But las las it will be funny if he doesn't move from Lille after all these rumours
well I feel he would make the right move because he is a very disciplined player , he is after his growth and not the pay check atleast for now, if he is not going to get a team that would aid his development I doubt if victor would move.

Sometimes this happens. When you’re on the bench you have to wait for your opportunity. I have three months to do my best and try to help the team and we’ll see what happens with my future. He [Jesus] is a great player. He’s a very young player but he will learn a lot at City and he will have a great future at the club.”

Agüero said he could learn from the 19-year-old. “Yes, at the moment I have to watch what he does, to learn, it could be a little bit. I am how I am. I have spent a lot of years in Europe playing the same way.”

Of a meeting Agüero had with Guardiola and the player’s agent recently, the striker said: “It was things to do with the club, nothing strange. Private things that have to stay inside those walls.”

Guardiola said Agüero had taken being left out in the correct manner. “It is perfect, don’t worry about that,” he said. “Of course he wants to play. It must not be easy. I understand that. But Sergio remains one of the most important players in our squad and [with] what we have to do, he will be so, so important. He is going to play a lot of games, with Gabriel and without Gabriel, but today I decide to continue with these three guys [Jesus, Leroy Sané and Raheem Sterling].”

Because "WE" is very ambiguous.

So he must be coming to live games to be a fan. If that is the case....

You have seen hard facts from those involved that Aguero lost his place, had to adapt and was let back when he adapted (coupled with an injury to Gabriel Jesus).

Even Aguero stated he transformed his game and he had no choice. You are free to keep arguing or learn. As I said, Argue with Aguero.

I also feel he should not make the PL move now, unless game time is assured which I doubt with the current setup in those clubs you mentioned, I would have loved one more session with Lille but the fact that he is not going to play champions league football ehn is my only issue, lets just wait and see.

I am showing you statements from Aguero and Guardiola. Showing you articles that highlighted the dilemma. Showing you statement of Aguero that showed he had to adapt his game because he had no choice.

If you want to start googling statistics to argue what you have no idea about, you are free to. Call Aguero and tell him he does not know what he is talking about. You will use stats and let Aguero know his thinking and adjustment to fit into Guardiola's plans were wrong.

You are free to Argue with Aguero.

Victor Osimhen: the young Nigerian on a rapid rise to the top
By Juliet Mafua
BBC Sport Africa
4 hours ago.


Victor Osimhen celebrates a goal for Lille in Ligue 1.

Nigeria international Victor Osimhen may have been named Lille's player of the season earlier this week but don't think that means the 21-year-old is satisfied with his campaign.

For when you ask his reaction, the forward's instant response is to bemoan his team's failure to secure a Champions league spot as Lille 'ended' the season in fourth.

The club were just a point behind Rennes in France, where third place secures European football at its highest level, with ten rounds left when the season was finished early because of the coronavirus pandemic.

"Winning the Lille player of the season was not my target," Osimhen told BBC Sport Africa. "My target was to help the team finish in the Champions League spot. But I want to thank my team-mates and those who voted for me."

Osimhen netted eighteen goals and recorded six assists in 31 appearances across all competitions, with his tally of 13 league goals equal to that of Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian superstar Neymar.

In what was his first campaign in France, the Nigerian was also named in Ligue 1's team of the season.

"I'm really happy - it's a great feeling - I'm here and proving it," said the former Wolfsburg and Charleroi striker. "The league is not as easy as some people think. It's very competitive and you have to play among the best."

Such has been Osimhen's form that he is being linked with some of Europe's biggest clubs, including several leading Premier League sides, although it is a move to Italians Napoli that has been creating the most column inches in recent days.

Osinhem has denied the reports however, calling for privacy instead as he mourns his late father whose death the young Nigerian revealed late last month.

"There's a lot of fake news about me already agreeing a deal with Napoli - it's sickening," he said. "Please disregard any report of transfers involving me on the news. I want to stay mute on all these as I mourn my late father."

Osimhen shot into the limelight when starring in Nigeria's Under-17 World Cup triumph in 2015
The death of Osimhen's father, who helped his son settle into European football when travelling with him to his first club on the continent, is particularly poignant for a man who lost his mother at a young age.

The footballer grew up in Lagos, sharing one small room with his parents and siblings, and he freely admits that a young life of hardship and survival - sometimes "feeding just once a day" - motivated him to succeed.

"Whenever I'm in my free time, I reminisce on the past," he says. "My humble beginning makes me the person I am today - it's me never, never wanting to give up.

"So whenever I'm on the pitch, whenever I think about where I'm coming from, my family background, I don't want to relent - I want to make them proud and I want to give my all."

Osimhen burst into the spotlight at the 2015 Under-17 World Chile as he clinched the Golden Boot and Silver Ball awards while steering the Golden Eaglets to the title.

