IMO Villarreal are more likely to win the Europa league than get relegated.

I guess you won't be the first to call him out as an overrated Kid if.... God forbids, he fails to making first XI after the Move?! You call it a defeatist Mentality, I call it a realist Mentality.

Yeah..... It's good to be an Optimist, but I'm more of a Realist than an Optimist. I vividly remember when thegoodjoe was vehemently against Iheanacho leaving Man City, some of us called him Names, but Today he's vindicated.

komekn:


It is indicative and not conclusive, it can only indicate age range and not give you specific.

That's misinformation.

Without AUTOMATIC BIRTH DATA CAPTURE there is no way to officially substantiate age in Nigeria. That does not mean he is not 19. Just that we have no official government sourced corroboration.

Curtisaxel7:


If you suspect you have a certain illness, who do you go to? A medical expert, right?.

As I mentioned earlier, my mum is a veteran immigration officer. This kind of thing is what they deal with everyday. This is her field of expertise. Immigration officers are highly and specially trained for this kind of stuff....anybody who's ever been to an embassy interview can testify.

However, I must state that her conclusion was reached based on the very limited evidence I presented to her. One picture is hardly enough material for anybody to draw conclusions from. She may have a different opinion if she were to meet and interact with Chukwueze.

ChrisKels:


Chai like dis now, u no go dey give me my maximum for here again nah

About ur boy, my regards. Tell him not to depend so much on anybody, not even his dad. Tell him to hustle hard on his own, and see whatever help that comes from the side as a bonus. That will help him grow quickly and survive easily on his own.

On ur own, do well to be a good father buh never fail to make him understand life aint no bed of roses.

The street is military.

Cc krattoss anye oo!!

TheGoodJoe:
After watching the Manchester City vs Liverpool game, you can see how much work rate and intensity have become a big part of the modern game.

A player who played a big part in the Manchester City win was Bernardo Silva who covered every blade of the pitch in record time.

This is why I am against us building our game with conservation but work more on building a team that play all games with high intensity.

The Chilean side you mentioned go compare the intensity with which they played with top clubs in Europe.

The only time national teams can play with intensity close to club sides are at the advanced stages of major tournaments. By then the team would have built more cohesion having stayed longer in camp and played through the group stages.

You do not expect such intensities with WC or AFCON qualifiers where teams have barely 4-5 days in camp

And again I remind you that club Football is different from national team Football. Always have this vital fact at the back of your mind. Take this from the coaching angle.

Forget bro.... If KC is by chance still at city at the moment, he would be probably playing more with with Academy players

do4luv14:




the way arguments dey fly here ehn, wey we Neva even finish the first week of dis new year,

you go bin wonda, if nah December we still dey

Icon4s:


So because we do not have "official government sourced corroboration" we should stop playing football?Nobody has said the MRI is gives exact age. I know how it works relative to bone fussion and expected age of fussion. The MRI, with a reliability rating of 90%, is the best we have for now in curbing age cheating. So deal with that.

For those clamming Chukwueze is 25/26 or 22/23 I said it before and I will say it again that I have a valid system that tells me Chukwueze is about the age he claims. Anybody who feels otherwise and has valid evidence should Come and arrest me.

raindodger13:
Concerning Chukwueze, he's an amazing prospect but I'm wary of him jumping the gun and playing for a Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund so fast, the reason being that he would likely be relagated to the bench.
At the rate that his value is increasing he needs to constantly be on the pitch so that his young fiery play isn't quenched.

I wish him all the best. He says he wants to be the next Arjen Robben, but he's 19 with a high talent ceiling. I want him to aim to be greater than Arjen Robben ever was. Keep playing with that hunger and strive to add more skills to your weaponry Chukwueze, your are arriving but you're not where you could be yet.

TheGoodJoe:


I do not expect club football to be the same with National football, that is why long-term planning is critical to the success of great teams. Look at the likes of Spain, Belgium, Germany and France. For years, they keep working on a plan and developing it.

Thinking we can skip the hard work and eat the cake will not take us anywhere. We keep running in circles because we are not ready to do it right.

andrew444:


They are not firminho but they are better than solanke

Calum wilson is already an england international linked with a 25million move to chelsea, being an england international and playing for bournemouth says alot,i repeat my self those guys are better than him.

Dont even talk of firminho and salah, even ordinary origi is ahead of solanke at liverpool thats says alot, you think origi is a better playing than calum wilson a player that can score 14 or 15 epl goal a season?

He might fight it out with joshua king

But calum wilson cannot be bench at bournemouth

TheGoodJoe:


I totally disagree with you. We have lots of games and very limited upfront with Aguero and Gabby Jesus. Gabby had injured, so did Aguero. Nacho's challenge was blending with the system which would come with time. He might even play other roles as we have seen with Delph, Laporte, Zinchenko, Stones, Danillo etc.

We needed Nacho.

Utonwanne:


And what are the roles?

CM? LB? LW?

TheGoodJoe:


If Dortmund comes for Chukwueze seriously, he should take it with both hands. Their football is a perfect fit for his ability and the club gets it right with young players. Their recent handling of Jadon Sancho is phenomenal. They have played in a brave fashion for a very long time and will bring out the best in him.

Icon4s:


That longevity of coaching crew with a long-term program is what we always strive for. But what happens when the coach fails to get results? He gets fired and we move on to the next coach. I am glad the NFF has kept Rohr. Let's see how far he can push the team.

TheGoodJoe:


Guardiola is that creative and his methods bring out the best and develop players.

BascoVanVeli:


His contract expires in 6 months but his clause could be met today if he wants to go

andrew444:


Leave Ozil,he have issues

Assist are hard most times ,you might build up so many good goals and the credit will be given to the assister and the scorer.

Calum Wilson won't end at 9 goals

Utonwanne:


Guardiola is creative,,, YES

he prefers left footed,,, YES

He loves those that can hug ball and dribble....Thats where Nacho is lacking.....

It is not easy to improve Nacho

pyrex23:

Which europa

TheGoodJoe:


No one says it is easy to improve a player. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment. However, we have seen players improve steadily under him. From the likes of Sane, Sterling, Otamendi, Stones, Delph etc.

Working under such training environment would have clearly improved Nacho.

Icon4s:


O boy forget that thing. Not when the Gap is so much . Yours is even closer to my first son's than mine

Utonwanne:


Lack of Guardiola is not Nacho's problem.

Those ones you mentioned above are good even before Guardiola

TheGoodJoe:


Nacho was also brilliant before Guardiola and had some good games playing for Guardiola. Keep in mind Guardiola started Iheanacho in one of the Manchester Derbies.
