I'd like to thank ETH for the support he showed and my family for being there for me.
Mountains are there to be climbed.
Sancho needs our support

Where is that dude ?
Haha it wasn't my suggestion to play him there mate. It was our manager that's talked up his ability to play the position. Plus he's been sent away to work on his fitness. Possibly bulking up to help out up top? Who knows?
Apologises then! You see all kinds of random takes on here sometimes and it’s hard to distinguish what is someone’s fever dream and what’s actually been said.I saw the most mental excuse for Martial the other day and it was that he’s shit because we play two DM’s and if we didn’t he’d score bagfuls…
Agreed 100%.
The culture of mollycuddling players at this club has led us down a path of no trophies for several years (past and future).
I know many people feel sorry for Sancho (or their favourite player), but if it was me I was eject players who are not cut out for playing to win trophies.
Players like Jones should have been told to leave several years ago and IF Sancho fails to deliver quickly, he too, should be shown the door. We have too many passengers in the team and fans seem to love them.
Any chance he could be available for Charlton on Tuesday? Ideal opponent to ease him back into the fold against and gain some minutes but more so confidence in himself.
He could literally turn out like a new signing if ETH has the same sort of impact he has had on Rashford.

Don't think he is even training with the team at the moment. Won't see him on the pitch for several more weeks.
Molly's cuddles are the best
Fair do’s.
I think ETH said he has started to but you’re right, I doubt we’ll be seeing him anytime soon.
I’m sure there was a video of him in England, possibly at training? Might not be with the team though
At Carrington now but still training individually. No indication when he will train with the team but assume another week or two at least. Reading in the FA Cup might be a potential return but just a guess.
We desperately need him back for the run in.
Not enough bodies upfront.

Yes, I agree with that. He may well have some issues outside football at the moment, but surely there are some issues inside football as well. The football director at Dortmund said there were no limits for what Sancho could achieve - as soon as he learned to live as a top athlete... After the corona break, he came back overweight and totally out of form, and the same has been his habit after the summer breaks (for a change, he was good this preseason, though). Sancho needs to pull himself together, or we might well find ourselves regretting we signed him at all.
The optimist in me tells me he's been trained by Pai Mei in the Netherlands & is going to unleash the five point palm exploding heart technique on Guardiola
Don’t think we’ll see him again until that 3 match spell of Forrest, Reading, Forrest.
I have almost forgot about him. It seems so long since he last played and with Garnacho breaking onto the team he havent really missed him.
He might be better off taking the season off to build up his intensity and pace.
We have Marcus, Garnacho, Antony Facundro and Elanga for the wing spots anyway so we are not short on those positions.
Sancho could really focus on the athletic side of fitness and do some serious sprint training and really strengthen up as he has one of if not the best techniques at the club so he could be a monster in 23/24.

It's the perfect set of games for him to come back into the team, if he comes back fresh and and in form it could transform our season. We can't rely on Garnacho
Must be your first time at TheCaf. People aren't here to support the players or the team. They are here to pissss all over everyone and anyone that they can. This place is toxic...
I just hope he doesnt come back looking like Adama.
The best way to develop as a player is by playing actual games.
It's a long season, we are still in 4 competitions and we are 2 injuries away from starting a much weaker attack. We need Sancho back asap.
What he lacks is speed and intensity hence my post and if he had both he would have a big impact in the Premier League.
Take the season off?
No player would willingly take a season off. At any level. It would destroy him.
He would, but he needs games in order to build that, training is always less intense than actual games.
My thoughts exactly.He is not going to lose his skill set which is up there with the best I have seen but if he was a couple of yards quicker and added power and stamina to his game then we would have a real player on our hands.
I don't want to carry on watching him scared of really going at his marker and being gassed on the hour mark because he will struggle to make the starting 11 if that is the case.
Did you read all of my original post?
Falling very far behind in pecking order.
The longer he takes, the further he falls behind.
Will be interesting to see his hunger and drive to get back in as a starter.
Without it, he's done here.

I used to think the NHL forums were bad, but Redcafe has shown me that there are always more miserable cnuts out there with too much free time on their hands
There is really no need to do this.
I trust Ten Hag to integrate him back. He could well be like a new signing and prove very important to the run in.
No need to rush him back in. mind you last season Rashford looked even more lost than Sancho looks now and look how he transformed this season. being in the right state mentally is absolutely crucial and I trust ETH to help him get there the same way he did with Rashford. Sancho 100% has the ability to succeed here.
There is being fit and there is being match fit.
You gain fitness and confidence on the pitch, not off it. Keeping him out for a season would destroy him.
Starting to think this was more a punishment than anything else.
Sends a clear message to the rest of the squad what happens if you can't stay fit in this team. Do Martial next please.

Why? There's been no indication from ETH, the club or anything in the media that it's a punishment.
I stated that I think he could be better served doing training like track athletes do such as sprinting and endurance training which is intense, probably more so than football training.
These two things are glaring faults in his game which have not been addressed before and are holding him back from fulfilling his potential in England.
If Erik is addressing this in the program he set for him then all well and good.
Cnuts? Yes. Miserable? Nah
Imagine that...
That's not a good look period!
That would actually be incredible. As long as he keeps his guile and composure.
It would also require him to ingest a large volume of exogenous hormones/anabolics.
