Typical Nigerian....
Anyone who doesn't toe the same line is a hater or enemy of progress...
Anyway like I said, osimhem doesn't have the tools to reach a mane or drogba's kinda level...
I think Nigerians like you are just eager to see a world class player so will cling to anyone who shows a little potential and hype as the next Lord and saviour....
Unlike you I see things for what they are....
Osimhem is a good player....and that's it

What tools have they please?

at 21, Drogba was playing at Le Mans, played 30 games and scored 7 goals. League 2. In his first Ligue 1 season, he played 34 games and scored 17, at 24yo

at 21, Mane was playing at Salzburg, played 33 games and scored 13 goals.


at 21 this season, Victor has scored 13 times from 24 appearances, already besting both Drogba and Mane at that age, and 5 goals into besting Drogba's debut Ligue 1 season.


Yet, you're saying he can't reach their level, at the same age, they weren't even as prolific as he his.

Santos have demanded Barcelona pay a further 4.5 million euros as part of Neymar's transfer to the Camp Nou in 2013.

Santos want €45m from Barca for Neymar signing

The Brazilian was never going to come cheaply

Santos believe they are owed €45 million (£37.4m/$48.6m) by Barcelona for the transfer of Neymar, according to El Mundo.

The Brazilian forward moved to Catalonia seven years ago and now plies his trade in the French capital with Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Santos still maintain that Barcelona have not met certain conditions agreed upon in the deal and therefore still owe a hefty sum.

Barca set to announce Braithwaite signing

Leganes striker Martin Braithwaite is expected to be announced as a Barcelona player on Thursday, reports ESPN.

The 28-year-old Denmark international has scored six goals in La Liga this season and will be an injury-replacement signing for the Catalans.

The Liverpool i saw yesterday looked out-of-sort and out of ideas. Not a single shot on target. If Athletico manage to replicate half of their game plan in Anfield, then Liverpool is out.

the game plan was very simple. Render pool's flank useless. With Arnold and Robertson out, it's hard for Pool to play. with Mane and Salah even out, it's over for pool.

the flanks is their power

Santos have demanded Barcelona pay a further 4.5 million euros as part of Neymar's transfer to the Camp Nou in 2013.

In another eventful week for Barcelona, Josep Maria Bartomeu is to hold a meeting with the first team on Tuesday to clarify the allegations that claim the current board were involved in hiring a PR firm to spread negative narratives about Blaugrana legends.

After the Supercopa de Espana and Copa del Rey eliminations, as well as the sacking of Ernesto Valverde and the publicised spat between Leo Messi and Eric Abidal, the news has come as another shockwave to the club.

Quique Setien oversaw an evening training session at 18:00 CET on Tuesday and the likes of Guillermo Amor, Abidal and Ramon Planes were inside the club's offices with Ali Dursun, the agent of Martin Braithwaite, as the Dane looks set to complete a switch to Barcelona.

The club have denied any wrongdoing over suggestions that they requested i3 Ventures to create social media accounts which defamed those who oppose Bartomeu.

The president turned up at the club's facilities on Tuesday evening ahead of talks with the players.

Messi
Suarez
Dembele
Griezman
Fati
Perez

We started the season with 6 attacking players.

but by January transfer window, we knew Suarez was out of the season, Fati is not a first teamer, we had just Messi and Griezman, plus an injured dembele. We could have used Perez to reinforce, but the, we loaned him out to Roma.


that's negligence of duty. why loan Perez out and still not replace him?

also, i feel RFEF is right that something does not add up with dembouz injury. How can he go out for 4 months last year, then suddenly 6 months this year? considering it's the same injury? Barca intentionally elongated the lenght so as to be able to sign a new player abeg

barackodam:
Malcom will leave Barça
Puig will leave
Wague would too.


Malcolm is 6th choice, he won't even make match day squad
Puig is like 8th choice or what?
Wague is 3rd choice in a team where even the 2nd choice can't get 20 games a season.


Theses are guys who won't be making match squad, they will be stupid not to go.


