Benjamin Frederick wins Brentford's U21 Players' player of the season 24/25.
If he doesn't get drafted into the 1st team at Brentford next season, I hope they at least loan him out to a place where he would feature week in week out.

He should try and find his way to the Italian Seria A. More visibility for him and higher chances of national team selection.

I hope it's not because of medical issues. Hoping he gets a decent club to sign him at this point

Juventus are reportedly ready to table €80 million to acquire Victor Osimhen's services, but I'm seeing another news that De Laurentis is saying he'll accept nothing less than €100 million from them.

This man na weapon fashioned against Osimhen?

If Osimhen doesn't move this season, would he become a free agent in 2026?

If he goes to saudi arsbis. The deal should be that after one season he will be a free agent. That means napoli manager gets his money while after a season he is available for free.

2. I suggest the nff president or some top football personalities should wade into the matter and try and talk to the napoli manager. Thr man is stubborn and has a serious ego

You guys are forgetting that Osimhen signed a contract extension, reducing his Transfer fee to €75M
Nothing more De Laurentis can do

If you’re osihmen will you allow yourself to be underpaid ? You guys are just hyping these European clubs, make osihmen go break leg for salary that those who aren’t better than him are earning far more, na wa o

Unfortunately you don't get to set your wages and valuation by yourself 😕 you get what clubs value to be.

Underpaid is a opinionated deduction some may think 🤔 he is over paid.

He who has the drums 🥁🪘 determine the beat. The club's have the money 💰 and they will decide what value to put in you .

Football ⚽ is not 🚫 fair and we think he is the best striker in the world 🌎 but most clubs do not, that's the reality.

Contracts aren't always straightforward. The 75M clause may only apply to clubs outside of Italy. There could be a clause requiring Seria A team to pay significantly higher.

In other news, Conte will quit Napoli after the last game and has agreed to return to Juventus. I believe Conte has nothing against Osimhen, but can they work together if the information about both going to Juventus is true?

Correct. He can only frustrate Italian clubs because the release clause excludes them. Any team outside italy that meets the €75M release clause and agrees on personal with Osimhen can sign him.

Well, you're right..
Good point

Overall decent lists for The Unity Cup, and Russia friendly
Would really love to take a good look at Uche, Felix Agu and Ogoh Igbu..

Russia
Very weak defense again
Only one left back
What of the Porto left back
I guess Fulham boys are busy
Southampton boys can’t make this list so I understand
I guess Olisa Ndah is not fit or available
Is Bright Samuel good enough, Zimbabwe wanted to destroy him that day
Oh well good luck to Chelle, happy experimenting
Surprised Nwabali makes first list but not second list
yinkeys(m): 7:19pm On May 21
Pacy Ejuke ?
Ndah ?
Zaidu ?
Dessers ?

I need answers guys
Surprised Iheanacho, Osayi Samuel, Musa & Ajayi are on the list tbh
Maybe this is trials

Anyway sha
Congrats to South Africa on their WCQ, looks like nepotism is the order of the day in Nigeria
These NFF people think getting a win on South African turf isn’t a Herculean task, it will be vivid on match day September. South African players that have team chemistry checked already. The only way to luckily beat them is by fielding the best legs in the country & hope for individual brilliance or magic on that day. But with the type of decisions NFF make it’s obvious they’re not serious. So Iheanacho deserved call up ahead of Ejuke & Dessers lol
My mind is no longer in 2026, till 2030
I just feel for Osimhen, Lookman, Aina. Politicking instead of merit is what NFF love to do
They’re already showing me signs they’re preparing to fail in September
So they drafted in Onyeka & Uche in this time around, jokers

AKA Redemption list.

Let's just get additions to prosecute AFCON and the WCQ(I still have hope for it)
Based on merit, Ejuke & Dessers should be ahead of Iheanacho but because na padi padi dey go on for Nigeria
Iheanacho has served Nigeria but his form dropped badly lately
He probably lost his pace too that’s why he couldn’t deliver in la liga

Don’t know why they don’t like to balance the lists most of the time
They’re fond of packing forwards, heavy up top with only one left back etc
Coach will go use Aina in left back again instead of playing him at his best position
Find a suitable left back and experiment with him instead
Should be 2 or 3 strikers max

It’s obvious dis coaches no rate dis ejuke guy ot only chelle ,even our local coaches


What I am baffled about is d exclusion of chuba akpom,at least he suppose to make dt unity cup list ..we need to look at dt guys clearance stuff,if truly he has been cleared to play for us

IMO na Osimhen use hin hand sign him bad luck
He said on his social profile that nobody should advise him when Napoli won the league, na wetin dey him mind him go do
Like say he don dey dis world before many people wey senior am well well
He obviously doesn’t know the dark brutal side of business
He went to sign extension with man wey be like person wey get Italian mafia connections lol
When he would have left like Mbappe as a free agent last season
I wish him goodluck though

But Dessers is in the list for Unity Cup. So what's the issue. That's more games than the friendly with Russia.
I'm also not pleased with Iheanacho being in there over Ejuke.

Nothing in that list says Bruno won't play LB while Aina RB. Abi you de see future ni? Also it is 3 ST we have in the Russian fixture na. I don't regard Iheanacho as a ST.

That list is balanced joor

All those defenders in the first unity list better prove their worth
Because we will need a few of them because I think the Russia defense list is weak
People still rating Boniface lol
Na individual brilliance go help nigerIa not Leverkusen structure
I guess I skimmed through the list once, didn’t know dessers is there
yinkeys(m): 8:09pm On May 21
It seems Akpoguma is blacklisted by NFF grin
Boy probably don go talk sheeeet & dem no like am , especially when you’re not Osimhen lol

My money is on star boy Uche to perform magic for Nigeria
