I do not think we would do it openly in the press, although pretty much every significant signing we make is widely discussed in the press beforehand, but undoubtedly we will be discussing players, with agents prior to approaching the club. The way the world works and were no different.

Sorry to say that Beckenbauer did get away with it of sorts. Time ran out on his case in the courts due to the coronavirus and he was released. I read that he was seriously ill. Maybe that also had some bearing I just don't know.

Probably as ill as Ernest Saunders - remember him? Released from Her Majesty’s pleasure with dementia- only to make a full recovery.

There is one way of tapping up a player. That is by getting a paper to say that your club is interested in signing a particular player. All we have to do is say for an e.g. get someone in Germany that lives in Munich to go to these two papers 1st DE LOCAL, and the MUNICH EYE, and say have you heard that MANCHESTER CITY are interested in KINGSLEY COMAN, AND NIKLAS SULE. Every day a different person tells them the same story and what do you know it becomes the truth. Even though it maybe far from it.

So maybe we should start by playing Bayern Munich at their own game, and start unsettling some of their own players. Why not go to some of the biggest papers in Germany and release the same stories. These would be Suddeutsche Zeitung and Frankfurter Allgemeine.

Please stop shouting
 
It's amazing this thread still have 6000 more posts than the Coronavirus one, the bottom-line for me is every player has a price for every team if Sane wants to play for City great if he doesn't move him on and spend the money on someone who does, it's not really rocket science.... as for Bayern Munich they can f@@K O@@ they are a classless entitled club that deserve no respect whatsoever.
 
Bayern remain determined to sign Sane and want to spend between 52 and 60 million pound for him

Fucking parasites they are. Imagine our open courting of a player like they have done. We’d be banned from Europe for 5 years and demoted to the evo stick league 2 conference north division 3.

Speed doesn't go after a cruciate. The big upper leg muscles getting injured would. He could have hamstring issues though because if his speed, but I doubt it. He's incredibly athletic

I might be wrong, as i thought Mendy had a cruciate injury, and he seems to have lost speed and has broken down a few times.

Put it another way, if we were signing a player for a record fee I am not sure would be gambling on one who had been out for a season.

Speed isn't an issue, its confidence in stopping and changing direction that's an issue. If the support around the knee isn't good it can lead to upper leg injuries. I kept doing my hammy after doing my cruciate, took about 6/7 hard months of balance and leg work even after I got the all clear before I felt 100% confident to go full clip on a pitch.

A lot of that is mitigated at top level as they are monitored constantly and tailored for 100% recovery.

Mendy is a sick note

If that is a slur on a professional footballer who suffers injuries then it is a disgrace.

Was Vincent Kompany a sick note in your eyes.
Don't bother with a reply
 
In the current economic climate with covid going on and Leroy having only a year left, £60-65m would be ok imo. Profit on what we paid and better than getting nothing in a world that will take time to recover?

I'm playing devil's advocate here, but if we've been trying to sign him up to a new deal for as long as has been reported shouldn't we have figured out long ago that he wanted to leave? Certainly by the time his agents started talking to Bayern Munich? At some point him saying the words "I want out" isn't actually necessary.

Because it could be bluff, to extract most from City. Thats why the club cant be 100%, thus the player needs to tell the board.

I mean how fucking hard is it to tell the board anyway even if its fairly obvious. At least then nothing will be unclear and business will be done smoothly instead of this weird mess. There is no downside to it. He would have also avoided his injury as well, he had all summer long to say "i want to leave" to the board and then again in January. This all started in May 2019.

Pep said that he never asked to leave for some reason

Leroy and his camp have handled this remarkably poorly, no question.
