Moses Simon has joined Nantes on loan for one year with option to purchase. He will be in France today for medical test and if he passes, the deal will be finalized.

Very good transfer window for our players. One of the best actually if I can recall.

Joebie:
komekn sef.. some players are more popular and fan favorites.. not everyone can reason the same way.

I believe d comparison to drogba was due to how well he took down d ball with his chest... A trademark control style of drogba's.... Let ppl continue to hate wat they dont like.... Emotive bias nd prejudice ...

I have been really busy my good man Charles.... But a happy Birthday to thee in arrears. Your contributions here are well appreciated and I celebrate thee. Welcomr to your new year.

Please let me embolden the question for you. Just look at Komekn now making a case for Okereke as if he had always known the lad or rated him. All this just to get at Osimhen. He preaches up a non-existent conspiracy theory of bias just to create an okereke camp and Osimhen camp against each other here. Komekn... Your plans are dead on arrival lol...

Okereke and Osimhen are part of our golden boys and key pieces of our new dawn era. Both are well celebrated here. In fact this season was kicked off by the David Okereke show in Belgium before Osimhen's kick off in France. All this talk of Okereke being ignored bla bla bla just to create a divisive wedge is nonsense. Didn't Rohr talk him up and invite him even before his Belgian league move? Please u guys should not fall for komekn's antics. It is always nauseating.

charlesemeka85:
Agreed on the points u made except the bolded. Okereke did well in serie B last term which attracted the u23 handlers to give him a call up but if Rohr tried to invite him first prior to the u23 invite won't u guys gather in abuja to lynch the old man with the notion that he invited a serie b player when players like onuachu and awoniyi were banging in goals week in week out?

Joebie:
I will never fault Collin's invitation. We have been looking for a left back for years, not even one of us here could even recommend an inform natural left back.

Actually at the time I brought into the discussion The inclusion of Seyi Ojo.

Who has played left wing and left sided midfield with defensive responsibility for Liverpool and on loan at several Championship teams.

In modern football the Wing Back has evolved from the restricted Full back of yester years. Essentially this position us defensive but more attack based. This means that wingers will depending on the team flirt with both position. That's why Aina played on the wing several times for Hill in the Championship.

Seyi Ojo has the most important attribute for that position PACE but with added technicality and as you can imagine he can cross the ball something we lacked so obviously.

Is Sanusi Ibrahim 19 or 17?

When did they make him 17? News reports last season were telling us he was 19.

Oh well, at least he is 'young' . 19 is most likely his real age

That story is fake. Sanusi is with the U23

That komekn boy is evil, I thought I was the only one who saw the devilish foundation he was laying. The boy has discovered that using the Borough boys ain't working, now he has resorted to divisive mechanism. He has no shame. He feigns being a fan of Onuachu and Okereke just to spite his nightmare(Osimhen) bkus the boy has put him to shame.


Okereke is our boy, Osimhen is our boy too, I will choose either of the two any day ahead of Tammy Abraham, Solanke, Ibe, Ojo, et al. U dis little boy called komekn, don't forget, Okereke is one of those so called "Pretenders".

Rohr not playing Onyekuru at the Afcon has been a blessing in disguise

If he got the expected no of games he would still be at Galatasaray

Cc Forgiveness

Don't justify ineptness. His performance in the Turkish league earned him this move to Monaco and due to the fact that his parent club is an EPL team.

I believe d comparison to drogba was due to how well he took down d ball with his chest... A trademark control style of drogba's.... Let ppl continue to hate wat they dont like.... Emotive bias nd prejudice ...

Let me bury this Osimhen-Drogba talk once and for all....


Osimhen's comparison to Drogba began from the U-17 level. He was known as "Little Drogba" for his all-action workaholic style akin to the legendary Didier Drogba.

Goal even wrote an article in 2016 in the aftermath of the U-17 WC and U-23 Afcon with the tag "the new Drogba". In same Article, Odion Ighalo then at Watford was quoted as indirectly anointing Osimhen as his long term successor. His quote is seen in the pic below....

Also Drogba is Osimhen's biggest role model. He has always been inspired by Drogba.

Several articles like the ones below show this.....

https://www.espn.co.uk/football/blog-football-nigeria/story/2686372/nigeria-u17-striker-victor-osimhen-didier-drogba-my-idol

https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/osimhen-drogba-inspires-me/amp/

Also even Drogba himself commended and endorsed Osimhen...

https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.pulse.ng/sports/football/victor-osimhen-didier-drogba-acknowledges-golden-eaglets-striker-as-he-equals-world/38gkhbm.amp

But the real deal point remains that Osimhen's all action style is akin to Drogba.... An all-action powerful running and menacing striker who uses speed, power, control, grit and directness to get the Job done. He holds up play pretty decently and can only get better at it... Drogba was a god at that. Also, both strive on being direct and utilising the "in your face" approach. He still needs to step up in his contribution to build up plays but he will surely learn and mature.

Also like Drogba, Osimhen offers decently on the defensive side too.

In all, this is just the beginning. He is not there yet.... But the lad is on his way. So those calling him a younger version of Drogba due to certain attributes are not wrong at all.

Joebie:
You went too far mentioning Brazil. We will struggle against average European sides.

Just like the way we struggled against Iceland. Joebie and sentiments.

