Jadon Sancho

Sancho starting today according to BBC radio 5.


I imagine he'll be very good and this situation will get 10x as annoying.

Still, love and learn...
 
Sancho puts me in mind of Sturridge. An emerging great talent at City but the hype got to him and he started trying to dictate to the club and put in a ridiculous pay demand for a teenager. His move to Chelsea didn't really work out nor his time at Liverpool. I wonder, in hindsight, if he would have achieved even more had he been better advised and not quite so arrogant.

Hughesless was putting him further down the pecking order with every week that went by, he was offered a contract and said not only did he want more money but also that he wanted to play football and Chelsea offered him both, at first. Chelsea then too started putting him further down the pecking order and he went out on loan as he wanted to play football. He's been at Liverpool but gone out on loan from there too as he wanted to play football. He's even said in the past that he never really wanted to leave City but he wanted to play football.
 
It's all a bit odd this hype over him. Foden has shown he has the ability to retain the ball, make a pass and finish. England are crying out for a creative midfielder who can do these things but he's wasting his time at the under 21's.

He isn’t rushing him in the same way Pep isn’t. Southgate I mean. It’s the best way to handle him.

Fair comment, I do wonder how Southgate intends on using him too, he doesn't use wingers so where does he fit? He's already shoe horning Sterling into a role that doesn't suit him, will he do the same with Sancho?

With the quality of the young wingers he has at his disposal, Southgate absolutely has to change system. Not just Sterling and Sancho, but Hudson Odoi at Chelsea too.
 
Begs the question, why rush Sancho?
Maybe he rates Foden higher and can see he will need nurturing into a more important and constant role than Sancho? Maybe picking Sancho he is sending the message he will pick players on form.
Foden is going to be treated exactly how he needs to be by both club and country.
 
Begs the question, why rush Sancho?
Possibly because he has more minutes (albeit still very few) and certainly more assists. That puts him marginally ahead at this very moment in time.

Foden’s time will come and it won’t be long off. Like several other posters, I’m happy not to over-expose him at this stage with a full England call-up.
 
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bemoaning the fact Foden wasn't called up, it makes sense to me to do it gradual.

I just don't get why the same logic doesn't apply with Sancho, particularly in a set up that doesn't use wingers.
