The bolded sums it all up..... Is Leroy Sane in the same class as Kelechi?? NOOOO!!!!

What about Pablo maffeo?? NOOO WAYYY!!! THAT'S AN INSULT SEF!!!

Adarabioyo?? Angelino?? Aleix Garcia?? HELL NOOOOO!!!!!

Kelechi Iheanacho is Europe's deadliest and most clinical forward based on his goals&Assists output per minute on the field of play.

He's also a "super regular" in a super competitive SUPER EAGLES SIDE, the Nigerian National team. Haba!!!!!

All the others are not... In the UEFA Golden Boy award, He even trumped Sane in the overall rankings.

Kelechi no get mate among him fellow young guns. He's done enough and is on another level compared to them.

SIR THEGOODJOE.... Pep has no justification to dump Kelechi on the bench for five straight games especially when he is in form and has always delivered when given a chance.

A player wont really grow unless you give him a chance to show on the field what you've been grinding into him on the training ground. It's just like studying and learning in classrooms without actually getting tested in the exam halls.

What should we say then?? That until you're perfect in understanding then exams will be set for you?? Is that how schooling it?? MUST ONE BE PERFECT IN EVERYTHING BEFORE HE'S TESTED OUT THERE?? I repeat... even Messi was not perfect in everything when he got his big break at Barca!!! Heck!!! Kelechi's first professional season even trumps Messi's first professional season and Messi even played more minutes!!!! Damn!!!

I REPEAT YET AGAIN, IF THE CITYZENS LOSE KELECHI "THE ALIEN KID" IHEANACHO, IT WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM IN MANY WAYS COZ THEY WILL BE LOSING A SUPER YOUNG PLAYER WHO WILL TURN OUT "WORLD-CLASS" EVENTUALLY. #Wanna bet?

Pep berra knock down that rigid, stupid philosophical bullcrap and evasive tactical reason of his and admit that Nacho is just not in his plans so that we can all know where Nacho stands in the club's future.

I RATE PEP AS ONE OF THE WORLD'S FINEST TACTICAL GENIUSES IN THE GAME BUT PEP IS NOT THE ONLY COACH WHO CAN MOULD NACHO....

Heck!!! Even Pellegrini did a good job with Nacho and was more willing even with his own stubborn rigidity to drop Bony when it actually mattered and made Nacho no.2 forward.

NACHO CAN ALSO FILL IN AS AM OR RWF..... SINCE CITY HARDLY PLAY A SYSTEM THAT PERMITS AN SS.... Pep got no excuse!!! Nacho didnt dip in form....

Nacho works like a beast in training and you cant tell me he hasnt improved one or two aspects of his game all this while.... We are talking about a kid who's a fast learner!!!

PEP IS REALLY ERRING HERE WITH THE POSTER BOY OF THE CITY ACADEMY!!! HE'S EVEN THINKING OF STILL BRINGING IN A BIG WORLD CLASS PLAYER!!! POSSIBLY LIONEL MESSI!!!! IS PEP CRAZY?? IS HE FOR REAL?? What is his problem??

In Nacho, I see a super jewel and one who can outshine the greats but if pep doesnt see that then Nacho should leave. PEP ISNT THE ONLY GREAT/FANTASTIC TALENTS-MOULDING COACH AROUND.


City fans will regret it if Nacho leaves. Mark my words.

And Nacho will haunt them forever with loads of goals anytime he faces them. Even Pep's tactical genius wont stop it from happening... How do you stop a player who knows how to bury chances (half, quarter, and full) like an ice-cold assasin (in ways even Messi will be envious of) and knows how to attack space relentlessly?? What people dont seem to see is that Kelechi can be better than Messi.... The stats show that and his talents show it too.

City are about to make the biggest mistake in their history if care is not taken...... AND THAT LIKELY MISTAKE IS "LOSING IHEANACHO"




AGREED

They had better let him leave,
I think he should join a team that has ambition and is in need of a good young player.
If possible, i think AC MILAN would be a good place for him.
They play in a way that suits Kelechi's game.

but Mikel has been training alone and without looking sideways, I can confidently tell you that he has been at his best these past 3 games(although he usually lasts for about 60mins), but that underlines the importance of training with a good coach. So just telling him to go out on loan to a team coached by Mazzarri for example will only give him the necessary game time but won't improve his overall play. So if you ask me, if teams with promising coaches do not come for him this January, then let him just stay and push for a spot, we don't have any engagements till August, so he can move during the transfer window to teams with promising coaches like Howe, Benitez and co

The issue is not who is coming in but the relationship dynamics, only Kelechi can answer that question or someone who is privy to those dynamics.

Guardiola can be ruthless and may not show any loyalty to the young Kelechi. The way he has treated Yaya tells me he no send.

If Kelechi can see the writing on the wall, it may be time to move on. He needs continous game time to get to the next level.

