Sancho to Spurs today. Bit gutted given his potential, but c'est la vie.
That's a shame.
It will be interesting to see how he goes. If the whole homesick, went home every week thing is true, it could go really well for him or really badly - particularly as he said himself that one of the reasons for him leaving there in the first place was bad influences.
On the pitch he's a long way from the finished product and i'll be surprised if Pochettino uses him before he's 18.
Very good player, went about leaving in a very bad way though, he may be 17 but just running away and not answering phone calls isn't the way to do things, which is a poor reflection on his advisers as well and makes you wonder what they'll tell him to do at 19/20/21 if he does well but Spurs aren't winning things and in the CL every year. Apparently we could get up to £4m for him which is a silver lining.
If he's a star, they'll get him a move, if he isn't they'll let him rot.
If I was Pinocchio, I'd have him on the bench as soon as he's match fit. He's pretty certain to star in their reserve team when fit, so it will be merited. One good ten minute spell at Wembley, & it will create a buzz round the ground. If he makes no big impact, you lose little, as 'he's only a kid' so it's expected, but he gets a boost from it.
That's the win win situation City have forgotten about, over the years. It's like a free hit, but we can't see it.
But his attitude seemed a bit wank
Smart kid, come to City and get the best schooling around for a few years and then move back home.
Hopefully others don't follow his lead.
On the plus side,we get our very own 'sterling' to boo.That's the worry. If we earn a rep as *just* a finishing school we'll miss out on hordes of talent.
Nice to see him go going back to London after talking about how Manchester was great because it got him out of the "hood."
He left because he thought his path to the first team was blocked right? I don't see him having an easier path at Spurs, they have some quality attackers on the bench. Does he expect to play PL matches this season? He will play cups games there just like he would at City.
Fuck!! I thought he was wearing a surgical DVT sock!!! That's shite ;DNot a fan of blacked out tattoos I must say
