I did not indict anything. Simple again. In the game against Australia, Sanchez was not the top striker. That was the opening game of Chile at the World Cup. When the attack did not deliver, Sampaoli pushed Sanchez front.

If there was a striker like Ivan Zamorano at Chile, Sanchez will not play top. When the strikers are not delivering, the coach can push Sanchez forward, just like the case at Arsenal.

If there was a top striker delivering at Arsenal, Wenger will not push him forward. It is still the same thing and images show this.
In the 100 games Sanchez has played for Chile, who has been the no9 in those games? I can bet my car keys you can't mention any name, if not Sanchez. I dare you

Infant sensations peak in their teenage years. Fabregas, Bojan, Saviola, Dos Santos, Wishere, David Bentley,Fred Adu the list is a endless am sure you can draw a parallel line between these players.
Xavi was not a teen sensation. Being a good player in your teen years is not the same as being a poster boy at a very young age.
Was Messi an infant sensation?

Messi was the third best player in the world before the age of 21-22. He was an infant sensation who fulfilled his potential.

pessimism isn't a sexy trait on anyone dear, neither is misogynism

The stats speak for themselves. 20 goals and 10 assists for club and country in about 1500 minutes of play, even the likes of Rooney and Lukaku didn't have those stats at 19

You want to convince me that the La Liga Breakthrough player of the year who was a teenager is not a TEEN SENSATION.

As regards, Kelechi Iheanacho, he should just keep working hard and stay focused. Anderson of Man utd was also one of the best at under 17 but never reached his potential.

Sanchez might have been unknown at under 17 but he is currently on the level of the world's best players. Kelechi has the potential to be as good or better. Right now, it is just potential.

Iheanacho is a one of the top performing teenage footballers in the World and he is not at his PEAK. Does that mean he is not a Teenage Sensation?

In his recent interview, he said he has a lot to learn. So I see him working hard. Ando's crash was frightening. When you think of Sanchez and Aguero over taking him by miles.

Anderson wore the ten shirt for Brazil in the Copa America as a teenager before he joined Manchester United and they won the cup.

Sturridge is a better comparison, Anderson was a flop after his first season at United

Not saying I agree with goodjoe, but Messi, and many others, are proof that infant sensations do not always peak in their teenage or early twenties.

At the risk of sounding like a sexist I have to say that the lady comparing iheanacho (I love him, no homo) with Sanchez is doing so purely on the influence of emotions and her raging estrogenic hormones. That's probably the only explanation for that utterly baseless comparison.

Iheanacho is already a child star so to say. He's a poster boy for both Man city and Nigeria. However, the next few years will tell us if he peaked too early or not.

This is a terribly rude comment... Many of us males make ridiculous comments here and are not accused of raging hormone.

I do not see capping Ovie as rushing him. People make that mistake. That Tanzania game was a good opportunity. Three minutes to go, field him and know we are done with that.

We still have a chance to do it. It is time we cap him. Not rush him into the Super Eagles squad. He can go back to his development but he increases our pool of top quality players.

Not a bad view bro, but if my memory serves me right, owngoalnigeria.com had an "exclusive" that he and Akpom were under consideration for the Tanzania tie but while Akpom's nationality had not been sorted out prior to that game, Ejaria's case was different because he was still recuperating from the injury he suffered during the preseason.

You missed her point. She compared Sanchez at 19 years to Iheanacho today. I say Iheanacho is the better player based on that comparison. I watched Sanchez, Aguero, Coentrao, Pato, Willian, Renato Augusto, Freddy Adu, Pique (WTF), Sunny Stephen, Bruno Gama etc at WYC 2007. Iheanacho is better than Sanchez at 19.

Thank you. I forgot that detail of his injury. That explains why he is not capped. I hope we cap him soon.

you sound daft, you don't sound sexist

Someone must have repeatedly hit your head against a wall when you were a child for you to conjure such gibberish. If you have nothing sensible to say, keep your idiotic opinion to yourself next time, lest you run the risk of exposing your level of ignorance in public

Now, has anyone here bothered to vote for that Golden Boy scam? Or y'all are waiting for Rashfraud to snatch it? All the Arsenal fans here, una no fit help Iwobi?

Anyway, if you need an update, AC Milan's goalie currently has the most votes, hopefully he takes it and saves us the horror of listening to United fans run their mouth about Rashfraud

Mind you, our next games are world cup qualifiers, and u suggest we sacrifice a seasoned midfielder for a rookie in the match day squad? I'm not sure Rohr will be ready to take such risk considering his mandate.

I wish it happens though, the boy is good.

trust me ma'am your insinuation that Iheanacho is somehow as good or better than Sanchez portrayed you as one humongously daft person. Anyone with a little knowledge of the game of football will agree with me. I was just being kind when I excused that on your emotions and hormones.

We can do it. There are a lot of times some players of the squad are sure will not play. Just one place from one of the qualifiers squad. Capping is done in competitive game.

U are better than that bro. Quit the battle it is too puerile. Waging a war online against a woman what do u stand to gain?? just have to overlook some things. Was funny to read her calling a pure talent like Rushford a fraud just for the love she has for Nacho but u shouldn't have been that uncouth to show dissatisfaction.

Being better player when compared to them at the age of 19 does not mean he will have a better career than them. A lot of players where better than Xavi, Pirlo and Iniesta at 19 but these guys have triumphed and lasted the test of time when it really mattered. I hope you know
