If he makes any move, it should be to France. He won't deliver in PL.

Saying he won't deliver in EPL now is not necessarily being pessimistic but realistic.

Orban at his current level of development might struggle in the premier league however the French ligue 1 though a higher level of football compared to Belgium will give him room to express himself, make mistakes and ultimately flourish.

I remember last season there was a run of games either 8 or 10 can't remember where Moffi wasn't scoring but Lorient kept starting him. Will an EPL club be so generous especially if you're a foreigner? (read black man)

I have a question

Seeing as it is almost certain Vic Osimhen would win the serie a and top goalscorer award, would winning the UCL put Vic Osimhen in Ballon D'or contention?

I need your honest and unbiased takes
I do think in recent memories highest goal scorers in the top five leagues are usually nominated for the Ballon! I am sure he will be nominated. Winning it will depend on how crucial his goals will be in Napoli's Champions league journey!
Even these Europeans are clamoring for Kvara to be given the Seria A best player ahead of Oshimen. It

for Man united and chelsea fans in the house, i need to get your opinion on this......


someone said that Osimhen is the much smarter buy for man united in terms of age profile but in terms of playing profile Kane is much more what United needs as they're currently constructed.

He also said that Osimhen is a super low touch player (striker) who is mainly a box striker, and that even Haaland is involved in play for City more than Osimhen for Napoli.

He said that osi is the kind of player who simply won't touch the ball all game and then head in a goal. He is in the 4th percentile in passes attempted per game despite playing in the most possession-heavy side in Serie A. .

So analysts in the house,what are your thoughts

The osimhn u watched is not like that at all. He is too naturally active not to touch the ball all game. In fact it sounds like a balatant lie. He is basically goid at pressing and is hardworking.

From Adepoju Tobi Samuel

[b]RE: Finidi George & Ike Shoromu being sacked:

The statement read: As part of cost-cutting measures instituted at the beginning of the new administration, we established a rotation policy among the assistant coaches, based on the high number, which was agreed with all of them. The last time that the team had a programme, Mr. Finidi George was the person who travelled for the friendly match in Portugal. This rotation policy is only for matches. When there is a tournament, all of them will be with the team.

He knew at that time that the next trip would be that of Mr. Usman Abdallah. Abdallah is simply taking his turn to be in the camp for the program of Super Eagles Vs Djurtus of Guinea Bissau, and Mr. George will be around for the next program.

The other person who could have been contending, Mr. Salisu Yusuf, has been sent to the U23 team. There was no victimization, sleight of hand or any disrespect meant to our illustrious ex-international players.

The case of goalkeepers’ trainer, Ike Shorounmu is somewhat peculiar, as the former Nigeria goalkeeper showed a clear lack of desire to be in camp for the matches against Guinea Bissau.

We do not want to go into any details because we have the utmost respect for all our ex-internationals, including Mr. Shorounmu. It was only when we got the clear signal that he was unwilling to come, and the Head Coach was in a quandary, that he (Coach Peseiro) requested for the services of Olatunji Baruwa, who he had seen at work during the U20 AFCON in Egypt, to help do the work of training the goalkeepers.

We agree there are a number of challenges concerning contracts of coaches of National Teams that we need to speedily resolve. The NFF is working on these and the issues will soon be in the past.[/b]

This analysis isn't factual. It's pure BS filled with lies. Victor is very much involved in plays than one carea to admit. He helps the team defensively (very few strikers can boast of this), he initiates high press and wins balls very often (yesterday's 4th goal is a testament), he holds up play wonderful, wins aerial duels etc.

To now limit his contribution to simply being a "box striker" is being dishonest.

For Man U to go after Kane means they want experience over form. Personally speaking, I don't want Osimhen near Man U because of envy and Racism in the team. Man U is a very sentimental club and thus they will always swing the Kane way which is ok. It's one thing to play in Man U, it's another to excel there with the mentality of self serving and glory seeking players (A la Sancho and Greenwood)
Currently their Gokdenboy boy is rashford. Once another star he hits a bad patch, another selfish player takes over. Teamwork gets thrown out the window.

Has anyone ever asked or wondered what life would have been for Osimhen if a certain Insigne and his fellow selfish politano were still running the show?

Very correct analysis

Oil dey your head bro

I advise osimhen to avoid any team with a star player already praised by that team's fans

If Osimhen is smart, he will take his time to seek a club that (not necessarily in England) needs a striker badly

Barca and Bayern won't be bad. Staying another 1 or 2 seasons in Napoli won't be bad either

PSG should be avoided at all cost because there's no way Mbappe will let Osimhen take glory. Same with Real Madrid. No way players like Vinicius would let Osimhen thrive.

Chelsea is not a good destination because that team is unstable tactically and there's no telling what could happen to them next season

Arsenal just saw a recent upturn in form. There's no telling what next season could bring for them. If not, Arsenal would've been the best destination in England

And I am a Liverpool fan by the way before one unintelligent person accuses me of sentiments

I am one of the few persons who feel Victor should stay one more season in Napoli. He obviously would win the league title this season. As it is, Napoli just needs to win the next 5 league games and they win the scudetto. This Napoli team is strong enough to compete for the Champions League next season should they miss it this season.

Arsenal in my opinion is the best place for Victor in the EPL should he chose to leave. He'll get fed just like he currently enjoys in Napoli, but more importantly it's the team with less ego compared to the rest. Sadly I don't think Arsenal can afford him.

I saw this stupid take on Twitter

And it'sby a white man nonetheless

Why would he agree that Osimhen is better than Kane currently? What do you expect from such racist fans?

Why even take such people seriously

Is it not obvious that osimhen works harder thn any striker in Europe currently

The last goal against torino is a perfect example

Osimhen struggles and wins the duel against a centre back nonetheless and then passes to Kvara who sets up Ndombele for the Goal

If you watch closely the celebration that followed, one of the Napoli players was prasising Osimhen for fighting for that ball

Yeye whites wey no fit mention name of 4 teams outsied EPL na him you wan take seriously?

I saw the take on twitter and I sabi the Idiot wey talk am

Some things na to just read, shake head and pass

Even former world class strikers not fit talk am, na one Obsese white man wey still dey him parents apartment you wan take serious
