Yep. He's def a loss...forget the "Sadiq Umar is better crowd".

Did someone actually say that!!

Icon4s:
Does Iheanacho not play both as a CF and SS at Leicester? He has also played behind a striker.

I know he is not getting good enough game time at Leicester but not as if we have Barca and Madrid players in the SE.

When did he play all these positions at Leicester? He only plays as a CF and an SS at Leicester. AMF never, what is he looking for there when Hus first touch is currently so poor? And the times he played as a CF he was poor, SS even worse no offence at all, this is not to diss him but it is the fact on ground.

OK let us bring in the Nigerian concept. I believe we will have a final 23 man list for the AFCON, Etebo is already a utility player(a way better one than Iheanacho, at least he can play one of his positions very well), Iwobi is another utility player and both can play that AmF role better than Iheanacho currently. Why add a third utility player? Are we taking all the players to the world cup?

zuchyblink:
believe me Iheanacho will rediscover his talent

Amen to that oh, big amen

TheGoodJoe:
I really do not understand what you are saying.

Based on my understanding, Firmino always plays the false 9 role for Liverpool and does so by either dropping to the midfield or wings depending on the strategy of his teams attack or the shape of the opponents defence.

With or without Shaqiri in the side, he always plays that way. The false 9 role helps utilise his best abilities, from his work rate, versatility to play multiple roles, passing, runs and finishing. He hardly plays without drifting to different pockets of space in the opposition's set-up.

The guy's talk was just tiring but u wasn't in the mood for his kind of argument. Salah plays virtually as a 9 all the time for Liverpool because Firminho is a false 9, if it was when Messi was playing as a false 9 David Villa and Pedro even Henry playing as wingers will be plundering goals because they are virtually the main strikers which is what the other moniker was trying to explain that Salah is a 9, but of course the fudr did not agree and resorted to insults.

Icon4s:
Iheanacho's is still more useful to the team than him presently. Aside the physicality and aerial threat u talk about what else can Osimhen offer? Can he play as an SS, an AM or a WF?

And Iheanacho can play all these positions yet he is siting on the bench at Leicester? Wow, Barca needs to snap up that raw talent ASAP

andrew444:
Na loan nah ,baba is already 31

Cr7 push him away from juventus ,they can't play together because he no go pass for Ronaldo ,same thing happened at Madrid there where dragging for top scorer at a point higuain outscored him most times e no b like benzema wey dey worship Ronaldo ,higuain selfish wella

When did Higuain ever outscore Ronaldo?
So Higuain was pushed out because of Ronaldo and not because Benzema was/is easily a better player than he is?

andrew444:
You are a joke bro

Old fashion number 9 wey score pass new fashion number 9 ?

Salah no b number 9 na salah na winger ,salah is not better than higuain ,he out score him in Seria A ,Epl seems so easy ,salah scoring goals in Epl as if he is Messi or Ronaldo

So dem dey call striker you dey call lukaku ? What weed are you smoking ?

Only aguero there is better than higuan ,harry Kane is getting there gradually .

You need to be flogged bro for saying higuain is not as good as those player especially flopkaku

Higuain have better goal ratio than those players you mention including aguero

None of those players there will score 30 Seria A goals .

Google is there for you

Please get your fact right because you comment

Coming from a Barca fan

Are you talking about the Argentine Higuain or another European Higuain??

maidaboi:
The guy wanted to test tbaba which is bad

I have been trying to locate that picture of Uzoho, if after looking at that picture you believe that Uzoho is 14 then that guy is 11, finish

jihday:
with all that plenty muscle? � you people are really funny

Is it that none of you understood the reference I made to Uzoho? Come on people

tbaba1234:
An unusually tall 11 year old still has a young face.. He is still 11..

If you look at that picture and say he can be 11 you are dishonest with yourself.

First of all let us all remember that you looked at Uzoho's picture and declared that he looked....14? And you actually believed it to be true, now because you do not like this guy you have changed the narrative to 'he doesn't look young'.

Anyways judging from the picture you can see a young lad who had been struggling to make ends meet, do you know the menial jobs he did at that age? You do not expect him to be looking young when he has been exposed for too long.

Detan at 11 years

I have actually seen bigger students in their junior secondary.

tbaba1234:
Since we are talking about evidence.

Exhibit 1

Detan Ogundare (Gk for the under 20 team)

Official age: 18 (turned 18 in December 2018)

This means that in 2011, Ogundare was 11.

This is a picture of Ogundare in 2011, posted on his facebook page. Does this look like an 11 year old.

