Did you know Kenneth Omeruo was our best player in AFCON 2019 based on SofaScore Ratings.
He made the BestXI (SofaScore) of the tournament, and in all 6 games he was involved in, he was our highest rated player in 3 of them (VS Guinea, Algeria & Tunisia)

I had another statistics generated from AFCON that had Aina as the best.

I posted it here AT THAT TIME.

IMO opinion Omeruo was not outstanding in one match his poor performance against Cameroon was responsible for the two goals conceded.

Make I derail small

So cr7 has won 2 seria A in just 2 years but could only win 2 laliga in 9 season

We can all see the one under the shadow of Messi

He could not outscore 36 year old quagliarella last season and it seems he won’t do so to immobile this season

So cr7 left Messi shadow to go and stay under the shadow of quagliarella and immobile

Impressive

Cr7 aka Mr new challenge ,penaldo,tapnaldo

CR7 still the GOAT tho

Wilfred Ndidi’s transfer to Leicester City from KRC Genk for about 18 million Euros has been ranked as the ninth most expensive transfer out of Belgium.


The defensive midfielder has thus far scored six goals in 120 appearances for ‘The Foxes’.

Interestingly, Ndidi’s former club Genk have recorded four of the top 10 major transfers out of Belgium.

The costliest move out of Belgium is put at 25 million Euros.

That will be the transfer of Brazilian striker Wesley from Club Brugge to Aston Villa and Youri Tielemans, who joined AS Monaco from Anderlecht.

David Okereke has been tipped to finish as top scorer in Belgium in the coming season, while compatriot Cyriel Dessers will emerge as the best transfer of the season.

Voetbalprimeur predicted Okereke will battle for the Goal King prize as his goals crown Club Brugge champions again.

Last season, the striker netted nine goals even after suffering a slump in form towards the end of the campaign.

Dessers, on the other hand, is backed to justify the four million Euros hometown club Genk paid to get him from Dutch club Heracles.

Other Predictions For the New Season –

Surprise Team – KAS Eupen

Biggest Disappointment – Anderlecht

Team To Be Relegated – KV Oostende

Okay no wahala

Jean-Gerard Benoit Czajka has been Victor Osimhen’s agent since he was 14 and he moved him to Wolfsburg, Charleroi and then Lille before he was sacked by the player during negotiations for the transfer to Napoli.

He has given reasons why he will now drag Osimhen, Napoli and Lille to court should he not be paid five million Euros for the work he did for the striker to sign for the Italian club.

In this most revealing interview, he also gave a great insight to this much-talked about transfer.

QUESTION: How many years have you worked with Victor Osimhen?

Officially, I signed my first mandate with him and his father, I think he was 16 years old, it was well before the 2015 World Cup in Chile, where he shone. In fact, I have been working with him since the age of 14 with my partners.


How did you get to know him?

It is thanks to my associates in Nigeria. It is especially Shira Yussuf (Editor’s note: one of them) who discovered him at the age of 14, he told me about it very quickly.

Thereafter, we contacted Emmanuel Amuneke, then coach of the country’s U17s. We told him: “Go see this youngster, he’s a phenomenon”.



We insisted, he saw him and gave him a chance in his team.


How did Osimhen get to Europe?

Before the 2015 World Cup, we offered him all over Europe but to no success … And then after the 2015 World Cup, everyone was calling me, but he could have left Africa at a very affordable price. When he exploded in Chile, interest skyrocketed.

Finally, I got him signed when he turned 18 at Wolfsburg, and after Charleroi then in Lille, and finally 99% in Naples …



So, what happened that you weren’t by his side at the last moment (for Napoli transfer)?

Good question … With my partner (Editor’s note: Didier Fresnay), when everything was going to happen, we were suddenly dismissed to be replaced by a new agent (Editor’s note: William D’Avila) …



July 13 in the morning , Victor asked me to accompany him to Naples to finalize everything. I said, “Ok”, but my flight to Naples was finally full and I couldn’t get there.