The 16-year-old scored a tournament record 10 goals, netting in every one of Nigeria's games, in a performance that helped earn him Africa's Youth Player of the Year for 2015.

His displays in at the World Cup in Chile also earned him a move to Wolfsburg but Osimhen, who turned down Arsenal to play in Germany's Bundesliga, admits to struggling as he slowly adapted to both the league and European football.

Osimhen, 21, scored 13 goals in his maiden campaign in France's Ligue 1
After a barren season in which the striker, affected by injury, returned no goals from 16 games, he moved to Belgium where the goals soon flowed - 19 in his first campaign at Charleroi, where he was originally on loan before making the move permanent.

"I said some years back that I have a point to prove at Wolfsburg but I couldn't get the chance. Now I'm here and proving it and I'm sending messages across and a lot of them are sending me messages also, calling to congratulate me."

Last year, Osimhen joined Lille as a direct replacement for Ivorian international Nicolas Pepe, who had - unlike his replacement - decided to play for Arsenal.

Pepe - who cost the Gunners a record £72m - was Lille's player of the year award in 2019, a title Osimhen has now taken, beating off competition from Benjamin Andre and Renato Sanches to claim the individual award.

Despite his new fame, wealth and coveted status, the youngster - who made his Africa Cup of Nations debut last year - has managed to stay grounded and he says he spends much of his free time reading motivational messages on social media.

"I go to this motivational page on Instagram and save some of the important quotes that I see. In my spare time I go to my saved items and read the quotes - it inspires me," says a rising star who is already inspiring millions himself.

You are right Elyte man. Reason why the name Fabrice Akwa cannot be erased from my memory.

I remember Martins' debut for us against Republic of Ireland in 2004. He totally obliterated their defence with his lightening speed and quick change of direction. Indeed missing that 2006 WC was a major blow.


His move to Newcastle was an ill-advice one.

just watching Obafemi Martins' goals for Inter on YouTube men! dude was an absolute terrifying prospect to face then if you were an opposition defender. rockets in his boots left or right, blistering pace and movement, deadly in front of goal, very strong on the ball despite his size.

guy was easily Nigeria's best striker especially during that 2000-2010 period. can't put my finger why dude didn't have an even bigger impact in the super eagles. truly he was a weapon of mass destruction.

Yakubu was also fire during that same period.

[color=#000000]Guardiola style does not accomodate Target man and goal poacher but likes a general forward
aguero is a target man same with nacho ....Nacho didnt adapt to guardiola system that why he was sold
you can see the when sterling is always chosen to play as a false
lemme differentiate between a general forward and a target man ....Target are also goal poacher ,lethal in front of goal and also fox in the box and mainly operate in the center e.g lewandoski, aguero, icardi, Martinez lukaku etc
general forward create chances plays deep loves to maruading sometimes this crop of player can play a AMF WF coz of their ability to create chances some of this players include Gabriel Jesus ,mbappe ,Suarez (doing Enrique days), etc

Because "WE" is very ambiguous.

What is the point of this your argument?

You use 'We' when talking about the Super Eagles, but how many of their games have you gone for, even when it's in your backyard?

Is fandom by buying tickets and going to games? Someone is supporting a team from Nigeria, and you are asking if he has season tickets, does he live in England? How will he have season tickets?

The way you try to demean people sometimes, in your quest for whatever, is very disgusting.

He has as much right as anyone else to use WE for a team he supports. If Liverpool comes down to Nigeria and he has an opportunity to watch them, you think he won't? You think people in Nigeria that buy these club jerseys and spend their money to watch the games of these clubs do not have the right to use WE, when referring to clubs they support? Don't clubs make money from TV rights? Who do you think pays for these rights? Fans with season tickets?


What exactly are you getting at, by trying to ridicule his use of the term?

I disagree . Ighalo was misfiring after that goal against Cameroon at the WCQ.. And once Osimhen moved to Charleoi,he was in contention for a spot in the CF role...
Rohr just preferred Ighalo to him .

Even right now,Rohr has already said he want Ighalo back to the team... We have players who can play the CF role and are yet to get their chances,but Rohr still want Ighalo back..

If Ighalo returns to the national team today and Osimhen is benched for him,it won't be because he is better..it's because Rohr prefers him..

grin oga it remains a bad analogy, it took u several hours to respond to my post thinking of what u right still u came up with nothing

So u expected a rohr to give osimhen a chance in d super eagles set up when he's still finding his feet in his career path @ chaleroi over already established players in super eagles set up with d likes of ighalo,nacho and co, .I maintain my stand when ighalo was playing for d national team,osimhen was not even in d picture let alone of comparing both

I could remember on dis thread den when we compare ighalo and nacho.....osimhen was never in d pictureI was in Iggy camp wyle some where in nachos camp even though both strikers where misfiring den smiley...so in a nutshell.. Ighalo retired,osimhen took over cool
