Kelechi Iheanacho

You do realise that Ian Wright was really good and Arsenal's record scorer before Henry I hope. Add to that he had a decent touch so that alone put him at a different level to Kelechi. West Ham or Southampton is about his level at best.

Yes thanks, I know exactly who Ian Wright is.

I also know that at Kelechi's age Wright was playing pub football, certainly not Golden Boy at a youth World cup with host of the World's best clubs looking to sign him.

In my opinion Iheanacho is better than Ian Wright and would score a bucket full of goals in the right side.
Ironically he's the 'fox in the box' Arsenal have wanted for years.

Aguero is often guilty of a hideous first touch with back to goal, is he inferior to Wright to?
 
Surely we must be guaranteed a forward if we're letting 3 go Kelechi, Nolito and Navas, and pep lamenting our lake of goals, just can't think of anyone plausible and decent apart from Sanchez

Even with my bluest of blue tinted glasses on I could not subscribe to that assessment. Wright was, in addition to being an absolutely prolific goal scorer, blisteringly quick, had plenty of tricks up his sleeve and never gave defenders a moments peace. Kelechi might go on to become a top quality player, although to my eye he lacks a change of gear and his first touch often lets him down, but as he is at the moment I wouldn't swap him for Ian Wright, circa 94, for all the tea in China. Doesn't mean I think Kelechi isn't good, just that he's not the finished article yet
 
Must admit i'll be disappointed if he went to Leicester. I felt the Bundesliga/Hoffenheim would've been an excellent move for him but I can understand why he wants to stay in England until he gets British citizenship.
 
any idea if we put in a buy back or sell on clause billy

I've got no idea other than that it seems every story about the sale has said City are demanding a buy back. Honestly I also think 25 million is CHEAP and we're only selling at that price because we're demanding a buy back.

If playing time improves his 1st touch and therefore him being able to receive the ball with his back to goal, then I think he`ll be one hell of a player

Me too. I think he's got the potential to be world class. A buy back is a smart move even if you lose 10 million off the sale price this summer.
 
He had so much time to improve under pep. Was he not able to improve with what pep needs?
 
He`s currently similar to Edin in that he looks massively more comfortable with the ball played for him to run onto

Weirdly enough when he was younger he seemed to have a better first touch. IMO what he needs is a serious run of games in a team where there isn't the pressure that he was under at City last season. I think we'll see him go up a level real quick.
 
gutted if he goes. really think he can be a special player for us if we give him the time.

When he was playing regularly he had a much better all round game.

There's a reason they're insisting on the buyback clause, he could easily have a 20 goal season like Lukaku at West Brom, and I think the "poacher" tag will be gone within months as he stares regularly and gets room to show off the other parts of his game.
