Now, that for me is reason enough to pick him every week. I like my strikers to score goals, not defend or track back. But the modern game and Pep have different morals. A striker these days needs more strings to his bow. That's not to say Iheanacho won't acquire them or improve them, it's just he doesn't have the strings to his bow that Kun has.
If Nacho were to have the potential to become the modern day equivalent of, say, a Gerd Muller or suchlike, no City fan would ever complain about any putative shortcomings outside the box.
If Nacho does actually possess such potential, it would be a great shame if, in trying to improve his all round game, Pep were to coach his "fox in the box" skills out of him.
I'd much rather see us set up to play to his strengths and accept the rest, rather than see him go to any other side.
