Under Luciano Spalletti's management, Osimhen became a star player. Yes, he performed very impressive in the season 2022-2023. At that time, it was true that Napoli dominated Serie A and won the Scudetto (Serie A title). However, Napoli was getting weaker after Spalletti left the club and Osimhen begin to get many difficulties to maintain his good performance. He has the intention to leave the club, too. Unfortunately, Napoli board always becomes the obstacle.

Correct. Napoli management is too greedy. They expect to get huge money by selling Osimhen. Napoli management sets a too high transfer fees. That's why many clubs failed to sign Osimhen. Sure, the main problem is Napoli management, they become too greedy. They hope to get more than 100 million, it is too high fees.

He just needs to get used to the field again for a few months, until he can really return to his good form before getting a sanction. He is still 31 years old, so he still has the opportunity to develop his career again at his new club later. Especially if it is to Marseille, it is a club that is quite developing this season, which will make Ligue 1 even more competitive. And if he can shine again in the future, it is possible that there will be other top clubs that will be interested in him. This is a transition period for him, and he still has the chance to shine in football if he can optimize it later.

It seems like we're just waiting for the contract signing.

For now yes Napoli have a chance but overall not yet I mean we cannot conclude anything based on 7 matches while 31 matches are still waiting based on schedule, we don't know what will happen next, especially when the transfer window is opened at the beginning of the year. As we see now at least 4-5 teams are competing there with a fairly close point difference and each team has advantages, Napoli still dominated from the last few matches and Inter Milan are trying to return to the track while Juventus still holding a record never lost well we can mention it in tight competition but we are also waiting for which team will slip. Anyway, we haven't seen them in a safe position.

With a new season, new manager that has history in winning trophies, do you think Napoli are back to the form they were when they won the league title in the season 22/23? To me that was an impressive display we saw back then. Now we have Napoli topping the league after a failed start up this very campaign and no one thought they would be at the top till this very moment, out of 7 games 5 wins 1 draw and 1 loss. That's a good one from Conte, doesn't it mean that the new manager is going to transform the club to be a much stronger title contender this season? What are we to expect from Napoli?

Because Ligue 1 is not as competitive as Serie A, Pogba has the hope to rediscover his best form, although we realize Pogba needs a little time to adapt. Juventus, currently coached by Thiago Motta, has shown signs of releasing him, besides the club finances will also be disrupted if Poga is included in the squad again. Joining Marseille, has the potential to make Pogba get another call from Didier Deschamps to strengthen the French National Team at the upcoming 2026 World Cup. In terms of age, Pogba still seems to have something to offer, the main obstacle to recruiting him lies in his relatively high weekly salary agreement. Meanwhile, I don't see Manchester United providing a way home for their former player.

The team is also try to meet up this season since there able to won 3 matches out of the seven that they’ve played, it shows that that AC Milan can do much better this season to occupy severals position, but for now Napoli has generally occupied the top of table; The team has a great season but I can see the Inter Milan didn’t given chances Napoli only ahead of the inter Milan with just two points which in their next match if they put much effort they can able to over take Napoli from the top table.

But Victor Osimhen is not an injury player anyways despite fracture of his cheekbone injury which made him to constantly put on mask when he is playing but for his zeal to score goals I think playing for Napoli he played with all his heart, body snd soul looking at how he always took risk to score goals especially his style of lifting which reminds me of C. Ronaldo. Victor Osimhen will be back soon and he may still be the highest goal scorer in the league and by the end of the season offers will definitely come for him from big clubs because he is young and vibrant.

I think Pogba will prefer Marseille as his new team because from various news sources that I read, Juventus is reluctant to give Pogba a chance this season, meaning Juventus doesn't want Pogba on team and the only way Pogba has to find another team in his next career. Joining Ligue 1 is also a pretty good choice because he can appear in the Champions League or Europa League if Marseille manages to close the season at the top this season.

Pogba is indeed a great player but he has faced many problems so that his career is getting worse. He has to leave Serie A and that's the best way to start over. To rejoin Manchester United is certainly an impossible choice because Manchester United doesn't want to gamble a second time after they bought Pogba at a fairly expensive price.

