He was just 16 when he decided he was leaving (17 when he actually left), tell me which club (let alone a top one) gives any game time to a 16 year old?
It's alright, take your time...
BTW we paid £60 million for Mahrez, not £70 million and it was a year after Sancho left so for you and the other idiots who don't understand simple timelines, the two aren't connected excepting the fact that Sancho may (only may) have played in his stead if only he'd been more patient. Were we enquiring about him previously? Undoubtedly, we would be looking at multiple players at all times. If a young player can't see past that then good luck to them elsewhere.
The fact that he's done so well since leaving is actually immaterial.
Look people are allowed to have an opinion on the subject, if you don't agree that is also fine but don't come on being the **** from the off and now throwing out idiots, which is kind of ironic really.
So run along and learn to read the posts you actually quoted.
Here it is for you "we signed Mahrez for 70m
a season later," so it looks likely that I knew he signed a season after Sancho left or I wouldn't have fucking typed it now would I?
So you just made a wanker of yourself with your little timeline dig, tut, tut idiots indeed eh.
Everton - Rooney 16
Liverpool - Owen 17
Man Utd - Giggs 16
Is that enough for you?
The fact that he has done so well inside of two years is the thing that actually makes it not immaterial ffs.
I very much doubt Sancho expected himself to be in City's first team at 16 or 17 for that matter, it was more the fact he saw absolutely no chance it was going to happen, it still isn't happening for Foden and he should be on the bench at the minimum every week and ready to come on if we hammering somebody and playing against lesser teams.
The other factor is the more younger players see the likes of Sancho leave City and "make it" so quickly from youth player to top teams first team to International it will become harder to get them to show patience, again Foden as a City fan will be different as he will only want to play for us and not look to rock the boat.
Don't bother with a reply, I have no time to be arguing the toss with a person like yourself for the rest of the day.
