I have always believed that if a player doesn't want to play for City then we should let them go as soon as possible. It doesn't matter how good they are it is the best course of action for team morale to release them. I am sure Pep believes this as well. There is no point wasting energy on people like Sancho or Sane. I am not bitter about it.
It's a free world (mostly) and people can decide to move jobs for all sorts of reasons...money, family, a new challenge etc. Unlike many fans I have no strong feelings about James Milner for example. The club is always bigger than any individual player. We need to move on from this saga.

I always worried that Sancho was going to ride the media hate City wave, to further his career. Credit to the lad for resisting the temptation But with Sane i have no problems with him leaving or staying, but he has let the fans down, there is/was nothing to be gained by not informing us of his decision, especially when he went out injured.
There are a number of options for City let rot in the reserves and lose around £ 40 million, swap, or sell for a reduced price due to corona virus, Pep has always said he does not want an unhappy player but City are still in the CL and Sane is an important part of that team who ever we sell/swap we want to loan him back until the end of this seasons CL

I agree with most of this but I have always felt that the minute a player shows indecision or lack of commitment any club should just sell. Nine times out of ten when a player starts sitting on the fence there is only one outcome. Pep has repeatedly said he only wants players who are 100 per cent in their desire to play for him.
I actually don't hold it against Sane. His German family roots must be a strong pull, especially with this crisis. I just think clubs sometimes have to make tough and prompt business decisions, whatever the backlash from fans.

You see this is what i mean, i do believe we the fans and Pep would have supported Sane regardless of his choice, we would have parted with a thanks for the memories, but he has allowed Bayern to goad us and treat us as an inferior, leading us down a garden path he could have stopped at anytime is disappointing and has soured his departure.
 
Only a fool now believes the snidey little shit is staying. He's already gone, we've lost to Bayern.

Fucks me right off.

Snidey shit? Get a grip of yourself. The lad has been brilliant for us and gave us many a wonderful memory and was an integral part of probably the best team in our history.

Rightly or wrongly Pep played him a lot less the season after, his contract is nearly up and he has the chance to return home, guaranteed silverware with the biggest club in Germany. He does not owe us anything and like players we are happy to jettison he also has the right to make the decision to move on.

Would love him to stay, as he is incredible to watch but if he decides to move on, will wish him all the best.

It's not is it, you know that, but he's gone, he was gone a long time ago, Bayern have done us, and we've let it happen.

May god strike me down if its not true.

Bayern haven't done us. Sane will have done us.

We offered him new terms almost two years ago.

His inclination then was to leave.

It could be Barca, Real Madrid or Juventus.

The fact he is going back to Germany should tell us who has been the driver in all this.

And it ain't Bayern - who never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Leroy has treated City with absolute disrespect.

A petulant liar.

And that's from someone who thinks he is an incredible player.

Oh come on. Whilst I agree that Sane was a willing participant in this dance it was still a dance, that needed two parties, and Bayern have played a blinder, regular quotes in the German press prompted by their own hand picked shills.

Both of em smell of cowshit.

It was eluded to last year by Pep. We had a deal and then we didn't.

Hence some of the leaks his mum had got involved. Subsequently, he has changed agents twice in six months.

We gave him some breathing space when he had his first child.

I do believe his mindset started to change when Germany sent him home prior to the World Cup.

Any any stage, we have heard zero from him about City and their help in his recovery.

The writing was on the wall when he rejected Dr Cugat in Barcelona for the German team doctor in Austria.

A complete slap in the face for our methods and duty of care.

Everything in this saga has suggested that Sane has set his mind on leaving, and many like myself ( I think ) suspected that it was a bit of " dummy spitting " because Pep played him less last season. His body language wasn't always great when coming on as a sub either.

I had assumed that maybe his attitude/ application etc was not up to scratch and that he was sulking or perhaps believing that he so talented that he deserved better recognition , and thus was sticking two fingers up to Pep.

Obviously him refusing to use Dr Cugat was another snub and a " fuck you " to the professional opinions of both Pep and the club.

I would love a fully committed Sane to sign a contract and stay, but if he wants to go then I hope we can get a decent amount for him and get him out of the club asap.

If we dont get least £60m then keep the fucker even knowing he wants out.

Current climate & last year 60m is probably a good bit of cash but if Bayern are going to play the same games as Sane then fuck them both

Make him wait
