U cannot blame the striker because they have been playing good without a main striker.

BascoVanVeli:


That's not true, Uche Agbo would already be at Watford by now. Isaac Success was highly rated in la liga.

TheGoodJoe:


No one is blaming the striker. It is the system. When suggesting a striker, suggest one that you believe will suit the system. Rodgers going from Suarez to Benteke was nothing short of comedy.

komekn:


One question would anytime in the EPL have bought the hitherto unknown Success for £10 million plus

Highly rated in La Liga in a struggling team possibly the main man at Grenada but nowhere else.

When a team in England but Adama Traore, why would a team in England not but one of the promising La Liga youngsters for £10 million plus?

Success ticked the right boxes and with consistent run, he will cause damage. Keep in mind that Atletico Madrid in recent years have been one of the top performing team in Europe. Why do you try to blind yourself from the truth so much? You are too sentimental. Success was going to Atletico Madrid. That is somewhere and even a better option than Watford. Granada refused to sell. Finito.

BascoVanVeli:


They would have had to pay more than Watford that's for sure. They see Success getting much better and being worth more in the future.

Btw a kid comes from an academy in Nigeria and not only is he the main man but saves his team relegation from La liga and all u can do is drop salt on him? Wehdone Sir.

Do you need to include the bold Part to make your Point?! This is what we are saying..... alleging fellow Forumites recklessly won't take us to anywhere.

You are a staunch Believer of Iheanacho's Potentials and City's Academy System. Also you can go to any Length (Sentiment) to defend him.

Hence, does that make you a blind and biased Analyst as regard to any Discourse on Iheanacho?!

[b]Same thing that crossed my mind when I was reading the article. The EDS is a failed project as long as the Execs of the club will continue touring the world for proven talents. Iheanacho was a brilliant addition to the team but if we keep buying forwards, then the EDS boys stand no chance. Tosin Adarabioyo is not putting Otamendi, Kompany or Stones on the bench soon and we are still expected to secure another top class defender. Even the likes of Mangala could not keep up.

Securing Kyle Walker and Dani Alves means no chance for Maffeo.

We are just helping young boys have a solid foundation but breaking into the City main team is now slimmer with Iheanancho's expected departure.

With the arrival of Bernardo Silva who I feel is one of the most gifted players in the game, Brahim Diaz needs to hunt for another team. Sane, Sterling, Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan etc are just too much competition.

Not Iheanacho not groomed to suit Guardiola's style. That is a weak excuse. Was Sterling, Sane and De Bruyne groomed for Guardiola? [/b]

TheGoodJoe:


I had to. I clearly stated that Atletico Madrid wanted to sign Isaac Success from Granada and he followed that with a statement that Isaac Success was going nowhere to promote his notion of Isaac joining Watford because of the relationship between Granada and Watford.

That is too myopic and a clear case of bias. I do not distort facts if I am explaining a true situation that concerns players I believe in or do not trust.

komekn:


When it comes to buying and selling players believe nothing unless it's said publicly and or it is written.

Were Athletico prepared to pay £10 million plus

This your tory eee no add up oh

Oasis007:


I understand your Point Bro, but that doesn't stop you from being friendly with your counter-argument.

Accusing him of being too sentimental and Blind to the Truth is childish - sorry to say!

We need to grow beyond calling Names just to make our Points known, noted and accepted!

For once I will say something I shouldn't.

I deh follow Walter Matterazi associate English but Italian speaking agent talk. De tory wen eéeeeeee give me different oh.

TheGoodJoe:


Too sentimental is not an accusation. It is a fact. He is ready to go all length to paint a promising player bad, even if it means ignoring facts. This is just to promote players he is affiliated to. Did you not see how he tried to rubbish Everton signing Onyekuru? It is a well planned act he does. If you bring a report of another player doing well, he makes backhanded remarks like, we are not sure of the player's age.

Sometimes when someone goes too far, we have to call it out especially when it is a clear case of bias.

The words you use most lethal finisher I agree with.

However, we need more unfortunately we do not have a Balotelli or a Lukaku, who can hold up play and bring others into the game or single handedly run the game and score.

Anichebe has an abysmal scoring record and Ideye has a better scoring record at club level. However, I would have Anichebe because he is just beast of a player to play against.

I actually think he may be able to do more at National team level than club level without the restrictions of Sunderland team strategy.

Optimistically I am waiting for the EPL to start and watching out for some Nigerian origin strikers hitherto unknown to announce thier presence.

BascoVanVeli:


Since when? Sorry only childish can be considered name calling to me.

Nah WA ooooo, anoda argument, for those questioning the work permit and transfer of players into BPL, as per special talent,


I know its cause of HENRY OYEKURU that brought about dis,
as per I.SUCCESS, even J.IGHALO,

those two doesn't play the require national quota to earn the transfer into BPL, , they are a constant for their respective clubs, a promising talent,

and more from Italy to Spain,, as well playing for their clubs regularly barring injury, they are ripe for EUmenbership,

plus the reason y GRENADE refuse to sell SUCCESS. To A.madrid, is cos they rate him highly, hence moving him around their family biz

sontoly2:


So they just spoilt that career

chrisooblog:
the players you listed below are no doubt exceptional. reminds me of the great rashidi yekini. that said what some commentators might have been trying to express is the fact that most of these target men might struggle based on the formation some coaches might deploy. ibra as great as he is/was couldn't quite cut it at pep's barcelona team. same for benteke who could not cope with klopp's intense movement centric tactics at liverpool. with due respect to costa and lukaku top clubs haven't exactly been falling over themselves to sign them. the big point man in all fairness is my ideal kind of striker cos in tight games where tikitaka might be failing you the big striker could manufacture a miracle.
the reason why i think people might not prefer the big striker option is that once service is cut of the guy might become a lame duck. talking specifically about the super eagles i also share the opinion that based on the players we have now and the best tactic that suits us (4-2-3-1)
we need a point man who can bring other players into action. iheanacho yes for now is our most lethal finisher but i feel he will be at his most dangerous in the AM/SS role . so who will play the point man role for us? ighalo beside the fact that his goal scoring record of recent has been poor his hold up play is not there. osimhen has showed promise let's see how he does at the beginning of the bundesliga season. anichebe i like has good hold up play will be an asset to his fellow striker but i have questions about his fitness (injury problems), goal convertion rate and his movement let's be honest victor is not the quickest or sharpest. ideye i like he ticks all the boxes for me except the goal scoring aspect but he could be a vital tool in our tactical setup

TheGoodJoe:


The way you come up with repeated blunders baffles me. What gives Favre more pedigree than Klopp? Nothing. You made that up to sell your fantasy.


The 2014–15 Bundesliga season was Favre's most successful season to date, with Gladbach finishing in third place and directly qualifying for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League group stage.

Talk of more pedigree than Klopp. Please Balotelli is scoring in Ligue 1. He was a big flop in the EPL.
