TheSuperNerd: Haha the way u guys praise Iheanacho it jst seem as if he is better than the rest of the City squad. I like the patriotism. Some one has already said he will turn out to be like Ronaldo. I hope and pray so.I follow Nigerian players youth development and i have over the yrs learnt alot on my expectations on our youth players .In 5-10 yrs time some of u would probably b reasoning d way I do. I hope Iheanacho turns out to b next Ronaldo as some1 said. |

Icon4s has started again with his elementary analysis. I wonder why he chooses to continually pick on my boys, Awoniyi and Iheanacho. He doesn't even care about other players, just the 2 boys that are the faces of Nigeria's new generation football. I no wan talk sef, today is Sunday 2 Likes |

TheSuperNerd:u read my mind on this issue. Was about saying d same thing... N to those saying arsenal n liverpool 'll be a home for him if he/club decides going/sending him out on loan-i doubt t-cos city 'll never make such a mistake by adding to dia enemies armoury. Totteham 'll do him good. -Just my take- |

Please, tell me the young Nigerian talent that failed that makes you believe a young Nigerian has no chance. Listen to Pellegrini. Pellegrini said Iheanacho is the future of Man City. Do you think Pellegrini does not know what he is saying? Icon4s: |

AIG07:Yea, a while from sports section, and its like I am gaincoming now. Although, I don't possess an immaculate reminiscence of your moniker, but I can decipher that you are a sports pundit. And that is logical and palatable. I still remain resolute to what I formally opined, Because I predicate that sometimes, people(man city) can resort to being a pragmatist of what is unprecedented and unpredictable dispensations. Besides, Swansea City, of which I earlier recommeded is not a bonafide rivalry to Man City, according to a personal contemplatory appraisal resulting from my calibration. So my assumption on this particular premise remains stationary. Thanks in profusion. Apologises for the deferred reply. my phone was in a recumbent solitary state before now. |

Icon4s:I'm trying to stop the rift, you're the one propagating it. If each person decides to take your dislike for Iheanacho and Awoniyi seriously, it will end in insults being thrown around. None of your comments have portrayed maturity, so don't use that term as the ground to say whatever uninformed crap you feel about those boys and think you can get away with it. You're the only person constantly attacking our boys here UNNECESSARILY and you expect people to waste arguments on your spiteful words? You reduce their efforts to rubbish and then claim you support and wish them the best just so nobody will call you a hater, we may overlook some things, but don't confuse youth for stewpidity. We're not stewpid. The sooner you stop throwing immature jabs at 2 teenagers, the better we'll get along here sir. Thank God today is Monday |

Victor Moses has pulled out from the upcoming friendlies now I'm waiting for the right thing to be done. Either Success or Iheanacho should be called to replace him or even both cuz I read our home players can't get visa. 1 Like |

blueinsa he has the main ingredient for all great players and it's bags of confidence in his abilities simon23 he reminds me a lot of sturridge in that he ain't afraid to try things....hopefully he'll get better and better The Northern Baptist better than Bony. He got the moves like Sturridge, he got the moves like sturridge, he got the moooooves like Sturridge blinkblue He'd have scored 4/5 this season if he'd been given the same amount of game time as Bony in my opinion. Not a slight to Bony, he's just a tremendously good, young player therewasatime from what I have seen and heard of him, he's not a pure number 9. He's more of a silva'esque mix of 9 and 10. Extremely calm and composed with the ball at his feet. I felt he got bullied once or twice today, but overall intelligence is commendable Manchester_lala pretty convinced we re-signed Sturridge today bluemoon98 did more than bony did when he came on(this guy is a little biased towards Iheanacho) donachieandchadvalleybigleague I really want to see Bony do well, but my feeling is Nacho is currently the better choice over Bony if Sergio is rested or injured. He offers more generally, but movement stood out for methese are the few I painstakingly got. Make una appreciate.

