It's not "my" club. It belongs to everyone .We don't have owners.

I don't know if you speak German or any other foreign language, but Bayern is always referred to as "Die Bayern" , Dortmund as "der BVB" etc . Nobody would ever say "We were shit on Saturday " or "we should sign a winger". It's always "they need a new manager" or "they won't win the CL with that team".

It's a cultural thing. In fact I believe the UK is the only country where the football club you support is a "we" rather than a "they ".

Wow you are truly unbelievably arrogant and abusive just like the team you support, always want to be the bully!
I hope both you and your horrible team, shit your pants over this transfer, Sane is a wonderful talent who should be respected

If by just over a year, you mean 2 years then yes. However we got £9m for a 17 year old who wanted out and had not started a game for the club, had one year left of their contract AND went on strike. And you think Txiki is to blame for that?

Fucking stroll on, what rock have you crawled out from?

I don't agree with him on this one but just to play devils advocate: Hudson Odoi has also played the square root of fuck all, looks less talented than Sancho by all accounts and Chelsea reportedly received offers of 40 million quid for him. He's got longer on his contract and hasn't gone on strike yet but does that equate to being worth 4 times the value of a clearly more talented Sancho?

I think Txiki has done wonders for the club but I don't think you can hold up the Sancho transfer as being one of his golden moments. Iheanacho for 25 million ABSOLUTELY but not Sancho. Diaz for 22 million when he could have left for free about 90 days later was ridiculous too. Flogging Fernando for 4.75 million is up there with the great train robbery too.

Hudson Odoi is benefitting from the Sancho effect. If he'd been in Sancho's position, gone to Dortmund and done well instead of Sancho, then Bayern would probably have been all over Sancho if he'd still been with us. Bad timing from our point of view is all.

Guillem Balague reported in a article on the BBC sports site that we received a bid of £130 million for Bernardo from a top side last summer and flatly turned it down.

good decision that, for how great our guys are, for me bernardo is our player poty and a pure gem his time here. our heart and catalyst when kevs been out.
like stated earlier no one is above the team, but couldn't imagine him out now.
him in our system is a match made in trophy town.
 
Every summer we have a huge round of Txiki bashing but here we are with the best manager in the world and the strongest squad that English football has ever seen and which has delivered the first clean sweep of domestic trophies. You just have to wonder how much more wrong our Director of Football could get things.

Got a horrible feeling that the Bayern slimeballs are in Leroys ears with him having to play in Germany to make the German national team,

that as well but IF they are, it would probably be full out nasty and would go further than that, maybe with stuff like, "your great and they won't start you"
"your club doesn't appreciate you" "they think your worse than the guys starting" "your deteriorating on the bench" "Pep's not utilizing you properly" with stuff like the last one being a plant the seeds of doubt rift maker. real brainwash stuff

I have heard “die Bayern” quite a lot.

Does anyone else feel a bit detached from this Sane stuff? Genuinely weird. I thought I'd care a lot more, but I just hand on heart believe that we'll carry on and be brilliant even if he does go, and someone else very exciting will come in and grow instead. No guarantee of course, but it just feels inevitable that we'll be good with or without Sane. Maybe it's the Pep effect. As long as he's there, I'm happy, cos he's the one consistent reason for 198 points.

Don't get me wrong, i'd be sad to see him go...but yeah.

Like when we make a substitution, we clap one great player going off the pitch and another coming on.
Double substitutions make my hands hurt.

Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot, if we were in the process of a major rebuild trying to take a world class winger from Bayern. They’d probably be asking for world-record money. If we must lose him then we should make it as drawn out and painful as possible for them. We shouldn’t even acknowledge offers below £100m.

Then Bayern would have to persuade the player to sign a contract renewal - and if not decide if they want to keep a player who does not want to renew and does not seem to feel well. If the situation between the club and the player is still fine and the club does not have doubts about the performance in the next season they probably will hold the player for another year if the contract still is longer than a year - if the contract would run out the following year they probably would sell...

I think the question is first a question between City and the player. If the wish of the player to leave is too big (and I think that might have to do with Sane's playing time in recent time with Guardiola) and there is doubts about his performances the next season and if that might influence the player value, too - then it might be ok to let him go if the transfer sum is acceptable.

As Bayern fan I do not really know if Sane matches to the club and the other players. The right mentality is a big thing with the Bayern fans. Ribery was loved from the first moment somehow whereas Robben had to earn the love of the fans and it only really started when he worked hard for the defense, too. Sane is the guy that comes to a meeting of the German national team (that wanted to show more nearness to the fans and "being down to earthness") in an expensive designer outfit and a 18.000 EUR backpack. Maybe he just does not care, maybe he is just too stupid - or maybe he just loves to show off too much - none is really good.

The thing that irks me here is Bayern. ****s run by ****s, I would hate to see this shower lowball us for such a talent. Hopefully we get him signed up just as a fuck you to this lot.

Yep. They are the ones behind those magazine hacks and leaks in my opinion. We should be telling them to fuck off!
 
Liverpool in this situation would get the player to sign a new 5 year contract then get top dollar in the summer because they hold all the cards.
 
If he goes he goes but on a day where Richarlison (sp) at Everton has a reported £100M price tag then Bayern had better come up with a realistic offer lol.

No way should we be selling Sane to Bayern. These people are hypocritical low life's, they have been moaning about our success and good fortune for the last few seasons and now they want one of our best players. Really!! If no formal approach to City has been made I would be reporting them straight away to UEFA for tapping up. I would tell them they cant afford Sane.

Your club would be the last I would sell any City player to. They can jog on!
