He’ll be 33 next September, as he enters his tenth and likely final year, so it makes sense for the transition to happen sooner rather than later; it’s simply replicating what happened with Silva last season and now this.

Shite.June the 2nd 1988 is his date of birth.
So none of this easing shite.

Could be longer if he wishes, hes a player that hasn't been overused here, and has very good fitness, last season for me was his best yet, maybe he could still get better, he's certainly more mature as a player, and more inclined to bring others into play

I just love watching him,he makes things happen for himself as well as others and that's what you need your striker to do,big game player,i think he will do his 2 yrs then go back and play in Argentina,he will be the last of the oldies,it'll be a sad day,people insist gabby should be first choice next season but that's ridiculous,he is not a patch on sergio yet

Agree completely.

Also, I am sure you have noticed, Sergio's ability to retain possession whilst under immense pressure - and whilst trying to make things happen high up the pitch - is incredible. He's like Yaya or Silva in that he almost never gives the ball away (unless it's a shot). He's perfect for the way Pep wants us to play.

And why sign the prime of your life away to a manager who has issues with you (at best) and who leaves you on the bench, subs you on on 90 minutes and subs you off first. Whilst you're being paid much less than you could earn elsewhere?

Just playing devil's advocate here.

If Pep had played Sané more often, I don't think this thread would exist, he'd have re-signed ages ago.

Continuing with your devil's advocate theme. If what you say was true, we should get rid as he isn't anywhere good enough
 
Let's not forget, that despite all the noise coming out of Bayern, reading into Pep's comments, media assumptions and whatever else speculation follows this, the default scenario is he is still here and a City player for the next two seasons. Even if he doesnt extend his contract. And the more time passes closer to Our window closing, the likelier that becomes.

Aguero's birthday is the 4th of June, so he's got nearly another year until he's 32...
 
Anyone else thinking the der speigel crap that was about last season was partially driven to weaken city and unsettle sane (and potentially gundo whos also reneging on a new deal). Not a coincidence that we’ve been targeted by german media and then our two most unsettled players are german

It doesn't matter? They've been negotiating in public for a month now.

According to reports in Germany, Bayern have now opened negotiations with us for Sane.

I know we've been reading that since may. But this time for real, they say. This time it's formal, official, for sure.

They've said as much before of course, but this time, they really really mean it.

..till we hear the same again next week, after City come out and say there has been no contact.
