Title contenders Manchester City and Liverpool target 19-year-old Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze

TheGoodJoe:


Very tough choice but I say he goes to City and work with Guardiola. There would be a lot of competition there but his tactical acumen will improve greatly and his work rate will be phenomenal.

Also, it was Guardiola's former team mate, Emmanuel Amunike who discovered him. So Chukwueze has already played with similar ideas tactically. Coupled with coming from Spain where the tactics are similar. City to me is the best choice for him.

Hanibal:
City!!! Under Pep Guardiola?... If he joins city, that will be the beginning of the end of his career.
There's no way Pep is going to play him... He won't even make match day squads, he'll get "drilled" on the training ground for a full season, and he'll get so "good" that he won't even be able to dribble past a cripple man anymore and then be sold to Huddersfield town, stoke city or Leicester city.
Samu should for the love of God go to a team where he'll play or stay put at Villarreal. Iheanacho was drilled for a full season and his life was never the same again, we knew the player he was, now we know the player he his.

The only Nigerian player that can fit into city is Nwakali, the guy can pass all day

edi287:

Kelechi or his older brother?? I heard he rated Chidi back when he was in city.

BascoVanVeli:


Did arsenal release Ovie Ejeria? Didn't they call him back? There have been tons of kids called back by their clubs if you say this is strange then you are lying. This is the time that youth competitions are getting hot a Chelsea youth won't be looking for a competition to play in because they are there enough.

Big scandal surrounding Aigbogun. I hear from reliable sources that players are paying between 2 million and 10 million to join the under 20 team to the WC. It is really tragic what i have heard.

ANS is reporting it as well.

Humility017:


Bro. ..I am not surprised....
these men are stinky corrupt.

edi287:

Honestly I'm starting to think Pep suppresses individual brilliance in players. He turns them all to system players and they don't get the necessary freedom some require to thrive.
He might be good for Samu at this young age to get the fundamentals right - but I'll prefer he plays under a manager like Klopp.
He's better off in Villarreal sef if we're being honest.

TheGoodJoe:


Yes, Pep suppresses individual brilliance but it also aids in matured team work in the players. At such, they become better players working towards a common goal than players playing to the gallery.

That knowledge improves the players tactical acumen, which in turn makes the player more efficient.

Chukwueze is Mahrez type of player and you know what Pep does to those who shoot instead of pass

edi287:

True but some players require that freedom. I think it's one of the reasons Mahrez isn't doing well.
It's sort of similar to Van Gaal. Both like working with young players too.

Odunayaw:
Makes everything Robotic, crap if you ask me...

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho was eager to leave City for more money. He was not hungry for the knowledge he could get from Guardiola which would in turn make him better than he already was.

Rodgers has already explained that Nacho will flourished if giving a run of games, which unfortunately he has not gotten.

Luckily, he is under a very bright manager in Rodgers and I hope he can keep his head down and soak in as much knowledge as he can. The game time will come.

TheGoodJoe:


Actually, I disagree with the comparison between Chukwueze and Mahrez. The challenge Mahrez is facing is that he does not play with pace, which has been instrumental in the success of Sterling and Bernardo Silva. To a less extent, Leroy Sane.

Pace is what Chukwueze has and if Pep refines other parts of his game, we would have a monster.

komekn:


Arsenal released Ovie because they didn't tate him.

He went to Liverpool at 16 claimed position and the rest is history. He has played a few first team games but very far from being a regular.

As far as l know Arsenal did not call him back.

TheGoodJoe:


The robotic system is actually the brilliance. They break down the complex nature of the game into a simple formula.

Under 20 player,

19 year old Henry Offia..

God help us.

do4luv14:



excuse me , he leave city for more money?,

hmmmmm oga sufre oooo

Earthquake3:


Pep does not like pace why do you think Sane is almost always on the bench, why do you think Sterling changed his style of play to passing type

Pep likes passing the ball into the net, Chukwueze is also a little selfish which Pep doesn't like to hear

Odunayaw:
Yes, if we were playing Rugby, hockey or some other sport!

Football is only complex to those who worry too much. This is not mathematics or some weird fluid mechanics.
What's football without individual brilliance?
