Sancho is the player we should have had. Still can't believe why we didn't refuse to sell Walker if Sancho wasn't part of the deal.

If they refused that then we keep Walker. Like Modric I'm sure he would have been able to get over his "dream move" when facing the prospect of reserve football and no world cup as a result.

If we ever sell a player to city again, regardless of whether he’s finished with us or integral, it’ll be a fucking joke. I don’t care about the money involved

I think the point you’re missing is we didn’t want to keep walker

He tried force his way to City and we let him get his wishes. Could easily sell him elsewhere, maybe for less, to make a point.

City couldn't keep Sancho and he wanted to come back to London, but City still refused his wishes. Surely we could have done the same.

If we wanna compete with the big boys we need to do it on and off the pitch

Obviously you’re not very good at business. Anyway it’s not the place to do this

More to life than money

Is there a price you’d sell Kane for?
To put it another way how is not getting the best deal possible good business?

My favourite youth player. Technically on a different level to anything else

I agree I really love watching Foden.

Like when people ask to rank our players. It's impossible and pointless task to say who is best in this team and just appreciate the talent.

Foden, Sancho, Gomes, CHO are all quality attackers. It's hard to really split em. Gibbs White also really impressed me replacing Gomes who was off form.

Then we have other players who are quality in their positions. My bold statement of saying Id be surprised to see better CMs than Kirby and TOB 2 years ago almost was correct as TOB has got to 2 finals winning one controlling a midfield. I'm sure Kirby would have if off field problems and injury hadn't halted his development. There are quality players everywhere.

We didn’t want him, he didn’t want to stay.

Do you accept a imaginary lower bid or accept a huge bid that’s on the table,

Like i said this isn’t the place for this so won’t reply again.

Maybe we were more interested in freeing up funds for Sanchez? .... Great piece of business by Levy!

Would love to see that U17 team Plus Sancho And Sessegnon play a mid table PL team and see what happened.Honestly wouldn’t like to call it.

Actually should arrange a game for charity between U17s and U20s would be a great day,could parade the trophies and get the acclaim from a home crowd they deserve.U17s would win imo.

That was a very good performance, that's a very talented group. I appreciate TOB seemed to be instructed to play a very disciplined role, which he did pretty well, but I thought he was very quiet today, compare that with the very similar role Onomah played for the U20's in which he excelled in their final. I suppose with the more footballing McEchran next to TOB as opposed to the more workmanlike Cook with Onomah it was slightly different.

Hudson-Odoi had a very good game, as did Foden. I thought Sessegnon had a better game today, and I think he definitely gets forward better than Eyoma.
