Inactivity is similar to an injury, the difference is.

For an injury you need to get back to your best fitness level.
For inactivity, you just need to maintain your current fitness level.

Sandro Tonali was banned a year ago, he came back one game, starred and Italy invited him for AFCON.

This same Ivan Toney was banned for 8 months, came back, had a banging Euros and secured oil money.

Greenwood didn't play for almost 2 years
Came back, stunned La Liga and is currently the face of Ligue 1.

Don't be a donut, my good man.

Italy invited him for Afcon 😂

AwonPalaba:
Calenda has ruined Osimhen's career. Napoli has done away with Osimhen and Chelsea were unwilling to acquiesce to such salary demands.

What leverage did they think they had? Very poor negotiating.

Exactly.
The fact he was the one forcing his way out of the club meant he had to be considerate.

Unwanted Sterling accepted wage cut to move to Arsenal.
Unwanted Sancho secured a move to his boyhood Chelsea only because he took a significant wage paycut.


Napoli had already accepted a paycut on his transfer 135m to 65m

Osimhen could have done same.

JohnBullMySon:


Oga forget talk, no one goes on a long sabbatical and comes back the same.

The question is not if Osimhen can return to be a good striker but if he will still be exceptional.

You're just spewing for the sake of it.

The whole footballing world went on a sabbatical in 2020 due to covid for 3 months.

Not just any break, a recess where no contact training was possible for months. Only in-house workouts.

In fact Mourinho was almost fined for personal training with Ndombele

Ligue 1 was 5 months because they ended their league.

And guess what, PSG who went on the longest sabbatical made their first UCL final this century.


Osimhen is out for only 4 months, and has access to team training.
He also has 6 competitive games to boost his morale and keep his mind sharp .

It’s a loss for all parties involved Napoli, Chelsea and Osimhen. You think Osimhen can demand for huge wages after 6 months of non active football? He will likely end up in that same Saudi Arabia he’s avoiding now with huge pay cut. I feel sorry for the man.

Not the same scenario here. Covid paused football worldwide took a bit of time for everyone to readjust. This one is affecting only Osimhen, world football is going on. How do you stay relevant without active football when club football is going on. Bad for a professional footballer

That was definitely a slip of mind/typo or whatever we want to call it, please sir, let's concentrate on the context, he obviously was referring to the Euros.

He can still.
All he needs is to remain relevant.
By that time though he'll be 26.

I wish I could like this 100 times!!! Well said. Let me add to the list, Kanu had a heart surgery and was out for several months and still dazzled with Arsenal after that. Neymar has been out for too many times injured and he still remained Neymar each time he came back.
Diego Amando Maradona was banned from football because of cocaine use for 15 minutes even when he don dey old, yet he showed us pepper at the US 94. Infact he carried Argentina on his back at the 94 world cup till he was banned again for failing a drug test.
With what Osimhen did to rise from his Wolfsburg horrors, don't count him out yet.

Osimehn can definitely come out of this mess and he knows the needful. If not…

So somehow you believe that there will be a better deal in January than September?

LOL 😂

Good point.
Greenwood?

Two years is major for a youngster.

Suarez.
Banned 4 months for biting Chielini
Banned 10 games for bitting Ivanovic

Even Cantona was suspended for 9 months

JohnBullMySon:

Once bitten, twice shy.
Experience is best answer.

With ostracization from first team. Osimhen can now keep in contact with any club.

Don't be surprised if he moves January 1.

I know what he was referring to

Some comments on her can be very frustrating. Guys have clarity of thought for once na. I'd like to clarify a few thoughts and hopefully people will stop saying them moving forward

1. Osimhen should have gone to Saudi Arabia

Osimhen literally gave the go ahead. The Saudi folks have been in Naples since Thursday, had agreed 100% terms with both Napoli and Victor with the understanding that should Victor not reach an agreement with Chelsea they will sign him. Victor gave the go ahead Thursday night/Friday morning, and Napoli immediately renegade on earlier agreement, requested 5M extra and killed the deal. So Victor not moving to Saudi Arabia wasn't a fault of his at all.


2. Osimhen's value will drop cause he'll stop playing.

First of all, Osimhen has at least 6 competitive games with Nigeria before December. So there's no scenerio like many have painted, that he'll be off football totally. Also, Victor is a mentality player, if I were a betting man I'll bet on the street boy from Olusosun who against all odds made a name for himself to become a top striker in football today. Victor just needs to work in himself and I'm almost certain offers will come at the right time.

What's worst case scenario if going by the argument here clubs in Europe don't come? He gets another offer from Saudi Arabia and still makes all the money in the end.

