Much better to be struggling at a higher level than to be a big fish in a small pond in the youth ranks, but I guess you've never watched this Granada team, because If a forward in that team can notch up to 8 goals in a season, that's a top Striker IMO. Just look at Ighalo who scored 20 in the...

I is for Iheanacho http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Team-news/2015/June/City-A-to-Z-I-is-for-Ireland-Immel-Internationals-Iheanacho/1433517620 One of the brightest prospects to emerge from African youth football in recent times,Kelechi Iheanacho is expected to break into the senior side at some point...

What does it tell you that Nigeria couldn't win the African version then? You're the one trying to convince me he's better than Success and I'm telling you the only two tournaments they've both participated in (and were both fit) was the CAF U17 and the current U20 World Cup, success has been...

On the last point, I believe Kelechi is using his real age, our Football federation actually did something right by starting our youth players from U13's almost a decade ago to fight this. Kelechi is one of the players that was part of it and there's at least picture evidence (something we...

You do realize that both the African and World U17 occurred in the same year? Well that is exactly my point, you are the one pointing out Success' stats in La Liga without knowing that he was the best player of that U17 set, so you think he'd score more in that Granada team that barely create...

Their both Nigerian to me so I have no bias clouding my judgement. I call it as I see it and besides the current U20 tournament that African Tournament was the only tournament where both players were fully fit and Success was the better player by a narrow margin. I've said it before and I'll say...

I'm guessing reading isn't your strongest attribute....

So now, you're just giving a hypothetical situation? Both players were involved in the African U17 Championship 2 years ago one was the top goalscorer in the tournament, whilst the other came second, since you're good at these statistics could you please tell me who won the golden boot? I can...

Seems like you might be following me on twitter, because I said the exact same thing when I was watching that same game

Nope. He neither has the pace, or dominating physique to be a mainstay in either positions , he's a pure #10 but needs to improve on his workrate. Yahaya was given the ball more, maybe because he was actually fighting to regain possession of the ball unlike Kelechi.

And what role do you think that is exactly? Because Isaac Success is a much better than him as a striker and that is really not in doubt. The main person to blame for that Brazil will fall squarely on Manu Garba, his worst performance as a Coach for the past 2 years. Kelechi has always been a...

The best player in the squad is Moses simon (hasn't played a minute) whilst second is Isaac Success and the Wilfred Ndidi. Kelechi is a huge talent but was just behind the pace in that game against Brazil.

You're half right. Our (Nigeria's) kit contract with Adidas ended in December 2014. Thus our idiot of a federation decided to come to the UK to sign one of the worst kitting deals at least for a national team. Take it like this; the likes of Namibia and Botswana wouldn't accept such a deal.

I know he has the finishing of a Striker, but Kelechi is wasted being played up top, his creativity is one of his most underrated attributes. He's almost a carbon copy of James Rodriguez imo.

He's capable of playing as an out and out striker, but his natural position and the position that led to City signing him was playing just behind the striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation. His creativity is something that's really wasted if he's played as a striker. If you guys wanted a striker, you...

Anyone know why he was being played as a Striker? He's som much more effective when played in the hole just behind the striker, or even as a deep-lying playmaker. Hopefully he's fit enough to make Manu Garba's Squad for New Zealand.
