Of course they are fucking liars, Jesus Christ. Football clubs can't put the whole truth out. When it comes to transfers/contracts they have a party line which they stick to for blindingly obvious reasons.

I understand that to a certain extent, but not about a key member of our squad ffs, like this poster is saying.
 
These twats really are only third behind the rags & dippers in the classless stakes. Hope he stays for this season and if he does go elsewhere its psg or real for market value, and not that shower of corrupt shit spewing knob jockeys on the cheap.

Coz I presume the Bayern manager is working for Bayern,not Leroy's agents ? Just a guess like

Well I was speculating that his agents are playing Bayern to get a rise in offer out of us. They're not going to clue Bayern in otherwise City wouldn't rise to it.

How I see it is a lack of understanding the game fully just yet and like Kyle Walker alluded to in an interview on FiveLive in 2018 - a lack of confidence/belief in himself at times [“if he just believed in himself he could be anything”]

In no way at all do I see a lack of interest or effort.

That may be the case but it amounts to a similar outcome. Look I am not trying to knock the guy and hope he stays but I don't think he will.

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.

This appears to me to be an unconventional transfer because Bayern look like they are trying to get him out of City by the back-door. They appear to be trying to present City with a fait accompli whereby a player who has not signed his contract extension suddenly goes to City, demands a transfer, and City are faced with either agreeing and taking £80-£90m now or half that in 12 months time. I think City know exactly what is going on, indeed I get the feeling that it is Bayern who are going to be the losers in this, because they have spent an entire Summer pursuing this project, and at the moment it seems like they are going to be unsuccessful.

If so,the manager wouldn't say anything regarding it I'm sure,not unless he was very confident of getting him,nothing makes sense with this saga no more,like you have just said,speculating is the only way forward,somert I'm not getting embroiled in,because most of it is pure guesswork now

Most of it is indeed pure guesswork from our POV on here, but I'd be surprised if Sane and his agent hasn't spoken to Munich. The longer this drags on, the less time we have to possibly buy a replacement. I think it's time for Leroy to reveal what he intends to do on staying or leaving. It's dragged on far too long as it is.

Yup,it's been time for Leroy to reveal his feelings for over a fortnight now,it's a piss take the whole saga
 
Like everything in life there is middle ground. Everyone knows he is an immense talent and it would be disappointing to lose him but it is also fair to ask why with all his talent isn't he playing. Pep is no fool and will do what is best for the team so what is stopping him picking Leroy? I don't think it's turning on Leroy to ask these questions. It doesn't have to be anything negative about either person. I was thinking about the Thierry Henry video when he explained that Pep took him off because he decided to go against Peps system and move from his position. It could just be that Leroy feels this doesn't suit his style of play and tends to break Peps rules on the pitch now and then or he struggles to play that way. Pep has said many times that if one player breaks the system it puts pressure on the rest of the team and it annoys him. I know this is all if's but's and maybe's but there could be genuine reasons that Leroy could be considering leaving maybe he thinks their style of play suits him better and maybe Pep is prepared to let him go because he needs someone who will play 100% his way. It could be a situation where there is no bad guy and it just is what it is. After saying all that I hope he signs and we get even stronger this season.
 
I’m hoping his game time in pre-season is a positive sign. If it was a done deal Pep wouldn’t have entertained playing him.

This is probably going to be the major contract of his career, with a chance of him becoming the best player in the world during its duration. It was never going to be easy to negotiate.
 
Hope he starts on Sunday. Even if he leaves it would be nice to see him tear the Dippers a new arsehole one more time
