Player Topic: Kelechi Iheanacho (2015/16)

......................he wouldn't be eligible for the B-list until October 2016.

Hopefully, by then, he will be on the A-list!

I think his eligibility may come down to when his registration transferred to City but when that is could be a little vague.

Lots of uncertainty surrounding the Nacho signing. Linked from early 2014 and he played for us pre season in the summer that year so I think we must have been trying to sign him from January or even earlier to that point, however, nothing was ever official from the club that I can remember and there was very little reference to him on the OS (I don’t think he was on EDS squad list last year). There was a great deal of speculation about his work permit right up until he made his EDS debut toward the end of the 2014/15 season but as said I don’t think that is the issue – its when forms were sent in to the FA to register Nacho as a City player. There are reports that the contract started on his 18th Birthday (October 2014) that would mean he played that pre-season as a trialist!

I sense that there might be some lawyers and UEFA officials looking at the eligibility of Nacho to be registered on the B list as we speak.

It's ACON rules that they can't sign a Pro contract outside Africa until they turn 18. Whether that stopped him being registered with us earlier is more difficult to gauge.

Just think about all those rags who probably tuned into the last 5 minutes of this game thinking we were about to drop points only to see Nacho score a last minute winner. Must have been heartbroken.

*Mr Burns voice* Excellent.

I'm really interested in precisely what aspects of his diet he's changed (I'm doing a PhD in football physiology and nutrition).

I would probably hazard a guess and say an adjusted training regimen has been the main reason for the reduced number of injuries.

Nutrition does play a big part of course but there's not much scientific evidence on overall diet, just what players should consume in recovery from matches.

I do agree that you can be fit without having a good diet or health but if you've got inflammatory issues where the tendons, ligaments, muscles don't heal fully or repair as quickly then health is key, a truly healthy person will not only recover quicker but fully recover, even moderate adjustments will see improvements. Seeing as you're studying this, I'd highly recommend speaking to a vegan or preferably a high raw vegan who is into fitness/sports.

why not a continuation of the argentinian blues song

we've got yaya toure
we've got wilfried bony tooooo
we've got keleichi iheanacho
thereee our african blues
our african blues, are coming after you
our african blues are after you

then switch everytime, nice bit of variation there

For guys who are interested in a song for Kelechi Iheanacho, i think its too early for that. But this is some help

Using the kolo and yaya toure song, i think its better to use a short form of his first name.

Kele Kele, Kele Kele, Kele kele kele kele

Kele pronounced as Kay-lay or K-lay

Iheanacho is pronounced e-han-na-cho...cho as in chop w/o the p or church w/o the tch at the end...e-han-na-cho coming at ya..

Does anyone know why Kelechi didn't figure at all yesterday. Not even on the bench.
