Sancho withdraws from City training in bid to force move

[Bilko]

That city are so angry and determined indicates we are not talking about an average talent here.
Hope we're in

Our wonderful game is degenerating to a pathetic level. Neymar being sold for close to £200 million, Sancho being offered 30 grand a week at 17 and walking away from a contract he has signed as he wants to dictate his own terms to the club who pays his wages. Am I alone in getting utterly pissed off with these happenings?

TV is pumping so much money into the wonderful game with most of it going to the players and their agents. All this money flooding the game starts off in our pockets before ending up being immorally wasted on these guys.

It appears to me that FIFA & EUFA are as toothless and useless as the United Nations. They are all full of puffed up mealy mouthed,self important idiots enjoying a lovely lifestyle with out achieving anything sensible and doing nothing to help the fans who are keeping the game alive.

It is about time that true supporters were put in charge of the game to return it into a sport for everyone and not for the privileged few imho.

Apologies folks ~ rant over.

Your sentiments are spot-on, but it's a bit of a lazy caricature to assume that the money's just flowing into the pockets of players and agents. There's another whole level of other parasites getting rich out of the property, cars, jewelry, financial services etc. that are an inevitable consequence of all this cash.
It's all these wider vested interests have been so determined to protect the various sporting bodies from reform.

If he's trying to force a move at 17 then he's not a fit for us I'm afraid.

Really? Sounds like he's straight from the Berbatov, Modric, Carrick mould

Exactly my point.

So like Marcus Edwards then? Where we buy guaranteed talent like N'koudou and Sissoko to keep him out the team? Hmm. If the story is anywhere near true, I agree with above, we're not guaranteeing first team football to a 17 year old.

Dele is a complete outlier. Can people stop using him as an example. He's not representative of anything. He's a one off

Guaranteed talent, well N'koudou certain does not come under that category. And if Edwards is such a talent he should fairly easily be able to jump ahead of both those players regarding team/squad selection.
Besides, they were bought last season when Edwards was not ready for regular 1st team football, so Spurs had to buy some reinforcements.

If it's about money he's unlikely to want to leave City.

It could be because he is unhappy there and wants to be in London. He might think we're better at promoting youth and thinks he'd have more chances at playing for us and building a career.

Truth is we have such little information that we can't comment.

Personally I think it's in bad taste to tarnish someone with having a poor personality based on such little evidence.

He joined them from Watford and he seems to want to move to London. That suggests to me that he wants to be closer to home. If it was just about money he'd either stay at City, or consider United and Liverpool.

What I wouldn't give for spurs to sign a player with a name like Jadon. Like I mean what are the odds. It's such a unusual spelling

Right, I take it you wouldn't then, you can't have it both ways

I think you would find he can have it both ways.....he asked you to wash your fingers first

Yet he's yet to show his talent. How can you call that "guaranteed talent"
The jokes on if you seriously believe N'koudou was a "guaranteed talent".
I guess you saw Clinton Njie as "guaranteed talent" as well then.
