What is your point here. Courtois would never have been picked over Cech at Chelsea. Going to a smaller club has established him as one of the best keepers in the world.

emorse:
Taiwo, Obasi, Babel, Robinho, Pato, Fabregas, Juninho, Hernandez, Anderson, Lucas Leiva, welbeck, Higuain, Benzema, Cheyrou, Aliadiere, Vela, Eduardo. Were there guys ever played out of position? Is any of them as big as Messi and Ronaldo or any name on your list? Mind you, Gareth Bale started as a left full back. 2 + 2 is not always = 4 in football.

emorse:
He was given an opportunity to grow! That same opportunity you say Nacho will never get.

Robinho won the world cup, Pato played for AC Milan and did well. He was at the top. Welbeck was never a young prodigy, just hype. Anderson was played off his position. Higuain and Benzema played for Real Madrid at the highest level and scored loads. Babel was played off his position and dropped on the bench for no reason after a successful campaign. Sorry your points hold no water.

[color=#000099]Are you sayingNeymar should be dropped on the bench and not given an opportunity because some prodigies in the past faile
Bale did better when he was moved ti an advanced position. Shouod Real Madrid move Bale back to a left back position?

thegoodjoehunt:
What is your point? Arshavin wasn't signed as a young prodigy. Robinho has had a lively career. Pati had a lovely career at AC Milan. Benzema and Higuain experienced lovely times at Real Madrid. They were part of the team that made a historic 100 points in a season.

So what is your point? Have you forgotten Lucas Paizon at Chelsea? After being stellar at the U17 World Cuo, he joined Chelsea and won the reserve player of the year. He hasn't gotten a chance at Chelsea even though he is abundantly gifted.

Is that what you want for Iheanacho.

emorse:

What happened to Robinho after the world cup?
Pato did well 4 milan? Where's he now? How old is he?

Anderson and Babel were played out of position right? So was Bale. The diff is Bale got beta.
Can you compare Benzema and Higuain's performance before Madrid and now?
You can add Arshavin to the list.


Nope. Not at all. I'm saying you can never tell what will happen in football. Only history can tell right or wrong.

emorse:
Going to Porto or even chelsea cannot guarantee him anything. Only his abilities can.

Malakh: same energy u used in writing nyc could have been used to write nice, no give me headache this morning

emorse: One more thing. The higher the profile of your club, the higher your chances of getting noticed. Ronaldo won't be where he is now if he was still at Sporting Lisbon. No?

emorse:
Are these people as old as Pirlo, Lampard and their likes? How come they have suddenly waxed cold?


My point is Mikel never made a mistake. The fact that some graduates have failed doesn't mean others should not be allowed to try. You said so yourself.

Pipsland78:
You will soon laugh in super falcons.
Messi, Neymar, Mikel Obi and all the other talented footballers - and in deed athletes generally - were guided by their dads so long they remained minors. So why should Kelechi's own be any different.

aieromon: The boy is back with his family and they have agreed to settle for the Manchester City offer.

I wish him the best of luck.

Pellegrini and Carzola

Pellegrini and Riquelme

Pellegrini and Isco.

Pellegrini and Silva.

Pellegrini and Nasri.
Let us hope Coach Manuel Pellegrini takes interest in Iheanacho. Come on CITIZENS.

Lilimax:
I love the way Kelechi's father replied them.
He sounded like a good dad who wants the best for his son.

A wise son brings joy to his father, ...(Proverb 15:20).

thegoodjoehunt:

Mikel in the U20 was rated above Fabregas, Silva, Aguero, Llorente. Mikel was rated as the next Zinedine Zidane. In the finals against Argentina, the commentator said that the world can see the proof why Man Utd and Chelsea were fighting over him.

Alex Ferguson flew twice to Norway to beg Mikel to join Man Utd. Today we can't call Silva, Fabregas or Aguero and put Mikel's name.

Mikel in 7 years has never played his natural role for Chelsea. He might be playing games and earning money but he hasn't reached his true potential because of a wrong choice.

Pipsland78: The boy is too young to make such a crucial decision himself, his dad must guide him.

solomon111: If you think mikel is good enough to play as a number 10,then you must be deluded.
Mikel is not mobile enough to play as an attacking midfielder and mourinho saw it.
He is at best a deep lying playmaker in the mould of andre pirlo or xabi alonso which is what chelsea wants him to be,and which is what mikel himself should aspire to be.
Ferguson would have sold mikel a long time ago,just like he sold anderson when he could not justify the hype as the best young talent in brazil at that time.

Ferguson never sold Anderson. Anderson is still at Man Utd. How come Mikel flourished at the nations and confederations cup playing in an advanced role?

Belmot: The new messi vladimir weiss... Manshitty ended up dumping him

I wish him the best too. Let us hope Coach Manuel Pellegrini who has a track records of developing great creative mid fielders works and developed Iheanacho. The list of creative mid fielders who have worked under Coach Manuel Pellegrini includes Santiago Carzola and Isco who Manuel nurtured and groomed himself. Riquelme and now Silva and Nasri.

Let us hope Coach Manuel Pellegrini takes interest in Iheanacho. Come on CITIZENS.

isale_gan2:

That's interesting. Why did Pellegrini then practically bench Riquelme - one of the greatest play-makers ever - at Villareal in 2007, when he was still on top of his game? Also, I don't believe he was the one that developed him. Were they in another club together before, or did he coach Argies national team?

Just wondering. I trust Iheanacho will impress all his coaches and succeed.

solomon111: Sorry,anderson is still at united but has been relegated to the background.
He was just like mikel with all the hype,unfortunately he was not good enough.
Mikel would've suffered the same fate.
And btw,he didn't do anything special at the confederations club afterall we were only able to beat tahiti,and onazi was actually the very mobile and over-worked partner in our midfield thereby reducing the negative effect of mikel's immobility to an extent.
Onazi was doing the work of two players!!
mikel will never play as a number 10 for big football nations or clubs.
