Lets hope he is really 21.... It's is mostly about money though..

TheGoodJoe:


I repeat, Fabian Delph was not the player we saw against Chelsea. I am a City fan and watched most of Delph's games, including his preseason games. He was not special. He was never the player to put Yaya, Fernando or Fernandinho. Today, he is first on my list. That is a big jump.

You have read Fabian Delph's words. You want to argue with him.

BascoVanVeli:


U can suger coat it all u want but playing Sterling at striker instead of Iheanacho is a slap in the face to all of us, even u.
In all the cases u have mentioned there were no other options, Sterling can never be an option because he cannot convert shi shi.
At best Pep is being arrogant when he leaves his only other striker off the bench. U need to follow us and think of the bigger picture which is Russia. At this moment some coaches would not invite him.

I believe you read Pelegrini's opinion about Delph after his signing. If you had watched him at Aston Villa enough, you wouldn't be this surprised about his performance the other night. He has always been a good midfield player.
I have seen him dominate games while at Aston Villa

Success is having a bad game.

that's to be expected. COs WALTER is not a gud coach, unlike Watford former coach who knows how to push and inspire the players,


he is the main reason, y IGHALO leave

4-0, chaiii

TheGoodJoe:


Not the wa he did that night. Against Chelsea, he was special Delph has not played that way before. It was a total transformation. I now want to see more of Delph. He is now a brilliant midfielder when it comes to controlling the game.

I have never looked forward to seeing Delph.

Mickael2:


this is absolutely sentimental! Ighalo lost form before Flores left, so you expect Maziri to continue playing him despite his bad form? Actually he kept on playing him yet he didn't improve

TheGoodJoe:


Iwobi had more of that and dipped in form. Ighalo too. So game time is not a guarantee. What game time shows is how good you are. What I am after is Iheanacho improving in quality. Then seek where to show the quality. Whether at City or another place.

TheGoodJoe:


That is from your perspective. Never was that a slap. Did Pellegrini slap me when he played Milner ahead of Iheanacho or has Milner ever played that role before? Sterling played top nine in some games for Liverpool and scored some cracking goals.

I have a flexible mindset of the game and give room for the coaches ideas.

As I said before, I a deep passion for Iheanacho. If you get that, you will know that I am thinking of what is best for Iheanacho, not defending Guardiola as you guys make it.

goldfish80:

Suprised all of you like Azubuike. I was somewhat the lone voice in the wilderness who made a call for his inclusion in the London friendlies.
Only icon79 accorded with my comment. Other forumites opposed my view because he was playing for a small club.

What wonders good publicity can do to perception.

TheGoodJoe:


You got to be kidding me. You think Oliseh got to his position as a Super Sport analyst and a FIFA accredited analyst by not knowing about talent. Na wa.

Icon79:


So being a Super Sports analyst makes you an expert in evaluating talents, eh?

It's funny because some folks made that argument when some of us opposed making him the Super Eagles coach.
They told us that Oliseh would be a good coach because he was a good game analyst on TV.
Well, we all saw how that played out.

O pari

TheSuperNerd:
Well.... like I have always said.... we cannot get everyone... and not all can even play for us. The NFF and Coach Rohr did their best. So let it be known it was he who said No to us. We wish Lookman the best. He has a bright future in the game. He has made his choice......
Note: I also saw this story carried by ESPN..... well... that is it shaa....

Everton Ademola Lookman Tells Gernot Rohr – I Want To Play For England Not Nigeria




Nigeria have been dealt a serious blow in their quest to lure Everton rising star Ademola Lookman to switch allegiance to the senior national team of Nigeria.

Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has succeeded in luring players of Nigerian descent born abroad to pledge their future to the Nigerian team but Lookman has turned down his approach.


While Ola Aina and Chuba Akpom have given their words to Rohr about representing Nigeria, Lookman who is also a youth international for England has confirmed his commitment to the Three Lions of England.


Lookman told Dan Ashworth, the FA’s director of elite development, that he wants to play for England despite interest from Nigeria.

He hopes to represent England at the U-21 European Championship, and also has high hopes that he will gate crash coach Gareth Southgate senior side before the World Cup 2018 in Russia.

Don't mind them, bruh. That's nairaland for you

A case in point, everybody is now jumping on Ndidi's bandwagon but when some of us were promoting him on this forum, most members laughed at us.

Aston Villa fans will laugh you out of the room if you told them Delph have never played that way before.
