And what is better about this one?

Poor journalism or what do I call it?

Race For 'Nigerian Golden Shoe' : Osimhen Is The Man To Beat (Top Six Players)

Published: May 23, 2019

Race For 'Nigerian Golden Shoe' : Osimhen Is The Man To Beat (Top Six Players)
Victor Osimhen bagged a brace for Sporting Charleroi in their 2-1 road win against Kortrijk at the Guldensporenstadion on Wednesday evening, cancelling out Imoh Ezekiel's opener in the first half before netting the game-winner nine minutes after the restart.

Following his brace in what could be his final game as a Sporting Charleroi player, the Wolfsburg loanee took his tally for the season to 18 goals from 33 appearances, and is the highest rated Nigerian player in the European Golden Shoe rankings with 27 points.

Osimhen has scored one goal more than FC Midtjylland's Paul Onuachu, who is the second highest rated Nigerian player with 25.5 points.

The Danish-based striker has one final chance to overtake Osimhen in the Golden Shoe rankings, on Sunday when the 2018 champions host Esbjerg.

Osimhen and Onuachu are followed by Galatasaray's Henry Onyekuru and FC Luzern's Blessing Eleke who have sent the ball into the back of the net 14 and 13 times respectively this season.

Though Galatasaray and Luzern have one more game to play in their respective leagues, it is mission impossible for the duo in their bid to surpass Osimhen's goal tally.

Trabzonspor's Anthony Nwakaeme and FC Zurich's Stephen Odey are joint fifth with 22.5 points, having scored ten goals each.

Stephen Odey - 10 goals - 15 points

sure likewise the effort of a tap in merchants....still being recorded as goals.
I see a tap in merchant as players with good positioning...players who learn to be at the right place at the right time.

There's limit for tap in merchant.

Humility017:
I tell you or a workaholic player running round the pitch with no end result

But there are many who scores and assist despite being workaholic.

BascoVanVeli:
I feel Victor can handle Milan but I just believe that Ajax is this place to go if he wants to keep improving as a player.

Millan wants to buy him and loan him out to Lille.

realpoacher:
Clap, clap, clap for Victor Osimehen

This a Striker. Not that waste of Ighalo.

Victor has the height, Posture and Agility of a complete striker. Only one person he reminds me of is Rashidi Yekini of blessed Memory

I have always known this boy to be a Goal poacher right from his U17 world Cup days when he was scoring goals for fun


God please i pray, whatsoever be the hindrance or stumbling blocks that have prevented our starlets from transfering their age group talent into SE, die by fire in Jesus name. You will never see osimehen career to kill in Jesus name. Osimehen you are covered by the blood of Jesus.

See striker abeg

Osimhen is yet to reach Ighalo's level. Allow the boy grow.

That was how Moses was frustrated out of the National team despite all he singlehandedly did.

zoboizee:
Osimhen is a more deadly finisher than ighalo. His shooting technique is superior. But Ighalo is more skillful. And onyekuru has improved a lot. Anyone watching his games recently will observe that. He is more of a team player now than he was in Belgium.

That's true. I noticed that in the two games I saw him played.

BascoVanVeli:
Victor Osimhen's brace and Imoh Ezekiel's goal. All of good quality

Hmmm! Technical goal. Totally different from a tap in merchant.

charlesemeka85:
and you will be the one to stop. 2nd coming of awolowo!

When I said you are a tribal bingo, you thought I was joking?

See your life.

It will be stopped and you will cry tire because it will no longer favour anyone.

charlesemeka85:
bros the mofo is very annoying. i just wish i will see him one on one someday

What will you do? Hahahaha!

charlesemeka85:
kayode and awoniyi who werent considered for a place in the team accepted it in good faith and are working hard to attract the team selectors for subsequent call up and here you are killing yourself for nothing sake

How do you know they accepted the injustice and the selective selection going on in the national team?


I have told you, it will soon stop.

charlesemeka85:
thank God you know he never deserved to wear the colors of the almighty super eagles so benin republic,togo or niger will appreciate having him on their ranks. tozo!

Deserve? Is that word functioning or in existence in the super eagles?

Tribal bingo.

charlesemeka85:
its very obvious that everyone is the thread knows who is myopic and sentimental when it comes to players from certain regions. i hold nothing against your favourites but for them not to get a chance in the afcon team that means they arent good enough. so go hang your self!

Merely saying a player is not good enough doesn't really mean he is not good enough.

Most of those who think I am myopic and sentimental are simply or perhaps family from one or two geographic expression. No surprise.

charlesemeka85:
and who is the one sounding like a novice here you tribalistic bigot. if heaven will fall cus the likes of awoniyi,ajagun and kayode didnt make the afcon team let it fall. kayode that can't boast of 10 goals since moving to ukraine na em u no want make we hear word here for the past 1 week. Bleep off!

