I can't say for others, but I do not think anything in my post made mention of me knowing him before Napoli.
The commentator clearly called him the Captain of the Georgia National team.
Blame the commentator, not us.
A simple google search will give anyone with time info about him.
It is not a big deal, mister!
TheSuperNerd:
I have seen this misinformation repeated more than twice now in here and I need to correct it. Several of you were watching the guy for the first time and in Napoli colors too, so I can understand. grin

Truth is he is not Georgia's captain. Never captained them even once from the start of his 17 internationals. At least not yet. So make una dey cool down.

The lad dey ball now in Serie A and almost everyone wan dey do like they don sabi the guy since. grin

Omo, make una calm down ooo... a certain Kushia is Georgia's Captain. Not Kvaradona (Coined by DrDoom3) AKA Georgian Messi (Kvarakill). grin

Gavin Bazunu. We gave him a mention on this thread back in 2017-2018 since when he was at Shamrock Rovers in Ireland before Man city snapped him up for their youth system.
Nigerian-Irish and eligible then but today, He's an Irish international.

Brilliant young shot-stopper still growing good.

What could have been? embarassed embarassed

Both of them are playing away from home baba grin

To make it worst Roma will be playing at juve
Napoli should be able to beat Fiorentina...
Juventus haven't started too well this season, but Roma even with Mourinho aren't a threat..

Serie A in the past few years has become more competitive than before when Juventus were beating everybody...the problem is that some of the top teams are inconsistent...

Okay, you claim to have heard it from the commentator? Then you and that commentator were obviously watching him for the first time. grin

And actually Repeated Misinformation is a big deal for me, Mister.

And if a Google search was so "simple", why haven't you done this simple thing?

And you missed the point with your first statement. That had more to do with others than it had to do with just you. So that's it.

Napoli are favorite to win against fiorentina for sure ,but fiorentina won on their last 2 meetings sha

Napoli has been in good form so far but I still don’t trust them though

Oshimen always makes the right moves, but the Napoli players hold on to the ball for far too long. If Oshimen improves his shooting technique then he might win the ballon one day!

Yes. I read this article. It was actually focused on Kvaratskhelia's vertical playing style (And it's effects on how Napoli plays now) than on Osimhen but this part of the article really highlighted the ever improving motion-intelligence of Osimhen in the final third.
Napoli MFs need to do more to really find Victor and ofcos Victor gotta keep fine-tuning his shooting technique. He will get there coz he just keeps improving with every match.

Opta-Analyst's Sam McGuire did a great Job on this one.

Of course, the focus is Kvaratskhelia. I just like the way he shoots the ball. It's graceful. Reminds me of Van Persie! I just wish Oshimen can shoot like that!

Players' technique in shooting, passing, lofting, first touch, ball control and more will always differ.
But then, some can be worked on.

But again, there will always be scorers who go for power rather than placement. And there will be those who choose placement over Power.

With Osimhen, he can always choose both. I trust that the better he gets, the more polished his shooting style/technique will become and will be able to vary them based on in-game circumstances.

That team lacks creative miďfielders and will loose. Salisu yusuf is making the mistake of packing the team with forwards and ignoring ghf midfield.
Im not sure but what do u think of our midfielders. I hope im wrong. But from my intwrnet search as dont watch the pfl te best attacking midfielders were nt chsen. Maybe yuou can shed more light on this issue.

He was poor. So sluggish. Wasted opportunities to move the ball quicker and create chances. Also lazy to track back and provide bodies forward in counter attacks.

He will need time to adapt to the pace and physicality of the EPL.
