Of course, sir!
Starboytwo:
you are right sir, expecially the 2nd goal. I almost thought he won't score that goal.

Knowing what he did to that defender and still finding that space at the near post to beat that keeper =Precision.

He should have scored about 4 today. He really will be unstoppable this season.

If you look at the work he put in getting those shots on target, then I would probably give him a pass. Those two goals he scored can only be scored by few strikers in today's football. The run, the cut, the shots! Wow! What a player!!
mrwilliams9:


Very correct. He has more tools in his game than our other strikers. Only thing is his fitness and finishing. He got 2 goals today off 7 shots but a more clinical striker probably has a hat-trick if not 4 goals with some of the chances he had

Today, AE-Equaveon and his coaching team showed the importance of experience playing across the continent. You need runners in your midfield, not an Iwobi in a two-man midfield during a hot 2 p.m. match in Kigali.

Wow! We had a good goal canceled, hit the crossbar, forced several world-class save from their goalkeeper, and at no point was our goalkeeper in danger.

Congratulations, Nigeria! We're headed to AFCON and the World Cup!
What a team! What a coaching crew! See you next month.

AE just needs to bring in Ojediran and Uche for the box-to-box Iwobi role, and we'll be ready to take on any team in the world!

Maybe it has more to do with tactical set up, and coaching inconsistencies.

Moffi was quiet good at AFCON when he was granted the opportunity to play. Awoniyi was great at AFCON 2022 too. Even Jackson has no goals for Senegal. Playing on the continent as a striker is not easy.
Mujtahida:

I agree but I'm at the stage where strength on paper doesn't impress me anymore. I want results. And only Osimhen seem to be the one who does that, lately Ademola too.

A midfield enigma! Just 20 year old! He might not be in Lens next season. A makelele reborn with better passing!

I feel Getafe is miss utilizing Uche. I want him to consistently play in midfield. This make-shift striker role is a no no... for me!

I would say 'fit' attackers.
Boni, Orban, Moffi, Adams, Dessers, Awoniyi etc are solid attackers but not fully fit yet due to one reason or the other.
Only few African countries has this plethora of attackers.
Mujtahida:

Small time another department go scarce. We really don't have attackers

By joining Gala, Osimhen has transformed his image from that of an enfant terrible young talent to one marked by humility and ambition.

Sacking his agent demonstrates his commitment to both his career and his reputation, both at home and abroad.

Taking the number 45 jersey symbolizes his acceptance of challenges and his determination to overcome them.

A man who acknowledges his mistakes and works tirelessly to correct them is destined for greatness.

The Osimhen story is far from over—it's only just beginning.

This is the continuation of a legacy that will be celebrated for generations to come- from Belgium, to France, to Italy, to Turkey .... Even Gundogan is on board—who are you to doubt it.

And maybe one day, just like Odysseus we will proudly say, we "lived" in the Time of Vic Tor Osi mhen!

Osimhen to Gala will be done only if Napoli agrees to lower the release clause.
Osimhen is ready to sign a readjusted contract till 2027 with a lower release clause ahead of the January transfer.

A private jet has arrived from Gala! Gala and Napoli discussing!

Osi no gree for anybody.
If you understand what is going on, you will stand with Osimhen.
Educate yourself, and get the facts. Not everything be criticism. It is in the open!
I criticized Osi initially before getting a grisp on what is going on!

Osimhen will be reintegrated into the team after the break.

ADL is a businessman—he’s not one to lose millions of dollars or the Serie A title over a minor issue.
With the recent signings, it seems clear that ADL sees an opportunity to win another Serie A title with Osimhen in the squad while also securing a return on his investment in the summer.

Considering Conte's preference for a 3-5-2 formation, I can only imagine the damage a Luka-Osimhen partnership could inflict on opponents!

However, my concern is with Conte himself. He's known for being stubborn.
The big question is: Will Conte set aside his pride and become the mastermind behind one of football’s most lethal partnerships, or will his arrogance get in the way? Hmm...

The truth is finally out!

As I mentioned in my previous posts, the offer from Saudi Arabia has been on the table since May. ADL wanted Osimhen to go to Saudi and even turned down PSG's offer around June.

Unfortunately for ADL, Chelsea entered the picture with a loan offer and no obligation to buy. Calenda and Chelsea negotiated, and Chelsea eventually agreed to an obligation to buy.

The loan arrangement meant that both teams would split the salary payment. Chelsea agreed to cover 40% of Osimhen's salary, hoping that Napoli would agree to cover the remaining 60%.

However, Napoli refused, insisting that Osimhen either take the Saudi offer or Chelsea covers his entire salary.

Chelsea then proposed a deal of €4 million + €4 million + €2 million, but this only made Osimhen furious. He decided to call Napoli's bluff, stating that if they wouldn't cover 60% of his salary, they would have to pay 100% while he stayed on vacation.

Osimhen, you're the man! You have our full support!!!!

This shall pass, and you shall come out stronger and a better human!!

After all the speculation, it looks like the Saudi move isn't happening. But refusing Chelsea's offer—what's the plan here?

You're going to sit out for three months, and then what? Who do you expect to come in with a bid after that? How is $130k a week considered disrespectful when you scored 15 goals last season? Let's be realistic.

If it's about the money, the Saudi deal was there for the taking. If it's about making a name for yourself, you should have signed with Chelsea and proved your worth.

But refusing both deals? Especially knowing that Conte isn't going to play you—that doesn't make sense, and It's really disappointing.

As I mentioned earlier, someone like him shouldn't have an agent like Calender or what is his name, or friends like those twitter ignoramus telling him Chelsea deal is disrespectful! What a shame!
Even Sterling was honorable to know when to leave!

Even if Napoli requested for additional $5m, can't you ask the Saudis to pay and remove it from your salary later?

Character, and who you surround yourself with is very important in this life!
Nevertheless, I do wish him all the BEST
Marjoribanks:
I don't understand how Osimhen is surrounded by people who are adverse to making good decision for him.
Signing that extension is nothing short of greed!

How would you not play for the club paying your salary when you are still there., and searching for a move.

How would clubs assess you to know your level of fitness?
How do you expect clubs to cough out over 100m not 30/40m for a you without a 90 minutes football in 4 months?

How?
