[@glidinggolovinn]

no pundit on espn is impressive unless you're american and not advanced at recognising facts about football isn't inherently good knowledge for absorbing football. if i asked you to define why golovin is an elite tier AM in the history of football, none of you would have a valid theory or argument for why, because you don't have that depth. the same applies to this colins fella

[@albertomessi5156]

The guy said he doesn’t want to see osimhen in United because they are not currently the team to join but Chelsea because they have the magically abilities to make Nigerian players better. In what sense of logic is that when both clubs/players are getting road handled entirely. He just knows AFCON

Worse still was that lkpebas PK was an actual goal after replay was shown. Today's VAR would have called that penalty on Nigeria's side easily. Then in 88,another Nigeria's goal was cancelled for Cameroon to win.

[@hafriz8746]

[@grishawinner6727]

I’m a Man U fan but I’m objective about this. If Victor comes to the PL, the order of teams he should consider is 1. Liverpool 2. Arsenal 3. Man Utd 4. Chelsea 5. Spurs. All these teams need a center forward of that caliber but which teams could he realistically win something big with currently? I ranked them in that order.

[@JFP1988]

I agree but I don't see Liverpool going after him, they have Salah and Nunez. Then again Arsenal are notoriously poor in European competitions. They just lost last night to Porto. But I think he'd be wasted at United right now, it'll destroy his career. He'll probably struggle to score and we'll end up hating him and he'll lose his credibility and value. Better at Arsenal or Liverpool, Liverpool is the best bet if they'll have him as you said. Chelsea probably don't have the budget and they're going nowhere right now, and Tottenham are never gonna win a trophy so would be even worse there than at United and Chelsea. I completely agree with your order.

[@Stories10190]

Oshimen needs to improve on his positioning without the ball. His finishing and his shooting. He does have a lot of upside. But he’s a gamble

[@nwoyejohn9720]

[@emmanuelumoren5230]

Colin is spot on with Manchester United being wrong for player growth. No African player has excelled there.

[@JFP1988]

As a United fan I'm afraid I have to agree. I hate seeing players like Osimhen going to my club, it destroys their career. Look at Sancho and Pogba (as much as I dislike him). Plenty of others with the same story. They go there brimming with talent, end up underperforming and losing their shine and value. I would hate to see that happen to Osimhen, as much as I would love us to have him. I think on problem is that we expect too much from our players, because we were once such a dominant club we've become entitled and have little patience for mistakes, but even the best players need time to adapt. Especially when coming from another league.

[@Ruscococo1]

The only good season he has had was last year at Napoli, this year he has been below average. At Lille he was average and at Wolfsburg he was so poor. Charloi he did well but that is midtable in Belgium....For 100 million he is not worth that.

Aren't they also under investigation for breaking the rules right now? Who knows how it will impact them, best to steer clear of Chelsea. Arsenal, Liverpool or United are his best bets. Liverpool have enough forwards though and they have Salah.

The best destination to land Kylian Mbappe and that can fully pay his bonuses and wages is Chelsea FC. To widen the salary cap of the club, Chelsea FC Management and people on their team involved in the transfer-market must permanently sell, do not offer loan with buy back clause, do not renew the contract, recall or return the players who are currently on loan from another club and playing in Chelsea FC, to those ageing (28 years old and above), inconsistent (limited playing time, have not played, unable to perform well), injury-prone, include as well the remaining UEFA Champions League winner of 2020/2021 season players ON OR BEFORE SUMMER of JUNE 2026 namely Silva (39), Bettinelli (31), Lukaku (30), Ziyech (30), Arrizabalaga (29), Sterling (29), Chilwell (27), Disasi (25), Sarr (25), Cucurella (25), Chalobah (24), James (24), Badiashile (22), Jackson (22), Broja (22), Datro Fofana (21), Madueke (21), Maatsen (21), Chukwuemeka (20), Ugochukwu (19), Slonina (19), Angelo (19), Washington (18). Then promote the Chelsea FC Academy players between the age of 18 to 19 years old, then do not buy players after 4 years which is a sacrifice but retain the players like Nkunku, Latvia, Fernandez, Caicedo, Gusto, Santos, Mudryk, GilChrist, Fofana, Colwill, Bergstrom, Petrovic, Gallagher, Palmer,

Personally I am not convinced Oshimen is an elite striker he has only had 1 high scoring season in his career and that is in Serie A, that exaggerates the quality of athletic players because Italian players in general are not athletic. He has said Chelsea is his dream move because he was a Chelsea fan growing up and Drogba was his idol, but he could become another Lukaku, a Chelsea fan with Drogba as his idol who flops at Chelsea. I think he is another overpriced Serie A player who flop outside of Italy.
