Deal agreed with Bayern Munich for Leroy Sane - €60m (including add-ons)

Makes me mad

There's no reason to be mad regardless of what happens with Leroy.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

can't get my head around why he's not starting games

every man and his dog can see what a fantastic player he is but nobody knows what's going on behind closed doors but it's not looking good I'm afraid

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

Or, he's just not been playing that well, and Bernardo, Sterling, Gundogan have been, and David Silva is Pep's general on the pitch?

If Sané was doing enough, Pep would be playing him even if he was leaving in the summer, like he is with Gundogan.

David Silva has been utterly abject for a couple of months now

No he has not. Just not been as good as he has been. Hardly abject.

Yeah, he's not been at his best, but he's Pep's mini me. The guy who is so important that when he was missing, Pep thought the team fell apart and forgot how to play his football. He is a leader on the pitch through his actions, and he also is very handy at keeping possession which always makes things easier on the defenders.

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

No he has not. Just not been as good as he has been. Hardly abject.

He has been giving the ball away carelessly for a while now. Not contributing much attacking wise. I'm shocked he's being picked still. He's been dreadful mate.

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

Will be a big loss if he does go, he's not even at his peak - still only a young lad, who has massive potential, it could be one of them decisions what come back to haunt us but at the end of the day it boils down to him and if he doesn't want to stay well that's his downfall, he does seem to be a bit temperamental and gives off a sulky vibe too sometimes

Only Pep could fuck about with a team that reached 100 points.

to caveat that, only Pep could manage a team to 100 points in the first place.

The genius' all have their quirks. Always

 

[Mid Wales blue]

I just find it a bit strange, it’s the 2 players from Germany, that haven’t signed new contracts!

Exactly what you might say for Sane.
One is a perennial starter (and most City fans would be happy with that even if David is short of his vest), the other hardly ever plays in recent months.

Agreed, said today he's a flawed genius.

Bayern after both maybe?

We’re on course for 98 points. Only Bill could think that’s fucking about.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Maybe there is no issue with Pep and Sane,and its simply a case of Sterling and Bernardo being so awesome on the flanks that he cant find room for him?

If Sane thinks that is reason to leave then good luck to him.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

You've gotta trust that Pep has his reasons. Perhaps he's not doing it in training? He always looks lively when he comes on though. I get why you might prefer Sterling and Bernardo's energy and physicality in the big games though.

 

[Bill]

We’re on course for 98 points. Only Bill could think that’s fucking about.

well it may not be enough. did we need Marhez? has Sane been that poor?. finally wtf makes a manager think he can rotate in a CL quarter final. genius I give you , flawed ? oh yes.

 

[55yr old teenager]

I must admit it will.be very disappointing if sane leaves. Don't know why he is not getting game time, maybe this is part of the problem as to why he wants to leave

 

[FantasyIreland]

Sign it,just fucking sign it!!!

 

[Bpughh]

defo cannot let this man leave. best in the world at what he brings