Are you serious? Ok, I looked at the goals Inter conceded: 2 goals from Genoa, 1 goal from Monza, 2 from Milan, 2 from Udinese, 2 from Torino and two more games without conceding a goal. Do you think that 7 games is not enough of a sample to draw conclusions and they were "just unlucky" 9 times? Please note that all but Milan here are pretty mediocre teams. You are probably either a big optimist or an Inter fan.

Indeed, when looking at the previous situation this will be difficult but I don't think it's wrong to try especially for now Juventus are quite energetic under Motta so it is possible that he can maximize the talents that Pogba is missing. But in this case of course we also have to look at some of the possibilities that can occur because in the end all decisions are at Juventus, especially Motta whether Pogba can be there and fit into his plans or not.

Interestingly now after the news about Pogba's reduced ban period for now various kinds of rumors have started to exist for this player including rumors for a reunion with Manchester United and rumors about Marseille trying to approach Pogba. To be back at Manchester United I think here is a little complicated but it is still possible when Marseille starts trying to approach and I think besides Juventus the possibility of Marseille is the other biggest when he returns to being an athlete and is free from the ban.

Yes, and I didn't know that Italy has those problems. I know that in countries like Brazil they have that problem, the players are no longer trained, they don't play like before, the children are only on their phones and there is no longer that desire like before, that is a problem that is becoming global. I think that technology has helped and hurt in a certain way The good thing about countries like Italy is that they have a technique and a style of playing very much their own, as you say, good defense and attack, but the players from before are no longer there, and it is serious that that is lost.

True. It is undeniable that Osimhen was the best striker that season, he even managed to bring Napoli to win Serie A. However, between Napoli Management and Osimhen, the problem that occurred can be said that both parties suffered losses. Osimhen could not move to an elite team in Europe and Napoli also suffered losses. From this incident, Napoli can learn a lesson in the future not to sell players too expensively, hoping to make a big profit from the sale, finally all the teams that were initially interested withdrew, and the club's dream was gone. And this is also a lesson for Osimhen to change his attitude. If he doesn't change, he will become Balotelli volume two because of the player's high ego. If he quickly realizes it and is ready to change, then he might be able to return to his perfect career at an elite club, don't be easily offended, and don't be reckless because of emotions.

But whatever it is, everything has happened, and Napoli is finally coached by Conte and is able to get a replacement for Osimhen by bringing in Lukaku quickly. Now it is proven that Napoli has performed impressively so far even though at the beginning of the season they had bad results, but after that Napoli began to improve so that they could perform consistently which made them at the top of the Serie A standings for now. Napoli's next match will be against Empoli, on paper Napoli will easily win this match. Napoli is very lucky this season because they do not have a busy schedule so they can focus on pursuing the Serie A trophy this season.

The Nigerian is a good player but his major problem is injuries. He a player that is not safety conscious. He can take any risk just to ensure he gets goals. Some of the long-lasting injuries he has suffered, which include the fracture of his cheekbone were because of his zeal to score.

If he is fit he would score more goals in Galastataray. With his quality, he might compete for the highest goal scorer in the Turkish League. And if that happens, his worth will increase, and top clubs will compete fiercely to get his attention in January.

Every top team in the Serie A would be waiting to play against teams like Parma and get their own share of the points, well I think Como is currently better than Parma even though they're not a big team and are just directly ahead of Parma in the table but they perform better than Parma and I've watched Como frustrate several top teams in the league so I believe they'll come out victorious in the match. Moreover Parma got a red card when they faced Bologna in their last match before the International break, I didn't really view the match  though so I don't know if it's their on of their key player that would be missing the match against Como. Well, I believe that Como would win that game cause they're playing in their home ground and if they can pressure bigger teams then Parma won't really be a difficult challenge for them. Although Parma are not in a good position in the table but atleast they've tried to avoid the relegation zone, they're currently in 15th position and if they could atleast try to draw with Como then it would boost then from dropping to the relegation zone.

