Low said in a press that Sane will be back in training in January. Which is good news. He will be ready late February and might help us win another league title or maybe the CL.

I agree with the sentiment. He he is also a player for the german national team, and it was the german national coach speaking in the context of available players for the next round of international games and tournament as a whole.

If it wasn't for the entire summer of unprofessional bayern running commentary, including by Low, it would be a perfectly normal comment. However our cynicism and frustrations are natural, given the game they all played.
 
Bayern Munich have hinted that their bid for Leroy Sane failed over wage demands. There has been a suspicion that Sane used Bayern to get a better deal out of City, or trying to sell himself to the highest bidder in terms of wages. [@StuBrennanMEN]

And the same holes in the story.

Timo Werner is a striker that mainly lives of his speed and shooting technic. A player that can be world class in a system that works with much space ahead the defense - but will get problems with deep defenses. And he does not have the dribbling or the close control for the wings - or the playing intelligence.

The thing is that Timo Werner's dream destination was Bayern - he even voiced it in an interview. But in his case Bayern were smart not to go for him.

Is it wise for us to offer him a new deal. He could be a busted flush now?

He is young and should heal if he takes his rehab seriously,even if he lost the top end of his speed he would still be a brilliant winger,i'd love to be a fly on the wall when pep,txiki and Khaldoon had a conversation about it
 
The problem with Sane last season was that he didn't kick-on from the winning goal against Liverpool.
His most effective performances were usually as a sulky, broody substitute, (Lyon H, Schalke A, United A), and when he started at Turf Moor, he was arguably the worst player on the pitch, often finding himself offside, or making the wrong run.

He's a brilliant talent, but (assuming that he heals properly, and wants to stay at City), he needs to listen and learn.

He hardly started in the last 3 months, so obviously the performances were going to be as a sub. As for sulky, broody, his interviews and social media comments indicate none of that. Clearly Pep preferred to start Sterling and Bernardo on the wings, but they were our two best players last year - so that is not necessarily an indictment of Sane. His performances for Germany were pretty top drawer also.
 
It's literally In-sane (see what I did there), we didn't have Leroy or Jesus to call upon at the weekend.

It's only when they are not there, you appreciate fully the immense quality of our squad?

I was coming around to the idea of getting £140m if Bayern were serious, but I have already started to miss what Leroy gives us.

Txiki and Pep have already laid the groundwork for when Sergio and Dave have gone.

We need to stick with Leroy and Jesus, the rest of the market needs to find £200m plus just to match that quality.

They are already City players and can deliver for so many years to come.

Same goes for Mendy, Laporte, Raheem, Stones, Bernardo, Cancelo, Foden, Eddie.

In good hands.
