It's clear you don't rate him but the kid has ability and just because he isn't performing here doesn't mean he won't perform in the top flight. We hear this more than once ... we seem to be a graveyard for some players ... whatever the problem in our recruitment is we really need to sort it out. And laying it all on Rudkin ain’t the answer ... imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously does some ability, but we've seen none of it yet and if he doesn't want to make the effort we are unlikely to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding players that fit a set system of play is important. But at the same time for Leicester i think Iheanacho was bought for the purpose to start transitioning the type of play for the team, the same with Slimani and Silva. Musa on the other hand was intended to be a like for like replacement for Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentina without Messi is about the same level as a top 6 side in Europe. 1 minute ago, MattP said: Didn't Musa score two against Argentina in a World Cup match?

Like I said, just because he hasn't worked out for Leicester doesn't mean he is a terrible player. He is 21 for crying out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iheanacho has only played 3 seasons of senior football. Musa has played multiple seasons at a lower level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even terrible players will have the odd good game. I hope we get the best out of Iheanacho but at the minute we have a footballer who should be young and hungry and instead looks lazy and disinterested. That's a huge concern given our total outlay on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I think we are looking to transition but at the same time we cling to the past ... considering our position we are doing quite well but if we don’t sort things out this won’t last. The signs are there and we have been lucky not to have had a few hidings. I think we fell on our feet with Claude.. an inspired choice and hopefully, given time, the answer to this conundrum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Guy In The Room Posted 8 January 2018 Share Posted 8 January 2018 I dont watch Man City all that closely so cant say whether he was any good there or not. From the limited game time he’s had here, I cant see anything that makes me think he’s decent. I’m sure there’s ability in there somewhere otherwise he wouldnt have got near Man City’s first team, but we aint seeing it now thats for sure.

Nigel Graham Pearson Posted 8 January 2018 Share Posted 8 January 2018 Perhaps I’m mad but I really think I’d let the moose loose over playing Iheanacho at the moment. At least he’s got some energy, and has had a couple of decent moments for us (among all the not-so good moments). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could do well when someone's holding up/knocking down the ball for him. Doesn't seem to work well with Vardy or on his own, but that doesn't make him a bad player. Imagine the movement of that pairing. Id like to see a pairing of Barry Hayles and Mark De Vries more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
