BascoVanVeli:


I don't see anything wrong with his social media. His club would have sanctioned him if there was.

If movement means staying onside I can agree but anything else is false. He creates so many chances with his movements and there are a lot left of the table by his teammates for one reason or another. This was why the coach spoke about them giving him the ball. If his movements were poor he would have never said that.

Movement here is runs and positions he makes to fashion scoring opportunities for himself, not offside awareness.

Osimhen lacks movement, which is a worry considering he has stayed at such a club for three years.

Mr Basco, TBH I like Osimhen just like you even defending his tweets as well but rethinking all this, I have to agree that Osimhen is becoming quite uncouth and wild.

If I were to see him on the streets, I would be anxious about approaching him for fear of being disrespected. TBH Ikpeba didn't say anything wrong. I Know that Nigerians can be annoying without minding their business, but someone who has an uncouth behavior is equally as bad.

Honestly, there's nothing in this life that commands more respect than having self control and treating others with respect. Osimhen wasn't this loud online before his Napoli transfer. Money corrupts in a way. Take a look at Elon Musk, he wasn't this loud and silly on Twitter before his wealth skyrocketed in 2020.

So he wasn't making money in Wolfsburg and Lille U act like he came from a rich family or something. The lad had nothing before he went to Germany. If what u are saying is true we would have seen it way before now. We all have moments that we are not proud of. Victor has not put his hands on anybody u are reaching with the uncouth and wild statement.

Harry Kane was all by himself and went for a bicycle kick and nobody got on television saying he should have brought the ball down. But Victor with 3 people around him should have brought the ball down and scored. Funny that no one else had that same opinion.

The sad part is that he's still eligible to play for Belgium, the German dinosaur had ample opportunities to captie him but he refused.

You see that goal Ronaldo just scored against Chelsea, that's down to elite movement not the pass.

The movement was so fluid, he had enough time to control and shoot.

Osimhen is explosive, but intelligent runs, he is very lacking.

I don’t think Ozornwafor has it, I was thinking of Ndah but I don't know if his South African form will translate to Europe

Is Osimhen better than Lukaku? What do you mean it's easier to displace Lukaku than Osimhen? Stocked in striking department that could only score a penalty in 180 minutes against a poor Ghana side.

100% agree on everything except the social media.

When analysing the attributes of a striker, the last thing I usually check is finishing, because in my opinion, this is a mental attribute, not really ability.

Osimhen greatest weakness is movement.

You should watch Harry Kane and then with shame retract that statement.

Continue shouting poor Ghana side up and down.

Hope you'd tell that to Italy that couldn't get one past North Macedonia in their home for 90 minutes.

Or is the North Macedonian side better than the Ghanians?

Osimhen is not technically astute and that's almost impossible to teach once you pass 16/17.

He doesn't have the technicality for that kind of sublime touch.

The Ghanaian side was a very poor one, they were one of the lowest scorers in the group stages. North Macedonia scored 23 goals in the group stages compared to Italy's 13 although the former conceded more.
They had more points tally than Italy as a second placed team although I'll have to admit that Italy were obvious favorites.

I still think he can improve though. Perhaps the players around him (if they're top to tier) can rub off on him
