MetalJigsaw:
Not a 100 million player - Liverpool legend warns clubs against signing Osimhen

pulsesports.ngFeb 23, 2024 11:16 AM

Former Liverpool and Real Madrid star has made a damning statement about Napoli and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

Former Real Madrid and Liverpool star, Steve McManaman, has asserted that Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen is not worth £100 million at the moment.


Osimhen, who is increasingly likely to leave Napoli at the end of the season, has been linked with a move to the Premier League next season, and McManaman has shared his thoughts on the potential move.


Chelsea are looking to solve their goalscoring issues in the summer and are reportedly leading the race to sign Napoli's Victor Osimhen

McManaman believes Osimhen not worth 100 Million
Speaking on TNT Sports, McManaman said:

“His sellable value means it has to be the Premier League because German clubs do not have not got the finances.


"The big teams in Spain have not got the finances, particularly if Real Madrid take Mbappe.

“The only place he can go is the Premier League and he is certainly not playing like a £100 million player and that is what they want for him.”

I watched the studio analysis where he said this, that's typical Brits for you, na their way, raising the bar unecessarily when it's not warranted.

If Osimhen didn't score that night, I wonder what he would have said. phew

Joebie:
He uses words that are unnecessary making one lose the substance of the write up in the first place. That’s an unintelligent way of communicating.

He writes to prove that he sabi English not to communicate which is not necessarily a problem. It's just that his own leaves one with sudden headiness.

comodo:

I just read where he said that Fulham threw away Anguissa and bought Iwobi. The same Anguissa in Napoli. Please help me ask him if Fulham is bigger than Napoli also? Because that's what his write up signifies.

If you don't want headache, avoid him oo

Tolu start for Genk

Yira Sor on the bench

Joebie:
Should I have said his winning system in the AFCON? And he was condemned because he was not successful. Just because he failed at it does not mean it cannot be done. It’s not just about the formation you adopt, it’s how you play.

That little detail is important because Jpes kinda stumbled on that ultra defensive strategy more as a coping mechanism not like that is his method (except if he continues with it) but the way you put it is as if that's how we've been playing under him.

chrisooblog:
JP really sucked him dry like a discarded orange. At a time I fretful about his health especially after the Angola game.

Man even lost 4kg on his return to Naples. 😁

Mujtahida:

Truth is that after that Cameroun game, our players never recovered. That match was played at a frightfully frenetic pace with our players giving their all. They climbed that hill and every other one was too much for them.

Osimhen had to go down late in the game for JP to take the cue.

Joebie:
Possibly Iwobi as well, but he didn’t excel in his assigned responsibility. Watching Iwobi at club he was never a GOOD tackler. He only closes his man down, but that’s it. He excels while advancing. Iwobi cannot excel in an ultra defensive set up.

Reason why he is getting more criticisms.

Assigned responsibility that he was not quite suited for. If Aribo was in form he would have been a better option to pair Onyeka in that midfield

Mujtahida:
No dribbling again in football. Was just thinking about this this morning.

What happened? Pass, pass, morning till night. Isn't that tiring? That's why I hate tiki taka with everything in me.

Football is a game created by the romantic mind of men (before any one argues consider what a goal is - isn't that an orgasmic experience) and dribbling is the supreme romantic art.

If I were a coach there are three things I will emphasize in my players: good first touch, dribbling skills and eyes for space.

I wish South America continued to be the dominant force in football. Europeans have made football bland.

Baba, your head, too GBASKEE!!!

comodo:

Between Napoli & Fulham, which one is a bigger club?

He will tell you that one player's salary for Fulham will pay all Napoli's players salary.

Hope he's not being punished for joining us for the AFCON against his team's preference?

The poured everything out in that match. Beyond that match we only got dregs. They outdid themselves.

That's my perception oo. From time to time I rail like this against modern football. But I cannot stop a moving train. It's inexorable for football to continue along this part.

MetalJigsaw:
I'm sure if Osimhen was English he wouldnt make such an envious speech.

Aside Kane who is at the tail end of his career no English player is even worth above 50m and that is hurting them.

No mind am. There are good English players though.

I was referring to komek.n

Wait, you're not Ghanaian? The name sounds Ghanaian. I'm sorry bro. Thought you're one of those Ghana trolls. I'm sorry

This guy and Moses Usor just disappeared laidat...

I made the same observation during AFCON. Most people here probably misunderstood me. Africans are known for showboating but most AFCON matches na just pass... pass ..pass and inshallah. People forget that what bring thrills to the football game are the occasional dribbles and humiliation. Nowadays, everybody is following Pep's footsteps.

Back then, you will marvel at the way FBs ran the entire byline just to whip in one wicked cross. Today, they're inverting. Let me add that the 'contact' effect is no more too. Small shove like this, player will fall immediately and you look up to see the ref brandishing the almighty yellow card. The coaches can't even jubilate again. They will be sanctioned.

such a shame

Jpes no try at all.

Yira Sor scored Genk’s only goal in their 0-1 away win against Charleroi

Read somewhere that Arthur okonkwo switch to us is fake news 📰 oo 😩😩

Amedino99:
Jpes no try at all.

they were all on National duty, Let Notthingham rest jor

Amedino99:
Jpes no try at all.

Couldn't join use bruno onyemaechi in olas position.
Jp needs to stop been a one trick pony. He could have changed players and formation for the final. He lost anyway.
I hope he learns from his mistake

AndSunGorilla:

it's still unclear. Ndidi is the only player Injured according to the coach but even vardy did not make the match day squad. Either nacho (and vardy) failed last minute fitness test or he was not picked in the first place.

mostob:
This guy and Moses Usor just disappeared laidat...

Them no disappear Uzor is balling in Austria even scored against Liverpool in the Europa league and Sor just scored Genk winning goal today

Exactly.

As regards Aribo, what was he effective doing when he was in form?

Mujtahida:

Assigned responsibility that he was not quite suited for. If Aribo was in form he would have been a better option to pair Onyeka in that midfield

We are saying essentially the same thing.

Mujtahida:

He writes to prove that he sabi English not to communicate which is not necessarily a problem. It's just that his own leaves one with sudden headiness.

We all know he adopted that after EG. Nobody is debating that. I was only implying that was his system because we played that way in most of our matches in AFCON.

Mujtahida:

That little detail is important because Jpes kinda stumbled on that ultra defensive strategy more as a coping mechanism not like that is his method (except if he continues with it) but the way you put it is as if that's how we've been playing under him.

Read the article and for sure, there is nothing in it. Just a man ranting. Chris Waddle sounds here like a man who is tactically naive.

He is talking about his feeling of running with the ball and losing it?

Modern game is about coaching nonsense out of players. Running with the ball for praises is nothing. It offers nothing to the team.

However, playing with direction and purpose is key. Now you dribble for a reason, not for fun.

The art is not dying. It is now defined because tactical defending is here to stay. Careless dribbling will lead to putting your team at a disadvantage.

Watch this clip and see the art of dribbling delivered in its pure form.

I know, but worth above 50m? Nah
