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

[Sir Joe Aguero]

I've read that Sam Lee apparently said on a Q&A that he would miss West Ham fixture, but doesn't sound like he'd be out much longer than that.

If it was an ACL we would have heard by now. I don't think it's anything serious/to worry about.

Sam was still maintaining that Sane has told Pep/teamates he wants to leave but isn't forcing a move. It's basically down to Bayern coffing up Dembele money.

Yeah he's pretty springy when it comes to injuries. Saw a fair few challenges where I thought he could be out for a while but he popped up a week or 2 later.

We need a USD account to sell those dirty oil money petro dollars

I’m sure CFG tap into the Treasury function of ADUGs empire and we are investing any unused cash all of the time making decent returns - not only will we be protecting ourselves against currency fluctuations we are probably exploiting them for our benefit. Sterling is rock bottom and will plunge off the scale at the end of October - probably starting a currency crisis - watch those interest rates soar. The whole financial world is waiting for the U.K. to jump off a cliff and will financially benefit if they are prepared. The pound may sink to parity with the dollar but longer term it’ll return to circa $1.50 so long term investors like our owner will make a killing.

A point lost on some of today’s press.... apparently he has the highest salary in the prem

Well he is probably the best player in the Prem so that would be fair enough.

 

[Machiavelli]

I'd say it's his no1 asset and if he didn't have it he wouldn't even be at Zaha's technical level. He consistently get caught offside, which is effectively losing possession, whilst his finishing is not Mbape standard.

As I've said, he's rocket quick but without it the rest of his game is so so! In fact, have you ever seen him even head a ball?

Fucking lol.

He’s not even close to Sanchez salary, despite the disparity in ability!

 

[argyle]

Mr Lee of the Athletic's claim that Sane has told team mates and Pep he wants to leave are scoffed at by Tolmies Hack Pack. Never forget he's really a "Scarlet Sam"

tbf not sure it was Sam Lee that said that?

 

[Machiavelli]

He did.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

These stories coming from Germany that Bayern are going to walk away from the deal because of concerns about his knee injury are beyond hilarious lol

 

[blueinsa]

Right so @93.20blue ..you’re saying Leroy staying!? Not been on here in a while. I missed summat,you ITK,or..!? Guys!?

He has done more than alright of late calling transfers and new out.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Same shit, different day.

I know but...

 

[jollylescott]

The Bayern back pedalling is starting. The fluid on the knee will be their convenient, facesaving excuse.

 

[bumbleblue]

So ..now looking like Leroy's knee will save Bayern’s face?

 

[kaz7]

Sane is staying !!!

You had better be right posting something like that

 

[bluemonkey71]

Is 9320 to be believed?

So as well as having a hotline to Sane’s agent, Sam is privy to players’ confidential medical records and the results of any tests or scans they undergo. Impressive connections.

Or he’s just fucking making it all up as he goes along.

Leroy Sané still has fluid in his knee which delayed a precise diagnosis and made it difficult. Bayern’s team doctor, Peter Ueblacker, was spotted explaining the injury to Hasan Salihamidžić yesterday. There are fears the deal might still collapse. [@SPORTBILD via @iMiaSanMia]

Hardly a scoop getting the latest on an injury. Duncan Castles of all people broke the news that Mendy suffered an ACL.

Knowing that Sane's told people within City he wants to leave obviously isn't going to be coming from his agent either, is it? It will come from a club source.

I'm not claiming he's right, just relaying what i've read.

Lee has contacts within the club and has been considered a reliable source for a long time. Just because he's reporting news City fans don't like shouldn't mean he's instantly dismissed.

If there was even a possibility of a proper injury, Leroy would have been put in a moonboot on Sunday straight away, just as a precaution.

The fact he was walking about the pitch after full time, climbing the steps at Wembley etc. with just a little bandage on his leg means it's nothing. Which is what Pep said - -at first it looked bad but now it seems small, and that was at his press conference on Sunday.
