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 think that's in doubt.
I think Kelechi will have a better record in the Premier League, as a striker, once he gets fully match fit, than Success currently does in Spain. I think he is a better footballer, full stop.
I think it's one goal in about 19 games for Success isn't it ?

I can understand that you have bias toward him, because he's a city player but as a Nigerian and neutral, it's as clear as day that Success is the better player whether you like it or not.
I'm guessing reading isn't your strongest attribute....

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 it again Kelechi is a #10 he's no striker.I'm guessing you have the hots for a non City player & are ignoring the FACT that Kelechi was voted the best player at the World Cup, not the fucking African Cup. He has barely played any serious football since then, has had injury problems & is not yet fully match fit.
When he is, I recon he will produce more than one goal & one assist if he gets 19 games in City's first team. Is that simple enough for you ?

You still seem to be giving hypothetical situations, youth football is nothing compared to senior football (something a lot of fans don't seem to understand) And with his workrate/lack of workrate I doubt Pellegrini would even give him 19 appearances.
Who you on about mate? Seen Nacho a fair bit and he is class.dont really see how people can be judging a player based on 2 world cup games
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.You are talking about a comparison from an old championship where he was about 15 years old & then advising me on how youth football is different ? His last major tournament, fully fit, was the World Cup. He wasn't voted Nigeria's MVP, he was THE MVP. 6 goals & 6 assists in 7 games, in the World Cup.
I am not criticising the other player, but he is older, more experienced & Kelechi has not played much serious football for a long time. I fully understand that his position is No 10, but imo, when fit, he is a better player than Success in whatever position he plays; he is just better, & at City he is playing more as a striker at the moment . The other lad is fast, strong & difficult for young kids to mark.Kelechi is class though. He may not get 19 games for City next season, but if he does, I recon, from what I've seen of him, that he will be a level above Isaac Success, he looks a natural who will score goals & create assists in our first team . I also think Yahaya is a level above too.
I don't think it is an accident that City & Spurs have gone for those two.
