Makes me laugh some of the comment about weak mentality on this thread! How do they know? Do they know Leroy personally. Granted last season he did not kick on as we would have liked, but he is a great young player who has a serious injury. We should be supportive not abusive. And if he goes then we should wish him luck, he has been part of the greatest premier league team ever and does not owe us anything.
I seriously question the views of some fans on this forum sometimes

No smoke without fire, 2+2=4, I could go on. I was optimistic he would stay but I’m afraid his choice of doctor means he’s off. Hard to be critical young lad, away from home, offer etc. I suspect any crap coming his way is because of his silence. I’m sure if he came out and said I’m off, City are terrific but these are the reasons why he wouldn’t cop as much stick, although he’s not getting that much, is he?
 
I have always said this about Sane, at the start of the contract situation, that I am not really that bothered if he stays or goes. Don't get me wrong he's a very good player, but he isn't as important in the team as Sterling, Bernado or Kevin to name a few. We are in very good hands with Tixi, Ferran and Pep and they tried for a very long time to get him to sign a contract and he hasn't. If we were fine without Kevin then we'll definitely be fine fine without Sane.

He's a goner, maybe in January.
Just get the most we can for him and move on.
It's a shame as he's got the talent to be a great player but we'll be ok without him.
Only my opinion but i think Sane was always going to join Bayern and wanted out all along.

Dr Fink not Dr Cugat!
Maybe because of the country not the association with Bayern - who knows!

I'm sad to say, I hope he goes now, still require over 100M this transfer window

I expect he will never be the same player after this injury.

Maybe Cugat on holiday in skeggy

I agree with the few who suggest that Cristiano would not be the player he is today if Pep was his manager. Think he would have stifled his individuality. Some players work better under different managers basically.

Can’t agree with that view. If Pep stifled talent how come Messi became the player he is now. Not only a great individual player but a great team player. It’s acknowledged that players that play for Pep usually improve a lot.

Messi is a team player Ronaldo and sane in my opinion need teams revolving around them.

Because Messi was a great team player for Pep. Young Ronaldo certainly wasn't. He simply wouldn't track back, and he certainly wouldn't hold the width anywhere near as much as Pep would have wanted him too. He'd have been great for Pep, cos he's great, but I dont think he'd have been this solo superstar that he became.

Edit - I could be wrong of course, but its not possible for every player to fit with every manager. Ronaldo, to me at least, seems a lot more along the lines mentally of the players who didnt quite click with Pep than some of the ones who do. Zlatan, Ribery, Yaya etc.

Personally don't think he will ever wear the sky blue shirt again, gone in January if the op and rehab goes well.

By the time he comes back he'd have a hell of a time getting a game anyway not to mention the attitude and effort it will take... might not be made of that stuff and that might be what's kept him out of the lineup in the first place.

Who cares, he does not want to play in sky blue, so **** off, loved to watch him but I want players who are proud and honoured to wear the shirt.

Good point, they’re apparently offering him the #10 as well. Given his weak mentality, I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes the easy route. Get paid a lot, start every week, win the league every year with barely any competition. Bayern won’t challenge for the CL imo anytime soon but that probably doesn’t matter in this case.

Is it really that easy of an option though? We don’t have a monopoly in ambition, and Bayern is a massive club in Germany. If he takes the move he will be under immense pressure from day one there.

But is Messi a great team player because of Pep? Under a different manager he might have turned out differently.
 
A German player prefers to see a german speaking doctor he gets advised by the doctors of his FA.

You do not need to see things in it that that aren't there.

I don't like a player who takes the proverbial, and in my opinion Sane has done it to us as a club.

He has been well looked after, received the best coaching in the world, has become a top class player, but has led us down the path in terms of signing an extension to his contract.

If he wants out, no problem, but show some balls and say it...... he wants out but also wants his "loyalty bonus"
