Rooney is one of the best players in the EPL with many trophies and personal awards. I wonder what other height you want him to attain. As for Wilshere, his career progress was hampered by injury, good thing he's getting over it. Don't know much about Bojan.

BlazeyJ: Iheanacho is simply good, my main question now is, "can he perform at the highest level for both country and club, for years to come"?.. Only time will tell, i'm wishing the lad a great career.
And he should forget girls for now, and concentrate on his career.

sheylarhh:
Remember Stanley Okoro and Fortune Chuwukudi also passed d MRI test!... Where dem dey now.... Abi u also wan tell dey were Under17 too dat time

vokalguy: Watching the game at the monet, I know it is just a friendly but ladies and gentlemen, I can say we have a gem in our hands! Now lets hope he can get game time, that is very important at this point in time. For a 17 year old, he is confident on the ball, not scared to take shots, knows how to dribble, ready to distribute the killer pass that will unlock a defense... and he is just 17!!!

SweetDinma:

One step at a time

tbaba1234:

He passed multiple MRI tests showing that he is within the age. MRI tests are 99% accurate

Unless na you born am

spenx084: If only he was in Arsenal FC......Coach Wenger is the master of bringing up young stars...MAN City big names wont let his boy come close to first 11 for years to come because they will prefer to buy already made stars than giving youth a chance.

sheylarhh:
typical Nigerians wit dere insults ontop small mata... Compare ur luk and stature wen u were 17yrs of age wit iheanacho current luk,, den tell me wu is proofless

komekn:

MRI tests are indicative not absolute they give an age range not a definitive result. depending on a range of factors such as genetic disposition, nutrition, bone density, etc a 22 year old can easily pass.

komekn: Manchester City may prove a big mistake for him, how many youth players from their academy have made it to the 1st team in the last 5 years apart from Micah Richards almost zero.

Iheanacho is actually one of the cheaper players they have bought the two boys they bought last year from Le Havre cost £Millions to mention but a few, he should have gone to a club that will enable him develop not City.

tbaba1234:

They are not absolute in terms of actual age but it gives the bone age. It is only in rare cases that a 22 year old will pass. In Africa, 19-20 years might pass but it is far better than what used to happen.

In the developed world, nutrition is better so kids are their normal growth age, Abuchi bones were just more developed than it should be.

These extremes are rare.

Iheanacho is also a product of the NFF u13/15 programme.

The bottom line is that we are finally getting a bunch of geniunely young players.

Man City knows that he is a special talent. How are we sure City did not splash millions to get him to append his signature. He will break into the first team before too long. I continue to believe that if Keshi had given him a chance in Brazil he would have been a difference maker. There is no justification for leaving him out of the world cup team. Keshi would have done himself a lot of good taking Ihenacho and Kalu Uche to the world cup, but o well hindsight.

For once I am beginning to believe that Keshi is not progressive minded. He had a chance to set himself apart, and attract possible suitors from around the world he blew it.

nifton: Wen i said dis boi shud av been at d world cup in place of mikel, pple crucified me dat he is too tender and inexperienced.Abeg dat guy dat came off d bench and scored d US only goal against d Red devil no be 16 im dey.

zoboizee: keshi took certain players to the world cup for pecuniary reasons( my believe though). remember after the WC he went to the president and said he wanted 10mill monthly & upfront. kelechi, that boy is a class act. movement, link up play, control of the ball, shielding opponents, passes and shooting technique. for a young nigerian, he is awesome.

joseph1013:


It's so interesting because even in the U-20 team presently he's not exactly the best player, there are boys ahead of him as far as Manu Garba's selection is concerned. We got boys in the same class as him in the team. My head is spinning at the bright prospects of these boys for the future

tbaba1234:

Exactly, I rate success ahead of him.

Manu garba did a great job scouting.
