If we don’t replace Sané directly we’re still going to need a forward, whether Jesus plays more on the left we still need another player to rotate with Aguero. It looks like Lautaro Martinez is off to Barca so he won’t be the one.

We have Aguero, Jesus, Sterling, Bernardo, Mahrez and Foden for 3 positions.

I'd argue that we already have one too many to keep happy since signing Mahrez and that we don't need another one, though I would argue we have a horrible imbalance of players that are best on the right.

If we actually give him a shot next season, Jayden Braff is a LW and could save us a lot of money.

We have more pressing issues to deal with in my view and I think we'll wait and go big next year when Aguero leaves.

Partly, yes. This has been a coordinated effort with plenty of characters behind the scenes.

They said Leroy's head also wasn't in the right place because his partner was pregnant, it wasn't that. Remember all that advice Leroy suddenly started getting in the public domain from Bayern players about a period of reflection?

Bayern were succession planning for it - to suggest moves only transpired after Robben and Ribery suddenly became injury prone is hilarious.

The pair had been injury prone their entire careers!!

The reality is a little more simple. They had wingers coming to the end of the road and Bayern decided Sane was one of the players they wanted.

Did it with Gotze at Dortmund, two years out.

Nobody said Robbery became injury prone, I said Coman. The rest of your post is all conspiracy theory and make-belief.

Yeah imo we should give Braaf a shot. He could turn out to be like Sancho. We shouldn’t do the next mistake. And it would also give our academy players more hope to get into the First Team.

Yes, thought similar Jesus capable of playing on the left too as we saw in Madrid. Especially if we buy Aouar to replace Silva. Expect Aouar to be Sane replacement in the squad.
Maybe if fit Mendy overlapping for width. Never seen Braaf but if he can offer something different on the left too probably don’t need a Sane like replacement.

Yep, of course they are. Remind me again who is Bayern's team doctor and also the national team doctor?

You are deflecting. I stated City offered Sane a new deal before the World Cup in 2018 - a full year before you claimed Bayern showed any interest.

The only thing far-fetched about your assertions is that Bayern suddenly decided last summer that Sane was the player they wanted.

He was being represented by his parents and they went straight to them in 2018, prompting City to offer him a new deal.

Wait, so you're claiming inside knowledge into interest that the media never picked up on, and you're claiming that somehow Bayern bullied Loew into sabotaging his World Cup chances to supposedly teach a lesson to a player they wanted. And now he wants to move to Bayern only because otherwise he can't play for the NT because somehow Bayern have Loew by the balls, the same coach who shocked the nation by dropping 3 key German Bayern players from the NT Post World Cup.

All this extremist stuff because you refuse to believe that Sane played poorly for the NT prior to World Cup 2018. In fact IIRC he had neither scored nor assisted once. He was nowhere near showing the same performances as he was for City.

Julian Brandt, selected before him, had the grand total of one goal, scored against the mighty san Marino.

Julian Brandt was showing good chemistry, and in fact he wasn't bad at the World Cup. Anyway, Loew's selections have often raised eyebrows. How does one justify selecting Robin Koch and Niklas Stark, or Emre Can out of position as CD, just so as not to play Hummels who was awarded the best defender only like a couple of months earlier? Heck, even Boateng deserved to be called instead.

You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round

Bayern and the German NT are almost at war not helping each other out. There were even threats by Bayern to not release German players for the NT anymore. You go to Germany and say this theory, people would just stare open mouthed, or laugh. It's just as farfetched as a claim that the Sheikh is actually extraterrestrial.

Why do you have ManCity in your name?

It’s a FIFA regulation
“Currently, under FIFA and FA transfer rules, if a club wants to procure the services of a player registered with another club, they must speak directly with that club and not to the player or his representatives. The player and his representatives will only be brought in for discussions with the potential purchasing club once the two clubs have agreed a fee”

BTW Were you at York away?

No but he was at Bayern away

Yes, in 2016. Sane moved to Manchester City because of Pep Guardiola. His dad said he would have moved to Bayern if Pep was still there. But that's a whole different story to what happened in summer 2018 vis-a-vis Bayern and Sane, i.e. exactly nothing.
