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

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Kind of agree but I also wonder, if he is genuinely a £150m player, why he isn't getting in our first team week in week out?

Because Pep doesn't trust him. C'mon, keep up.

 

[basokla]

This shit is worse than Isco I or II.

 

[cleavers]

Maybe Fraudiola actually knows what he's doing. 3 (4?) trophies last season tends to support this theory.

This, and its damned hard to get into a team that's winning 14 straight league games, 2 cup finals, and who on 20 out of their last 21 games in all competitions, if you aren't in there already.

 

[cleavers]

But if Bayern are willing to pay him that, then I can understand his point.

I'll wager bayerns wage offer is nowhere even close to £150k p/w, it would probably make him their top earner, and bring others to the table wanting to match him.

I would say he’s worth more than £113 mill, if he extended, maybe not quite £150 mill, I’d expect that for Sterling and don’t think he’s worth as much as Sterling.

As brilliant and as crucial as Sterling is to our system, I don't think he's viewed as world class outside of City so 150m might be slightly wishful thinking. In my opinion, Sané would fetch considerably more because he's the sort of outstanding individual talent that clubs pay world record fees for. If he extends, I reckon he could go on to be the most expensive player of all time in a few years. I genuinely think his ceiling is that high.

why wouldn't sterling be classed as world class, he is world class and has proved it time and time again, he might not be as tall and handsome as sane but he is a better footballer at the moment

Not denying he's a brilliant footballer and his numbers are exceptional. Just don't think he's the sort of player that commands that kind of money. True, he was the more consistent of the two last season but Sané is capable of the sublime and in my opinion has a higher ceiling.

I'll never understand this line of thinking.

Not better,just different

 

[bavarian blue]

Raheem is consistent because he has matured and learnt his trade , Sane on the other hand can come up with a moment of brilliance that nobody can predict.

Theres only a year between them , 2 seasons ago Id have said Sane was ahead of Sterling. Sane could have a higher ceiling but today Sterling has moved ahead of Sane and if both were made available I think Sterling would go for more he’s proven his consistency , Sane has shown flashes but is still potential. The next 2 to 3 years should see both at their peaks so we’ll see.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

If he does go which is possible how about getting kimmich hes a brilliant player.

Think we will just leave that to the baldy fraud eh. He's supposed to know what he's doing.

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

If that twat pogba is worth £180m surely Leroy is worth £450m

Fixed for you

Don't take this as leroy v raheem because imo they are both world class,
But raheem can play left, right st, just behind the st,and attack midfield, leroy is a great left winger, struggles in a different position on the evidence of his game time, so for me at city in our system raheem is better

 

[LucahArchie10]

I don't think City have put a price on Leroy, all I've seen is City telling Bayern to go fuck themselves..

 

[cleavers]

all I've seen is City telling Bayern to go fuck themselves

Where have you seen this ?

All I've seen is lots of guff from bayern, and absolutely zilch from City (or Leroy to be fair).

Have they even made a bid ? They won't, they know they can't afford him, or his wages, so all they're doing is chatting shit in the hope it unsettles him, and he requests a move, it hasn't worked.

Some City fans need a thicker skin.

Spot on.

He has TWO years left on his contract in case the flappers haven't noticed. Keep dreaming you fading German rags

Hot air and hope is all I hear.

If they were in with a serious shout then they wouldn't be begging him to go to their filthy club through media comments.

 

[caseball]

I'd still say that adidas value madrid more than them just because their clearly bigger and their shirt sales probably destroy bayerns.

How big's their shareholding in Real? And do they sit in the boardroom in Madrid?
