No harm in getting an upgrade at LB and LWB. Saka brings that upgrade. Also a quality cover for the ultra-competitive LW role.

No harm in talking about him or looking to begin his switch process to play for us.

Its obvious na bro..we re lacking talents in LB position..saka can easily play dere and if rohr feels his service is needed upfront ,he can also play d LW comfortably like he did previously in arsenal b4 he was deployed as LB

And finally chukwueze also need some competition too..he can as well play d RW role too cool

Osimhen returns from the injury scare and Starts

Victor Osimhen starts upfront alongside Loic Remy for Lille in their Ligue 1 game vs Olympique Marseille.

Game kicks off in 38mins.


I consider this a news because of the injury scare you mentioned grin

It’s almost impossible for this dude not to start

thank you oo,I was in a viewing center few minute ago,one man just started insulting rohr for not calling saka for our last match, claiming saka begged Nigeria so he could feature 4 us,as soon as he said that,everyone in the viewing center backed him up.

Well I countered him and made him understand that saka needs to do change of allegiance first before he can feature 4 us,that was how they came 4 my head,won ni kin mori wa kin forun le.They said the only thing saka needs is 'a callup'.

Oya go and retrive the head and neck you left at the viewing centre.

If we can nudge him our way, why not??

Do you know England tried to get Iwobi and Zaha after they committed to Nigeria and Ivory Coast respectively?

Yea, Nigeria will win games but i want Nigeria to have a team capable of competing with the world's best.

I think Giannis had already started helping us recruit by selecting him on his all-star team on the ground of him being African.

The pro is that he will have a team built around him but the con is that being on the USA is really important to players. All I can say is that it never hurts to try. They should at least ask him and see what he says

I just read that his mom who was there for him isn't Nigerian and his father was not in his life at all. We can still try though after all its better to try and fail than to fail to try. Idris Adefemi (Bam) Adebayo even has the yoruba actors name. Meanwhile what about semilore? Can't remember his last name.

So good in fact that anyone saying we are (over-)hyping him will be seen as talking super mega nonsense from now on.

He would have bagged an assist too for Remy's goal but it was ruled out for offside by a small margin.

Lille lost 2-1 as Marseille occupying second behind PSG no be beans team but Lille stay in Fourth and have Toulouse next. A very winnable game at home next weekend.

Despite being on the losing side, Osimhen was undoubtedly among the very top performers today again! Top lad!

13 Ligue 1 goals.... 18 goals and 4 assists in all comps this season. Osimhen is indeed the realest deal! This summer is gonna be huge for Naija lads. I keep saying this. cool

On the "working on Saka's switch" matter... Be rest assured Pinnick knows this lad and have spoken about him before. I am sure this is a keen reminder. Get us Saka!!!!

anytime I hear or read that "osihmen scored" I always make sure I watch the match highlights. Let me quickly go and watch the match highlights .

Modified: Osihmen as a very good positioning, not scared to take on defenders, he always wants to hold the ball and his finishing was world class.
Why his he not rated with the level j.sancho, And E. Haaland are been highly rated by the sports media?
