Kelechi Iheanacho

[Neville Kneville]

The guy has talent

Many don't care mate.

He had his five minutes & we have new toys now.

Fuck me. The lad will be the next George Weah with a hint of Didier Drogba thrown in after Leicester's doctors and scientists get hold of him.

This didn't go unnoticed :)

Better toys or just new toys?

I get confused by homegrown rules. Is he technically hg cause he was in our academy?

If we're looking at Mbappe/Sanchez, then along with Jesus & Aguero, Iheanacho is fourth choice striker.

It's better for his development to go out and play. Personally I think he'll potentially go somewhere and be brilliant, he's an excellent young player.

I was initially annoyed at the thought of selling him, but then I wondered would people be happy if currently he played at West Ham and we signed him for £25m? We'd probably moan that it didn't make sense. I think taking the sentiment out of it it's probably good business, he'll get very few chances and his value will drop if he's not playing.

Don't think he has to be in the academy just registered with us for 3 years before 21.

25m is good business by any means but it's exactly that 'sentiment' you say which I cannot put out of its context. We have (had) a gem in our hands and overall these last two years for him at us have been brilliant I think, you shouldn't really ask for better back-up strikers, not to mention that it was mostly this year where he solely functioned as a properish striker, mainly because of the demands of the system.

Anyway, my point just is that to 'justify' all we did and will do this summer, Pep really needs to deliver and win the league with the squad he'll have. But I'm confident he can, and then all would be good again, of course. :)

Iheanacho needs to play to help with his development. At City or elsewhere.

I think it will be elsewhere.
