Player Topic: Kelechi Iheanacho (2015/16)

[Blue Haze]

He needs playing time. He's no fool, he knows how good is.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

I think it's time we started treating him like a senior member of the squad instead of a kid

Bony needs to step it up or Kelechi will be leaving him in his slipstream. Great to see the youngster on and doing well.

He's managing him excellently... The experience he is gaining is paramount to his future development... We can all see how good he's going to be, let him develop,..the same people chopping at the bit to bin bony, will be the same who turn on the kid!!!

I hope it's part of a long-term strategy but I somewhat doubt it. Is it really in Pellegrini's interest to do so when he's only going to be here a short while longer? I doubt Pellegrini is carefully planning our future rather than trying to get the most out of the short-term hence starting Bony who he'd deem as more 'ready'.

Totally agree, showed great energy and enthusiasm for the goal - don't think Bony would have scored that.

He needs to play without the pressure. Bony is always under pressure when Sergio is injured. Remove the pressure and we have two great players in both Bony and Nacho.

Like it or not, Bony is a 20m plus player, he starts every day of the week over the kid, not because of perceived ability but, as mentioned earlier, the kid remains hungry in this position... Manuel could easily alienate bony should he make that decision, one which at present, isn't hampering the boys development...

We have this kid for the next 10/11 years should all go to plan!!!

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I can't help but think if we had paid £40m for him MP would find a spot for him in the team.

 

[gomer27]

but not the relentless possession or tiring of Hull's legs?

No

Bony is a 20m plus player because that's what we foolishly paid for him. If we were to sign Joey Barton for £50,000,000 it does not mean he shall play like a £50,000,000 player!
