I've always been a advocator of people doing whatever makes them happy...
If going to Saudi at this point makes osihmen happy... Regardless upon still of you guys opinion 😂😂

It makes him happy and fulfilled so make him go there... Shikena

Everybody go dey alright las las

Mujtahida:
He should have just stayed with Gala. I'm highly disappointed

Na who offer money pass Napoli and osihmen will go with!

Hmmm 😑🌝

Philosopher1979:
Osumhen should reject this , take a pay cut and go to a top 5 league. Time is sometimes mire important than money. He needs to be in the top 5 league fir the next 7 years. Money cannot buy back that time. He can go get his money in 7 years time. He will regret this decision. Heard real madrid ate interested. He should insist on real madrid and take a paycut

Please take a pay cut when moving to another job offer. It's very easy to say when you are not in oshimhen's shoes.

Tosin hasn't given us the green light yet and before you go off on your favorite punching bag the NFF, He was asked pointedly by a Nigerian journalist after the Europa Conference League Final of his availability for the SE and he gave a none committal answer. Besides having watched him throughout the season he doesn't look like a vast step up in quality to what we currently have however his addition will be welcome if he wants to join the setup.

Iroegbunam and Chukwuemeka are prospects but both can't be realistically ready for September which is the basis of the suggested list for the qualification games coming up. Additionally both players as talented as they are haven't shown distinct quality that they will upgrade our current setup in the short term.

Tella featured in the Unity Cup. He's ok but not the wow. Not an upgrade to what we currently have.


Etebo has not really in the conversation for the past 4-5 years surprised you're bringing his name up. Last I heard was playing in some very low level league plus diminishing returns has entered into his game seriously. No more the player that was solid during the 2017-19 period for the SE.

Chukwueze looks to be picking up under Chelle. The ability is there just needs to build consistency.

Tell me one CB better than him Tosin in the SE , a non committal answer is exactly that. Nigeria has notsfr an official quest to get him and neither has England. All he can do is wait for who will come knocking first. And it's not etiquette for players to beg to be selected you get invited you do not invite yourself.

I really really liked Etebo expected him to destroy the Championship 🏆 but it destroyed him it seems. After his exploits in the world cup had great expectations.

Tella has not a enough games to judge him he is a far better crosser of the ball than Chukwueze who can't cross a ball to save his Life.

Osimhen's overenthusiasm might be his weakness. He really needs to learn a whole lot. Pls if I recall well, when he won the league with Napoli he flew his family in to Italy . His elder sister had called him out on social media to express her pain (this things all starts in the family) about how Osimhen treated her husband who was Osimhen's agent/sponsor. In fact she was barely happy in any of the photos, her unmet psychological expectations from the sour relationship...

Osimhen wins the league with Gala and this time brings in Tunde Ednut , VDM and his beloved all loving family of twitter influencers. His daughter and Cameroonian girlfriend (still in his life picture) but without his immediate family to celebrate the rally?? Why though will this happen?

His outburst with Finidi is left to time to heal for me as a Nigerian . But his medium and language of communication was totally preposterous. Is that how he actually talks when pissed or upset? That's not a man stuff and I recall his elder sister spelling it out that he is a boy.
Paparazzi are always flooding or after celebrities, but you will go after one and snatch his camera or whatever happened, this can only be swept under the carpet by the influence of his big club Gala. but to others in the business this seems like a turn off in personality. Even Balotelli is more European to Osimhen, Ballo could attract the big clubs he is black with an Italian identity. You are not.
Osimhen cannot continue to be a boy. Life will hit you and to go to Saudi , because of who or what is a backhand slap on his quality of football. Quietly , Fabian Ruiz is doing great with PSG. Kvara scored in the CL final as well. Kim Min will always win at Bayern. Wining at Gala is good. going to Saudi is bad. But worse is his character that cannot sustain his relationship with family and his work.

But balotelli despite a worse attitude got to play for Inter, Ac Milan, man city, and Liverpool. 4 big clubs gave balotelli a chance. The issue is a Wage or Napoli slandering him on the backend

I am even tired of the whole KSA transfer gist. This was the last post from Buchi regarding the offer.


"Lastly, There’s no agreement between Al Hilal & Victor Osimhen. First 2 offers rejected and he’s taking his time on the 3rd offer & also considering all other offers. He’s in no rush to make a crucial decision.

"Victor Leaves for Nigeria today to properly start his holidays"

This was posted few minutes ago

Ppogbae:
Ever since Napoli won that historic league title, Osimhen and Kvara's career trajectories have been complete polar opposites. Heck Kim Min Jae has gone on to win Bundesliga with Bayern.

I don't care how people on this thread continue to justify this situation, but at 26 years old one of the best strikers in the world has no business playing in Saudi Arabia. Victor should be rubbing shoulders with the world's best at the highest levels. If any of these Al Hilal reports are true, then it is truly disappointing. You can go and justify this situation anyhow, but this is truly disappointing. I hope I am wrong and he makes the right choice.

very disappointed if he later signs for al hilal. Saudi move is for retirees not people in their prime na. as much as we feel betrayed by his decision, we also have to remember we cannot dictate what he should do in his career. Gutted reading the news but Good luck to him on his new club and the rest of his career.

