He was already a Chelsea player even before the tournament started.

Didn't know this

However, you cannot entirely refute my claim

TheSuperNerd:
Mamadou Sarr literally plays for Strasbourg which is called Chelsea's feeder side in France by some. Strasbourg are owned by the blueCo group that is also owned by Todd Boehly (who also owns Chelsea). So basically Chelsea and Strasbourg have same owners.

The Mamadou link is no surprise if you do a little research on your own.

Still doesn't refute my claims that Naija players aren't usually preferred in the transfer market, research or not

In the last 10 years, how many Nigwrian players have earned a move to Big Name clubs and compare that number to Senegal or ivorycoast

Not that their players are entirely better

Confirms what I said earlier

0robably did t have a good a tournament as bassey

But guess who Chelsea is going for?

And he does t even have EPL experience

It is well

Charlesemeka85

See wetin I dey talk yesterday

charlesemeka85:
my brother the thing dey surprise sometimes too

If Bassey happen to be Ghanaian or even Senegalese with his performance at the just concluded Afcon and epl this season many big clubs would hv been fighting over him

I dey tell you

Imagine being in Turkey at the twilight of your career

It's not a massive step up at all, no matter the love fans are showing osimhen, it will severely limit their chances at silverware

See Semenyo, see sesko, see Gyokeres, how many good seasons did they have to prove themselves before a big club picked them up?

Is Man City too big a club for lookman? Or is Liverpool too big a club for osimhen

Stupid Arsenal with thwor racist boas will rather sign a "white one season wonder" striker than snap up Osimhen

Life truly ain't fair my bro

Osimhen has been doing his thing since royal charleroi and no big break yet..

Omo......

I often wonder why Nigerian players hardly get offers to g9 to bigger clubs after good performances

An Osimhen or Lookman shouldn't be playing in Turkey at this stage of thwir career

I pin it down to bad agents but I may be wrong

See all the talk of Bassey - I remember saying it that Bassey would go nowhere - he is Nigerian after all

No matter how good you play, clubs would either underprice or something would come up that will break down talks

It is what it is

It is mid boggling because ypu have a delap in Chelsea and gyokeres and sesko in top epl teams

I can't fathom it at all

Kog45:
In court of law you will lose..."you said there's no match he play and you expect a goal"are you not lying here?

Just few days ago you said the guy is fat and a reputable member even corroborated you but I showed you his six packs body...

Now tell me who is doing this analysis with bias and sentiment

He scores once in a blue moon boss

Kog45:
No be only catching I wan arrest you😅Good morning

Good morning boss mi

Kog45:
Oga it's your opinion not general...I just made a comparison with Paul Onuachu.....oya tell me apart from Osimhen which eagles striker guaranteed you a goal.

Akor

Kog45:
Hope you don see am wella,very fat with six packs 🤗🤗🤗

My oga, you don catch me😀😀

Kog45:
Yes a goal in months,8 matches and a goal with very poor minutes of play if summed up is not up to 3 full matches,Awoniyi hasn't had 90 minutes game this season,most of his games this season are subbed in 10 or less minutes to go,and funny you did not even showed compassion to his injuries woes, especially the last one...fans are just happy for him

Oga Chris,nothing serious, people are just happy for him due to his life threatening injury.....yes only injury made him not to be relied on cuz if Paul Onuachu with eagles stats of 30 matches with 4 goals and even older can still be considered then why written off a player with eagles stats of 10 matches and 2 goals with even limited minutes.

Awoniyi has nothing to offer the eagles

It's not even about the stats. Bros style is play is yuck

There no match awonoyi is playing and you expect a goal....it's that bad

Let's not deceive ourselves by holding onto sentiments

Kog45:
This is the fat Awoniyi

Yes

🤣🤣🤣

do4luv14:
Omo seriously you have time ooo,

And it's not even if the grade A Coach is available, the money dey to pay am, what football philosophy do we have that will determine the kind of grade A Coach we need,
.see Oga SIM just leave the Guy, Else e go continue skirt and trouser the answers 😁😁😁

How far Pinnick pikin,

Your Papa don drop another lie say chelle go do IT for European clubs same way him lie for Rohr and Bayern Munich that time....

What's your take?

Sarsaparilla524:
Rangers of Scotland left back Jayden Meghoma is open to the idea of representing the senior national team of Nigeria despite being eligible for England as well, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Lolll

Like he has a chance with England before

TheSuperNerd:
Maybe, maybe not. You can never tell.

Loll

I pray bro

TheSuperNerd:
The win is for Nigerian football.

The more talents come through, the more your darkness of pessimism dims.

Win is for Nigerian football

Like pur talk here dey affect match outcome or salary

😅😅😅

TheSuperNerd:
Akinsanmiro is here to stay.

Same way Osimhen came and stayed.

Your darkness will not overrule the good works we do.

Okay, you've won

Arr yo7 happy now!!

🤣🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
Exactly @emboldened... That is what you do as the elf of darkness. Same way Osimhen was overrated to you all that time before u became somewhat of a believer even though the darkness still lingers in your heart....

Kindly Rest in

You're talking too much now

Abeg. Rest !!!!

TheSuperNerd:
I wonder when you ever cared. Is it not you who takes delight in talking down on every Nigerian player including Osimhen? Again Rest.

