Victor Osimhen, The Monster Machine: In the Words of others...

FT. Mina Rzouki who used to be one of Osimhen's doubters back then.

ADL reading all these and licking his lips ahead of summer transfer

charlesemeka85:
12 epl goals since 2 seasons ago?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Una no Dey shame here oo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

the Perez wey you dey hype have 12 over 4 seasons starting 50 games within that period 🙄

charlesemeka85:
una too like to defend certain players. Iheanacho hv been awful few times Rodgers have him a chance and the likes of aging Vardy,Daka and Perez before he left for Spain hv been than him

Iheanacho only shines against championship,league 1 and 2 clubs in the carabao and Fa cup

Perez? Daka? I feel you guys just want to criticize Iheanacho just because you want to. If you want to compare with anybody not even those 2 clowns especially Perez

benji93:
I apologize for that exaggeration. . But it should be for Iheanacho, after all, he's really good.

yup he’s good, the numbers agree with that

benji93:
Are you serious? Are you comparing Iheanacho to Daka now? Shame no even dey catch you.

why ? Thought playing against league 1 farmers is easy and can guarantee you a hattrick?

Daka who is Rodgers preferred starter have played 17 epl games starting 9 of them and scoring just 3 goals with 3 assists while Nacho have played 14 starting just 1 with 1 goal and 1 assist. I know who the problem is and it’s not Iheanacho.

Niger beat Ghana 2-0 to knock them out of the ongoing CHAN tournament

benji93:
. Unbelievable. If you dey play against fourth-tier teams you better score. Even 1 goal is not impressive. He should be scoring a hat trick.

Daka started yesterday’s game I wonder why he didn’t score at least 1 goal before Iheanacho came to rescue them. I really hope you guys are just joking with these football takes because sometimes it sound very ridiculous

Zaidu is Portuguese League Cup Winner 2023

Played 12mins+ as Porto beat Sporting CP 2-0 to lift the title.

this is the only title Porto have never won in their history, they changed that today

Kog45:
IWOFA LENU in Yoruba land is insult and mostly used by women during verbal altercation.... Lookman replied yes to a question that will you pip Osimhen on goal chart does not deserve such replied.

haba, in this context it is not an insult

Marjoribanks:
Your EPL are filled with mediocre coaches except the big teams!

Osimhen have replied Lookman

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I will never understand this African mentality talk

Sean Dyche will be Iwobi’s new coach

Mujtahida:
Why? Would it be a dangerous narrative to say Nigeria is a corrupt country?

imagine you in America holidaying then you meet police who decided to arrest you before conducting any investigation just because in the previous month they’ve convicted 10 Nigerians for fraud

benji93:
I know some pundits/football analysts can be annoying and damn sometimes outrageous with their takes, but at least quote one of those in your submissions, not some random person on Twitter whose statements only remotely aligns with your opinion .

Now Leicester is to blame for his bad performances? Of course, it always comes down to the fact that their teams are just damn bad. Shame no even dey catch you to talk am. . You come still get mouth to talk say him salary na 90K, so no team go take am, without acknowledging that salary is in general based on performance from one year to another. You cannot understand that no other team in the premier league thinks he's playing 90K football.

Besides, when someone posts something on Twitter, check references and be sure the stats are useful before you post them.
Attached are Iheanacho's stats at Leicester starting from 2017/2018. The most important stats are his goals in the premier league. Sorry, I don't take his goals against league 1 and championship teams in the EFL cup seriously. If you are that good score against your mates in the Premier League. As you can see his minutes per G/A are 137.2, 185.2, 106.9, 104, 139.9, and 144.5. I could only attach four pictures. You can check the rest yourself. You can see an improvement between 2017/2018 and 2020/2021 seasons and a decline after the 2020/2021 season.

this statistics is a bit dishonest, 2020/2021 season aside he was barely starting games

TheGoodJoe:

As long as he focuses on improving their play, results with time will favor Finidi.

or maybe he’s just a poor coach

Mujtahida:
It is an error to think this way as far as the issue of age is concerned. Is there a culture of age cheating in Europe? A person will even be foolish to doubt a person's age in Europe because records are kept at birth.

In Nigeria, I'd rather doubt a player's age than willy nilly believe his age. The difference is culture. Not about whether a particular player is truly this age or that age.

