forgiveness: What sentiment? You and your cohorts are the ones beclouded by sentiment because you are devoid of cognitive reasoning.
Is it not the same performance Osimhen exhibited last season that earned him a lucrative move to Napoli, also earned these likes to a move to good clubs?
Kayode Olarenwaju was the highest goalscorer and BEST player in the Austrian League and it earned him a [b]lucrative move to MAN CITY but due to sabotage by the ever envious and corrupt people in the National team that denied him opportunity to play for his father's land, hope to get work permit was cut short. [/b]The guy moved on and still joined Sharktar Doneskt who are currently in the semi finals of Europa League though he is not part of this team because he was loaned to a Turkish club. Yet the boy scored 10 goals and gave 7 assists for a team that just got promoted to the Turkish league.
Yet you and your cohorts favours a player finding it hard to play in the Bundesliga ahead of Kayode. And you have the guts to tag me sentimental, huh?
What about Solanke that was the best player in the U20 world cup and went ahead to play for Liverpool as at the time Osimhen struggled for game time in the Bundesliga? So, you expected me to choose Osimhen ahead of Solanke, ba?
Don't forget the same Solanke was bought with $24m, the same way Osimhen was bought with $$$$.
Where is Lookman? Is that question due to your ignorance or conspicuously made to mock? I believe it's out of ignorance else you wouldn't be asking for a player Leipzig coughed out $27m for his service the same way Napoli coughed out $$$$¢ to get Osimhen.
Are we not happy Osimhen was bought by such club today and rate him above some players? What should we have done when Solanke and Lookman were bought for such prices? We should cry?
I can see the reason behind your sentiments. It's not far from the normal way...Na my people better pass.
Perhaps you have some kind of bitterness for these players because of their place of origin but your problem be dat. You have to deal with it.
For your information, there was no time I rubbished Osimhen, Chuks and Iheancho. Maybe you took facts as rubbing but it's not my fault you can't distinguish between the two. Sorry
komekn: Manchester City does not have aerial prowess, why because they keep the ball on the ground and have the technicians too dominate any team filled with 7 ft footballer.
Chelsea is not the same but they don't play a game based on aerial prowess. Lille on the other hand continously drop the ball behind defenders for Victor to run on too.
That tactic will not work in the EPL in the much weaker French league a very big yes. Burnley play a strategy that requires them to have the ball in the air, and as such score more headed goals. Indeed they use the strategy of headers to control the midfield.
Tega Abrahams is very tall and most times jumps into the air and controls the ball with his chest getting more control indeed he is so good at it he often uses chest control to pass the ball. I dont think Victor can do that.
Victor is not overly technical, his skill set is based primarily on pace and aggression, good positioning in the box, anticipation as well.as finishing. Attributes that will work in French league but not in the EPL. His one on one dominance is based on pace not skill.
Indeed the EPL is evolving and moving away from the kick and rush ball over the top approach.
Finally, that aggression will work in the French league that's not so intense and physical. He is not going to scare any defender in the EPL nobody is going to be scared of him. He is not a Drogba, or a Costa or a Lukaku. He will have to use something else, what that is, l don't know.
I laugh in Lukaku, you always talk like you are the only one who watches the EPL
komekn: Actually it's the contrary, Victor being the center point and focal point of Lille, shows how poor the team is not how good.
The term team is anchored in its entirety on COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION. The opposite of that is singular responsibility and participation or focus.
When we talk about team work it's about cooperation, sharing responsibility, fusion and convergence of tasks in a collective.
Osimhen is the quintessential number 9 in Lille, everything is about him and for him in the team it's a singular approach.
Osimhen scored 13 goals in the French league one and his team 35 that's over 40% of the goals by one man. The closest person to him had 7 goals in Loic Remy.
Now compare to Chelsea 69 goals in the EPL, Tega 15, Pulisic 9, Willian 9, Giroud 8, Mount 7.
There is really nothing to discuss it's obvious as daylight unless your in darkness.
A heat map reflects more the team strategy not the individual attributes of a player.
Tega earned the right to play in Chelsea after consistent continous outstanding perfomances in the Championship and EPL over three seasons. He is proven and tested.
Everything you have written about Napoli is assumptive deduction by self birthed perception.
