Your sentence just admitted that haller is smart while Osimehn is no brain but all physicality and brawns. Someone that can only run and aggressive, is that one a great striker in modern football?

Lol. Why don't Osimhen hit 20+ here before going to the EPL?
Una go just open mouth dey hype person. Osimehn is an average player. If someone that does not watch football hear you guys, he'll think Osimhen is the best player in Serie A.

Osimhen get all these attributes but una go watch world cup for house lol. People sef.

elyte89:
Have u considered his movement around yard 18box, his finishing....I would even say he trumps osimhen in dis aspect...he is also a clinical finisher,he would flourish well in a team dt possess a lot and gives him d final ball to score.

Curtisaxel10:
Osimhen did not get as much as a shot on target yesterday.

The paid hypemen/ player patronage chasers are deafeningly quiet

Emmy450:
lol no need pushing this further, enjoy

BOOOMNAIJA:
Makanjuola success, the captain of the u23 team, is a direct super eagles material.

chrisooblog:
Honestly I dey vex afresh when I remember how 'dem' analysts said he's only good enough for youth team in the English Championship

Odunayaw:
Anytime I eat peppery Kulikuli I can see the future. Guess what I'm eating atm!!

Napoli are going to have to sell Kvara and Osimhen by next summer. No way they'd be able to fight off other clubs

theophilusj31:
Is it just me why does it seem that great and legendary Footballers make terrible coaches I mean look at Rooney,Steven Gerrard,frank lampard,even xavi has been terrible,

Players who then make great and successful coaches are players who had zero or mediocre Football career, think of pep guardiola,Jurgen klopp,ancelotti,etc this men either did not play football or had terrible careers as Footballers but went on to become some the most successful coaches in the world......Johann kruff is the only exception of this


It even extend to national teams....maradonna nearly killed the agentina national team,he was terrible........in Nigeria here our legends has been terrible as coaches,Steven keshi started well but ended badly,.... Sunday oliseh and eguavon were nightmares even though they are naija legends......can someone explain

zuchyblink:
Onuachu has not moved to a bigger league because of his place of birth,age and value. No club in Europe is ready to buy 28 year old Onuachu born in a country with negative reputation of age cheating at 20 to 30 million euros as he is rated.

TheSuperNerd:
Troost Ekong in action from the start as Watford currently engages Luton Town in the Championship. Game already on.

Okoye and Kalu on the bench.

You assume like many here that it's only players that come from deprivation in Africa. That have the resilience and determination to succeed and over come all the odds.

For starters go and check Lukaku story , it's incredible his rise to bring one of the best strikers in the World. Essentially he had been top of his game since age 16 when he started playing for Anderlecht first team.

There is poverty in Europe as well , so consider things in context.

In my opinion physical damage and struggle are not as significant as psychological damage that impacts on your sense of identity, self esteem, aspiration and convictions. The damage that institutional racism, discrimination, exclusion, unconscious bias, race motivated abuse, negative race based denigration, etc, etc .

These present and continuous , behaviours are ingrained but are strongly held by the decision makers and owners of football clubs in Europe.

Eberechi was released and rejected by over 10 clubs, before my friend Chris Ramsey ( he is black) brought him to QPR after being released by Millwall. Shockingly within 6 month's he was in the first team

There are many more similar stories were black players are disproportionately affected by negative decision that are anchored on racial discrimination.

TheLoneCitizen:
Top league? Don't go there, brother.

Osimhen has been playing top tier football since 2018, and Ajax plus Chelsea are the only big boys he has scored against.
Despite playing three years now in a league containing Juve, Milan and Inter.

Nunez entered top flight football 2020, and has scored against Barcelona, Bayern, Ajax, Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal.

Not saying Victor is pants, but the overhype you dishing out. Bro's not even top 3 young strikers.

TheLoneCitizen:
Both Darwin and Osimhen are at same level, brother.

Don't draw no agenda, here.

"It's a dream come true for me!"

