he’s not good at free kicks please, how many does he have in his career? One or two

Bros, for your own sanity, desist from arguing with this guy. You know he won't capitulate even when he is obviously wrong.

He argues and uses false stats to support nonsense arguments

The same person that wants us to hype iheanacho because he outperformed kane and son in a match where the entire tottenham team played badly

You may dismiss me

But in my little football experience it's not always talent and ability but MENTALITY that is the core component for success.

Within mentality is humility, resilience, diligence, discipline, quest to improve and rise , overcome and overtake.

That's what VO is he was very weak technically and his football ⚽ intelligence near zero at Wolfsburg. But he realised, l got a lot to learn, he humbled himself with a never say die determination, he improved ,he Learned, he adapted, he pushed himself, he was never content ,he wanted more and has ARISEN. There is no discussion about top strikers without his name in the mix.

KC remained he has got to where he wanted beyond his wildest dreams. When he moved to Leicester he got £2.5 million in the bank 🏦 imagine what exchange rate then it was £1 to 250 Naira ( land and houses werva lot cheaper cement too) He was content football ⚽ became a pass time without any passion to RISE and make a name he has made the £££ ,nuttin remain, I have Arrived.

Isaac Success the waste Man was even worse big money enter hand ,brain scatter he even became over weight. Fighting 3 olosho in a 5 star hotel ,drunk and refusing to pay for services rendered.

Kelechi in a nutshell is a guy who began to celebrate before the goal was in the net . Living the lifestyle without actually being successful. He didn't improve he believed the hype his own and many who have hailed him here , Midfield maestro numero one, inside bottom of Segundo division. He has had too much opportunity but nothing to show.

truth be told osimhen is one player that shut me up after I wrote him off during his stint at Wolfsburg

Osimhen is the real definition of “never say never”. He’s resilience and strong will coupled with hard work and belief catapulted him to where he is today

Dude turned me from a doubter to a believer/fan who is even clamoring and fighting man united English fans on Twitter and fb who prefers kane at united next season instead of the Napoli hit man

Chriskel hv called me out severally here reminding me of how I never rated osimhen then which I openly admitted because there is no shame in absorbing the truth when it’s obvious

That’s the same way I will owe up to my shit if nwakali eventually turns out for the barca,Madrid,Bayern, United of this world in or atleast make a name in any of the top 7 leagues in europe in the nearest future

how can you write off an 18years old who is just starting his career and getting very little game time? I’ll rather question your football knowledge and not the player’s ability

My brother, during the Nations cup… you can go back and check. There was an Nwakali Mass delusion event that was organized. His super natural abilities were trumpeted to the high heavens. Heat maps were produced, pictures of Nwakali wearing Superman shirts were shown, he was hailed as the Messiah of our midfield. Even respected monikers here who normally approached any subject with logic and intelligence abandoned all reason and joined the orgy of delusion stark naked. I had to double check to see if it was the same Nwakali Abi it was another one. It was an exaggeration galore. You can confirm yourself .

LOll

grin grin grin

Someone not even ranked as one of the best midfielders in Segunda division...SEGUNDAAAAA

Some players are favorites, so nothing their delusional fans say will surprise me

Let me even say it boldly, Osimhen has never gotten the level of hype the other guys have gotten until very recently. This is the truth except we want to start lying to ourselves

You don't get to outperform some of the best players in world football by playing around. You are pushing a false narrative. Think of a better abuse.

I was so crazy about Nacho's finishing until I watched Osimhen. I have not seen a striker wrap his foot around the ball when shooting like Osimhen.

With Osimhen coming in, I opt we play a similar system to Enrique's Barcelona. As Guardiola puts it, a Machine made up of excellent forwards.

With Success, Osimhen and Iheanacho, setting up as Neymar, Suarez and Messi. All forwards with brilliant goal scoring records.

You wrote names and yet to show stats or reports on these players having the ability to dictate play from deep and control the game with long balls. Nothing of such. Just typing names.

I know you find this hard to believe.

If statistics were the beginning and end of player assessment.

There would be no need for a team of players and game analysts as well as video analysts. We would not be sending teams of scouts to watch players up close and personal. There would be no need to write up a player review.

We would simply jump on one of the plethora of site's purporting to carry out players analysis and statistics. Clubs would on that basis alone buy the players they want.

I know too many football club recruitment head's and officers, none of them look at stats alone.

There are other things mentality, work rate, discipline, adaptability, culture, skill sets, technical ability, physicality, pace , resilience, etc , etc.

When I talk about players with any depth 75% of the time it's players I've seen up close and personal.

So I am giving you a first hand deduction and view, sometimes that view is augmented with talking to the coaching staff associated with the player. On the odd occasion I may speak 🗣️ with his agent as well.

Yes you absolutely can.

Because football is a very short term career.

As a recruitment head you will come across literally thousands of so called promising players. If they cannot show the promise, there is no time to waste you simply look for those that are showing it.

If in the future he starts to show his promise, then you can go back to him.

But your always looking forward not much backwards, this is the harsh reality of football ⚽.

Your just writing long talk with no substance in it.

The point is that we need an alternative to the kind of midfielders we have. We need a midfielder or even more that can control the game from deep with long balls, and also dictate play with combinative passes.

All you typed up there shows that your suggestion has no contribution to the point. You are just wasting time showing us that you have no person to offer.

So, stop the slagging off Kelechi Nwakali because you have no alternative.

If you do, tell us the player and why you think he offers these attributes. If you can't show us that the person can offer it, then rest.

Because you really do not know what you are talking about. You can not write off a promising 18 years old player because of a career dip. That is absolutely false. Harsh reality is that you make so much gaffes on this thread and try to sell it as knowledge.

If you have no stats to show us that a player can control the midfield and dictate play with short and long passes. You have no means of showing it, then you have nothing to offer.

Just read people make contributions and bring points to back it up. Even if you hate the player and wish the player fails, soak it in, read and pass.

LEICESTER STRIKER KELECHI IHEANACHO IS A DEADLY EFFICIENT EPL STRIKER

The 26-year-old Nigerian, once of Manchester City, is the 10th most efficient player in EPL history in terms of minutes per goal/assist, in other words, how long it takes him for any direct goal contribution on average. Leicester have scored four goals in each of their last two Premier League matches. Iheanacho has scored in each game.

On average, Iheanacho is scoring or assisting an EPL goal every 111 minutes on the pitch. That’s decent going. Among players with 150+ appearances, only nine other players have a better ratio than the Nigerian. Look at some of those names!

All those expecting KC to be consistent are expecting him to score in every game till the season ends. Something even Halaand will not do. Just give Iheanacho a run of games. And in drought, have a little patience like its done for Vardy.
