Icon4s:

And i will nt say he is good for Olympic football games yet. I would say he is good for a call-up for selection camping though I personally feel he is more of an 20 material.

Roma Rising Star Sadiq Umar Scores For Second Game In A Row

Sadiq Umar, dubbed the New Nwankwo Kanu, scored for the second straight game in the Roma’s 3 - 3 draw with Chievo Verona in the Serie A on Wednesday afternoon.

On 7 minutes, the lanky forward gave the visitors the lead and his team doubled their advantage eight minutes before the intermission through Florenzi.

Paloschi and Dainelli scored to tie the game before Iago Falqué netted in the 79th minute to put Roma 3 - 2 up, but five minutes from time Pepe popped up with the equalizer.

Sadiq Umar opened his goalscoring account for Roma in their 2 - 0 victory over Genoa on December 20, 2015.

The 18 - year - old was replaced by Gyömbér ten minutes from time.

This boy is heading for the Olympics football game with his recent performance. Chai! Somebody must play regularly.

The boy has displaced Dzeko, he should get a super eagle call up.

Pellegrini must really have it out for Iheanacho....City fans are speculating that maybe Kelechi shagged his grand daughter and that's why he won't give him playing time


Anyway, Pelle is just about done with City, they'll really need to get Pep in the Summer....such a long wait

Icon4s:


Nt true. He has nt displaced Dzeko.
I agree he has put up some fantastic performances thus far.He is jst 18 & still needs time to mature. He is a 2017 Flying Eagles prospect IMHO although he may also feature in d Olympics if selected.

super eagles fast fast?no bro let him start with the u-20 first

BascoVanVeli:


I'm sorry was Dzeko injured yesterday? The boy started and scored his second goal in as many matches. What coach will remove him from the lineup after that.

Abegi, help me tell them.

When is the next U20? Is it not next year?

Remember, he will be 20 next year. Although, he is still eligible to play. So, do you expect the lad to wait for some bench warmers before he is eligible to play for the Olympics football game or National team if he continues to see regularly football and scores goals every weeks?

Bros, if he is continues like this he deserves to go to the Olympics football games ahead of any player that is unable to break into his team. Shikena!

Icon4s:


Mayb If Iheanacho was English....
U guys here know I am nt d type that hype players. I have always maintained a conservative stance on Iheanacho.
Though I still dnt rate him as highly as most peeps here do, bt i still believe he is better than the playing time he is being given.Iheanacho has shown that he can play both as an AM, SS and a CF. I think he is good enough to even start a couple of EPL games.

If this "snub" by Pellegrini continues into d next season(if Pellegrini remains). Iheanacho should seek a transfer.

I am nt a City fan. Iheanacho's development is important for our national team.

enomakos:
my dear what if pep did't want kelechi

Icon4s:


So Umar scores goals every week? It means by now he would have scored atleast 40 goals. Is he better than Isaac Success and Imoh Ezekiel?

Icon4s:


Lol! Does that mean he has replaced Dzeko? My brother football is nt like that. I am nt taking anything away from Sadiq Umar. He has shown great potentials and promise bt he still needs time to mature. And I dnt think we should rush him into d Super Eagles yet. Let him go compete for d CF position at d next U20 along with d likes of Awoniyi, Osimhen and Ezeh.

Icon4s:


Tell them what? We have youth teams where these talented teenagers can be accommodated, tried and d best of them promoted to d Super Eagles.That is y we have a youths system. U dnt jst pick up teenagers and push them into d Super Eagles.
Sadiq Umar is 18yrs old and should b with d U20 team from which d Super Eagles coaches can assess him for any ppssible call up.

Icon4s:


Is he even better than Isaac Success and Imoh Ezekiel?

joseph1013:
Chai. na wa o. So Umar is now ahead of Success, Kelechi, Ajayi, Ezekiel, Etebo, Ighalo (if Sia1 decides to call him) cos he scored 2 goals. Wait, na only strikers we wan carry go Olympics?

BascoVanVeli:


This isn't politics we don't have to pick a certain player and not route for the rest. These are all very fine players and they should be given their opportinity sooner than later.

Icon4s:


What forgiveness and Bascovanveli fail to acknowledge is that there are several Nigerian teenagers doing so well presently both in Europe and in Nigeria.
No big deal in Sadiq Umar scoring 2 goals for AS Roma. Several other youngsters have done more. Why single out Sadiq Umar for praise shouting. I am happy for him as a fellow Nigerian bt i still believe he is nt ripe for the Super Eagles.

forgiveness:


Somebody playing for A.C Roma is not tested and tried enough to play for the Olympics and the Super Eagles?

Says who?

How old is Kelechi Iheanacho? 19.
How did the likes of Tijani Babangida, Taribo West, Taye Taiwo, Obafemi Martins etcetera broke into the Super Eagles without playing for the youth system?

forgiveness:


Please, mention them. Thanks
