Iheanacho is not 20years....


He is in his mid thirties...

Nigerian players should learn that Pele did not become great by reducing his age.
Guy say what you know, Kelechi grew up in my hood, we actually attended the same primary school and he was my junior. He is a very small boy, He was born in 1993 so it's just 3 years that he reduced and in football terms it's normal. He's real age is 23 not 30 something

Bros I be barca fan but why I said "sometimes" I had to admit he is because he doesn't believe well in Africans most especially.

Can we say someone like Iheanacho is not performing well?

Not well enough for a top four club. You watched the matches he played especialky towards the end of the season when city were still chasing. His measured impacts did not exceed that of Aguero or Gabriel. If you are a coach in that situation, looking to tie down a title or survive the top four you will not gamble and play him ahead of a more experienced Aguero or a more technical Gabriel. He has a bit to learn and if City cannot give him that opportunity this move to Westhan is welcome. City is not a player building club. No club aspiring to titles builds players be it Madrid or Bayern or does trials on the field of play when chasing.

There's different between real age and football age ode





Zlatan IBRA. Is 34yrs in football age, real age he's up to 40

Even Rooney is 32, Messi 30, all these guys dey theirate 30s

You think everywhere is like you're country where even in 2017 the can't properly register Marriage, Deaths or Births?

Its impossible to falsify your age in a society where they've been registering and recording every incident for over hundred years.

Western Europe is not Nigeria.

his move to city was a never a waste of time
the young man has learnt so much
he has proved himself...
all he has achieved within the space of time all shows hardwork...walking into the first team within the space of 2-3 years is no child's play
he has left a landmark for others to follow
I wish him well ..
His goal scoring ratio was better than 80% of the top strikers in the EPL....only guardiola knew why he treated the boy the way he did.

Its "normal" to you West/Sub Saharan Africans to falsify your age; not to the rest of the world.

That why you're called "cheats". Theres nothing normal about faking your age.

At the prospects of Iheanacho to West Ham, some of their English fans think as follows:


@hammers_chat I agree with Gonzo that we need an athlete upfront but don't forget Batshuayi can be lazy aswell..Wouldnt say no to Iheanacho

— MR (@WHU_MR2013) May 18, 2017
Iheanacho. There has been talk and it would be a great deal. 20m for a player of this calibre in today's market is nothing. Absolute steal. pic.twitter.com/vlBIE859rl

— MN¹⁶ (@RegistaWHU) May 18, 2017
@Harryhamilton97 Iheanacho for 20M would easily score 13+ a season in the PL. Batshuayi on Loan and Defoe on a free would cover the Strikers

— MR (@WHU_MR2013) May 18, 2017
You don't understand how happy I'd be to get Zabaletta and Iheanacho from city

Do people actually think Iheanacho or Batshuayi will be at WHU next season? Can't see either wanting to come or G&S offering enough tbh!

— John (@FJohnf1964) May 18, 2017
I would definitely look into getting Iheanacho though from City. If Pep wants him gone, get him here. A lot of potential there like Fletcher

We should go all out for Iheanacho, King, Sigurdsson and Zabaleta plus a couple of loans!! #WHUFC #COYI

Iheanacho is a very talented and promising young forward, and the Nigerian would be a good signing for West Ham.


Then check the reactions of some Nigerians here. Any wonder why people don't grow here?

If he started at Porto rather than City, by now, he'd be entering the EPL into Liverpool or Leicester or so, rather than what some may assume is a step-down to the hammers.

Nevertheless, great move. He will become the pointsman of a very decent West Ham team that already has a cohesive and creative midfield.

Best of luck to the lad. He's found his level. City was the wrong environment.

City wrong place for him? You're a big time dreamer, you may not be a football fan though, had he been at Chelsea, do you think he will test a first team game? City had fate in him and gave him many chances to prove himself which he did, was he sent on loan? But other players better than him was sent on loan, think of Patrick Robert at Celtic he's a City on loan at Celtic, Nacho is no where near him, you can say d new management didn't favor him, Pellegrini had fate in him and kept him at city.

The fact still remains that Ruman Lukaku was not valued in Chelsea, as soon as Everton signed him,he became a force u couldn't reckon with,so it's a nice move for iheanocho to move to were they value his craft,I believe man city will regret selling him when he becomes an unstoppable force

But this is what I say. Top teams don't build players. To expect Chelsea to build Lukaku whike chasing titles is day dreaming so he has to go to other clubs with less ambition to build. Nothing wrong in that. Lukaku came to the Premiership too young and too green. They saw the Drogba potentials in him but Drogba had been playing in France for a long time honing his skills. Premiership is for established players. So they went for bad boy Costa. Depending on Lukaku since he joined Chelsea would have meant no prospects of trophies since then.

The media hype in EPL is second to none...do know what they did for Leicester last season? grin my wife now knows Drinkwater,Okazaki,Mahrez .Let Nacho just score two goals for the hammers,and the EPL media will hype him like Ronaldo..I just love the way they sell their football,Just Negodu Batshuayi,perpetual bench warmer,that scored,one goal to clinch the title,just became Pele overnight.

that assist attribute is still in him
just like Mikel still plays good 10 whenever he is called to just like last Olympic game in Brazil

When Kanu played for ajax...then arsenal. Lazy Nigerians said he was in his late 30s. Fast forward to close to 30yrs now.., is kanu 60? Or okocha 60?

Is yobo 50 after playing for almost 20yr? Or amokachi 60 ?

You guys learn to be motivated by the success of your youner ones.

As big as lukaku is, he is 23....or so. On camera, he looks old but i have met him back in Leicester...and he for sure was a lil boy looking at him. He was born in a developed country where his birth details are well recorded. Yet stupid Nigerians Will question his real age.

Toure is way past his prime abeg and winding down his career. Nigerians lay too much emphasis on individuals. We do too much idolatry. Pep has always been about his formation and playing those with the qualities to adapt be it for good or bad results. Pep is a racist we hear yet brought in Gabriel Jesus. Jesus na white boy....

He should have gone to a team like Porto, Monaco, benfica, Dortmund. Not West Ham.
Would have really loved to see him at Dortmund precisely, he would have gained valuable experience there and become something else in the next 2-3 seasons worth in the region of 55-60 million pounds.. Plus he'll also feature in the CL/EL regularly...


Wrong move to the "Hammers" IMHO but what do i know.... All the best to him
