The options are;
* Have nations league and make AFCON are quadrennial tournament. Or
* Have NL and scrap CHAN. Players based in Africa should focus on club competitions.
Number 2 is a better option.

That thing dey cheat African teams for World Rankings, Nigeria don drop go 45th as other countries wey dey play this tournament dey climb up.

Who? If it's Osimhen, then that's not true. Infact, no club will negotiate to pay the release clause when they know they can get him for free in a couple of days.
It is true, his contract elapse next year.

First of all once again it's not so simplistic but your presentation is misleading.

Martinez has spent almost the entirety of his adult career in Seria A with Inter Milan. And his league goals are primarily in a top tier league.

However, that's not the same with VO, Belgium, French and Turkish retirement league not the same level 🎚️ as Seria A.

Don't get negative perception misled, l am not saying Martinez is a better striker than VO, I am saying he is more consistent but nobody calls him world 🌍 class.. The term CONSISTENCY is the core subject here.

That doesn't constitute HATE, maybe 🤔 in your small mind it may be so.
Also reply to the stats from their first 4 seasons in Italy 😂

I don't have power to engage on baseless arguments.

Real Madrid has more champions league trophy than your best 10 premier league clubs combined and u are here shouting "EPL is far and away the best league"
If something is far and away better,it means it's better by considerable large margin, how is it so compared to La Liga and Serie a?
If they are far better,they should be dominating every other clubs from other leagues whenever they meet.

EPL is considered best now does not mean it's going to remain so in few years to come,or that they were the best few years ago.
Real Madrid doesn't have more but has rather won equal numbers of Champions league trophy with EPL.

You are busy running around pouring cold water on this player or that player. Osimhen is not good, Onyeka bad, this one inconsistent, that one kinikan. But I know if you are asked to draw up a list now na Etebo, Ighalo (maybe Martins), Tim Iroegbunam, Ovie Ejaria, go full am
First of all stop 🛑 telling LIES ,you can present an argument without have to tell complete FALSEHOOD.

Where did I say VO is not good 🥺 my descriptions on Onyeka very concise great work horse and good defensively but gives nothing on the offensive.

Don't loose your cool and blow 🌬️ a gasket 😉

They have had 5 managerial changes in the last 5 years, they have been rotten in the transfer market, their squad is bad, they have not won the league since 19/20 the biggest stars like Cunha and Mbuemo can come to Man U because of the money and stature of the club but they can't go to Juve

Well, a French team just annihilated Inter Milan in a Champions League final in a game Lautaro Martínez played and had 0 shots, on or off target, but that is a story for another day.

So Victor Osimhen is not consistent?

Lautaro plays for Inter Milan (one of the best attacking teams in the league) Inter never finished outside the top four since he joined them, Osimhen played for Napoli...

First season at Napoli 10 goals, second season, 14, third season 26, fourth season AFCON and Injuries - 15, with 25 games played. (Note that a lot of Injuries hampered his numbers in his first and second season). Man didn't even play up to 30 games in the Serie A more than once.

Let's talk about consistency for both of them now.

Using only the Serie A.

Victor Osimhen:
2020-21 - 24 games, 10 goals - 0.42 GPG
2021-22 - 27 games, 14 goals - 0.52 GPG
2022-23 - 32 games, 26 goals - 0.81 GPG
2023-24 - 25 games, 15 goals - 0.60 GPG

What this data shows is that Victor Osimhen is consistent and increases his goal tally every season in the Serie A. Now, last season was somehow because of AFCON and Injuries, but in all his seasons spoiled by injuries, last season was the best tally because he still managed a 0.60 goals per game season. This is a good tally for any random striker.

Now Lautaro Martínez:
2018-19 - 27 games, 6 goals - 0.22 GPG
2019-20 - 35 games, 14 goals - 0.40 GPG
2020-21 - 38 games, 17 goals - 0.45 GPG
2021-22 - 35 games, 21 goals - 0.60 GPG
2022-23 - 38 games, 21 goals - 0.55 GPG
2023-24 - 33 games - 24 goals - 0.72 GPG
2024-25 - 31 games, 12 goals - 0.38 GPG

Looking at both players carefully, are you seeing the leap in Victor Osimhen's GPG every season? His "bad" last season even has the same goal ratio as Lautaro's consistent (2021-22 season) and a higher goal ratio than Lautaro's consistent (2022-23 season). Lautaro's drop this season is even comical... Osimhen dropped from 0.81 to 0.60, your guy dropped from 0.72 to 0.38 for a team that almost won the league 😂

Osimhen can never be in a team that won the league and score only 12 goals 😂

It's not by the number of goals scored my man, it's how often do you score in the amount of games you play? That's consistency. And with these points of mine again, Osimhen is even more consistent.

If you want to use the drop in Osimhen's numbers last season as a yardstick to judge his consistency as a striker, then Lautaro Martínez's is even worse. 12 goals in 31 games, c'mon man... 😂

With all his 20+ goals per season, he won the golden boot just once because there was always someone doing better than him, Osimhen was one of those someones. Last season he won the golden boot, he didn't even still match Osimhen's tally, and Osimhen did it in one game less and two goals more.

It took Osimhen 3 seasons in the Serie A to win the golden boot, it took Martinez 6 seasons in the Serie A to win it with less goal tally than Osimhen.

Again, even in being consistent, Osimhen no be Lautaro mate.

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.
too real

You're being mischievous...
Why not respond to the post he made showing Osimhen and Laudato stats in the same serie A?
You keep repeating the same thing about Osimhen scoring 15+ goals once in Europe top 5 league in his career, but you won't mention the fact that he missed a good number of games in his first 2 and last season due to injuries and AFCON commitment.. .thank God for goal per game ratio....everyone can tell who is more consistent between Osimhen and Laurato
