20yrs old right fullback, Sodiq Ismaila is a gem.

I hate to get into age-related issues but this guy is not less than 30
Make some people dey fear God abeg

Interesting list..
Atleast it seems he's making some effort to do something with the midfield
So many questions about the defence
I thought Onyeka and Chuks are injured or are they back from injury?

Well, he got a 1 year contract
Let's hope he does enough to get an extension
Because me, I no feel this list at all, especially the defence..

COOL10:
Forgot to update this, but on Tuesday, Cyriel Dessers scored his 22nd goal of the season, and finally took his goal contribution tally to an impressive number of 30 (22 goals and 8 assists) --- the highest by any Nigerian currently playing in Europe (correct me if I'm wrong).

This is his first season for Rangers and he's already made 30 goal contributions. Banger of a season he's having. 😎

Yeah he sure is..
I pray they get into the UCL group stage next season
Would like to see him against better players

The heart of man is desperately wicked. You are a wicked human walking through earth.

You are extremely wrong and way of the mark
What I wrote up there is not wicked at all
If you saw it as wicked, then you need to get yourself checked

komekn:
France and do what .

Do you realise how poor the bottoms section of the Portuguese league is❓

Chavez have found a legal loophole to throw him in the bin. He was getting substituted quite a lot his one goal 🥅 all season not enough to keep the from getting relegated.

But many here post nonsense over hype exaggeration that he is the best in his club and league. Delusional blindness.

The bolded is true, unfortunately for him
I hope I'm wrong but this might be the beginning of his journey to oblivion

Good talent but poor attitude which seems to be a recurring theme in all the clubs he's played for
Sad for him but he brought this on himself

Let this happen abeg

TheLoneCitizen:
A league needs a flair player or enigma to shine.

A KDB improves any team 3 times more than Jude.
But Jude Bellingham boosts the league profile 3 times more than KDB.

It's not quality they seek, it's exposure.

Hmm
Yeah

TheLoneCitizen:
Not a smart decision if the Saudi league falls off.

It's been singlehandedly held by Ronaldo. That's max 2 years.

Only Salah to a club outside Al Hilal and Nassr could change that.

How about KDB?
There are rumors he might leave too

If Saudi league falls off, there's still MLS right?

Longneck:
No English team in any of the finals
Komekn wetin sup?

You dey find trouble

Hmmmmmmmm

Longneck:
ADL said so

Oh okay then
Let's see how it goes
This summer will sure be an interesting one

Longneck:
Napoli can't keep him because of his wages
He is definitely leaving this summer

And Napoli told you so??

Na una dey worry una self
Osimhen doesn't need to move this summer
He can even choose to run down his contract in Napoli sef
If they bring in Conte next season, it may even be a plus for him

Na we the fans dey desperate for him to move to the EPL
Man knows his future is secure
So he's in no hurry at all

I completely support his contract renewal last season
Best decision for him at the time

Oasis007:


........at a point I was shaking my head watching the clip. I really pitied Amokachi and Finidi, dem go create for their selves but Jay Jay would sight them, yet still went for showboating.

Its now I understand why some particular Legends on European Football Section didn’t rate him at all.

My brother..
It happened time and time again
A manager like Pep would either coach it out of him or put him on the bench

komekn:
Unfortunately the players don't decide it's the club.

It's apparent that Chelsea are not completely convinced about VO and it seems the fans are not that keen either.

Arsenal is doubtful and Liverpool is just rumours so far. VO is a quintessential number 9 that thrives in a pyramid system, that is not how these teams play.

And his price £100+tag makes it very hard for clubs to gamble.and or take a chance on him. It's a kind of all or nothing.

Napoli will like the £100 million plus but know that without VO next season, they will struggle even more than they did this season..

So Napoli will not sell him for anuty lol essentially than £100 they may do a player swap . But let's see the coming month's will be interesting 🧐

Yeah, the article also says VO is willing to wait
He's in a strong position
He's probably the highest paid player in the Serie A
He just got €125k for scoring 15 league goals this season
He's having his second best year for Napoli
And so on..
So Osimhen is in a strong position
There's no need to rush to the EPL
If he has to stay one more season in Naples, I don't think he would mind

Let's see how it goes
Time will tell..

Oasis007:


I hail the players that played with Okocha in this match, dem get patience die. Jay Jay would see openings for through pass but would rather hold on the ball and showboating.

Asin eh
Even we the fans were bamboozled then
But now wey football don progress, we all see that as unnecessary showboating
Exactly why he didn't play for the best clubs in his day

TheLoneCitizen:
Exclusive:
Osimhen is eyeing a 5-year window in England.
Then move to Saudi or MLS.

He has spoken to Ighalo about Saudi.

