Lukaku left chelsea, went to Everton made a name for himself and was signed by Man Utd so when Iheanacho left Man city for leicester, A lot of people thought that it was the best move.

Football is not easy cos a lot of players have made cameo, were hyped and went back into oblivion, I can list at least ten of these players.
If you think you know how to succeed in football more than Iheanacho and his agents, You are wrong.
If you think Iheanacho doesnt take his career serious, you are wrong.

The best thing you can do is to encourage him or keep your mouth shut.

You obviously don't know much about football like you'll have yourself believe.
The psychology that made Messi the greatest definitely is not the same as Mikel Obi's.

It's all in the mindset.
How can you come from hero to zero and you say nothing is wrong?

His father ruined his career.


The Man City move was a No No.

It depreciated his career when he was almost at the peak.

Became a bench warmer and lost touch.

goshen26:


Yes, when he's not too good he should av opted for a smaller team where he would have more playing time.

Though playing for smaller team is difficult when u have bigger team calling for you

It is a lack of sound advice and experience on the part of those who brought him up that leads to poor life choices. That is why I always advocate that parents lead their children along the paths they themselves have taken so as to avoid pitfalls like these by experience. I am certain if Kelechi has a son in future he would advise him against making such a move, going to a top trophy seeking club from scratch without a CV.

In contemporary career paths people still make these kind of mistakes. Wanting the biggest and best without a CV then later discovering the attractive paper qualifications simply cannot match up with less endowed colleagues who are bigger for experience and better on the shop floor. The rule is. The employer who looks for the flashy paperwork will continue looking for flashy paperwork and sooner than later a better candidate wil emerge to relegate the previous. What consolidates position is performance.

To learn performance is different from raw skill. Learning performance does not happen on the biggest stage, it happens backstage where practice makes perfect. Mancity is bought by eager, trophy hungry moneybags. It is THE big stage. They will not let you room to practice performance. So he was released to go learn that.

Lesson for all.

And u think kelechi was in same age and skill with those players? The opportunity they will give other players from other continent they will give it to African players? Keep on leaving in dreams

foden is 19, sane was 19 when he came to city same as Jesus and other's. Mancity gave kelechi more than enough chance to excel after sending him on loan to mls league and he rose through city academy as der best player. They onces benched aguero to fast track his development and regularly featured in league cups. Infact city gave him more minutes than he is enjoying at Leicester. pep had to sell him when he proved surplus to requirement. As a young player you have to leave social media and work hard reason why pep banned social media in the teams training facilities and encourages young ones to stay away from it

mazimee:


Don't mind them, we all know these people mentioning that miss are all hard core anti City and Pep Gaurdiola but will rather pretend like they really care about Kelechi's well being. Kelechi did what most prayers would do for their boyhood club.

I tell you o! They loved when Pickford dey dash them last second goal. They loved when Alderwereild dash them last second goal! They loved when Sissoko dey miss empty net against them! E reach Kelechi turn now them say na why him no go AFCON. How can that one goal have pushed him to AFCON? He missed AFCON because of his form from beginning of season & not because of one miss 2 matches to end of season! Simple. And no be say the boy miss am on purpose o!

Ola Aina impressed me wickedly in the few matches I watched him play in Serie A. Very good defender.

Kelechi should wake up before he gets flushed down the drain.

On a contrary opinion to the status quo here, I think the move to mancity wasn't a bad move it was kelechi that had the bad mindset. For a lot of players that would have been a great platform, just imagine moving to a club with the pedigree of mancity before you're 20 you have some the best coaching staff to work with, you have great players to learn from, and you're paid heavily. It should have been more of "ginger" for him rather than to depreciate him. He was in a team where he knew all he had to do was better to be better than Aguero.

He should have worked his ass out, if Aguero trains 10 hours he should have trained 15, if Aguero trains 15 he should train 20.. even if he could not meet up to Aguero level a big team would have saved him by signing him because his quality would show anytime he plays. The fact that only Leicester was interested in him shows he is a terrible player, he should have been getting bids from the best clubs across Europe.

Kelechi is the problem of himself and not Mancity

Exactly what I say.Qualitative parenting has everything to do with the degree and quantum of children who naturally succeed later in life particularly in countries such as Nigeria where society does not 'bring up children' properly due to an uncertain value system. It does not apply to Kelechi specifically or sporting careers in particular but everyday folks.

Like I will often say, even if your parents are humble subsistence farmers, the same principles of agriculture, the principle of sowing, tending, nurturing, harvesting, gathering.... the principle of patience, diligence, excellence, knowledge is apllicable in shaping the destiny of those coming behind.

Success does not come by accident, neither does failure. These are products of deliberate acts based on specific knowledge and deliberate plans. Your skills, competencies and natural endowments notwithstanding. Skills alone cannot guarantee success.

Iheanacho looks 32 -33 years of age. Just saying

Raheem Sterling once called him uncle

Exactly how will he have been better than Aguero. What exactly do you understand by 'better'. Better to me means being more productive. In footballing terms as a striker it means more goals, means reliability in the biggest and smallest stages.

Aguero came to City with tons of experience at a top, top club in Atletico Madrid scoring against the biggest teams regularly. He is a multiple event International with the Argentine national team. You need to have EXCEPTIONAL SKILLS and striking prowess to better an in form Aguero. The best you can hope for is to wait in the wings for injuries, temp form loss or fatigue but immediately your chance comes you have to reproduce the form Aguero left behind which is a goal in two matches average.

