Finally a goal.

Papi85:
u no see as Eletu tire for am 🤣

Me sef I tire. The guy just wasted a sweet opportunity.

Sunday, must you cut in with your right. Can't you shoot with your left?

Referee decides not to award the penalty because an Italian player committed a handball before the penalty.

Now that's definitely a penalty.

The Italians have slipped in their performance. We need to take advantage of this and score quickly.

Samueltemi337:
Your own Na to come here then complain about their age everytime
Rest abeg

You for try dey scroll past my comments if them dey pain you because I never even start. There's more to come 😆 😎

Italy hit the bar.

Abeg, how old did our Goalkeeper say he is?

The Italians are playing beautiful football.

andrew444:
Reminds me of Pedro and busquets at 21 winning but all

True.

If Man City win the treble, then it means that Julian Alvarez would have won the World Cup, Premier League, F.A cup and the Champions League all in the space of 6 months and he's just 23 years old.

What a player!!! 🔥🔥

Mujtahida:
Ohhh God! 😂😂😂😂. What is wrong with you?

😆😆😆

Papi85:
real wetin?🤣🤣🤣🤣

I say make I support them small 😆

Finally, a real goal.

They just scored an offside goal.

Ladan Bosso, why?

Whyyyyyyyyy?!!!

What did we do to deserve this?

I just saw someone that looks like my generator repairer.

Papi85:
before em go reach 18 to move to europe em don pass em peak 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chai 😆😆🤣

lovewins:
He claimed 15 actually. He just became 16

Haaaaaaaa 🙆🏽‍♂️😳😮😆🤣🙆🏽‍♂️

lovewins:
It's even more annoying when you realize the average age is 17yrs. How on earth could Daga claim to be 16? Asides the fact that it's just plain ridiculous, it also doesn't make any business sense. Now he has to wait 2 more years to get a professional contract.

Immediately I saw that Daga, I shouted(no jokes). I didn't even know he claimed to be a 16 year old. Nigeria na cruise

The first half was boring to say the least. Hopefully the second half will be better.

These men said they're Under 20? Chai Naija

Two can play the game 🤷🏽‍♂️.

Men are waking up.

Sir,Emma Ebiede and Kingsley Obiekwu played in Dutch league and at the end no money after they left the game.

Stephen Keshi and Samson Siasia spent years in Belgium but Dominic Iorfa moved from Belgium to EPL made him richer.I had talked with Siasia and he said he Paschal Patrick who went to Turkey after he almost finished his career made money than him.

Sir,playing in Belgium and Holland does not guarantee financial stability after retirement so Southampton good for Paul Onuachu.

You're right. I totally understand if he made that decision because of money, especially at his current age.

lbrichman2:
It was all about the money for Onuachu
I guess he was offered around 5 times his Gent salary or more
Man had to secure the bag, he's not getting younger after all

Well it's possible sha. I just checked and saw that he's earning about £30,000 per week at Southampton. At a black market rate of #930, that means he's currently earning #27,900,000 per week

Papi85:
Simy didn’t make any mistake. He only signed for a team that were willing to have him

There is no way the likes of Lazio,atalanta and the rest will want him for him to reject them and move to newly promoted salernitana unless the they offered more money

Scoring 20 serie A goals was enough to earn him a move to inter, juve or even Milan

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Lazio indicated interest in Simy. I'm guessing Crotone wanted more than what Lazio offered although I don't think there was any official bid. I personally think he also didn't want to play back up to Immobile.

Mallorca offered 3.5million euros but were rejected by Crotone.

Simy's major issue was his age and not lack of quality. As at the time he scored those goals, he was already 29 years old. No big club will be willing to spend huge money on a 29 year old striker except you've shown consistency over the years e.g Harry Kane.

Papi85:
what about simy that got a move to salernitana after scoring 20 serie A goals? Such numbers ought to atleast earn him a move to the likes of Lazio,fiorentina,udinese,atalanta or even bologna

What makes a good striker is more than just goals.

Simy made the same mistake, even worse.

I understand your point but as a striker, goals are your primary duty and that's why Man City did all they could to sign Haaland. You can do all the hold up and link up play in this world but at the end of the day, what people will remember you for are your goals because that is your primary duty. Assists come second.

Concerning Choupo, that was all part of the agent's plan. Terminate your contract with stoke, and I'll get you a free transfer move to PSG. From PSG, he got him a move to Bayern. Now that's how a smart agent works.

As a footballer, if you have an agent with great selling skills, you've solved half of your problems.

Papi85:
how will he move to the teams you mentioned when they never had any interest in him?

He was desperate to leave the Belgian league and the only tangible offer he got was that of soton

Yeah, you're right and that's why I said he should have stayed in Belgium since they didn't indicate interest in him but I still feel his agent could have done more.

If a relegation threatened Southampton was the best team he could get for Onuachu in the EPL even with all the goals he scored in Belgium, then he must be a quack agent. Try comparing him with Choupo Moting's agent and you'll see what I mean.

Papi85:
Orban’s style of play will make him explode in any terrain he finds him self. He is explosive,strong,a good carrier of the ball and can shoot from outside the 18 yard box. Also he’s technical ability is decent with the tendency of improving in the nearest future. Remember he is just 20

He can’t be compared to an onuachu who feeds only on aeriel balls and tap in

Even when onuachu was scoring for fun in Belgium I never rated him and many times said he will flop in a more competitive league and many labeled me a hater for stating the obvious. The same reason after scoring truck load of goals no serious team considered him good enough to splash the type of money genk were demanding before soton came calling

The same league a young osimhen tore to shreds with even low goal ratio when compared to that of onuachu but still earned a move to lille while the latter who had better goal scoring ratio struggled for almost 3 reasons to get a move to lowly rated soton

I've been thinking about this and I have come to the conclusion that Onuachu's agent must be very lazy and inefficient. In fact, the guy na cow.

Why did get him a move to Southampton of all places? Didn't he see mid table teams like Fulham and Brighton that specialize in a lot of dangerous crosses into the box?

Onuachu would have scored more goals playing as a back up striker to Mitrovic or even struggling for the number 9 spot with Welbeck/Ferguson in Brighton.

He scored lots of goals in Genk because he had the likes of Ito and Bongonda around him. These players knew how to cross the ball.

I can't even name any good Southampton winger/fullback but in Fulham, there's Willian. In Brighton, there's Mitoma, March, Gross. These players can guarantee you at least two good crosses each, per game.

If those teams don't want you, then stay in your Belgium or move to Spain/France.

That move to Southampton still dey vex me till today.

Great. That's one male life being saved from her torture.

Blueelf:
This guy would choose England over Nigeria

.I'm so sure

Let Naija approach him, you'll hear "Decisions like this aren't made in an hurry, let me think about it"

I think he already switched to Nigeria. I remember reading something like that in the Guardian some years back. 2019 or so.

Mehn, Chuba Akpom really surprised me this season. Look at those numbers!!! 😲.
