Paroman: Kelechi is undisbutably the best midfielder in Africa and would easily walk into the 1st team of any top team in europe. Yaya Toure and David Silva will be sh!tting in their pants if this Kelechi transfer to Mancity finally pulls through.
Are u kidding me?

yaya,negredo and aguero are not his obstacles.
Iheanacho is an inverted winger cum central attacking midfielder.
His main contenders are silva,nasri and navas.
I think mancity could be a good move for him.
City are full of strikers but surprisingly few good attacking midfielders,which is probably why pellegrini is interested.
He should be able to break through if he works hard.

fijiano202: Chai see how this young Champ end his Career,well he will get to hear and learn from Sinclair,Rodwell,Lescott,Guidetti,Micah Richards and co,He will sit in Reserves until he grows white hair.

I remember the same thing was said about Mikel when he chose Chelsea over Man Utd (I'm a United fan by the way). Nigerians (except Chelsea fans of course) felt at United he stood a better chance of first team football because United needed a creative player to replace Scholes. But the same Mikel has played in the Chelsea first team under different managers since then. In another 2-3 years who says Iheanacho can't grow to become a key player or a first team player at City. And even if he doesn't another big team may come for him. Was Paul Pogba not at United for many years without playing first team football before Juventus came for him? Even Thiago Alcantara was not a first team player at Barca, but Guardiola still went for him after he moved to Bayern.

Keep laughing o. Mind you it's over a million dollars and over a million euros. And that for a young Nigerian player bought from an academy, not the professional league.

I would have preferred he chose a team like Porto, where he can learn and potentially earn a spot on the team. If am I correct, the contract for Man City would have him playing in Cote D'voire at an academy. Oh well, I guess they went for the money! All I can say is I wish him the best.

grandstar: Congrats for him! Hope he'll use the money he earns throughout his career sensibly. Its shocking to learn that 70% of ex-footballers face financial problems after retirement (SMH)
You no go let the poor boy kick-start him career before you begin dey calculate how him go spend money.

he is just 17 years and no one expect him to bench the likes of yaya now or for him to play regular football now. Man city are investing in him to replace those big players when they retire or leave the club

While NLdrs prematurely anticipate this youngster at Etihad, this news is not confirmed. Here is what i gathered from the official website of Manchester city.

Elsewhere, the M.E.N are also reporting that City could yet capture the services of Nigerian starlet, Kelechi Iheanacho.
After it was reported on Friday that the youngster would be heading to Sporting Lisbon, it has been claimed now that City are back in the driving seat in the race to sign him.
Brennan writes: "The youngster, who was voted best player at the under-17 World Cup, which his country won in November, had also been lined up by Porto.
"But City made a decisive move for the player before Christmas, although reports in Spain that the player has already signed a deal are premature.
"Iheanacho is now in Barcelona, and City are believed to be wary because the deal has already been put in jeopardy by the demands of people around the youngster.

can you imagine. most people in Ghana have long forgotten about that match. It's been long forgotten. and it was just u-17, nothing to take seriously. we all know it is a different story at the senior level,huh? u-17 success is good but its nothing to gloat over

£250,000? £350k for the hungry dad? I think the kid is worth at least £5m. How many 'talentless' rétards (especially from England) have been signed for much more?

This deal would favour Man City more eventually, whether they choose to sell him later or not. Excellent bargain for Man City.

How does the location affect how his talents are honed in a world-class academy? Even the Asec academy in Cote D'Ivoire that produced the Toures is not in a location as good as the RtD academy. I'm not talking about countries now but the towns.
People were just uncomfortable with the fact that he would have been in Ghana, but really being at RtD would have been very good. This is an academy that tours Europe and almost always gets into medal zones of world academy tourneys. Well, in football there are no definites.
