According to Oma Akatugba Who dropped the exclusives on Osimhen's Medicals being done and transfer update which he said would be made official by Tuesday or latest wednesday, Vic could be costing Napoli €81 million euros.

Likely breakdown is €50 million + Adam Ounas (worth €31million) OR €51 million euros + Adam Ounas (worth €30million).

Now that's an African record if confirmed officially.


And I think it's really cool Vic is permitting his entourage to give the privilege of exclusive info around his transfer to a Nigerian Journalist of international standing but not only because of that. It's because they have a good relationship and an understanding. That's some fine home bond. A brotherhood thing. Class act from Vic.

So other Journos looking to get an exclusive bite off the transfer of Vic would inevitably reference Oma.

Ladies and Gentlemen.... The transfer drama is about to come to a sweet end and a new chapter shall truly begin for our Super Lad, Osimhen. Stay tuned.
I like the fact that he's giving Oma the exclusive gist, many Nigerian journalist have complained about the attitude of our players, specifically Ndidi they said he doesn't grant interviews to local journalist.

Agreed without reservation.

When you take out the money all the dynamics have changed.

Why is KC languishing doing nothing for the past three seasons the money. Look at his transfer fee and wages.

Who is going to buy him in the EPL knowing that the return as a striker will be very poor. He can't go anywhere because nobody will pay him the same money.


Paul Pogba came with great expectations big money more expectations. You must PERFORM week in week out no excuse.

Isaac Success is own case is another level indiscipline and bad behaviour. He will be on at least £30k a week.

Which team even in La Liga will pay him that money to do nothing. He will stay in Watford intl the last day of his contract.

Ozil situation at Arsenal they don't want him but who is going to £350k a week for inconsistency and very limited impact. They are stuck with him until contract expires.
Here we go again

At the end, it was not to be the better side but the lucky side.

Congrats to them, they won the game. Now on the way forward, you dont want Arsenal or Arteta building a career based on that. They need to be a formidable side that can go toe-to-toe with top sides in play.

I will praise Arteta when he can get Arsenal to do that instead of parking bus.
He'll start doing that when he has 1 billion pounds to buy players

Do not agree one bit with your analysis, Arsenal GK was immense, the whole Arsenal team were excellent. The poor team here was Manchester City in every area. Compare their loss to that of Liverpool's.

Manchester City lacked intelligence, didn't know what to do with ball, even De Bruyne at one point seemed surprised when he got the ball in the box. Never looked like scoring.

Liverpool created big chances, showed good intelligence and very good positioning against this same Arsenal tactic but their players were complacent and unlucky.
Exactly

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.
So you expect arsenal with a far inferior squad to go toe to toe with city abi? So you go use them wipe floor, I see. Arteta's game plan was near perfect, the Liverpool game had luck written on it but this one is a result of a well orchestrated tactical play

The Segunda is very poor financial league as well as low quality.

It is not by any means in the standard or quality of the Championship.

Now we are talking about players playing in leagues that are rated 35+ and many consider it bias and favoritism to talk about players in English league one.

What's shocking if you look at the way Huesca is set up they are poorer than many not just a few league one clubs.

The team is made up of free transfers, loan players and a very few paid transfers. And this dude Nwakali keeps getting talked about here.

I remember years ago l talked about Fred Onyedinma as a prospect and l got dogs abuse and still do from some. This is a player who refused to play for Millwall and voluntarily decided to drop to league one with Wycombe Wanderers. A players who declined transfer offers to QPR and Watford.

But it's considered bias and favoritism towards English origin players on my part by some.

That's naked blatant bigoted double standard and hypocrisy.

Uzoho - APOEL (Cyprus Protathlima)

Okoye - Sparta Rotterdam (Dutch Eredivisie)

Alampasu - Ventspils (Latvian Virsliga)

My wish is all are starters and the rest will follow. Uzoho is expected to start. Alampasu is growing into a starter for his team. Hopefully Okoye fights his way to the #1 role at Sparta. Mad competition for the Super Eagles Gloves will resume where it left off. grin
Is Uzoho fully fit?

Lol. I get you. You are right. That's the only age grade title missing from our cabinet. With Samson Tijani (Salzburg), Amoo (Hammarby), Ishaq Abdulrazak (Norrkoping), and a couple more, I think we will have a solid base to build a strong U-20 side that can try make this dream come true.
First, we need to confirm our U-20 coach.
These ones can be added but I think the core of the team should be true teenagers that have experienced top flight football either with our local league or foreign league

yes Argentina were my honorable mentions. can't believe a team that has had the likes of messi, aguero, tevez, zanetti, crespo, simeone, ayala, caniggia, redondo to mention a few haven't won a world cup in 30 plus years
I agree with your list but Italy too should get a shout out for over achievers, squad always not so great, struggle with qualifiers but somehow always turn up for the big event. Tunisia is another underachiever in Africa, great league,organized football, regularly blaze through qualifiers almost always qualify for WC but hardly impress during Afcon or the WC tournament itself, only Afcon title was on home soil where they could have easily lost to us in the semis

Tottenham do not need to offer a better deal, they just need to negotiate a good deal with Napoli. For instance, Arsenal paid Pepe's deal in installments.

On salary, if Osimhen was moving to Napoli because of the money, the deal would have been long done, so he might be willing to take a pay cut for his dream EPL move.
another angle here, but I still seriously doubt Spur will make an offer

I had same thoughts until June 20. He sure sounded like a typical Nigerian coach here. Just look at who he is recommending to us


"Ngoo is the top assist provider in Tirana and one of the top scorers. In the game yesterday against Vllaznia Shkoder he scored one goal and gave two assists, " said Egbo to allnigeriasoccer.com.

"Any player can be called up from any league, I lost my spot in the national team when I moved to Albania because the coaches see it as a small league, they don't know how developed and massive it is.

"There are Nigerian strikers doing well in Albania, Kyrian Nwabueze who has an American passport was the top scorer in the league before he got injured, so you have a lot of them wondering why they are not invited.


"They should be invited because they are good players and should be given an opportunity."

Egbo added : "I believe Ngoo is good enough for the national team, he played in the Liverpool Academy with Raheem Sterling" - See person reasoning grin

"He has the experience and grew up in a good environment, he is tall, almost two meters, very strong, good one vs one. We have to give every citizen a chance"


Just imagine this man urging us to invite Alabanian league players to the national team. Abeg he should focus on his club football, we can only wish him well from here
huh! See talk na. If this one become coach he'll invite players from Pakistani league sef

The possibility of this happening is there, no doubt. But that would mean Spurs coughing out a better offer financially and guaranteeing enough gametime. And I think gametime would be the main issue plus the fact of spending so high on a young lad that would be backup striker for Kane. Personal terms agreement may also be a little hitch.

Osimhen to Spurs with Kane there is just slim unless Mou is gonna play two up top which I doubt. Or unless he plans a strict rotation policy. Mou has always majorly played with one main striker per first XI.


The possibility remains but I don't see Osimhen to Spurs happening unless Spurs can outdo Napoli on most terms offered to the lad with a strong written promise of playing time guaranteed too. Plus there is the matter of his transfer fee. They gotta match or slightly overmatch Napoli's. And then there is Osimhen himself. Would he dump a side that has shown enough to let him know how so very important he's gonna be for them? Time will tell.
the possibility is there but it's very low. Daniel Levy can't cough out 50-60mill for a high risk player like Osimhen, he's very economical plus the fact that they are paying for their new stadium and no UCL football for them. Whoever is thinking Spur can buy Osimhen should just dead that tot
