Player Topic: Kelechi Iheanacho (2015/16)

Bullshit. There is no way he's 'head and shoulders' above Lopes.

Nope, he's at least 3/4 levels above him!!!

 

[Neville Kneville]

Personally, I think he is

Everything that is in the make up of a top class player this kid has, including the arrogance, obviously this can change, however, the potential of the others, barker, angelino, Maffeo et al, is just that, this kid is ready now.

You might be right but nothing he has done so far is anything Thierry Ambrose or Boadu couldn't do. We don't know how their attitude would be without seeing them.

This isn't true, at all.

He may be one day, but he isn't right now. Lopes was voted in the European team of the week on one occasion last season, ie better than anyone in Europe in his position, at 18.

All about opinions and our guts buddy, for me he just stirs something everytime I watch him play.... I'd also say though that this has been reinforced by his inclusion in the first team squad and a statement of not bringing in another striker.

Let's hope he's not the only one, as its us as a club that benefits..... Exciting times!!

Difference between Kelechi and the rest of our youth prospects is that by watching Kelechi you wouldn't know he was 18 , for now the rest of them still play like 18 year olds

Delighted for him and vindicated managers decision to let Dzeko and Jovetic leave and not bring in a replacement. Bony better watch his back

Imo Lopes.is an average player and I've been saying it for months
And each time I get jumped on by those that know better

Tbh I'm sick of the abuse from those who watch the odd game and think they know it all
Why should I be bullied from the thread when I say Lopes is average?
Manchester City currently are a top team and will only want top players
Until some get that in their heads they will continue to thrash around in here

I was telling people this when he played for the Nigeria U17s mate.

But we have some other serious talent which could end up as good or better imo. Just depends how they take to the first team. Kelechi has a lot more experience of big games. Most of ours have none.
