I really can't understand the thought of N'Koudou leaving or going on loan. He is an amazing talented player pacey with good skills, injured at the moment. I hope he's given more of a chance.

Whose feet are quicker than his brain. He's done nothing apart from one pass to Jansen in pre-season.

Watched a couple of his highlight reels this morning, this kid clearly has potential, but I think any excitement needs to be tempered. He looked like an adult playing among the under 18s. He's considerably bigger than most of the other players and that may be making him look a lot better than he is.

The Onomah effect.

That said Josh seems to be doing well at Villa which is great news.

Amazing they can't see the footballing positives behind a young player leaving City.
In their defense we struggle to see the financial positives of leaving Spurs. Every fanbase draws a line somewhere on loyalty.

That said I find the fanbases of these clubs to be particularly convinced of their own magnitude and well up their own bum about themselves.

If he signs for us there's no way we'd stick him in the U23s, at least not for long. It will be because he's been given assurances that as long as he applies himself, he'll train with the first team and make the bench, especially in league cup games. I've no problem with us doing that for him - he's a special talent.

Apparently the reason he wants out of City is because he doesn't think he'll get any game time with them so you'd think he's had some assurances from us. I agree he really is a special talent.

Never heard of him until now. Asked my City mate who goes to every game who says not nearly ready for first team yet.
Don't get too carried away but deffo one for the future.

I think that was the consensus until yesterday, it seems something has changed.

I YouTubed him yesterday and he reminded me of CR7 in his early days. Feet that could bamboozle the beejesus out of anyone.

He looks to have the dembele trait of shielding the ball away from opposition making it almost impossible to get dispossessed

He sounds promising but seems odd as we already of course have Edwards and whilst Sancho is said to be a right-footed left winger and Edwards is supposedly a left-footed right winger according to transfermarkt :)confused:) although I thought he was just a general attacking midfielder - would we be able to integrate them BOTH into the same team?

It's hard enough managing Edwards ascension into the team lol.

Would be really, really exciting to get this kid, and another great validation of our approach.

Positive news from Hercules, but let's see - I refuse to let myself get excited...

He is great, his dribbling, technique and passing are incredible for someone of his age. I watched him at U17 Euro finals against Spain and whole stadium was talking only about Sancho before the match even started. He was doing some crazy Neymar-esque moves, never saw a player with so much flair at that age. Rabona passes, nutmegs, great through balls etc; I would almost prefer him to Sessegnon. He had a group of random people (not from England or City fans) cheering every time he received a pass. Really hope Arsenal don't get him.

Thanks for the insight, very interesting indeed. Really hope we get him. :)

Is it possible Sancho and sessognon would block each other's way in to the team? Sessegnon sounds like more of a winger long term and Sancho seems to be the same position.