Sane plays for Germany, different thing entirely, Nacho won't smell the german bench either, Germans are pure racists and everybody knows that. Agreed, Nacho might be better than Sane but let's not play down Sane's abilities just so that we can prove that Nacho is better.
The bold part is not possible. Stats isn't everything, Messi started as a side midfielder, not even a winger, different thing entirely, I like being realistic. Messi isn't as predominantly one footed as people imagine unlike Nacho...are we seriously going to argue if a 19 year old Nacho is better than a 19 year old Messi? Messi never win Balon D'Or by then?

I kinda support Goodjoe here. What exactly will he achieve with that game time? You enter into a match to do what you learnt in the training ground, what if the coach no dey even teach you anything for training ground nko? You become predictable and your stock will depreciate. Kelechi should not move to 'just any club for the sake of game time', that learning process is absolutely vital especially for a 19 year old

Roma Coach Says Nigerian Full Back Nura Is
Very Quick & Technical, Reveals Debut Day




The manager of Roma Luciano Spalleti has
praised the quality of teen Nigerian full back Nura Abdullahi, whose path to the first team has been slowed down by issues outside football.

Spalleti who isn’t entirely convinced by the
performance of Bruno Perez and the injury to
Allesandro Perez means Nura could make the
right back slot of the team his own by next
month.

We gathered a tentative date of December 10th has been set as his integration day to the first team, while his debut could come in the game against Palermo barring any setback.


”His speed is impressive, he is like a breath of
fresh air, so quick off the ground and very
technical with the ball” Spalleti said of the 19
year old Nigerian.


Last season he underwent minor surgery to cure a minor heart defect, before picking up an injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season on his return from the surgery.


Scouted by Barcelona after an impressive
performance in the UEFA Youth League against
the B team of the Catalan giants, he has worked
his way back to full fitness after overcoming the
many "injury" demons that have slowed him down.

EXCLUSIVE: Spartak Moscow Enter Talks
With Nigeria League Top Scrorer Obaje Over Five Year Deal After Successful Trials But…




The top scorer in the recently concluded Nigeria Professional Football League Godwin Obaje is back in the country after spending time on trial with Russian side Spartak Moscow.


Owngoalnigeria.com can authoritatively that the 19 year old was offered a five year deal by the Russian side, and he had a routine medical before leaving Moscow after doing very well during the trials.


However, according to his elder brother Joshua
Obaje, the deal has areas yet to cleared by his
owners Wikki Tourist and Obaje’s representative.

”To God be the glory, he was offered a five year
deal but there are some grey areas, we need to
sort out before the deal can be made official”,
Obaje told Owngoalnigeria.com.

”I can’t reveal the areas at least for now, but he
had his medical which was okay, although lasted very long. There are issues to be sorted out with Wikki Tourists and even himself. Let us say for now the deal could happen, it could not”.

if you think that Moses Simon is better than Sane and you also believe that Messi's right foot is predominantly useless(25.7% of his goals last season or last two seasons came from his right foot, thats one goal in every 4 out of 62 or so) then I don't have anything else to say

The concern for Kelechi is that judging by his antecedents, Pep may have issues with Kelechi and not even tell him. Kelechi may not be in his plans and Pep will not tell him why he is behaving the way he is. Several of his past players of said so in the past.

Sebastian Rode says he has not been kept informed by Guardiola over why he has not been selected for the first team.
'Pep Guardiola isn't talking a lot to me, so I don't really know where I stand or why I am not playing on a more regular basis,' Rode told Goal.


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3502525/Pep-Guardiola-barely-speaks-says-Bayern-Munich-midfielder-Sebastian-Rode-25-year-old-seeks-playing-time.html

Guardiola has already created headlines at City by his decision to omit England goalkeeper Joe Hart from his team. When asked if the new City manager is likely to have explained his reasoning to Hart, Shaqiri laughed.

'No, no, no,' he said. 'Guardiola doesn't talk too much about this. He doesn't say to the players why. Of course sometimes that's difficult for a player, especially when you are working well and training well. And especially when he speaks around the media and says, "He is good, he is good. He is the best player". But then after, behind you, he decides that you don't play. That's difficult of course.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3749557/Pep-Guardiola-benches-won-t-say-Stoke-dynamo-Xherdan-Shaqiri-prefers-life-Mark-Hughes-Manchester-City-boss.html

Eto’o, who played under Guardiola at Barcelona, insisted the current Bayern coach failed to speak directly with him, using teammates to relay messages, “He is a coward. Guardiola has never had the courage to say things in front of me. He passed by the players.”

http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/chelseas-samuel-etoo-blasted-former-coach-pep-guardiola-for-being-a-coward-who-did-not-respect-him/

So forget all these talks in the media about Kelechi playing well in training and all. He has said that he will have to leave the club before Kelechi get regular minutes. Don't be shocked if he has said nothing to Kelechi about why he has benched him 5 games in a row. That's the way he deals.

Why is the top striker in the Nigerian league, going on trials?

Trials are for youngsters that you are not sure of, not professionals.

It is an indictment on the quality of our league that they feel, he has to go on trials.

You love to be served facts right.... Oya... Deal with this... Stats for the time he made 500 career goals:

Courtesy of Yara Yara himself.... I got other matters at hand.



