Mate, "mental health issues" is just a big umbrella term that simply translates to "not really coping very well with certain aspects of life at specific times in your life".I see the 'mental health issues' has been trotted out. Is that something he's said or is it just people in here?
Its hard to go down the route of mental health conditions with sancho because it is a running theme with him, and while i wouldnt want to dismiss anybodys mental health issues or what they are going through, sancho has the ability and the money where if he truly wanted to he could address his problems if he has them with the best help available, thats if he has them of course there is the other theory that he is just a big time charlie who thinks hes better than he is and has no work ethic etc, there has to be a cut off line where we stop trotting out mental health issues for people who are just a bit of a prickMate, "mental health issues" is just a big umbrella term that simply translates to "not really coping very well with certain aspects of life at specific times in your life".
EVERYBODY's has them at one point or another :)
"Mental health conditions" are something VERY different ;)
If it is a mental health condition then he's being poorly advised and managed (let down) by his club, his agent and his doctors.Sorry mate, I wasn't consciously attempting to put words in your mouth, I was only trying to add a little meat to the bones of your post in order to expand on what I assumed you'd said regarding teenagers being stroppy.
I absolutely agree with you about people on the outside being in no place to judge from their positions of little or no knowledge of the specific nature of his situation, and from experience I know that there are mental health issues and there are mental health conditions.
If it's an issue, then you'd have hoped that (given his position) he'd have access to the best mental health therapy that money can buy, and fortunately for him, he'll have a very real possibility of ridding himself of the demons that currently blight his life.
If it's a condition, and the things we are seeing are symptoms of his coping mechanisms for this condition, then, unfortunately, no amount of therapy or techniques/practices will help him. He'll have no alternative other than attempting to learn to live with the specific chemical imbalances that the condition throws his way as best he can, as many do.
Either way, if he is having difficulties with his mental health, I wish him all best as it's not an easy road to walk, believe me.
That's pretty much what I was trying to say, but I tend to use too many words :)If it is a mental health issue then he's being poorly advised and managed (let down) by his club, his agent and his doctors.
Agreed.Its hard to go down the route of mental health conditions with sancho because it is a running theme with him, and while i wouldnt want to dismiss anybodys mental health issues or what they are going through, sancho has the ability and the money where if he truly wanted to he could address his problems if he has them with the best help available, thats if he has them of course there is the other theory that he is just a big time charlie who thinks hes better than he is and has no work ethic etc, there has to be a cut off line where we stop trotting out mental health issues for people who are just a bit of a prick
That's pretty much my take on it. I think lack of discipline and a poor attitude are what has got him to the situation he's in right now. He's go the talent. He's just lacking the mental fortitude to apply it. He's probably just one of those kids that everyone knew at school. One of my nephews went to school with a former Rag's player, and he was one of those kids. Self-obsessed, selfish and full of entitlement with no thought for anyone but himself.Its hard to go down the route of mental health conditions with sancho because it is a running theme with him, and while i wouldnt want to dismiss anybodys mental health issues or what they are going through, sancho has the ability and the money where if he truly wanted to he could address his problems if he has them with the best help available, thats if he has them of course there is the other theory that he is just a big time charlie who thinks hes better than he is and has no work ethic etc, there has to be a cut off line where we stop trotting out mental health issues for people who are just a bit of a prick
tbf tho its sort of hard for them not to be like that, he has been surrounded since day one with people blowing smoke up his ass, too afraid to tell him he was wrong, too afraid to reign him in for fear of upsetting the golden goose and now he has gone to far where he truly has started to believe his own hype and that he isnt wrong and cant ever be wrong, its a too common tale in footballers.That's pretty much my take on it.

i said it when we let him go and my opinion has never changed, that his attitude would stop him from ever making it to the very top.Hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard.
