Yeah, we did so bad last year with Sane contributing to bench. Selling Ibra was awesome, dickhead was pulled back down to earth. And you have no sources, boy.Look, if city sells Sane we can kiss the league goodbye. Don't get me wrong, I love pep but Pep sometimes gets it wrong. I remember Pep selling Eto for Ibrahimovic and that was a travesty of the highest order. Sane is 23 and is not even close to his peak. Convince him to sign and forget about Felix. English football is not a kids game. By the way, my source tells me city will not sign Felix this year.

id go balls deep for kimmich, see where his loyalties lie then
No I did not, of course not, as Sterling always gave his all to the team, acted like a true professional and for that he played, and performed and by doing so warranted his new improved deal.
Sane is a very good player. There is no doubt about it. On his day he is a match winner and any team would be foolish not to try to retain his services as I believe we are.
That said and done no one player is greater than the team. The team always comes first.
Pep has said repeatedly that he does not want players who for whatever reason don’t want to be hear and that is irrespective of how good the may be. An unhappy player is a bad influence in the changing room and must be avoided at all costs.
I think Sane is quite happy here but is angling after getting himself the best possible deal and who can blame him for that! If he is unhappy just let him go for the best possible price and good luck to him. There should be none of this “shouldn’t let him go at all costs “ nonsense talk. He is not indispensable. Nobody is.
Agreed.
So what's the point for Leroy hesitating to sign an extension?
- Wages? Nah, Bayern won't pay more than City.
- German squad? Nope, he will have a career there anyway.
- More success and glory? Nah, not really.
- Homeland? Could well be, but I don't know.
- Pep himself? Is he too demanding? Is there some personal issue between those two? No idea.
- Playing time? Certainly.
IMO, Leroy would like to join Bayern - for whatever reason,
otherwise he would have made some kind of positive comments about his future at City.
Actually Bayern doesn't want to or simply can't pay market value.
Leroy would have to force a transfer for a lower fee by telling City he wants to leave
or by hesitating the whole summer
or by not signing an extension, which would be a possible threat for next summer.
Pep has been saying for months he wants him to stay, but no deal is agreed.
There must be a reason besides pure money.
As Leroy doesn't say what he wants we just can speculate.
Wouldn't be surprised if we lose him, sadly.
But as you said, nobody is indispensable.
That's a lot of,erm guessing,our players don't talk about their contracts usually and he is away with the national team,things will become clearer but probably not until he has had his holiday,patience
So Bayern not paying more is the only reason to negotiate the best possible financial deal you can?Agreed.

I don't suppose they have either. That doesn't mean you don't (take time to) negotiate to improve it thoughI wouldn't suppose City made a shit offer.
And as I said I don't think it's about money in the first place.
We'll see.
I think this Sane not signing a new contract is all about a lack of playing time........he is throwing his toys out of the pram. He needs to look at what Bernardo did after his first season here.
Some of Sane's performances/cameos were truly awful this season..even in games where we were winning comfortably he came on and was the worst player in the 11.
ON his day he is world class and he has got everything to be the best (more so that Sterling and Jesus imho) but the one thing he lacks (and those two have) is the correct attitude and the ability to dig in when its not going well for you. When this happens his head drops and then Pep gives him a bollocking - and he doesn't like it
Leroy needs to man up a bit. Stop letting his mother (agent) dictate what you are doing and focus becoming a much more consistent player.
Leroy literally has the world at his feet and with the right application he could go tot he very top (Mbappe levels) but he needs to accept that tough love at times from Pep ....again all he needs to do is look across the locker room at sterling, Bernardo and Jesus to see where that will get him
He's apparently had an offer on the table for 18 months from us, he had plenty of playing time last season.I think this Sane not signing a new contract is all about a lack of playing time........he is throwing his toys out of the pram.

And Sane hasn't ? Is that what your saying.
i was elaborating on a previous post who said "give him 48 hrs to sign or tell him to move on"How is he basically on strike?
