Watching Galatasaray match today, I noticed that his team mates are most times slow in releasing the ball to Osimhen...it's part of his numerous offsides
This is true, but there are many times he just doesn’t hold his run well.

I said Valencia would be a good move for him. Hope he continues to find form.

His players should have known by now that he is fast, they should learn to give him accurate quick through passes and watch him run wonders.

That goal that was disallowed was Sanchez's fault, just holding on the ball for too long, Osimhen was trying to stay onside in that situation, but baba release late pass spoil my man hat-trick.

Galatasaray is a shitty club, most of their players are overhyped. Their only saving grace is that they started the season well.
The only 2 top professionals at Galatasaray are Osimhen and Lemina.

Lookman, Aina are London boys, but they still ooze Nigerianness.

Even Eze seems more Nigerian than him.
Lookman, Aina and Eze all grew up in South London where you have a lot of Nigerians unlike Bassey who grew up in East London (Newham to be precise) with a lot of South Asian like Pakistani and Bangladeshi people. Same with those who grew up in North London E.g Saka and Nwaneri. They really don't have that Naija vibe like those who grew up in South specifically South east where we have the highest Nigerian community.

is this laced with any tinge of ethnic nationalism. All the players born home or diaspora are Nigerian as long as they got Nigerian heritage
I don't even see in ethnicism or have any such discrimination.

It's a lighthearted point-out which SUBZERO attested to.

Yeah, I didn't add him and Mertens because Icardi has been injured and Mertens is very old, doesn't play often anymore.

By the way, watching Fulham's last game reminded me of Iwobi's quality. Man is an excellent crosser and cuts back brilliantly.

If we had capable midfielders, I would have suggested we play him on the Right wing like we used to. His crosses and cutbacks from the wings will be perfect for Osimhen and Lookman. Chukwueze can't give you that, he prefers to attempt a dribble to cut in and shoot from his left foot which nine out of ten times, doesn't succeed.

I really think we are wasting Iwobi by forcing him to be a no. 10 or a no. 8.

PS: Bassey really impressed me with his ball-playing possession-football capabilities. Man is improving daily.

How? Buendia misfired and Victor pounced because he(Victor) was already in a better position, then Buendia started complaining unnecessarily.

Just deeped that Osimhen has subtly recruited United and Chelsea’s biggest Twitter influences Trey and Janty in preparation for that summer PR.

Flown them to Istanbul on several occasions.

Very shrewd.


PS: "recruit" here means allegiance not money.

His best attribute is passing, he's skillful but a very poor dribbling.

The best attribute of winger is dribbling.

It's math brother.

Looking back, Osimhen should have accepted the pay cut and moved to Chelsea since both were desperate for the move.

He has an awful agent.

Accept a low salary and demand high signing-on fee like 10m

And then appearance-related increment or goal bonus.

So that is 18m in first year
About 10m in second year.

That's how a Raiola or Jorge Mendes would have structured the deal.
I've seen the light now. Osimhen was right not to accept paycut.

[quote author=jihday post=134374958]Boniface and teammate Buendia almost exchanged blows over the weekend remember once in the EPL when 2 Newcastle players deck themselves blows. Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer and both got sent off grin grin
If I were Alonso, I would sell him off at the end of the season.
Modified: Zicky has brought another good angle which I see reason. However Mukiele tried hard to pacify him, same as Tah until he appeared to calm down.

Maybe Ekong not fully fit. Most newspapers are just speculating about the list, until it is released
