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

[cleavers]

What is clear is that there has been dialogue.

Looking at today we have clipped their wings and briefed to the media that he isn’t for sale at any price.

Bayern have been very public about this and I just think we have seen our arse today. Its a warning shot. Play nicely or we don’t play at all.

Like I said earlier, I think he is going. I just think after today it will play out much quieter.

Only a pessimist could view what has been said in the last few hours as him leaving.

In your bowels?

Constipation and anxiety are interrelated as excessive constipation can lead to anxiety in a person, and one of the common cause of constipation is known to be anxiety. Stop. I'm really internet sensitive.

Women, eh? They'd start a row in an empty phone box*


*Younger BMers; ask your grandparents what a "phone box" is.

Something like a tardis?

Well they want us to come to the table i guess, we all know Sane's agent(mum) clearly has a deal on the table from Bayern so Bayern want to try and pressure us into selling him so they can get him on the cheap and once again they flex their muscles.

i think so too, but they can try all they want, you never go to the "table", you entertain offers and you say no.
if they offer you something you can't refuse, fine.
you never give a counter offer and you never let someone know your best price.
that's just negotiating with yourself, why would you do that?

 

[mikemcfc]

£100m + Thiago and Kimmich and it's a deal.

i like the sarcasm but you may as well have included some aliens and nessie.

I reckon Khaldoon is sitting back and having a good laugh at the infighting going on at Bayern.

infighting? oh it's a real dust up alright. more like:
ceo: hey man, take it easy on the comments for awhile please, till we get this thing done.
manager: consider it done.
ceo: thank-you, how about a beer and a bratwurst?

I expect that this new good relationship that Bayern think they have with us might go further than a Sane transfer deal , maybe they have been told Sane could be available at a certain price if other shit that might be orchestrated by them stops happening ?

 

[Coatigan]

Tixi probably phoned them and said, we'll let you talk to leroy, but only if you apologise for being such douchebags first.

clearly tho, some dialogue is happening.

Still means notging until both leroy decides to move there and bayern decide to pay up.

 

[balotellishaircut]

I don't understand this " good relationship" Rummenigge is on about, I don't see it myself, but hey ho everyone to there own.

Chairmen Khaldoun and Sheikh Mansour probably see it differently though, as the german rags mentioned state owned clubs not so long ago.

Rather like trusting your fingers wouldn't be bitten in a sack full of starving ferrets.

Maybe but the odds on him staying have got tighter. He is almost certain to feature in the opening games and it will be interesting to see how he performs.

I don’t understand why people think them backtracking is a definite sign they’ve made progress.
Personally, I think it’s more likely we’ve told them to fuck off and they now have to stop mouthing off to prevent them looking like even bigger ****s

I watched the interview with Rummenigge live on German TV last night, and it did not look to me like he really believed the deal will be done. He looked like someone who was trying to backtrack in order to prevent negative fallout. This is an entirely subjective impression, and I am not a native German speaker, so I might be wrong. What puzzles me is the sudden "friendliness" and apology from Kovac. Could it be that City has them by the balls somehow, and they are forced to eat humble pie?

The German Rags thought it was Geronimo.....

I can see that now also Hasan Salihamidzic apologizes to City. So basically Bayerns version of Soriano, Txiki and Pep have all eaten humble pie heavily and in public.

It’s not pessimistic, it’s just a point of view.

However, if we are going to categorise said points of view then from a personal perspective I’m fucking delighted. So quite the contrary.

I think he has a poor attitude and currently we have much better footballers in his position.
