TheSuperNerd: Why are you ignoring other games aside of seria A games? Stop mentioning stats that's beneficial to your argument and post the full stats. 10 in 22 Seria A games (Not bad) but for 90 Million Dollars, you're expected to score more 10 in 28 overall Games (Not good enough for 90 Million) If osimehn is a back up striker that was signed for 20 Million, I will call this season A Huge Success. But, because of the Huge transfer Fee and G to G Ratio, I will rank Him a C. He didn't Flop neither was he Exceptional or justified that 90 Mil fee. The good side of it is his age, (22) and injuries sustained affected his Game to goal ratio. But, we must accept his weakness and he must work on his weakness. Stay calm in front of goal and stop missing sitters 3 Likes |

12large1: This guy is delusional... Worse than I envisaged. First of all, it was never an Osimhen vs Cavani debate. It was only a reference to show how good Osimhen have come this season despite the struggles. And I did leave a note stating that no one should misinterpret my original post because there will always be that someone who is not smart enough to get the message. And as always it turned out to be you. ![]() Now on Cavani and Osimhen's first Napoli seasons, One played 35 league games with 32 starts. In all, 42 starts from 47 games and had 33 goals + 7 assists. No injury nightmares. Plus that was not Cavani's first season in Serie A. Cavani have had 4 full seasons in Italy before he Joined Napoli. But the other will finish "projectively" with 24 league games (16 starts). 30 games in all (19 starts). IN AN INJURY-RAVAGED SEASON. Also his first in Serie A. But currently on 10 goals + 3 assists in 28 games (17 starts). 13 goals contributions in 17 starts is just as good IN AN INJURY-RAVAGED SEASON (first season in Serie A). Added to the fact that Osimhen got to 10 Napoli Serie A goals in faster time than Cavani did IN AN INJURY-RAVAGED SEASON compared to Cavani's smooth sail. So, mister noisemaker... You are indeed a beer parlor analyst and a novice and yes ofcos my memes make you cry which is why you mention them. E pain you. ![]() Try again. Lol 10 Likes 4 Shares

He is a high-pressing centre forward who is constantly on the move. He is bound to miss chances as he isn't always gonna be balanced to hit them in. As long as he still bags goals, that is not a problem. Afterall, Lewandowski will win the European Golden shoe yet no one has missed sitters and big chances than him this season. In the Bundesliga alone he has missed 21 big chances (sitters, etc). Highest in the Bundesliga. Honestly you know nothing about pressing forwards. Even Timo Werner, another kind of pressing forward missed 21 big chances in the Bundesliga alone last season. Won't even speak of this season. And I ignored nothing. I keep saying 10 goals + 3 assists in 22 league games (14 starts). 28 games overall (17 starts). In an INJURY-RAVAGED season, how is that not impressive?? Abeg... Your ranting has no head nor tail. You just want to castigate the lad because of his huge fee. The money dey pain you? Na your money? Na wa. 12large1: 4 Likes 1 Share |

As in. Simple and short! How he doesn't get this is baffling for one who claims to know football from as far back as the 1600s. ![]() Napoli, especially ADL himself, said they paid that huge amount because his team of scouts and technical experts had assured him of the high potentials in Osimhen both for now and the long term. They assured him he was getting the Total striker package and looking at his age and ceiling of potentials, he had to cough out that huge record fee. Osimhen could easily have broken Ikpeba's Ligue 1 goals record for a single season if he had finished his 2019/2020 season with Lille. They still had 10 games to play. Even with 10 games to play they were impressed with his UCL showing and his 18 goals + 6 assists from 38 games (28 starts). He also finished as the Best African Player in France. He made the Ligue 1 TOTS in some reputable french publications plus he finished as the forward with the best counter press stats in Ligue 1 alongside Mbappe. So Napoli was convinced both about his goals and his all round potentials. 96 million dollars (81 million Euros) was paid for the overall high ceiling Osimhen commands. Simple. andrewbaba44: 7 Likes 1 Share |

