honestly if i were him i would do the same knowing our track record with youth and the fact that he has 2 wingers in their early 20s ahead of him, breaking through looks near impossible. dont think he wants to get loaned out to girona and nac breda and never return.

Anyone with supreme self-confidence & belief in their own ability to make it to the top shouldn't worry about who is in front of them. They should back themselves to prove that they are better than the players in front of them. Playing at the top level you are always going to have to face stiff competition.

Yeah I don't agree with that comment either. He's leaving because we have 2 young wingers in front of him, the point is he has to compete with them and show his worth, he isn't Neymar, Ronaldo or Messi who are undisputed starters, wherever he goes he must compete for his spot.

This times 100.

I really Aleix Garcia because of this he was on the verge of breaking into the Villareal team but he came to City because of the challenge to break into the City team.
 
I'd refuse to release him (not sure if that is possible with him not having signed a professional contract) and make him train on his own. He can miss out a year on his development and the club who tapped him up will have to wait at least a year or even miss out to another club.
 
He's a young, naive, 17 year old, alright he should have been professional enough to keep training but given he's young I think we can give him a bit more leeway than an experienced player.

I'm sure we as a club have enough class to say let a player go and play elsewhere if he's not happy here (obviously with a decent amount of compensation).

That goes for any player really, no point keeping players at your club if they're not happy.

I'd rather have a less talented player who is 100% committed to the club than a talented player who couldn't give a shit.
 
Who the fuck cares right?

He is a sensational player no doubt. He's part of the elite trio with Foden and Diaz.

But if he doesn't want to be here, fuck him. I'm sure he'll be a phenomenon, but if it's not for us, who cares. Let's be excited for who we have. Foden and especially Brahim. Rather than begrudge him for his opinion, let's be excited for what we have. How many other clubs could let be player like Sancho go and say, 'oh well'?
Be privileged. We have some of the best youth talent in the UK to such the extent that losing arguably one of the best of them is non-consequential. I'd love for him to stay, but if he wants to go, oh well. Right?
 
Haha, who does he think he is? I'll be watching the direction of his career with interest over the next couple of years. Football is a game which has a tendency to bite you on the arse.
 
I have no problems with him wanting to do what he believes is best for his career. I would do the same.
But by going to Spurs / Arsenal it is not guaranteed that he is going to develop his career more than at City? He's not good enough at the moment, won't play there immediately and will have to wait his turn. Obviously there are less obstacles in his position at those clubs than at City and he would have statistically a greater chance of playing first team footballer sooner than at City. But he would still have to wait 2-3 years before he is regularly in contention. If it's truly about playing first XI, then move to Southampton or Everton. But he won't and that says to me money is more of a factor in his decision.
 
It'll be a shame for the club if he leaves. But given how much the academy supposedly invests in developing the players into well-known rounded, professional young men, and knowing how much of elite performances is about mentality, this episode will surely have put big question marks over his suitability for what the club is trying to achieve.

Its the perfect example of what ive said all along about the academy when people are demanding we give the players a chance from it.

We will give them every tool in the box to make it to the first team....every single one except for the one between their own ears.
 
Let him go, shame he won't stay but no point in vilifying the lad.

Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I always wonder why people get so wound up about players going to different clubs, like when Chelsea released Lampard but we're furious he played for us. As long as he doesn't go to THEM I couldn't give a shit where he goes and would rather focus on the ones who want to play for us

I think having belief in yourself is a huge bonus tbh.

If more of our academy kids hasd the same attitude, more would have made it imo.

His problem, is his decision making on the pitch. If his football brain develops correctly, he'll make it. If not, he won't.

If being an arsehole prevented players from succeeding, Utd would be in the Conference by now & Ronaldo would be selling his arse.
 
Such a bizarre decision to go on strike when he can effectively sign a contract with whichever team he likes anyway. Perhaps he expects City to release him on a free so his new club don't have to pay any compensation?

I don't understand this. If he's not signed a professional contract then he's a free agent anyway isn't he?
 
You'd think regardless of where he ends up it's very much in his interests to get sorted and back playing asap.
