But surely given his 20, given the goals his scored and the manner in which he scored them, his worth keeping?
Your 100% right when you say why not loan him out. Someone like Leicester or even West Ham would have paid a fee just to loan him i'm sure. Then make the decision at a later date. Best case for City if they ever do want him back is that it will cost them £25 million.
I dont see them as heavily stack up front anyway. Considering the amount of games they have. Aguero and Jesus are their go to guy ahead of the millions of midfielders they've got. Then there's Wilf Bony. Surely that flops got to go. It only takes Aguero to get injured (which has happened before) or Jesus to get a knocked (which has happened before) and Iheanacho would be in.
