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

[blueparrot]

How the hell are they getting away with this ‘tapping up’ Imagine if this was us?

It isn't really a thing anymore , unless they actually meet or speak to the player himself.

 

[waspish]

He’s gone

To the loo?

Can’t be proven but of course they have, may be through very close third parties.

On holiday, for a takeaway ? Tell us more.

Probably, then again though not publicly like Bayern I think Txiki has talked a few into coming here,KDB talks about how Txiki persuaded him. Think all clubs do now. The exception was Klopp getting caught at it with Van Dijk. The public courting of him is distasteful but don’t think it breaks any rules.

I change my mind at least twice a day, but today I think you may well be right. Think it’ll come to a head either way this week.

Kovac would be staying stum if this was near. He’s putting pressure on his Board.


I hope.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

I'm gonna jinx it, he's 100% going.

 

[itisrising]

He said top clubs sell to each other all the time,we don't,facts are facts

Well in a normal situation we wouldn't. But if Sane wants to go and, considering his contract status, it's a no-brainer. It's not a case of we don't, we just haven't because we haven't been in this situation before.

Thanks for your input CC1. For your information, I'm neither a wind up merchant, nor a gullible fool. I posted in good faith what I know of the situation, if you take offence to that then so be it, but don't tar me with that brush.

I'd also like to point out that I'm no racist, someone must be very precious if they think calling a nation arrogant is racist!
Finally, to the poster who pointed out that I've been a member for 10 years and have under 200 posts, surely this should tell you I'm no wind up merchant, merely someone who observes and only comments when I may have something to offer.

Thanks to the user who called out the patronising tag, I can fight my own battles but you did it far better than I could have done.

What you reported about Sane having a go at Foden - is pretty serious stuff so you must expect to be challenged. So many folk refer to some anonymous person from the club when springing such information on us - it appears the club is full of unreliable people. However this is not how the club is run anymore & I, for one, don’t believe there are such untrustworthy staff within the club now. That’s why I questioned your anonymous source.

As my last post

Nathan Redmond it is then...……………..

Betting odds have now been suspended on Skybet for Sane transfer

 

[journolud]

If.....and only if....sane is going to Bayern for whatever reason then surely the club should be working on a deal for bale imo

Lol

You didn't call out an anonymous source though did you? You called me a wum and a fool. Both uncalled for.
If you also think that two footballers having a go at each other is serious stuff, then you've never played the game at any level.
I was only relaying what I've heard, I don't want to believe it any more than you do, however, my source/sources have no reason to fabricate lies and something just doesn't sit right with this whole matter. I am merely pointing out that this could be the root cause.

You changed it from little shit to something else not as bad,almost like you wanted it to sound worse than it was if it was true

Yes Karen, I changed it. I wasn't there, I don't know what was said, all I can say is that I was told the episode happened.

We’ve known about Bayern’s interest since before the summer, why would we wait until just over a week before the window closes to let him go and then try and find a replacement in such a short period of time? That would be extremely foolish, something you’d expect from Woodward and his cronies, not City which is why I don’t believe he will go.

2 years left on his contract, when you factor in the inevitable inflation of the market next summer, we would get near enough the same amount for him next summer as we could this anyway and then we’ve got a year to actually find a replacement if he really is set on leaving.

We could of course choose to sell and not replace him as some are suggesting but if we do that, we would have lost Kompany and Sane with no replacements and would have undeniably gone backwards significantly which is something I don’t see us doing under Pep Txiki and Sorriano.

Already mentioned weeks ago if sane goes we not buying any replacements.

Well he either told you he said he called phil a little shit or he didn't,to put any player in that bad a light you had better be getting your story straight

Please accept that this could all be crap and I'm not trying to stir any shit here, but I heard Leory was saying "I am the big man" you're a little shit. Pep heard about it and was less than impressed.

Perhaps I should have said , you're a little nobody , rather than a little shit. All I know is that something went on between the two of them and Sane hasn't Being playing regular since.
