So his development would have been hampered if he was played in his proper position. We have seen Iheanacho played in his proper position in the national team and has flourished. Scoring belters and award winning goals, while at City his goals have been tap in from rebounds, shots deflecting off his azz etc...
Oh please give me a break

TheGoodJoe:


If Nacho trained as a ten, he would not become one of the deadliest finishers in Europe today.

All these because I showed you Greizmann can play as a lone striker.

You can take the break you want.

He was already a deadly finisher before he went abroad. Manu Garba said Kelechi used to score 4-5goals in training playing as a no8....
If Man city plays him in his proper position, he may have gotten more than 6 goals already this season. Have you given that a thought?

TheGoodJoe:


LOLS. Says the football Oracle. Or he may not. He is among the deadliest strikers in Europe. Give City props.

You showed me Greizman can play as a lone striker? Even an ultra defensive Diego Simeone haven't given that a thought to play as a lone striker so he can free up another body to sure up his midfield? Lol lol

How about your guy Umar?

TheSuperNerd:
Oga lemme help u out... Jordan was termed Air Jordan because whenever he does goes for a dunk especially with his leap from the free throw line, HE STAYS IN THE AIR FAR LONGER THAN OTHER DUNKERS.

HE even outshone Vince Carter in the dunking game in the NBA.

I know my basketball bro. Was only speaking based on the positions he could play which will permit him to get into dunking positions. He was a shooting guard that could also play point guard, small forward and power forward.

So that's settled... **So much throwing Jabs when you actually never knew why Michael was termed "Air Jordan" all along... Smh**


As for Nacho's nickname.... TAP IN MERCHANT IS WRONG!!!!!!! THE MOTIVE BEHIND THE NAME IS ALSO WRONG!!!!!!!!



SO SAVE YOUR CAMPAIGN FOR THE NAME.

Icon4s:
I dnt know if I am a lone on this but i have never really been so excited abt most of this English groomed talents.

All the Arsenal kids that played in today's game are not really exceptionally gifted. All them Miles, Adelaide, Zelalem and Willick are not better than our own Kelechi Nwakali, Musa Yahaya, Chidi Nwakali, Samuel Chukwueze.

Dnt get me wrong. I said most and not all.

No game time for Marc Bola.

goldfish80:

Give city props for converting a lovely footballing gem into a willy fox in the box? Lol

TheGoodJoe:


It seems you are hiding from the truth. I showed you, you can lie to yourself and run from Simeone to Garba. Greizmann can play as a lone striker. I wonder how you know Simeon's thoughts. Teach me nah. Lolllll.

Upon all the debate and I told you I like dynamic strikers, you are calling Sadiq Umar. That is not my kind of striker at all. My types are Tevez, Aguero, Suarez, Forlan, Messi and the latest Iheanacho.

goldfish80:

Which game has simeone played Griezman as a lone forward? Name that game and shame me.. Lol

Guy. Go and take your break. I will give you long vacation. Lolllll.

Opting to play Greizmann as a Sub does not mean Simeone did not think of it. Are you ashamed now? Lol.

tbaba1234:


The English System produced Dele Alli and Iwobi. Not all will be superstars but we should give opportunities to the talented ones. Ejaria is another one, i hope we do not lose to England.

goldfish80:

Tell me the game Simeone played Griezman as a lone striker and I will take a break, if you can't, buy me a bottle of Jack Daniels and go to bed

BascoVanVeli:


Remember in the u17 wc when Musa Mohammed took a long shot and once the keeper spilled Iheanacho was there to finish. That goal off the throwing was one of the best finishing u will see home and away. His finishing has always been his biggest asset and u can't teach that, if not every English striker would have that talent. Just like Etebo who is just as deadly it is instinct mixed with technique and timing. We are not all equal as football players some were just born with it.

BascoVanVeli:


Chai so u basically stole wat i said and added Vince Carter to it. Btw Vince was also named Air Canada and to some was a better dunker than Mike. He also is much younger than Jordan so Jordan could not have outshined him, the only time they were in the league together Jordan was already retired twice.