12large1: Are you saying, that if for example CR7 played only one match for Juventus and scored a hatrick before sustaining a season-long injury, that he should be rated as poor for the season based on just 3 goals he scored? If number of games and minutes is irrelevant, how come Messi and Ronaldo are usually compared based on number of games and number of goals they have scored in their carrier? All stats are important. For a striker: Goal return ratio is important (this is efficiency). Likewise quality of goals (that's why some sites mention how many of the goals a striker scores is via penalty. That's why scouts watch videos without relying only on number of goals a season. Edit: a better way to use Stat is by analysing different stats side by side. There are some games for instance that Ndidi would be poor and still come out as highest in duel won. 1 Like |

12large1:My guy, you need to calm down and always put proper context to what people are saying. Not everything is black and white. Let me explain: The way I see it, you and thesupernerd are saying the same thing ultimately concerning Osimhen. The difference is that you seem to insinuate his injuries and illnesses are his fault, otherwise, why should he not have scored a lot more despite the high expectations. I do understand that with great power (huge transfer fee) comes great responsibility, but to be fair, he has been hindered this season. From his displays, it is obvious he will score a lot more goals next season, hopefully he stays injury free. Most of the things you say he doesn't have are the things he showed last season in Lille, which was why he cost that much and Napoli paid for him. It wasn't just the goals. With regards to his other contributions, yes scoring goals is his primary purpose. But other attributes are equally important like how well he plays, bringing his teammates into the game and creating chances for himself and others out of nothing. Otherwise, they'll just be another Crotone with a top scorer but zero end result fighting for relevance. It's not always about a player but also the team. There is a reason Firminho plays most of Liverpool's matches even though he doesn't score many goals. He is their number 9, but he assists more than he scores. There is more he brings to the team than just scoring goals. With regards to Ndidi, I hope you know he's studying at Leicester while playing professional football...as in he's in the university. He has said he wants to get his degree before ending his career. I reckon he's close to done with his studies and offers will definitely come. It's not like you are in Leicester's inner circle to know he has been rejecting offers due to small ambition. Not everything has to go the way you want it. You can't deny how good a player is because he is not playing for Madrid or United. We all know how Suarez was killing it at Ajax and did even better when he moved to Liverpool. He always had it. He did not suddenly become good because he was now in Liverpool. Same with Ibrahimovic, Kante, Bruno, etc. Vardy has been with Leicester for how many years now, churning out goals each season. That he has not left for a bigger club will not diminish his status as a top level striker. Harry Kane is another example. There was also Totti who spent his whole career in Roma despite the likes of Madrid always coming for him. It was his choice. That did not diminish his status. Infact, he is one of the legendary playmakers in Serie A and in football generally. My point is, when the time comes, Ndidi will get his big move and he will be even better. At the end of the day, football in this day and age is not black and white. There are many factors, considerations and stats to decisions being made. Sometimes, the devil is in the details. ![]() 29 Likes 9 Shares |

Many people dont understand there are some strikers that offer more to the team than scoring...we have some crazy strikers that won't even score but use their technical ability, speed and strength to destroy other team defense line...most defender will always be confuse whether to use high defensive line or low defensive some of these strikers are osihmen,Werner,firmino, et al...there is more to football than goals, assists,dribble et al...osihmen has justified his 90 million tag this despite his injury and woes this season I mean it not easy to come all the way from France to Italy and dominate the league...he scores almost in every match for his team if he doesn't score he assist what else do you want he is not the only one facing this woe even Werner harvetz,ziyech are all struggling...but that doesn't undermine the talent of this players... Seria A no be easy league even the great Ronaldo struggled at first in Juventus...so please let's calm for him to settle in the league have you all forgotten his pre season where he was on fire...osihmen has done well this season he is a team player he doesn't care about scoring as far as his team win that why gattuso will always have his trust in him yea there is room for improvement but he has done this season and let's hope he get better next season dettyballer 1 Like |

Oh my good man Chris, Uzoho has been active. I just couldn't include his performance in the weekly round up because my guy have conceeded for the past two games. In their last game over the weekend he was in goal as usual in a 6-1 win. But no clean sheet meant I didn't have to give him a mention. ![]() But don't worry, their overall season performance index is intact and still being updated till season is over. At the end, I will post Everything on our Goalkeepers, Strikers and then some midfielders. I haven't compiled the ones for defenders but that won't take much time when season end finally arrives.
