lakesidepapa: I do not think he hated them (Seydou Keita and Yaya). He just preferred Busquets laid back style. Alaba flourished Under Guardiola. He grew as a player with Guardiola. I do not see or expect any problems between Nacho and Pep. |

It is good to have someone like forgiveness on this thread (even though he annoys me sometimes), someone who looks out for those without popular demand. I doubt we would discuss Solanke as a prospect of the country without someone like forgiveness. To the attack discussion. I doubt Coach Siasia will be impressed enough to call a striker with 7 goals in 21 games. forgiveness, does Solanke play upfront or does he play on the wings for Vitesse. Unless he plays on the wings, I do not see Coach Siasia giving him a call up. I feel Coach Siasia has a lot of faith in Osimhen and I see him making it over the likes of Chikatara and Solanke. (Note, Ronaldo De Lima was Seventeen years old when Carlos Alberto Parreira selected him for the World Cup. Although he did not play) 1 Like |

lakesidepapa: I think Yaya leaving has more to do with the club than Pep. With or without Guardiola coming in, we would not have given him what he wanted. Yaya wants a three year contract. For his age, it is too much. Especially for a club that wants to have a strong position among the elites in Europe. As for Eto'o, he was on the field when Pep Guardiola experimented with the false nine formation with Messi. It was a game against Real Madrid and it was revolutionary. Eto'o was not suited for the role and Pep had to let him go. I think it was more a thing to do with preference of the false nine formation that defined Messi's career over the attacking ability of Eto'o. |

After painstackinly selecting the Defenders and midfielders. I will now proceed to selecting the attackers 1) Isaac Success; This is the second season of the Granada star in the Spanish laliga and he has not disappointed with 5 goals and 1 assist this season. Success will be joining Watford FC for the start of the 2016/17 season. He can play anywhere across the front line. He is 20 years old. 2) Kelechi Iheanacho; This is his first season in professional club football. However, he proved his worth when giving the chance to play. He has 9 goals and some assist to his credit. Plays as a RW, Second striker and Striker. He is 19 years old. 3) Moses Simon; He was a revelation last season with Genk who he helped to win the league for the first time in their history. These season he has garnered more experience by playing and scoring in the Champions League. No doubt, he deserves to make the list. Primarily plays as a left winger, and can as well play as a Striker or second striker. He will be 21 years of age this year. 4) Ezekiel Imoh; Ezekiel Imoh wealth of experience can't be dismissed. Having scored 47 goals in the last 4 seasons in one of the Top 10 European leagues in the world and even went to score in the Europa League this season. He can play as a Striker, Rw and second striker. He is 22 years of age 5) Dominic Solanke; He came to limelight last season with the Chelsea youth team when he helped them to win the FA Youth Cup and UEFA youth league. He even became the top scorer of the UEFA youth league tournament with 12 goals, and because of these, Chelsea rewarded him by promoting him to the first team at the age of 17 and later featured him in last year UEFA Champions League last season making him the youngest debutant for Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League. In his first season in the Eredivisie, he scored 7 goals even though he was out due to injury for 3 month. Although Solanke prefers playing as a striker, he can also play as a winger on either side and as an attacking midfielder. He is only, 18 years old.

forgiveness: You did not answer the question. I said what role does he play for Vitesse. Is he a regular upfront. If you do not know, just say you do not know. Do not throw stats to make it look like if Solanke and Nacho are operating on the same level. Everyone can testify the Eredivisie is easier to perform than the Premier League. John Guidetti who could not get games at Man City, went to Feyenoord and scored 20 goals in 23 appearances. He could not break through into City and Pellegrini rates Iheanacho ahead of Guidetti. Solanke started 17 games this season in the Eredivisie and scored 7 goals and 1 assist. That is poor. Iheanacho started 3 games and scored 3 goals with 1 assist in the Premier League. 1 Like |

forgiveness: Solanke has started a total of 18 games this season with 7 goals and 1 assist. Despite playing on an easier ground. Iheanacho has started 9 games this season with 10 goals and five assist (In the words of TheSuperNerd, Alien Kid). Levels pass levels.

From my study, Dominic Solanke plays as a point man for Vitesse. It says a lot that he is a bright talent for the future. I hope he grows and makes a big impact in the game. With respect to the Olympics team, he does not fit in with his stats. 7 goals in 17 starts is poor for the team. Coach Siasia will not take him. If Solanke played on the wings, he would have stood a chance. As a point man, regularly, he does not meet up. My advice to Solanke is to team up with the U20 boys and slug it out with Osimhen for the U20 No.9 shirt. (I don't think he will beat Osimhen but it will be a healthy battle for the team). He is young and still has time to make a solid impact. 1 Like |

forgiveness: I did not know jack about Iwobi. It Icon4s, Arsetalks and some gunner fans that were talking Iwobi is good, Iwobi is this and that. I did not give a da.. until I watched him play against Hull City. That pass to Theo Walcott was like.. WHOA. Every doubt in me vanished. He took me from a doubter to a fan with that pass. |

forgiveness: If Iheanacho had seven goals in Seventeen stats, Icon4s will tell us, "HE IS NOT THERE YET." Very few to none will argue. Fortunately, he is the most Lethal Marksman in Man City. There is no way you expect Coach Siasia to leave him out. Statistically at least, the teenager is by some distance Man City's most lethal shot-taker. Conversion Stats for City's attacking stars Player Shot conversion rate (excluding blocks) Kelechi Iheanacho 42.86% Sergio Aguero 22.54% Kevin De Bruyne 19.23% Raheem Sterling 17.14% Samir Nasri 14.29% David Silva 12.50% Yaya Toure 12.24% Wilfried Bony 11.11% http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2015-16/mar/260316-talking-tactics-teenage-stars-kelechi-iheanacho-manchester-city.html So fortunately, he is there and endorsed by Sir Icon4s. |

CFCman: I say yes. Mikel is playing some of the ball of his Defensive Midfield career. He has the weight of experience, he is a Passer but Coach Siasia should not play that two in the midfield again. As much as Mikel played well I'm the two games in Alexandria, Egypt there was no balance in the midfield until Iwobi entered. This happened in both games. I feel a Mikel, Azubuike, Iwobi partnership will be ideal. I do not trust Onazi to stay disciplined at the back. Onazi caused us to fail in a lot of games with his reckless running forward and leaving us exposed at the back. 1 Like |
