With the likes of Santa Clara's Zaidu Sanusi coming through and already on Rohr's radar (He and Rohr have spoken) and with Aina in the picture as well, Collins' spot as LB is no longer guaranteed. A return to bundesliga.2 will be of no help for sure unless he can perhaps secure a move to another Bundesliga side or maybe outside Germany.

Generally speaking, Napoli is a good step up for Osimhen.
Now, I am still studying Gattuso's philosophy as a coach but I am liking what he's showing recently with this Napoli team and how he has moulded them into a pretty tough unit of players hard to outwit tactically.
Additionally, Gattuso love fighters and Osimhen is one. I think things could go well for the lad in Naples both developmentally and more.

Blueelf:


Do you think Napoli is a good club for Osimhen's development? May I know your honest opinion on he matter?

Oga na step down abeg

Upon all the noise and the potential about dessers na genk e wan join? odey didnt do much to get a move to genk, let alone someone who is the top scorer in the dutch league and he is already 25 for that matter

Lol you said if its because of onauchu, when both of them are naija players? you think i am the type who pick a favorite player i prefer?

Go and check where most of the top scorers in the dutch league ended up

How is moving from Heracles to Genk a step down?

Exactly....I was hoping Ajax would finally look his way seeing that he is young and has great potential and would fit into their pattern.

And i don't really think Turkey is a good idea. France would be nice...but its his choice at the end of the day sha

He's is 25 and had one good season it is still a risk for a top club to come for him

I repeat it’s a step down

You think it’s all about genk being a bigger club than Heracles ?

Now for example imagine a player moving from Everton to olympiakos is that not a step down ?

As far as world football is concerned olympiakos is a bigger bigger club than Everton but it’s a step down

Una go use European football cover am up saying it’s a good move

Kelechi nwakali saw 8min of game time in laliga 2 and una no go allow person hear word. @supernerd i doubt if you have seen igbekeme play and if you have you will never compare his style of play to that of etebo.

James have been one of zaragoza's best player since he joined and for that was rewarded with a new contract few days ago.

And who told you rohr is so keen on kelechi nwakali? Dude have to get back to his best and hopefully mk the leap with huesca to laliga before such will happen.

A player like azeez did it consistently in the spanish 2nd tier but never got a look in until he returned to laliga with garanada and immediately was recalled to the team.

Kelechi nwakali still have a lot to do but to he honest he is on the right path. He is one player i had alot of high hopes on and wish he will turn his career.
.

No young player has been scrutinized as much as Kelechi. U people complained about everything the boy did but now u are angry that people are talking about him in a positive light. Why didn't you complain when he was bashed for simply coming to represent theU23s and got stuck in the country? When people claimed he wasn't growing because of his lifestyle why didn't you say something then?

Heracles are a midtable team in the Dutch league while Genk is Belgian league Champions and playing in the Champions league for a couple of years now

So tell me, how is it a step down?

Of all the clubs Osimhen could have stepped up to, Napoli is the best to move to.

1. They are an 'almost big' club. This means they are a big club but not World class like Juve, Inter or Milan. So there would not be too much pressure on him to quickly perform.

2. Napoli average the highest possession in Italy with 57.24%. This means they are always guaranteed to be in the front foot. In comparison, Lille averaged 51.7%, while Real Madrid 56.5%

3. Napoli average the third most shots attempts per game in the whole of Europe. Only behind Atalanta and Mancity. This means not only do they keep the ball, they are attack minded.

4. Napoli have the 5th best passing accuracy in the whole of Europe, only behind Juventus, Man City, PSG and Barcelona. This means that Osimhen is guaranteed quality service from teammate.

5. They stick to their system. Sarri, Ancelotti and Gattuso have managed Napoli, yet for they last 3 system, they've stuck to this system.

6. Napoli are renowned for producing proven goalscorers. Hamsik, Maradona, Higuain and Cavani have graced the club. So Osimhen is promised stardom.

That was why I made this statement when I learnt of the move.

This is one of the best move for a Nigerian in years.

Dessers Keen On Genk Move




Cyriel Dessers has sets his sights on a move to Belgian Pro League club KRC Genk this summer, reports Completesports.com.

Dessers is expected to leave Eredivisie club Heracles Almelo this summer with Belgian clubs, Genk, Antwerp and Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray among his suitors.

The Nigeria international, who was born in Limburg, Belgium once had stint with Lokeren in the Belgian top flight.

According to soccernews.nl, the 25-year-old is keen on a return to Belgium with Genk his preffered destination.


Genk are already in talks with Heracles, who have demanded €5m for the striker.

Dessers linked up with Heracles from another Eredivisie club FC Utrecht last summer.

The former NAC Breda star scored 18 goals and registered six goals in 29 appearances for Heracles.

He was top scorer in the Eredivisie along with Feyenoord’s Steven Berghius.

Try and understand what I am saying

Maybe if iwobi leaves Everton for olympiakos you will also say it’s an upgrade

With being the top scorer in holland na genk be the reward ?

What happen to mid table teams in England Spain Italy ? Or even a top 10 team in the French league ?

Osimhen might really shock a lot of people and buhari
There's literally no reason for him not to take Seria A by storm if he is given game time

Stats attack: Bukayo Saka.


Saka's assist today was his 11th assist in all competitions for 2019/2020 season. The most assists of any Arsenal player this season.

Only KDB (18 assists), Trent A. Arnold (14 assists), and Mahrez (12 assists) have more assists than Saka in all competitions among EPL players for 2019/2020.

Left back at the U-23 Afcon, Stephen Godfrey Bitok starts as usual for his side Isloch in the Belarussian Top flight (called the Vysshaya Liga) vs Torpedo. 33mins already played.

He boasts 1 goal in 12 league apps from his LB position.

Lille na business people so you no go blame them okay

If you are good you are good jare

How much bvb buy Dembélé and how much dem sell am ?

All clubs wanna make money from their most valuable players

Osimhen won't be be sold for €60m...
If Lille really want to sell him, they will have to lower their price..

A lot of clubs are going to cut their spending this transfer window due to coronavirus...

And let's be honest,Osimhen's stats aren't exactly spectacular enough for him to be worth that much...

30m-40m will be reasonable enough..
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 4:46pm On Jun 20, 2020

He got red carded today.
