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

[crazyg]

Reports in lots of papers claim that those figures quoted by yourself are way,way out.

Don't tell me you believe everything you read in the papers?

This.
Some of the bitter, ranting shit we've been subjected to by a fucking jailbird from this shower has been a disgrace.
Let's smilingly accept their overtures, announce that 'Discussions' are taking place, let them drag on until they're
seething with frustration at the lack of progress, then start drip feeding the press any old bollox about them that we can.
Just enough to cause serious outrage without giving the bastards recourse to libel, play them along for shits and giggles,
then pull the fucking rug half an hour before the window closes.

In the mean time what's Leroy thinking

 

[OB1]

If he wants to stay he is not for sale. If he is adamant he wants to go then Pep won't want to keep him.

Not much point in keeping a player who really wants away although it's not clear that is the case with Leroy.

Ultimately the club has to put emotion aside and if the only realistic option to get a decent fee for Leroy is to sell to Bayern (because he won't sign for anyone else, including a new City contract), good business sense has to prevail. Whilst Mansour could, if he chose to, afford to throw away millions to make a point, the club cannot: City still have to play by FFP rules.

 

[cookster]

I'm comfortable with either scenario, stay or leave. Leroy stalled last year while virtually all around him continued to improve, decision is his to make.

 

[Jesus2018]

Is it possible he's not been offered the wages his agent thinks he deserves so they've contacted Bayern in order to force city's hand?

 

[bluetonium]

Hope that is true, thanks for posting.

So disrespectful of Bayern to announce publically they want to try and sign him. They'd be the first to go crying to the officials should any club do such a thing to one to their players

Hopefully also his recent beef with pep and city has been fuelled only by Bayern and not a deep desire to return to his homeland. Have a break, get some sun with his family, realise city is where it is at, and then come back focused on our goals.

City aren’t a club to let players rule their own outcomes. They have good morals in terms of wage structure and player egos. If sane does become a bad egg, would it be so bad if he left for a team not in England?
My views are if you don’t want to play for city, then I don’t want you at city. I do love Leroy though, and am surprised that contract talks have taken so long. If we do sell him, then we should be getting over £100m in todays market. Which isn’t so bad.

 

[rapidCT]

Unmitigated shite. Most clubs sell their best players for profit. City don’t sell their best players. The test of City’s transfer business is looking at what we’ve spent and the market value of those players and our squad now.

You joined in 2015 and had a handful of posts until recently and you’re about as popular as a fart in a lift in this thread with everyone apart from rabid disagreeing with you.

I am not supporting his ideas, I m supporting his freedom to exprem them on here without beeing called an idiot, stupid, girl, rag, etc

 

[rapidCT]

2 years left on his contract, I am more than sure than he is not leaving this year. Hopefully he will extend in the next days and put this story to bed.

 

[ancoats]

we really don't know the player or family around sane maybe he is home sick or just not settled or happy at manchester city ?? but from looking from the outside sane is loved at manchester city the squad players and manager all want him to stay, the leaving him at home in the last world cup has not done him any good by the german manager, maybe its that whats hurting still and it unsettled him at the start of the last season

sane is unplayable when on form and needs game time, now that is a big problem in this city squad at the moment ?? but i will say time is on his side and david silva maybe on his last legs mahrez not ripping up tree B.silva will move into center also competition for places makes you a better player, so sane is ok in my book to have a bit of a bad run or in and out the team and there is no real pressure on the lad to move unless he want outs

sane is special and will be one of the best players in europe and 2 or 3 years time will be right up there and in with a shout of winning Ballon d'Or he is that good

 

[come-on-barney]

That Germany that has had no issues with " human rights" in last eighty years or so......that Germany?

What the

 

[rnblade]

2 years left on his contract, I am more than sure than he is not leaving this year. Hopefully he will extend in the next days and put this story to bed.

It could go either way I suppose.
If Leroy decides to stay and knuckle down with the world’s greatest manager and continue to win honours and be professional and see out his contract, or be a stroppy kid and wrap his hand in because he wants to move. He has TWO years left on it, don’t waste them. He is more than able to ask for a massive pay rise if he re-negotiates his future contract. But, if the cünts in Germany are in his ear about ‘being in Germany to play for Germany’ have got their claws into him, he might choose that. Silly if you ask me, a National team, cutting off it’s nose to spite it’s face because one of the most exciting forwards in the modern game won’t play for Bayern. Twats.

There are obviously other variables involved in this, but Leroy should really be listening to some seasoned Pros like Merlin & Kun about the benefits of being here with us.
I hope we get this settled before the summer either way.

 

[Lemon7277]

I honestly think the shun of the world cup played very heavily on his shoulders this year,being voted young player of the year then being ommited from a world cup squad for a lad of such a young age must of been a proper kick to the spuds and head f**k to say the least..no coincidence aswell that his form took nose dive when his nipper arrived aswell

 

[Deleted member 77198]

I am confident he will sign the new contract with us very soon...

 

[gooner6729]

Bayern Munich are the Rags of Germany, as a side note, and we're now seeing the originals dropping down the PL
and desperate to be associated with someone, anyone, who can improve a playing squad chocka-block with
disinterested strollers and slimming world dodgers, and a manager with the CV of a sixth form prefect who happens
to run the under 15's house eleven.
Ask anyone from Northern Germany, I did when I was in Berlin, they're not exactly full of praise for them, same with Dortmund,
who consider them 'Yokels' in lederhosen and silly hats.
Stay here Leroy.

Berlin? A city with next to no football pedigree or culture. A city that has brought nothing but bad things to the other states of Germany over the centuries. A city that is economically reliant on the powerhouses of the South to subsidise it's moribund finances.

Each to their own, but I'll pick Bavaria over that on every level from culture,economy through to the one that really matters which is football.

Next time you speak to your friends why don't you ask them about 1932. That's when Bayern ruled the roost. Unfortunately a club with strong Jewish connections, a middle class fanbase and a Bavarian identity didn't sit too well with the people who took over in Berlin at that time. Bayern was systematically persecuted by these people who preferred more "German", working class clubs.

That's why it took up until the 1960s for the club to recover, but the hateful myth that Bayern are somehow un-German persists to this day.

By all means hate Bayern. But do yourself a favour and don't spout nonsense about a history you know nothing of.

If someone makes idiotic statements that are baseless and easily disproved on a football forum of all places then you're going to get (deserved) abuse.

 

[Mancity1980]

This is a very difficult situation to judge. Will he stay or go? Should he stay or go? (I think at this moment he should stay). He may never adjust to Pep’s system, he may become the best player in the world, he may flop in Germany or here with us, his transfer fee may finance improvements for us (a bit like Coutinho’s for the dippers).

I think the problem is he is a raw uncut diamond with an arrogant attitude a bit like a young Ronaldo or Balotelli. One is a 5 times ballon d’or winner, the other 4 years frozen out by the national team until his old city manager picked him again. Which is he?

 

[jrb]

Play him and pay him and he will.stay.

Leave him on the bench, pay him less than most of the other payers, and he has every right to move to another club. Shame it's just to dirty Bayern.

It would be by default that the ‘English’ would talk about the war as a defence mechanism. It’s only in the last 20 years that a new generation couldn’t give a flying fuck, however it’s only now that you see it for what it is...

Perception is reinforced from multiple variables/sources, Bayern, like it or not, is seen as one of the proverbial bullies of the game, much like the rags, who feel they have a divine right for success due to its history....
