The shambolic Man United or which onehuh Club that have not been themselves for the past 10 years is complaining of signing a player that would have boosted them
Boosted us yes, but wouldn't have done any magic for us to be contesting the league et al. He wouldn't have done what more than the current players are doing. We're not lacking goals, we lack defenders or defending structure. Only City and Arsenal has scored more goals than us. If we had been a bit tighter at the back, we would have been where City and Arsenal are.
Think of it: Mbeumo 9 goals, Sesko 7, Cunha and Fernandes 6 each and Casemiro 5. Don't you think the goals is been shared which is good comparing to looking for one stand out player to score. Like I said, we didn't miss Osimhen, our defense is the one doing us

Why was Salah, Mane and other big stars signed then, stop giving the clubs excuses, and stop psyching African players up not to want to show up for their countries.
And you think Liverpool were happy seeing them go to Afcon

Osimhen must be very happy in Turkey where he has to threaten strike action before he can be paid his wages😂 Benjamin Sesko is younger and better than Osimhen and he is more level headed.
Dey decieve yourself

Sesko started the season with halaand yet not in top 10 highest goal scorer

Mbeumo that went to Afcon has more epl goals than him

I'm not doubting that, but I am answering your talk of it's bcus we didn't sign him that's why we are where we are, then I said what of Arsenal and Chelsea that also went for him but didn't sign him, did it make them to be or not to be where they are now?
Arsenal didn't really need him

Chelsea new owner prefer to buy young n promising players

Ojagun:
Right from when Osimhen was about to win the Italian league with Napoli and there were murmurs about him moving to England, fans from the top teams in that country have always had negative vibes towards Osimhen because they knew he would cost alot of money and his wages would be high.Those fans (they were many and still are) simply did not want such huge sums to be spent on Osimhen.
Personally,i believe Osimhen has moved on from that whole situation but Nigerian fans of those English clubs especially haven't.Osimhen is earning millions (over 21 million euros after tax a season),he controls his image rights,he is adored by his club's fanbase and despite playing in a league that is not popular,still manages to remain relevant in world football discourse.
The world of club football does not begin & end with English club sides
Nah! I disagree with you. Osimhen till now in his mind still wanted that England move.
Believe it or not, his confrontation with 1 his Napoli coach, 2 with Ikpeba and 3 with Finidi damaged things.
If Arteta, Maresca, Amorim and co doesn't understand pidgin English or Yoruba, you think they don't have people to interpret it to them. If a player can lambast his coach openly on social media, then that's a red flag and can cause dressing room unrest.
Do you know after the Juventus match, he lambasted his teammates openly for not doing enough. Can he do that at Arsenal, Chelsea or Man United and not be shut out from the team. Even now, nobody knows how his Gala teammates will take it. Ifeanyi Udeze former super eagles player said it on Brila FM that it's uncalled for.
If you want to berate your teammates, do that in dressing room or one or one privately. Not openly, this and many more are what those big clubs are looking at

Hahahaha, and you now believe Man United too really wanted him.
Chelsea that even negotiated wages with him is the one that doesn't need him, I hear you.
Since none of the three clubs sign him, it means none of them needed him, don't single out any.

So Fulham and those teams you mentioned are now comparable to Man United.
Why didn't Arsenal and Chelsea sign him, weren't they looking for him? And with no single afcon players in both team.

Yes, man U has been going for mature players in the last 3 seasons

Chelsea was negotiating a salary cut which is against the policy of buy young n cheap n sell at a more valuable price

The comparison base is afcon..but alas you couldn't decipher
Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by donmik: 6:30pm On Feb 27
AFCON must always come against most of the European schedules cos Europe doesn't see us as lucrative in sports.

Anyways, good that ManU no sign cos he might end up facing sorrow of losing matches and sacking catches as the norm.

He is very happy at where they value him so

That aside, the argument started on the excuse McCarthy gave which not 100% true but partially true. If the Afcon weren't a concern Arsenal or Chelsea could have had him and why is there no more African players in those two teams seeing that they're the ones who started the evolution of African players to the epl. Don't you think they too are now prioritizing that Afcon.
