Just over a year ago he was officially voted best player in the world. How much different can he be now?

The decline comes quick when it does come and he was on the decline in 22-23 itself.

I think 36 is too old for a PL striker. For all the experience and finishing he brings, it cannot come at the cost of movement and pressing. I’d rather go with a striker in their prime.

Smart to tap into Drogba and Mikel to convince Osimhen. Still depends on the competition to sign him but thankfully Bayern, Real, City, PSG don’t need strikers in the summer.

Comon, lets not act asif we wouldn't take Osimhen here in a heartbeat. The man scores goals. Our players don't.

Jackson would reach Oshimhen tally if he played there. There is absolutely nothing impressive about this guy especially when you hear the price being quoted.

The same has been said about Lukaku by many on this forum in 2021. I am quite content with Jackson as of now, especially with his general play which is far superior to Osimhens.  I think we should give him time until summer, given we also have Nkunku.

Well, his recent numbers are not better than Jackson or Sterling,..

And looking at his goals from last season, do you have the feeling he would score exactly same goals here? I don't really. Definetly would be improvement for Jackson/Broja though, there is no debate in that.

His technical abilities aren't great. Could easily turn into a dud.

It’s still interesting. African teams could compete for the World Cup if the diaspora chose to play for the country of their heritage more often and not as a back up (lesser players like victor moses iwobi etc )

It doesn't mean the graphic is incorrect.  Davis could have also played for Ghana & Mbappe for Algeria.

France's footballing history would look very different if that were the case.

not really, as many players of African descent DO play for African nations despite being born in Europe, etc

so this is just the flipside

plus

Does have good technique and has covered RB before - insurance for James

he was the best RB on the planet before he was switched to DMF/deep lying playmaker

[DDA 10,285]

Spurs have opened talks for Antonio Nusa. Shame as he looks a really good player. Better than Mudryk.
