Leroy Sané

improved defensiv workrate...still average first touch & passing...not really dangerous infront of the goal..already 27...imo coman,davies,musiala are the only interesting targets at munich
 
I would love him back at City personally. Pep would get the best out of him, and he might be mature enough to do exactly what Pep asks now and become the player everyone expected him to be.

Rapid, tricky and something different. Exactly what we need.

Me neither, Bayern want him gone and he would be earning more than just Haaland and De Bruyne.

He might be desperate, but he's not on our radar unless it becomes a 'bargain'.

Bayern will also have their own inflated valuation in mind.

I think that ship has sailed.
 
Full disclosure, I'd love Leroy back. Both wings covered, knows the system and would be getting a humbled and grateful version of the player we had before. The past season he has had to jet over to Manchester to try and spend any spare time he has in Bayern's schedule with his girlfriend and kids, such is the extent that she dislikes being in Germany. That and the tears on Peps' shoulder, post semi final, point to me a player that would return in an instance with wages being an afterthought. He's still only 28.

Can a leopard change it's spots?

His issue was never ability, he has that in buckets , the issue was he was often too laid back and slightly arsey.

Not always. Sometimes, admittedly.
And to my eyes, he looked anything but that in his two games against us. He was trying his heart out. Maybe — maybe — to say to us, “Look, I've matured. I've been back home and it isn't all that. I still know how to do what I always knew how to to.”
This is not to diss Riyad, who's been a fine player for us. But if Riyad wants to go (and I would understand that), and Sané in, wouldn't you take it in a heartbeat? (Obviously, Leroy's not a right winger. Neither is Jack, really. So somebody would need moving over to the right. Pep's asked for stranger things.)

Edit: strange, I remember Leroy doing his particularly brilliant stuff for us down the left. I see that he's considered to be a right winger. So can play on both sides.

Loved him as a player, very exciting, but that train has left the station.

Er… what does that mean, exactly?
I note in passing that a train leaves the station, gets to its terminus. And it comes back again.

By the way, I should specify that I'm never normally favourable to bringing players back who've left. Even the great Shaun W-P, it didn't really work second time around, did it? But you've got to consider circumstances, and take every case on its merit.
Anyway, this is all hypothetical. He hasn't said he wants to leave Bayern, as far as I know, and we haven't said we want him.
It is, to use a choice word, a nugatory discussion. Not to say otiose.