Smart decision

Kog45:
Jay Jay didn’t kept Ronaldinho on the bench,it was Nigerians way of expressing how good Okocha was,yes young Ronaldinho met him and learnt few tricks……Ronaldinho spent two seasons with PSG and played 55 matches with 17 goals to tell you he wasn’t benched and Okocha spent four seasons played 84 matches scored 12 goals,in fact Okocha was sold cuz of Ronaldinho.

Okocha not winning APOTY still a debate cuz we have seen players who didn’t perform as he does that have won it,so is not about him not being ambitious,losing to Mustapha Hadji still surprising.

In the 80s and early 90s a French Magazine organized APOTY and if you check properly you see French speaking countries winning it or players playing in the French league.It was Rashidi Yekini that broke the record if not we would have had Emma Okala,Christian Chuckwu,Stephen Keshi Ricky Owubokiri and Segun Odegbami as APOTY winners.

Well, that's another angle
But I still maintain if he had more goals and assists, it may have been more difficult for any of the organizers to ignore him for the APOTY award
But it's past now, we can only speculate

komekn:
Let's compare him to his could have been, but can NO longer be successor Eberechi Eze.

JJay 124 games over 4 seasons for Bolton in the EPL he played 124 game scored 14 goals

Eze 110 games over 4 seasons for CP & counting in EPL
Played 110 games scores 23 goals

I am not saying Eze is on JJay level but the comparison highlights the issue. I would have expected JJay to have double that goal 🥅 tally at least.

Absolutely
Especially when you consider that JayJay once kept Ronaldinho on the bench at PSG
I think it was that 2002 world cup season that he really stepped up in goals and assists

If you watch any JayJay highlights videos, they often showcase his tricks and skills but many of his passes were misplaced as well

If he had only been more purposeful or direct, we probably would have won more than we did at national level and maybe he would have gotten atleast one APOTY award

komekn:
You said a typical 10.

That' means he should have high number of assists garnished with a few goals.

JJ played too much for the gallery, show boating and absolutely skintilating off the scale skills and tricks. I watched him mesmerized.

However, looking at his performance, devoid of emotions, he was sometimes found wanting over dribbling and hugging the ball ⚽. I suspect his stats at both national and club level are not great.

Had the most dribbles but how many assists and goals did he make and or score ❓His DNA 🧬 is the same at club level it seems.

Absolutely correct
Plenty dribbles, few assists and goals

do4luv14:
Phew.... Can he bagged a double perfect hat trick, if it's Spalletti there I can say it is possible for him to overtake Martinez, not with their present Coach with the selfishness of those players

In my opinion, he doesn't need to
He's done enough already
If he somehow gets 17-20 goals, then he's had a phenomenal season

do4luv14:
Add Afcon and Injury to VO, else Osigoal for don surpass am teytey,

how many matches remain sef??

3 rounds of matches left
Like I usually say, Osimhen no be their mate and they know it..

jihday:
funny thing is uncle Martinez haven’t moved from 23 but the people that want to use him to dunk on Osimhen will tell you he’s world class

Osimhen is in a different class, even Martinez knows
15 goals in 23 games is elite performance
I only pray he stays injury free next season
I'm picturing a 30 goal season

Once again, Politano assists..
Any club that wants to sign Osimhen should sign Politano as well
Those two have serious understanding like KDB and Haaland do

lbrichman2:
Martinez good o
Now on 23
Let our boy just do 15-20 and stay injury free
He's got nothing to prove to anyone
We already know he's world class

Feb 29
We hit 15 league goals today
Weldone and congratulations Osimhen

BankyGee:
I swear 😂
Someone that averages over 75% passing accuracy per game 🎯
A lot of persons don't watch the guy, na to just come talk.

Exactly my guy

Monsignor22:
I personally think PSG is the best place for Osimhen to go, if he goes to Chelsea then he will have to slug it out with Jackson (who despite all criticisms of his profligacy in front of goal is having a very decent season so far). And the attitude of Chelsea fans is that they will be overpaying for Osimhen when Jackson has more to his game except for elite finishing which he can improve upon.

Honestly as much as I love Osimhen, I wish he had the creative forward skills of Jackson or Boniface, I saw glimpses of that when he balled against Roma , Osimhen dropped deep and helped progress the ball forward and even created good chances for his other team mates. If Osimhen can do more of that he will be a complete player (he already has the pace, hold up play and physicality), all he needs to add to his game is passing.

You definitely don't watch Osimhen play for Napoli

Boniface scores from the spot

mostob:
Well..if you say so.
Just read Liverpool are also considering Tega Abraham. Not sure if it is true though. Do you think he is the ideal forward for Liverpool?

Lol
Why are you baiting our good Komekn?