Managers of top clubs are not willing to have the kind of pancake spare tyres seen in modern cars today. They want equally capable legs on the bench. That is why Gabriel Jesus was brought in but even he cannot sustain the quality Aguero posesses. He cannot reproduce the stats, so Pep will continue searching until he gets another Aguero for safety. Kelechi had become surplus to requirements. City is an ambitious club. They want results quick, quick. He should have gone to a club that isn't desperate for results, not at the gun tip of Gulf Oil cash.

[quote author=DoTheNeedful post=79246007]Good that Kelechi was dropped.

I won't forgive him for the goal he lost against Man City at that critical moment. He gave Man City the EPL trophy and also Pep the reason to be satisfied that he(Kelechi) was kicked out of Man City. [/quote7

[quote author=kapelvej post=79250236][/quote]This is the best comment. He would have punished pep for dropping him. But the fool missed the opportunity]

What makes you think he can't be better just because Aguero has been doing it for years doesn't mean he can't do better than Aguero. And besides if you had read what I wrote properly you would see that I am saying is that kelechi would see Aguero as a competition and that would have been a standard for him to work towards. It would make him a far better player if you are competing with Aguero. Lemme give you an example, who would have a better result someone who's training to be better than Messi or someone who's training to be better than Ozil, you probably know you're answer now.

Competing with Aguero should have made kelechi better and not worse because Aguero is one of the best in the game

I saw that earlier and I predicted his downfall.. Somebody who was at the peak of his career doing so well, all he needed was to stay focus and work harder but he chose to become an Instagram celebrity, going to clubs and partying.

So u be seer or God to predict someone's downfall
Why can't u predict ur account balance,ur success or even a measly 2 sure odds on bet9ja?

Una go just dey chook una mouth anyhow!!!

heskeyw:
We Africans has a lot to learn from the whites. Look at Trent Arnold and mbappe at the peak of their career and yet still focused. All they do is train harder in order to get better. If c. Ronaldo at his age and glory still arrives to the training hours before other team players starts arriving, why shouldn't iheanacho do so. He choose money and flexing over career.

Well said about the training angle. I was listening to Top Radio 90.9 on Monday and one of the presenters said his former coach Nduka Ugbade complained about his lackadaisical attitude towards training.

He has stagnated. Refused to improve.

Look at Samuel chukwueze. He is attracting interest from Liverpool.

Most African players are all like that once they see money! Na to forget futbal and start to they flex like musician

naso una go de make stupid generalization...are mane,keita,salah who UCL not Africans...ihenacho issue is the position he plays he is not an outright striker...he should re invent himself to play midfield football...balogun who is a bench warmer is going to Afcon because not many competition in defence for him...we have about 9 attackers going to Afcon and ihenacho can't score like ighalo,onuachu or osimhen or play fast on the wings like Simon onyekuru musa chukwueze kalu and iwobi offers options of midfield football so why won't he be drop...stop this nonsense of African players when de see money fizzle out

Yes my brother...

Mikel made the same mistake, the saving grace he had is favor, if not Maurinho would av killed him today. Look at Mikel in Netherland 2005 compare to how he played his career you would agree with me that he also missed it by opting for Chelsea instead of ManU

will u keep quiet is Mikel not successful today...mourinho brought out the best in Mikel...Man Utd would have killed his career... a player who has won almost everything in football and played over a decade for Nigeria u still de talk trash...dont even start with that useless comparison with Messi...

Lesson of life: don't abuse someone you have not met physically...

On the issue of Mikel winning every trophies as u claim, how many minutes did he play all the matches that earned his club those trophies?

Will u compare Messi who was his counterpart then in 2005, will u compare Messi's involvement in Barca's trophies to Mikel in Chelsea's trophies? Oh, I'm talking about 2005 when u were probably 10 year old then....

I don't think that's his problem, his problem is "a ladder is supposed to be climbed from the bottom"

His Man city move was his greatest mistake

Was it his manchester city move that made him grow yansh and belly? Was it the move that made him unable to run/ pay attention? Nothing wrong with the move, his sole problem is a lack of discipline and youthful exuberance plus his poverty backround, so, the money has gotten to his head. Ronaldo at 34 is more ambitious and fitter tthan this unserious dude.

Aguero was just a sidestep to the main point of this debate. I hate doing comparisons and idol worship. The main point is: Was the City move the best career path to take.

My position is that City with its ambition was not, simply because they will not give you enough time to perform. They have no big trophy tradition so are in a hurry to catch up with their more illustrious neighbours and the best of Europe. Pep will do his best to polish players and has indeed improved every City player that stayed but there is only that much a coach can do when his own job is at the mercy of trophy success.

Be honest a Kelechi right now is not one to rely to bring in trophies against the biggest and best in England thoughtless of Europe. Better players like Leroy Sane are thinking of leaving. Sane understands the brutality of playing on the same team as world class players and like his European mates understands the importance and value of 'longevity' in sporting careers.

The average top European player will rather want to be playing 50 games a year for half salary than ten games for riches. The understanding is that as long as you advertise yourself your career end is delayed and earnings continue. Gonzalo Higuain knew Juventus were looking big and promptly demanded a transfer away before CR7 arrived. If he had remained in Juve, his career will almost be over by now. In Chelsea it probably has been extended by 2 or 3 years more.

The biggest clubs are the biggest killers of budding talents. The number of youth players who come through the ranks at the Madrids, Barcelonas, Juventus', Liverpools and Manchester Uniteds are negligible. Successes are few and far between. Not the way to gamble with your career.