I will not mention Alena because he may be 5th or 6th, but he seemingly has the patience.


upon all the patience Denis had, he left. you can't be benching people for a season, making them play copa matches vs recreativo Huelva and benching them against Sevilla in the same cup matches and expect them to stay, because they're your future.


smh. there's no future for these players, and they know

hammed71:
we go still enter this USA legally las las

i swear bruh. we go enter

jpmoriarti:
Bully? Will Barcelona get the player for free? The player has a release clause. If anyone is willing to meet the requirements of the release, the club has no objection. When PSG activated Neymar's release clause, would you also say Barcelona was bullied? This is business bro.

Call a spade a spade. Paying of release clause is Bully. Knowing fully well the club won't negotiate, you pay the release clause. As a result, the club are forced to sell. That's bully. And yes, PSG bullied us as regards Neymar. They refused to sell Veratti and Rabiot and then took away Neymar, if that isn't bully, i wonder what else is.


No club is willing to sell their striker knowing fully well they won't get a replacement, we then want to get a Leganes team's, currently 19th on the table and fighting for survival, highest scoring striker. Leganes have scored 18 goals, and he alone has 6 goals. take that away and they are bottom of the league

Thank God say you get eye ,var does favour Liverpool Man U even Chelsea most times ,Chelsea should deal with it , var refuses to check rudiger hand ball against Leicester

i remember that chelsea vs leicester match too

Subzero047:
Uefa will be bamboozled with documents, Man city is not the first club to cheat on FFP, Madrid and Barca have done it so why is Man city the scapegoat

We have a case there

It has been a week with so much talk about financial fair play. Mirandes, a fairytale team who have reached the Copa del Rey semi-finals, won't be punished by UEFA for spending money in a 'Wolf of Wall Street' manner, like Manchester City have been. Mirandes' achievement is instead a tribute to physical preparation and to football.

Like you said, almost everyone flouts FFP. City are just being made scapegoats

After watching the highlights of the match between Chelsea and Man U I fear for next World Cup. VAR seriously needs an overhaul

the only problem i see with VAR is it's use as a medium for favoritism. I like the idea, but not how it's being used in England to favour some clubs(Pool and United)

Mane's goal against Norwich was a goal, but Zouma's against United was not a goal, despite Zouma not being the one that even did the foul.

Maguire didn't deserve a yellow(worse case), but Auba got a red, and Son got a red too. Blatant nonsense!

Porto striker Moussa Marega was subjected to racist abuse on Sunday after scoring his team's second goal in a 2-1 win against former club Vitoria SC.

Marega's teammates and the opposition players tried to prevent him from leaving the pitch before Porto boss Sergio Conceicio tried to calm him down, but the 28-year-old ignored them all and walked down the tunnel.

Later, on Instagram, Marega wrote a message to those who had been hurling racist insults at him, as well as the match officials.

"To those idiots that go to the stadium to shout racist insults, go Bleep yourselves," Marega wrote on Instagram.

"I'm also grateful to the referee for not defending me and for giving me a yellow card for defending my skin colour. I hope I never see you on a pitch again. You're a disgrace!"

another Racism case

Amsterdam to Getafe is 5hrs 44 mins, by air o, yet, Ajax sold out its tickets(they said about 1000) in few minutes after it commenced.


Football is mad sha

Ali Dursun, the agent of Leganes forward Martin Braithwaite, is believed to be in the city of Barcelona to negotiate the player's transfer to Barcelona to replace Ousmane Dembele.

Given the length of Dembele's injury, Barcelona have been granted permission to make an emergency signing and Braithwaite is the player they're currently looking at.

That was reported by Mundo Deportivo earlier on Monday, before RAC1 broke the news of the player's agent being in the Catalan capital.

Dursun has worked with the Blaugrana before, as he is also the agent of Frenkie de Jong.

Barcelona have 15 days to sign a player, but they want somebody sooner rather than later so that they can start working with Quique Setien and so that they can be available for the weekend's match against Eibar.

