Humility017:
not at all.....
they're so young...by then they will likely be 15, 16 years old at most...
I think the nff are just carried away wit the money that accrued to them via the competition where the boys were selected from...having being sponsored by zenith bank...
I will suggest the zenith bank tournament be merged wit the npfl promise under 15 tournament...and solely sponsored by zenith bank or alteco group....

Danycrusoe:
The guys are way too young 4 Mri. The official was only finding an excuse

Danycrusoe:
those guys are very very young secondary school kids

Humility017:
I was opportune to have a discussion wit one of the nff too personality during preceding week....
he revealed to me....on how the under 15 will travelling for some football matches...
I asked him..how about the youngsters just discovered from the immediate past under 15 NPFL promise tournament...
he laughed it off...
telling me they're too old...
I tried convince him but he told me....they're the ones there...they know what's playing around...
I wasn't happy and I felt they should be need to integrate both talents...create a large pool of players to pick from...
I think what will help grow our youngsters is the restructuring and improved management of the domestic league....
It should js structures to absolve young players....and if possible the clubs be reduced to attain efficiency and effectiveness....private individuals and coys should wade into the management of these clubs...

Danycrusoe:
I am Danycrusoe. Single "n"
Sir Icon4s take note siR, "Danycrusoe" not "Dannycrusoe"

Danielnino00:
Abi oo. The NFF should just keep it up.. Develop the boys right from u-13 to u-20 and there would be no need to chase foreign born Nigerian players..

Danielnino00:
The u-15

safarigirl:
excuse me, did I say not to discuss your golden boy? I am asking what the discussion is based on and you can't provide a parameter

Anyway, knock yourselves out with Kelechi


Please, did anyone else watch Swansea's game? At least Team English boys should assist on Tammy's performance

mrhipup:
I need Jst 3week @ABU Zaria

safarigirl:
based on what?

His time in City? Pre-season games? The 10-minute cameo?

Can we also discuss other players then?

junnyjake:
Sorry, but Isaac is way behind the likes of denney, okaka, Gray, now the Brazilian kid.

TheGoodJoe:
Note. I said exceptional brilliance on the ball. Iheanacho is not the kind of player that relies on on the ball movements to create havoc. Most of his damage to the opposition comes from his off the ball movement.

TheGoodJoe:
Their attack came from sitting deep with most of their players behind the ball and attacking by hitting the ball long to Vardy. They can create multiple chances with the system but creative players suffer because of lack of support around them. It takes exceptional brilliance on the ball to make something off it.

As I said, maybe playing Arsenal is what made it look so awful.

safarigirl:
I cannot believe you guys a are arguing about a ten minute cameo. What the hell is "he was signed for blah blah million and is expected to hit the ground running..." What of Morata that was signed for 70 million and lost a penalty in an important game? So, Chelsea fans should kill him?

Kelechi no even lose penalty, he was subbed in wrongly and I doubt he scored an own goal, so, what are you all arguing about?

Craig Shakespeare was subbing in a striker when Leicester needed defenders and shiiit went wrong, so, Kelechi should have right the wrongs ni?

Like Joebie said, it is much too early to be making comments on Kelechi, irrespective of what thegoodjoe said, so oga icon4s, I do not expect you to take goodjoe's bait, komekn, I can wholly understand though. Na so he dey do, bait or no bait.

However, if we are to discuss a player's performance, I believe Tammy Abraham, who played Swansea's full 90 minutes should be discussed....that is if any of you watched the game

I look forward to this season's EPL, so far, I love how the big clubs are struggling against the minnows. The season could have a surprise winner

TheGoodJoe:

It is more of a personal choice but I prefer young promising creative/attacking talents playing under Coaches that embrace attacking style of play. It helps the players have more chances to show their quality.

Look at Dortmund for instance. You can expect five or more great scoring chances in each game.

In Leicester City, most of the few created chances falls to Vardy.

A 4-4-2 offensive strategy with Nacho pairing would have been more ideal. Or a 4-3-3 offensive set-up.

