Let’s be open minded about the lad after all season will star
Another problem he will face is the selfish Sallah whom prefer to take on every chances he gets
U open this ur mouth and call Salah Selfish,now I know that most of u don't watch EPL u just look at LiveScore and that's all.Since Salah came to Liverpool tell me any Liverpool player that has more Assist than him?Talk is really Cheap.If u don't tell me then I know u are one of this LiveScore Fans.

Sebi Liverpool podcasters said €75m is too much for Osimhen and his wage demand is too high because he's untested in the premier league. Now they're hyping a €95m deal for one Ekitikete boy that has also never been tested in the EPL and has never scored more than 15 league goals per season in his entire career. The way Bundesliga teams take scam Liverpool this transfer window needs to be studied.
Make una rest. Everything doesn't revolve around Osimhen. Why not buy a club and sign him. Make we hear word abeg.

The Op said he watched clips of Ekitike but don't understand how Liverpool plays. Liverpool don't use traditional No. 9. They use players that can link up play and also drop deep. Fast on the ball, dribbles..... Does that tell you about a particular player called Firmino? If we use traditional No. 9 like Gyokeres or are goal poachers, we would have approached him. Players with Ekitike, Firmino skills set are very rare.

Everybody except you knows that Dallas is a study player that wants to score all the goals. He only passes when the angle or chances are limited.
If you are truly a football fan you will remember what transpired between sallah and Saio Mani in one of the EPL matches that Mani was shouting at him for not passing a clear scoring chance.
That act contributed to what ruined their relationship before Sadie mani eventually left Liverpool for Bayern.

What's wrong with u people these days ...saying he just does ' tapins' ...if tap ins were so easy...then betting companies will be loosing daily ...cos goals per game go de reach 6 minimum per game .... what most don't know is that 70 percent of goals scored by strikers are tap ins..abi u expect the striker to always be outside the box?? Midfielders are the ones that mostly do long rage shots cos they hardly spend time in the box waiting for supplies.... Great strikers like shearer, inzaghi , Hugo sanchez, Crespo, mijatovic , luca toni , Ivan Zamorano ,Oliver Bierhoff,pauleta, fernando morientes , Elder of bayern munich
Diego Tristan , mario Jardel , Klinsmann mostly scored tap ins ..... I just don't understand this criticism for tap ins .... that's the job of a striker , to position well and tap in goals ... Hugo sanchez of real Madrid scored 40 goals in the 1990 season with every single goal being a tap in and it won them la liga
Don't mind these ignorant Nigerians who know nothing about football

Now this is a robust answer.

Nevertheless, I still do not see Oshimen as one with attitude issues.

At Napoli, he was serially ridiculed by the team, management and the so called team mates that were trying to shake him. You cannot know better than him in terms of why he decided to snub them and I do not think pride is a reason.

Remeber how they won the league on Oshimen's shoulders and went on to crown Kvaratshiela or whatever his name is as "King of Naples"huh Talk about racism induced disrespect!!!

Ikpeba knew better than set Oshimen up against Nigerians with that bit of unbridled punditry. The stakes were too high for him to have put out that bit of comment knowing how Nigerians are. Remember how we almost finished Iwobi during our last AFCON final. As an ex international, you don't go around making such comments. It sets the play up for scapegoating and public attack. I believe if that comment had come from a say, Charles Anazodo, Oshimen would have snubbed him. Victor (Ikpeba) should have done better with the knowledge and experience at his disposal...

Finally, was Oshimen right about the tactics of the new coachhuh

Well, he was. And Conte proved him just right.

He might have been blacklisted for being too outspoken, proud and talented for an aboriginal African in Europe, but he wears his "never die, never stoop" Africanness as his badge, he never kowtowed to the big guns, he's getting his worth where it is valued (over 50,000 jersey sold for his unveiling)

The Turkish league is be small and Galatasaray might not measure with the Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal etc of this world, but he's crunching the numbers!!!

They're scared of him simple!!!


Please give him his flowers!!!
Why oshimhen no win league in his first 2 seasons with Napoli...it was until kvarat, arrived that they won it...same with psg....they struggled in their first half of the champions League, kvarat arrived in January and the rest is history... kvarat is a better player than oshimhen.... oshimhen game na gragra .... oshimhen might struggle in the EPL cos gragra no de work for dia....reason lukaku struggled there... oshimhen isn't as good as isak or mbesoma.... u guys are just being sentimental cos he's Nigerian... no one is talking about guirassy , he performed better than oshimhen last season .... EPL teams will take a guirassy type of player , over an oshimhen type of player... oshimhen isn't worth 200k weekly pay.... he can't score freekicks ...he's just a box player that tries to bully his way thru... how many times have u seen oshimhen strike a coutinho special in the back of the net , or take on defenders ....he is a good player, but not 200k worthy ...he has to prove himself first .... 200k no b small money ooo... u want big teams to sign him over a good season he had 2 yrs ago grin grin... the moment he started having issues with Napoli, and those trending videos of arrogance, that was when I knew he had derailed his career .... no one invests in troubled players these days... besides, he's 27 this year, no be say e de 21 or 22... a 4 Yr contract will take him to 31...how many black Africans still perform at peak level at that age ... it might take him 2 yrs to settle , just like Drogba back then at Chelsea... then he will be a Yr away to 30... even Drogba signed at 24... out of 4 seasons in serie A, he only performed in his title winning season, the rest were average at best....

Anything that weakens my rivals is okay by me. In fact, I pray Haaland decides to terminate his contract with Man City to become a ballerina while Isak goes into carpentry. May the downfall of my rivals continue cool
he should please go into carpentry abeg. For my club man it's sake. Heard slut wants to buy his own players as he seen as inheriting a klopp team that was near perfect. Please help should sell konate and MacAlister let's start from there. And see whether he wouldn't find himself in relegation

Osimhen has too much baggage... Hardly any top team would take a look at him
What kind of baggage.
Re: Ekitike: Did Liverpool Make A Financial Mistake? by Fearurcreeator: 8:07am On Jul 25, 2025
dominique:
What baggage? Is he the first player to fall out with his club management? Why was Man Utd begging for him to take a pay cut to play for them if he has all that baggage? They were ready to pay the €75 but wanted him to pay him wages less than £200k/week. Same as Chelsea and Juventus, they were willing to sign him at reduced wages but he refused. The fact is, European clubs don't see African players as deserving of the type of wages European and South Americans earn. Good thing Osimhen did not reduce his worth because he wants to play for a top EPL team now he's the highest earner in the Turkish league. In all you do, always know your worth!
But players like drogba , Yaya , Essien, Eto collect big money ooo. I just don't understand the osinmhen matter. E be like them wan wicked the guy ni

I have been a football fan since ‘96 and I tell you that some players are selfish when it comes to goal scoring not that they don’t like to pass but because they are as good as scoring goals. Ronaldo is such a player where as a striker, if you are paired with him just know that you will compete goal scoring with him
I repeat Sallah is a selfish player take it or leave it period!!