Lucque:

Bros okereke was not d one dat scored 10goals in d u17 world cup... Nd den seemed like his career was going to waste wen he suffered travails at wolfsburg... Okereke was not d one who some ppl here called wasteman... Okereke was not d one we all feared myt not live up to our hopes of being d new heir to d SE number 9 jersey.... Pls forgive us if osimhen gets more honorary mentions for his performance on his debut ( dat some ppl here have not been able to compliment because of d shame of eating their words about d lad... They know demselves). The fact dat we mention okereke with hushed breathing is gud for d lad... Dat will lower d pressure on him... nd pls i think we all have d ryt to our preferences.. so lets not make it seem like we are one unbiased group of analysts.... Cos we aint...

That proposition in bold is the anchor of favoritism and sentiment based preference. You have indicted yourself before the players has proven himself you have already earmarked him for glory and umerited selection.

Then you confirm your bigotry and double standard. It was OK to give umerited accolades to Osimhen but not Ok for justifiable accolades to Okereke. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander".

For those with a bit more football understanding know that youth football is only indicative but far from conclusive.

Everything in football is short term. To be underpin the inclusion of a striker on the basis of youthful glories of two years priory is ill advised at best at worst ludicrous. However , if you are Superdelusuional then it make sense to your befuddled mind that is unable to decipher between fantasy and objective reality. But to any other person with a balanced mind recognises such sentiments as futile in determining quality.

We are currently doing the same thing with KC for the past three seasons his last season at City was poor. We still keep looking at him instead of looking for players currently perfoming.

When a player is not perfoming we simply put him to one side pending when he will start to perform and look for those that are currently performing.

One season doesn't make a player it takes a few seasons to get consistency.

I saw Gamaliel9's post. He asked a question yes... But only Komekn took it up and produced a pot of conspiracy stew with it and served it as fact. Ridiculous of the man!

Rohr is a man of his words

At least 2 of our GKs were forced on him

Including Shehu and Moses Simon to the AFCON.

Forget it, he's not 100% in charge of selection.

Shehu now plays in the Turkish second division, lets see how Rohr reacts to that when we Ebuehi with Benfica, Ehizibue in the Bundesliga, Aina in the Serie A and Yem with Gent in the jupiler league.

Face d ppl dat have ur time... Goodday

Okereke is a gud player.. he will definitely come gud... Osimhen too.. he is at d peak of our discussion for a reason... We have been waiting for his explosionul unto d big stage for almost 3years.... Mbappe nd dembele are both french youngsters... but m sure we hear more of mbappe from all d media articles... Is dat prejudice or emotive bias?...

Joebie:
At least one can say they prefer a player, but still agree that the other player is better.
I don't want to compare both players too early. I am just looking forward to both players leading our attack someday. Hopefully they get to where I want them to be. We want to see our forwards scoring over 20 goals in a season.

I swear, I want to see our players moving for over 50mill them Auba Sala Mane etc no get two heads na

In most things I do I try to be objective.

First of all, what in your understanding is downgrading a player ❓ Because I don't join the same train euphoric praise for a player doesn't mean HATE or DOWNGRADE. Give me one not two instancees where l down graded Osimhen.

Osimhen has done excellently well but he has just played his first season of professional football. That's perspective. He is on a forward progression hopefully it will continue.

Second presumption without substance. Favourite players, talking about a player doesn't make him.your favourite. I talk about KC but he not my favourite player. Solanke is a distraction to this discussion l have met him several times and said he has no affinity to Nigeria in any way essentially he's Oyibo. Where When did l PERSONALLY call him exceptional ❓

Onyedinma l haven't talked about him for some two seasons as a quality prospect. He made some very unwise decision and his career has lost traction. Another misinformation.


Ojo I know and talked about him being an option for the LWB because we didn't have one. Good quality players but Exceptional not yet. Where did l say excellent exceptional ❓ more unfounded assumptions.

Iorfa I have given a history lesson several times and stated the issue of UNFAIR practice by the NFF and huge amounts of misinformation and untruthful storie. I have said he was regarded as exceptional in his team and with England. I know of him and know his agent and former club quite ( Wolves) I dint think l have called him EXCEPTIONAL EXCELLENT TALENT. I have been critical saying I think he lacks technical ability and intelligence. But pace aerial dominance strength and doggednes a big YES, l think he will become he has the potential to become a quality CB if he evolves.

Not too long ago well 2917/18 season l said that Fikayo Tomori is poor. Well one season later he has turned it all around to be an excellent CB. I said this month's ago he us the best CB we have yet to be capped. That's becoming a possibility he us now on the bench for Chelsea.

I had heard of him in Seria B. I know Nigerian Origin players who left England to play in Seria B, So don't presume.


Your final statement concerning Osimhen and Okereke is plain bigotry and biased standard. When Osimhen did well in Belguim it was a unit of measurement. However now that Okereke is doing it, it's no longer relevant that's blatant hypocrisy.

Okereke has been on the scene but ignored.

Finally, please let's not use the name if God in vain the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom.

The season just began and so far, Okereke has done well but is yet to achieve what Osimhen achieved last season, and has even gone further


Therefore, it's reasonable to rate him highly than Okereke who is just playing for the first time in a top league.

ChrisKels:

Story story.... u don't like Osimhen period!

The guy has been in the limelight since that u-17 world cup! Okereke at that time wasn't known . That only gives Osimhen an edge over him in terms of popularity...


All ur boys are championship and league 1 materials... they haven't proved themselves at a higher level and thus have nothing on the likes of Osimhen, Iheanacho etc that u continually try to downgrade!
