Kelechi Iheanacho

The only thing Jesus has ahead of Nacho is a full season of first team football. He's been playing much worse under Guardiola, even regressed, lost his self-belief (what do you expect if you score and assist vs Manchester United then get hauled off after 60 minutes and benched for over a month?). Pep's man-management with Iheanacho has been absolutely dreadful.

 

Iheanacho is a different type of player, but his goalscoring stats are insane. Jesus never had those kind of stats in Brazil.

 

I thinks you guys are massively underrating how big his potential is. He was higher rated than Rashford just a year ago, but Rashford is a starter, while Iheanacho couldn't even start games for Man City, despite scoring 4 goals and having 3 assists in 293 minutes of football by the end of October (that's a goal or assist every 42 minutes). Despite that Iheanacho failed to play a single minute of football for an entire month (November), after which suddenly he was thrown off the deep end when he became Man City's only striker. Naturally he was rusty, but still scored a goal on his first start in over a month... The one below:

 

 

And still Pep was unsatisfied and showed him no faith.

 

He got one more chance to prove himself - the loss vs LCFC. Pep gave him 58 minutes and its as if he was blamed for the poor showing. After that he barely saw the ball again...

 

Sure, he's not as dynamic as Jesus, but he's much more intelligent, has a better passing range, better vision and furthermore is a threat with a longshot (not to mention his finishing is as cool as it gets). He just needs a chance to play to his strengths and Leicester affords him that.

 

He's also been played out of position, being forced as a centre forward, while he's obviously best suited as a second striker or attacking midfielder.

If he is a success, we get our pants pulled down in two years. If he isn't, we get them pulled down now.

There is little point taking this deal on with a buy back clause, we should just look elsewhere.

Buyback clauses could well be the thing that kills football, it's stopping the smaller clubs even making a transfer profit now. Tell them to get fùcked.

Seems exactly what we need, creative and scores. I'd rather not have the buyback clause but if it's a case of no buyback clause, no Iheanacho then we'll have to put up with it.

A buy back clause is fine by me and if he turns out to be great, us only getting an extra £10 million is fine..... But, this is a 2-way street: As long as if he turns out to be sh*t we get £10m refund, no problem!
