Kelechi Iheanacho

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 chances? He'll most likely spend more time with their B team to and improve his workrate. So from what you've seen of him, i'm guessing playing for City's U21's? The standard of play in that U21 league is so poor it's hard to believe.

Sorry dude, but I follow Nigerian players as a hobby and Moses Simon is hands down the best individual player on this squad, but IMO he shouldn't have been called up.

The World Cup involves more than just African players.

How the fuck this point has flown by, i have no idea.

Good luck with your hobby.

What odds can I get for him to be the Premier League top scorer next season? Sounds like easy money.

The suggestion that Kelechi might do better than one goal & one assist, in his first 19 games in the Premier League, is somehow outrageous to you & deserves this kind of sarcasm ?

And you think that is honest debating of a City player's credentials, on a City forum ?

I recon there are probably rags who would give more leeway than that, just to appear neutral. You may be here to try & big yourself up, but I'm here to talk about City, & people like you are just a waste of fucking space. Why don't you fuck off to the main forum. & post some pictures of a cat eating a playstation ?

Just a guess, but it might've been refered to this nigerian lad signed by Spurs
 
Martins was starring in the Champions League latter stages for Inter at the same age as Kelechi; by '23' his career was the epitome of obscurity.

I do like Kelechi, but I wouldn't bank on him until he's had two/three years in men's football before making an accurate judgement.

Would be interesting to get the Nigerian fella's insight into the alleged age falsifying of players such as Kanu and Taribo West, and whether it's still as rife as it was in the 90's/early 2000's.

No, this is absolutely about a City fan, on a City forum, dissing the prospects of one of city's most talented kids, because he put himself in that camp & has decided he has to stick with it.

It's really that sad.

The other lad is just an African football bloke with a different opinion. I think he's wrong but that's just a difference. The City fan however, dear me.
 
Wants to wait until a young player plays even a minute of first team football before dubbing him a 20 goal a season striker = "dissing the prospects" of said player

"Dear me", odd that only the one extreme is allowed. The lad is jesus christ superstar, better?

The personal abuse is a nice, ironic touch

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 rarely have to confirm their ages) of him coming to England in 2011 I believe, they even won a tournament against the likes of the youth teams of Arsenal, City, etc....

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 the more impressive player and I doubt he'd even make Granada's first team, just take a look at that Ghanaian Agboagye that won the bronze ball in 2013.
 
Why don't we wait and see who will turn oit better? No one is going to change their opinion and only time will tell for now.

Nothing is decided at 17 years of age.

And again, he plays almost as a CM. In fact, probably it was meant to be behind the striker, which is fine, but because they mostly just defended the score, he really dropped back deep. His job was basically just to protect the ball and pass it (backwards) as safe as it is possible, so it is hard to judge after these 10 minutes. He took his simple job well.
 
So far Taiwo Awoniyi had stolen both Isaac Success's and Kelechi Iheanacho's thunder. Manu Garba going for players from the squad that were part of his AYC team.

It goes without saying (But not for everybody unfortunately).

Don't like that guesswork like whether he will fail or not, although Kelechi has shown some awesome different skills (especially cool-blooded and finishing) and the waiting of him to be playing in the 1st team again is mouthwatering

Obviously it tells you that the African Cup is better than the World Cup. Or perhaps not, seeing as they got arsefucked by Brazil in this one.

Kelechi was the best player in the U17 World Cup. A competition which involves teams other than those from Africa. That was the last time he was 100% match fit. He was the star of that team.

Can't you understand that it doesn't matter since another guy played a bit better than him in the African youf Cup 2 years ago? This is what's really vital and crucial

Before you start typing obvious things, I'd like to say that this is [obviously] sarcasm. Don't see why argue if that nigerian guy seriously thinks that AfricanNations Youth Cup is a more competitive/vital tournament than WC u17
