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

[Chi-town blues]

Has he fucked off ?

 

[bennyboy]

Shame as he is a good player. Losing him and Silva in one window is a pain and if we get a CL ban, it wont be good.

If we get a ban it will be no good.
Nothing to do with David and Leroy though.

The bigger issue now is that in the space of 3-4 years we’ve lost 2 world class game changers in Sancho and Sane. They both wanted to leave under Pep.
They cost £37 million between them and the sales figures are a pittance compared to the pre COVID market price of £250 million combined.
I love Pep but we can’t keep in losing talents like this

It is small club mentality to think you can not replace a good player and still improve

 

[Tevez City]

Thank you for once and for all confirming you don't know a thing about football.

I hope you are right, and Sterling will have better seasons than Leroy in the coming years.

What about winning doubles and quadruples? You win some you lose some I know what I rather lose

Sane > Sterling

I must have forgotten those 20 goal seasons from Sané.

I must have been too busy watching him huff and pout when he wasn't passed the ball.

The solution is simple - we get someone better - who doesn't sulk!

 

[Nellies left peg]

No surprise here. Personally I moved on from him a long time back. He is a sulker, thinks he is too good to ever sit on the bench and wants to be a flat track bully in a pub league. Fair enough, it happens. So much talent, so little character.

Reminds me of Jerome Boateng similar traits

 

[Nellies left peg]

He could be outstanding and had a great spell for a time but also had games when he was disappointing. Sorry to see him go as he is definitely an asset but I don’t think it’s the end of the world.
It will be interesting to watch the rest of his career and see how it goes. Hopefully the injury won’t have lost him half a yard of pace.

Hopefully it will

well you know that Kouassi can leave for free? Bayern doesn‘t need to negotiate with PSG or did I miss something? Don‘t know wha‘s wrong with that. His contract is up - it‘s the fault of PSG not trying harder or giving him better options.

Beside that it‘s quite funny that people are mad that Sané leaves. He is too good to sit on the bench. When he came on he played good and still didn‘t start. Imagine selling Sané to operate with Mahrez.

Well this is something I agree with, can't argue with you here. Playing Mahrez over Sane on both UCL games against Spurs plus Sane losing his spot in the national team as a result of the inconsistency in team selection got us here. These are professional athletes, when a player is in top form, you play him!!! Leroy has been the only one to show some fight whenever we go to Klanfield, he is that type of player a big game player, I am not sure how anyone can preferring Mahrez to Sane! People say Sane doesnt track back but Mahrez is even worse, doesnt track back, hugs the ball for too long, isn't fast enough to be a winger, isn't creative enough to play behind the attacker. I just don't get it!!!

Thank God that Pep ditched Yaya for Busquets.

Think the club have acted spot on as always in this situation, no blame there at all, contract offers have been made (decent ones by all accounts) and the player has been challenged by the management but allowed his head/performances to drop. We’ve sent a strong message out to any potential dissenters of the future and created a winning environment where hard work is rewarded, you only have to read the Mahrez comments. I’m a big fan of Leroy’s and would of loved to see him develop in a more central role in time, but now find myself in the camp of not giving him any playing time, that has to be earned, how could you pick him ahead of even an academy player?

 

[Mezrah]

Imagine if there was a Player out there for us.. didn't sulk.. instantly picked himself up and went out there for the ball back and did his thing!

 

[Fordyboy46]

Pay up Bayern you fucking twats, and please City don't cave in to a shit offer. We should be looking at no less than 60m, but who knows what this virus has done to players values, we could quite easily only get 35m for him, who bloody knows.

You said your point & I said mine.

There is no point to keep arguing, Sterling is useful player but imo Leroy is much better and time will tell who is really better.

Just wait for next season, I will be glad to be wrong.

Might limit what we can spend to replace them though, if we decide to. I still think Sane will become a top player.

If Braaf continues to develop at such a rate he could be Sane's replacement.

 

[blueinsa]

Year to go, player wants out and more importantly, Pep now wants rid.

Amortization will factor and if we get around £45/£50M i think we would be happy with that as it will show a decent enough profit on the player over his contract.

No way do we let him run it down for nothing imo simply because Pep will not want him around the dressing room.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Not sure how you can be annoyed with City? Improved terms have been on the table for a long time, he's wanted out for a while.

I think the poster was referring to City not complaining about the tactics employed by Buyern with their blatant tapping up .

But tbh UEFA would do fuck all as BM are one of their favoured cult clubs.
