charlesemeka85:
yes of course. He is already tagged as one of the best strikers in the world currently and winning the Apoty will elevate he’s status more

Not winning a major trophy with Nigeria can’t and won’t rob him of he’s achievements

Ask Messi what World Cup meant to him.Fact most Argentines refused to give him due respect before he won WC.

Osimehn winning Afcon and qualifies eagles to WC would be a landmark for his status.

zicky:
oga sir APOTY is a big deal oh. 1999 was the last time a Nigerian player won it. For me Osimhen winning the APOTY put him on a different level.

I remember Ikpeba won APOTY…

charlesemeka85:
we don’t need strikers anymore

What we should be looking out for are midfielders (mostly CMs and CAMs) and center backs

Also goalkeepers

I just don’t know what went wrong with Mikel,his retirement was too early and fact if he is still playing in championship or somewhere in Arab world or MLS,with this issue of CM and CAM,straight I will give him a recalling.The guy still look fitter and people were questioning is it true he has retired after legendary match between Chelsea and Bayern Munich.

Icon4s:
Yes, I quite agree. Osimhen is hardly yet to achieve anything with the national team.
Osimhen is just one goal short of Yakabu, three short of Odegbami and 17 short of Yekini. Barring any dip in form or long term injuries, he is looking on course to overtake Yekini.
...........but, just like many others, I still feel he is yet to attain his full potential for the national team. The Principe and Sao Tome games really helped his career. I don't know how many of such teams he will face for the rest of his career. Yekini was scoring braces against highly rated teams like Ivory Coast and Algeria back then. Osimhen is yet to taste any world cup action and yet to play in any AFCON final let alone to win it.

I still believe if Yekini was playing in today's football he will be ahead of Osimhen in the national team pecking order.

Baba you nailed it….u Dey vacation right cuz u get time today.

ChrisKels:
How did Osimhen get the Captain armband? I don't think he is ripe for it.

Ndidi handed it after got substituted.Osimehn was the most senior on the field at that moment.

Joebie:
We have another international break to arrange a max of 2 matches from October 9-17

Then we have two WC qualifiers on Nov 13 and Nov 20. That’s a possible max of 4 grade A matches before AFCON. Considering Zimbabwe and Lesotho are not great tests we must utilize the FIFA window in October if we are serious about winning the next AFCON.

Sir Joebie,are you saying Lesotho and Zimbabwe are not great test in WC qualifier.

Skippo

charlesemeka85:
osimhen

Ayam in my house coke n beat me

The two belonged to different era,so nobody is going to beat you on football matters or discourse….Nigeria want to see Osimehn influence in Afcon and world qualification,nothing more.

Pls mirror Yekini against São Tomé and tell me how many goals he would have scored.

Icon4s:
Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen.
Thanks for keeping up with the good work here.

With Victor Osimhen, hitting the 20goals mark for the Super Eagles, is it right to start a comparison between Osimhen and the Legendary Yekini?

Yes of course but Osimehn need Afcon trophy,WC qualification irrespective of number of goals to be the real guy….even I don’t see APOTY as a big deal cuz am seeing him winning it…the koko is Afcon and World Cup qualification.

Taiwo Awoniyi wins Nottingham player and Goal of the month award

charlesemeka85:
Stephen Keshi and Charles Musonda of Zambia at Anderlecht.

Big boss himself,remember him and Musonda against Vialli sampdoria in UEFA cup final.Infact Keshi was the first Nigerian to play in any club European final.

ChrisKels:
Taiwo Awoniyi is becoming too religious in the game for my liking. You lot should learn to keep your religions away from the game.

