Please - this is only your opinion based on what you have read on social media - the club have not commented & neither has Sancho. What's the difference between waiting for 2/3 seasons at another club? Either way he won't play for a top first team. Much better to be loaned out meanwhile & prove that you've got the guts & character - as well as the skill - to succeed.
Some would argue Friday's contribution might equal what he did in two legs last time we faced Chelsea.There's absolutely no way Sancho will play. He's not even trained for ages now.
Totally unnecessary to say I don't care. You must be feeling a bit on edge. I'd wager I've been "caring" about City for a lot longer than you could imagine. Which of my comments suggest I don't care simply because I don't agree with you.
But City have shown that if you prove that on loan (as Denayer and Roberts have), it's far from a guarantee that you'll be given even a chance in our first team.
It's not difficult to follow. City haven't brought through any young players in nearly a decade, so why would young players want to be at City when they become ready (or nearly ready) for first team football?
With the greatest respect, proving you can play in the SPL, in the one team, in a one team league, is not proving you are worthy of playing at City.But City have shown that if you prove that on loan (as Denayer and Roberts have), it's far from a guarantee that you'll be given even a chance in our first team.
I replied to your throwaway comment about young players who may or may not have made it somewhere else. Not 'whether you care about 'City'. I never mentioned City.
You seem happy enough that there is no problem with those players not getting first team chances & that they wouldn't have made it elsewhere either, so therefore you don't care, that they have gone without successfully reaching the top.
I think some might have made with better chances at the right time & I do care.

Pep will have watched/had them watched, for the whole periods they have been on loan, and presumably in training also, and concluded that they don't suit his plans.
You certainly care about your opinions. Let's agree to disagree & we'll see what transpires. If it was me at 16/17, I'd give it another year - you'd clearly leave.
Of course there is the odd exception, but I'm not getting into an argument with you, as its pointless. You never accept any other position than yours is the right one, but if you are seriously arguing that Pep, with all his well known studying of the game, hasn't watched/had watched enough of Denayer and Roberts, and concluded that they aren't ready/likely to be ready soon, for the PL/CL, then that's just being contrary for the sake of it.Or he has had enough journeymen in the squad he needed to get rid of, that he has no time to bother searching for loan players & is putting all his efforts into the younger ones currently at the club.
Virgil Van Dijke was brought to the Prem on the strength of his SPL performances & appears to be better than almost everyone else in that position.
Luis Suarez came from Holland. There have been good & shit players in both leagues.

I hope he is putting all his efforts into the younger ones at the club, and that it will come to fruition, but the question was raised about these 2 and my comments are orely about those 2.
As for Sancho, and this is a thread dedicated to him, he's being badly advised imho, and the last thing a 16/17 year old should be doing is going on strike, even those clubs who are interested should take note, its one thing a pro at 25 doing it, but at 16/17 its just stupidity, either on his part, or on that of his advisors, imho.
