Sadiq is not yet a starting forward. He started a cup game. Clubs test some of their youths in Cup games.

I would personally be ashamed to say this. You sit down in your room with 10mb free data (maybe) mocking a 19-year old boy you could probably father if you grew up in the north. The boy does not know that you exist. He wines and dines with some of the biggest stars in World Football today.

The joke is actually on you, no offence.

BascoVanVeli:


I personally watched him play and score against Chievo Verona in a league match, his prior goal which earned him this start was a cup tie. Like i said he is a breath of fresh air for Roma since Totti is injured and Dzeko is not at top form. I wouldnt stick my neck out for a guy i never saw.

Badosqi:
mocking? It is obvious you don't understand my post.

I don't know why some of guys think there is nothing special about playing time. Wining and dining with some of the biggest players will not authomatically turn you to a big star, we all want Iheanacho to be one of the biggest stars that other young players would love to dine with. Playing regularly and showcasing skills you acquired in training will do. Training is very important and regular playing time is important too. This is January, man city can loan him out to a quality team for regular playing time if Pelle thinks he is too young for his team.


And am I old enough to father a 19yr old kid? NO. I am presently in my early twenties. Unless it is possible for a 2yr old kid to impregnate a woman.

Let's see him start a few games in the league, first.

Still waiting for the GoodJoe to come explain what happened with Hernandez. That was the perfect response to those who think playing time is not important to the performance of a footballer. Even outside the football world, it is a known fact that one gets better in what he does frequently. Iheanacho staying at city will not help his development. He has a lot to prove after learning from the best, playing alongside the best players at city. His recent interviews will tell you the boy is eager to do just this. A student cannot keep learning forever. He's got to be pragmatic and creative with knowledge. What's the use of knowledge when it cannot be applied?

How old was this guy (Sterling abi wetin be that his name) before he became a regular and outshined Victor Moses. Especially when they knew all of them where World Cup bound? What about Jordon Ibe and Dele Ali?

These guys were prepared right from time for their national teams.

Nacho's agents must think twice.

You mention 3 British Citizens who have all opted to play for England, people who started from proper academies in England and are products of same academies, people who ave been exposed to pro-football and the processes since they could kick a ball.

Does Kelechi have same benefits? No, he doesn't. He's arguably one of less than five teenage African kids who are fully home grown making waves in Western Europe currently. Compare him to people of similar circumstances

Anyway, there are rumours of a loan move to West Ham.....but these are just rumors

BascoVanVeli:


He is the only player i ever noticed u give a thumbs up to, this same Ighalo u say is in a blazing form is the one u said wasnt there yet.
I never said Sadiq was better than anybody. Dzeko had gone over 1000 minutes with only 3 goals while in 2 games(1 sub 1 start) he has scored twice, what would u do if u were the coach? For now he will be their starting CF and i am impressed.

Sadiq Umar flying high at Roma

Shinning Nigerian youngster Sadiq Umar is set for his second start for AS Roma when they host AC Milan on Saturday in continuation of the Italian Serie A.

Roma star striker Edin Dzeko remains suspended for the weekend game after his appeal against a two-match ban was not successful.

Sadiq has been a breath of fresh air for Roma, who are fifth on the table.

The 18-year-old striker has scored in each of his last two appearances for the Rome outfit, coming off the bench to head home in a 2-0 win over Genoa last month, and giving his club the lead in a 3-3 draw at Chievo Wednesday.

The Kaduna-born youngster was promoted to the senior squad after he scored 14 goals in 10 matches for the youth team.

Good, we need to see him play more games.

Musa Yahaya to a second division Portuguese club all because of the greed of agents and handlers.

All Nigerian youth players are plagued by this greed. Everyone wants to eat from the player even before he makes real money.

IMO nothing bad in Musa Yahaya moving to 2nd division Portugues club. After all Taiwo Awoniyi is currently at a 2nd division German club, Arsene Wenger is abt to Offload Alex Iwobi to Reading-an English championship club, Chuba Akpom also plays in the championship.
If that move will guarantee Musa Yahaya good playing time and opportunity to develop, better for him. The thing is even if he signs for the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, or the English giants they may send him to their youth teams and after wards loan him to lower sides in any part of Europe for him to gain game time.

Musa Yahaya is a good player. And I want to believe it wont take long before the bigger clubs come for him. He jst needs to do his thing in that 2nd division club.

So I am happy for Yahaya. A good step to me.

Toh, the news has been broken. 2 goals and 2 assists in 3 starts.....I go like dey fetch water for De Bruyne and Aguero abeg

Actually, Pellegrini has been under pressure from man city fans to field Iheanacho. It became necessary when Sunderland and Bournemouth approached City to have him on loan for the rest of the season and this was turned down. City is trying to fend off interest from other clubs.
