Kelechi Iheanacho

[It could have been 10]

You can add Angelo henriquez to that list of players the rags have got via the exceptional talent rule. Who, I hear you ask? Yeah I've hardly heard of him either

Guillermo Varela, Mame Biram Diouf, Marcos Rojo

The hearings are obviously held in the united boardroom.....

I seem to think Varela was signed after appearing in a world youth tournament (can't remember what age level), But Uruguay did not win the tournament & Varela was not voted most important player of the tournament & scored no goals & provided no assists. So if Iheanacho is denied a work permit on the exceptional talent ruling something obviously stinks.

Doesn't he have to be 18 to get a work permit?

Yes, and that's in October.

Just read the interview posted on the previous page with the Crew manager and he mentions that he is going to join us in the fall. I think Nacho is odds on to be our 4th striker and the club seem confident of a work permit as soon as he turns 18.

I think you will find the work permit bit is not going to be that simple.

Agreed but considering the club let Guidetti go I feel they are confident of getting it done and putting him in as a 4th choice striker. We only have Jordi Hiwula otherwise.

If I remember rightly here, in the past some players have been given a work permit and their clubs have been told that if they are not used their permits will be blocked. I'm not quite sure on this but something in the back of my mind is saying this to me.

I thought guidetti's loan fell through.

Nope, the SFA gave them an extension as their side of the deal was done well before the deadline it was just some paperwork from our end that we faxed through late. The transfer was ratified yesterday.

Iheanacho - Our 4th Striker?

There is a thread about this lad already on the Academy forum but I've heard that he may join the senior squad when he signs formally in October. There are some doubts apparently about him getting a work permit though which may see him start off in New York.
There seems to be genuine excitement about his quality and he did look pretty special for a 17 year old in pre-season. Maybe it was a factor in the odd decision to let Alf go.
