TheGoodJoe:
Nacho was also brilliant before Guardiola and had some good games playing for Guardiola. Keep in mind Guardiola started Iheanacho in one of the Manchester Derbies.
Yes, he assisted the first goal to KDB but has started regressing even before then....

TheGoodJoe:
No one says it is easy to improve a player. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment. However, we have seen players improve steadily under him. From the likes of Sane, Sterling, Otamendi, Stones, Delph etc.

Working under such training environment would have clearly improved Nacho.
Lack of Guardiola is not Nacho's problem.

Those ones you mentioned above are good even before Guardiola grin

Guardiola is that creative and his methods bring out the best and develop players.
Guardiola is creative,,, YES

he prefers left footed,,, YES

He loves those that can hug ball and dribble....Thats where Nacho is lacking.....

It is not easy to improve Nacho

If Dortmund comes for Chukwueze seriously, he should take it with both hands. Their football is a perfect fit for his ability and the club gets it right with young players. Their recent handling of Jadon Sancho is phenomenal. They have played in a brave fashion for a very long time and will bring out the best in him.
Seconded!

TheGoodJoe:
I totally disagree with you. We have lots of games and very limited upfront with Aguero and Gabby Jesus. Gabby had injured, so did Aguero. Nacho's challenge was blending with the system which would come with time. He might even play other roles as we have seen with Delph, Laporte, Zinchenko, Stones, Danillo etc.

We needed Nacho.
And what are the roles?

CM? LB? LW? grin grin

I guess you won't be the first to call him out as an overrated Kid if.... God forbids, he fails to making first XI after the Move?! You call it a defeatist Mentality, I call it a realist Mentality.

Yeah..... It's good to be an Optimist, but I'm more of a Realist than an Optimist. I vividly remember when thegoodjoe was vehemently against Iheanacho leaving Man City, some of us called him Names, but Today he's vindicated.
Forget bro.... If KC is by chance still at city at the moment, he would be probably playing more with with Academy players

If you suspect you have a certain illness, who do you go to? A medical expert, right?.

As I mentioned earlier, my mum is a veteran immigration officer. This kind of thing is what they deal with everyday. This is her field of expertise. Immigration officers are highly and specially trained for this kind of stuff....anybody who's ever been to an embassy interview can testify.

However, I must state that her conclusion was reached based on the very limited evidence I presented to her. One picture is hardly enough material for anybody to draw conclusions from. She may have a different opinion if she were to meet and interact with Chukwueze.
Case closed

Leave Ozil,he have issues

Assist are hard most times ,you might build up so many good goals and the credit will be given to the assister and the scorer.

Calum Wilson won't end at 9 goals
Until then. Since he hasn't, you shouldn't be using it to prove your point.

But Andrew, are we not mad? Discussing of non-nigerian international's in SE thread undecided undecided

I didnt say he has scored 14 but he can get you, he scored about 12 last season

And for your information he is already on 9 goals this season with 5 assists , so what makes you think it will be hard for him to score 6 more goals to that 9 goals with more than 15 games to go?
Not long ago, a player called Oezil contributed about 14 assists in the first half but failed to make it 20 at the end of the season.


We are not talking of what he can do but what he has done

They are not firminho but they are better than solanke

Calum wilson is already an england international linked with a 25million move to chelsea, being an england international and playing for bournemouth says alot,i repeat my self those guys are better than him.

Dont even talk of firminho and salah, even ordinary origi is ahead of solanke at liverpool thats says alot, you think origi is a better playing than calum wilson a player that can score 14 or 15 epl goal a season?

He might fight it out with joshua king

But calum wilson cannot be bench at bournemouth
Being an international is a sign that you are good but not necessarily that you are better than all the uncapped players.

But wait ooo..... Cullum Wilson with 14 EPL goal a season?

No try this kain lie again for here grin

Why some Folks want Chuks to move?! Has he arrived yet? To avoid a sinking Ship that gives him Opportunity to shine and get exposed to the World?!

Let me quickly remind Dudes wanting Chuks to move - of a Player named Mario Gotze! He was the Poster Boy of B. Dortmund before he left for Bayern Munich; and I guess we all know how his Stint panned out at Bayern.

Chuks has no reason to leave Villareal at the Moment, even if the Club unfortunately relegated at the End of the Season. He should rather focus on developing his Game and humbly learning from Santi Carzola.

He's still a Rookie in my Opinion, thus should wholly concentrate on development rather than seeking Transfer to any Club at the moment. Football is unpredictable, the same Perreira that was lighting up La Liga last Season with Valencia is finding it hard to get playing time at United.

I advise we stop suggesting he moves to a bigger or another Club, to avoid Repetition of a touching Story!
He played last season with Villareal B in segunda division.

You are quick to remember Goetze but forgot other hundreds that moved on as Teen with amazing career paths....

It's still on balance though

I showed this picture to my mum who is a veteran immigration officer and asked her to guess the guy's age. She insists Chukwueze was nothing less than 24 years old at the time this picture was taken.

Let's just let sleeping dogs lie.
So you need your mother to validate your point?

I don't think he is 19.But he is very young.

I recall a moniker here once said Chukwueze was hired as a mercenary to play against their school team and that day he disgraced him(the moniker) who before then was known as Marcelo.
That's chrikel

There is no proof he is truly 19. This is Africa.

Also we never learn. A player has barely played a full season we are over hyping him.
Where has all the hype gotten Iheanacho?
Maybe I have to pull up all the hypes on Nacho on this same thread just a few years back.

Media should allow Samu concentrate. He is still developing.
No one is hyping him. We are just saying it as it is.

By the way did you watch the match? If yes, let's continue.... If no, Bye then cool

If you want the pretty fine things in the world the key is to work hard and be consistent.. Irrespective of Uzoho's official age which I no longer believe, he still worked hard and found himself a pretty fine wife.

He is also wearing a Red cap wink..money is good.. Am not of igbo extraction but I often hear those who wear red caps are those who are affluent, wealthy , whom the society deem fit to confere traditional titles.
That's not true

You must consider context and not isolate my comments to misrepresent.

The context is football contract and the reference is too the type of contracts the club has that have lingered on after Sunderland left the EPL. Admittedly they still got the parachute funding so they are still financially viable.

So your comments are totally IRRELEVANT taken in context.
Your stand lacks consistency

And some one will say he is in low level league and club and his level is too low for the SE.

Forgetting that 3 seasons ago Sunderland were in the EPL they still have players on big money long term contracts. Like Brian Oviedo.
But you quickly forgot that that Villareal was in top 6 last season and also that Wolfsburg played Madrid (quarterfinals I think) in Champions League some 3/4 seasons ago