Key:

Left foot goals: 405 (81%)
Right foot goals: 72 (14.4 %)
Headed goals: 21 (4.2 %)
Other: 2 (1 chest, 1 hand) (0.4%)


So Is Messi predominantly left-footed or NOT??!!!!

I ALSO HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.... grin


Note: Iheanacho also scored with his right foot against Norwich last season in the FA cup, with his head against Southampton in the EPL and with his back against Swansea!!! So let the body parts goals count begin for Nacho too and see if it wont be something similar to Messi... smiley

That's 3 other body part goals apart from his 15 with his left. Messi's first 20 professional goals were possibly all scored with his left sef... Or maybe 18 out of 20. Now see the reflection on the 500 goals count by body parts.

thats absolutely funny, but before I go on, I am actually happy that you didn't argue the Sane/Moses Simon stuff.

Now let me ask, if I present a tapin infront of you, you can convert with your weaker foot and the stat collectors will immediately write it down as a goal scored using your weaker foot, but that's a tapin. On the contrary, you get the ball almost 30 yards from goal and you curl the ball with your weaker foot(curl, not strike) and it nestles perfectly, and you have done it not once, not twice, but each time the goal will be counted as just one goal scored with your weaker foot. If you look at the stats of the two players I used as my examples, you will declare that their weaker feet are identical but if you actually watch the games in question you can then judge conclusively. Watch Messi's goal against Villareal in 2014? Or 2015 and you will see just what he did with his right foot there, I can give you 15 other examples, now all I need from you is just a single clip of Iheanacho doing anything meaningfully difficult with his right foot, even if he hit the bar with his weak foot, just show it to me, I judge based on quality not the end product

Roma Coach Says Nigerian Full Back Nura Is
Very Quick & Technical, Reveals Debut Day




The manager of Roma Luciano Spalleti has
praised the quality of teen Nigerian full back Nura Abdullahi, whose path to the first team has been slowed down by issues outside football.

Spalleti who isn’t entirely convinced by the
performance of Bruno Perez and the injury to
Allesandro Perez means Nura could make the
right back slot of the team his own by next
month.

We gathered a tentative date of December 10th has been set as his integration day to the first team, while his debut could come in the game against Palermo barring any setback.


”His speed is impressive, he is like a breath of
fresh air, so quick off the ground and very
technical with the ball” Spalleti said of the 19
year old Nigerian.


Last season he underwent minor surgery to cure a minor heart defect, before picking up an injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season on his return from the surgery.


Scouted by Barcelona after an impressive
performance in the UEFA Youth League against
the B team of the Catalan giants, he has worked
his way back to full fitness after overcoming the
many "injury" demons that have slowed him down.

**Yawns** All this talk of yours is just plain bollocks....

I have given you the proof of Messi's LEFT-FOOTEDNESS SYNDROME AND showed you that Iheanacho is likely to take same path. Nacho's right foot goal was NO tap-in... Go watch that goal if you haven't.

AND Nacho's dummy pass to Sterling which set him (sterling) clear to give a simple assist/pass to Nolito in City's 4-1 win over stoke this season... Hahahaha.. That was his right foot again. Abeg... Several examples dey..... Try harder to put down Nacho's right foot... Hahahahahahaha....


As for Moses Simon and Sane... I like both players. So no need for me to dwell on them much.


So biko.... When judging on quality next time, judge with facts in mind. MESSI IS A ONE-FOOTED DEMON... THAT'S A FACT.


Mickael2:


thats absolutely funny, but before I go on, I am actually happy that you didn't argue the Sane/Moses Simon stuff.

Now let me ask, if I present a tapin infront of you, you can convert with your weaker foot and the stat collectors will immediately write it down as a goal scored using your weaker foot, but that's a tapin. On the contrary, you get the ball almost 30 yards from goal and you curl the ball with your weaker foot(curl, not strike) and it nestles perfectly, and you have done it not once, not twice, but each time the goal will be counted as just one goal scored with your weaker foot. If you look at the stats of the two players I used as my examples, you will declare that their weaker feet are identical but if you actually watch the games in question you can then judge conclusively. Watch Messi's goal against Villareal in 2014? Or 2015 and you will see just what he did with his right foot there, I can give you 15 other examples, now all I need from you is just a single clip of Iheanacho doing anything meaningfully difficult with his right foot, even if he hit the bar with his weak foot, just show it to me, I judge based on quality not the end product

that dummy follow too? Lolz, come on!!! He literally missed the ball and it went to Sterling, granted he did it intentionally but that wasn't a difficult at all at all. His goal against Norwich too wasn't difficult. We both love Nacho but let's reduce the hype, he will be a great player, probably, but let's not over hype him one bit

Sad to say but it looks like our dearly beloved Pep is a racist. I can't bet my life on it but I have heard that allegation from several of my reliable sources, right from when he was still coaching Barca. There's absolutely no reason why Navas should start ahead of Kelechi....gosh, Kelechi is even better than Nolito sef. So only Pep can tell us why he always leave the young on the bench, because Kelechi is definitely good enough to start for ManCity. And like I had said several times, Kelechi can play with Aguero because his favorite position is actually playing behind the top striker.

I think it's time for him to ask for a transfer.

O pari
