Yeah... Nacho could. But mehn!!! Won't be easy seeing pass Alli for this season.... Alli is also on fire!! And he's getting more game time and making the most of that gametime too.... Dele Alli is a super contender to start in midfield for the English Three Lions at Euro 2016. Nacho should just keep doing his bits even in the face of less gametime compared to fellow top youngsters..... Nacho's training with the best in the league. He could be in contention for such award at the end of the EPL but Dele Alli is already a Solid favorite for that award. And don't forget the much talked about John Stones of Everton FC. Martial has been quiet.... That's odd considering that he started like a "whirlwind" #smiles Anyway, Nacho's rapidly coming into the "Zone" of super performance in the Big leagues. Next season under Pep Guardiola (most likely) @Man City will see Nacho flourish much more than we're seeing this season..... I strongly think so. Or rather, I know so.... #smiles Happy sunday, Sir BVV.... BascoVanVeli: 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd:Yes o! Happy happy sunday! This could be interesting Dele Alli ticks all the boxes but Nacho will get more opportunities to have big moments seeing as his team is still active on all fronts. If they happen to win at least 2 trophies and he plays a part in both then it gets a little more complicated. I don't expect him to be on the bench much longer he seems to be giving the manager exactly what he wants. The prayer is that Pep should want him and if he does Nigerian football will never be the same again. I actually saw Douglas Costa play a couple times last year and that is not the same monster playing for bayern. 1 Like |

safarigirl: As soon as Nacho came in, we looked sharper and we were more fluid with the ball. I think Pellegrini's 4-4-2 system failed last season because of the amount of players in the club that fitted the system. Also, the injuries last season were a lot. This season, with Nacho, we look better and it gives Aguero more room to express himself. I see Pellegrini switching back to the system and making Nacho play more regularly. It will help Aguero get back his form and make us better. As for Nacho, I see he is building more strength and reducing his skills. This, I do not like. Nacho should work on bringing more of his skillful side, Just as Payet did for West Ham. |

[b][size=14pt]Manchester City's Kelechi Iheanacho should not get disillusioned by lack of chances[/size]  Kelechi Iheanacho has a big future with Manchester City and should not get disillusioned by his lack of chances in the team. Manager Manuel Pellegrini believes that the teenage sensation would be in a “very wrong way of thinking” if he was to start getting frustrated after making one Premier League and two cup starts this season. Kelechi again showed his burgeoning talent by going on as a substitute and helping the Blues snatch a 2-2 draw at West Ham – where his link-up with Sergio Aguero was one of the highlights of the day for City. In fact, Aguero and the youngster seem so much in tune that you start to wonder whether the Blues have finally found a striker who fits perfectly with Kun. Aguero usually looks more deadly as a lone striker, with nobody cluttering his space. His partnerships have all failed to last – Carlos Tevez was too similar in some ways, Edin Dzeko was also a lone beast, Stevan Jovetic could not get off the physio's slab enough and Wilfried Bony has also been injured or ill for long spells. But Iheanacho thrives in the space that is left by defences anxious about Aguero, and he continually picks his senior partner's run. The danger is that Kelechi – who must know he is doing well but still finds himself back on the bench – gets fed up and starts asking for a move. Pellegrini gives Iheanacho instructions at the derbyPellegrini gives Iheanacho instructions at the derby Asked by MEN Sport whether there is a danger of Kelechi becoming tired of not getting a run in the side, the Chilean replied: “Every time young players have the chance it's important they take that chance and show why the manager has done it. “Every time he has played this season he has done very well, so of course he will have more chances, and we will continue to depend on his performance. “He would be in a very wrong way of thinking if he was to get disillusioned. “He should not be disillusioned, because he is just 19 years old, he is involved in a lot of games and is doing good things. Kelechi has scored five goals despite only making three startsKelechi has scored five goals despite only making three starts “He must continue working very hard because he has top players in front of him.” That is the crux of the problem – to include Kelechi, the manager either has to drop one of his attacking stars or weaken his midfield. David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne have both been flat lately, but are both significant players for the Blues, while Jesus Navas has been one of their better attacking options lately. At least Kelechi has been getting more playing time recently – as well as his start – and goal – at Norwich in the FA Cup, he was given 33 minutes against Palace last week and a lively 14 minutes at West Ham.[/b] |

