Its Manchester City for Kelechi Iheanacho

Father of Golden Eaglets star Kelechi Iheanacho said the final choice of Manchester City was because God will lift him there. James Iheanacho told MTNFootball.com:”We prayed yesterday and after due consultations with family members, we came up with Manchester City believing he has a future there. That is where he will be uplifted.”
The family meeting, which was attended by the football star, went on past midnight on Monday. Last week, there was a major falling out between father and son over the choice of a European club for the MVP of the 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup. Kelechi had insisted on Portuguese champions FC Porto, which would have also taken Eaglets teammate Chidera Ezeh as part of the bargain. But his father wanted him to take up the offer from Manchester City or Chelsea. Kelechi finally got home in Owerri on Monday morning after he left home for several days without the consent of his father. The father had to go on radio to say his son was missing. Who thinks thats a good move???

VIDEO:See Barcelona in goal galores without Messi

                        If you think Barcelona will suffer from scoring due to the absence of Messi then you are probably wrong has the team keeps scoring. The tactical influence of Martino has not put too much influence on Messi like the eras of Guardiola and Vilanova which is good for the team. My verdict remains that Barca will still be on top till Messi returns and this might be another amazing season for the club.

Watch Chelsea Beat West Ham 3-0

                        Mourinho's new haircut sparked a ready for war debate which somehow looked true. When the match kicked off Jose was on his fit signifying a bit of pressure considering their recent form in the league. A quick response was seen through Oscar and Lampard. Lampard has good record playing against his former side and he kept it going with 2 goals which moved his all time leading goal record to 207 a fantastic record for a midfielder. With Mikel holding back in the 4 position Lampard looked free to move out on attack and this formation might seem suitable for Chelsea. West ham craeted few chances which they never utilised.
