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

[City Raider]

No one’s questioning his ability. It’s what he does when we don’t have the ball thats the issue. That’s where comparisons with Sterling collapse and why his game time dropped. He either didn’t get it or didn’t want to get it.

It’ll be who blinks first as he won’t want to go over 2 years without playing regularly so we do have some bargaining power.

As long as Pep is manager, the impact will be minimal. If Pep goes sooner than we’d like he could become a bigger miss.

 

[Dazzle84]

No hard feelings from me, he's not first choice for us. Maybe he should be, but he hasn't been. let him go, we won't be much weaker

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Let’s not act like the fucking dippers. Magnificent player, big loss. But we move on, good luck in Germany Leroy, thanks for the memories. Cash in, the mighty blues never give in

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Fuck him, if he doesn’t want to be here, fuck him.

So, what you saying?

 

[kinky's boots]

I knew as soon as he altered his tatt :(

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Leroy pulled on a City shirt and positively contributed to our recent success. Can't fault that of him.

He's clearly had his head turned (possibly illegally approached) by the German Rag's, and his made his choice. We can't really begrudge him anything. It's Bayern who are the bad guys in all this, not Leroy. He owes us nothing.

My thoughts exactly.

On his day he's fantastic and I always thought we had another Ronaldo in the making but those days were few and far between.
That's why his name was never first on Peps teamsheet which I should imagine is the real reason he is leaving.

He's young and he has all the ability to go on and fulfill his potential, it's just a shame he doesn't believe in Pep and it won't be with us if he does.

I wish him no malice though and hope we get a good price for him.

 

[razinho]

If this is the case then we shouldn't give him another minute in our shirt, cracking player but never really seemed to push on... massive shame as he will become an incredible player but if he doesn't want to play with us then someone should take his place instead.

 

[WNRH]

Good luck to the lad.

Probably the first big player we will have sold in the post 2008 era.

The usual “no loyalty” shite from football fans again. He’s signed a contract and has honoured it, what do you want him to do? Add an eagle and three stars tattoo to his back?

 

[Bluekiwi]

Sorry that he is leaving. He made some great contributions. Any ideas who could replace him?

 

[ManCitizens.]

its a hard wait and now sane coming out and wants a move to munich its all bad news for city and its fans. all because munich are the leading voice in the FFP and want city punished and now this wanting sane on the cheap leaves city in a bad place. the only way city can turn the feeling around is winning the case and we can start to look forward to a big summer and new signings

but am not holding any hopes on winning the case or sane staying ? its looking like a right kick in the balls for the city fans. this is the first time in ten years that city will find it hard to fight back and lift the fans if we lose the case ? the whole club will be left looking and facing a bleak future

A bleak future? Are you for real?

Regarding Sane, have you been living under a rock? Everybody has known he’s leaving since last summer, Peps presser was blatantly us telling Bayern to pay up or shut up and take him in 14 months if not.

 

[Bill Walker]

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

Why would Sancho want to come back here ? He's advised others to leave.
And he's seen Sane constantly on the bench.
He wouldn't want that. Besides City don't pay fees of 100 million.
No chance he's coming here.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Well that was a post...

 

[Keeper!]

Incredible article on the Mirror website, claiming we are about to have a mass exodus of players.

Sane, as people have already said, the first player to want to leave the club by choice in over 10 years and because Gundogan has said at the end of his career he would like to return to Turkey to finish his playing career.

That's the Mirror's idea of a mass exodus!!

I think by mass what they're saying is they believe Gundogan is fat.

 

[mccity]

I wouldn't be surprised if the club use the way Arsenal handled the sale of Sanchez in his final year as a precedent for this.

Kudo's for being the bigger man, but personally I can't bring myself to wish him good luck with the german rags. In fact, I'd have a wry old smile if he struggled to get first team action with the wankers.

 

[bluemoon32]

A shame he's leaving but good luck to him, i'm more annoyed that Bayern Munich will probably get him for peanuts after pulling our trousers down

 

[eastmanc]

So, what you saying?

I was a bit pissed when I wrote that. He will be remembered fondly by us fans, despite what has gone on over the last year, because he was a member of the great side Pep has put together. Just a bit disappointed that he didn’t want to stay with us.

 

[super_city_si]

I love watching sane play. He’s one of those players who gets you off your seat. He has the potential to be a great. I’m not sure he’ll fulfill it though. Good luck.
