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

[blue ranger]

Sorry if anyone has mentioned it earlier, but listened to Ian Cheeseman podcast earlier. He said he heard a rumour from someone that works at City at the EDS game yesterday that Leroy Sane injury may not be quite as bad as initially feared (or words to that effect). If he was back earlier would be a huge bonus.

With the step up from Mahrez, who by the way looks unplayable currently, we’re not desperate for him but he will be a huge lift to have back.

Only saying what Ian cheeseman said. Any he didn’t say that he didn’t have an ACL injury. Just maybe not as bad.

Mahrez was fantastic on Saturday but we have 60 games a season and enough games for everyone. Leroy is the only out and out wide left player if we want to stretch the pitch.

The germans have backed off quicker than fatman custis from a salad bar

Too true - only point I’d make is that Bayern are not representative of all Germans. Most Germans hate Bayern and their arrogance too. Vile club hated outside Bavaria.

It’s interesting that Bayern do see themselves as The German team - similar to the Rags and the Dippers (thinking the whole Country is behind them in Europe) - no emotional intelligence- think they are universally popular when they are despised by many.

Pep only said that based on the initial information that there was ACL damage.

He did not know the severity of it and just gave a timeline of the worst cases I would assume.

City now have more time to assess the situation and recovery so if there is info saying he will be back in 4 months it isnt outlandish and doesn't make Pep a liar.

 

[Centurions]

Considering the scousers won the title at least 4 times last season, the only surprise is it took this long. Oh well, there's always the carabou

What's Rudolph got to do with it?

And in it by many. They truly are the Deutsch Rags.

I like Germans.

Just not that fucking club & the way some other clubs seem to back it.

Germans are probably some of the friendliest people you could meet. Bayern are just a shit stain to that country.

***BREAKING NEWS***

The German Rags have signed 30 year old Perisic on a season long loan with immediate effect, with an option to buy.

It looks like a stop gap signing, so I can see the Sane saga dragging on for another 12 months... :-(

UNLESS there is more to Hudson Odoi dragging out his contract negotiations?

 

[Pedestrian]

BM gaffa having to defend the signing of perisic today in a piece in the guardian. Went balls in for sane and sign perisic. Sounds like a team local to us.

Theres a test they do in Cugats HQ that Mendy showed on his Instagram last year, and it's like a weird clamp that goes on your knee after the swelling has gone down and they measure how much the ligament moves or flexes.

If it gets to a certain point, you need surgery and it's the whole 7-9 months. If its 1mm less than that, you dont need surgery and it's much shorter.

It could well be hes gone to Barca this week (I think we heard the surgery was scheduled for Thursday?) and he passed that test meaning no surgery or a smaller surgery is required.


Fingers crossed anyway.

I'd argue that many of their fans are from outside Bavaria. I drove to our first game there a few years ago, and the fans were streaming down the autobahn from well before Stuttgart. Certainly hated by fans of other clubs I agree, but like united they have an awful lot of glory hunters from out of town, meanwhile there is a large support for 1860 in Munich itself, even though they are currently in the 3rd level.

The club confirmed it

The club confirmed it

There is a big range of ACL injuries though. And you can't know until you have all the scans. I don't know at what stage the club put the statement out.
