Messi was one of the best in the World when he burst into the scene. In few years he was the best player in the World. So that was not a case of given youngsters chance. He was the best. Rashford ain't the best. If you get what I am saying.

Concise on what?... He's talking about getting player of u17 then said they are u14...and I now ask what stop him from getting real u14 in Nigeria, then export them to UK...


Is it a crime?

Danielnino00:
This Rashford and Iheanacho comparison is totly unnecessary IMO.. Both are very talented but Rashford was just much more luckier than Kelechi.. If not for an injury crisis that made Van Gaal hand him him Man utd debut,he'd probably still be in the reserve team or maybe on loan already cause Mourinho isn't the type of coach that likes giving youth players chance.. he prefers to go for the ready made players.

If Kelechi had the same kind of opportunity at city he might be on a better level than Rashford now. Hopefully he doesn't get lost in Shakespeare's boring football system

but at a club like Chelsea he wouldn't have been given the chance

Bla Bla Bla.... Man Utd bullcrap!!

Last time I checked I don't see Rashford in the top 5 even of EPL's deadliest forwards....

But that list has Gabby Jesus topping it now, Followed by Aguero... and guess who comes next? Iheanacho... oya cringe again...

Rashford better indeed... Hahahahahahahahaha.... what do you expect to hear from EPL core apologists and man Utd faithfuls? The truth?

YOU ARE WRONG.

Rashford parents are from the Caribbean, his entire family background is black. And from Wythenshawe and the neighbourhoods of Moss Side, Hulme in Manchester.

Doesn't matter where you are from as long as you are not white you are black full stop.

Things are changing you are black you will face discrimination. However money has no colour. If you can produce then you will be on the ascendancy.

Rashford is not better than Tammy but he is in a team that will give youth players a chance. I have already talked about the dynamics at Chelsea race and nationality have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

The most influential person outside of Roman in Chelsea football club is EMENALO a former Nigerian international a black African.

There is no hype about Rashford he was simply given an opportunity and he seized it. If KC was at Manchester United he would certainly be a regular. There are different dynamics in each club.

A few months ago I was opportuned to watch Liverpool vs Chelsea U18. I was shocked the entire Chelsea team was black apart from the goalkeeper.

Chelsea is an international team on a lot of occasions they may not field one English player. So your perceptions and deductions are totally wrong.

Lukaku was not given a chance at Chelsea after hus move at 18 from Anderlecht, the rest as we say is now history, arguably the best striker in the premiership.

Across the top level if the EPL in thier academies there is now a racial bias in favour of strong, fast, athletic, technical players. Which simply means Black African origin players. I have had complaints from white players and thier associates saying. " You got to be black to get in, it's so unfair "
a kind of reverse racism.

If I didnt have conscience I would fly to Benin city pick out 3/4 top youth players of U17 from the various youth academies. Get them to England declare them as U14 and nurture them, put them through the system and I'll be laughing all the way to the bank and so will they.

Is Iheanacho better than Harry Kane? ROMELU Lukaku? Jamie Vardy? Diego Costa? Alvaro Morata?

I don't see iheanacho's name in the top 10 best young talent in the world, I don't see iheanacho's name among the nominees for the golden boy award, I didn't see iheanacho's name when Ronaldo mentioned the top 7 players in the world that can take over from him when he retires

Seriously - how is Iheanacho better than Rashford?? Just asking (p.s I'm an Arsenal fan)

Leyqute:




Is Iheanacho better or deadlier than Harry Kane? ROMELU Lukaku? Jamie Vardy? Diego Costa? Alvaro Morata?

We know Iheanacho as a bright prospect but don't over exaggerate things. At the moment he's struggling to get a starting berth at Leicester. No sensible coach leave a good player on the bench. If your favourite position is occupied you can still make do with another position in the team.

If Iheanacho is as deadly as you tout him to be, he'd be a regular at Leicester.

And don't play the race card, Okazaki, Mahrez aren't British but theyre a core part of the team.

Iheanacho is good but he won't make the top 10 deadliest attackers list in the EPL.

I even thought you were joking at first

TheSuperNerd:
Hmmmmm... another quote on this rashford ish... seems I hurt. a lot of man Utd fans today... loll... na wa ooo.. make una calm down naa...

Last time it was Mikel that brought scores of monikers to this thread now, it is Nacho and rashford... Hahahahahahahahaha.... I see a trend...

Anyway....

But he made The Top 10 in the Golden boy awards last year...

He made the UK Telegraph's prestigious list of world's best 50 young players U-21... a list topped by Mbappe and Donnarumma.

He also makes the Top 3 of the EPL's deadliest forwards in terms of Clinical scoring ratios.

And yes I saw that interview by CR7... good for him... I didn't read or see him mention Gabby Jesus, Paul Pogba, Harry Kane, Paulo Dybala, or even Marco Veratti or Isco... does it mean they are sh**ty too?
Recall Rinaldo also said "and some others"..

Ohhh it is because he mentioned Rashford huh? Same Ronaldo who went to man mark Iheanacho himself for a last minute cornerkick for Man City in the 2015/2016 UCL semi 2nd leg in the same period that Nacho was commanding stats which made him the Deadliest and most clinical forward in Europe... lol

Oga... tell me something else.

TheSuperNerd:
Never seen this moniker before so I can guess where it came from... but I Love your question because I have the perfect answer for it.

