Dessers has a playing time agreement in his contract for Cremonese. That's why he's not being benched.

Or else he is a certified flop.


And that's how to sign a contract, not the one that will keep you glued to the bench like nacho, who don't care about playing time

Yes Haaland has an uncanny knack for getting his positioning right in the opposition box. However I think Victor would give Man City more dynamism and unpredictability in attack considering how he drifts to the wide areas. Haalaad no doubt is probably the best finisher in the game right now but Osimhen's other qualities could also make him an ideal target man for the Cityzens.



Everything you have said here boils down to my stance in the Haaland vs Osimhen debate held here on this thread last year or so...


I said... Osimhen is a more well rounded and complete CF compared to Haaland but Haaland is the Ultimate Finisher.

Many people on this thread disagreed. Some called me a paid PR talkative.

But this season, just like last season, is again proving me right. I have analysed both players for a long time and could confidently drop my take and now some are beginning to see the light.

To everyone finally seeing how much more well rounded Osimhen is in the CF role compared to Goals Machine Haaland... I say cheers and welcome to the club. 😂😁😁

Abeg oo grin

Make una no jinxxx am oo grin grin

If Osimhen fit score at least 2 against every bottom half opposition, e go sweet me

However, Naples coach need to manage his minutes very well to ensure that Star boy doesn't get injured ooo

Osimhen's quality has never been in doubt... Wolfsburg is the only team he's ever played for and didn't perform which was largely due to injuries...
He could have scored 20+ goals last season if not for injures...
I hope he stays injury free..there's no stopping him right now!

I think what egbon Kog45 means is that Osimhen scored those goals at clutch moments when his team needed something to happen. Any player can score a world class goal but scoring them at crucial moments is another thing.

TheLoneCitizen:


How many world class goals are scored by average players week-in, week-out?

That doesn't define world class.

Dessers was big fish Belgian citizen when Cremonese signed him. He called the shots.

Nacho was only a university student looking to help his family back in Owerri.

It's too easy to score in Serie A. The level of the league is low. If you have the physique you are dominant. As was Lukaku. The true top player of Napoli is not Osimhen. The top player is Kvaratskhelia.

That goal against Roma was masterclass.I remember he scored similar goal in the first stanza of the season against same Roma and it always take a special player to do the same against a team with highly tactical coach.... Sincerely,my opinion Victor Osimehn is a world class player.

Give us solution please. I’m not speaking that Nwakali deserves a call up. What’s your solution?

komekn:


I am not recommending league one players because I have higher expectations for the SE.

However, NWAKALI level his club and his segment of the Segunda division, is considerably below league one.

Let's have an objective appraisal not an emotive one based on perceptive preference.

Do you think that the lower segment of the Segundo division is better than English league one. And if yes substantiate your position please. Let me appreciate your point of view and if possible debunk it .

You ready , Ukodo is on the fire 🔥 cooking.

Explain why Salah didn't score as much in Serie A as he did in only his first season in England.

Salah hasn't gone below 19 in England in the last 5 seasons but couldn't surpass 15 in Italy. Smh.

Also, Lukaku is back in Serie A. Why hasn't he outscored anyone?

Kvara is certainly one of the X-factors in the league and in this Napoli team but so also is Osimhen. Kvara leads in attacking sequence involvements in the league but that is unsurprising as he is a fantastic vertically-oriented creative winger.

Kvara have had his down moments too. He struggled vs Roma at the Olimpico while Osimhen came up Clutch. Kvara wasn't present vs Atalanta while Osimhen scored and assisted in the lad's absence.

Osimhen has come up Clutch for Napoli more than any other player in the league this season.

Both are tops and Osimhen is indeed the main man. It takes a lot of Composure and top mentality to be able to get on the end of moves like Osimhen have done times and again this season.

And he doesn't get spoon fed all the time. He literally has to FIGHT for some balls that look like lost causes and create goals out of them. Like he did today vs Spezia for the first goal. Like he did vs Ajax in the UCL or like he did vs Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Funny how you lots wanna talk down on the Serie A now because Osimhen is doing great damage to the league's defensive-minded reputation.


Please say something else.

Osimhen last season without Kvara scored 14 goals and 5 assists in 27 games...

Don't talk like he hasn't been scoring before Kvara came into the picture

I won't mind having Napoli' head coach as Liverpool's manager. He seems to be a far better game reader than Klopp (X10)
You all said the same thing before hiring Klopp.

Such unselfish play for Kvara to gift that assist to Osimhen. I presume that this duo are either friends off the pitch or Kvara like some great players like Bergkamp, Xavi, Ozil enjoy giving assist.

Osimhen is unstoppable now. The elements have aligned for him. He is his name - Victor!
