You are free to like what you want.

I am a fantastic of the possessive game. We played brilliantly today. The reason Arsenal had shots on target is because it is a counter to an open defence.

At the end it was a patked bus win. You are free to like it but it is not a fruitful long term philosophy proven over time. I hope that is how you want Arsenal to play all games.

TheGoodJoe:
Congratulations to Arsenal. Big win for them. However, apart from the few chances they created, overall, they were poor and Arteta need to work on improving their game plah massively.

The Goalkeeper of Arsenal is atrocious with his foot. Arsenal needs to keep signing a keeper in mind.

Well done to them.

Lol... @I told you so crew.

See Dave, Ajax in Holland just unveiled a Young Ghanaian star. 19 yrs old Mohammed Kudus. Signed from Nordsjaelland in Denmark. Ghanaians are so really excited for the move and they should be. €9million for the lad. Ghana's most expensive Teen player ever.

You see Ghana's excitement at that unveiling. It would not compare one bit to the excitement that will greet Osimhen's unveiling at Naples both in Italy and in Nigeria and even across some parts of Europe. Na here we dey. And this is only the beginning of a new positively beastly chapter for the lad.

I keep saying this and I would keep saying it till it happens. In the next few seasons, Osimhen will become Africa's most expensive player of all time. And I believe he would hit the 100million mark. Should all go well, I expect that he would. Let's just wait a little more for that official announcement.

TheSuperNerd:
I think it would be around €60million euros eventually (50million + 10 million in bonuses or something like that). But the official announcement/final transfer report will give us the exact figure eventually. Just a matter a time.

81m would have made him the Most expensive player of all time from Africa only. But 60m will see him in the top 5. For now, it's not about the price tag jare... For now, it is about the move and it being best for him.

Are u minding him. Willock and quality should not be mentioned in the same sentence and a fit Naby Keita is better than Ceballos

TheSuperNerd:
Lol..... But most of the lads in Latvia aren't products of the NPFL. Most are actually from Academies in Nigeria. Only a few like Pyagbara at Ventspils came from the NPFL.

As for the Udoh deal. Well, let him play first. 4th tier is the back of the backwaters but I hope he rises from there. Besides na transfer news anyhow or anyway on another player from Osimhen's set.

Top Italian Talent scout, Walter Sabatini speaks on Osimhen

Translated from Italian:

Courtesy: TuttoNapoli.net


To guarantee for Victor Osimhen there is also Walter Sabatini, the talent scout par excellence who over the years has found dozens of talents for Lazio, Palermo, Rome and now Bologna. From Nesta and Di Vaio to Ilicic and Pastore, Lamela, Benatia, Pjanic, Marquinhos, Manolas and Alisson and many others.

Speaking at Kiss Kiss Napoli, the current coordinator of the technical area of ​​Bologna, also spoke of the '98 class of Lille which is now very close to Naples:

"Go and get Osimhen, it's worth it! Stronger than Cavani? Well, Cavani had a particular character, but Osimhen is graceful, he has the running depth, great technique. It would be a great buy and a great regret of mine, last year I was among his tracks but I didn't have the strength to acquire it, for Bologna. It was an incongruous operation for Bologna, too demanding, but it was a player to take. If Napoli has closed I wish you the best of luck, it is a great purchase."

Absolutely yes, playing for Fulham he knows once he gets to the EPL he can quadruple his wages. Patience is a virtue.

Not all players jump at the appearance of £££ you must be strategic.

Many years ago l talked about a 18 year old Moussa Dembele here, who was at Fulham and I was given the usual negativity and bias claim . He left Fulham to Celtic a few months later during the January transfer window Chelsea offered £50 million he declined. He was looking at long term progression.

He has since gone to Lyon French league and has been outstanding for past two seasons in the top 5 goal scorers. He will be moving soon let's see. Funny his goal ratio is much has higher in the French league than when he was in the Championship.

Fulham was offered £30 million by Liverpool for Ryan Ssegnon he refused, opting to develop further.

There is a long list of players who have done similar.

I have watched Mitrovic and he will absolutely undoubtedly contend for as a striker in any top EPL team. My position remains the same.

I have a good relationship with Fulham and l can tell you for now he is not for sale many clubs have enquired but the answer is capital NO.