In all honesty... looking at all these players and their all round plays and contributions... come on now Brother... ask yourself this... is it fair comparing Guys with years of experience at the top with a lad like Nacho who is starting out? huh?

But I will still answer nonetheless....


Better than Kane? No way!

Better than Lukaku? Come on man .. where did you get that? Are u ok? Nada... at least not yet...

Better than Vardy? Okay now... give me a break.. what part of NO don't you understand.. The N or the O? still not yet.. Vardy is 30.. Nacho is 20... come on !

Better than Morata? Chaaiiiii... morata? Give Nacho a break...kid is U-21 dammit!


Look... I have said this before many pages ago and I will say it again.... I am not saying he is better than those strikers or even Kun Aguero... nope...

But I am saying he got something they (except Aguero) don't have... and that is the reputation of being among the top three deadliest forwards or strikers in the EPL based on goals per mins ratio... and that my friend is the koko... not who dribbles better or who does backlifts better or who got more pace or who does more snake bites or roulettes... or who moonwalks better...

It is about who scores at a more clinical rate.... and the job of strikers is to score goals. That is the hallmark of a striker or forward.

Tu comprends?

iheanacho is so good he is playing from the bench at Leicester City, fncking Leicester City, Rashford will walk into their first team

best young talents in the world, kelechi is missing, gold boy nko, kelechi is missing, nobody calls kelechi anymore when they talk about the best young talents in the world, if you say kelechi is better than rashford then he is also better than mbappe, dembele, Asensio because these are players rashford is being compared with

Joebie:
Oga, it's mostly subjective. Rankings etc. For us here we will keep ringing about the minute to goal ratio because that stat no be beans, and it supports our argument

You don't go to a Man U thread and say a damn thing about any of their special players and get away scott-free.

This is a pro-Nigeria thread. Should a Ghanian come here and say any trash about our players, he will get enough rain of abuses.

Anyone who comes here and chooses to talk down on our players should not expect a different treatment. If you really think Rashford is better you can keep that argument within yourself, else expect anything here.

Just as England holds dearly their own, we also hold dearly ours.

But let's call a spade, a spade. Iheanacho is class. He has scored more goals for Nigeria than Rashford has for England. And Rashford will most likely never win a senior international trophy. But guess who definitely will, before he hangs his boots?

So if you like keep using England celebrated ManU as your yardstick. Now, does it hold?

TheGoodJoe:


Anybody comparing Rashford with Asensio must be high on Kunu. Please go and Google Asensio vs Macedonia during one of the U21 games and tell me Rashford can even dream of such performance.

This is the hype I am talking about. Because Manchester United gives him playing time, he is the real deal since Giggs.

Allow the young man work hard for his future. Leave the hype.

dopeJemi:


what is that international trophy kelechi will win before rashford? Nigeria's lack of quality strikers is the reason why kelechi can start for the eagles, was it not ighalo that led the line against Cameroon, fncking ighalo

in a team that has vardy, Harry Kane, Rashford still starts, in a team that has ibrahimovic, Lukaku, martial, rashford still starts but when it was just Aguero and Wilfred bony, Kelechi couldn't start

TheSuperNerd:
*yawns* I didn't even bother finishing this crap you wrote down there...

I stopped when you said "bench again"... like seriously ... this guy didn't have a preseason and in hia first game for them had an assist for the winning goal and moments later, he picks up a toe injury... wow! he only just made his first start last week against Huddersfield I think... so what is your problem?

Shakes and the club have been working so hard to get Nacho into the best physical shape and up his fitness level because of the injury and because he was behind in fitness and physical conditioning having not had a preseason... or you wanna throw that out the window?

U think the club will risk starting a player who is still building his fitness levels... na wa ooo... don't you understand some science in the beautiful game? or maybe you just watch Man Utd with some popcorn and coke and shout goals and don't give a hoot about some other aspects of the game.

He got his first start against Huddersfield.. and he played in an U-23 game before that to help build his fitness level. I personally gave Nacho a timeline of this Month end till early october to be almost ready or at 100% physically and fitness wise... So why don't you give him a break? and also try to be holistic in your views of Nacho's situation instead of just blabbing because you wanna defend your beloved Rashford... lol

ChrisKels:
The way some people tremble whenever the name *Rashford* is mentioned here would tell even the blind who is better presently. I blv KC will bounce back but I'm afraid Leicester is a bad place to be right now with their kick/follow style.

Rashford had his chance served on a platter? Chai I can be patriotic but not preposterous, Rashford got his chance and seized it. Injury knocked off those above him, then, he was called up to fill in, he grabbed the little opportunity with both hands and since then, hasn't looked back. He never had it so easy though u can call him a lucky guy just because of how the first opportunity to play for the first came his way.

TheSuperNerd:
Bonyyyy? Nacho got a few starts here and there naa and even became CITY's Second choice striker by displacing Bony... na wa oooo..

Under Pellegrini, Iheanacho also grabbed his opportunity with both hands, feet and teeth. Even when Guardiola took over and Aguero got suspended, Iheanacho took his opportunity well. Guardiola just wants something different. A bit too deep for my understanding.

Guardiola actually prefers Gabriel Jesus to Aguero.

I am like Pep explain because I do not understand.

If Pellegrini did not go, this argument would not even happen. Kelechi Iheanacho was a perfect fit for Pellegrini. That is what I like about Pelz. His transformation of Guiseppe Rossi and Forlan was legendary. Sharp and direct chances.
