Kelechi Iheanacho

The only thing that I don't like about that arrangement is that he won't go on to be HG CT.

Not sure how your homegrown rules work. Wouldn't he count if he's just on loan?

Will he get a work permit for here as a special talent or whatever the real phrase is?

As long as he's City's player, i.e. we hold his permanent registration, then he doesn't have to physically be in the country or involved in City's training to build up his time as a "Home Grown" player. If he did then that would hamper a great deal of loan opportunities for players and would result in players stagnating in reserve sides just so they could reach the magic 3 year mark and be a club trained home grown player.

Discussed in the EDS forum too, can't find any source, but saw this today:

"In a rather farcial episode in the Champions League last 16 last season, Arsenal had to withdraw young winger Ryo Miyaichi from their matchday squad to face Bayern Munich after it emerged that the Japan international was ineligible.

As the 21-year-old had been at the club for over three years and was the right age, the Gunners had assumed that he did not have to be registered. But, due to his loan spells at Feyenoord, Wigan and Bolton, he had not spent the necessary time at the club to qualify. As a result, Arsene Wenger had only six of his seven substitutes at his disposal due to the clerical error."

Iheanacho would be 18 when he signs for us, so I would assume that he would need to spend all his time at City till he is 21 if we want him to be HG CT, if the above is correct.

Surely to "sign" for us as an over 18 he'll need a work permit, even to play for the EDS, or are there special rules to allow for young talent to be nurtured ?

should have written when/if he gets a work permit...it was more in the sense that hopefully he'll get a work permit when he turns 18

I'm not convinced the MLS is the best destination for him,time will tell I guess.

It was genuine question, not necessarily aimed at just you, as I don't keep up with all the ins and outs of work permits. Hopefully a bluemoon expert can give us a brief summary of rules on players around 17/18 from outside the EU, I'm genuinely interested, because I can see this being a route to so called "home grown" talent, if we can't find any english/british youngsters good enough.