Stick to your pessimistic brand. Players analysis is not your forte.

This "hype" word is also grossly misused. Saying what a player does in a game as it happened must have another meaning I dont know about.

Again Rest, Elf of darkness. This is noise. Perhaps when your data expires on this darkelf mode, u will switch to Blueelf.

Bro, you're just qrit8ng episodes

Kindly rest!!!!!

I will put down whom I want and say what I want about any player. I will voice my feelings as I deem fit

Kindly rest bro...

Akinsanmiro is overrated!!!!!!!!

Kog45:
Yes your opinion doesn't count just like mine own opinion

You understand the assignment

TheSuperNerd:
Rest. When Nigeria next has a game, then your pessimistic relevance returns.

Blueelf, Darkelf, elf of darkness.... stick to your job. This one is not your jurisdiction.

I don talk my own and I will continue to say it

You are quick to hype players

Akinsanmiro may end up giving into the hope that we gave Nwakali

Bro, don't say "did you watch the game"


Let his numbers s0eak for him. There's no sacred lamb here and every player must be scrutinised

Love and light

I go continue to talk. No be you dey buy data for me bro. So, resttttt

Please before you hype Akinsanmiro and you say -"did you watch the match"

Remember that's how you guys hyped Nwakali with the same phrase - "did you watch the match"

When a player plays well, we say it but if he wasn't himself, no need to hide weaknesses

Because sooner than latter, it'll show

Love and light

Kog45:
Just say injury prone and move on Abegi,which one be fat,unfit and overrated....Oga go to archive and check out his performance in EPL before injuries set in..Abegi no dey describe my boy like that,if you no rate him fine and good..He face a lot and thank God he is alive cuz his last injury would have ended his life,and his pay master appreciate him till date for saving Nottingham Forests twice from relegated.... koko be say Awo is a good boy and Nottingham Forests fans appreciate him despite his form and injuries palava

Overrated......

I'm entitled to my opinion

Papi85:
🚨🌳EXCL: Taiwo Awoniyi set to leave Nottingham Forest in January!

The Super Eagles striker is in talks with Bundesliga side Mainz 05.

Fat, unfit. Injury prone and overrated

It wad bound to happen

cc: darkelf

Whether we make it to the WC or not, I don't really care at this point

TheSuperNerd:
Elf of Darkness, read, understand and digest before you speak.

Apologies

Bad eyesight, did t see the exclamation mark

Ex-NFF president Amaju Pinnick has revealed arrangements are being made for Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle to undertake internships at elite European clubs to enhance his technical abilities.

way they said Rohr will take some courses with Bayern Munich that year

Guess who was head of NFF? This same Amaju

Please that man na just sweet mouth him get. Don't take his word as bond please

TheSuperNerd:
Bassey played in the 2021/2022 Europa League Final for Rangers and dropped a world class performance from LCB.

He also made UEL Team of the season (see below) yet somehow the English Media stayed blind. May this sort of blindness continue as we approach other Anglo-Nigerian talents like Emmanuel Opeyemi Fernandez and co.

Now that was Bassey in 2022 just few months after his Super Eagles "baptism of fire" debut in the WCQs playoff vs Ghana in March of same year.

Now Bassey in 2025/26, Bassey is making Afcon 2025 Team of the Tournament (see below again) as the undisputed Best CB at the competition.

May England stay blind. While they bag the likes of Ethan Nwaneri, Ebere Eze and co, we will bag the likes of Fernandez and a few more whose quality will eventually shine.

Ebere Eze ??

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ship has sailed na

Mujtahida:
Moroccans love Bassey oo

The Moroccans 🇲🇦/ North Africans were really impressed with Calvin Bassey 🇳🇬, He was a beast at the AFCON, Time to move to a top team (Liverpool, Man City, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona etc)

Sadly he may not even be considered

Do you know why? Because of his black skin and the fact that they don't rate AFCON.

Don't be surprised if he remains at Fulham for the remainder of his contract. Thw truth is when it comes to Africsn talents, clubs have an innate bias against them. That's the way it's always been.

Let a white European give same basseys performance and watch the media go crazy and hype him

Also, many Nigerian stars font have good agents. I don't knownwho basseys agents are but onyedila is a perfect example. Such form in rugged and na Turkish clubs dey eye you??. As how?

Onyedika with good agents should be playing in a better club by now

For a black man to enter top 4 club in a top 4 league, it's either you play out of your mind or you have a wonderful agent

Goke7:
If it’s possible let Nigeria employ that Morocco coach in addition to Chelle cos just like Mali some African countries are just plainly stupid in sacking very high quality coaches.

Nff should call it another role I don’t mind

Can't happen

That man is too high profile to be an assistant.lolll🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's times like this you which that football was like FIFA

As Marvellous as it is, It can't happen

If Morocco sacks him, then they fully deserve all the failure that will come after his ouster

Arab nations are sore loosers

elyte89:
This must be fake 😃, aw u go sack this kind coach

It's all over twitter

They are looking to sign iniesta

Papi85:
19-year old striker Precious Benjamin has joined SCR Altach in the Austrian Bundesliga from TSG Hoffenheim on loan until the end of the season. He was part of Nigeria’s bronze medal winning side at the 2025 U20 AFCON.

19 years of age

Lollll