Fortunately, moreover, because Lille had chartered him a private flight to go to Sardinia, to Olbia, where the two club presidents were present. He couldn’t sign without me.


What was your reaction?

My lawyers sent an email to Victor, Naples and LOSC. And on July 14, I in turn received an email “stopping abruptly and without cause” my mandate of representation with Victor Osimhen which was in effect until January 2021.

While the two clubs had agreed on the terms of the transfer weeks before, and all the details of Victor’s contract were known, the player had his medical visit in Rome during the week. Which is no doubt that his contract was signed with Naples …


One of the reasons given in the media for your sack was that you preferred to negotiate bonuses for yourself. What do you have to say to that?

These are nonsense that they put in the head of the player.

We have correspondences from Napoli, there is a guaranteed commission that we received by email from Mr. Giuntoli (Editor’s note: the Sporting Director of Napoli) of 5M € for the work done, which constitutes about 8% of the total gross contract negotiated.

We were far from negotiating personal bonuses as Victor told the press!

Obviously I am aware that this may seem important to ordinary people, but it is a work of many years, of personal sacrifices which have resulted today in making Victor Osimhen the player he has become, and so the value he now has in the market! And when everything is going to be realized, we are removed to put a new agent!



Can you tell us behind the scenes of the negotiations with the Serie A club?



We have been in contact with them since March. With the Covid-19, we finally managed to see each other at the end of May, early June in Monaco with Giuntoli and then we moved with the player at the beginning of July to Naples.

To be clear, if we were in Italy it was because the two clubs have had an agreement for a long time and they told us so.

I think that Lille were not happy that Victor came back (from Naples) without signing his contract.

They had a knife under the throat with the DNCG (for their professional license).



Did you conduct all the discussions with Napoli?

Yes, and to be honest, Victor did not want to go to Italy. From the start, he has been stuck on the idea of ​​playing in Serie A. He told me that racism issues scared him and that he didn’t feel like moving.

He even told me in March-April: “I don’t want to go and play in Italy even if it’s for Juventus at € 10 million net per year”.


How then did you manage to convince him?

I told Victor that before having such strong ideas, that he had to travel to see for himself, meet people, talk with players who are confronted with racism, etc. … Something that we finally did on July 1, 2 and 3 where we met the coach, the sports director, as well as the president De Laurentiis, who is a man with values ​​and experience, and who seemed to have convinced the player.

Victor also spoke a lot with Kalidou Koulibaly (Senegal international defender) and this was decisive in his choice for Napoli.



And then, we imagine that there is also the financial aspect …

Yes, it must also be said, when a big club like Napoli offer you a starting place, with a contract of around 30M € net of taxes (over 6 years), it helps to make a decision at 21!

While you explain to us that for you everything is recorded, the transfer of the player is not yet being made official. What is your reading of this?

What I understand is that they are trying to justify “the work” of the “new agent”, having resumed negotiations from the start.

I am in a hurry to discover the final contract signed by Victor, and to compare it with what we had done with Napoli formally.

On the morning of July 13, Luis Campos and Gérard Lopez contacted me by phone, strongly recommending that I negotiate with this new agent, otherwise, according to them, “I risked losing everything …” For me, Osimhen signed on the 14th, 15th or 16th (July).

You can’t buy a € 60 million player by having him undergo his medical examination without having already signed his contract.

You know Victor Osimhen well, do you think he really understands everything that is happening around him?

There is a lot of pressure. He certainly lost his footing. There’s this William D’Avila who must have been wooing him for a while.

Maybe he told him that we could get him a better deal.

I see him on July 9 in Paris to make a point, on the 13th, he tells me to take the plane to join him, while the new agent is there … It is not possible because it is us who did all the work.

And you do not go twice to Naples, in particular to Sardinia, without having signed contract.



What is your position regarding a possible reconciliation?

