Well they're waiting at least one year, and absolutely no one thinks we're going to let him walk for free. So really we're looking at how much a player with one year left on his deal would go for, plus some sort of premium for locking him up now while there are no other suitors. I think we're back to the £80-90m range.

I get that, i do. £80-90 next season. £135-145 this season fully fit, so £120m this season available for half of it. a lot can happen in a year. the risk is with bayern mire than city though.

I agree there is plenty to see in this, as in your original post. It doesn't mean it is necessarily true. that was really my point.

(excluding the loose we are not really here reference)

Didn't Pep fall out with Bayern's choice of surgeons because their work wasn't up to the standard he was used to in Catalunya? I'm sure your longstanding club doctor 'resigned' as a result.

It was their club doctor who left, then Pep left, and that doctor has returned, this guy isn't connected.

His career will definitely go downhill if he does.

If he is set on going, his value has plummeted imo. It would be folly to pay top whack for a player with an injury that could go several ways recuperation wise and th elonger he is on our books, his value depreciates

He cost us 40m? we have just let mangala go for free,if we want to we can keep him and sell him next summer for the 130m hazard just went for with a year left,there is no reason to suppose he won't recover ok

What does Mangala have to do with this? He went for free because he was worth free. And as much as I love Leroy, he's not Hazard, and definitely not coming off an ACL tear.

He could recover perfectly ok,he has the best in the business caring for him,he is younger than hazard wth much room to grow so can command a high number,don't sell him off cut price there is no need,wait and see

Maybe Leroys career goes downhill after leaving us (only joking, would love him to sign the extension)

i know what you mean, but it is just as big a risk for bayern not to pay that. I've said what i think in other posts. However unlikely the german media make it seem, sane could sign a contract extension any single day once the window shuts, and bayern will know that. Imho, they won't get him for less than 100m, no point eveb trying. At 20m more, they could guarantee having him.

For clarity, i don't think he will go anywhere btw. i'm just elaborating on why i think that price to me seems fair.

He probably will recover just fine, he's not not as good as Hazard, as much as I love him, and Bayern don't pay fees like Madrid do.

Our leverage in the negotiations this summer was that he was on 65k a week and we would've be happy to just have him play out the year. Once that option was removed he's just a guy with one year left on his deal and an ACL tear (albeit an extremely talented guy). We've spend the last several windows demonstrating that we're rational in the market, so we're obviously not going to let him walk for free, and thus, become forced sellers. I don't feel 80-90m qualifies as cut price in this case

He is much younger than hazard,young and potential gets you a top fee,it doesn't matter what bayern usually pay,that is their problem,if they want him they wil have to pay what we want,i don't know what we will do but i'm sure we won't go from 135m to 80m
 
I think if City and Pep do read this snub, and that’s what this is, as many of us do, then I suspect Pep will want him gone ASAP.
He has built a team spirit and won’t want that being affected as we move forward.