I hope Nacho excels there but the system does not look promising.

Maybe Leicester City looked that bad because Arsenal is a team that holds the ball well and are dangerous when attacking.

Maybe Leicester might look better to me in their next game. I will watch closely and give an updated verdict.

TheGoodJoe:

As I said, we will see how they set-up against smaller teams but that system of play Leicester City is known for is not the kind of system to groom a top quality talent.

I am interested in players developing fast than just suiting a system.

TheGoodJoe:
Those fans should spend more time convincing their team to adopt a better playing strategy. If Bournemouth and Swansea can play well, why can't them.

TheGoodJoe:
Even players signing for top clubs with quality around them hardly hit the ground running with no delay. Then Leicester City wants to play long ball and sit deep. Then they want a player to hit the ground running with no delay.

Their team suits a defensive minded player. They should go and learn how to play ball.

TheGoodJoe:
Their system always sucked but it was more obvious watching it yesterday trying to see how they could be decent.

That is why I am totally against a player moving to any club for game time. His development and growth as a player should lead the decision. I hope Nacho makes a good deal off this but as you already know, it is a system that is not built to bring the best off him.

komekn:
Leicester is not a club with lots of money swirling around.

When they buy a player they expect him to deliver NO DELAY, very quickly he must adapt and or modify his game to suit the circumstances.

That will be the expectation of the manager, the club and the fans.

BascoVanVeli:
Iheanacho is not rated higher than Mkhitaryan who was the bundesliga player of the year.

Joebie:
Please its too early to say anything about Iheanacho.

He was thrown in at the wrong circumstance. That was Arsenal fighting to get back in the game. Personally, I don't think Iheanacho had any biz in that game unless he had something to offer defensively as well.

There should be no talk about Iheanacho yet, whether you are for him or not. Me I will call a spade a spade when the time comes.. But for now guys chilll

Joebie:
Isaac is down the pecking order. These are the youngsters we've been hoping for to rise up to the occasion. But the season has just started. Too early to say.

As regards Kayode, that's the kind of situation you find yourself when a big name/country/club offers you something. Hey, it's PEP!

Humility017:
so how has nacho not delivered?
the boy has barely played a full 90 mins....with an assist to his name...
how many minutes did lukaku played before he bagged in a goal...ikewise lacazette
please stop trying to exonerate yourself thinking nacho is going to flop Leicester.

even messi and Ronaldo will find it difficult to cope with that leicester kind of play

BascoVanVeli:
Not every player hits the ground running, Mkhitaryan for example took some time.

kennysville:
August 12 bruh

TheGoodJoe:
I am not defending Iheanacho. Keep that aside. I am talking of Leicester City as a whole. Forget the goals they scored. Their football sucked. It will look good for defending players like Ndidi, Amartey, Morgan, Maguire etc but atrocious for attacking players.

I do not like Iheanacho in such system. It is not about him scoring goals or shining. It is the kind of way I want him developing with respect to the Super Eagles. I want our players playing in systems that complements what the coach is doing with the National team.

TheGoodJoe:

If you put Lacazete behind Vardy in that system played yesterday, it will prove hard for him to perform regularly. It is Plain logic. If Iheanacho played the role Lacazete played yesterday, there I no way he would not make a big impact in the long run.

That is what I am saying.

You should not just compare players like if they are in like for like situations.

TheGoodJoe:
We have seen many step up. Like many. From Aguero, Messi, Ronaldinho, Willian, Alves, Fernandinho, Vidal, Forlan etc.

Many of you are quick to point out who failed. What of those who succeeded.

bossto:
This guy is good...i think he deserves a call up...

TheGoodJoe:

I wanted Iheanacho in City or a system that plays a similar possessive and attacking style. It is some like you who feel football is about playing time.

TheGoodJoe:
He better quickly adjust ke. This is football he has his life ahead of him to make it right. It is not by snapping fingers.

I hope it works out for Nacho. If it does not, he can switch to a more favorable atmosphere.
