Kelechi Iheanacho

[Centurions]

I'm not sure on the rules but if he's back in training (apparently) with everybody else at the CFA doesn't that mean he has a work permit?

I don't think so; he was pictured training with the first team months ago when he certainly didn't have a work permit.

If he doesn’t have one then he can’t be here earning money. Has he not been with us since the summer, I’m pretty sure he isn’t going to be training with the team for sh!ts and giggles all this time waiting for immigration to catch up with him.

Something going on here (other than work permits) ?

For one thing, City don't have to tell us if he has a permit or not, so he could have one. But assuming he hasn't, we already have African players playing outside the country & earning money, so it's pretty certain we can get round paying him easily enough.

His injury is probably responsible for the lack of clarity. Can he even be registered for this season now the transfer window is closed ?

If not, why decide anything or announce anything ?

I think its fair to say that this season is probably a write-off for any Kelechi related news. In terms of him being an actual viable City player.

Which is a fucking pain in the arse as he'd have qualified as HG if he'd been signed up on his 18th birthday.

He might have been, i just meant in terms of seeing City game time. No way we're gonna introduce an unknown with all this at stake i guess. Either way, HG or not he's potentially good enough to be irrelevant towards HG - he could be that important to us eventually that we're happy to sacrifice someone else anyway.

he will still be homegrown as long as he remain here for the next three seasons

HG allows inclusion of the season in which the players turns 21, so that would be the 17-18 season, at the end of which he would have spent 36 months or more

Kelly is ecstatic

He is probably signed up anyway.
