Let me educate you as you lack context and are overwhelmed with emotive preference and sentiment.

Two questions

1. Is VO a quintessential striker strictly speaking 🗣️ a number 9 , nothing else and nothing more.❓

2. Yekini, Ikpeba, Emeniki, Ideye, Obagoal, Ighalo have been the quintessential number 9 striker for the SE, over the past decades. And most recently VO.❓

In my humble opinion Amokachi, Kanu, Okocha, were NEVER strikers and quintessential number 9s for the SE.

You are essentially making no sense to make a comparison 😞 of VO with Kanu, Okocha, Amokachi,etc.

Educate yourself first and stop confusing yourself with quintessential for Victor Ikpeba was not even used as your quintessential number 9 in Nigerian teams but as a forward,the roles he played in Nigeria teams is not the same with his club.
Ideye also.

Okocha is an attacking midfielder, I don't know where u see me mentioned him as a striker.

Kanu and Amokachi are forwards,they are expected to score goals,
Messi is a forward,he scores goals.

Yekini, Osimhen, Obagoal are strikers,your quintessential number 9s,they are expected to score goals so as forwards.

When u are done dancing in circles,
my question is,
As u claimed that Osimhen is inconsistent because he scored just one goal in AFCON
How would u describe Kanu as considering that he could not score even one goal on 5 AFCON attempts?

After not getting the approval from Chelsea despite training in London, Hafiz Umar Ibrahim has now completed a move to French Ligue 1 side, Stade Reims from Nigerian academy Ojodu City FC.

“E dun set” and confirmed ✅

The 18-year-old striker signed four years contract.

#MikeThePundit

All these talks and the value on it was a meagre 155k euros per week?? For the Reigning Best Player in Africa?? A Serie A Champion with a side not called Juve or either of the Milan Clubs.

Chelsea should f**k off! They should complete their own puzzle with Jackson and Guiu.

jihday:
- Maresca told Victor Osimhen that he’s going to be a starter & the club plan to fight and win the Premier league.
- Also told him he has been an admirer for years & he’s needed to complete the Chelsea puzzle.

Victor respectfully declined & decided to stay at Napoli. It’s over.

Via Osimhen close ally

Finally for the 2023 Viareggio Cup Top Scorer.

Victor Osimhen not leaving Italy is sad for me coz his playing time is now uncertain. I love to see my monster machine playing and enjoying his football.

ADL truly has proven what a Monstrous B**tard he is but it's his loss in the end. He will pay Osimhen his wages whether he plays or not and by January, they better sell to salvage something before Osimhen leaves for far less in the summer of 2025.

Chelsea’s offer to Osimhen revealed: €4m per season guaranteed, plus another €4m in bonuses (€2m for UCL qualification and €2m for goals and appearances), the €4m guaranteed is LESS THAN HALF of his Napoli salary.

Chelsea would have at least needed to get to €8-9m for Osimhen, that would be at least closer to his €11m net, but Chelsea decided NO.

[Di Marzio]

Chelsea spent 60million euros this same window on an attacking winger who only bagged 3 goals across all competitions last season but couldn't even match up to the 65-75M Al Ahli offered and could not even set a wage of at least 200k per week for one of the top 5 strikers on the planet.

Osimhen, according to Transfermrkt is the 4th most valuable CF on the planet behind Haaland, Mbappe and Lautaro Martinez.

This is who we are talking about but because he is Nigerian, una no rate am enough. Shame!

This is Ridiculously stewpid from Chelsea. Just look at this nonsense. Wow. What a club.

Osimhen is no Hojlund or Jackson. He is Osimhen, Africa's most valuable player and Africa's only 100M-rated player on Transfermrkt. World's 4th most valuable CF for goodness sake.

Look, I wanted Osimhen at Chelsea too because I wanted him in the EPL but not like this abeg. Not for these absolutely deplorable terms. For what?? Let them offer it to Dusan Vlahovic, let me check something. Rubbish!

I will not allow my desire to see Osimhen in the EPL blind me to the ridiculous offers tabled by Chelsea. This is arrant dung.

From Monday, napoli will surely evaluate what to do.

