Just shows that stats can be used to suit anyone's argument. Two stories from the same month have completely different lists.

The best stat is what the eye can see.

Some people on this site can’t see shit.

Agree on both counts, some can see Traore has two assets, his pace and his dribbling ability, that aside his game is shit, decision making and passing leave a lot to be desired.

Funnily enough the stats back that up too.

Dribbling and kick and rush are two different things. So the stats can be manipulated either way.

Unless specific instances can be given and we can watch them then it's hard to know what they've constituted as a "dribble"

Maybe he should have stayed with us , he could keep Foden company on the bench.

I am just saying.

Foden can show Sancho his medals next time they meet.
Then he can arrange a knowledge transfer session for Sancho re what Foden has learned from Pep, Silva, Brown, et al...
Then Foden can tell Sancho what it is like to be involved in chasing a quadruple
Then they can chat about current wages and potential future earnings.

I am just saying.

Sancho had the impatience of youth and the wrong advisors in his ear. Yes he is playing and has earned an international call up etc. However, his footballing tuition would have been better served under Pep.

I expect an article from Sancho in a good few years with some regret on the opportunity he missed out on.

Money talks Player walks, sad but he was in the best place for him. Foden is learning the game from the best manager and MF players in the game. All good for City long term and the players.
