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

[Tb1981]

He’s signed his contract, by all accounts.

No alaba or Thiago for us then
If it were a possibility we’d hold out till cas decision on letting Leroy go

It's a shame because Alaba would have sorted out our long-running left back problem. I can't think of anyone else of his quality in that position.

Can’t help feeling Bayern have dropped a massive bollock with the reported salary, sounds like it’s gonna be double that of Coman & Gnabry who’ve produced the goods for them already (in wide areas) they’ve already had Coutinho come in for a season & do naff all on massive money....maybe it’s win win and they get a tune out of them/raise their performance, but I reckon it will blow up in their faces & there’ll be more knocks at the door than emu’s pink windmill

Well I for one will not sleep easily knowing that.

Go on the internet Karen, Google "player name" then "stats" then "season"

However, yet again you've completed airbrushed over the point. It's not Mahrez Vs sane.

Do you think Sanes injury has been the major factor on us falling behind this season, or do you think the loss of laporte and Vinnie, the positional switch of fernandinho and our left back issues have been more damaging? That was the argument that you jumped in the middle of.

It is a mixture,sane would have be a brilliant option given his proven worth in the team

If you are not going to provide a link to your point then no point quoting me

Don't act like you don't know then,which colour shirt will you be wearing later ?

 

[kaz7]

Was it stellar business acumen to let the situation deteriorate to such a point where we had to accept £50m for a player worth double that

£55m

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Dead right, let's not forget that his goal, which he was totally determined
to score, was as important as Aguero's.

Not in the context that Dzeko was on £170k a week and Benteke was on considerably less at Villa.

 

[kaz7]

He has signed

Gutted,fucking annoyed

On we go

What then happens to Mendy ?

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

What then happens to Mendy ?

He has to dramatically improve or leave. He is not the same player since his injury. I think Pep will sell him after this season. I thought he was brilliant for Monaco but he has suffered two career-threatening injuries. It's a shame but we need to move on.

Fingers crossed it’s just because of cas
But can’t see it

We haven't had many dark moments since the takeover by The Sheikh - F A Cup Final 2013, C. L. QF 2nd leg last season; more previous, not qualifying for the CL in May 2010, etc - but this is one of those dark moments for me - losing a player of his ability. Losing important games, whilst gutting at the time, has the potential to be compensated for..................' there's always next season '...................

Leroy, in my opinion, could have become one of the best players in the World - pre injury, anyway...............we can only see if he will be as good as he was at City as he will be with Bayern Munich. Certainly, he is one of the most exciting players in the World for me; his skill, runs at defences, cutting in and shooting scoring and goals/assists are what we pay to go to watch football for. When he signed and started at City, we knew we had a special player - had he played all or part of this season, who knows how things might have turned out. Of course, that is all speculation but look at the games at Norwich, home to/at Wolves and both League games against United - he'd have added something different.

I accept that if a player doesn't want to stay, we can't force him to do so and he's got his own reasons for going - probably one of them being not enough game time and, possibly, his relationship with Pep. I'm not even going to comment on the fee they paid for him.................

Dark day for me and I hope it doesn't get any worse later on............

Nowt we could do I don't think. Once he wasn't picked for the Germany World Cup squad that was it. Think he would have stayed otherwise.

Sad to see him go as he's one of the most talented players I've seen at City and there's no doubt in my mind that he'll go on to be one of the best in world football.

Whatever made him to want to leave, whether he felt undervalued by our contract offer and lack of playing time last season or whether he just wanted a new challenge at one of the biggest clubs in Europe which also happens to be in his home country. It doesn't really matter now.

Cheers Leroy for the important role you played in two historic league title wins and a handful of domestic trophies.

[King Jay]

I‘m happy for him but now he‘s gonna live in an arrogant environment. They talk shit bout Sané and get him 2 years later. Funny isn‘t it.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Lock the thread.

 

[kaz7]

Get to many matches ?

You have asked me that already as well,doubt You know where the cult stadium is

 

[Boris Becker’s Backhand]

You don’t seem to pop up in any of the threads discussing games of yesteryear. Only a fan since 2008 ?
