I agree,he appears a tough little character and has that arrogance/confidence trait that separates him from the norm.

Went to the game last night and have to say that he looks a player. When you factor in the limited amount of time that he must have had playing with the players he was with last night then he really stood out.
As anyone who watched the Youth Cup game vs Chelsea could see. he is still very raw with his talent, but he definitely has talent there.
Whether he is ready to be in contention with the first team yet is another matter altogether. If things are looking sewn up vs Southampton at home it would be good to stick him on for 20 minutes, but he's one for the future for sure.

Definitely agree with all the comments above..... you can tell that this lad has utter belief in his ability and over in Nigeria this lad is being shouted at from the fans to be included in the full national side.
The rumour I have read over their in their press is that it is a few certain full national players for the super eagles that are stopping this from happening by putting pressure on the coach.
He will only get better and throw in a few tricks to beat players he has the ability to reach the top

The Southampton game could be the perfect opportunity to give Iheanacho and Barker a run out.
There's a good chance we won't have anything to play for in that game, I think our top 3 spot will be confirmed by then.
A lot of youngsters are overhyped, but I genuinely think Iheanacho could be world class.

Sterling and Ibe have coped pretty well.
Get him on our bench and give him some minutes! the boost for him and us at the end of a disappointing season would do wonders.
I have to agree, I think for PR and to give the whole club a lift now that it seems nailed on we'll finish at least 3rd we should be using these last 3 games to give the younger players a cameo off the bench. I think we could be really clever about it too, bringing on Barker for Lampard writes its own headlines, or even Milner for that matter.
I was holding out for the work permit to be sorted when it was clear we weren't replacing Negredo last summer because I think he's a player we can throw in at the deep end. He coped making his full debut in the Youth Cup final showing he won't be overawed with playing on the big stage, like he had on pre-season. An eye for a goal and other attributes I would be interested to know just how tall he is because I don't think it's quite the 6"1 somebody has quoted on here.
I wouldn't be too disappointed if he's not counted as 1 of the 4 strikers I feel we should have in our squad for next season as that's putting him under unnecessary pressure and admittedly would be a gamble. What I do think is that he's good enough to be in and around the first team squad for cup games and in an injury crisis rather than looking at a 4-5-0 formation again because I think when given a chance he will make his mark and I think it will spark a lot of media interest when he does.
If we have a repeat of this season, what I hope for and if all goes well (no injuries) you would be seeing Kelechi pushing Jovetic out of the picture, Lopes applying pressure to Nasri during his slump. The key is that when these lads are called upon they have to perform and in these 2 players particularly I'm confident we've found that.
