I suggest you listen to what Fabrizio is saying

He will accept if the salary and realease clause is ok

TheSuperNerd:
Osimhen did it yes. At Lille. And he is that fast. Haaland is fast too but I think Osimhen edges.

AndSunGorilla:
@Joebie, I noticed that Ajiballer wasn't listed in Barnsley matchday squad today, what's going on with him?

Marjoribanks:
It is baffling, how Osimhen managed to score 15 goals in 22 games in this Napoli team?

This team is awful!

Napoleon55:

People are talking about whether it's OK for him to go to Saudi or not and u are talking about bringing back Ighalo, is Ighalo the next striker in line to replace Osimhen .

You just want Osimhen out of top 3 league so that u will have enough things to say about his talent.

Joebie:
Haha I no get Ajiballer news o.

It's actually 25 games in Seria A 2023/24 not 22.

Who remembers the Brilliant Nigerian U17 midfield of Ozor Okeke, Basil Mbata, Raphael Oyebanjo, and Ebube Okere from the Wafu B U17 tournament 2 yrs ago that had Light Eke, Jubril Azeez and Abdullahi Abubakar?

Well, one of the talented midfield 4 just secured a move to Scandinavian league football.

VICTOR OZOR OKEKE. Wore #10 at that Wafu B Tournament. The midfield talent joins IF Elfsborg of Sweden in the Swedish Allsvenskan.

Naija Talents Watch: Ozor Okeke, 15-16yrs

One of the lads expected to fly Nigeria's flag in Ghana at the Wafu B U17 Afcon Qualifiers tournament.

Like already mentioned in my U17 Players to watch at the WafuB, he's a young Midfield Dynamo from Triple44 Football Academy, based in Ibadan.

Same academy produced Peter Olawale of the last U17 class (2019) who is now at Hapoel R'anana in Israel and Emmanuel Adeyemo who is at FC Vizela.

Ozor Okeke is expected to be the team's conductor and driving force through the middle. More will be seen from him as from this weekend in Ghana.

Keep watch at the WafuB u17.

Mikel Obi's Classy Response to Nicoloas Jackson's childish rants after he scored just one goal vs Wolves.


🚨🗣️ John Obi Mikel responds to Nicolas Jackson: "If he scores every week and tells me to shut up, I'll take that."


Class from Odogwu with a subtle shot in the message as well🙌🏽🙌🏽

JohnBullMySon:
Mikel should shut the f**k up. Criticism is done with wisdom. He called the guy by name and even went ahead to suggest his replacement.

The lad felt put down and was rightly offended. Suggesting who should replace someone while criticizing the person is highly disrespectful.

TheSuperNerd:
If Scholes, The Nevilles, Roy Keane, Graeme Souness and other lots get to have a say about their teams and have a go at how good or how bad certain players are in game phases and you don't say they should shut up, then I see no reason why you insist for Mikel to keep mute. He should have his say as well.

JohnBullMySon:
It is acceptable to criticize someone. It is not acceptable to be calling another player as someone's replacement.

Like I said wisdom is the key. When you criticize someone, the 'aim' is to make it look like he is not doing well. Mikel's words went beyond that. He was basically saying 'Look, you are inferior and should not be at Chelsea'.

TheSuperNerd:
He didn't insult Jackson. He criticised the way Jackson hit the ball and said Chelsea needs a striker who can "deliver" that metric consistently and elevate their game.

We say as much here on this thread about our lads when they underperform and don't give us what we want in certain roles. So how is Mikel's any different??

Jackson is an immature crybaby and he showed it last season when he was involved in fighting for a penalty kick with Cole Palmer. He should grow a thick skin and up his game because truth be told, Jackson is actually not the striker to take Chelsea to the next level. Goodluck to Chelsea on that.

Mikel is actually right. He wasn't saying nonsense.

He suggested Chelsea should sign Osimhen to replace him. Mikel does not know how to censor his words. He can make his point without being disrespectful.

This is not the first time he's saying something silly. The other day he was criticizing dual nationality players like the single nationality players love Nigeria so much. If he loved Naija that much he should be doing his podcast in Lagos not London.

TheSuperNerd:
Where did Mikel mention Osimhen in that clip? I have seen that short clip. You are just painting Mikel the way you want because you don't want to hear his opinion whereas you are okay hearing the constant rubbishes white pundits say. Let it rest.

I can see you are very okay with Jackson's childish rant whereas you were not okay when Osimhen did his on IG. Selective outspokenness.

junnyjake:


And again, he didn't criticize dual nationality players.

He was only against players taking Nigeria as a 2nd option when their career is winding down.

You obviously did not watch those interviews, you're only depending on roadside gossips. If you indeed watch his interviews and you're hanging on to these narratives, then, it's worse than I thought.

JohnBullMySon:


He said it. It wasn't inside the clip that went viral. What he did wasn't right bruh. Suggesting that players are inferior and will never be good enough is bad take.

TheSuperNerd:
Mikel even said he wasn't disrespecting Jackson. Listen to Roy Keane talk about a player being bad or inconsistent for Man Utd and you will realise Mikel said "nice things" compared to Keane.

JohnBullMySon:


Winding down at 25?

If he had an English passport he would delay as well. Its normal. Everybody wants the best.

VO is very far off from the above mentioned players and may NEVER get to the level 🎚️ these three players have got to. They are consistently world class players over several seasons in their leagues.

Kane just destroyed the Bundesliga 32 games 36 goals last season that's CRAZY. Mbappe and Haaland since teenage years have been hitting crazy goal figures.

VO has only scored more than 20 league goals once in his entire football ⚽ career and that was 2022/23 were he got the golden boot with 26 goals in Seria A.

Prior to 2022/23 Seria A season, VO has never scored more than 15 goals in a season in all the leagues he has played. Is that what your call world class pedigree ❓I would say potentially world 🌎 class but not there yet 😞

Nunez is a striker that has had to adapt to playing as an inverted striker winger in Liverpool. He simply struggles he is more technically astute than VO but still struggled.

VO has always been the focus of attention the head 🗣️ of the diamond 💎 as a quintessential number 9 striker everywhere he has played.

If he goes to any of these clubs he will not be the "Star boy" focus of attention where the team is structured around him. And you think 🤔 he will just BANG IT.

VO played in the AFCON and scored one goal 🥅 he played against Liverpool over two legs and he got bullied and out sprinted and out muscled 💪🏿 by Konate and Van Dyke. That should tell you something about the EPL .

I think his best bet is PSG not going to be easy because he is nowhere near as good as Mbappe. But he will do enough I hope to satisfy the huge transfer fee.
