Improve Aguero? grin

TheGoodJoe:


The truth is that you know little about Pep, that is why you can utter fraud. People who understand the depth of work it took to Transform City to one of the best passing teams in Europe, will not utter fraud.

Also those who understand the kind of work to improve a World Class striker like Aguero will not call Pep a fraud.

I think some of us are going about this league comparison the wrong way. I have been critical of some Nigerian players transferring to Turkey but the truth is that Turkish league is well ahead of Belgium Pro league.
My reason is that the Belgian league is structured more like Europe's development league, where clubs come around and poach talents from. Their buisness strategy is to get young players with the aim of developing them for unward sale for profit. This explains why the transfer record in Belgium stands at €5.5M.

Compared to Turkey, where their buisness strategy is to spend money and attract stars to their league. Their clubs are basically better financed, which is evident on their transfer record towering at €17M with tons of transfer in excess of €10M (recall Belgium Pro league transfer record stands at €5.5M).

Truth is that football players find Turkey more attractive than say Belgium because of the better pay package. I know some will have a problem with this, but we must understand that not everyone in Belgium get transfered to the Premiership and La liga.
Football is a buisness after all. Ask Neymar.

Nope, he's a defender.

They were saying the most expensive African player which was why I wanted to chip-in.
You got it wrong sir...it's obvious you didn't read the previous page where it was clearly stated as "most expensive African striker"

CHAN Eagles coast to 3-1 win against Kano Pillars feeders team


By admin -
August 4, 2017

CHAN Eagles coasted to an easy 3-1 victory over Kano Pillars Feeders team in their first test match preparatory to a final playoff against Benin later this month.

MFM FC forward Sikiru Olatunbosun and goal scorer Samuel Matthias from Gombe United shone for the home-based Eagles.

CHAN Eagles shot in front through midfielder Samuel Matthias after nine minutes.

Junior Pillars drew level in the 27th minute through captain Awalu Ali aka Mallam after he cashed in on a mix-up in the Eagles defence.

Alhassan Ibrahim ‘Muazzam’ restored the Eagles lead in the 42nd minute courtesy of a superb assist by Kingsley Eduwo, before the Akwa United forward got his brace a minute to the interval.

In the second half the Eagles made several changes bringing in players like goalkeeper Theophilus Afelokhai, Raphael Anyangbe, Nasiru Sani, Prince Aggreh and Ezekiel Golbe.

But even against a tired feeders team, they failed to add to the tally.

CHAN Eagles start XI: Ikechukwu Ezenwa – Osas Okoro, Chima Akas, Ariwachukwu, Stephen Eze – Afeez Aremu, Samuel Matthias – Alhassan Ibrahim, Sikiru Olatunbosun, Kingsley Eduwo – Mfon Udoh

Coach: Salisu Yusuf

Make una leave TheGoodJoe oh. @ bigblangston I can't wait for this drills talk to die down. Iheanacho was class in his own right when he joined City. And we will give the boy all the credits should he excel in Leicester.

But nothing wrong with saying Pep played a part in his development. In life even bad experiences make you stronger. If Iheanacho later comes back to say Pep helped him, let's accept it. If he says Pep almost killed his career, let's also accept it. So let's wait to hear from the horse' mouth.

Lol..i don leave am but truth to be told, I will miss Goodjoe talks about drills on KI. His drills talk always make me laugh every weekend, it got to a time I always look forward to every weekend to hear about DRILLS

A season or two under Guardiola learning the La Masia method is not endless. This was a big opportunity for the young Nigerian striker to learn some methods that helped mould some of the best players in the game.

Some Players go their whole careers with playing time without learning things like these. So all the talk of playing time was not the priority. The priority for me was Iheanacho being under a highly tactical coach, playing and training in a highly intense system and maintaining his fitness in a disciplined manner.

The playing time will come but the lessons is the most important during the formative years.



Haba, my friend. No wahala. You see all the world class, highly tactical coach we dey hear so, it must translate to trophies. Or else? Hmm ok I dey wait na.
What other lesson does a striker need than to put the ball into the net? See me o! Aguero that will get injured and still come to score hat tricks is the one developing under guardiola abi? Haba ... no kwament!

Countdown to the first match has begun. The one wey we enter so, Guadiola and all guadiolans will all be charged with fraud and malicious intent for this nairaland. All this development must sha translate to champions league trophy. No one should come make excuses if it doesnt happen. Me i dey wait.

I guess mayhap, u missed where we specifically wrote "players developments". I won't celebrate a move to Belgium by any nigerian player above 23years but i will that of a youngster (from 23 downwsrds) because i see the Belgian league as a developmental league.

So sir, we are saying same thing.

About my comment "if u playing in Turkey, u on ur own", it is for those players who have come of age. They ought to be finding their ways to atleast the french league not Turkish league of all leagues. They should up their ante and stop settling for less. Imagine Onazi to Trabz from Lazio, Imoh Ezekiel to Sumz from being a hot property in Europe when he was Batsuayi's partner in crime at Liege etc. U want me to celebrate these moves? No way. Omeruo was a better player at Liege bfor his ill-advised move to Chelsea that has reduced him to an u18 player at the age of 23. If he was patient enough, he Would have had a better development in Belgium than what he got in England. He completed his self destruction (sorry to say this) the moment he opted for stints in Turkey at the developmental stage of his career.

If u know as this Onyekuru's loan move to Anderletch dey sweet me ehh.

really happy for kelechi now this is his chance to show his true potential. funny comments about the gardiolanese bible but truth is every coach from youth level to pep have contributed to KC's development as a player.

happy to see joel obi getting his groove back i have no doubt if he can stay injury free he will be recalled sooner rather than later to the super eagles.

not a fan also of our players moving to turkish league unless they moving to galatasry, fenebarche and besiktas. outside those 3 everything else na wash.

omeruo, omeruo! omeruo!! guy if they need to wash your head let them do it oooo because a full international playing u18 is not funny ooo

Though I'm an Arsenal fan but due to the fact that Icon4s told wenger not to sign any players apart from Lacasera, I am turning my attention to Leceister City. I will be happy the three Nigerians get enough playtime together and get deeper understanding of themselves in which will help the Super eagles to cross of the hurdles team blending. With these three players involvement week in week out for Leceister, it will be a great advantage for the super eagles team

Good Development.

But how I wish the CHAN Eagles comprises of Non League players who are strictly between 17-22yrs bearing the fact that we don't have any age grade team. This could have been another opportunity to unearth and harness new potentials for the future. CHAN and WAFU would have been the best platform.

NFF could have stated it clearly to the coaches laying emphasis on talent hunting and team building for the future rather than what we are having... It'll even take a Miracle to have 3 new CHAN boys to join the Super EAGLES cos na their mate de there now. But instant grat no go gree...

Anyway I wish them luck.

Sir. Kennysville take am easy with Pep. He is on three year contract that can be extended this season if he can make the cityzens inviscible-which am sure he is working on. I'm just a bit skeptical about his philosophical football which I think might not just work in the EPL.

Well, I only wish he diss his philosophy and embrace true football and if he doesn't he will soon be shown the exit door. But am sure PSG will be calling then. There he can go and win everything he likes if possible the WorldCup with the french CLUB.

I would have called for his inclusion for Nigeria but it is better, he just plays for his club and prolongs his career.