At Leganes, they will only let the 28-year-old player depart if his release clause of 20 million euros is paid.

If the Braithwaite option doesn't come to fruition then Barcelona know they also have the possibility of signing Angel Rodriguez from Getafe and Los Azulones may even be willing to negotiate on the terms of the transfer for the striker who has a release clause of 10m euros.

Mbappe is also black.. Jadon Sancho too is black...

European Blacks.


Victor is an African Black.


Why do you think Salah is that lucky? cos he's a white African

Story.
She is the only one that eats heathy meals and exercises.

that's not surgery

To those of you blaming Griez in the last match, make una calm down. I for one was not impressed by the way he scored his goal. Yes!, he scored, people were jubilating, but i saw the goal as a lucky one. He pushed the ball to his right leg, and had to force himself to play with his left leg. There and then, i knew we were in trouble, if he couldn't play such a ball with his right leg, then his right leg must be real awful. He proved me right thereafter, all the clear chances he missed were played with his right leg......

Self imposed oh. At some point, I felt Nairaland lost its flavour.


You all good man?

it still has tbh, don't get your hopes high

Rockyrascal:
anytime I hear or read that "osihmen scored" I always make sure I watch the match highlights. Let me quickly go and watch the match highlights .

Modified: Osihmen as a very good positioning, not scared to take on defenders, he always wants to hold the ball and his finishing was world class.
Why his he not rated with the level j.sancho, And E. Haaland are been highly rated by the sports media?

because he's black

“Yobo has really served this country in the National team from the Cadet level to the senior national team.

”He was Super Eagles cqaaptain for a very long time long time now, with over a hundred caps, I think he deserves the job.

”He, however, needs our support and prayers to succeed in the role,

Nigeria my country.

it is well

tbaba1234:
Puzzling Yobo appointment is Nigeria Football Federation at its absolute worst



As it stands, Nigeria is a sacking or incapacity away from having an ex-international who has never coached a day in his life or even undergone basic training take charge of the senior national team on an interim basis. The mind fairly boggles at the thought process behind this decision, and the dangerous precedent it could set for the future.

well, Ladan Bosso just said that he has

jieta:
This is stale news, i think this was the ranking caf use to group us for the world cup qualifiers. Am not sure if fifa has release this month ranking.

It's not stale. February rankings, that's what the newscaster said

Humility017:
if not for that Imama and his carpentry gang

we should have move up more.....
well I think Yobo tenure will be better than him.

because everything about that Imama does not follow even his football sense is zero and players selection is so disorganized and loopsided

Sommyroy10:
Then we can pull a Chelsea, lol

lol, the last time a shocker won Euros was '16, Portugal. prior to that was '04, Greece. 12 years!


it's not an everyday thing bruh, forget it

na wa o. We're still dragging whether or not Yobo?



smh, abeg, i watched on news yesterday that Nigeria has moved 4 places up in the FIFA rankings. We're now 31st in the world, 3rd in Africa

Senegal 1st, 20th
Tunisia 2nd, 27th
Nigeria 3rd, 31st


We should be celebrating another jump forward abeg

Sommyroy10:
When was the last time the heavy favorite actually won the UCL?

when was the last time a team without a hot 3 man forward won the UCL?


let me save you, 2012, Chelsea. 8 years ago. and that, is an anomaly

ddippset:
So You mean none can win UCL?

Yes, UCL is out of the question for both of us. We don't even have a striker yet. and Madrid are seeing their period

Both Madrid and Barca are out of Copa del Rey


only one of us will win La Liga, so definitely, one of us is going trophyless

BascoVanVeli:
This is the most silly thing ever. Rohr apparently said he is going to ask Yobo and you people are using that as evidence.

With Yobo's appointment our odds of winning the next AFCON just went up. Now sue me for saying that.

I have heard that he has no coaching diplomas, so I will talk to him about this if what I have heard is correct, I will tell Yobo that he needs to do the training required to grow as a coach”



that's what Rohr said....

Make dem jus loan us the guy for one season abeg, in fact quarter season.
