If Diaz leaves then in no way will his situation be similar to Sancho. Dortmund can give ample playing time to talented young starlets.
It's how they run their club. And then sell the ones like Pulisic that don't work out. How is Diaz going out on loan when he gets to
Real Madrid going to be any different than what would happen if he stayed here?

I've just said this in the Brahim thread, but might as well repeat it.

9 of Madrids 25 man squad this season have been sent out for experience and brought back. 7 loans, 2 sold with buybacks that were used.

So they obviously have infinitely more credibility when they say to Brahim "we'll loan you and bring you back", compared to when City say it when no young loanee has ever come back in the entirety of Brahim's 5 years at the club - except maybe Zinchenko. He's even seen his friends Maffeo and Angelino do amazingly on loan and still have no chance of getting in the first team. Kids aren't going to ignore that.

City are saying "Be the first kid ever to go on loan and come back to our first team!"

Madrid are saying "Be just like Asensio, Casemiro, Carvajal, Mariano, Vallejo etc."

why are we worrying so much about a guy who wouldn't even make our bench? he is not some once in a generation talent like neymar or KDB or sterling or sane. I won't worry too much about loosing him. If the guy is not willing to rightfully play second fiddle to superior talents in the squad he is not worth crying about.

You can feel the press urging him to do well. not because they really genuinely want him to do well but to use him as a point of reference to how we are ruining the game again. As you rightly say he probably wouldn't get near a regular first team regular shirt and we were right to not carry on with his services.

 

[CityStu]

So your source is the Daily Mail.

Yes. Can you provide an alternative source saying something different?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Instead of playing the blame game why don't you wait and see how the players careers develop.

Because that wouldn't provide him with an opportunity to troll.

Not sure URGING is right, you can feel the media buying success for him, In the England game the best player was Delph followed by LIngard and Sterling, I can understand anybody changing that order even including Rashford, so you can understand my surprise when the BBC gave Pickford a 7 when he did not make a save but even worse Sancho a 7 when he did not touch the ball 7 times, only 1 City player matched Sancho`s score and this was typical of the media
,Is Sancho going to be the new Rashford no , he is going to be the new Neymar just as Rooney was the new Ronaldo , who cares about reality certainly not the media

 

[cookster]

Yes. Can you provide an alternative source saying something different?

No but I'm not passing it off as fact that Dortmund offered Sancho less money. That was you with the DM as your source.

DM are quoting Sterling in on 300k a week, I don't take that as fact either.

Jason Sancho never was our academy product in the first place. We're in an era where clubs now start hoovering up other clubs' best academy prospects at 14, 15, 16. Not sure there's much more pride to be had out of integrating a player like that into your team than there is buying one at 18 or 19 to be honest. When you're picking players up in that way, you can lose them just as easily as they will never command the same level of loyalty or love for the club as someone like Foden.

He'd be getting minutes this season if he'd stayed with us. He's ambitious and impatient though and he wanted more than we could offer. He's made a good decision for himself but that doesn't mean us promising him a disproportionate number of minutes would have been a good solution for us either.

It's a shame he's slipped through our fingers but to me it's just a case of a player potentially having the right level of ability to make it here, but in the wrong position at the wrong time and with a set of requirements incompatible with that of the club.

At 18 years old at a club of our standing, getting all the league cup games, some fa cup games and occasional premier league minutes is a great starting point and it's the best we can do. It isn't going to change. Players can stick around or they can leave, it's up to them. Either way, we'll get over it.

I don't think he was ever in love with the club and im pretty sure Dortmund will also find out soon enough that they won't command much loyalty from him either.

Wouldn't even bring the likes of Barker or Roberts into the conversation. They are not ever going to reach a level that's good enough for where we're at.

It doesn't matter whether they are ever good enough for Stockport County.

They were two of the best kids in England, and they were two of the best kids in the England international team at their age group.

They deserved to get reasonable time on the pitch, for City & didn't get it

They would almost certainly have got it, at the swamp. If they then disappear, doesn't matter. They were seen to be given a decent chance when they deserved it.

If two of the best English kids can barely get 5 mins on the pitch when in top form, the ones coming through behind them will be concerned, as you would be in that position, that they also won't get any playing time.

It's obvious.
