BascoVanVeli:they may not mean anything if you're older, but when you're a teenager, they mean a whole lot. Okocha became popular as a full adult, after coming through local football clubs. Iheanacho is an academy boy and City is his first professional club, for a club like City to buy an unproven teenager and promote him to first team, you know it's not beans. Can anyone here name another player from the 2013 U-17 WC that's achieved up to Kelechi? Where is tournament top scorer? Let's compare him to his set. Were Jordan Ibe and Dele Alli not in England's U-17 team that were absent? 1 Like |

Icon4s: what everyone has been saying which u confuse as hype is Iheanacho is a special talent and has a bright future. This thread is about following the development of guys like Nacho Awoniyi Success so of course we are all happy when we hear good news. Look we don't have to disagree all the time and we don't have to agree all the time either as long as we make valid points, 1 Like |

safarigirl: Well not exactly full grown adult but Okocha was 20 when he made his super eagle debut. My point is sometimes awards are wrongly awarded. Just like the last AYC Awoniyi was hands down the best player but he was overlooked. I never said Iheanacho was not a boss in his own right but at the end of the day even mad man get oga. I agree with everything you have said but we can argue till next tommorow i still won't agree that Iheanacho is better than Victor Moses as of right now. Maybe in 2 to 4 years but not now. I don't know alot Ibe but i know Dele Ali wasn't, England didn't want him until this year. |

BascoVanVeli:same thing. I didn't say Iheanacho is better than Moses now, I said Iheanacho is better than Moses was at his age i.e I'm comparing 19-year old Iheanacho to a 19-year old Moses, going by that, the likely deduction is that a 24-year old Iheanacho will do better than the currently 24-year old Moses. Ibe hasn't displayed any attributes to say he'll have a great career if he plays for England, then again England is a shiiit team anyway, playing for them would mean restricting one's career to the EPL cuz bench go sure for any English player wey comot from England to any top European team 1 Like |

Well said Sir. Honestly, Safarigirl is proving me right. I remember when I first met her in the u-20 thread, she was all guns-blazing **smiles**. Being painted black, called names and attacked from every side.... she was in "super-activated self-defense mode" *smiles* I defended her and insisted she carries a lot of good in her "fingers" and mouth coz I've been observant of "certain things". Joseph1013's U-20 thread and Safarigirl's obvious Brilliance, fearlessness and excellent deductive reasoning along with TheGoodJoe's crisp and detailed analysis (then using the moniker, "thegoodjoehunt3" or so..) were the 'major' reasons I joined NL on May 23 and NL Sports on May 24. Being the only lady in a section/thread full of guys is no small thing man. Then, several guys focused on the worst of her but I focused on the best of her. I knew she had it in her to be fearless and assertive in expression "devoid of tantrums". She's really been a darling and I commend her but that does not mean she won't keep stating her opinion in her fearless "Safari style" *Big Smiles* As for the "Expression of Opinions", you need not worry, I'm convinced that no one here will cross "the line" but hey! We'll keep making our stand known....*smiles* As for entertainment, I'm not here to entertain. I'm here to share knowledge, learn and rub minds with some of Nigeria's brightest pundits/minds/analysts in Football as regards our future prospects as well as our present because apart from my studies, I love the beautiful game and her history plus her Inspirational moments (same goes for basketball). *smiles* I'm also here to SPEAK THE TRUTH!

safarigirl: See that's my point Victor Moses was probably the best English player at that age bracket in terms of progression they almost mirror each other u could also add Aniechebe who was playing for Everton at age 16 but for some reason they flopped. Ibe to me isn't better than Yahaya any day of the week and yes you are so right English players can only play in England because there are rules that will force them on the pitch. |

SIASIA GETS LIVERPOOL LOANEE AWONIYI FOR RIO QUALIFIERS Taiwo Awoniyi to join Nigeria for Rio qualifiers in Senegal by Staff Reporter Tuesday Oct 06, 2015. 12:01 Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia has disclosed he has an agreement that Taiwo Awoniyi will be released by German Bundesliga 2 side FSV Frankfurt for next month’s Africa U23 Nations Cup in Senegal, which will serve as qualifiers for the 2016 Rio Olympics. “We got an agreement from the club before the player signed that he will be released for the competition in Senegal. So we expect them to keep to this commitment,” Siasia said. Awoniyi, who missed the recent All Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville so as to finalise his move to Europe, is on loan to Germany from EPL side Liverpool. The 18-year-old striker has been an unused substitute in Frankfurt’s last two league games. The coach admitted it will be difficult to get a full array of overseas pros for the tournament, but would be satisfied with a handful of them to strengthen his team. “We hope we could get three, four of them to add value to the team, but there will be no automatic shirt for them. They will have to come and prove they can improve what we are doing,” Siasia maintained. For the Rio Olympics qualifiers in Senegal, Nigeria are drawn in a tough first round group that has Egypt, Mali and Algeria with the top two teams progressing to the knockout stage of the tournament.

BascoVanVeli: My brother its as if u dnt really understand our arguments here.We all agree including my humble self that Iheanacho is a Talented player and has a bright prospect. However, where we have nt agreed are: 1. That phrase "he is not there yet". They believe Iheanacho even at his current game level is among d best in the EPL. I am saying he is nt there yet meaning he is not among d best yet. They can even throw stones at me if possible at the mwntion of that phrase" nt there yet". Were u nt the one in an argument abt Iheanacho vs Victor Moses? I mean on what grounds can u compare Iheanacho that has nt played up to 30mins of EPL witg Victor Moses. They even say Iheanacho can effortlessly walk into d starting 11 of Arsenal, Spurs or Liverpool.Some1 even said Iheanacho is better than Giroud and Walcott. I dnt know what u will call that but I call it "Hype"! 2. I chose to b a bit conservative on my expectations. Remember I say he is a bright "prospect". It is nt 100% certain that he will become another Ronaldo or Messi cos a good number if footballers both in Nigeria and d world started like this and dey ended up average or below average.Some even say Iheanacho is d best player dat has ever played d U17 & for that he will authomatically b d greatest of his generation.My take is let us see him enjoy more playing time we will better b able to place him in a class. And some say he is already in a class of his own he should nt b classed with other EPL players bc he will DEFINITELY be better than them. My brother I am a Nigerian like every one of us here. We all want d best for our national teams and dat starts with producing world class players. In my heart I believe Iheanacho is on his way to stardom bt henn several factors can make a once promising talent fail to live up to expectation. I dnt care if I am d only one here on this side of d argument bt I know what I am talking abt. Jst a little more of my CV: I have been involved in football development (youth level). I have understudied d root courses of failures of young talents to mature into d super stars that were expected of them. I have organised seminars on topics affecting youth developments at Diff academies. Iheanacho and a few others have attended my class. Trust me I am a lot into youth development, even though it is nt my full time Job.Enjoy visiting dis thread cos I like interacting with youths. I learn alot from them as I have learnt alot from this thread. Let us leave it there. |