Posted November 19, 2011 ·

Looks perfectly like an 11 year old to me

BascoVanVeli:
TheGoodJoe would love to hear this

I am now a humble disciple of his theory

tbaba1234:
Come on, Ighalo is not 17 year old to be picking up new things.

At a certain age, it is hard to pick up new things.

Aguero is older than Ighalo but I am certain he has picked up a few things under Pep. Even if you are 50 years old you can learn a few things like positioning, movement and stuff, there are some things you cannot learn but though but I doubt finishing is among them. Like I said if he trains with the likes of Messi I am sure his finishing abilities would improve a lot

BascoVanVeli:
Ighalo should not go to Barcelona because he needs to play week in week out to be sharp for the AFCON.

If he trains with the best week in week out that's good enough for me. He can pick up a few things from Messi

isan:
their fans did they failed to control their fans LMC should hit them hard

Hit the club hard for what some fans(not all) did? I mean this is a 22-24 match season and you all want points deducted from Remo Stars because of what some hoodlums did? Fine them, make them play behind closed doors no problem, but point deduction is absolutely inappropriate

tbaba1234:
Ighalo had over 73 games in La liga with just 13 goals. Ighalo played mainly as a center forward at Granada. That was his primary role.

He also had 55 games in the premier league with 17 goals. 16 of those goals came in his only good season where he played 37 games.

In the next season, he scored 1 goal in 18 games.

Ighalo is not a proven goal scorer in the top leagues.

Key word: proven

Of the 73 how many did he start?
But that's all by the way, how is he not a much more proven goalscorer than KPB??

Joebie:
That your last line get as e be.

I believe a Ghanian has failed his medical before? I can't recall who though

tbaba1234:
Is Ighalo a proven goalscorer in a top league??

Ighalo has only had one great season in the premier league.

His other seasons in La liga and the premier league had low goal returns.

He had better goal return in lower leagues.

How many seasons did he play in the EPL? Two or three? If he had one great(not good but great) season out of say three then I do not think that is bad at all. Besides when Ighalp played for Granada he played as a winger then in most of his matches that I watched, always wearing that long sleeve stuff inside his main jersey and back then you could see that he knows how to beat his marker at least.

OK now let us ask has KPB ever and I mean ever had a great season? He has one or two great matches every season and that is just it! As a backup striker Ighalo is better than KPB anyday of the week and twice on matchdays for me

Earthquake1:
Kevin prince Boateng to Barca

Someone in Barca management is smoking some serious sh1t

Absolutely the worst transfer of this period by far . Barca in need of a backup striker goes ahead to buy KPB who is not an out and out striker ahead of Ighalo who is actually a proven goalscorer in a top league, I mean I understand that Ighalo's agents pointed out that he doesn't want a loan move but a permanent move and that is more than what Barca are asking for but come on, KPB?? I know it is a done deal but I pray that stuff doesn't go through, maybe he fails his medical or something, you never know what you will get with these Ghanaians and their banku

isan:
Remo stars should be kick out of the league

Did the Remo Stars' players or staff beat up the referee?

tbaba1234:
He was the second best villarreal player alongside Pablo Fornals against Real Madrid according to Who scored.com

Cazorla - 8.6
Chukwueze- 7.5
Pablo Fornals -7.5

Against Barca, He was the best Villarreal player according to Whoscored.com

So that means he was among the top 3 best players not the top 2. And by the way you said he was 'easily' the best player in both matches. I believe you have corrected that though

fabyom:
I was responding to Micheal 2 but didn't want to quote him. I don here bro! All for the love of S.Eagles.

I do not bite. I would like to know your own opinion, that's shyy we are here.

By the way like I said, if we play the same formation we employed during the qualifiers, then that would mean that even Samuel Kalu will be on the bench, Samuel can come in and change a game. What is the point taking him to the tourney if he will go and sit on the bench instead of going to the U20 and clocking minutes

oloriooko:
Leicester is a pile of poo in the first 20 min of the match and I am yet to see the value added by the recalled striker from west brom.
Puel has hit the wall drained of ideas to move the team forward.

Sorry, what were you saying?

oloriooko:

On a good day they could have scored one goal in that first 20minutes it just isn't their day. But they are comfortable in the top half of the rest apart from the top 6, not sure how that is a 'pile of poo'

tbaba1234:
One of which was assisted by Samuel. Ok, let us say top 2 best players

Did you check whoscored before making this deduction? I am not exactly sure I watched that match so I can't exactly say though but whoscored is implying another stuff altogether

andrew444:
Villarreal best player against Madrid ?

