They aren't, it just highlights how corrupt the DFB is, that they'd be willing to do Munichs dirty work by leaving out a player who's had a good season in a far more competitive league.

Also, if Leroy is happy to go back and play in a team that beats pub teams 6-0 thirty weeks a year then he's never going to kick on to the next level
This conspiracy theory is beyond belief hahaha. Leroy Sane was left out because he wasn't compatible with the rest of the squad. He showed that in matches preceding the selection process. Him playing alongside some German NT players would only help him build up chemistry.

Also, funnily enough, Bayern scored the most goals this season (7) against Tottenham...
 
Lmao, did you guys ever consider that without leroys consent you cannot transfer him anywhere else? And thanks to corona, I am pretty sure that no other club is currently able to offer him the same as Bayern does. Chapters closed, get over it guys
His agent would differ with you on that point.......He has stated that they are interested in looking at their options..... City also have the option of taking the hit with a free move next year which might well be the way they go seeing at transfers this summer might simply not be practical(and I mean from a replacing him standpoint)
 
Ah, well, you know, agents... I take their claims with a pinch of salt. Their interest is in pocketing money themselves, and they're ready to lie through their teeth to get their way. There simply isn't a better club than Bayern for Leroy to boost himself for EURO 2020 whilst being guaranteed a place at a club in with a decent shot of winning the Champions League. Unless some other club comes along and offers Leroy some crazy money, which is all the more implausible due to the current pandemic, I can't see him seriously considering elsewhere.

My prediction is that City and Bayern will agree on a fee around 48m euros for what would be Bayern's second highest transfer.
I think we will agree a fee with Bayern this summer, but think it will be higher than €48m.
 
48m euros unless the market has totally collapsed he will need to see out his contract, as for it being Bayern's second highest transfer, honestly who gives a fuck......it's also more than Darlington have ever paid for a player too.

You actually are also forgetting that City have this European ban hanging over them, until that's resolved the club will be paying premium for replacements, this transfer will drag on all summer and won't be resolved (if it is) right at the death, whenever that might be.

As I see it there is no goodwill between the clubs or between the player and City so it's not in the clubs interest for this to be concluded quickly.... The ONLY people that benefit are Bayern and ironically from a "fair play" angle taking the loss 12months from now might be better than getting cash now.
I get that European ban hanging over City, but how would that help the cause if he would instead move on a free in summer 2021?

Will he suddenly be compatible having played with Bayern for a bit whenever Euro 2020 takes place?

How many of the German National team start every week, outfield for Bayern?

Davis, Alcantara, Coutinho, Alaba are all currently down the left, with Lewandowski up top. He'll develop great chemistry with his national team wont he.

What absolute bullshit.

You are getting tiresome

This Chemistry you speak of... is that the Bayern drug injected into every level of German football to ensure subservience. Bayern snap their fingers and any club mounting a realistic challenge to their dominance is pillaged and returns to the middle of the pack. Bayern run all levels of German football and only when Sane joins the clique and conforms to Bayern’s rules will he be an established NT player... what a pathetic state of affairs and what an apology of a domestic competition the Bundesliga really is. If Sane thinks moving to Munich is a step forward - good luck to him... personally I think he may as well join Celtic.

Gnabry?
Kimmich?
Suele once he's back from injury?
Also Goretzka, despite that he doesn't start every week, but would still be training with him on a daily basis.

And that's assuming Loew doesn't make a U-turn with Thomas Mueller.

If the ban is upheld they won't be subject to FFP next season and the value can be written off as a loss for the following three seasons, ironically it's in Bayern's interest they don't get banned!

Did you see the way Leroy Sane played for the NT before World Cup 2018? I bet not. Loew doesn't fully base his selections on how well players are doing for their club, but there's other factors involved and Leroy was given a chance to show he deserved his place at the World Cup, and he performed poorly. It wasn't some vendetta or any other conspiracy theory you're coming up with.

He would be training with Gundogan every day at City. Funny, being in England hasn't hindered Gundo getting in the German squads. He isn't a target for Bayern though, is he?

Also, he gets booed regularly by ze Germans. Why's that?

Are you German?

Guendogan gets booed for political reasons. It was quite silly for him to post a photo with Erdogan and referring to him as "MY president", while wanting to wear the German shirt.

The fact Guendogan got selected for Germany while Leroy wasn't shows you there isn't some magical bias because a player plays outside of Bayern/Germany. Toni Kroos didn't have any problems either. Leroy wasn't selected because he was not a good fit in terms of chemistry and the tactics that Loew employed. Post WC2018, Loew changed the tactics around to something that suited Sane much more, an attacking trio of Sane, Gnabry and Werner, and that worked out well. Moving to Bayern would help Sane continue building up chemistry with his attacking partner Gnabry.

No, I don't wear socks under sandals.

If you mean Gundo gets booed, I'd suspect because of his Turkish heritage. Same as many don't take to Ozil.

It's not racist, even though that's the card Oezil played. Germany have had a number of players of foreign heritage. Off the top of my head I remember Asamoah, Cacau, Klose, Podolski, Trochowski, Boateng, Gnabry...

They got booed for sucking up to a Turkish dictator.

German authorities don't approve the booing, but fans will be fans.
 
I'm not sure about that. Should City get banned, Leroy would push even more for a move.

I love how you look at things(funny you aren't a Bayern supporter because you only see what you want to see)..... I assume you would agree that should someone that would be deemed a regular starter all things being equal leaves an established club, the club would look to replace them?

Assuming you agree with that statement, if City are banned from Europe would you think that makes it easier or harder to sign a replacement? Further to that if you are a prospective player wouldn't you be worried that as you move in a bunch of stars are leaving(not least Sane!)

Sane is contracted for a further twelve months(half the European ban), covid 19(hopefully! will have run its course/or at least is now manageable), making a move to England and City more attractive and by then players should have a good idea how much damage had been done to the player-base at the club.

For me this might well be a perfect storm for a player having to run his contract out

I didnt say it was a magical bias. It was a calculated move by the dfb/bayern to leave leroy out. He was after having a fantastic season, bayern were interested. If Bayern were interested in Gundo, he wouldn't have been picked

I see your point better now even though I don't quite agree with everything. I think Leroy is almost definitely gone, either this summer or the next. So from a business perspective, if you assume him as a loss, you may as well get as much money for him as you can. If the ban doesn't happen, you have to get a replacement anyway sooner or later, and it's better from an FFP perspective if you cash in some 50m.

If the ban happens, then you buy a replacement this summer, someone young and promising and you've avoided further FFP punishments, and the replacement would have grown into the team by the time you're back in the CL.

I agree that Sane will leave the timing of it is still the point in question. In terms of buying a young promising player..... How young and promising, if you are such wouldn't you either be at a club playing European football or wanting to move to one that is, on top of that City don't have a great record of bringing that type of player through over the last 10 years(wish they did). The FFP point is irrelevant if they aren't in Europe it doesn't matter so getting 50m in the first year of their ban doesn't help(that's not to say not having 50m euros is better!)

But I think you are starting to see the larger picture..... in many respects its all about the ban and the timing of the transfer, assuming Bayern don't blow City out of the water with a really solid offer, which I think most would agree is unlikely! will at the end of the day play a key role in it.

Your conspiracy theory continues to grow. Bayern were not interested in getting Leroy Sane in summer 2018. There's zero rumours and no interviews by Bayern personnel around that time either. Playing for Bayern or Manchester City doesn't entitle one to play for the German NT.

Loew has his own way of choosing players. I didn't see you complaining when he inexplicably told Mueller, Hummels (and Boateng to some extent) that they would not feature in his selections anymore.