safarigirl: What do u term throwing of jabs in this context? That I have the view that d boy is talented but is not there yet and needs time to mature? And u call that hate? Pls I dnt want to have any rift with any one on this forum. See our arguments here as a game and nt as if we are here to crucify anybody or throw "Jabs", as u call it, at any player. Just take things easy we are not in a Law court. Did u go for lectures today? |

Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by Icon4s(m): 11:21am On Oct 05, 2015 |
TheGoodJoe: I am not saying no Nigerian player can reach the pinnacle of world football neither am I saying Iheanacho cannot be the best in the world. And I think folks here have largely misunderstood what I have been saying all along. What I have been saying is: Kelechi Iheanacho is a talented player but he is not there yet. And that is what u guys dont want to here, that phrase "not yet there". We need to see him more of him in action. He needs more playing time to build up the stamina, strenght, skills, pace and what have for an EPL player. That is what i have been saying. Except u guys are twlling me he already has all those enough to b among d best in d EPL.U guys are free to say he now belongs to d class of Aguero , Nasri, Da Silva and co. But that is nt what I see yet. This is jst 2months into his first EPL season. He has barely played upto 30mins put together so there is no way I would want to rate him as high as d other regular, Older City attacking Midfielders yet. If you saw the pre-match analysis ahead of the Arsenal vs Manu game, one of the analyst was asked to comment abt the comparison being made of Anthony Martial and Thiery Henry. And he simply said he needs to see more of Martial especially against serious oppositions. U guys are really misunderstanding me. On Nigerian talented youth players that never rose to their full potential u know d list is so long but I will jst name a few. 1. Gbenga Okunowo was d 1997 flying Eagles captain. A talented defender that got signed by Barcelona in 1999/2000. I dnt think he played more than 2 seasons before he was sold out. He featured in our defence at 2000 AFCON and dat was d last. 2. Batholomew Ogbeche and Christian Obodo were members of the 2001 Flying Eagles. Obodo who was nicknamed bundle of skills was expected to b d next JJ Okocha. He signed for Peruggia of Italy from I think Enugu Rangers. Expectations were high on him and he struggled until wNigerians gradually turned there eyes away from him. His compatriot Ogbeche was a talented and athletic striker signef by PSG in 2001. He made the 2002 WC team due to some flashes of brilliance in 2 pre-world cup friendlies. Remember his famous bicycle kick that rocked d cross bar? 4. Joel Obi was simply sensational as teenage Midfielder at Inter-Milan. He was a spectacle to watch in d midfield. U and I know wherw Injury has kept him now. 5. Obafemi Martins. Though i would say he had jst a descent or fair career, he was expected to rival Rasheed Yekini's goal scoring record. U and I know how Martín. s finished. 6.Rabiu Ibrahim. Another exceptionally talented Midfielder that had the statue, passing and dribbling skills like Okocha.U know where his game is today. 7. Victor Anichebe: He was an 18yrs old starlet at Everton around 2005. Nigerian sports enthusiasts celebrated his switch of nationality. Hopes were high and where is Anichebe's game today. 8. Victor Moses. Though i still personallt feel he still has a lot to offer. But going by how this young man was rated like 3yrs ago by now he should b competing with d likes of Alexis, Håzard, Da Silva and co. 9. Others: Haruna Lukman, Uche Nwofor,Macauley Chrisantus, Ganiu Oseni, Rabiu Afolabi, Julius Aghahowa, Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi. I am not saying that Iheanacho will definitely thow that path. I am jst saying lets see him play more games before classifying him among the best in the EPL. I expect some of us here to come out and tell me all d players I mentioned are not as talented as Iheanacho. |

Icon4s: Abeg leave that home based talk do u work for the league or something? Who playing in Nigeria is even experienced enough to park Victor Moses car? Our league is whack and everybody but you knows that. I understand being patriotic but at some point you have to face the facts. European clubs are not model agencies they don't sign these guys because they look good they sign them because they are the best simple and plain. |

U rite Sir. This may be one of West Ham's Subtle tricks to hold back Moses. They did same with Diafra Sakho in the Senegal vs. West ham war. But it's ok.... Let it go. At least he should be available for November's world cup qualifying double-header. BascoVanVeli: |
