Kelechi Iheanacho

Could he be called up to the first team for the final few games? He really needs some senior football and Nasri is out for good.

I doubt it.

He's not registered, and players U-21 must've spend 2 years at the club to eligible without registration if i remember correct.

But no matter what i think he might be burned out a little by now. Just returned from injury and played so many matches in such a small amount of times.

That rule is only for CL, he can play in the premier league
 
Let him refresh, give him a pre-season with the first team and next season he'll be a good asset on our bench.

I have been impressed by him, more so in last years pre-season however in recent EDS matches you can see the talent there, very much an eye for goal, and comes back to help retrieve the ball alot... my only gripe from tonights match was he tried playing himself into safety and he messed up, losing the ball and Porto went on the counter attack... luckily they didn't score.

Definitely is a talent, hopefully he'll maintain his fitness/progression.

Get 3rd place sewn up and get him on the bench now.
 
Please play him.
How long is his contract with us for?

Got a feeling he is something special.
 
He won't be playing in the first team, now he has helped the EDS to their first trophy,, while proving his fitness, he will be off to join up with Nigeria u20's for the upcoming World Cup.
 
IHEANACHO WILL BATTLE AGUERO FOR MAN CITY SHIRT

Monday May 11, 2015. 17:44
AfricanFootball.com has specially learnt that Nigeria starlet Kelechi Iheanacho has turned down a chance to go on loan from top EPL side Manchester City, preferring instead to battle the likes of Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko for a first-team place at City.

An inside source at City told AfricanFootball.com Iheanacho, who has been granted his work permit in the United Kingdom, was given the option to go on loan so as to play regular first-team football and then return to the club a lot more experienced.

But he turned down this chance, insisting he would rather stay back at the club and fight to make the first team.

“He refused to go on loan. He and his representatives have told City he would rather battle the likes of Aguero and Dzeko for a place in the first team,” revealed the source.

“His compatriot, Chidiebere Nwakali, opted for a loan move away to Malaga because his management team believe he has to gain experience outside the club before he could really challenge for a place in the City main team.”

The 18-year-old Iheanacho, who is bound for this month’s FIFA U20 World Cup with Nigeria, was a big hit during City’s pre-season tour of the USA in the summer.

He has fully recovered from injuries to score goals for Manchester City U19 and U21 teams recently.

I love his confidence, gotta have that as a striker. Why would we send him on loan? If he can't make the first squad none of these others have any hope, he's miles ahead of most of them.

Love him too but it's important to get a lot of game time at his age, wouldn't mind loaning him out to a lower bpl team where he'd be their first or at least second choice striker. Hope we follow chelsea's path when they decided to loan out Lukaku. Wouldn't want him outside of the prem though, there is no other league like it and he's good enough to start playing serious starter minutes in it. Imagine him learning the league in a mid table team like swansea or southampton where he can play along real talent and learn the prem and be ready to be a stud for us at 19... No need to rush him into our first team when he has more than a decade left in him.
 
The potential is obvious to us, i think its up to the club to advertise him via bits of game time if we want to get him a PL loan. Getting managers and clubs reading about us playing him seems to be the only way they tend to take notice. He could certainly force his way to a starting role at some of the lower half teams, which at 18 and not a huge lumbering beast is really something.
 
Great news!!!!
