Hyping a player who continues to put the ball in the back of the net is normal. He is currently the highest goal scorer in Belgium. He keeps delivering. What is there not to hype? No one is calling him a Lionel Messi but he deserves the attention, he is getting.
There are two extremes, over hyping and Dismissing..
You are on the other extreme. Football is about results and so far this season, Onyekuru has produced results. Dismissing that will fall flat every time.
I have watched Onyekuru, several times. I am not basing my opinions on a highlight reel. He certainly has enormous potential.
I do not understand why you are showing clips of Simon Moses to prove a point about Onyekuru. Has Simon Moses scored 23 goals this season? Does that not already show you a difference in their play.
Ronaldo is Selfish, Thierry Henry was selfish, Lionel Messi also goes on selfish runs.. No one complains when they are producing results. Onyekuru is producing results. Bottom line.
This same Cameroun conquered Africa and didn't even have the services of Onana, Choupo-moting, Matip, M'bia, Bassong, and even ageless Kameni.
In Fabrice Ondoa of Sevilla, they have one of Africa's best Goalies now alongside Ajax's Andre Onana.
Ofcos, Ikeme trumps them but he is injured and Alampasu and Emma Daniel are two Young Nigerian goalies who belong to Ondoa's and Onana's generation and can rival the two young Cameroonians depending on how much they keep progressing.
In Akpeyi and Ezenwa... we just have "makeshift goalies".... Goalies we are just managing.
The real deals for the near future are Daniel and Alampasu for now until another joins that bracket of special rising Naija Goalies for this growing generation of the Super Eagles.
In their Defence, They have Teiku, Ngadjui and co.... yes their clubsides are not as reputable as Mainz of Germany or even KAA Gent or Chelsea but uhmmm.... don't be too quick to write them off okay.... Truth is Nigeria commands a fearsome array of talents and a really scary squad albeit a very young one still gelling... but we must not underrate the Camerounians.
In the French ligue 1, They have Their Talisman and inspirational Captain, Benjamin Moukandjo of Lorient whose goals helped his team stay up I think. He is one to watch..... he alongside that Vincent Aboubakar lad of Besiktas (formerly of Porto) and Bassogog who is surprisingly china-based now.... (I remember when I dropped a news on that I think many pages back... me or someone did).
So in conclusion.... Cameroun are African champs so we must accord them that little respect. And I say "little" because if we pay them huge or too much respect, it will make us overly cautious... and I don't want that... we need our team to be daring and have that "Kick these guys' asses and show them they are nothing" attitude which translates into a kind of fearlessnesses that will make us get pass the so-called "Cameroun becomes a different animal when they see Nigeria" anthem and beat these Camerounians for good, better and the best....
So it matters not where the camerounians play... they gave the rest of Africa the middle finger when they defied the odds and won their fifth title with majority of same players from "Backwater leagues/clubs"
Let us just focus on our game and beat them silly. I just wanna humble the African Champs....
This is well articulated dude. Though i still believe nff ineptitude cost us the last nations cup. How do u engage an Oliseh with no experience and call him african Guardiola? That was the beginning of our woe. If we had Gernot Rohr or even a siasia who started the qualifiers, there's no way we wouldn't have qualified for the nations cup and probably win the tournament with our sharp players. Our plan is to beat them here in Nigeria and garner 9 points while they remain on 2. Even if we lose in Yaounde, we will still have 9 point while they have 5, Zambia comes, we trash them and sit on 12 points. If they beat Algeria, they will have 8 and even if we lose our last match to algeria, we will still be on 12 points and if they defeat zambia in the last match, they will have 11 points while we qualify with our 12 points. The game plan here is just to beat them here at home.

almost all the super eagle players where also hype before the receive their call up
you even went ahead and called the names of players that did not live up to their hypes and forget those that live up to their hypes
osimhen is one of the most hype player here so i don't see what is wrong hyping our players
payet play for west ham and was one of the best player for france at euro
onyekuru is been hype here because of his goals not for his speed or dribbles
and if ideye did not score after receiving the pass or if he had score, you will not said what you just said
as you said let hope for the best from our players

Bros your argument is baseless, all players have been hyped one way or the other so that doesn't make a difference, comparing simon's error to onyekuru is uncalled for, I know u liked oshimen but he also has not been tasted in the super eagles just like onyekuru so they both have to compete, but based on form and performance currently onyekuru edges him out, a good coach will always pick form when selecting. Also know that awoniyi have a better form than oshimen this season and I see no reason why he is not selected ahead of oshimen.

