Kelechi Iheanacho - 2016/17 Performances

If only he cost like £40mil

If true i think the buy back option is a better one. It gives Hoffenheim a bigger stake in his development (too many loan players get overlooked due to squad politics), means if he struggles we at least made some money off him and if he does well it gives us the option of bringing him back to go into the squad or to sell on at a higher price.

Haha so true.

Iheanacho is way better than Rashford or Mbappe, he just doesn t suit Pep s passing game. We are going to regret it.

He should of had much more game time in all the games where we have struggled to convert chances this year. Its not as if we have been lacking a killer touch in front of goal ? ;-) But hey ho he had about an hour in total and didnt score a hattrick so he is going to be cast aside. Nevermind at least we have Navas as an attacking option. Lol

How about Bravo? Both he and Iheanacho look frightened of their own shadows.

Yet, strangely enough, one is indulged while the other is clearly out of favour.

I may have miss read, but are you saying Iheanacho is being 'indulged' by fans or that Bravo is from management?

I don t know how, with all his poor touches and that, every time he has the ball at his feet it looks like something will happen. So dangerous. The kid has the goal in his blood

What hope do youngsters have, if someone with his record is being shipped out at his age? I mean seriously, what are we saying here, if you're not Messi standard you're not good enough? I could have understood it somewhat, if we blessed with a similar strike-force to what we had 5 years ago but we aren't even close to that. As 01cravend rightly pointed out, if he had cost £40m he would have been given far more chances.

The whole club is now being run by a single man, there's probably been nothing similar since Taggart was in power across the road. With some of the decisions he has made and is making, I pray that we haven't backed the wrong horse.

If he had the record he had with us last season with another club, we would be demanding we signed him

Young players are never going to be as good as first teamers, unless the team is shit, but they can take up the slack and improve with coaching, confidence and games

The latter, although injury has now changed the situation.

While not expecting Ian to be a regular starter, I would certainly like to see him being nurtured a little more. We seem to have an old pro getting into the side despite a string of poor performances, and a kid sat on the bench getting very few minutes and possibly becoming dispirited.
