Ok. Star player that year . Nice one

They'll not open mouth and tell you they did not sign him because of his useless character and attitude they will look for excuses as usual... It's common sense osinmen is the architect of his own misfortune shikena

IgOga:
Seriously? This is why Africa is not taking seriously. Change your name for us to recognise you as a human being ad many Africans like yourself think that is the gold standard.

Other Manu players can play in AFCON but Victor cannot. When all Africans should speak with sense we have some you saying yes Africa must change to accommodate some racist views from Manu

Most of African stars if not all play in Europe . Until our continental league is serious , we need to consider our players playing abroad . Some even feign injury to avoid AFCON . If not for eligibility to play for World Cup , most African players will not show up for AFCON . Especially Super eagles when they are always not paying their allowances .
Timing is important . It doesn’t mean we are insulting our continent , it means we are positioning for better viewership and good planning .

Afcon is now 4yrs no more 2yrs

Until 2 more Editions, it is still every 2 years.

How much did gala pay for Osime oga

Osihmen's price tag would have completely doubled if Clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid, Liverpool and Man City entered the ring.
Transfer market does not favour big clubs all the time.

ZUBY77:
See them..
If you read Bernie well, he said no club wants to lose their main Striker for many important games, but the problem with you lots is comprehension.
Why am I even wasting my time

And Drogba in chelsea wasn't a main striker? Did that stop chelasea from signing him.? How about Eto prime in barca? Why are u generalising with no club. Manu is just unserious and moreover you type with a disconnect between your brain and your hands

Lukuluku69:
£75m I think.

But they met his Wage demand.

Thank you. But it's less than. So 100m isn't the issue here

Leonardo4:
Osime cost galatasary 65million pounds
Mbeumo cost manu 71million pounds
So it's not about the cost or afcon

Now, compare their salaries and bonuses, who is more expensive eventually? Who is closer to the 100M mentioned?

So Afcon na 1 year military program na. Mad team.😡

Gadaffi9ja:
Truly they need to reorganize this AFCON thing, I think playing it every year now is bad already, it will keep losing relevance.

When will you Africans stand for yourselves and stop bending the knee every gaddamm time to foreigners??

Leonardo4:
Thank you. But it's less than. So 100m isn't the issue here

Yeah.

I just checked now. £75m was Napoli asking price but Galatasaray paid £65m with performance based Add ons to close it at £70m.

This is not about bending knee, world cup is what it is because of the suspense of waiting 4 years.

Omoawoke:

My point is not even about the players, I'm concern about the integrity of the tournament, playing it every year will make it lose credibility.

Nwankwo Kanu played for Arsenal and played AFCON

Samuel Etoo playerd for Barcelona and played AFCON

El Hadji Diouf played for Liverpool and played AFCON

What point are you even making?

And Mbeumo? Just tell us man u couldn't afford the salary he was asking for. Or they think he wasn't worth the salary he was asking for. But we know he's better than the last 5 strikers they've had.

nairalanda1:
The problem is the rainy season. Setting AFCON around June-August, when most subsaharn african countries would be seeing rain falling...is not conducive for the game here.

Even when Equatorial Guinea hosted the AFCON, then rain issue was a big problem despite the tournament holding in January self.

rainy season but we hosted the world cup during the same time- we are just being unnecessarily stubborn

Short-sightedness

Afcon is just for a month

No wonder you are still struggling n sacking coaches every season

Not when you are dishingnout a whooping £100M

What of that Cameroonian dude? MBEUMO

This is a dumb excuse.
So what if you signed him and he gets injured on his debut for 6 months?

Furthermore, I have always maintained that the AFCON calendar should shift so that it doesn't clash with Euro matches.
But the stubborn morons at CAF will not agree....

which English top club is not struggling in attack especially. Why them no sign am?

Gadaffi9ja:

i disagree! Euro is already developed and stable.

But African football is still trying to find its footing. Playing it every 4 years will be more disadvantageous to African football development.

A players personal contract shouldn't be the reason for an entire continent to stop it's football.

So what's your point exactly?
Does Man U owe you anything, even explanation?
Fox your own clubs and do as you like. I blame Bernie who even had time to address the club decision.

Very irrational
Them were never interested in signing him in the first place

City wasnt struggling in the attack

Chelsea eventually bought Delap n pedro

After the next one it goes to every 4yrs

N castle that spent heavily on Isak...how many goals as he scored this season

Fulham had 3 players in afcon, yet coped very well in their absential

And why didn't the other clubs at top of the league not signing him. You see how just that one month cost United with the lost of Mbeumo and Amad.
And let me tell you, it didn't just start now, that was one of the main Reasons Fergie refused signing African players

na damage control explanation.
dem no wan pay african black big wages.

osimhen goal say gala from elimination by juventus despite selfish players. gala was very poor.

Man U has always been poor. They started winning when they change coach. Stop using that as an excuse

Fulham did well even without the trio of iwobi, chukweze n bassey

Urgent1Million:
Afcon?
What a lame reason.
Anyway, who cares!
It's their loss.
Now they'll have to spend more if they wanna sign him 'cos bros value has increased significantly.

Which stupid lost, will Osimhen had add or subtract anything from Man United value

Booty4ker:
So there think osi baba Will even play for United?? Kai😤😤😂😂

Man United is bigger than him and the clubs he has ever played for

Leonardo4:
And Mbeumo is not an afcon player abi. Continue deceiving yourself

Amad Diallo, Mazraoui too

wazobeer:
So African players should abandon the biggest tournament in Africa because of a foreign club? Naah, it's just an excuse.

Eto'o was signed to Barcelona, it didn't stop him from participating in the AFCON. The likes of Kanu, Okocha, also played for top clubs, Hakimi is in PSG, no excuses, they weren't prevented from representing their their fatherland.


Enough with the excuses. Man U isn't a serious club.

All players you mentioned, how many of their clubs had more than one Afcon players at a time