My point was that if it were up to people like u we no go hear word about how Michael could do other stuff besides dunking but who cares, people watch basketball 4 the dunks just like we all watch football for the goals. We are talking about Kelechi being in a conversation featuring the likes of Mullar, Chicharito, Aubameyang, Costa and u can even add Messi and Ronaldo as guys who are just serial killers in the box, like I said it is called tap in but it ain't easy. I would like to see u find the space make the run and finish with 3 rushing defending in sight. Pep said it best when u give the ball to Nacho he scores.

goldfish80:

So you're denying Umar now? At the Olympics he was your favourite with Troost and Mikel.... You went out of your way to defend him, now he is not your kind of striker. Lol
You always make hesty generalisation TheGoodJoe lol lol lol

TheGoodJoe:


Show me where I said Simeone played Griezman as a lone striker. It is not good debating football after drinking. Your points are incoherent. Loll.

goldfish80:

You claimed Greizmann can play as a lone striker, I wondered why Simeone haven't given that a thought in his ultra defensive set up, after all he stands to gain a lot having an extra man in midfield.
You asked how I knew what simeone was thinking, which means you have empirical prove Simeone sees him as a lone striker, a fact you cannot justify with an example in any verifiable game... Now, between myself and you who is incoherent? Lol lol

TheGoodJoe:


Just advertise your lack of understanding of Nacho. Fox in the box. How can someone on this thread say that?

Breath in. Then say, One of the deadliest strikers in the World. Do you not feel better now? I will charge you a fee for my therapeutic treatment.

TheGoodJoe:


Chineke Me.

TheGoodjoe, Sadiq Umar best player? Chai you lie more than Linus. If you take lie detector test, you will fail is your nairaland moniker goldfish80.

I was impressed with him giving his best. I do not even like those kind of strikers. I was against Manchester United signing Berbatov. I believed his pattern will not fit the kind of players Manchester United had then. Nani, CR7, Rooney and Tevez. I was for dynamism for a very long time.

TheSuperNerd:
Whaaaaattttt?? Is that what he seeeeeeeeeessssss??

Fox-in-the-box?? Nacho?? Na wa oooo!!!!

#faints

**I can't believe someone on this thread terms Nacho a fox-in-the-box kinda Striker based on how we all see Nacho execute the no.9 role**

goldfish80:


You have forgotten how you defended Umar when everyone else was calling him bambi on ice.
Was your nairaland account hacked?

TheGoodJoe:


Yara Yara. Run with bucket of water. Your Oga fainted. Baff him the whole bucket. He has woken up.

TheSuperNerd:
**Not working.... This fox-in-the-box comment has sent me into a state of reversible coma**

#Still_in_Fainting mode.... Only Madam Confun and then Yara Yara's cousin can wake me up...

TheSuperNerd:
Looollll... Nope!

I've always known it.

That's the reason he's called Air Jordan. It's not about the dunks but his "time in the air" before the dunks come slamming into those baskets.

I know why I brought in Vince C.... Lol.. And yep, younger or not, he was outshone. Even Phelps outshone all his "younger rivals" in the pool at Rio 2016.

Look... You know what I am saying and you know why "Tap-in merchant" isn't a suitable name.

Pep says, "when u give Nacho the ball, he SCORES"

"Scores" can mean with a 25yards strike, an acrobatic shot, a header, a volley, a short run past the last defenders and beating the keeper, a round-the-keeper kinda goal, an outside-the-18 curler, a backheeled strike, AND EVEN A "TAP-IN".....

So it is he scores... NOT he "taps in" Get it?

Tap-in merchant doesn't fit Nacho and doesn't best describe what he is about centrally. He's more than "just tap-ins".

Kog45:
I don't know why two of u are arguing like this,pls be professional when it comes to analysis and don't be sentimental.

Please calling Taiwo back shows that Echijele did not leave to expectations and it w not be good for our football when we are yearning for younger players,though if we don't have options there is nothing we can do if Taiwo is recalled back.

On Oshaniwa,not playing regularly in lowly rated Scottish league is a minus for him and is not helping his football career.After world cup i thought this guy is going places coz d potential shows that he is far better than Echijele, may be due to poor agent he made a wrong move and is paying for it.

Echijele likely to still play LB against Algeria coz w lack quality replacement now but i don't see him as d best for d position coz d guy is diminishing and it shows against Zambia.I remembered Keshi dropped this guy and Ambrose for Madu and raheem lawal during d Afcob qualify.During this match Onazi moved to RB,Madu to LB and Lawal as DM.

It w take a coach that know Oshaniwa inside out to gamble on him coz of lack of playing time,not every player has d ability of Mikel,though I rate Oshaniwa than Taiwo an Echijele.

TheGoodJoe:


LOLS. Someone stop this guy. Yara Yara, anybody.

You do not know if Simeone gave it a thought or not. Playing a player in a position is not done in the mind. Thoughts are in the mind.