Bookies are right, Parma just doesn't have what it takes to be good and we are not seeing them get a great result at the moment. I believe we are going to see people having different results for the time being but eventually we are going to see them relegate this season if they keep playing like this.

On the other hand Como has the financial backing and can look to do better, they had one bad move which was getting Varane who ended up retiring and I respect his decision if he feels like he can't physical play anymore, and mentally he would get weaker too and hopeless, at least retirement means Como doesn't have to pay him. Rest of the transfers they did looks to be strong and they are getting good results.

I think betting on Como to win is the right way to go. I am sure Parma will eventually get back to Serie A again, but first they will need to drop, and financially figure out what's wrong and build a team they can sustain for a longer time. Because if you can't build a sustainable team, then you will need success and when success doesn't come then you have debt and you will build a team much lesser than your income, to pay the debt with the left over amount of money you make.

Pogba still feels very optimistic about himself getting back to football on full fitness and display of that his quality abilities as a midfielder. He’s just too confident in himself that he can still be that good player they can rely on in the team. Juventus may not want to still involve themself with him after the doping allegations on him after being found guilty of it. In most scenarios of cases like this, such players don’t get their self back into the team again and will just get themself to sign for another team. Being an injury prone player is not good actually but maybe he will not be such again after returning back to football.

Osimhen have a huge role and contribution in helping Napoli win the title in the 2023 season, his ability and high instinct in scoring goals made him able to become the top scorer in Serie A at that time, but currently Napoli and Osimhen have  a bad relationship, because previously it looked as if they were trying to prevent Osimhen from going to the big team last summer,  Napoli has been famous as team that have priced players quite expensively so far, but for some reason the offer submitted by PSG and Chelsea which reportedly reached 80 million euros they rejected and instead preferred to accept an offer from Al Ahli which was also around 80 million euros, so I think Napoli is deliberately trying to destroy Osimhen career and popularity by throwing him into the SPL league,  so playing at Galatasaray on loan is an alternative for him to spend his contract with Napoli and  I think it's the right step compared to having to play in the SPL permanently with Al Ahli, because on the other hand, of course, at this time the galatasaray can also be a ladder for Osimhen to fulfill his dream of playing in the big team next season.

Both Parma and Como have scored 10 goals in 7 games, the only difference is the difference in goals conceded and they are in the red zone of relegation for now in the standings. Placing bets on their matches tests how lucky we are because there is no determining factor for both clubs to convince bettors, if it is too difficult to predict the best solution as you said it would be better to avoid it, anyway in week 8 there are still other matches that are more potential to bet on such as the match between Juventus vs Lazio, Empoli vs Napoli, Roma vs Inter Milan and the last match that must be considered is Venice vs Atalanta. These 4 matches have better winning potential but again each bettor has their own skills and abilities.

Marseille would be a perfect decision for him, not sure if Marseille will get him or not, but it would be perfect. The main reason would be Pogba is French, and going back to his home country and doing fine there means a lot, Marseille also built a great team and I am guessing they are going to end up with a great result one way or another, we are going to end up with a lot of money with time as well.

The reality is we are going to see this getting to a point where things aren't always great for some teams, and Marseille spent a lot and build a great team and yet not doing that great at the moment, if they can somehow get Pogba, they could turn the ship around and do much better. Pogba is the type of player who can make a team better and we are going to see them do better eventually as well. We just need to make sure we can see them get Pogba first, because right now he might be looking for a pay day, and Saudi league could give him what he wants.

Osimhen is an excellent player. And Osimhen has already proved his mettle. He performed brilliantly in the 2022-23 season. And that's why Napoli dominated Serie A. Napoli dominated Serie A and won the title. And Osimhen's contribution to this was the greatest.

Napoli management wanted to sell Osimhen at a very high price. Many clubs agreed to buy Osimhen for 100 million. But the Napoli management wanted to make more money. And finally Napoli failed to sell Osimhen. Napoli suffered great losses financially. I would say this was definitely a big mistake by Napoli management.