If Osimhen gets his head straight, apologizes to the team for his behavior and makes himself available to the manager, then perhaps Conte will use him.

As a fan, I know Victor's value and I know that no one in the world has two strikers of the value of Lukaku and Osimhen. In Serie A, . At the same time, however, it could be the dynamite that blows up the locker room.

All of Conte's staff, ADL, Manna, Osimhen and even Di Lorenzo as a representative of the team should be locked in a room and talk.

Make we talk true
Chelsea no try at all

Osimhen is in the same class with halaand and mbape and so he should be treated like one abi na because him na African?

JohnBullMySon:


You're too quick to type responses. Sometimes you got to calm the f*ck down, understand the fucking point before replying. What does undervalued mean then?

Why did Napoli scrub the PSG deal? Was it not Transfer fee that was the disagreement?

First, learn to be civil with your engagements without cursing at people.

That said, you literally quoted me so the use of "undervalue" had a context. The post you quoted was me implying that Chelsea's offer to Victor was indicative of them not valuing him. So Osimhen being undervalued in that context was Chelsea specific.

You however broadened the scope (at the very least that what I inferred from your post) by asking howa move to Saudi Arabia was going to help him value wise. I teh responded by showing he could hav moved to other clubs who were willing to pay Napoli more than Chelsea were offering, and we're also willing to pay his requested wage had Napoli not frustrated the deal. My point being his not being valued was Chelsea specific and didn't necessarily extend to other clubs.

Is this clearer now?

SamueItem337:
You are totally wrong
If any club was ready to pay his release clause there was nothing Napoli could do to frustrate the deal


PSG and the other EPL clubs you talked about were not ready to pay his release clause
Even Al Ahli did not meet his release clause

Again you're mistake and I already addressed this in an earlier post. What a club is willing to pay another for a player isn't always indicative of their value of said player, especially when there's leverage for them to get a better deal seeing the other party was in a desperate situation.

Paying Victor's buyouts clause when you can get him cheaper is just bad business for whoever is buying, and that is not how you measure how he's valued. How you measure that is how he's personally treated and how much they are willing to pay the player personally to get is signature which was my argument. PSG and other clubs who tried to sign him didn't have a problem paying Victor his requested wages, only Chelsea did.

elyte89:
I Dey pity osimhen sha if he decides to stay….d way he go chop bench ,e no go funny…

Making him sit on the bench will reduce his market value and when they sell him they will make less money.
His salary is high and so why pay so much for someone who is not working.
I don't even think lukaku can really bench him. The season is too long.
The owner of napoli has too much to loose.
So he will bench him and sell him for cheap next summer.
Isimhen has everything to gain. He should not just sign a contract extension

That is what I'm wondering.
Adl has everything to loose.
From even a commercial point of view he is loosing a lot.
Bencing him is ridiculous by November his need will be felt. The season is long. All is a great looser

I got to know ADL because of Arkadiusz Milik. Blinded by the turnaround of fortunes he brought to Napoli he has eulogized himself tone deaf that he thinks he is some Tzar.

I only appreciate that Osimhen shone there

The only solution now is to apologize to Finidi, napoli hierarchy and also his team mates. He doesn’t have to do it publicly, a private apology and reconciliation is enough. If he does that, he will be granted another chance at the first team and has time to score multiple goals. If he doesn’t, I’m sorry

You must be Deluded. It’s yes men like you that are responsible for this nonsense. Chelsea has a new wage structure and they’re selling all their players above that structure and you want them to break the structure because of one player? You guys think everywhere is Nigeria with your emotional biased. All he had to do was sign, perform in his first season and he has all the leverage to siphon more money

In Life, Avoid YES MEN by any and absolutely means possible. Those marafckers will slow you to self destruct and criticize anyone that constructively caution you. The same people will mock you during your downfall. This man was not mentally prepared for Winning and surrounding himself with bunch of yes men made it worse

what is this one talking? Baba rest.

