Ighalo was a bum before AFCON.
Oshimen is better in all angles save for number of years grin
That's why I said its not by early days
He was a bum that turned out to be a prolific striker

12 goals and 7 assists in 32 matches wey bring Afcon cup for the national team. Should we ignore this fact?
Wey bring which Afcon?
He was not the only player in that Afcon and was not even our best player to begin with stop overrating him

We have natural wingers it's a no brainier to take a Moses that doesn't have any stat as a winger over them

So far, Osimhen has been good , his early days is better than that of Ighalo.

Talent, skill and SE style, Osimhen is better.

Here and Now too, Osimhen is better.

Ighalo should enjoy his pension
When we're done with the qualifiers and he comes out tops until then we still need Ighalo

It's not by early days

Can you explain how he then managed to offer us AFCON cup playing as a winger?
The other players came for fashion parade abi

Playing as a Winger in the Afcon he scored only 2 penalties, is that your definition of single-handedly giving us Afcon?

He could have gone because we saw Mikel go to Chelsea.
However, life is all about opportunity. He got his and utilized it.
The point is Victor Moses is better than the wingers we have for now.
The point is that he doesn't offer anything as a Winger

Which Wikipedia? I knew he scored 100 goals as a young boy. I can still remember he scored overhead kick in the championship.

Victor Moses started out as a striker. So, all those things you wrote don't add up.


Your claim that he was privilege because of.....has been debunked. Fact
undecided
Debunked how?

If he started his career in Nigeria and eventually gets the attention of European scouts, he wouldn't go straight away to the Premier League but to a team where he would have been tested as a Winger since that's the reason he was signed but we both know how it would turn out
If he was as good as you're pointing him out to be his position wouldn't have been changed don't you think undecided

I followed Moses from when he was 14 years old and that when was he came into limelight after he scored 50 goals for Crystal palace U14 team. He later went on to score 100 goals for the same side in 3 years and won laurels for the team singlehandedly.

Due to his performance over 3 years, Crystal palace promoted him to the first team eventhough he was just 16 year old and he didn't disappoint.

That season, after he got promoted to the team, he played consistently and was part of crystal palace team that lost in the playoffs to the EPL.


Can you now explain how he was privilege to be in the English system?

He worked for it.
Just give me the Wikipedia link instead of this copy and paste na

With that said, Why didn't he replicate this form when he was older? if he is that good a winger then 7 league goals season should not be a problem don't you think?

And to answer your question, If he started his career in Nigeria and eventually gets the attention of European scouts, he wouldn't go straight away to the Premier League but to a team where he would have been tested as a Winger since that's the reason he was signed but we both know how it would turn out

Is that not privilege enough

well ighalo is not a proven goal scorer for super eagles. He messed up Naija at Russia 2018 world cup
You say wetin cheesy

Highest goal scorer in an Afcon qualifiers and the highest goal scorer in the tournament proper is not good enough for you.

Iheanacho that was starting ahead of him in the world cup didn't mess up abi?

it will take more than 3 bad matches to say he is not proven

What stopped Onyekuru from doing well in Ligue 1?

The fact that big team wants Zaha proves the attributes are there.
So which big team has he gone to now?

That's the same way we hear big teams like Liverpool, Atletico, Valencia and even Barcelona want Chukwueze isn't it?

That was in response to your second paragraph.

Now let me address the first. Let the aforementioned players win Afcon, EPL (or any of the top 5 leagues) and Europa first before they can be better than Vic Moses.

How about that?
This is why I said this

You think if Vicmo was a Nigerian player first before he featured for any English youth team, you think he would have gotten to the level he is?
Victor Moses was only Privileged to be in the English football system because he is mediocre in the position he claims is his natural that's why Conte turned him into a defensive player because he contributes literally nothing going forward

Onyekuru's dribbles are productive as we've seen with Onyekuru and unlike Moses that only dribbles to throw in or goal kick.

Did Onyekuru win the Afcon, Europa and any of the top five leagues? If not, he is yet to play at the highest level but Vicmo has done that.

Don't forget Vicmo is going to play in the Europa League.

Either way, throughout their football career and last season, Vicmo was better.
let Vicmo score 7 league goals in a season before we can say that he is better than the rest grin

Philosopher1979:
In my opinion, i prefer Victor Osimhen. Osimhen is more mobile and agile and his off
the ball work is better. He is also more involved in build up.
Ighalo cannot function without a midfield while Osimhen can still function without a midfield
Osimhen's pressing is also better (Check out his goal against Valencia. It was not even a pass from his player but a wrong pass from the opposing team).
Most coaches will prefer Osimhen because of his hard working all action style.
Ighalo is still a good player though
At the bolded
The best coach in the world starts Aguero over Jesus and Brazil starts Jesus ahead of Firmino

No Coach will pick a potent and proven goal scorer over an unproven goalscorer because of his work rate

is it the midfield of Iwobi, Etebo that helped Ighalo get his goals?