Oh I understand wella…so do not take it serious bro.Awoniyi came from a very religious family where is a must for morning devotion and night prayer,so good that stardom didn’t take it away.Infact he is super eagles pastor and his colleagues revered him.

charlesemeka85:
snr no vex abeg but I knw wey em dey drive go 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So I no wan mk em land

Wetin concern grace and the possibility of osimhen surpassing yekini’s record which seem likely to be achieved highest before 2026 World Cup? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oga even if they asked Osimehn he would say by God grace Abi you go fight Osimehn. ..Oga Charles oya take red card

charlesemeka85:
Kog45 see the liar here

In my post I praised ndidi for he’s improved passing and decision making not Bruno

In Bruno’s part I only said he is better than zaidu from my observation in the game today


But him don twist wen I catch am say na zaidu n Bruno comparison prompt em response to the post 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oga Charles pls end this

charlesemeka85:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Many here no say I no Dey do tribal things which u re renowned for here 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oga Charles,it has been long we turned things to tribal on this thread.If you don’t know people look at you as one of the major contributors here and you should understand the game better.

Forgiveness said ‘by his grace” shouldn’t attract anything.It is obvious Osimehn is breaking Yekini record soon and I don’t see reason why Ajagun name should popped up on Zaidu and Bruno talk but you said NO it was Ndidi which I said okay,even Peseiro will not start Bruno over Zaidu based on São Tomé match.

If you don’t know you are Elder here Oga Charles.

Chuckwueze assist to Osimehn goal and Iheanacho assist to Awoniyi goal are reminiscent of 2015 and 2013 U 17 WC.

charlesemeka85:
forgiveness was referring to ndidi not Bruno

Okay

One thing I will not rate any Nigeria player against São Tomé but very good match and it boosted the confidence towards Lesotho WC match.

charlesemeka85:
atleast he is better than ajagun

Oga Charles,the contexture is Bruno and Zaidu so what brought Ajagun in,you like to Dey shake table Oga Charles…..well Bruno I saw today has the finesse than Sanusi not to talk of Collins but as forgiveness said better opponent would determine how far….

daveP:
Na suspi. Like from the top. The way they did for Rohr too

Oga nobody Dey dictate to coach wey sabi and for Rohr no one dictated to him.

daveP:
infact bony upfront won't be bad. I just hope na coach do selection and formation himself. It's giving influence mode.

Influence mode?

charlesemeka85:
the best pair would hv been bony and osimhen

Awoniyi should be a deputy for Osimehn not partner upfront.Yes let’s see Boniface cuz he does it last season behind the main striker.

Many of us here don Dey watch eagles tey tey so make we calm down cuz I don Dey see dis no be team…..Abeg make we relax and enjoy dis match with popcorn 🍿

Osimehn is uno numero

Kai Nigeria army you entered their enclave and killed just six…it’s well.

Joebie:
JP nko

When a coach agreed to pay cut then something was wrong….J Peseiro na dem dem coach nau.

We didn’t offended anybody.Infact your parents or our parents are part of the problem we are facing now,so let’s keep on working for better Nigeria

Cecco90:
Rohr's Benin Republic will not be at AFCON.

Rohr na one dem dem Oyibo coaches that just need Africa countries to boost their CV,nothing more.

Joezinho:
Egbon, What about John and Peter utaka?

Yes John and Peter but I gave it to John Utaka.

AndSunGorilla:
The Odegbami Brothers, Okala Brothers, Sodje Brothers too tried I will say on their individual merits. I think Amunike's brother too played but he was vrap too. Emma Babayaro should have been good to compliment his younger brother Cele but life happened to him.

Emma lost out to coach and agent things and only Bonfrere Jo and Churchill Oliseh can explain better.

Yes Wole Odegbami damn good but fizzled out.Patrick Okala was poor and I remembered how he failed us at Afcon 84 final.He replaced injured Peter Rufai who was outstanding.

Oh I doff my hat for Uche brothers and I rate Kalu Uche very highly.

Mujtahida:
Ogbonna Kanu and Azubuike Oliseh. Kai those guys were watery players. Sydney 2000 Olympics team

Those one just used their brothers names entered eagles,very poor players especially Ogbonna Kanu….the real siblings in eagles history are Uche brothers
