An interesting comparison in the future will be between Sancho and Foden.
Both are the same age.
What does Sancho gain by leaving us?
So far it is regular football, he is in his third (and a half) season of regular football and one domestic cup.
But regular football from 18 can be a poisoned chalice. Being kicked around, body not fully physically matured, inexperienced at protecting yourself, etc... The danger is being used for short term gain, massive star burst then mediocrity follows.....
Phil has medals, some game time and is being handled with longetivity in mind. He is also learning from experts and when he makes a young man's mistakes he is being protected by the club.
Time will tell who made the better decision.
I think it is Phil.
