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

[mosssideblue]

Am I understanding this correctly; that people want to sell Sane because he doesn’t smile enough?

No your not, but a nice try at spinning it

Ah. The natural lugubrious look. I have it to. Several times over the years, i would be sat on something like a train minding my own business when an old dear would come up to me and say, "Cheer up, love. It may never happen."

I didn't think anyone spoke to anyone else in London. ;-)

I just hope Leroy is using Bayern to get a better deal, on the vids nothing there indicates he is unhappy. We say don't want to sell and are not in negotiations Bayern say the opposite, just wish our side would report them for tapping up, if they don't, I get the impression that maybe there is some substance to Bayerns' tweets. IMO just hope he stays, gets the new deal he and the club are happy with and we then carry on.

It’s not tapping up though. Tapping up is when a player (or their agent) is contacted without the knowledge of the player’s current club.

What Bayern have done by putting this all out in the public is the compete opposite of tapping up.

I think consent here is the crucial point.

Spot on.

In Bayern's case it amounts to grovelling and begging.
Pathetic and zero class, as you would expect.

If they were super confident they wouldn't have to publicly plead for him, they would go about their business quietly....which is exactly what we are doing -:)

There's nothing that gets my goat more than other clubs talking about our players without City's consent.

I don’t think it is. The club who the player belongs to just has to be informed that their player and/or agent will be approached. No consent is needed but can be refused.

A club can say nothing and allow it to happen.

And who’s to say City haven’t allowed it anyway?

What I like about this thread is that pretty much everyone is in agreement and understands Pep's philosphy on two fronts.
1. If Sane stays/extendds, he needs to work harder in defending and listen explicitly to what Pep asks.
2. If Sane is unhappy, then he's free to leave . However City reserve the right to get paid adequately which is anywhere betweeen £100m-150m.

I don't like Bayern but I don't resent him if that's what he chooses. He might have one eye on the national team and it's a given if he joins them.
Look at our squad. Any player NOT in the England first team bar Foden? Which WILL happen very soon.

Mick Jagger said if Sane says he wants Bayern they will go full on after him! That tells me after weeks of courting from the whole of Bayern teams Sane still not said yeah I fancy it then he is staying but untill he signs a new contract this courting will not stop.

This.
And as stupid as it is, FIFA only talk of "the professional" - not the agent!

"Consent" is only part of the English rules.

I can only recommend to take the time and read this one, that sounds quite realistic and well researched:

How people feel about the rules is different from person to person, but talking about football we really should know the rules.

It's so annoying that media "pundits" mostly have a shockingly low knowledge about rules and their rubbish is then spread over the world.

Could you imagine if all this Bayern interest is just a tactic by his agents to get a better wage offer?

Ha. That was up north, mate. Yep, they don't talk to each other on public transport down here. Fellow passengers would rather shoot a dirty look. :)

 

[bumbleblue]

Come on Leroy, get it signed and for gods sake lets all move on. Sick of hearing about this and with Karl Heinz fucking taxcrim mouthing off all the time.

Their manager would not have said a word if that was the case though.

Still could be classed as tapping up

Why's that?

My guess is this transfer has already been agreed, we're just awaiting for Sane's replacement to land in Manchester.

It would a good move for all sides - Sane needs gametime as he has stopped progressing and cannot claim a place in the first 11 at City, Pep probably needs a more intelligent and hardworking forward capable of playing 'inside', and Bayern need a posterboy for economic reasons.

There isn’t a more talented, or as young, a player as Sane available at anything like £90M. To put it mildly it would be a fucking shit move for us

If that was the case the Bayern courting of sane wouldn't be happening.

So the club you support your basically calling them liars, Pep, Tixi, Khaldoun all bullshitters, ok then nice to know.
