People tend to forget or neglect the new car once a new and more expensive one is purchased, but as time goes on, they realise they can't drive a Lamborghini or Ferrari on a bumpy road. Iheanacho will show his immense potentials elsewhere, then all these plastic fans calling him crap eat humble pie. Go back and watch his games under Pellegrini, you'll realise how much confidence he's lost under Guardiola. My take is, if you don't wanna use him, then sell him.
Agree completely. Hes a great prospect but his game time will be limited for the next season or two. This will hamper his progress. We should loan him (not sell) and let him develop further then when Aguero goes hopefully Kelechi is ready to step in. If he doesnt develop then we visit that situation as requires.I don't think anyone is calling him crap though. He's very highly regarded by most City fans, and the vast majority want him to stay and be a success here.
Im pretty sure I've seen some "fans" call him crap or some similar words. And as Cambiaso said, you just need to look at his games last season to see how big of a talent he is and we would be stupid to get rid of him. Guardiola needs to find a way to give him some minutes though.I don't think anyone is calling him crap though.

needs to go out on loan and come back better and stronger
Completely agree, but the choice of club is absolutely vital. For me it needs to be a Premier League side first and foremost, maybe Newcastle or Brighton if they're promoted?
I'm not convinced we should loan him out unless we intend to sell him. I think he'd be better off here training with Jesus so he can learn exactly what Pep wants from a forward. Out on loan he'll be able to continue playing the way he does now and that won't get him any closer to being ready for us.
I think Pep has deliberately taken him out of the firing line, because his form was a bit iffy, just to look after him, not because he can't use him.
It's a standard method used to bring players through without overdoing it.
It's just that we aren't used to seeing it happen, at City, anymore. Ferguson did the same with almost all their 'Class of ****s' at various times.

Ive been saying this a bunch, but I personally hope we can get him loaned to a club like Sevilla, some former Blues are there and Pep would trust Sampaoli to mentor him. Plus they lose Vietto who returns to Atleti.
He called Jesus, Sane and Sterling the future and made no reference to Kelechi.
I take your point but I also worry as to whether Pep actually rates him. He called Jesus, Sane and Sterling the future and made no reference to Kelechi.
I hope Kelechi stays for a long time, he's got his flaws but at such a young age I'm convinced a coach like Pep could make him great.
