Deal agreed with Bayern Munich for Leroy Sane - €60m (including add-ons)

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Good riddance

 

[King Jay]

So who’s gonna score against Liverpool in the next years ?!

 

[gorton loyal]

Totally agree, Get rid of him if he doesn't want to stay there is the Door, plenty where he came from, just use him now to our advantage

 

[Len Rum]

Bye Bye Leroy.

I doubt the club will take this approach, but if it were me, they pay us a reasonable fee (55-60 million) or he sits in the stands for a year. He's not on massive wages and we can always use Braaf instead of signing a replacement.

Let's see how keen Bayern are to pay 400k a week to someone who hasn't played a game for 2 years. They'll soon pay up the extra change.

Thank you for the trophies sane , shame he doesn’t want to stay and become a legend at city , but totally understandable him wanting to go back to Germany. No blues should slag him off !

I would not ‘slag’ him off as he is one of the most exciting players to watch ‘on his day’. That’s the issue though. I loved watching him play and grateful for his contribution. However, Raz is far the superior player, passion, work rate and always gives a 100%. I would be a lot more worried about losing Raz. Leroy is replaceable, and he has decided his future lies elsewhere. Not sure Pep ever really trusted him like he does Raz. Thanks for the memories Leroy and grateful for all you contributed, but hope we take the money this summer.

Get him out of the squad and give Braff a chance

 

[BillyShears]

Try and hold out for £50m. Use the 15% matched offer on Sancho, and that transfer only costs us £35m. We get rid of that unhappy mard arse, we get a HG player with similar potential. Makes sense to me.

Won't be Sancho (even if he would like us to sign him). His wages will be somewhere around 250k - which is simply NEVER happening at City.

My guess is it's going to be this guy.

 

[I am Irrefutable]

Sancho would be a great replacement, we could even try doing a deal involving Sane with Dortmund and bollocks to Bayern.

 

[mccity]

Well he's done very well whilst he's been here, and been an important contributor for our successes. Maybe even he can help us out through the remainder of this season, at the very least as squad depth.

Can't keep them all. Eventually someone will want to leave. Every top club has somebody eventually when you get enough high quality players over a period. Ronaldo at United, Hazard/De Bruyne at Chelsea, Sterling at Liverpool, Henry at Arsenal, Kroos at Bayern, Eto'o/Touré/Neymar at Barcelona, Kaká at AC Milan, Zidane at Juventus, Robben at Real Madrid etc..

I'm grateful. Hopefully we do better with Sané treatment wise than what Liverpool did with Sterling.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I don't hold ill will towards him, but what I will say is this: he may have more natural talent and potential than someone like Sterling, but give me Raheem's work rate, guts and mentality any day. Sane clearly didn't think he could hold down a starring role with the likes of Raz and Bernardo in his way so he's gone for the easy route. Good luck to him.

You grasp of maths is a bit sketchy mate £50m + 15% of £100m + £35m = £100m and Sancho is not worth £100m, might be in 2 or 3 years but not now, not even with HG status.

 

[NQCitizen]

Fair play to him, wish him the best in Germany. Contributed a lot while he was here.

We can't be all mad at footballers who force their way out of clubs yet still expect them to sign contracts by default.

 

[Lemon7277]

Played us like a fiddle ...a serious talent on his day but an absolute Mard arse with no fight on him,he's chose the easy option wouldn't have him anywhere near the 1st team squad

Going off that video, he seems to spend a lot of time on the right.

That's OK as Raheem spends a lot of his time on the left.

It is the easy route but you can’t really blame him. He’s going back home and is pretty much guaranteed a league title every season.

Think Leroy was similarly playing on the right at that age at Schalke although I could be wrong.

 

[Groke]

will be disappointed to see him go, fantastic when he's on his game, however, not everyone can stay forever! More pissed off that a. we won't get top dollar for him, we really should have been getting £100m+ and b. he is going to that shitehouse of a club

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

If we get some cash for him in the summer we'll probably replace him.

Probably with one of Torres, Bailey, Chukuweze, Traore or Thuram.

I'd love to see us sign Richarlison but he'd cost way too much. Maybe Son if Spurs need the money?
