He's from Watford. Will go to either Arsenal or Spurs if he wants a quick route into the first team as well as a return 'home' down south - most likely Spurs.

Yes please. Sancho and Gomes together. :drool:

I doubt it will happen as he would only be moving because he wants to start getting chances, and we've already got the likes of Rashford and Martial looking for opportunities alongside Lukaku (who is quite young himself). He's probably more likely to see the other top teams as more likely to give him chances in the not too distant future.
We have the best opening for a talented wide man of the top PL teams. You can obviously name physical players we have that can play there, after all, we do line up with XI - but the point is, we do not have ONE player who has nailed down a starting spot, nor do we have ONE genuine prospect in the academy in terms of wingers.

Perhaps. Personally not that impressed with Chong, and Buffonge is more of a central player. Boonen is a wide player, but not on Sancho's level, like Chong, in my opinion.

Aurier has reached agreement with Man Utd. Waiting for a favourable result of his court case re. entering the UK (authorised by PSG to speak with other clubs)
This will be a superb signing!

not turning up to training several times is not a good sign... (Unless of course, the reason he has not turned up is that city have let him go or he has already signed for another team and the paper is trying to sensationalise it)
he's apparently got the hump on as Fodden, Brahim etc got to go to the states with the first team and he didn't, if that's his attitude then I doubt the very top level is for him, outstanding prospect but you can't just get the hump when you don't get what you want at 17

He may have a problem but he is a decent lad who sadly always had twats as mates .
Decent lad? Don't think so, he's an absolute bellend. My mate is a Sunderland fan and says he's exactly the same as the players he coated off... couldn't give a rats ass and always pissed.

So this was because he was omitted from the pre-season tour? Pretty strange, I get that it's City and your opportunities are already limited there as a kid but he seems pretty entitled. He only turned 17 in March.

While I don't think he missed training sessions, worth pointing out that people were saying the same thing about Pogba when he refused to sign a new contract and wait for his chance and instead went to Juve, even though he was absolutely right to do so. Sancho won't ever get playing time for City. I wouldn't be put off signing him because of that. I just don't think we could guarantee him the game time he clearly wants

Fair point.

Strange time for Glaston to see his manager say what some in the forum have said too which he's vehemently disagreed with.