You are the tribalist here. You support is ethnic based not objective.

If none of your tribe is in the national team, I believe you will never be on this thread.

Like I said, you don't know anything. You are a big novice.

Icon4s:
Now, this is where you guys got it wrong.

Firstly, if you have been long enough on this thread you will know I am not a '' Fan Boy'' of Iheanacho. In fact I am not a Fan boy of any player. I will say the only player I have a soft spot for is Alex Iwobi and this is due to my status as an Arsenal fan. So I can hammer any player here without blinking. I am only for excellence and not mediocrity.

Secondly, can you categorically tell me that Ahmed Musa had a better season leading to the WC than Iheanacho had this season. Musa that was kept out of Leicester's match day squads for months and was demoted to the U23s. The last time Musa did anything of note in the national team was then 2014 WC. He was abysmal during the 2018WCQ as he only got cameo appearances in some games.

I know how you guys criticised Musa's inclusion here but some of us still had Faith in his abilities because we know what he can do if he hits full gear.

Now on Iheanacho, the coach has selected him amongst the 25. Yes, he didn't have a good season but he is a lot better than how Musa was leading to the 2018 WC. Like I said before, you cannot discredit his world Cup experience because he featured prominently in it even though he didnt score a single goal. You and I know what Iheanacho can do if he hits gear.


For me if Iheanacho can apply himself well and fit into the coach's philosophy he should be in Egypt.

The bolded is big joke.

charlesemeka85:
this your sentimental argument don do. cry from now till next year kayode's super eagles career is over and i wont be surprised if shaktar sell him soon.

Did he even have any career with Super Eagles?

You don't know anything about sporting talent, how can I argue with a novice?

Humility017:
hahaha...pls don't compare both.
go to everton sports site to see how the fans fancy Henry...they long to have him in their squad...

had it been not for work permit issues he would go to England next season...

don't compare both...Henry is Everton best players on Loan same can't be said of Koyode

Oh! You can figure work permit is an obstacle.

jihday:
they bought another Brazilian who was loaned straight to girona, plus quite a number of their academy players

Chelsea buys players and send them to Vitesse and other clubs. Does it mean they bought the players for them?

Lucque:
Impossible... Unless he somehow improves upon his current level... Ryt now. .no bench for him

Which improve?

chrisooblog:
stop trying to change subject kayode is the basis of our discussion. why was kayode loaned and later sold at the first opportunity if guardiola fancied him as you claimed?

If only you can tell me why Onyekuru never trained with Everton.

safarigirl:
that something is on the net doesn't mean its the truth

We can distinguish.

jihday:
no mind forgiveness, Pep's brother and City co-own the club, guess that's why they bought Kayode, he was bought for girona

Did Manchester City buy players for Girona?

chrisooblog:
we are not talking about onyekuru but about kayode. according to you pep fancied him yet he didn't train with the team went on loan and at the first opportunity he was sold no buy clause no resale value that's why manchester city were ashamed to disclose how much shaktar bought him

I am making you to make use of your head.

Why hasn't Onyekuru trained with common Everton?

safarigirl:
so na you don dey share bed with Pep now wey you sabi am like this.

It was on the net.

safarigirl:
yes

If they have excess funds, they buy anybody and then sift through the players later on.

It's like when you have too much money and you enter market with it, a lot of times, you end up buying some things that look attractive st first glance, but after a while, you will realise they really aren't useful to you.

Samr with coaches. Someone gave Pep a lot of money and he splurged on players, including the ones that at first glance, looked attractive. He realized after the splurge, that he didn't need some players

The current history of Austrain league best players doing well in top leagues prompted scouts to recommend Kayode to Manchester City.

Infact, Pep studied his game for a while before he sanctioned the move.

You don't go to the market and buy players.

chrisooblog:
somebody was bought immediately sent on loan after loan coach no even talk about you again how do analyze that?

Why didn't Onyekuru train with Everton?

andrew444:
Player wey dem buy wey no play say that one na buy ?

He was bought. EOD

andrew444:
No be the one wey dem dey loan out

Do kayode even knows the colour of mancity stadium ?

Oga! He was loaned out because of work permit. How come you are ignorant about this?

andrew444:
Not my opinion

But the world opinion because you go tell me who e go bench for there

Manchester City didn't agree with you, the reason they bought Kayode.

andrew444:
He won't sir ,no be guardiola be the coach ?

If fit manage agree with the bench ,but abeg no go that first team side

Who he better pass for first team ?

Should I remind you mahrez is a 60million player not starting ?

Do you think coaches just buy players without checking if they fit into their philosophy?

andrew444:
Naby Keita will not make mancity

Simple and clear

Your opinion.

andrew444:
Na today then dey buy player loose money ?

Pep guardiola bought a Brazilian named kierrison from palmerias for the sum of 14 million euros he didn't even make Barca bench for one day

Kayode will make Manchester City team.
