don't know why you people bother about the guy to be honest. His reply ( if he later does) will only be that stats are not conclusive evidence.

please let's not go too far on his "future" after football. he earns in millions of euros every year. Even if he retires today, his future is already secured. It's just human nature to keep on seeking for more money.
We are talking. Of football future

Till forever you. Can't forget

I don't how to tell you this but fans are allowed to criticize the actions of the player they support. It doesn't mean we won't support him any longer, he is a super eagle so the support is always there. We will post his goals here even when he scores his 30th goal against al-walood fc. It's not as if our talks here will factor in his decision so why not say your mind.
Well said.

And this @emboldened... is on period!!!! I may not support going to Saudi PL but I will always support my number 1 striker no matter how inconvenient.

We will be here talking up his every goal no matter what. Get ready for Monster Machine chants even in the haram league!!! It is Love. The love we have for this guy will never die even when some of us dont support this move. He means much more to us than just his decision to leave Europe. He is our own, a NT hero, the biggest gun of the Super Eagles attack and at the center, a great human being.

Osimhen is a lad I hope to tell my grandkids about when all is said and done.

Even if nobody else has a right to speak on Osimhen, TheSuperNerd certainly does. Man has always been Osimhen's biggest supporter from when he was struggling at Wolfsburg.

I think it's really pathetic if Osimhen will prioritize money over his career. Bruno Fernandes just turned down a whole bunch of money from Saudi to stay with a Man Utd that won't even be in Europe. Mbappe turned down unbelievable sums from same Saudi and took a huge pay cut instead to join Madrid.

Black man must be black man.
Na this statement be my problem... How much is Mbappé earning? How much is Bruno Fernandes earning? How much is Osimhen earning?

Bro, if Osimhen joins the Premier League today, everyone will be happy, but man's got a choice to make, you think it's just as easy as "oya remove €120k from my €250k, let's gooooo"... Do you know his thought-process in all of this? Do you know how he's weighing his decisions here and there? Do you think Osimhen is stooopid and dvmb and r--tarded to not know that he can challenge in the Premier League and have a legacy? Do you think he's not having a hard time deciding his future? If black man must be black man, do you know that this is the third time Saudi Arabia has come for him? Rejecting Al-Ahli's offer of €60M a year to settle for Galatasaray who will give him his current wages while proving what he can do all season to attract European suitors, you think it's stoopid?

He has earned the wages he's asking for, the people coming for him from the Premier League are not talking about a small pay-cut, they actually and literally are suggesting to cut and hack his current hard-earned wages and people are shouting black man, black man like if you were in his current situation, you'll just up and tell your family, oya, it's straight to England, without having a lot, a lot of scenarios and possibilities to analyze and calculate before making a decision. Jeeeeezzzz! How is this so hard to understand? Put yourself in someone's shoes before you judge!

He needs to be in Europe, Europe needs to understand who they're going for and treat him like who worked to the level he is, and not treat him like an academy player.

Nobody said anything about small pay-cut. €10m net to €4m net is not small, if any other European club can propose something higher than that, then they should come out. Osimhen is not a masquerade, na just mask he dey wear.

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.
You are day dreaming 💤wake up

Chukwueze hardly ever thinks to cross he lacks vision always dribbling and trying to shoot. When he does try to cross which is rare it's completely off target 🎯 then he has no defensive attributes. Chukwueze is not first choice in his club AC Milan he rarely starts first choice is Pulisic. He is not devastating in AC Milan and or the SE, 46 games and 7 goals is not impressive.

Did Tella get an assist in what is his first game for the SE in two years.❓

Tella plays both offensive and defensive for Bayern L., he scored 17 goals in the Championship two season ago playing a more offensive position. He has good end product with dexterity can play left and right.

What's the pertinent word here, CONSISTENCY

I made a comparison of Martinez on consistency over time in Seria A and specifically over three seasons where he scored no less than 20 goals each season.

You are using misinformation to present a false narrative.

Martinez games are 7 seasons in Seria A where he started at age 18.

Why don't you include VO time at Turkey, Belgium, Germany and France to see the comparison.

Or just make a like for like comparison to be objective

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by chrisooblog: 12:39pm On Jun 08, 2025
Your first paragraph is pure imagination devoid of fact. Supernerd use stats and metrics to show how often Tella assists compared to Chukwueze with the latter having better numbers. You're yet to bring your own facts to counter him.

Tosin aerial dominance? Bros you truly have a vivid imagination. Even the so called passing range is a myth.

komekn:
I've watched Chukwueze and Tella play and crossing the ball ⚽ with accuracy is and should be a routine skill set , it is for Tella both feet but Chukwueze dribbles upon dribble with no end product and offers little or nothing defensively.


I reiterate, "Tell me one CB better than him Tosin in the SE " ❓please put down names. Bassey doesn't have Tosin passing range or aerial dominance. Who is the fastest they are probably on par.

Chukwueze should be doing better how is that breaking news?

Tella like I said is not an upgrade. His numbers at Leverkusen say that much plus he's not even a starter.

Using 'defensive duties' and Championship numbers will not fly try something else that will stick.

In addition is it Samuel's fault that Nathan hasn't been getting games in the SE when it's the latter that is almost always pulling out when called up?

Yekini had more Senior Pro goals than Eto'o? That's crazily massive. Although we know Eto'o played longer at the highest level.


Africa's Highest Goalscorers of All Time

1. Roger Milla 🇨🇲 - 503 goals in 905 games

2. Rashidi Yekini 🇳🇬 - 483 goals in 673 games

3. Samuel Eto'o 🇨🇲 - 426 goals in 877 games

4. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 🇬🇦 - 401 goals in 805 games

You see am now, when I say Dude is my naija best player ever, no be capping. If Osihmen continues he’s going to be at least top five here if not top 3 at the end of his career. Yekini despite where he played was a menace to defenders.

Very impressive for a player that's supposedly 6"6' is he really that tall ❓

It's taken him 5 years of development progression in Europe to get to this stage after leaving Nigeria .

I hope it continues , he actually seems considerably fast which is very strange for his size. He is strong with good balance not languid and clumsy fluid and good vision.

I watched a similar player in Monaco he was about 6"7' but deceptively fast, you don't notice it till he has gone past you.

Really want to see more of Tolu👏🏿👏🏿
Tolu is not like Onuachu or Sadiq who are languid and clumsy. He's like Agali, fast and strong. He should be second or third option for us. He's got it in him to give us goals

Their perception about VO is wack. That's the issue, regardless of if he's capable or not, or of agent good or not. They fit dey view am as one batshuayi laidat.


Fact remains that if he belonged to any African country, the crap we are currently seeing here, talking down on his ability, will not be on here. It will be different.


I personally don't like the Hilal move, especially as it's still early. But only him knows the kine crap he dey face behind closed doors too. I hope it's not the last resort sha. He's destined for a big league and a big big team.
