I like, very direct, can do linkup play, can create space for himself with off the ball movement and has goals to show for his efforts. And Osimehn has been consistent doing all that since he burst out on the international scene at the u-17 level till date. And do u know why I find it funny when people talk about his "attitude" ? Like this guy scored his first goal at the U-17 world cup and went straight to Amuneke to prostrate to show his respect for giving him a chance at the international scene. At the end of the day, I guess people see whatever they want to see in u. |

Something needs to be done about the bike men always driving along that BRT corridor. Those bike men are mostly policemen and Soldiers who use their bikes to hustle when they are off duty.
Most times the task force officers along that corridor don't arrest them because they are their comrades; so they just do espirit de corps and allow them safe passage. |

 What do you think about him? Yay or nay? I honestly don't see him as an improvement to the current striker options we have. In fact, I would rather they recall Nketiah than sign him. But If Arteta says he's our man, I don't have choice but to support him noni.  |

Itsrm: The major problem with PH is, I doubt there are up to 10 stations that sell below 700 and they don't sell everytime. The closest one to me is about 8kms and you can get there by 6am, queue till 8 and they won't sell. That's two litres of fuel wasted. If you decide to wait till they start selling before you join the queue, sorry will be your name. Most times, your options are between 890-950 per litre at filling stations and the 1100 he buys. The difference becomes less significant.
For you guys in Lagos who have more options, it's a no brainer to go and queue. Your explanation makes much sense. There's an NNPC filling station that is just like one minute drive from my house; there are two other NNPC filling stations like 10 minutes and 15 minutes drive from my house. All I need to do is stay on queue and buy fuel on weekends There are other filling stations closer to me whose prices vary from NNPC's like petrocham and other independent marketers. There's MRS filling station close to my work place that sell multiple pumps at the same time. All I need to do is leave home early and will buy fuel within 30 mins. In Lagos there's definitely options like you rightly said. |

mostob: Lol Did you take your time to read what you shared?
The headline itself already flaw your argument. We don't need off-ball dynamo, we need on-ball dynamo . To think the article was written in 2022 eh  All his off-ball attributes mentioned in the article, we have them in abundance. We have Havertz the space bender and Jesus the master of drop-deep football. Since I'm more particular about his finishing, let me quote this His actual goals have hovered around his total non-penalty xG over the past three completed seasons. Although more of a sample size is still likely needed, there’s a chance he’s the kind of forward who boosts his goal tally through lots of quality chances rather than efficient finishing on fewer opportunities.
Now the issue is, he is not an efficient finisher. His conversion rate is poor. The bolded above wouldn't have been an issue if he is going to offer something more aside goals. Unfortunately, that is not his forte.
And let me ask you this, did you at anytime think about all what is written in the article ? I mean did you find the correlation between what he offers and what we need right now as a team? I know u were quite predictable and u didn't disappoint me. I deliberately brought up the article knowing u would lap up to it and start poking holes while deflecting from the major issue. Initially you claimed Osimehn was not a prolific striker, yet he won a golden boot not for being a goalkeeper, not for being a LB but for besting every other striker in the league. You argued without any fact to prove he is not a prolific striker. Later you claimed he is all about goals and nothing else. I proceeded to show you an analysis of him being more than just a goal scorer but a player whose off-the ball movement ranks up the ladder up there. They analyzed how he drifts wide , how he create space in addition being a good striker. You obvioulsy left all of that and look at what you come up with.  You are quick to point out the article was written in 2022, but u wouldn't talk about scoring 26 league goals in 2022/23 and 15 league goals in 2023/24 season. The article has rubbished ur opinion that he's not fit for a team like Arsenal. When time reach, u go talk wetin Osimehn really do u. |

TemporaryHansel: You're funny. To me it's just a matter of stress, and comfort/convenience. Going to the fuel station is stress, meanwhile the black market seller brings the fuel to my house most times without me needing to go out. That's more convenient for me. We just see, and live life differently.  The norm is for one to go to filling station to buy fuel na. Even people abroad go to filling station to buy fuel, nobody buys fuel from the comfort of their home. I won't throw away almost 30k because I can't wait in queue to buy fuel o. Away from the financial implication, it is even not a flex to buy black market because you are at risk of buying bad fuel that can damage your engine. Black market people usually adultrate the fuel they sell. |

Jodera: No, I think you're misunderstanding blueray. I don't think Blueray needs an all action striker, instead what he just needs is someone that can bang goals and has the number to show for it as a Cf— whether all action or not. And that's the number Osimhen has thus he's in favor of Osimhen and nothing more. Any other thing apart from putting the ball at the back of the net is addendum
I'm the one that proudly talks about all action striker and I remember when he normally trolls me with Firmino cos of my love for him.
And as for Conte wanting Lukaku, it just proved Man is obsessed with Lukaku. I don't believe why any club should be going for him when he's clearly past it. Tbh, it has nothing to do with Osimhen but all to do with Conte and his Lukaku obsession U don finish talk. I rest my case on this topic. |

germaphobe: There was a time maybe in 2019 or so Osimehn had a fight with balogun in training and Rohr had to bench him, Musa and Paul onucho played the cf role ahead of him. He also had a problem with peseiro, when he also had issues with Uzoho, the whole team begged him but he was wanted to fight. And the issue with Finidi which he didn't care if the report of what the coach said was true or not before blasting him online. Omor, if I be CEO or HR I would never take such person in my organization. He has the talent, he can deliver on the pitch, but the family and togetherness in the club or organization will be at risk. Same thing that happened with him in Napoli last season, he was the reason they had many locker room issues. Please post link to his issues with his fellow players in Napoli |

mostob: Lol. You don scroll up?
And yes, he is not clinical. He has better stats than Jesus. I mean which striker in EPL didn't have better stat than Jesus last season?
His chance conversion is not good enough but that 65 goals is all you see. If it is by goals, Arsenal wouldn't have approached Sesko instead of Osimhen now.
You still need to scroll up and find your man. The bold is all I want to hear. Thank You. If it is Jesus 2.0 you want the management to sign, then goodluck to you. To disabuse ur mind about who Osimehn is, please take your time to read through this analysis of his playstyle. Please don't be in a hurry to reply this post, take ur time to read through the analysis and let me hear your opinion afterwards. You claimed up there that you watch Osimehn more than I do, I want to know ur opinion after reading this analysis and also factoring in his matches you've watched overtime. https://theanalyst.com/2022/09/victor-osimhen-the-off-ball-dynamo |