Awoniyi? Ok now that's funny. I agree that Onyekuru is presently better than Oshimen. I mean Oshimen is playing for a mid table team in Germany where Leipzig is about to place second but this lad was wanted by perennial scotish champions, CELTIC!!! however I disagree that Awoniyi has been in better form than Oshimen
Is he going to West Ham now? Somebody needs to get me this guy's phone number!
Why go to West Ham when Everton is interested? A little birdie told me that Ronald Koeman wants to get him as a replacement for Ross Barkley who isn't gonna sign a new contract. And the plan is also get acquire Kelechi to replace Lukaku. My advice to Henry Onyekuru, the off season just started, be patience....take your time and make the best possible decision for your career.

TheSuperNerd: Bringing Henry Onyekuru to West Ham would mean Bilic is getting it right again in the transfer market
The young Nigerian has been linked with a move to West Ham United .
According to a recent report from Own Goal Nigeria , West Ham United have won the race to sign Henry Onyekuru from Eupen, and if the news is true it would be the best piece of business Hammers boss Slaven Bilic has done in quite some time.
Last summer was supposed to see a number of quality additions arrive at the London Stadium to supplement the likes of Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini. Instead West Ham fans watched bemused as the likes of Simone Zaza, Havard Nordtveit, Alvaro Arbeloa and Jonathan Calleri turned up.
It was not the impressive transfer window the Hammers faithful were expecting, nor anything close to the previous summer, when Bilic most certainly got it right.
However, if West Ham do indeed bring Onyekuru to the club it would be a very encouraging sign for the rest of the window.
After all, the 19-year-old is one of the most exciting teenagers in European football right now, scoring 22 goals and providing nine assists in 40 matches for his current club this season. article continues below
Predominantly a left winger but also able to operate on the opposite flank, as a secondary striker or a centre forward, the young Nigerian is the real deal, and his early arrival would lay down a marker for the signings to come.
He may not be the biggest name yet he has bags of potential, and the great and the good of football will know that.
It is time Bilic started building a side that can be successful for years to come, and Onyekuru's capture could be key to that endeavor.
Awoniyi? Ok now that's funny. I agree that Onyekuru is presently better than Oshimen. I mean Oshimen is playing for a mid table team in Germany where Leipzig is about to place second but this lad was wanted by perennial scotish champions, CELTIC!!! however I disagree that Awoniyi has been in better form than Oshimen
When I mean form, I also mean game time, clearly oshimen has been on and off due to injury, and not quite long ago he made his senior appearance and haven't scored any, if ever he will cos d season is over, but Awo has bagged 3 goals n last 3matches for club, based on form Awo shld be ahead thats it. But I guessed oshimen is more hyped than Awo thats just it.

Bro U just said it all and u r right, westham is not an ideal place for him to go, let him wait for Everton deal to mature.

Oga, that list was released almost a week ago, and as at then Awoniyi had ZERO goals. So he wasn't in better form as at then

IMO west ham is the best option because he will be sure of playing time. Koeman and Henry is a fight waiting to happen just ask Ross.

My only question is the same that was asked about Neymar before he went to barca. Can he produce when he is not the main man on his team?
Osimhen on and off due to Injury?? Wetin you mean by on and off? Osimhen just played his first bundesliga game last week or so and was very impressive for the 39mins+ that he featured.
Lad was injured and that alone delayed his debut for Wolfsburg. So I don't get this your on-and-off song....
Plsss let us be fair abeg. And as for Awo.... boyyy! I am happy lad is scoring goals again.... I am one of those on this thrrad who have never given up on Awoniyi but you saying he is in better form than Osimhen is laughable because he just started scoring not up to two weeks ago and Osimhen was already invited even before Awo's first goal..... and the list for Corsica friendly was already drawn up by Rohr before release.
So you wanna rush Awo too into the national team?? Is this how Reactionary some of you guys are?? Haba!!!
You react easily to one or two goals? Leave Awo to settle in and work his way into that fine consistent scoring talent that we know he is.... na wa oooo.
I have explained why Osimhen keeps getting his call-up. Lad is something very special and Rohr knows what he is doing with the lad.
When I mean form, I also mean game time, clearly oshimen has been on and off due to injury, and not quite long ago he made his senior appearance and haven't scored any, if ever he will cos d season is over, but Awo has bagged 3 goals n last 3matches for club, based on form Awo shld be ahead thats it. But I guessed oshimen is more hyped than Awo thats just it.
youngestgrad: All this hype about Henry onyekuru, let's see him first play for the super eagles.Club football is different from national team,I still prefer iwobi-iheanacho-v Moses combination. tried and trusted
are you saying the boy does not merit his call up or his invitation was hoax? your assertion about difference between club football and national team play does not follow the Belgian league is one of the best league in the world for developing players...and here a Nigerian scoring almost in every match... you saying we should not hype and give him the attention he deserves....
I am even saying the boy is not being hyped enough
Hmmmm..... this your question.... Hmmmm... well, in the Super Eagles, he will be expected to play with the others who are also the stars of the team like Iheanacho, Mikel, Victor Moses, Iwobi, Etebo and co.... so time will tell.
I hope Henry blends in shaa and work in beautiful tandem with the other players but we would love to see him go on a few of those mazy runs too for results sake... and I pray they pay off.
We gotta have more daring dynamism mehn.... another weapon to unleash in tight corners.
But bottomline.... I hope like Neymar at Barca, he learns to play with his Eagles teammates and balance out when he goes solo and when he links up with his mates.