Osimhen is now his only enemy in those 4 months.

That’s the point. I’m not saying Osimhen will never get to play top flight football again. I’m simply saying. Sitting on the sidelines will make things worse. He won’t get anything better in Europe in January.

Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi both starts for Fulham

He may. It depends on perception. A clever manager may quickly realize he could get a good player for 60 million or less and not bother about summer.
Not every coach is stat crazy. A good olayer like that going for a cheap prize is a big opportunity and there is no point waiting fir Sumner. Psg could get him for 50 million in the winter if their strikers are not playing well. Some managers love issues like this. A player having problems with his manager who is supposedly not too good again. If am a manager I will go for him in January at a cheap price

Josh Maja and Semi Ajayi both starts for West Brom

opes:
I pray another Saudi offer comes between now and Monday

which yeye Saudi offer. Osimhen is not going to Saudi league.

Some people are just so weird. When the Saudi offer was made to Osimhen you didn’t want him to go there. The young man refused to go and try to remain in Europe but Chelsea couldn’t meet up with his demand. Instead of y’all to be impress with his determination to remain in Europe rather than wasting his talent in KSA, y’all lots are castigating him for not accepting peanut from Chelsea. Osimhen is a fighter and he will surely come out of this situation successfully. It is better to be inactive than to waste his talent in a shitty Saudi league.

Danielnino00:


We know the news of the deal collapsing made you so happy..... calm down, that joy won't last long

Komekn typical badbelly calling it realism. Oshey realist. We know what you are.

lovewins:


Let's for the purpose of argument concede that Osimhen is requesting more than his he is worth, can you articulate specificly what you think a realistic value is? No abstracts, give us what you think Osimhen is worth.

I'm aware you don't necessarily fancy Victor, but it shouldn't rob you of objectivity. I'm not his family member neither am I his friend so I am not so emotionally invested that I can't see things objectively.

Chelsea's wage structure? Again for the purpose of argument, let's agree he should be kept within that structure. Did Chelsea offer something substantial said structure will accommodate ? Did they offer £220-250k (which frequently injured Reese James currently earns) and he refused? Did they make any attempts to meet him half way?

Let's again for arguments sake agree he's not Haaland, Kane not Mbappe. Let's even agree for arguments sake he's just half the man said players are and should earn 50% less than they currently earn.

Kilian Mbappe's yearly salary is €31 Million
Harry Kane's yearly salary is €25 million
Erling Haaland's yearly salary is £19.5M

Going by the above, if we even agree Osimhen is just half the man and half as good as the above players you mentioned are he should at the very least be worth £10 Million. What did Chelsea offer? £4M in guaranteed salary according to Di Marzio and £6M if the widely reported 150k weekly wage is correct.

Finally, you guys should dead the "no club values him" nonsense. Wasn't PSG willing to pay? Didn't Napoli themselves consider him worth that? Isn't he earning something substantial as is? Other top clubs in the EPL also reportedly didn't have a problem with his wages. The common denominator was doing business with Napoli.

I had to take my times to go into specifics so you have specifics to respond to cause people sometimes hide in abstracts to make ridiculous points. So even if I am totally concede to the argument you made, and translate said argument into specific numbers you are still wrong.

Oh so we don't forget Komekn, please tell us specifically what you think the current African Player of the year, 8th in Balon D'or ranking and "half the man Halaand, Kane and Mbappe is" is worth in your own estimation.

Komekn is not so shrewd as he thinks. He hides his animus for Victor using abstract word salad. Now that you have pinned him to specifics, watch how he'd denigrate Victor.

ChrisKels:


Anybody still in doubt?

We have this fake notion that the Nigerian spirit is one that beats all odds so much so that we believe that we can still qualify regardless of our dire qualification stance.

The Nigerian spirit is rather one where with all the rich resources and opportunities, still produces negative results.

charlesemeka85:
I don comot body for the matter, even afcon qualification no sure too

At least everybody go rest.

ChrisKels:
George Ilenikena deserves an opportunity with the eagles now that Osimhen is not an active professional footballer.

Wetin be this 😂😂😂😂

ADL will want to sell Osi ASAP. He’s one of their highest earners at the club and it makes no sense to pay him to sit on the sidelines. If a decent offer comes in January, they’ll sell.

For Osimhen, he should just focus on training and his NT duty. Players have had 8-9 months on the sidelines and come back well. Toney was training in the US during his betting ban.

Your footballing instinct doesn’t just leave you overnight. The main thing is to keep physically fit.

You still see guys like Zizou and Romario with the touch and skills even until today at some of their charity matches. It’s just they don’t have the legs to keep up the physicality
