Who do you consider the most dynamic and why?

Sadiq has to prove himself at the Big 3 before I can even have a conversation with you regarding that versus. I keep telling you guys that league levels is very important when comparing players. For example, you cannot compare a player scoring goals at Farmers or backwater leagues vs The Big 3. NEVER! For now, Sadiq is a Top Talent

Sincerely, I had some level of concern when Osimhen was going to Napoli, especially considering the way Serie A teams are set up.

Napoli plays like someone who buys a Ferrari and decides to drive it in traffic. You have blistering pace in your arsenal, but you choose to play like a go slow. Very annoying.

There's nothing wrong with Napoli style that's how they do it in Italy just that osimehn isn't their type of striker and either they play to his strengths or he play to their strengths. A player like simy will score double figures at Napoli and I don't even consider simy a better player than osimehn. Due diligence is very important before signing a big contract

Kindly enlighten me... How would Simmy score more goals than Osimhen in this Napoli team with their style of play of not getting enough chance for their striker?

Kelechi has also grown more confident when granting interviews. Has really brushed up on and off the field.

Onuachu isn't in the big 3 but you have always advocated for him to be a starter in the GWG..
Now,isn't that both ironic and hypocritical?

You should give me an answer first

To be dynamic is to be full of ideas, it means you aint a "one trick pony". That is exactly what Sadiq typifies, granted he is doing it in a lower league. Dude is so good with his feet, he creates chances with ease hence racking up assists, he is a good dribbler and his close control, first touch is as beautiful as they come. He plays with guile, hence you can hardly predict his next move, that is why you see him always helping out in the midfield. Now as a striker, he strikes with precision, he is good aerially and his positioning is superb. A forward with these traits is best described as a DYNAMIC forward.

This is why I am a big fan of Thomas Soucek

Do you know what it means for a player to be dynamic? How many of our strikers can vary their games as easily as Sadiq does?

Being dynamic has nothing to do with competition level. He is dynamic because of his different attributes.

Sadiq has scored double figures for the past two seasons in Serbia and the segunda division.. So he isn't proven enough??

You have to be clear enough on your ideas...

Though he is the best Nigerian striker ever in a single Serie A season, even ahead of Martins who we all thought was good till Simmy proved us wrong, I still don't rate him(Simmy).

About Sadiq, he is the most dynamic of all out strikers


Best striker ever? I don’t know how you analyze football but I am dam sure you don’t know anything.

Simmy might have scored 17 goals in the Seria A but he is not yet better than Martins in Seria A.

Martins scored 22 goals in all competitions for Inter Millan in a season and won something.

I know you don’t rate Sadiq. All this talk na opportunity to make your point and you have already done it.

Martins never scored up to 16 Serie-A goals in a single Series-A season.

Even I couldn't have predicted him scoring just five goals at this stage of the season...
Then again Napoli spending 80m or thereabouts on Osimhen was insane and was 'pepe level' of madness maybe even worse...
In fact my theory is some of these deals are money laundering schemes but that's a topic for another day..

Still I think Osimhen is better than what he's showing so far at Naples, so I expect him to improve...
I would be shocked if he doesn't next season.
All in all, those proclaiming him as world class and comparisons with mbappe and haaland last season were short sighted and deluded

You as a person who love to pull stat should know Martins 22 goals is because he played more games (UCL), winning a trophy is a team effort not individual how do you expect Crotone to win anything? Going by stat Simy is having a better season than Martins

Is it difficult to read? I said in all season.

More games or not Martins scored 22 goals in all season and won trophy.

So scoring goals is an individual effort? He dribbled all the 11 players on the field and scored the goals, right?

Perhaps, it is coming home (in English fans voice) cool