Omonia goalkeeper and Manchester United fan Francis Uzoho was delighted with the chance to play at Old Trafford... 🤩

The bolded I think we talked on this long enough that football does not revolve around league rankings. KVB, Hazard, Ndidi,Lukaku, Kompany etc all evolved from the Belgian league currently you have club d brugge sitting with 9 points in UCL a club from the 9th ranking league in the world.

Even Portuguese Sporting Lisbon beat up Spurs in same UCL. Zagreb whipped chelsea too football is not mathematics what is necessary for a young player is getting play time to grow and showcase his potentials... then and then we can take it up from there. The rise of sadiq ought to have humbled u by now

komekn:
Football had moved on , long ball game has become obsolete for decades.

For quite some time Stoke used it to over stay in the EPL. A certain Rory Delap was there, at the Stoke had the tallest players in the EPL.

Sorry you need a lot more than a big throw.

Can you imagine this boy papa?
They must be desperate for a call up now

TheSuperNerd:
Chidozie Awaziem came up clutch again today for his club. A last minute winner in the deepest period of added time alongside another fine defensive performance. Details later.

TheSuperNerd:
Tell me one time even a fit Morata registered 20 league goals for any side. Just tell me one.

I doubt you would find one yet Morata has featured for most marquee clubs (Real Madrid, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Juventus).


Now... You just read facts and called it story, story, story.

But since you believe and know what a fit Osimhen can do... then that settles this discussion.

The wrong move would have been Osimhen moving to Man Utd this summer like some Shameless Man U fans in here wanted but thanks goodness that didn't happen.

Next Summer, Osimhen will likely get his big move after having another strong season in the Serie A under his belt. Maybe Man U will be a better place by then... time will tell. Other options also exist. Next Summer will tell it all.

So chill out with your "wrong move-destroy career" talks. He's been at Napoli for 3 seasons now including this current one. You make it sound like he's been on the move every other season.

komekn:
It's not tenable, he had already been played for an inconsequential 5 years across Europe.

Ends up in the Segundo division and does very well, is it because the league is poor and he has found relevance in this poor quality league. Or is there true progression, l really don't know.

He is in the much better La Liga, a much better test of his supposed ability, only time will tell.

Unfortunately, he is injured it's an ACL horrific injury pray he gets well soonest .

AndSunGorilla:
Are "our" boys in 9ja or Obodo Oyinbo sir? Also who is [b]Murphy Akanji'[/b]s dad?

mostob:
To think City played without a DM today. Like they practically open the door and United no fit pass.

Arteta should be flogged for losing against Man Utd.

TheSuperNerd:
Nathan Tella scores yet again.

His 4th goal for Burnley in 9 games (7 starts).
Subbed off moments ago on 65mins.

Danielnino00:
He is a pure breed politician...Little footprint in the football sector...

The NFF has always been run by Politicians.. Pinnick was a politician..this one too is... No difference....

charlesemeka85:
nooo we hv decent enough midfielders in top flight european football

No need to drop the quality of the team by calling up a Spanish 2nd tier player, if say na English championship it would’ve been considerable enough

Imagine boasting of 4 midfielders in the epl(aribo,ndidi,iwobi and Onyeka), 2 in Belgian top fight(onyedika and alhassan), 1in ligue one(bonke) and we abandon one of these to go down the lower rugs of Spanish football to invite one

Na cheating na

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Finally someone here is thinking.

7 yrs ago, Nwakali was a 17 Yr old who just won the U17 WC in 2015.

In that same month he was wrapping up Cadet football, a 19 yrs old Iwobi was making his Super Eagles Debut under Sunday Oliseh.

November 2015 - Nwakali was at Chile 2015 U17 WC and Iwobi was at Arsenal already debuting for the Super Eagles.

Many don't realise this. Lol

typicalgamer:
The moment you realized this is a job and should be treated as such

No player will find another job paying football wages after they’ve retired

Remember their lifestyle comes with a use cost

To mitigate this you have to have a brand or be signed to brand

None of this which he has now is the time to chase money

Because i think his time at SE is over

typicalgamer:
He has time he has time

Don’t forget that we Nigerian are notorious for age forgery o they deceive yourself say Kelechi na 24 years

typicalgamer:
Wining is winning non-sorrowful football they play friendly against Algeria and failed at everything
