Just glad Peps put a lid on it before the inevitable crap questions start in the CL press conferences, it’s all a bit “it’s not you it’s me” kinda break up, the lads done some great things for the shirt but when challenged by Pep to go to the next level he faltered...you only have to look at the way Raz has grown as a player & more, that could of been him. We go again, plenty of classy players out there who’d love to wear the shirt. As an aside, the potential fee will be double our record received, Kelechi ? Which means we’ve hung on to our great players of this generation (Leeds sold Daffy Duck for 30mil in 2002!) more of the same in the next 10 years please

always on the cards, he is a prick, said it 18 months ago. To much like Sturridge and actually not as good as he thinks. He was a great super sub but wasn't good enough to be a starter. Its a shame we wont see if he could have been a good 'un but take the 50 mill.

Haha you don't think he's good enough to be a starter for Bayern either ?
If he's as shite as you reckon why are one of Europe's top club's doing everything they can to get him ?

Get. Fucking. Rid.

Personally I'd take whatever we can get once the season ends and send him on his way. Absolutely ZERO interest in keeping hold of him, even to try and make some petty point to Bayern.

I would much rather have a player who the manager trusts and who wants to be at the club.

Yep he should be nowhere near our first team be surprised now if he plays Pep doesn’t like a player not committed to his team. Also Sane knowing he is off if he does play why would he put 100% in he won’t want another injury before going home to the real Corrupt club.
 
Fuck him off now.

As has already been said, even if we get fuck all for him we've had our monies worth. Can't understand why people talk about his potential and him being a world beater. At 24 years of age he should have shown more by now than he has.

As for signing Sancho, no thanks. Why replace a player who won't sign a contract with City with another player who wouldn't sign a contract with City

I know how this goes and it's already started on Twitter. People obsessing about the fee and crying about what City are losing.

We paid 35/40 million for him and we kept him for 3 years in which time he contributed to two very big seasons and a huge goal against Liverpool last season.

We've gotten our money's worth. Nobody should give one shiny fuck how much money we get for him. The only consideration is who comes in next.

Yep in that time he has been on around 60k a week so we got our money worth out of him get our money back then that be fine by me.

I would not play him for the rest of the season now
Basically if Munich don’t stump up the cash he spends a year waiting for them
In that year he could get another injury in which case he has no contract or games
We all know they will up the bid and get him
It’s a huge risk for all parties though

I don’t think there is any risk to us here at all. We’re not strapped for cash and don’t need to sell in order to buy players.

At the moment the fee being banded about by Bayern is derisory. You couldn’t even sign a good winger in today’s market for what they are offering.

The risk is all on Sane and Bayern. There is no player in the world as good as Sane who you could get for £50 million. Their posturing makes no sense at all.

IMO, City making this public now takes us out of the relationship triangle. If Bayern don’t pay up, they’re the bad guys now.
 
He's fucking brilliant when he's on, but i think the space we make for him sometimes affords him to be even better than he is. Not seen enough of Bayern but i assume in the Bundesliga he will tear most of the teams a new arsehole, be the main superstar in the team and a complete poster boy in Germany for Bayern. It's obviously all he's ever wanted, seen as he has a massive fucking tattoo of himself on his own back.

Think there are some interesting players out there to replace, maybe not many direct like-for-like replacements though.
 
Yes the Bundesligas not much of a challenge but their objective is the CL and he'll help with that.
 
Bayern are a very nasty club by the way. Apparently they are having some problems with PSG , they tapped up Kouassi, so the parisians told the Germans that if they wanted Kouassi then they had to offer Hernandez for a fair price....... well the Germans told them to pay 75m euros for Hernandez while at this same time expecting to get Kouassi for free! The nerve on these ones! fucking madness!

Because Sancho wanted game time. Leaving City is the best thing he will ever have done. Now is the time to bring him back.

Let's not slag off the kid,we achieved a lot and he was a big part of it

He has chance to be a big name in his own county

Also don't underestimate the pressure he is getting from Lowe to get into the team for the euro's

Biggest mistake we have made in years losing him

How can it be a mistake if there’s nothing we can do about a desire to move home?
