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

[WestGorton]

He wants his natural place. Unless they play at home they struggle. Still a very naturalistic country.

National

I thought Toure was irreplaceable.

He wasn't.

No City player is irreplaceable. With good scouting we'll ensure that even though we lose some things, they can be gained back elsewhere.

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.

If you run your 2 businesses operationally as well as City do then I am sure you are doing very well

 

[kaz7]

We don't have to guess.

Pep said Sané never spoke to him all last summer. He never told the club he wanted to leave.

Back to tattoo's,people who are serious about them plan and design them,it is like the skin is a picture book of things that happen in life,all mine have special meanigs,even one at my darkest time,it is not about anyone else so to take offence is stupid

It is not vain,it is a special memory


The tattoo caused an unwanted debate for the player at the time as the shirt on the picture originally seemed to carry a Manchester City badge – but was subsequently changed to a nondescript top.

Sane says he did not want it to depict him playing for City or for Germany, and that he chose that goal celebration because it was typical - and also his first goal for the Blues in the Champions League.

Yes, done. Go check out fees for other players with his abilities and stats coming into their prime.

Have a look at “context” in the dictionary, you silly little boy.

 

[moomba]

?? your 100% on that ? don't think it is. clubs have to protect themselves on any player moving on the cheap because a buying club will know they could just buy out the contract

A big buyout isn't great for a player. Unless they're getting some sort of compensation (cut of the fee, higher wages etc) it doesn't make a lot of sense for them to agree to it.

Karen, nothing you ever say will convince me anyone other than an egomaniac is covering half his body with a picture of himself.

 

[Pete1986]

At least we didnt pay his 100k a week wages for the past year whilst he sat on the treatment table.

Looked miserable as sin when he came on last week, after best part of a year out.

 

[jay_mcfc]

Oh you slay me.

I know the context. The context was brought on totally by ourselves when we paid Raz 350k and offered Sané 180k. For that we've lost an unbelievable talent for half of what he's worth.

 

[kaz7]

We don't have to guess.

Pep said Sané never spoke to him all last summer. He never told the club he wanted to leave.

That's straight out of the managers mouth.

Maybe he was weighing up options whilst becoming a dad and maybe other things,it is just a job to them,like any other,they will always put family first,i don't know why fans don't get that ,vinny decided to take an opportunity back at home ,why is he not getting shit

47m with a possible of 11m add ons - thats a great deal for a player who clearly hasnt wanted to be here for at least 12 months (possibly more) and that hasnt shown any commitment to the club.

Bayern are ugly operators and a horrible club and they are welcome to each other. He will ease through every season playing in a one sided league which shows his level of ambition and the reason why he failed to nail down a starting spot in our squad whereas a local 20 year old and a much maligned player in Sterling who has suffered attack after attack by oppostion fans and the media (orchestrated by another horrible club) have succeeded - it says everything about his character.

Hopefully we come up against him in the champs league - very few players get poor receptions when they leave us and return -but I hope he gets a bad one. And then Walker can kick him into the stands as well.

See ya Leroy - dont let the door hit you on the way out and thanks for the profit!

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

In the early days when we used to sign players the media always used to include the salary , i think Robinho was the first £30m and £250k a week , so the headline was City sign Robinho for £90m , well the German Rags have just bought Sane for £155m , but in fairness that is'nt dear when you look at players like Pogshite,Sanchez,Pepe, and many other failures
The German Rags have got a player approaching his prime who has halved in value in 12 months , Rumenigge will be lighting another big fat Cuban and laughing his bollocks off and at least Sane can now guarantee his next ten title medals.

To reply to your edits - It's incredibly vain to tattoo yourself on yourself, and also, don't pretend like he was serious about it or planned it.

Anyone who has seen the awful quality of that tattoo knows he didn't spend time on planning it. He didn't take the time to find a great tattoo artist who specialises in drawing people.

This is a guy worth millions, he could have gotten a proper tattoo artist who wouldn't have given him a twiglet for a leg and a face so bad you'd be forgiven for not recognising him.

He should have given Otamendi's tattoo artist a call. His tattoos might be unusual, but at least they look like the people they are.

Man City reserve sold for £58m.
Not bad business I’d say.

 

[wattle]

Karen, nothing you ever say will convince me anyone other than an egomaniac is covering half his body with a picture of himself.

Agreed. I've designed over a thousand tattoo designs for people and NEVER once has someone asked for a picture of them self. It's very odd behaviour

 

[kaz7]

Fantastic deal for Bayern imo.

That Alphonso Davies/Sane left side is truly scary in terms of speed.

Awful price for City, but thats how it is.

We couldnt even buy a mediocre CB for this price lets be honest. And we need a world class CB so imagine what he would cost even 1 year on his contract only. Not 35m like Sane went for...

Can't you even get the numbers right

Wum central in here,i am out

 

[City Raider]

I’ve thought for a while we want to be known as an easy club for top players to deal with. We can’t compete with the prestige of Barca, Real etc so we have to gain every advantage we can. He wanted to go, so we’ve not stood in his way. It may hurt now but the reputation will benefit us further down the line and may have already done so.

Hope the Braaf rumour is true. Assuming CL qualification assured it makes perfect sense to blood young players in prem games without pressure of needing points or playing in front of big crowds.

 

[WestGorton]

Nothing. Wait until Aguero leaves. He is truly irreplaceable. A complete one off. Never leave Kun.

 

[wattle]

I think £58 is as good as we could of got to be honest.

 

[King Jay]

Dipper or Rag? Which are you?

Call ne whatever you want. I don‘t care.

We will not know what was said,you are guessing at private conversations with the club,can't you just say thanks for the trophies and wish him well?there are many reason we are 'only 'getting £55 m

Never hated Sané infact I love him. That „ he doesn‘t“ track back was just overrated imo. People suggest that‘s the reason - well Pep said it himself(?) but there‘s still other who don‘t do it well either.