How many games did oshimen play for wolvesburg before being invited?, Awo has been playing but the goals wasn't coming, he has also been assisting, oshimen call up is not justified abeg. Saying that the coach sees potential in him is not tangible
I get your points..... but you must know that Henry is a little different from the typical wingers we parade in Simon Moses and Ahmed Musa.
Henry is a bona fide Wing forward with goals in his tank. His end result is quite impressive for one so young and playing his first professional topflight football after his first season in the Belgian second division with same club the season before.
And yes... the issue of Slot.... well.... I have already talked on that before as regards why Osimhen merits his call. If you were here several pages back, you will know my stand on Osimhen. Osimhen is highly gifted and not your everyday kinda 9 who just pops up... lad is genuinely special and Rohr is no fool to keep calling him to camp to keep giving him that senior team exposure so as to get acclimatised to the pressures and feels of Senior team football when his super talents are ready to be unleashed for the Eagles (only when Rohr says he is ready).
So In all, I get your points but I also wish you can try spot the difference(s) between Henry and the likes of Simon and Musa. He is kinda different compared to them and I hope he proves his call right as time goes on in the national team.
And about Belgium being backwaters.... well.... all I gotta say is, same league produced Ndidi who has taken the EPL by storm.... same league also produced Leon Bailey who is doing his thing for Bayer Leverkusen.
Same league produced Courtois who went on to do great things for Atletico madrid before he came to displace Cech at Chelsea.
Don't underrate the quality that comes out season after season from Belgium. It is a good league... not among the top 7 in Europe but definitely a good league.

I have already explained many pages back.... so if you have been following you will know already.
And if you choose to disagree... well that is up to you... after all, you certainly don't know more than Gernot Rohr when it comes to spotting National team materials.
And which goals have Awo been assisting?? If Awo had an assist do you think we wouldn't have reported it?? We have been following Awo Oga... so don't argue blindly just to make a lame case for Awo.
Leave Awoniyi alone and let him settle... Dude will be another huge striking option for us in the near future if he keeps up his return to form and his re-explosion.
You have forgotten that same Awo was even outshone and outclassed by his junior Osimhen at the U-23 Afcon before the Olympics.
Osimhen is something very special... and Rohr testifies to it and is certainly no fool for inviting him despite Osimhen's recent return from injury. So live with it. Unless you know more than Rohr himself.
You still haven't explained what made oshimen special to be invited, from your point of view it is simply favoritism or overhyped.

Awoniyi had Zero goals, zero assists before the list was released
I once dropped a report from the foreign media about a speculation linking Klopp to Awaziem.... well, this doesn't still concretize anything though.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awaziem Spotted With Liverpool Scout After Scoring For Porto Against Sunderland In Cup Final
FC Porto Nigerian defender Chidozie Awaziem was spotted in the company of a scout from Liverpool after their 5 – 0 win over Sunderland in the International Premier League Cup.
Awaziem nodded home the fifth goal for Porto in their big win at the stadium of light, but shortly after the game he was spotted with a scout from Liverpool. A team he was linked with recently.
Liverpool are reportedly keeping close watch on the 20 year old defender, who is a senior international for Nigeria owing to his meteoric rise to the first team of Porto in just 18 months.
Although he has failed to add to the 10 league appearances he made for the first team last season, Awaziem has played 35 games for the B team who are campaigning in the second division in Portugal.
He has a buy out clause of €20m inserted the contract extension he signed with FC Porto last season after making his breakthrough.
Kpom! Word on the street was that Bilic didn't knew how to deploy Victor Moses when he went on loan there. I just don't want a coach who would stunt his development.
I think he would get playing time at Everton if Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku leave at the end of the season, as being rumored.
In addition, the primary reason why I want him to make Everton his first choice, Koeman has demonstrated (at Sothhampton and Everton) that he knows how to develop young players....turn average players into very good ones. Not all coaches can do that.
And by the way, wetin happen btw Koeman and Barkley? Do you wanna share?
