It would be wise to bring him in while David Silva has one more year left so Felix can get up to speed with the premier league? Plus it sounds like we are getting a two window transfer ban so we need to get a couple of extra deals done this summer to cover ourselves
I like what you're trying to sayHonestly this guy looks special, I know talent is good. But we know hard work and dedication beats that. Blues identity with players who give their all even if they are not generational talents. We have created a group of players who want to be here above all and will not want to leave in a few years or think they can track around with perfect hair style. We believe in a honest days work as our fathers taught us; it has been like this
before the take over. If Mr. Sane wants to go home it’s ok that will just make room for the guy who really wants to be here. Felix is there licking his choppers to take your number if you do inclined to give it away.
That’s is why in the dark time we can sing “ we not really here, we know who we are” and keep strong after relegation and heart aches.I think he will replace Sané
I would definitely think a deal like Chelsea's deal with the American at Dortmind would be sensible. 80m up front now, loan him back and he can join next summer despite the ban.
Nice breakdown of his strengths as a player

Would love this guy but not sure if I’d want him at the expense of Sane.
You can clearly see why Pep likes him. His movement, technique and decision making is well beyond his years. Long-term replacement for Aguero if there ever was one.
After watching that video I'd say he's best suited for the dual 8 positions that Silva and De Bruyne take up which are effectively like 2 #10's. Looks like he can play well between the lines, can play key passes to break a press and can assist and create while being able to get into the box a well. Of course he seems like he could play a number of positions, but that's just where I think he'd be most effective. I wouldn't mind him staying at Benfica another year and we tap him up when Dave is gone.
Mistake is entirely the wrong word if he refuses to sign a new contract and we’re forced to sell.I wouldn’t take a single player at the expense of Sane.
Huge decision if they get rid and it’ll be out of Pep’s hands as to whether it’s the right one in the end. If Sane wins the Ballon D’Or it will be a huge mistake, or he could be Mario 2.0 and do nought once leaving.

My attention span can't do that.....

It's not about "mistakes". If Sane (German) wants to go to the biggest German side... feels he'll get more playing time as obviously he has not had it the last month+... he'll go. Bayern would likely match most any offer we could re: wages and there's no need to have a sulking player run down his contract when we could at least cash in. If he goes we need the best young option we can muster, Sterling has LW locked down w/ Bernie on the right. Felix would learn on the job and potentially be a very good choice. All IMO of course.I wouldn’t take a single player at the expense of Sane.

Opinions and all. But I'll take Felix over Bruno everyday of the week and 2ice on Sunday.I hope City manage to keep Sané and start using him on the right flank next season (where I think he can reach his full potential), and skip this Felix-kid and look into Bruno Fernandes instead, to replace either Gundogan or David Silva. He is a great player. I find him way more impressive than Felix.
Seldom do you see Raheem sulking on a pitch.Unfortunately its a big trait of Sanes. Pity as we can all see the ability the lad has,but he lacks consistency.No one is questioning Sane's ability, but I think there is concerns about his desire to get to the very top of his trade.
In my opinion he has even more ability than Sterling but no where near his desire.
