Which is exactly my point.
There's nothing wrong with chasing the money if that's what motivates you.
Good luck to the lad.
He left City because he wanted to play regularly at a high level. It wasn't going to happen at City, so he went where it would happen. As a result, he was called up to the full England squad and has gained caps.
As far as I'm concerned, that's all the right reasons and I'm sure that he will think he made the right move.
It's what he thinks that matters, and I dare say, he probably doesn't view his move to the rags as a 'bad one'.
It's a short career. He's made the right moves for himself.
I think this is a myth that needs to go away. Sancho left a year before Mahrez was signed.Agreed, we had just spent big on mahrez. Sancho was right to leave us as his route to the first team was blocked.
You mean the Mahrez who signed 12 months after Sancho left? This being the Sancho who was name checked by Khaldoon as being fast tracked to the first team not long after he turned 17, with the biggest contract we'd ever offered to a teenager sitting on the table?Agreed, we had just spent big on mahrez.

You (just) beat me to it :)I think this is a myth that needs to go away. Sancho left a year before Mahrez was signed.
The only winger we signed preceding Sancho's departure that summer was Bernardo.
Doh my bad. I thought he left the following transfer window.You mean the Mahrez who signed 12 months after Sancho left?

Weren't we in for mahrez though that year but wouldn't pay the fee, went back in the next year and signed him?I think this is a myth that needs to go away. Sancho left a year before Mahrez was signed.

Because he may soon have to make the same decision that faced Jadon Sancho...Why are we endlessly discussing Sancho in a thread about one of our club's important young players?
Because he may soon have to make the same decision that faced Jadon Sancho...
Does he want to wait his turn?
Would he see a loan as a good option?
Would a permanent move be the way to go?
Waiting worked out for Phil Foden, and looks quite positive for Cole Palmer. However, it's a risk for any ambitious youngster.
Loans tend not to be a successful route for progress at City. They invariably lead to a move, usually to a lower level
A permanent move to a top club with almost guaranteed regular games would be very tempting for any young player. If a club like Dortmund come calling, players have to be interested.
It's possibly the most important decision of any young players career. Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho are benchmarks. That's why Sancho is in the McAtee discussion.
And?Funny players at the scum and the scousers there players make that decision when they are 22+ years old
And?
Thanks for clarifying!The lad has plenty of time he is around the team learning of the best! Why move at that age! Like I said other clubs players stay around longer at a club to wait to get first team football! It’s not like he ain’t being entertained at all!
There is my “And”
Funny players at the scum and the scousers there players make that decision when they are 22+ years old
Young players like Jesse Lingard, so full of potential are still waiting to make this decision.Funny players at the scum and the scousers there players make that decision when they are 22+ years old
And he left in June 2021, 11 months later.No he didn’t. He made it clear in July of the year 2020 - just before the window opened.
That was also 10 months after us signing Ake and Dias which was the whole point of this discussion. It was García refusing the contract in relation to our transfer plans regarding his future.And he left in June 2021, 11 months later.