I honestly thought Victor would've emulated CR7's career and be breaking UCL records by now. That dude is a special generational talent and could surpass the likes of African giants like Salah and Mane.

Oh well he is still young so let's see where this takes him.

Osimhen's transfer has always been full of suspense, from Lille to Napoli, from Napoli to Galatasaray.

I'm very sure he would always choose what is best for him and I wish him well in his sojourn.

Whether in Europe or anywhere else he chooses to ply his trade, I would always be an Osimhen fan.

The monster machine journey so far......

Only a minute number of footballers have this to their names.

Are you Tosin's confidant to know if anyone has approached him to play for Nigeria? Iwobi has also said he spoke to him the decision is up to Tosin when he's ready. Bassey is at worst the same level as Tosin. Again I repeat Adarabioyo doesn't bring anything dramatically special to upgrade the backline. Nice to have but not must have.

If Tella was an upgrade on Chukwueze I would be the first to call for his inclusion but he's not. Nathan is not a regular starter at Leverkusen plus how many assists does he have from crosses that you dubbed him 'far better' than Samuel?

Chukwueze's problem is consistency. Once that is sorted his game will go up a level. He has shown in club and national team football to be devastating when on his game.

It's normal for a player of Osimhen's pedigree to generate speculation.

That said I believe Victor is a smart young man who will make the best decision for his career.

If Saudi are the only serious suitors in terms of money then I would rather he stay with Gala.

Raphael Onyedika and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru's impact are one the reasons why we kept possession of the ball in midfield and in the opposition's half.

Both are excellent at the game of passing.

We win a lot of duels in the middle, but go on to lose the ball because of an errant pass from a midfielder or from a forward.
But yesterday's was different.

2024/25 stats...

Tella: 0.1 crosses per game (8%)

Tella played 27 league games (17 starts) totalling 1,368 mins.

Chukwueze: 0.4 crosses per game (20%)

Chukwueze played 26 league games (9 starts) totalling 947 mins.

Somehow, Chukwueze has a better cross metric than Tella.

Also, Tella is not getting any younger. Like Chukwueze (already 26), Tella will hit 26 yrs next month. I wonder what magically exponential improvement he is gonna make at 26. Against Jamaica, he didnt impress. Looked very lightweight.

As for Tosin... you can keep rambling about a 27y/o CB going on 28 in 3 months' time still waiting for an England callup. CALVIN BASSEY EASILY OUTSHONE HIM IN 24/25 AND Both are CBs. Also, Bassey's 24/25 campaign across several individual performance metrics and minutes played beat each of Tosin's fulham campaigns/metrics of 22/23, 21/22 and 20/21. So yeah, dead on arrival.

Frank Onyeka has improved tremendously, both in his game of duels and passing the ball. His long balls are becoming very good.

I feel like Osimhen would have taken better decisions if he was educated

Na the bad company weh osimhen dey keep dey worry am …. Which future is has he not secured already?

The money he earns from napoli/gala is very huge

he is just greedy and lack ambition at the moment

Where was Cubana chief priest and the likes when osimhen was languishing in Wolfsburg

Osimhen should use his head

Crystal Palace FA Cup winner, Eberechi Eze got married this weekend in full igbo culture of Nigeria
Congrats bro!

This statement is stupid...
You guys are acting like he owes you something, he doesn't owe anybody anything..
Where you the one that bought he's football boot or what impact do you have in he's life to feel this entitled

I have said it before on this thread, Tella is not overly impressive..
There's a reason he comes from the bench in most Leverkusen games..
However, I would like to see him in a couple more SE games, unfortunately for him though, our next games will be the qualifiers and I don't think he will make the lists..

Subzerooo:

Osimhen hasn't made any decision yet
The guy is currently in Lagos enjoying his holidays..

If we press you on what this means now you'd go on about your subjective meaning

I knew something was not right

With the way some individuals comment on this Osimhen issue, you would think they have been the one managing him since his Wolfsburg days. Saying what and what not.

For an individual that rejected top teams after the U17 world cup to settle for a club like Wolfsburg that enables him to grow at his own pace, moving gradually from there to Charleroi to Lille where he blossomed to Naples where he won the title and golden boot after so many years for Napoli to beautiful city of Istanbul where he also won the title and golden boot for Galatasaray.

What better decision would you have advised him to take?
How many of his contemporaries who signed for bigger clubs after the U17 world cup are at his level today?

There were no influential friends when he was making the moves that make him be who he his.

Educated or not, influential friends or not, he would always take the better decision for himself.


Like the elders say "He who wear the shoe, knows where it pinches him."

💯 well said

Na busybody and know it all syndrome Dey worry our people! Very judgmental. Some are even saying he’s suffering the consequences of abusing Finidi since there’s an association of ex players and coaches that will sabotage or block his move to any big club 😂 werey dem!