joseph1013: The through pass Nacho gave Aguero in the last game was pure class. Sad Aguero failed to take that opportunity. That would have been one of the highlights of Nacho's season. It is nice to see Silva and Yaya Toure put faith in Nacho. They looked for him most times they got the ball. |

[b][size=14pt] REVEALED: Osimhen's pastor told him to reject Arsenal for Wolfsburg [/size] [img]http://isoccerng.com/files/thumb/af05878cc2996ad/614/330/fit[/img] By Blessed EKENE Victor Osimhen has sensationally rejected an offer from English giants Arsenal and would be joining German club Wolfsburg Isoccer can reveal. The youngster, who won the Fifa U17 World Cup in 2015 as well as the golden boot while breaking the tournament’s scoring record with 10 goals, has been linked with various sides including Arsenal. However, according a source close to the teenage sensation, he rejected the chance to join the Gunners against the advice of his representatives after consulting his pastor on which club to choose. Isoccer gathered that his respresentatives, the Stellar group, who are also the agents of Gareth Bale, strongly adviced Osimhen against moving to the Bundesliga citing language barrier and the fact that Nigerians hardly succeed in Germany, with Macauley Chrisantus who won the golden boot at Korea 2002 as a very significant example. Osimhen, who was named the youth player of the year at the Glo-CAF awards, said he had visited the Wolfsburg training complex in Germany. The 16-year-old striker also revealed that he intends to stay at the club as long as possible. He told reporters: “I have visited the team in Wolfsburg and with the promises the coach made to me when I visited the arena, I think Wolfsburg is my destination.” He added: “I’m going to stay at Wolfsburg for as long as the team can keep me.” Osimhen was named second most valuable player at the Fifa U17 World Cup behind teammate Kelechi Nwakali. He was called up to the Nigeria U23 side that won the U23 Africa Cup of Nations in Senegal last month and is poised to be part of the Olympics-bound squad. isoccerng.com/news/2016/01/revealed-osimhens-pastor-told-him-to-reject-arsenal-for-wolfsburg [/b] |

TheGoodJoe: You know, I had been wondering how Stellar group would recommend a German team to an African player. I know that Germans have a deliberate program from cradle to adulthood for their players. They had being grooming the team that won the 2014 World Cup since at least 6 years ago before the mundial. So how Stellar then advised him to go there as a young player coming straight from Africa was confusing to me. Now I know his Pastor was the overriding factor and I could not but laugh. Arsenal would have been perfect for him in my opinion. If he is outstanding, he might even push for the first team, for I cant see a World Class striker at Arsenal. What an opportunity for him to stake his claim especially with the on-ground presence of a group like Stellar. Well, again, I can only wish him the best! There are always probabilities for unexpected things to happen. 2 Likes |

The game at Craven Cottage was heading for a draw until Abel Hernandez converted a spot kick which was won by the Anglo-Nigerian in the 80th minute. “Away wins can be very hard to come by in this division, so to come away from places like Queens Park Rangers and Fulham with victories is very pleasing,” said Odubajo to hullcitytigers.com. “Fulham really tested us on Saturday and they’re certainly one of the toughest teams we’ve played against. “But the game showed that we’ve got that fight within our squad. If we can’t get an early goal, we’ve got that shape where we’re not going to concede silly goals.” After 28 rounds, Hull City, who have Nigeria international Sone Aluko and Chuba Akpom in their ranks, lead the way in the second - tier with 56 points garnered followed by Middlesbrough, who are a point behind and have a game in hand. http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=17680 [/b] 2 Likes |
