There's only so much you can learn warming the bench. And if Sanchez came here in the summer when we tried to get him then Sancho wouldn't have even been doing that.
Being a fan means very little, rarely any players play for the club they are a fan of. I'll believe it when I see Foden and Diaz actually play. We have been linked with Jorginho and Fred.
They can like Fernandinho play as a #8 and will probably unfortunately be prioritized in front of Foden in that role.I meant in terms of Foden being more patient than Sancho before he starts pushing for more games or a move away.
And aren’t Jorginho and Fred defensive midfielders, just like Fernandinho? They’re hardly going to be rivals to Foden and Diaz for a place in the team.
At some point you actually have to put the coaching that you have received into practice don't you?Surely young players learn by taking part in training and participating with a top class coach and world class players as opposed to " warming the bench " as you call it ?
What opportunities have they actually got? How many starts do they have in the premier league. How many assists/goals. How many are they going to get next season?Try telling Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz that.

Well one part of it is. The rest isn't. Considering Foden and Diaz didn't get any kind of opportunities this season. Playing for 2-20 minutes 5 times a season when games are wrapped up isn't real opportunities. Therefore I was questioning Vienna_70's point that Diaz and Foden are getting chances in relation to Sanchez leaving due to lack of potential chances that I thought he would get here.The answer to your question is something which will be revealed next season - until then it's pure speculation .
He's played more than that though hasn't he? Foden has played in 12 games this season, starting 3 of them and getting 90 minutes in 2 champions league games and a league cup game. For a 17 year old lad thats not a bad start to your city career. Diaz isn't far off that as well, so its misleading to just say he was sub in 5 league games therefore isnt getting opportunities.Well one part of it is. The rest isn't.

He started against Shakhtar in the last group game. What was the other Champions league game he played 90 minutes in?He's played more than that though hasn't he?
