Analysing the Big teams just after Benzema left Madrid after winning the UCL in 2022 and Osimhen conquering Italy in 2023, I concluded that the Big sides who truly needed an Osimhen-striker profile in order of availability and profile fits are:

1. Arsenal.

2. Real Madrid.

3. Manchester Utd.

4. Chelsea.

Since then... the following has happened:


- Arsenal has still not gotten a true number 9.

- Real Madrid went for Bellingham and switched their formation to allow Bellingham bomb the box at will with Vini and Rodrygo operating as twin forwards who can also go wingwards to allow space for Bellingham to attack and create overloads centrally.
They have also added Mbappe.

- Man utd went for Hojlund and then recently Zirkzee.

- Chelsea settled for Jackson and now Marc Guiu and overload of attacking wingers (Palmer, Neto, Sancho, Mudryk, Madueke).


So you see... Arsenal needs Osimhen the most then I would say followed by Madrid because they haven't truly replaced Benzema. They have only compensated for his void by adapting a different tactical approach.

I said it earlier in one of my post…na Madrid need osimhen pass .and I am sure if Dey av offered what Chelsea offered …he would go

No player will want to deny Madrid project

One thing that may have put off clubs like Arsenal from Osimhen is his injury record.

G.Jesus is already quite injury prone. Spending a lot of money for Osimhen might be too much of a gamble for them.

In his 4 seasons at Napoli, Osimhen has only played in 30+ league games once..

including PSG who at the moment have only Muani as Ramos is 3 months out. any of these clubs could urgently need a striker by Jan, if they show any interest by Jan, i don’t see how Chelsea can compete with them

I have a feeling that Eguavoen might just succeed this second time with the SE. He carefully selected his squad list and is carefully choosing his assistants. Heard he was also looking for assistants from Belgium. With his past experiences, he won't want to fail again. He will also bring discipline into that team with his strong face. Let's give him a chance. What we are looking for in Sokoto might just be in our shokoto

i dont know about carefully selected tho. give chatgpt a list of players that have played for us in the last one year and tell it to draft a list of potential invites, that eguavon list will pop out. its a generic super eagles list.

Thank you!
Everybody keeps mentioning Arsenal. Let me add two more things.
1. AFCON is also an issue. I think this is why Pep hardly go for African players. I might be wrong
2. Can Osimhen give the same output as Haaland? I mean Arsenal scored the highest number of goals in their history last season without a traditional striker. If they are refocusing their attack to accommodate Osimhen, then he must give them what Haaland give City if not exact, at least a bit close.

'Wanted to include PSG but then the Ramos and Muani deals make me not to. Currently yes, what you stated below is their situation and there are reports PSG was in the picture for Osimhen at a point before the deal fell through no thanks to "you know who".

By January, the big clubs would look at themselves and assess if indeed they need a top quality striker immediately or by the summer.

By then, the available 2 topmost quality CFs would be Osimhen (inactive for now at Napoli) and Viktor Gyokeres.

Time will tell.

Eguavon intent to recruit two NPFL coaches notably the Remo Stars coach is awesome

For years this coach plus the Enugu Rangers coach have been outstanding with little recognition from the NFF.

This men are doing well on the local scene so they deserve the push and trust me their experience will be sure vital to the super eagles progress

I pray Equeavon excel this time, he really need to mend broken fences in the super eagles squad and restore Ekong leadership status
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by humility33(m): 11:43am On Sep 02
It is painful that oshimen has to go through all this

He needs to let go of his agent dude is not helping him.

Also those his friends he keep around him, they're good but he need to know when to involve him in his career.

He need people to look up to and to take advice from. Someone like Ighalo is more like a big Brother to him

This is someone from same state and tribe with you. He grew up in lagos like you, played in Italy, Spain, England, China and Saudi and also the super eagles.

So for me I will advise him to take Ighalo as his mentor and someone he can talk to. It was obvious prior that finidi video he die not even speak with ighalo or any senior player or someone that has sense prior making that video

He needs someone that cqlm him down and he respects.

He should learn fast, with all the riches and fame ighalo has he doesn't mingle with celebrities like Bob Risky or the likes.

He is a top brand and he should focus more on his career for now there is still time to do all that after retirement.

He does not need all those partying and clubbing friends

LMAO, I know you'll milk Nwakali's situation

Actually it's got nothing absolutely nothing to do with Nwakali at all.

It's about a group of charlatans and some with over inflated delusional ego turning blackπŸ–€to White.

Calling him exceptional and the best passing long ball midfielder in Nigeria was and is simply ludicrous. A number of us where in contention with his hallelujah choristers not Nwakali himself.

Using shameless over hype and misinformation to present a totally false narrative.

That's the issue not the person of Nwakali.

Just the same way you predicted the midfield maestro the solution to the problems in the SE Nwakali wil be in a big club.

Midfield maestro , finally got on to the bench of Barnsley in the 4th game of the season but is yet to play a game in the league.



Your fiendishness and hatred has gotten out of hand.

What does a normal and sensible human being suppose to say about another person's predicament, wish him more problems, or wish him well?

Mr TheGoodJoe wished that Osimhen would find a good home soon,but u disagree, instead he should predict his downfall and join Nwakali and make u happy.

U or nobody knows what will happen tomorrow, whether u predict doom or not.
God can still decide to see him through to overcome his problems and mistakes.

Abeg which other chance are you referring to, cos he's already on his 3rd chance with the SE when some other coaches like Amunike dy look for just one chance.

Yet u are the only one still obsessed with Nwakali,
No one is still asking that Nwakali should be invited anymore.

Are u trying to imply that he should still be discussed because he now plays in England?
Do u think he now deserved to be invited, is that it?
