If Kelechi had gone to FC Porto, by now he would have become a better player than what he is now.

I just wonder what his handlers keep thinking day in day out.

I hope some one will not say Mbappe's performance is not as a result of blablablabla you all know what I mean.

Iheanacho must leave Man city for a Club than can guarantee him good playing time, if and only if he wants to play for the Super Eagles.

Super Eagles may not need an Iheanacho who keeps warming the bench.

My brother, this Iheanacho issue don taya me.

First of, I think Man city developed him the wrong way. Playing him as a striker was just selfish of the club because one aspect of his game was developed(goal scoring) while others were left hollow.

Watching him take on the world in UAE as a left-footed wing forward was delightful, just like watching Mbappe.

Many city just cashed on his goal scoring prowess and nothing more.

Developing him first on the wings would have pushed Iheanacho's game immensely, gradually he can be converted to a centre forward. That's the way to go. I give kudos to wenger and the coach at Maastrachi for the work they are doing with Iwobi and Nwakali.
I hope Wolfsburg does the same with Oshimhen.

For the sake of his development, I wish to see Oshimhen develop first on the flanks.

Thanks for that observation, to be candid with you I have not seen any meaningful development with Kelechi Iheanacho.

City only succeeded in delaying his development. City never had any clear cut goal plans for him.

It's quite unfortunate that we keep talking about abstract areas the dude has developed. We only seem to be consoling ourselves.

Hanibal:
Lately, goal.com wrote something about African players in China, and they described Mikel's start to life in China as troubled... Does anyone here have a clue what the "trouble" is.
Abi the chinko people too have started benching him?

What?
You mean u didn't watch that game.

Man City Coach Guardiola “Betrayed” Iheanacho – Nigeria Coach



Kelechi Iheanacho lack of game time at Manchester City is a form of betrayal by manager Pep Guardiola according to coach Manu Garba, the ex-Nigeria U-17 coach who gave him his breakthrough at the 2013 World Youth Championship.


Iheanacho has missed the last seven games of Manchester City. He failed to make the matchday squad on five occasions and was twice left on the bench by Guardiola.


Even the injury to Gabriel Jesus hasn’t worked in his favour as many speculated and Garba believes the 20 year old has not been fairly treated by the manager.


” He (Iheanacho) pulled out of the Nigerian team to the last Olympics in Rio on the orders of Guardiola, who also made the club sign an extension with him. Fast forward June to this day and he can’t get into the team”, Manu told Owngoalnigeria.com.


” It’s normal for him to feel betrayed by the man who made him sacrifice the chance to play at the Olympics with Nigeria. He is a good lad and will definitely prove people wrong in the future”.

I agree, u don't see aguero much in the box again. Always in midfield building up attack.
That's defiantly a 'pep style'.

Alampasu Yet To Regain Number One Spot At Third Division Portuguese Side



Super Eagles third choice shot stopper Dele Alampasu is still playing second fiddle to Bruno Pinto at third division Portuguese side Cesarense.


Alampasu is on a season long loan to the club from first division side CD Feirense, but after a fine start with the struggling team he has lost his spot as the first choice shot stopper.


The 20 year old kept goal in 8 games with no clean sheet to his name, and his case was made worst when he arrived Portugal late from a national team assignment with Nigeria, which paved the way for Pinto to keep goal and since then remained as first choice after a clean sheet in his first game between the sticks.


Despite the reported extension of his loan deal, he has fail to wrestle the number one spot from the hands of Pinto, who has kept goal in the four games they have played this year, while Alampasu is yet to play a game this year.

Rohr Warns – We Won’t Pick More Than Three Players Playing In China



Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has warned players of the senior Nigeria national team moving to China, that players based in Europe are going to be considered ahead of them when it comes to selecting of players.


Brown Ideye is close to joining Super Eagles duo of captain John Obi Mikel and Odion Ighalo in China, which will bring to five the number of Nigerian players who have moved to the Far East since January.


Overall there are now seven Nigerian players plying their trade in the big paying Chinese environment, and Rohr has warned that he will consider less players from the league.


” The Chinese League is not as backward as many thought, or it has moved forward from what it use to be. But Europe is still where I feel is best for players as the level is very high”, Rohr told Owngoalnigeria.com.


” We have to consider the players in competitive leagues before looking at the players in less competitive league, maybe three players from China would be ideal for our squad”.

I hope Iheanacho also picks this. This will improve his game and make it difficult for defenders to mark him. He will have more touches with the ball.

Rohr Hasn’t Abandoned NPFL Players – Salisu

[img]https://4.bp..com/-X-r9GV9oa4Q/WK027ZYiZ8I/AAAAAAAADG0/6_1XhFU0dRABATZs--8aB71M6fIQB2N0gCLcB/s1600/Salisu-Yusuf.jpg[/img]

By Augustine Akhilomen

Super Eagles Chief coach, Salisu Yusuf has confirmed that the players playing in the Nigeria Professional Football League still have a place in the senior national team.


He made this statement after two of the Nigerian clubsides booked their place in the round of 32 of the CAF Champions League qualifying stages, where Enugu Rangers held JS Saoura of Algeria to a goaless draw to qualify on the away goal rule after playing a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Algiers while Rivers United smashed AS Real Bamako from Mali 4-0 in Port Harcourt on Sunday.


Having managed teams such as Enyimba FC and El Kanemi Warriors in the NPFL, Salisu pointed out to Soccernet.com.ng that Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr has not abandoned the home based players despite putting more faith in the foreign pros.


“I don’t believe on this idea that the home based players have been abandoned by the Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr. I am of the view that some of the home based players will still play a major part in the team’s World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series,” Salisu told Soccernet.com.ng.


“Rohr has always love to give every players equal opportunity to play in the senior national team regardless of your club status and I am so sure they will be given a look in if they continue to improve their standard.


“Besides, you can observe that even the standard of the Nigerian league has improved, something which has caught the attention of the technical adviser and also myself. Mind you, I am the eyeball of the NPFL and I won’t be happy if we ignore the NPFL stars.”

The loan deal with Aston Villa was worth 1M with an option to buy[b] if he impressed [/b]
It's a pity your guy couldn't muster one single appearance at Aston Villa.

Jezz..... The more I dig, the more dirt I find on this guy. Its getting scary
No wonder Tim Sherwood is an object of ridicule in the football world these days. He won't be getting a decent gig with shitty transfers like this.

This never ending contention about Ilori not being a waste man.

The discussion has centred on Ilori with Forgiveness essentially thinking he is a quality player and Goldfish80 of the opinion which I support that's he is a player that has very little quality and has failed to prove his quality.
