I've never been a fan of Osimhen's move to Gala but the way some of these guys are framing this discourse after Lookman's move is horrible and just shows you how spiteful and ungrateful Nigerians can be. Nawa.

Ndidi and Osimhen remain the only exceptions for me and are the major reasons I watch The Turk Super Lig. Ndidi is Super Eagles Captain and Osimhen is our #1 player in world football and his salary & Value at Gala is super massive. The value they accord Victor makes him a god in turkey and the whole eastern europe.
He is that lad who wont suffer a drop in quality no matter where he plays and that is partly my consolation when I see him torment all the "Spors et al" of Turkey.


Aside Osimhen and Ndidi, I dont actually want our lads going to Turkey. I can only bear it a bit when they are young and using Turkey as a springboard to higher quality leagues. E.g. Ogundu from Alanyaspor to the Bundesliga.

I expect lads like Anthony Dennis to leave soon to a better quality league. Chibuike Nwaiwu will follow suit once he shows consistent solid showings.

Now, Turkey's Super Lig is actually not that bad as they have been on a rise in quality and are even a top 10 euro league now (9th ranked) but still, I prefer our lads scattered across the length and breadth of the top 5 leagues. If not there for some, then be in Holland, Portugal or Belgium, in the top clubs only.

First it was Hausa league they called it
Oh my lawd now it’s Fulani league

TheSuperNerd:
Simon has been reduced to a bench player now so Ejuke's chances of coming off the bench are very slim and with more competition that threatens even Simon, Ejuke might find himself further away from the Super Eagles. This is the depth I have always wanted.

I know how much the sound of "Spor" irritates Charles... I wan pepper am small.

'Sitting on same points with a game in hand but above Wolfsburg on the Bundesliga table and seeing they took points off Bayern yesterday, I reckon Hamburg will do enough to stay up this season.

Good move for Philip Otele after shining at Basel. He performs and Chelle will definitely come knocking.

Simon Moses' Super Eagles days are numbered oo. Will he withstand this fierce competition that is coming his way soon?

Bundesliga dey give me sweeter reasons to watch them more and more again. Carney, Otele, Ogundu.... and with time Sani.

Should’ve just tried to stay at Augsburg

As always, expectedly, your childish nature must surely shine through at some point.

Just one question for you and Kog45... did you both watch the game or not? It's that simple.

Bassey played in the 2021/2022 Europa League Final for Rangers and dropped a world class performance from LCB.

He also made UEL Team of the season (see below) yet somehow the English Media stayed blind. May this sort of blindness continue as we approach other Anglo-Nigerian talents like Emmanuel Opeyemi Fernandez and co.

Now that was Bassey in 2022 just few months after his Super Eagles "baptism of fire" debut in the WCQs playoff vs Ghana in March of same year.

Now Bassey in 2025/26, Bassey is making Afcon 2025 Team of the Tournament (see below again) as the undisputed Best CB at the competition.

May England stay blind. While they bag the likes of Ethan Nwaneri, Ebere Eze and co, we will bag the likes of Fernandez and a few more whose quality will eventually shine.

Ex-NFF president Amaju Pinnick has revealed arrangements are being made for Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle to undertake internships at elite European clubs to enhance his technical abilities.

Omo. They didn't just lose. They embarrassed themselves.

TheSuperNerd:
This is better than the Qarabag rumor. Very decent step up. He will replace Durosinmi there. Brilliant.
