The dude is an attacking midfielder....saw him first at the under 17 world cup where he emerged best player then I concluded he is the next big thing in Nigeria football...Mexico defence was not the same again after he tore them apart in the opening match and in the finals....Manchester City should not convert him to a striker...he should be given space to operate behind the strikers...that's where his strength lies 2 Likes 1 Share |

Iheanacho should follow the likes of Messi and Muller by playing as a trequartista or false nine striker. 1 Like |

Excuse me OP, but. As far as I can remember he was never used as AM by Manu, he was used as a Right-Winger, that's same thing as Right Forward per say; Him Being Used as a striker For ManC is just about right 4 me But I think in time he will eventually develop into a 2nd striker or link man or supporting striker that can play anywhere in the forward position including advanced mid field position , a perfect example of that position is Rooney He is not a Midfielder naturally, even when he played in those youth competitions he was way too advanced and hardly contributed in tackling & midfield Activities He is not a born no 10, we can only hope he developes into That But for now I will enjoy his striker position.. By the way he needs to be called in any upcoming SE friendlies from now... 1 Like |

MAY THEY NEVER KILL IHEANACHO LIKE THEY KILLED MIKEL IN JESUS NAME. A GOALKEEPER HAS HIS TALENT TO KEEP AND A DEFENDER ALSO HAS HIS TALENT SO AS EVERY PLAYER , NOT THAT THEY CANT PLAY ANY OTHER ROLE BUT THE BIBLE SAYS YOU SHALL GIVE WHAT IS IN YOU. IF STRIKING IS HIS FUTURE HE WILL FIT IN IF IT IS NOT MAY GOD CONVERT HIM TO HIS ROLE SO THAT HE WILL BE VERY USEFUL TO HIS PEOPLE. |

Giving him a free role is better. He shdnt be caged. He is too gifted 2 be limited. |

That young man is an Attacking midfielder, just like Gotze, Man City playing him as a striker is not a problem, if he does well as a striker, nice if he doesn't, he can always return to his AM role. |

TheGoodJoe:Aguero drops deep to create for his Man city team-mates?. You are chatting puppycocks!. Aguero rarely drops to midfield like the messi,rooney type to offer any creativity. Aguero is a TARGET man kind of striker; he ever rarely drops deep!. And Nacho is a silva,Iniesta,Ozil kinda player. He will never make it as a striker. These kind of players have good finish and composure but that does not make them a striker. To be a striker,you must possess either TREMENDOUS pace with explosive power or Physical strength if you don't have the previously mentioned and in some cases, you. Can have both. Nacho is average @best in all of the qualities mentioned. Saying Nacho can play as a striker is the same as saying a player like Ozil will excel in the CF role. Just like Ozil,Iniesta,Silva,another position I see him being able to play is the Winger role. 2 Likes |

City's reason for playing him as a striker might just be because he's more prolific than his peers, if u watched their u21 game against chelsea where he scored, u might just notice this. That said, I think his best position is in that 10 pocket. If his abilities are harnessed well, he could become one of the best AM's ever. He has the ability plus the advantage of size and strength which is becoming a factor in football these days. I will use him as an AM because he'll contribute more there, not just by creating goals, scoring them too being that he has a wicked eye for goals. |

Didn't watch the under 17 world cup, but from what I've seen he looks to be the skillful, creative type of foward..like a RVP, Aguero, etc. He might be versatile enough to play anywhere in the front 3. 1 Like |

One good tin i so much admire about nacho is his never goal-shy instincts. For me This guy is good and very versatile, did u guyz noticed that he also drops deep to help the team in defence at times at the u-17wc?? For me He can play any where even as a Goal keeper, just give nacho the gloves and see wonders. 1 Like |

iheanacho is a rare gem,one of best among his peers,another african hope of winning baloon d'or. How i wish naija have d standard to groom this boy to what we want just lik brazil did for neymar so that he wil not be underutilized in europe lik his brother mikel obi of chelsea. Personally i se him as a supporting striker number 8 in a 4-4-2 formation or a right winger in 4-4-3 formation that is where we can get the best out of the boy.i dont see him as a typical number 9 but that does no mean he cant play the role. I pitty manu garba cos he is going to av selection problem wit the like of moses simon,isaac success,alhazan ibrahim,benard bulwa,musa yahaya,chidiebere eze,taiwo awoniyi......in his team. 1 Like |

He's an attacking midfielder. It's not strange for attacking midfielders to score goals. |
Re: Kelechi Iheanacho: Striker Or Attacking Midfielder? by kenex4ever(m): 5:03pm On Apr 30, 2015 |
Epaul:ur analysis is correct but I think d best position for him is attacking mid field or false nine like messi used to play b4. This guy is short and can b easy over shadowed by huge defenders, a top nine must have aerial advantage, datz y u c sanches playing behind giroud. Nacho does not have d physicality of a top nine but will shine bright when played as an attacking mid fielder just as safarigirl said. |

Fellow NL, here's the first House building machine to be built in Nigeria. This type of machine is called a 3D house printer. The machine will be capable of building a house from the floor level to the roofing level without the direct involvement of human labour. The pix below is how the 3D house printer looks like.