'One of them, a prophet of their own, said, 'Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.' - Titus 1 v 2.

That's Paul referencing what is a cultural judgment about the cretans. Does that mean all Cretans are liars? No. But it means that mendacity is a cultural norm and they have no regards for truth.

In the same vein we have a culture of age cheating. It's in all aspects of our national life. So I wonder why this self righteous angst whenever the doubters raise their voices.

this is a very dangerous narrative

Blueelf:
Loll

I hate to be that guy but if this dude is 18 then I am 68

TheSuperNerd:
Interestingly, I was already preparing something on this lad before you asked this question. Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag.

Like Lesley Ugochukwu, here is another one with Naija heritage but raised in the French system.

Aside the wikipedia info of him moving to France at age 3 and being born in Lagos to Naija parents (Similar case to Yossoufa Moukoko of Dortmund, born in Cameroun and moved to Europe early under Adoption), what we need know is that he is a promising young striker who bagged 24 goals in the French U17 National championships in 2020/21. A left footed forward who stands at an impressive height for a 16 year old: 1.85m.

Belongs to the class of 2006's "French" Generation Next alongside PSG's Warren Zaire-Emery.


More info digging shows his Father is a Business Owner in Nigeria while his mum works for a restaurant.

George has 3 younger brothers and a sister. He and his immediate junior were born in Nigeria while the rest of his siblings were born in France.
He says he got into football because of his Athletic uncles from his maternal side. Idolised CR7 and Mbappe.



His goal against Maja's Girondins Bordeaux made him the first 2006-born to score a goal in any of the top 5 European leagues and their 2nd divisions. A Pioneer.

He did this at age 16 years, 4 months and 28 days.

So what are our chances with this lad? Time will tell but he does seem to recognise his Nigerian roots.

Here is a clip reel of the lad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie18eAebq3I

He will turn 17 much later in the summer.





P.S: I only hope, unlike Moukoko, he doesn't turn out a little older than his age currently states. Moukoko have been found out to be 22 and not 18 in actuality due to documents provided by his grand dad according to report findings. Their kasala.

Ilenikhena's story so far shows he may truly be his age and all. So yep, another prospect.

this Moukoko case is funny, so when he was 10 him mama tell am say he’s 6 and he believe

TheSuperNerd:
This is Tobi Adeyemo. Born in Hackney, London.

Abeg, no ask me question relating to his Phenotypical appearance. I no be him Papa.

i don kuku stop to dey doubt anybody’s age, if you say this boy was born in ojuelegba people will be saying you wanted to type 71 and not 17

Danielnino00:
Just a few days ago, he was subtly saying Osimhen might have removed a few years from his age .

few days ago? He said it just now, saying he could be older than a 28 years old Dessers

take this mf very far away from the super eagles

Danielnino00:
Morocco have pulled out of the CHAN because of their diplomatic feud with Algeria..
Algeria said they won't open their airspace to them just for a CHAN tournament,that they should use another country to connect to Algeria,they refused...

I don't expect CAF to punish them... Too many nonsense are allowed within CAF.. if Morocco vex now,they fit leave CAF just like they left AU years ago (before coming back later)

when we pulled out of Afcon in 96 due to diplomatic reasons we were punished, I expect same for Morocco.

zuchyblink:
Ndidi played U20 twice. First at 16 and second at 18 . Even 16 year old guys don't play U17 for us.

Aguero played U-20 twice maybe you should go to the nearest beer parlor to have this discussion

zuchyblink:
Kelechi Iheanacho's real age is 31. No player born in Nigeria plays with their real age. I will delete this post soon.

ogogoro talk

komekn:
But league one players are too low for the SE.

We will rather collect a Midfielder who has been on consistent continuous downward spiral into different levels of MEDIOCRITY. That some call Maestro of the midfield , wallowing in obscurity in the very lower percentile of the Segunda division .

I remember Fisayo in a game against Liverpool U21 over 2 years ago.

He was running the midfield and to be honest Harvey got rinsed in and out and resorted to shirt pulling.

Knew he was very good but wasn't sure he was going to get opportunity to develop and improve.

AC Milan recruitment is intensively detailed and thorough I know this from when Jedi was at Wigan Athletic and he failed a medical at Milan. They would have been looking at him for probably 4+ years.

if it was a naija born player you’ll say agent work but an innit player you dey write epistle
