I agree. Good poacher and some nice movement at times but all round game not good enough currently. I had high hopes for him but thought he was very average last seaso. I think £25m is good money for him to be honest.

What message? Come to us and you will eventually have a platform to sign for a very good Premier League side who won the league 2 seasons ago? It's not like we have ruined his career we have given him a platform to go on and play in the best league in the world.

but is that the platform for our youth academy all the money we spend on youth is for somebody else ???

manchester city need to bring in the youth more and more and not just sell them and in iheanacho who a very good striker by the way just needs game time i understand the points of others like we jesus and aguero but why sell somebody with talent from the youth for another striker who is aged 28 and cost over £50million

hahahah at what point does that quote stand up check his record for goals to starting games its the best in europe never mind the premier league
all he needed was a good run in the first team and not just come of the bench when city was in trouble and all the weakness like first touch at times would have gone from his game the lad is a born goal machine and ready i just don't understand what point your making about not good enough
 
A great move for all parties, player gets much needed games and experience in the PL and if he's good enough will develop and blossom into a player we will want to bring back.

This. We won't know how good he can be unless he becomes a first team player somewhere. Good luck to him!
 
I've seen Iheanacho have an awful touch a few times in a game but I've also seen him make great passes to players (very good players) who weren't switched on enough. So imo it evens out and I wouldn't put Iheanacho far behind Aguero at all - which for 25m is a great deal.

A few awful touches doesn't mean he has an awful touch. We'd have to see a lot more of him to say that imo.

I always felt that he had the hunger to score/win/fight and I hope that stays with him. As soon as he believes he's made it or on the flip side that he's not as good as the rest he's done imo because he's a quiet soul. Best of luck to him!

Well for a start Sanchez is one of the best players in the world and unlike Kelechi he's more versatile.

If you told me last summer Kelechi would be a sold a year later I would have been gutted but hes really struggled to impress when hes had a chance. A record fee for us and a chance for regular game time for him seems a good deal all round. Would be surprised if there wasn't a buy back deal as well.

You clearly like him and you certainly won't be on your own amongst our fans, but Pep hardly played him last season and obviously doesn't consider him good enough to displace the other forwards in the first team.

But if he moves and gets regular playing time, demonstrating that he has the necessary ability , then he could well come back to the club ( assuming we install a buy back clause in the transfer package ) .

In the meantime, he will not progress sitting on the bench, and I wish him well wherever he signs with.

but is pep always right in his choices ????

pep the manager is what our owners wanted most and to a point from mancini to pellegrini there was only one man for the job at manchester city pep now after the first season and a couple of hiccups along the way a and free season if you like now for the first time in his manager role pep is under pressure he feels we the club cannot wait any longer for success in champions league and premier league and wants the biggest squad to play with

i don't see many players at manchester city who are called just a squad player pep is stocking up on world class options this is the only reason why he is selling iheanacho there is no time for youth to gel and fit in this season must be all or nothing for pep and wants big players in roles for every game but this is why i feel pep is wrong

last season joe hart was it right to loan him out and bring in bravo the answer is clearly NO and now iheanacho is being told sorry your out and we need a space for a new striker
so pep is not always right

Pep is not always right, nobody are. I would like to offer a slightly different version of the your statement above. I think it was correct to loan Joe Hart out (as we could not sell him). Clearly Bravo did not work out, so we can call that decision wrong.

Because we need clinical finishing right now. In two years when Aguero is likely gone and Sanchez is older we can buy him back as a 24 year old as he is entering his peak years.

Pep may not always be right, but the owners have decided that he fits their requirements, and so whatever you and I think about his decisions are not going to change the direction in which the team takes.

I respect your opinion , but can accept why the sale is being made, and wish the player well.
 
If we have a buy back clause, which my impression is that we have, I really can't see how we can loose here. Let the boy go and learn somewhere else. If he becomes the star we hope for, then we can buy him back for a reasonable figure. Sounds good to me.
