Yes, Osimhen is more pacy than them. he can be a left wing forward and we use wing backs. Even if na ur natural position, if you are a mediocre, someone else will play your wing for you.

By the way didn't you hear when I said that Osimhen has been deployed to the wing in his earlier clubs?

Do you know more about Osimhen than his own coach who said he can be deployed to the wing?

Osimhen will play as an inverted winger, he doesn't need to cross that much as Zaidu is on that same wing

And this your neural pathway talk, Please tell me, between Rashford at 9 and Ighalo at 9 who will you prefer?

Osimhen cannot displace any of our wingers, if you choose to deploy him there, as he cannot outperform any of them. A makeshift he is.

He excels as a CF..

Even still, I won't support Osimhen being moved to the wings just so other strikers can have the CF role.. He is best suited for the CF role he plays... It isn't advisable to move players to makeshift roles unless absolutely necessary... in this case,it isn't absolutely necessary.
Osimhen still remain our best CF option.. Never mind the fact that other CF have more goals than him ..He offers more than they do...
You still don't get it. Far back in 2020, Rohr mentioned that Osimhen was equally good on the wing, but since there were many options there and no other reliable striker then apart from him. It will be senseless trying him out there.

Now there's heavy competition among our strikers, keeping them on their toes and making them score week in week out. They're turning out to be reliable options for our no 9. Nobody invited now will not strive to make impact. Onuachu is an example.

And, Osimhen on the wing is not makeshift, it's something he has played before and can play it well. He did so at Chaleroi, Rohr confirmed it as well. What is now the wrong thing in deploying him there and keeping Onuachu at 9?

All these are baseless statements from you.

Rohr named Osimhen among his real wingers in 2020. Is it Samuel Kalu or Moses that Osimhen will not outperform?

Osimhen played many times as a winger in Charleroi. How is he a make shift.

You no even answer my question.

Infact I'm tired of repeating the same facts for you. Go siddon for farmland jor sad Nonsense

I beg to disagree sir. In my own opinion which of course is subjective, similar to yours, Iwobi didn't look older in that picture.

I don't think so. Either they are same age or Iwobi is older.

My earlier point wasn't even this picture. This picture is just added evidence for the table we're shaking. Iwobi left at six years and I'm very sure that no six year old will have a three year old as his close friend. It sounds very ridiculous. People of that age relate more to their direct age mate or about a year difference, mainly because of size and intellectual difference.

Osimhen has played as a winger just 10 times in his club career.. That's like 10% of his career appearance.. Stop making it look like it's a regular thing.. The wing is a makeshift roles for him..He isn't like Rashford that's classified as a forward and has played several times at CF and the wings.. Even Iheanacho has played a few times in the wings...
I'll say again,it's not advisable to move him to the wings just so other strikers can have the CF role..
Onuachu was scoring more than Osimhen at club level but was flopping in the national team until Rohr had to switch to a two man forward before he found his mojo.. Now you want Osimhen moved to the wing .o wrong na

That he played only ten times, may not mean that he can't play, Rohr said he could. That's my point.

Anyway, none of our points matters to Rohr, let's see what he will do by June.

Doesn't matter if he can play it well or better than our wingers.. fact is,he doesn't play there regularly. that makes him a makeshift.. and you don't use players in makeshift roles unless absolutely necessary..
Abeg,we had enough with Shehu and Awaziem being used as makeshift RB .
If you know Rohr well, you would observe that once he starts using a player in a certain role,he would keep using him there for like forever..

Akpoe had to be deployed as a RB just so he could play..at the expense of other available RB...That didn't turn out well

I don't agree with that. The season he is having is too good for him not to be a contender. He even added 2 AFCON qualifier goals to boot. Plus mane and Auba might not make the podium and that leaves 2 slots.

He’s not in any of the Top 5 leagues nor did he participate in any European/continental competition. They won’t pay him any mind.