We have always worked honestly with Victor, which many agents cannot say, we are within our rights. And if we have to go to court to save face, we’ll go … I would add that in my opinion, we do not go before an organization as serious as the DNCG without providing evidence that the operation of “flagship” sale of the summer will be formalised.

We are quiet. My lawyers have all the documents on the work done. I will therefore assert my rights in court. Afterwards, it is very likely that I can be offered a compensation, which I will not accept.

You have known Victor since the age of 14, from a human angle, do you feel any bitterness after so many years being with him?

This isn’t the first time this has happened in football, and it won’t be the last time, though.

I am lucky to be a structured person and to have a little resources, so I will go to the end, if only for all these agents who are victims of similar situations, but who cannot defend themselves and who lose the fruit of all their work for years …

Dele Alampasu keeps his first clean sheet for Ventspils.

Alampasu played all 90mins+ as his side played out a goalless draw away at FK Tukums.

FK Tukums also had three Nigerians in action, lads who just recently signed for them this transfer window, Pam Dalyop Samuel (joined from Ventspils), Olabanjo Ogunji (joined from FK Jelgava) and Emeka Basil (joined from FK Jelgava).

It seems there is an awareness or movment among latvian football officials to buy players from Nigeria. Our academy boys are really rushing there

The Eredivisie is ranked number 9 in Europe and that's more on account of the exploits of Ajax FC which is on par if not better than many EPL clubs.

We have essentially a one club league, with Ajax winning the title year out year in for donkey years. Ajax has been very successful in Europe as well.

So what you have is Ajax and everybody else. And everyone else is considerably below Ajax in the Eredivisie. How many Eredivisie clubs have had any success in Europe.

So to make the assumption that a league that is ranked number 9 in Europe is better than the second tier of a league ranked number 2 in Europe. Is simply not proven.

We should also consider which is the easiest league to score in the top 20 league in Europe. It's actually the Eredivisie.

And to conclude on that basis he is better than Eze, again is not anchored on anything beyond assumptive preference, by you.

You don't know what you are saying!

Ajax have won the lost league title in Netherlands doesn't make the Eredivise on the same level with the championship,never!

And Ajax aren't the only Dutch team to win European titles! Dutch teams have won 16 major European tittles through Ajax, PSV and Feynoord..

You can't compare a championship player with an Eredivise player unless you are very ignorant...

We know you have mad love for the championship and English football,but don't use it to bellite other leagues..

Joebie:
Although I would not use that yardstick to determine which player is better, but this Dutch player shares your view on which league is stronger


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVOacxRycxI

Just watched the video and he says exactly what l have said.

Eredivisie is slower and more technical.

He says the Championship is more intense physically, a lot quicker and more competitive. And in his opinion he found it much harder and considers it better.

And he played for Ajax and PSV the best clubs in the Eredivisie. His comments are not what can just be dismissed.

Who did this?

Who is this thief stealing our contents?

Because a players is in the EPL it doesn't automatically attribute the player with outstanding quality. What is important is what impact the players has in the league.

What is ignorance, lack.of knowledge

I am not ignorant of the Eredivisie l know coaches and players past and present from the Eredivisie. I don't just follow statistics, l look at the way the statistics are arrived at as well.

Then l converge statistics with first hand experience. A few years ago l spent some time in PSV looked at there systems as well as watched them train and watched matches.

So l would not just jump to blanket conclusion without having it anchored on something. I did not say that the Championship is superior buy that better is open to discussion particularly in context.

Ignorance is on your part because everything is based on assumption upon assumption.

Elyte89 I am suspecting you

In the last six 6 years Ajax has won just 2 titles. Barcelona 3/6. Juventus 6/6. Bayern 6/6. So going by your Criterion, Eredivise is better than those leagues.

Alhassan Yusuf is Swedish Cup Champion!!!

Alhassan Yusuf played all 120 mins (90mins + 30 mins of extra time football) as his side came back from a goal down to win 2-1 after extra time.

Innocent Bonke was on the losing side, Malmo and played 85mins before being subbed off.

Congrats Alhassan.