Bannedlargejr:
Honestly, I blame osimehn and yes men for this debacle. First of all, we warned him about his attitude and they disparaged us. He insulted ikpeba , yes men supported him. He had a serious issue with his siblings, yes men supported him. The guy started shouting at his teammates for club at country after any misplaced pass, and yesmen supported him. (Afcon was a humbling experience) Napoli social media disrespected him and they reconciled few days later. Osimehn went on air and was boasting that, he has made his decision on leaving Napoli. The Worst event now happened. This man got on LIVE, Disrespect his national team Coach (Verbal violence) disrespect his national team (Verbal insult) threatened his friends to headbutt them (Physical violence) how DUMB/Self destructive can one become, Yes men supported. It was when I realized that Nigerians are mentally retarded. If you’re a director of football, will you be willing to pay an astronomical amount for such an unstable character??
Solution: Apologize to Finidi, Napoli hierarchy/teammates and score goals and team will begin to rush you. If he decide to continue being arrogant, it’s definitely going downhill from here.. whenever bunch of social media Nigerians are in support of your behavior, just be aware that, you’re going in the Wrong path. A whole African footballer of the year was Available for 70 Million and bunch of clubs did not rush for his signature. In life, pride goes before downfall and one needs to learn how to smell the coffin. Go and apologize to Finidi, and also Napoli hierarchy and avoid Yes men at all cost

so what will happen? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️

Reports in various Germany outlets say Bruno Labbadia has now turned down the NFF offer of being the next Super Eagles coach.

🚨OFFICIAL: Eguavoen to lead Super Eagles, as German tax laws botch NFF, Labbadia deal
 
Stringent regulations of German tax authorities have conspired to abort the agreement between the Nigeria Football Federation and Coach Bruno Labbadia for the latter to mount the saddle as Head Coach of Nigeria’s Senior Men Team, Super Eagles.  
 
“We have been on the tax issue for the past three days, and I told him clearly that there was no way the NFF will agree to offset the concomitant tax percentage on his salary that will be demanded by German tax authorities. It is not possible for us to shoulder the responsibility of shelling out another money, between 32% to 40% of his salary, after paying the agreed monthly wage.
 
“The NFF and Mr. Labbadia reached an agreement in principle before we made the announcement that he would become the Head Coach of the Super Eagles. The tax details were never part of our discussions, and he had personally agreed to all terms before the tax issue came up. We were doing our best to be flexible in the discussions but he was adamant that the NFF had to pay the full tax amount as well. We simply cannot do that,” President of NFF, Ibrahim Musa Gusau, said on Friday evening.
 
In the event, Technical Director of Nigeria Football Federation, Coach Augustine Eguavoen will now take charge of the Super Eagles for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Benin Republic (Uyo, 7th September) and Rwanda (Kigali, 10th September).
 
It will be Eguavoen’s fourth stint in charge of the three-time African champions, after earlier experience in 2005-2007, 2010 and 2022.

Are the best trio on paper and they can win another Seria. This lineup is too potent! Someone just has to be the bigger guy. In hindsight, I don’t think finances were his incentive but lack of Respect. If would had signed to a saudi club if it was a financial incentive but because of the presumed lack of respect shown by Chelsea, he decided to remain

A lot of analysis on the osimhen situation. One thing folks are leaving out is the power of the Napoli ultras and fans. Osimhen is revered at Napoli. Conte and ADL should pray they win games home and away. Don’t be surprised to hear chants of Osimhen at games when things turn bad. Osimhen relax collect your money.

Simple, thank you jare. The way the conversation is going on here, you will think osihmen have been sacked or now clubless, even those saying he will chop bench I just Dey laugh 😆

Osimhen can never be benched, lie lie

In other news, Atalanta also didn't allow Lookman leave and they also didn't offer a new deal
Seems he's stuck with his $73k per week unless he moves in the winter
This will be a long season for our guys
Hmmm

Update.

It seems Napoli has successfully frustrated the Saudi deal. Napoli had prior to today agreed on a deal with Al Ahli but after reaching an agreement with Victor, Napoli instead demanded an extra €5M outside their initial agreement.

Seems the Saudis are walking away and now going with Toney as their intention was to sign just one of them with Victor being top priority. Victor will likely stay in Naples this season.

Omo you said it 😭
