Jadon Sancho

[squirtyflower]

Don't think Sancho has been well advised , most likely his agent is earning a very tidy bundle whilst the lad has missed out on a World Cup winners medal and left a top six european club that is managed by someone who is possibly the best coach for improving young players looking at Pep's track record at Barca and the progress Stones, Sterling and Sane are making. At least Sancho has got a few bob in his pocket , and will probably get a few games in the Bundesliga coming off the bench , but what football agent has ever put a kids career before earning a nice wedge , leeches every last one of them

Sorry mate, you've got it all wrong
City are the leeches and should shut the Acadmey

It's far too early for people to say if him leaving was a mistake or not. Fact is he wasn't gonna get game time in our team anytime soon and he is getting game time there. Now if he makes 10-15 appearances this season and then next season becomes a regular then clearly it was the right move and if he ends up barely playing then it wasn't. A lot of the posts on here just come across as sour grapes cos one of our promising talents dared to leave us.

What the club absolutely does need to use this as is a wake up call to actually show the academy talent that there is a path to the first team. Forget all this "Well you might get a cup game here or there" bollocks, they need to be shown that we are willing to give them a real opportunity. Maffeo played out of his skin against the rags in the cup last season and we shipped him off on loan and bought Danilo. Now he's showing against Real and Barca that he was already good enough to play for us this season

We had to fight tooth and nail to get Tosin to sign a new contract cos he wanted more game time and so far he's only had a cup game with bloody Mangala being preferred over him. Foden is quite likely the most promising player we've produced in a long long time and it will be interesting to see if he's given a proper opportunity or if it will just be a couple of cup games and back to the EDS.

Either we start putting our trust in them or there will be plenty more Sancho's.

Yep all City's fault, couldn't agree more

So

Where would you play Foden

And who would you drop?

Is he really that good yet?

Drop Yaya from the bench since he is well past it and seems unable to even jog anymore, stick Foden on the bench. Bring him on for Silva/Bernardo/Kev if we're winning games so he can get some experience.

He'll end up being another Sturridge.

The sad thing is, his agent would buzz at that as he'd still get a wedge.

Do we have a buy back clause? Conflicting reports a couple of weeks back.

A lot of venom on this thread, best of luck to the lad, Dortmund are a great club for young players and he has the potential to be a star.

Nobody on here was giving him grief when he left Watford to sign for City.

But back clause only any use if player wants to sign don't know how acrimonious the parting was.

There are no clauses.
