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

[cleavers]

That’s why we are generating so much fucking revenue. We aren’t a rich club in terms of the fan base, we don’t generate as much match day revenue as most of the other big clubs, yet we generate income at top 5 in the world levels. That will be due to operational weakness

Stop talking sense there.

 

[FJRMCFC]

Bollocks. He isn’t worth 385k a week

I’m saying we should’ve sold him as soon as he rejected multiple contract offers. Playing him in the Community Shield was insanity

 

[moomba]

we can be successful on the field and still have a weakness in the football operations.

The football operations people spotted Sane and Sancho in the first place.

We made a profit on both.

 

[cptaidan88]

385k a week why he didn’t sign a new improve contract at ours!

That was probably offered to him 2 years ago when we offered our deal.

Tapped up by a disgusting arrogant club.

Tapping up is common place, every club including City does it.

Its the public comments made by club officials I imagine the club will take issue with.

 

[abu13]

I have said for a while, not arsed at all about this.

Suffered a bad injury last year and there are no guarantees that he will retain his pace.
Our style of play has changed where we rarely rely on counter attacks, as such we need a different type of player.
We were never going to allow him to sit on the bench for the next 12 months and lose him for nothing.
We don't need an unhappy player in the dressing room.
Gives us a chance to buy a player who will be a regular starter.
Never appeared to fully buy in to Pep's thinking, hence Pep's frustrations with him.
Would be stupid to try and compete if the wages at Bayen are anywhere near true.

Could we have risked playing him and him breaking down again?

We will move on, thanks for the memories but should have developed into a better player than he has to date.

A 'large part' of the €11 million in add-ons for Leroy Sane would come from Bundesliga and Champions League wins with Bayern Munich - the rest are performance-related awards. [

Not a chance in hell we offered him anywhere that, it's about 50% more than KdB gets, the rumour was we offered him double what he was on, and it was less than £100k ?

 

[OrkneyBlue]

Shame he’s leaving. Thanks for some great memories

 

[waspish]

The amount of none City supporters on here spouting bile is predictable

 

[Roachy]

Those who want to lament his departure, fill your boots, just remember he didn't want to be here. Personally I'd rather spend my time looking forward to the future.

No one had put in a bid for him.

How many games should we rest a player waiting for Munich to decide to put money on the table?

this is the thing and city must be not held to ransom with any player ? the way for is getting written clauses in contracts so players can not be tapped up and be sold on the cheap ? did sane and his team (agent) know this to fucking right ? did munich know this to fucking right they did, both sane and munich have took the piss out of city here, its clear sane been tapped up and reported wages sane is getting smells it stinks

i can bet anybody munich have sane new deal tide up and has clauses in the deal. i bet its around the £ 200million mark if anybody wants to talk in the next 2 or 3 seasons and that is city loss

And we have sell on % fees on both if they move on again, which they will imo.

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

He fee isn't a disaster considering his contract situation and a season long injury. At least we now how much we have to play with now.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

He was offered big money to stay at City long before his contract expired.

Time ev

i run two businesses buddy, we’re doing so well because of churn. Selling 50 players at small profits. We messed up 50 mil here on one.

give over ?? its pure greed and double the wages and if city matched the offer you bet he stays and loves manchester city

[Coatigan]

Given Bayern spent all of last summer adamantly claoming they wouldn't pay more than 70m for him, pre-injury and with 2 years left on his contract, don't think we can complain a out 50m in the circumstances. I'd have thought the club would want hom available for the champions league, but maybe thats what clinched it and got bayern to agree to the price

 

[shemnel]

See ya

Not having Sane/Sancho wingers is just a wistful what could have been, move on.

 

[waspish]

These journos don’t half spout some shite...Absolute no way are they paying him that sort of money.

So 500k week that Sanchez been on since at the scum of 380k a week for sane hmmmm.
