Nmecha remember him?

Nmecha remember him?

In fairness, he was a completely different player back then.

That said, I remember Wigan at home when he absolutely ripped them apart.

Glad to see he’s doing well.
 
He’s been doing well at Wolfsburg, his brother is there too. Having said that Germany don’t have many centre forwards.
 
Obvious class even without the goals, he had everything to make it at the top level. Finishing at senior level comes with experience and confidence, he's got that now.

He's made a few people look silly with their predictions.

Said it at the time but he's the best teenager I've seen play for Preston.

He was ok, but what about 'Kenna, Kilbane, Morley, Lawro?
 
It was obvious he had talent, but of course Preston fans write players off too soon.

Just like the "greatest ever", Ben Pearson.

Mckenna never played above Champ level.

Kikbane was slightly before my time but Nmecha will have a much better career than him. Just a Prem steady Eddie, who turned out for a D list national side.

Didn’t score many for us but had a good touch. Many people slagged him off due to lack of goals. Now playing in Germany’s team vs Armenia. Would love to have the likes of him in our

Thought he was too good for Preston just like Andy Carroll and a couple of years later they were playing and scoring at a higher level. Let's hope Nmecha doesn't have a big money career ending move like Caroll in 2009!

All about opinions but i disagree with your last sentence whilst acknowledging that he has developed since.
To me, he only really showed glimpses of his potential at PNE.
One of the best i saw aside from Howard Kendal and Mark Lawrenson was Michael Robinson. He was pretty awesome when he was coming through, strong, fast and direct. When he was an unknown prospect, centre backs just couldn't handle him, and he went on to have a top career.

All a long time before I watched PNE.

I can't really argue with that. However, the other 2 I mentioned, both won the European Cup with their respective teams. Obviously before your time though.

An obvious talent that the management team at North End couldn’t get the best out of?

I disagree. I thought his performance overall were pretty decent. He had pace and power. The only thing missing was scoring but sometimes that doesn’t come naturally to some strikers straight away.

He also was effective out wide as well. I’m just thinking of the assists for Louie moult at forest and DJ at Blackburn.

That season with us (playing 41 games at championship level) has obviously helped him become the striker he is now.

Really?

I thought he was frustratingly shit and a total waste of money.

There you go.