I said Osimehn was a better goalscorer than any of our current strikers, Guess what you did? You disagreed, you quoted me and claimed he's not that clinical. Is Jesus not one of our strikers?

Jodera: I don't think Osimhen and Xhaka/Suarez situation are similar in terms of gravity Sha. Suarez bite situation sef, I even explained that in Chelsea thread(tho it's still my opinion)
To go on air to start insulting your coach with such foul words publicly is something most disciplined coach will frown at no matter how right or wrong you are. I'm not even against a player voicing your displeasure but to do it in that manner is so so so damn. There are various ways to pass your message. It means even them won't be spared if he has displeasure about anything serious
And tbh, even if it's a white player, I would still make same claim. It has nothing to do with him being black Alright o. But I am 100% certain that wherever Osimehn ends up, u will not see him engage in any war of words with his manager like he has never had any issue with his club managers. |

No queues here, but despite that I can't remember the last time I bought fuel from fuel stations. I see it as a waste of time. The difference between black market and filling station price is like day and night. You will buy 568 at NNPC , 630 or thereabouts at MRS and black market like 1,000 to 1,200 per liter. If u want to buy like 50 liters, you will buy for N28,400 at NNPC, N31,500 at MRS and N60,000 at black market. Nobody will teach you patience , u will just have it ; especially if it is weekend when u are not going to work. |

Jodera: I also don't think he has attitude problem but I think that video he made will make Arteta and edu not look towards his direction. That to me will be a big red flag for them. I don't know about other clubs Sha Xhaka after a poor performance in our game vs Crystal Palace told the fans to 4ck off(because they booed him after a poor performance), Pulled off his Arsenal Jersey(as a captain o) , threw his shirt on the floor and went straight to the tunnel after being subbed off. If Arteta and Edu are whom u are trying to paint them up there, I don't they would've worked with Xhaka at all. In fact, Arteta would've binned him immediately he was appointed as manager after Emery left. Guess what? that same Arteta managed Xhaka and turned him to a player the fans grew to love once again. Make una no dey pain these people like some African elderly parent that will bittch-slap u for even arguing with them. Areta is a professional, the players are professionals as well; they understand things can get heated and players can get over their own head. All these talk about red flags, why is it coming up only when Osimehn an African player is involved. Even Suarez wey dey bite people played for top managers till he moved to MLS.

[quote author=iamoyindamola post=131726983]Imagine saying we get this kind man like 50 naija go get hope See people the man is fighting for still they beg the man to allow the Hilux pass
see the bolded, that's the major problem we have in Nigeria. Those people begging him to allow the hilux pass are the typical average Nigerians; they exhibit that character in every facet of life. They are always willing to let people with bad behavior get away with it without thinking of the effect it has on others.
Recently I was at a filling station on queue to buy fuel after spending close to 3 hours on the slow-moving queue. I was just like 3 to 4 vehicles from entering the filling station when one lady who was on an illegal parallel queue just attempted to join the queue in the front.
That was how one finished man allowed her to enter when the queue moved. Everyone behind this ediiot were furious , but the man was saying we should chill that she's just a lady na. Omo, I've never felt that much anger before.
The crazy thing was that just while I was about driving in, the manager of the filling station asked them to lock the gate and not allow any car drive in again. They want to sell for only those within the premises and stop selling. I had to struggle to drive in before they locked the gate o. The cars behind me weren't lucky simply because the yeye man allowed someone not on queue initially join the queue; and others not on queue seized the opportunity as well. |

mostob: Yea.. he will give us a presence inside the box but his other aspect of playing is average. His major weakness is his ball-playing. He will be good for plan B especially during 'rush hour' but then spending 100m on a plan B is somehow.
And please chance is chance whether na national team or club side. Although I'm not ruling out the fact that he can tremendously improve but will he be fit enough?
As for your last paragraph, many fans don't know how thorough Edu and Arteta can be when it comes to transfer. Edu mentioned three of the things they look out for in a player before marking him as a target. The wage, age and i think performance. Remind me what was Auba's offence when he was left out of the team. Our only clinical striker o. Our captain o. And Blueray want us to believe they can't use that Finidi incident to rule him out. Should we even talk about how he shouts at his teammates during matches.
See if they sign him fine, if they don't, fine. Whatever I say here doesn't really matter. I no dey part of Arsenal staff. Tell us what Auba did. And tell us if Osimehn has acted in such manner to any of his club coaches. I dislike the fact that u can't point out any single incident where Osimehn has been found wanting as a professional in his club sides ; but yet you keep questioning his professionalism. So u think if Arsenal signs Osimehn he will be a plan B ?  I don't even think you watch Osimehn well enough going by ur claim up there that aside for his presence in the box, there's nothing else to write home about him. For your information, Osimehn is well known for his presence in the box, his athleticism, strength, directness, runs into space, eye for goal and linkup play. Maybe u should take some time to watch his clips sha |