Finally, l asked you to name the player attributes that Victor exceeds Tega with to make him better ❓ ❓ But you could not find one. You have avoided the question.
Dead this talk, most teams build their team around one or two players. I bet Lampard wish Tammy was that reliable
Subzero047: He was playing in the division 1 when he was invited, do you want him to be discarded if he keeps playing well because his club is relegated?
He has not been invited since after AFCON, I think the only one he got was a last minute replacement for an injured player
chrisooblog: i think what they are saying is that based on current form tammy has the better stats so it would be false to say they are better. that being said i've watched greenwood and martinelli in action and I personally rate them over abraham. i foresee them surpassing tammy baring any injuries
exactly, but for now it's wrong to say they are better than him, he trumps them in all ways
Nobody said Tammy is world class but putting him below the likes of Greenwood and Martinelli is you guys not being truthful. I see Tammy in the mould of Chicharito, a fox in the box not very versatile but give him the ball in the box 18 he'll deliver for you
andrewbaba44: Werner is better than Tammy ,even haaland will not start ahead of Werner if they play for the same team
Yes Tammy is average but if a super eagles player manages to score 15 epl goals you guys will call him world class
iheanacho no even do reach that one for Man City, come see statistics upon statistics. Na small remain them almost tell us say he suppose win world best
komekn: Martinelli, Greenwood that's not proven just your preference.
Haaland has not had a full season in the Bundesliga again rated below the EPL so on this regard inconclusive. I remember Batshuayi struggling for game time in Chelsea goes to the Bundesliga and scores 7 in 10 games.
Osimhen the world class striker and darling of many on this thread. Again playing in much lower league than the EPL French league one is not on the same level as the EPL.
Scoring 13 goals in the French league is not the same as scoring 15 in the EPL. Their age difference in not even one year, so they are more or less age mates.
In this regard what attributes does Osimhen have that even if you were to make comparison that Tega has not exceeded. So in this regard a big NO.
OK, UEFA Champions League: Tammy 8 games 3 goals. Haaland 8 games 10 goals. Note that Abraham started 7 of his games as against Haaland starting 6. Abi the champions league wey Haaland play na inferior one?
ChrisKels: I think with this now, it is safe to say Ighalo is just a mere tier2 striker, since he only seems to do well in the second divisions, then chicken out at the main leagues or events. This happened in the Segunda & Laliga, it repeated itself in England(EFL & EPL). Also, internationally he only does well against the likes of Lybia, Seychelles et al, but at the main event, he chickens out for the likes of Musa to take the centre stage. He can not be a go-to man, he is a rope of sand
Neobulletzz: Oga what are you saying, una shall like to dey twist everything to una own agenda. Where did you see Top 10 dribblers in Europe. The post said Top 10 dribblers since 06/07 meaning the whole world not just Europe Bro.did the quote say in Europe only
Ben Arfa wey dey there was without a club
Iniesta that made the list was already in Japan abi that one too na Europe
Oga stop limiting everything to only Europe, no be only Europe dem dey play football The post was the whole world, Brazilian league inclusive okay. The Neymar take on you saw there was from his appearance from Brazil not just when he got to Europe okay
I know Neymar is better player than Hazard but Hazard is a better dribbler simple
Doesn't prove anything, does it also mean he's a better dribbler than Ronaldinho? Hazard first season in European football was 2008/2009 While Neymar first season was 2013/2014 that's about 5 years difference, can you see that your statistics is a bad way to judge it

Barryseal: This argument is stale but this is Willock. A 19yr old player capable of scoring screamers like this away against Liverpool is someone who you don't rate high? No disrespect, but you don't sound like a ball fan to me not to talk of Arsenal fan.
Philosopher1979: Guardiola is changing our perception of football. Guardiola is to football what einstein isvto physics or elon musk is to science. It is not about winning trophies but CHANGING THE WAY WE SEE FOOTBALL. A first class student of medicine is inferior to someone who discovers the cure for aids and corona. Guardiola is an inventor. Guardiolas ideas are inmkvative. He brought tiki taka to the premier league when everyone said it would not work. It is not about mone or titles but innovative ground breaking ideas. I rest my case
Excuse you?? Wenger didn't go a season unbeaten just to be ignored like this
