Official: Osimhen misses Nigeria games in October

Osimhen excused from Nigeria's friendlies in the light of the Covid situation in the Serie A as Osimhen isolates on the directives of the local health authorities in Naples.


Osimhen's replacement has been contacted and called up.

His name is Ebere Paul Onuachu, Goals King Of Belgium.

Subzero047:
See them

ChrisKels:
Don't know whats wrong with him, he switches off way too much

Subzero047:
Adarabiayo is already famzing us

ChrisKels:
Benrhama has really dealt with our boy, Aina.

ChrisKels:
That's how we roll bro

TheSuperNerd:
Cry not. We won't get them all. If he honors it and debuts for them, well, I wish him the best. He is a fine lad with a very high ceiling.

But when I remember we have another rising quality player in Chidera Ejuke also on the left then I just smile and say, "We move".

andrewbaba44:
I will agree after I see the end of this season

3 goals in 4 games already

Haaland we are watching you

I would ask you to first of all remove the log of wood from your eyes before you take out the the speck of dust from mine.

You are hypocritically immersed in emotive sentiment.

I have used the word CONTEXT several times but some here find it difficult to comprehend.

We have two clubs Slavia Prague and FC Midtjylland both are in leagues rated 15 or thereabouts in Europe. On the same level as the Scottish Premier league which is held to be on par with English league one.

Having that thought in mind.

When English football league One, Ipswich beat and Bristol Rovers 2-0. A number of player ratings were over 7.5, did that automatically make those players EPL quality.

Back to the word CONTEXT, in the context of that low league match they were outstanding and at that level. But it doesn't mean they are on EPL level quality performance.

So we have two low level teams from two low-level leagues. A players may get a 7.9 rating in this match with low level peers. We must therefore keep matter in the contextual perspective of the level of the league.

In this regard, Frank Onyeka getting a 8+ rating Is not the same as Busquet or Casemiro getting a 5.5 in El Clasico. That doesn't equate him to La Liga outstanding standard and quality.

I do not look at a player in isolation but holistically and with all things in consideration. With that in mind I found nothing exceptional from Frank Onyeka but found a few sparks with Olayinka. Again it's a somewhat easier to shine as a forward player comparative to a DM.

All said and done why has Frank Onyeka remained for the past four seasons, earning a pittance at this low level league in Denmark. If he is so good according to some here. He should be on the radar of multiple clubs in Europe by now.

If you go back l alluded to this somewhat.

You may find it hard to believe but l talk from experiential knowledge.

A club will converge statistics with thier view of the player. Their view will be formed by a number of questions, Will he fit into our style of play, does he have the physical attributes we require, What's his consistency like, How good is he, Mentality, Good value ££, Is he better than what we have, etc, etc ❓ Sometimes somebody likes you and or your agent is in the loop. Football politics.

Joe Linton has poor statistics but Newcastle believed he would fit into their system and style of play. I personally consider him a flop.

If you notice for several years l have not encouraged black players to go to Burnley. Thats part of my experiential knowledge.

sheyishemba:
There is no problem for aina he can play as a LB prolly deputizing for sanusi

Stormtrooper11:
I'm not arguing anything.i just said we noticed few guys declined thats all.

Transfer News: Ademola Lookman joins Fulham

Lookman signs for Fulham on loan from RB Leipzig.
It's a one year loan deal.


“After the conversations I had with Scott Parker, I got a great feeling, that's the working relationship I want to have. He’s young and hungry and I’m young and hungry as well so it’s a good match.” - @Alookman_



Welcome back to England, Lookman.

komekn:
I used the description " Flash in the pan" if you call him a big game player, you are CONFIRMING his handicap, INCONSISTENCY.

I will not buy a player who only turn-up on big games.

In this regard it is SIMPLISTIC.

Stormtrooper11:
I ain't say naija give 'em badluck,but we notice a decline in few players.E.g iwobi and ebuehi

komekn:
It's very simplistic better players go to better clubs.

A club will consider multiple players and choose that one that best suits thier playing style, has most potential, best transfer cost, is he better than what we have, etc.

Dennis scored a brace very correct, but he did not make a consistent impression in his league.
It's possible that clubs looked at him as a a flash in the pan.

Osimhen generated a lot of interest because he performed.

Olulong:
@Bolded it's because he's foreign born, at 28 he's looking younger than some African players who're supposed to be younger than him. He looks good also, Calm and composed.

Danielnino00:
I agree with this..
I remember one time when Salah was abused by Liverpool fans after he tried to wrestle the ball from Milner to take a penalty..
That was during the season he and Mane were doing selfishness competition...

chrisooblog:
no sugar coating it chukwueze dropped a disasterclass in the first half. needs to wise up with his game cos he's becoming a predictable one trick pony. really annoyed because I think he can do much better

Subzero47:
I think he will make a finer CB, he is not really keen on playing the ball but his positional awareness and aerial ability are excellent

mowah:
Lol na true bro, Nigeria has always had this goalkeeping issues for over 15 years now, Enyeama just masked it, remember those days it wasn’t him between the sticks how shaky it used to be, but why won’t we have such issues when the grassroot is faulty, In Nigeria na the most otu player wey wan play by force dey do keeper in grassroot football, that’s how Uzoho became a goalkeeper sef, when I visit some academies here in Lagos, the goalkeepers are the most ignored when it comes to technical training.

tbaba1234:
Tijani has not emerged yet... He is in development, still a long way to go.

Ofoborh has been playing CB.

Danielnino00:
If na Burnley score Chelsea 3-0 for half time,na game over abeg

West Brom need to make some better signings..

I just hope Ajayi has a good season so he won't go back to the championship with them..

daveP:
Their style and tactical approach will definitely not be the modern way. And that alone is.....

wayodude:
He's just trolling! It's allowed. Not worth of starting an argument. In fact I have a friend who plays for Egham town, mostly on the bench though. I think Rohr should give him a run-out before he hits fame and England snatches him

Egham town Only good enough to hold be bench in its place We aff suffad!

Danielnino00:
Iheanacho scores against lowly rated clubs in the league cup
Komekn: is means nothing, cup games are meaningless. He scored against a low team

Tammy scores against a lowly rated team in the league cup
Komekn: give him the balon d'or please, he is the best player in the world
