We haven't had a player of this calibre in recent years, nor have we had a manager like the one we have. Let's see how it pans out.

I would like see him being ambitious and decline whatever salary we offer him and move to a club where he has a chance to play for the first team. He seemed like a smart kid in the interview he did for City TV, moving away from the "hood environment", next step is moving to a club where he has a chance to play first team football in the upcoming years. If he goes for the money at City, he will go on loans, where eventually he will drop form, and everybody here will forget about him and hype up the next kid coming through. People will make excuses like his attitude isn't good enough, he's a one trick pony. Better for him to move to a team where he will be allowed to make mistakes and develop. If I were him, I would move to RB Leipzig and try to break through in the upcoming years.

Agreed.

It's time for these promising England lads to look after their careers now.

I am seeing no career pathway at City and genuinely think the academy is there to supplement the clubs income.

I think the plan is to develop players and sell them on with relatively affordable buy-back clauses.

That's how Barca work, just look at Pique, Deulofeu, Fabregas, Alba.

Wow come one now, you guys are absolutely delusional about the academy and players prospects. He is only 17 years old and your already moaning he hasn't played for City and that we will definitely ruin his career.

Take a look at your responses and realize your both extremely negative, if you hate our academy this much then stop commenting on academy related posts.

And if you think he has no pathway at City, Sancho, Foden and Diaz were all SPECIFICALLY pointed out by Pep and Khaldoon as players that will make it at City. If anything, other academy players will have a much harder time breaking through. Our partnerships with NAC and Girona will only help these players, or maybe they are kept in the club, either way, these 3 in particular will be heavily focused on making it at the club.

Just because no other team out of the top 5/6 is doing doesn't mean we shouldn't either. I agree only the best of the best should be fast tracked into the first team. Plus there's not many players who have left and gone on to great things. However make no mistake we haven't had a crop of youngsters like the current ones and if we lose the likes of Diaz foden and certainly Sancho then we will be the fools not them.

One example of our mis management is denayer. Never in a million years should he have been overlooked for a 36 year old Demi.

Agree with The Denayer situation think he was 19/20 at the time but it was Pelegrini's call and Demichellis had been with him at other clubs so thats why that happened.

I find it hard to believe genuine City fans, just one year into Guardiola's tenure, are willing their prize youth assets to join other clubs.

Head-scratchingly bonkers.

I missed it, who wants Sancho to join another club?

I think there are a few people on here (like myself) who are saying that they hope to god he signs a new deal and sticks around, but who also begrudgingly admit that if they were in his shoes -- and had the choice between academy football for a club that keeps buy world class players, or a Bundesliga club that wants to fast track them in their first team -- that they might take take their chances in Germany. There was also a separate wish that more young English players, like Loftus-Cheek, made that decision. Given the last couple seasons for Loftus-Cheek it's hard to fault that argument -- feels like the English team would be in far better shape if 18 y/o's were playing first team football in foreign leagues for clubs that relied on them.

Hopefully he'll get a place in the first team squad and it will all fall into place. If he doesn't make it, I am not sure who will.

It's homesickness which isn't necessarily even football related which makes it more worrying
 
Who can blame him?

We've spent circa £200m on young attacking talent in the past 2 years (including KDB) and Pep still wants to add to it with Sanchez; previously projected wonderkids like Iheanacho and Roberts have failed to crack it or be enchanted by the (dubious) developmental skills of Guardiola, so why should Sancho trust that he will be different?

The reality is our academy will now see a lot of kids (or at least the bright ones) come for the elite education (both academic and footballing) then back door it to a club with a proven track record of meritocracy and pride in youth integration.

Spurs have found a way to put faith in young British talent and finish above us with a fraction of the annual investment/wage outlay; the monotonous argument that we're too big-time to do it is one for morons. Everton tearing us apart last year with a team accommodating Holgate, Tom Davies, and Lookman should have been a lesson us.

If I was Sancho and either of those clubs tried to entice me, I'd be gone; after all, this is a club that for the past few years has deemed Jesus Navas, a winger with a worse goals/assists output annually than most rightbacks, as a better bet on the wing than mercurial young talents like Barker and Roberts, or even Buckley and Nemane (they literally couldn't have done worse)

Pablo Maffeo got Man Of The Match against United in the Derby, never to be seen again; Pep opted to play Navas and Fernandinho out of position in the absence of the two geriatric orthodox rightbacks in the squad rather than give the kid the further opportunities that performance should have earned him.

If the owners are serious about the CFA being anything more than a Chelsea-esque vanity project, they need to seriously evaluate whether those currently running football matters at the club are the right men to utilise, validate and vindicate it.
 
It's happening to all the big clubs now. Top talent is being tapped up and poached earlier and earlier with more and more sophisticated techniques and missions used to attract and distract, and there is no reason to think we should be immune to it just because we have a world class set up.

Sanchez has no relevance to Sancho, he'll be gone by the time Sancho is 19/20.

As for Spurs, the average age of the youth players Pochettino has given a chance is about 22 and after a few loans, so he's not going to be fast tracked there.
 
If true he is home sick really you cant blame the lad to want to be near his family. Hope he signs a new contract then maybe loan him to a london team till he matures a bit and being away from his family he be fine.
