I wonder what when the Iheanacho is not a dribbler became the point. Some said Iheanacho can not dribble. They have been proven wrong. I stated clearly that Iheanacho has the skills in his locker but does not rely on them.

The point is too simple.

Iheanancho is not a dribbler because he does not rely on his dribbling skills. That means he can dribble. The point is too simple.

I was speaking against the idea that Iheanacho can not dribble. The simple answer is he can dribble.


Even though I don't like coming into nacho argument because of d obvious reason, but in dis case,let me chip in something,from ur last statement,I doubt if any player on earth don't knw aw to DRIBBLE!,so definitely Iheanacho can dribble too,even G.k dribble players too,we av seen so many examples like dt,where gk would dribble player when he rushes out to clear d ball,but d question now is from IHEANACHO STYLE OF PLAY,can his dribbling skills be compared to d likes of ROBINHO,ZIDANE,OKOCHA,NEYMAR,RONALDO DELIMA,WHOM ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING GREAT DRIBBLING SKILLS?

nobody said he is a dribbler. What they said is he CAN dribble.


Same way some said he was no more than a poacher

Pro Kelechi: He can score from Outside the box too (He did)

They said he can only score with his left foot

Pro-Kelechi: he can score with other parts of his body.


So, you see, nobody is saying Kelechi is JJ, what they are saying is "He can dribble when he wants to"
Of course every attacker should have one or two tricks up his sleeves to get past his marker. But how capable, how brilliant, how confident are you in this regard?

And if you really have the ability to dribble at a high rate and instill that fear in them at a high rate, it will often occur that you will be willing and intent to confront opponents one on one and displace them with your skill. Every now and then you'll be seen taking on defenders toe to toe in a bid to embarrass, displace and beat them in front if the crowd almost with ease.

Do you sincerely think Kalu can pose a threat to V. Moses and Iwobi?

OK how do you see Sallah,is Sallah a scorer or dribbler?

Which kind question be this, every player can dribble but some does it better than others, definitely iheanacho is comfortable with the ball in his feet, I saw how he took the keeper out in Zambia and was in no rush and scored.

he might no be in thesame level with some player like mahrez and Moses but he does dribble

The question was for edi287 and he has answered me perfectly,so every player can dribble or better than others wasn't the issue cos that's normal thing for average football watcher to know but something brought up the question.

At this stage there is no room for a wild goose chase. It is not looking like Kalu will give Iwobi and V. Moses a run for their money in that starting line up.

I am not against Rohr inviting him. Rohr has the final say and knows what is best for the team.

But, I as an outsider, I don't see Kalu as a threat to Our starting wingers. Period.

HullDailyMail reports that Ola Aina was pulled off for Fikayo Tomori in the first half after the former's poor performance at Right Back.
Final Score, Bristol City 5-5 Hull City

Cc Komekn

Watched both players up close and personal and not just one game, Aina is considerably ahead of Tomori.

You said you need new faces that will pose the threats to our starting 11. I asked you to name them those new faces that will pose those threats and you only mentioned Kalu.

Are Musa and Simon also part of the "New faces"?

Nacho played as a creative midfielder for a long time. There is no way from his academy days to the U17 he would play that role without the ability to dribble.

Youth football is a far cry from the professional senior game.

From my personal first hand observations more than 70% of academy footballers end up within 3/4 years of leaving the top and any league football academy in non league and or the bottom clubs in league 1 or 2. And that is irrespective of race and or accolades won.


What i am saying is that past youth glories can not be used as a measure of current capacity or ability. That ability is only relevant if it has been progressed to the senior game otherwise its simply not there.

Well you are right but did you know that Awaziem spent good four years with El kanemi of Maiduguri team B and A before joined Porto in 2014.

And took him two years to break into Porto team A in 2016 due to injury to one of the defender and later moved back to team B before getting a good loan to Nantes.

Wow i didn't know that , he must have been very very young seeing as he is only 21 currently, i still think he has a lot to learn and his lack of pace will prevent him from being a top RB.
