Leroy Sané

[manimanc]

Reports that we have agreed personal terms but are in disagreement regarding the transfer fee. Think it will happen they are haggling over a couple of Million.

Sounds like a rerun of the de bruyne saga. Like someone alluded to on here we just got to be patient and let it happen naturally.

Normal selling tactic. The lad is wanted by most top clubs dont blame them for wanting big money. It will happen my guess tuesday

Lol that's what your agent is for.

Why would a player cut short there only holiday of the year to start training early.

This is a done deal and be announced when he's back from the states.

In Germany it is told that the decision will be made when he returns from holiday.

I just thought it was funny that they are all up in California. I knew of a photo from Sane with Özil from L.A. from yesterday - and that Götze and Schürrle are on holidays together with their wags in Malibu, too. So I looked up Draxler and later on Mustafi (and looked where others of the German team who are not for grabs are right now).

I'm pretty happy with Txiki's work so far this summer and will be even happier if he gets Sané and Stones. Yes it could've been quicker but there's only so much the club can do about that as Schalke and Everton know City can afford their high asking prices and will be looking to drain every last penny they can from the players. As for Laporte, well, everything was in place until he changed his mind. Not much we can do about his free will.

Personally I believe we have this transfer more or less wrapped up. The player wants to join us, it's a matter of a fee now.

If the player does not tell in a camera or in an authorized interview that he wants to join a club I am very careful because of the bullshit the media spins. I do not know how trustful BILD is when Schalke is concerned as I am no Schalke expert - for Bayern they are very good - for Dortmund it is the SZ and Ruhrnachrichten but not BILD.

I do not post this because I want him for Bayern. I do not know if he is really top club material - too much German youngsters could not do it at Bayern...

I hope you are right mate, but judging from the interviews with Sane senior and Rummenigge yesterday on Sky Sports Germany the fee is not agreed yet. So it can still go wrong and Bayern surely is interested.

Bitter German rag. Just admit you want Bayern to sign him.

 

[Viridian]

Is this ever going to get done? We seriously need to get moving

Hard to "get moving" when all our targets are on holiday after a major international tournament.

Curious as to how you believe it could have been quicker

Well some deals can struck, Kante for example.

 

[oakiecokie]

If we end up getting him happy days but I'm sick of hearing people say they know it wil happen in the next couple of days, been hearing that for the last 4 weeks, the longer this goes on the more unlikely it will be to happen

Are you on your periods ??

I suspect it's a little easier to fly LA to China, than having to endure LA back to Germany and then another flight to Beijing.

The lad is on holiday, and knowledge is power if we know he wants to sign for Pep.

It's 13 hours from LA to Beijing, and only 12 hours LA to Germany.

However, it's then another nine hours for him to jump on another plane from Germany to Beijing.

Simply joining straight up with City squad saves him eight hours of flying time.

A little strong!
It's interesting to read a German perspective on Pep/Bundesliga/German players.
Wind your neck in.

Good point mate. Off course it does give us some leverage in the negotiations with Schalke if we know he wants to sign for Pep. That could explain the time it takes to bring this to conclusion.

A little strong? The Bayern fan is a tit. His behaviour during the KDB saga was worthy of a perm ban.

Cheers mate....makes alot of sense!;) would he do his medical and officially sign in China?

What's bitter about what she posted??

The reality is we are paying over the odds in an already inflated market....

We are buying potential and eradicating competition for that potential!!

Why not?

Commercial opportunity in a place we are trying to maximise.
