Jadon Sancho goes to Dortmund ;)

If he was left out for not signing a contract, which is apparently £30,000 a week, then maybe he just doesn't see a future at City. Makes sense.
So he's one of the most gifted young players in the country. Worked exceptionally hard to get there. But suddenly he's not got the right attitude?
If one of our players was dead set on leaving for a major rival, I wouldn't expect them to be 100% professional. Nor would I expect the club to give them an easy ride out of the club. They'll be guided by their agent on how to get the move they want.
Nice that people can sit on their high horses going off rumours as to how any player is performing. Let's not forget we've many a player who's refused to play for the club, some of them are classed as legends.
You see unprofessionalism, I see rumours and possibly a determination to move to a major rival. whos right, we'll find out in time.
I don't think you quite read that right
I did our kid, I meant it's perfectly fine him acting up for them lot.
This is like their Pogba moment. I remember some City fans thinking he was going to to join them
I can't see him coming here but regardless it doesn't look good on city's part that their most talented young player wants out. Something can't be right.

So you are against the signing of matic given that he practically did the same. So did Rojo, the kid is 17. He is allowed to be a bit down for missing an important tour just because he did not sign a contract.
I say leaving 30,000 per week for the sake of his career shows maturity.
Amazing the narrative hoops people will jump through to try and defend a player just because they want to sign him

except he isn't the most talented youngster, Brahim and Fodden have been classed as bigger talents for some time. I reckon he'll probably stay but even if he leaves I hope his new club knock out the entitled attitude that he's displaying so he can reach his full potential.
They're not as talented though. Anyway that narrative from City fans was expected.
oh come on, Brahim is far more talented
It's pointless arguing these things when they're so young. Quaresma was the biggest talent in the SCP academy when Ronaldo was also there.
fair enough
Exactly. Im fairly sure my reaction at 17 wouldn't exactly be the most mature if all I wanted to do was play. (ffs Im 32 and had an issue at work last week or the week before and pretty much downed tools in utter frustration so can get why he is annoyed).
But yeah can see the other side of the argument as well, that going awol isn't exactly an endearing trait.
You've often got to wonder who and how these kids are being advised, if I was his agent I'd be driving him there myself if he missed a training session for being in a sulk
Probably a case of the agent putting his/her interests before that of the player.
I don't excuse what Matic and Rojo did but they're our players now.
Hopefully we'll be in the mix for his signature.
WHY?!?!?
This is a 16 year old NOBODY who is throwing a fecking strop and refusing to do his job!!!
I would stay well bloody clear.
Because he's a extremely talented player that has the potential to reach the very top.
He should come to Chelsea. Everyone knows we give youth a chance.
This.
Mate judging from how he has behaved so far, he wouldn't want to be on loan for the next ten years in his career
Don't think Vitesse will be able to handle another player on loan.
Think his reply was a bit tongue in cheek!
Quick, someone introduce him to Mino Raiola.
Would love it if we sign him.
Goes and him together would be awesome.
Goes and him together would be awesome.
And what happens in a year when he's not given a 100k a week contract and throws another one?
This isn't a top level player going on strike because he can't move to his dream club (which would be bad enough) this is a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD BOY refusing to do his job.
Pathetic attitude and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near him.
It's a risk worth taking
Afaik he wants to stay in London
He's SEVENTEEN
There was a MEN article stating we were trying hard to convince to join us, so I'm still hopeful.
He's 17 and rejecting an huge contract from City in order to play first team football. That's pretty admirable.
What makes you so sure it's about money?
If he wants first team football at 17 he needs to be willing to go out on loan.
