You didn't see where he said this season


You used the term BY FAR.

In hist first season in French league 1, he has not even played a full season yet has scored 13 goals , there may be an opportunity to score more, but not a lot more if gets to 20 goals when the league restarts and finishes that will be exceptional. But the term BY FAR.

We were talking about this season with Arsenal
Osimhen is statistically doing far better than him this season

Lacazette use that French league play ,only zlatan and Cavani was better than him for the past decade if am not mistaken.

He is also doing well in Arsenal ,he has managed 7 goals in the Epl so far this season with lesser minutes

There are some comparison that doesn’t need to be made abeg

See as Pepe dey do like mumu for Arsenal

Mind you I don’t normally agree with you because you like talking down on others league

But I no too rate that French league abeg

Look at how moses Simon and that Senegalese mbaye Niang found it easy there ,kudos to moses Simon for his hard work thou

If not for the World Cup exploits of Mbappe I would have called him overrated because he hasn’t play in a better league as far as I am concerned ,laliga ,Epl ,bundesliga ,Seria A are the leagues I rate

Hazard laughs in the background

To buttress your point tell me one striker that has left French league and equaled hIs goal tally in the EPL, apart from Drogba who only spent 4 years in the French league and 9 years in the EPL. My view he was made in the EPL but started in the French league.

A new professional Football league to rival NPFL is set to debut in the country, Complete Sports has exclusively gathered.

Baring any last minute hitch, the league will be unveiled in Abuja, on Saturday with a press conference to announce the birth of the first privately owned professional football clubs league in the country.

Complete Sports checks reveal that a maximum of 10 clubs will pioneer the league which is said to have tacitly received the backing of the Youth and Sports Development Minister, Sunday Dare.
If and when eventually started, the League has as N20m star prize for the winner.

Findings revealed that a Chief Executive Officer, CEO, (names withheld) has already been slated for the league with a pool of private football heavyweights in the country said to be involved in the venture.
The league has equally been registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, Abuja.
Already, those who have been working from behind the scene since late last year to midwife the venture are understood to have sealed a TV sponsorship deal which will ensure that the matches are beamed live on the tubes to the sitting homes of the football loving World.

“They have also pulled a N400m take off grant”, an insider hinted Orient Sports on condition of anonymity. “When we start, clubs will get their due share of the funds and the league will be a reference point to others,” he added.

It was also learnt that even though all the participating clubs will be affiliated to the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, just as the matches will also be officiated by the NFF accredited referees.

Ironically, winners of the league will have no stake in flying Nigeria’s flag in the CAF inter club competitions. That (Nigerian representation in CAF inter club competitions) is for the winners of the NPFL and the domestic cup.

One of the major requirements for participation in the Private Clubs League, Complete Sports was told, was that all the clubs must own a private stadium.
Those these clubs have their own standard stadia? Or are they going to be using government owned stadia? Hope the league will be transparent enough to win fans over.

I have no idea where you live, I had presumed that you lived in the UK or at least Europe, with your use of the word "WE" implying some level of acquaintance with Liverpool and or inside knowledge.

Not anymore, I had assumed at one stage TheGoodJoe was in Manchester with his love of Man city and quite extensive knowledge.

It seems my assumption about your residency may be wrong, but my view on Keita remains the same.

That is not a realistic comparison they are two different leagues with different levels of quality.

Look at Pepe and Lacazette and how they dominated the French league 1 for years and have come to the EPL and done very well but struggled to replicate the stats they had in French league 1. Indeed i can not recall any who have from the French league.

The central theme was how well can Osimhen adapt to the EPL playing for Arsenal and if you like thrive and dominate as he has in the French league.

Chief as at 2006.Okocha and Kanu have nothing to offer again and building that Team around the duo was a mistake.

A team captain skipping matches then what do you expect from his teammates.

This was part of the thinking that led to the clamours for inclusion of new players at the detrement of quality and experience.

As at 2005 Okocha and Kanu were still very much in the thick and thin of the game.

Oruma and Obodo that we thought would fit into the shoes of Jay-Jay were not really measuring up to the standards Jay-Jay had set.

Even though Okocha retired after the 2006 AFCON Kanu still went further to play 2 more AFCONS (2008 and 2010).

Well going by the write up , to particate in the league clubs must have their own stadia , it remains to be seen if it will be followed to the letter.
Speaking of winning the fans over , as long as they are serious with the TV deal and fair play , the fans will soon notice them

Not Enyeama's fault but Yobo who got lost the moment Akwa Fabrice received the ball and turned him before volley the ball which would have beat any keeper..

This was the game in Luanda. The game in Kano they scored via a Free kick.

If Osimhen replicates his for Arsenal it will not be unsual because different players from the ligue 1 have done with different epl teams

When you're good you're good, Osimhen literally played in two different leagues in less than two years

He has been dominating so I don't see why the EPL will be any different

Pepe is a winger and cannot be used for the point here and hasn't even adapted to the Premier League and Arsenal so the technical exception that he supposedly has isn't working for him

Osimhen can do what Aubameyang is doing at Arsenal, he has whatever skill is required and this just wait around the box he involves himself in the attacking building up and is actually more than a point man

The modern player has to be adaptable and particularly at Arsenal, technically astute and skillful and as a forward the ability to play on the wings as well.

Lacazette actually started playing as a winger before moving more central, we do not need to talk about the skill set of Aubmyang or Pepe but i would add the Brazilian Martenelli and these guys have outstanding skill and are not slow.

The fact is , some will not like to believe or hear this so sorry to burst the Bubble insane skill, technical ability are not Victors main attributes he is not as good as them that i have mentioned. However, blistering pace and aggression a very big resounding YES.

Will that be enough to claim a regular place as Arsenal number one that is the question. IMO Arsenal do not play with a traditional striker even the Legendary Thierry was more prone to drift to the left as opposed down the center.

We are in transfer period and so what EPL team will suit him best, I would have thought Man U but looking at things i dont think they may require him and you already have Rashford and our man Ighalo. I also think he is still developing and he needs game time to develop. So you would probably look at Mid table teams in the EPL, IMO.

First of which players, lets start from there.

Secondly dominating in one league is not a guarantee you dominate in another whether higher or lower, each league and the clubs in that leage lay emphasis on different attributes.

You want him to join Olympiacos ?

Omo this guy is still 23 and you want make e be journey man already

The Legend status is heavy, but follow Turkish twitter to see how they rate him.

But, in truth, Onyekuru has been involved in the two most recent big events in Galatasaray history, their league win and their first away win against Ferneberche in 21 years.


Watch the video from this link to see how he was utilised in single-handedly destroying Fenerbahce. One goal, One penalty won, MoTM. Look at this off the ball movements.

Oba Hazard

But then again you never know if a player will dominate a league unless they actually feature in the league and the fact Arsenal expressed interest in him shows they actually believe he can adapt to their play
Millik and Mertens are relatively skillful to an extent and Napoli went after a striker that can deliver the same
I don't personally don't think Osimhen lacks in any attribute that is required for him to break into the Arsenal squad

Perception creates Expectations and Expectations not met creates CONFLICT.

Chief,i think that was general belie that Oruma, Obodo even James Obiorah failed to live up-to expectations but forgetting that active Okocha will always getting the starting shirt.

Thank God he retired,player like Mikel would have been a bench warmer( 2006-2010) with Okocha still active.

Pls boss compare Kanu 1996-2006 to 2006-2010 with Super Eagles.

Chief, Kanu has nothing to offer after our failed 2006 World Cup qualifications,my opinion Chief.
