Moffi needs to watch his back o! cause it seems Akor is looking to be the Nigerian real deal in Ligue 1, after Osimhen the No 2 striking position is so competitive that ANY man can take it...right now it's a straight battle between Moffi, Awo, Gift Orban, Akor Adams, Vic Boniface and even Chuba Akpom for that No 2 man.

Orban no be human being and I believe that he can challenge osimehn for that number 1 position

If we must use both as CFs, they bring something different to the attack. It’s only a plus for us.

For me Awoniyi’s position is sealed.

I won't be that confident, the No 2 is up for grabs at this point.

It’s 1-3. Will we eventually get the last of the German-Nigerian CB trio to play for us?

Doing it in the EPL, Awo will definitely get invites. But if Orban continues in his beastly mode he can challenge anyone.

What area of the game is Osimhen better than Orban? Let’s forget that Osimhen is PROVEN for a moment. I’m starting this conversation to explore what is possibly lacking in Orban’s game and vice versa — not to talk down on any player. What will Orban potentially add to our CF position?

It is about time we dropped Iheanacho and Musa to make space for Boniface and Orban.

How is Orban's hold up play and aerial threat? Plus I stand to be corrected but I don't think there's any Nigerian forward that's as fast as Osimhen for now.

definitely headers, positioning, pace (not to sure),

I’ve not really watched him though. We definitely need crossers. To me Bassey is decent at that

Definitely headers. Not positioning. Pace is debatable.

I agree with your points for Osimhen.

Movement and positioning are quite related. Orban seems to be better at all you listed. But we need to see him against top class defenders to make these conclusions.

I like this SofaScore new feature. It gives you an imagery if you have not seen the highlights or not watching the game.

It tells you the situation, the part of the body used in the goal attempt, the direction of the ball, and the outcome.

For example Akor’s goal below, was due to a fast beak situation. He struck the ball with his left foot. The ball went to the low center of the goal, and the outcome was successful.
Bro, you dey give me Joy this evening.. God bless you.

We currently do not have a player with this kind of ability.
Just look at his stats.

So United pulled out of osimhen's deal, because of his price tag?. But were able to afford Antony the dancer for 100m? Rubbish..

In today's inflated football market that price tag of 140 - 150m is not too bad, but realistically he's worth 110 - 120m

The only CF closer to Osimehn in abilities in SE is Taiwo Awoniyi.They share the same similarities but Osimehn is unstoppable when it comes to goal scoring.

Orban will need to move from Belgium league,though his abilities are quite different from others.

you are right with your comparison of osimhen and awo. Both are similar but osimhen comes out on top because I think he is more better on the ball and good in tight spaces

Orban is different, more like Aguero, Martins and current city’s striker Alvarez

I think Orban may struggle if played as a lone striker especially against more physical and tall defenders but will fit in well if he is deployed upfront with osimhen or awo as partner

I think jpes if still in charge to try out the 3 man defense tactics which will accommodate 2 front men as strikers. In such system Orban will blossom

That's not a celebration na grin

Examples of REAL celebrations are Iwobi's pose, Samu's show the name, Ajibade's pose and even Ighalo's run to the corner flag.

Knee slides, fist pumps or just running to ur fans are examples of basic celebrations.

the problem is that Napoli won’t accept even the 150m

I am just happy that in osimhen’s new contract their is a clause that any club that comes up with 125m euros he will be sold