Victor Moses that has never scored 7 league goals a season in any top flight league after almost 10 years

Truth is only Conte rates him because he fits in in his style of play, when his loan deal expires at the end of the month (31 Aug) and he doesn't get another extension, no top team will go for him

Was he even a first team player that year? Playing badly for Chelsea in his first and only season as a winger doesn't tantamount to being a bad winger in the premier League because we saw his performance before and after he left Chelsea in the same premier League.
He is not good enough as winger with only 16 goals in 113 matches huh
Check out Onyekuru's stats as a winger and he is just 23, Moses just doesn't have the stats to prove that he is a good winger

He left when the ovation was relatively high....I think he should forget SE

He's very much needed

He's a proven striker for the SE and if he should play for us again he will start ahead of Osimhen that's unproven

He scored 10 goals and assisted 5 times in his first season as a winger. Is that mediocre?

In the winning season, he didn't play as a winger. In fact, his first season was the first and last time he played majorly as a winger. The other two seasons he played as a wing back before Sarri came.
In that first season he scored only 1 goal in 24 league matches this is mediocre, with the rest of his goals coming from Europa, community shield and CL

My point is that he is better defensively and that is why he was a starter under conte not because he contributes anything notable offensively

Maybe you didn't watch Vicmo during his days at Wigan athletic before he went to Chelsea.

Don't forget, he was crucial to Chelsea winning the Europa as a winger. is that not being successful?
What now happened when he went to Chelsea? did somebody switch off his ability to cross the ball?

I'm not taking anything from him, he was part of our winning squad but he's offensive attributes were simply mediocre there is no way to sugar coat it

In the Premier League winning season he had only 2 assists in 34 matches despite his ability to cross with both feet and probably his head

The say a picture can say a thousand words and of so then what about a video.

Let's not be comedic, but how will a player playing Wing or Wing back and not be able to cross the ball in the EPL.

The video clips shows Victor crossing with both feet left and right foot crosses from the Wing. And that's in Seria A so it's very recent.

A very basic skill that our current wingers seem to struggle with.
You dropped a 3 minutes video that showed his successful attempts at it but if you followed his time with Chelsea he was terrible at crossing the ball to the extent that he only completed 20% of his 578 attempts

Moses as Wing back was only successful in the defensive aspect of it

PPG controversy: Rivers United insist on second position


The Rivers State Commissioner for Sports, Boma Iyaye, has dispelled rumours that Rivers United had agreed a deal with the Nigeria Football Federation to accept its decision on the interpretation of the Point-Per-Game calculation for the 2019/20 season.


The League Management Company applied the Weight-Point-Per-Game calculation to declare Enyimba second on the domestic league log ahead of Rivers who were earlier runners-up to leaders Plateau United after PPG was used.
It means Enyimba will represent Nigeria in the CAF Champions League while Rivers will campaign in the less -prestigious Confederation Cup.


Rivers, however, rejected the decision and have vowed to fight till the end for justice. Speaking while inspecting the reconstruction works at the mainbowl and training pitches of the Adokiye Amiesimaka Sports Complex in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, Iyaye said reports in the media didn’t reflect the true position of what transpired at their virtual meeting with the NFF.


He disclosed that the virtual meeting had the NFF president, Amaju Pinnick; LMC boss, Shehu Dikko; Permanent Secretary, Rivers sports ministry, Honour Sirawoo; General Manager, Rivers United, Okey Kpalukwu and himself in attendance.

"Rivers United did not at any time agree with the NFF on anything and that definitely is not what transpired at the meeting. During the virtual meeting, there were lots of arguments on our stand; that we remain in the second position, which we rightfully deserve,”

iyaye said in a statement by the state sports ministry’s press officer, Daniel Nwankwoala.

"We called on them to obey their own rules, which guide the NPFL. We also talked about how the LMC used an inconclusive head-to-head, which ran contrary to the rules. We x-rayed the situation in other leagues across the world in the realisation that FIFA and CAF do not interfere in the domestic operations of its affiliates.

So, Rivers United will not accept injustice, we are ready to pursue it anywhere; the rules must be followed and NFF knows what to do. Amaju Pinnick said he is consulting with FIFA and CAF, we cannot accept injustice and it will be vigorously pursued".
