We are still watching. The careers of those players are still at their infancy.

Majority of the Manu boys for instance are still struggling. We hope they find their fits soon.

tbaba1234:


Usually, if 4-5 players from an under 17 set make it to the national team, that is a big success. Already Iheanacho, Musa Muhammad and Ndidi are already in the national team set-up. Isaac Success has been unlucky with injuries, otherwise he would be playing. Simon Moses was also a Manu boy. Alampasu is already in the system.

We have others that could potentially be there in the future. Nwakali and Ifeanyi Mathew.
Yahaya and Ezeh are still young.

Icon4s:


That is it.

4-5 and maybe a few others if at all.

Most of the players from an 18man U17 squad never play for the senior team.

Ndidi and Mathew were not part of the U17 WC squad.

tglobal:
Don't know why I dislike these tags for our players: "Nigerian Messi", "Nigerian Pogba", "Nigerian Kante", "Nigerian Neymar" etc. Some even go as far as using the whole continent "African Messi" etc..WHO is giving them these names by the way?

tbaba1234:


They played in the CAF tournament. They are still Manu Garba boys...

Icon4s:


Ndidi and Mathew did not feature at the CAF U17. They failed MRI before the tourney.

Ndidi and Simon were first featured by Obuh at the 2013 WYC.

Dnt misunderstand me. I am not doing any comparisons. My point stands from an argument last year when i stated that most of the 2013 U17 winning squad will nt likely play for d Super Eagles.

Lets say u are Windows and u hear that the best computer speciialist in the world works for a smaller company would u not hire him or would u wait till he goes to apple and boost his profile.

Even if you want to sign a computer programmer from a humble beginning, he must have the tested requirements to get employed.

Our league is not suitable enough to provide the right testing.

komekn:


Are you being objective? I actually remember Etebo when he was at teenager at Warri Wolves.

Brazil has not produced a player like Etebo in years

BascoVanVeli:



What is the right testing? Even hackers are hired by big companies so good is good. You always have players that are too good for their leagues. Remember Rohr does not even want Ekong to step foot in Gent. U can never discount a player cuz of the league, that does not stop making the player special. Ibra was scoring in France and is scoring in England yet the leagues are far apart.

safarigirl:
the long and short of why Kelechi needs to start mixing practical learning with theoretical learning

TheGoodJoe:


You are jumping to the Norwegian League. Even on this thread, many are not ready to see the coach fielding our home League players in important games.

Even if the player is Ronaldinho in Nigeria, top clubs will not take risk. Smaller clubs will and if the player is flawless, then Big clubs can come in. Because, he is tested.

When a big company employs a freelance hacker to fix some bugs in their program, they do so because the hacker is tested. That is how they know he is good to handle the pressure and do the task.

TheGoodJoe:


Are you sure Iheanacho has learnt the skills before we talk of opportunity to show.

BascoVanVeli:


Which kind talk be this? I'm glad the falcons won if not u for spoil my day.

BascoVanVeli:


I was not jumping to Norway, i used that to explain my point. If a giant company can stoop low to hire an hacker then why won't they hire someone from a small briefcase company? U r beating around the bush, Nigeria has won things with homebase players lately Sunday Mba. We have people like me in the thread that have been fighting for Nwobodo to get his chance and so i know Nigeria is very much alive in the talent department. We can only give them the talent wat they do with the player is up to them.

TheGoodJoe:

TheGoodJoe:


I have stressed that there is more things I feel Iheanacho should add to his game. So, the talk of giving him opportunity to show his skills does not add up.

zicky:
Keep Nacho on the bench until he learn all or gain all the skills he needs, I don't believe this is coming from you...
This seems to be the worst thing after the Uruguayan FA
President said Suarez was 'only playing' with Chellini!

TheGoodJoe:


Nwobodo is but one man. Out of the whole players in the league, you can only point a player for the Super Eagles. So how do you expect Big clubs to invest big in players from our league.

A big company hires a hacker because they know he is good. Our league does not show that the players are good.

I don't know why guys on this thread are reasoning with "emotionally" clouded minds. Iheanacho is nowhere near the level of Aguero and Wouldn't start for any other Big Team aspiring for European or League Success. Pep prefers his wingers to be Very Fast which is not a strong attribute of Kelechi so he cant start as a winger. Pep doesn't play with a Second/Supporting Striker.

Morata doesn't start games when Benzema is Fit and Firing. Munir who i rate didn't start games when suarez was below par last season. Iheanacho would get his chance but to think he is a world beater that deserves to start ahead of Aguero is disturbing.

TheSuperNerd:
I already pointed out the bolded earlier mister... So dont come singing a song we already know.

So you think we are being "just" emotionally clouded huh?? Ofcos, there's some emotion here... But we are also being analytical...

Now tell me... MUST IHEANACHO BE AT AGUERO'S LEVEL TO GET GAMES AT CITY??

Morata doesn't start games (mostly when Benz is in) but he still get games (even as a sub). So the morata comparison is bollocks.

So again I ask, MUST IHEANACHO BE AT MESSI-LEVEL or AGUERO-LEVEL BEFORE HE GET EVEN FIVE MINUTES UNDER GUARDIOLA SEEING THAT HE GOT NONE IN THE LAST FIVE GAMES??

Nacho cant play AM or RWF at some point in a game?? Nacho is suddenly "useless"??

Did Nacho even suffer dip in form?? Aguero did but not Nacho... So what the heck are you saying??

bigblangston:
You were not here when kelechi was compared to Alexis Sanchez, infact someone even went as far to type that Kelechi is better than Alexis Sanchez. Nothing wey I never read for here.

princesuko:


@Bolded Iheanacho does get minutes. Just that Lately pressure has been on City and Pep to win games.

Nacho was Poor against Man U(EFL) to say he didn't have a bad game is absoloutely bollocks.