What happened to carzola ,didn't he score 2 goals in that game ?

I just dey look am. On whoscored another thing is written, even in the match against Barca too but let's just be looking. He is playing with 10 other farmers that can't even control a simple pass

ChrisKels:
Lol Michael my brother, I'm sorry buh in ur bid to defend ur points, u just had a boner. The same Everton that finished 7th in the 02/03 season, were relegation battlers in ur own book? Remember, that was the season before the Euro. I will reiterate, Rooney played for a better team, yet Chuks floors his stats playing for a shitty team.

I said a season before that, read through what I wrote again, that is the 01/02 season and they finished 15th. The next season the same set of players now finished 7th. How is Villarreal a shitty team? A team that finished 6th last season? They are struggling yes but they are not a shitty team by any stretch of the imagination.
Should I also pull out Rooney's stats in the 2003/2004 season so you will see further why he went to the Euro? For goodness sake this is Chuks' first professional season, Rooney already played two complete seasons before he was considered for the Euro, that too because he performed when the ovation was loudest

BascoVanVeli:
Messi got an assist in his first el clasico the treble came in his third el clasico in the 06/07 season. Like I said I am not against what u are getting at but u of all people should know how tough La Liga is right now.

Rooney wasn't scoring on all the big teams either. The fact is that Samuel is not Rooney or Messi so we shouldn't hold him to their yardstick. We need to give this boy what is best for him and what can best help him to be the best he can be. All I know is that elite level players make their own rules.

We actually agree on this one, maybe you just did not like the analogy I used and for that I apologise.

This is the point I am making, do what is best for him. You and I know that what he may think is best for him may not exactly be. But remember that Barcelona almost stopped Messi from attending that 2008 Olympics but Pep then said it was vital for his development, Pep the best coach in the world(sorry Liverpool fans but that's the truth) pointed out that attending an age grade tournament is important in a player's career even if the player is named Messi shows just how important that stuff is. Solanke is getting his big money move to Bournemouth off the back of his U20 exploits, there are better players but Bournemouth settled for him, I believe a stellar campaign in the U20 would earn him his own big money move and from there I believe he can continue moving up. I believe the Olympics is next year too, he should even be ready for it as well, seeing that he is actually the age he said he is there is no point rushing him and then burning him out, let's take our time, we ain't winning the AFCON with Rohr anyways

ChrisKels:
If scoring against the top teams is now the yardstick, then a player like Iheanacho should be knighted by the queen already.

Chuks did/does his thing as a winger for a shitty team, Rooney had a paradise behind him, plus Rooney was a striker.

It is about getting noticed. I mean how many Nigerians except the ones that are well grounded in football matters are well aware of his exploits? Even those who do still have doubts considering who he is performing against. But remember when Keshi refused to invite Iheanacho and the kind of nationwide uproar it caused? Is Iheanacho a better player than Chuks? That is open for debate but Iheanacho was performing against the top teams so he was easily noticed, that is what football is all about.


Ehm Bros oh, how did Rooney have a paradise behind him? I mean Everton are not exactly a top team, more like the Leicester/WestHam/Watford of those days. They were struggling wirh relegation a season before that so it was a poor team with a good coach. I get that Vullareal are struggling in the league this season but otherwise they are a top 6 team and comfortably qualified from their Europa League group and they could still finish 7th this season. Rooney did not have any paradise behind him, maybe you should check that first. And Rooney played almost all the season as a support striker

Joebie:
Airport and hote better pass this one. No fact checker this time around. Should Chukweiser go to AFCON or U20? Make I ask una this one first, Nigeria don qualify for U20 WC yet?

With our 50year olds, it should be easy.

ChrisKels:
U aint trynna make him look poor, really? Alryt, could u please help us with Rooney's? Were his, then, against the likes of Man U and the other top four teams in the premier League?

First of all, please please please I am not trying to make him look poor not by any stretch of the imagination, I mean Iheanacho couldn't score against Newport County, Success couldn't score against...whatever the name of that team is, I can go on. So scoring a goal, regardless of the team is an achievement so no, I am not saying it is poor but this is strictly in comparison to Rooney's debut season and why he was easily noticed. I hope I have enlightened you now.

Rooney scored against Arsenal twice (second placed team), Newcastle (third placed team) and Blackburn(6th placed team). He also scored against Leeds and I am sure you know Leeds used to be among the elite then and Aston Villa. So there you go
