Also Jovetic has had a terrible season with injury...but is a quality player.
I also think you need to remember these are pre-season games and are to gain fitness
I am sure this Nigerian squad are very good...but at the moment they are just starting out and you can only tell when they have a full season how good they may become.
Hopefully we sign Iheanacho and he becomes the superstar we are looking for. Only time will tell
Sure. I'm just saying from my experience of watching these guys at two tournaments. Yes, they were playing against other youth, but some stuff just stands out regardless of age.
The thing is with these players, that I've never before seen a group od youngsters play at the level the Nigeria U17 played. Nigeria has won the U17 World Cup before, but its not the fact that they won it that counts. It how they did it and what football they played.
BTW I have said this before, but the general consensus about this U17 team was that Iheanacho wasn't the best player, Isaac Success was (currently with Udinese, on load at Granada). Both players are mouthwatering prospects.
He scored 6 goals and made 7 assists. Going by these statistics , he was their best player.
