I'm of the same mind. Two years is a long time in football and he earns a relatively modest £65k a week, so it would be costing the club peanuts to keep a genuine game-changer in the squad mix.
The only issue comes if that results in a lack of professionalism from him. We don't need the money, though. We shouldn't care what other people think if we allow a 25-26-year-old coming into his peak to walk away for nothing.
Lewandowski did so.
We can still afford to go out and buy his long-term replacement. Sane and his advisers just need to know that we wouldn't be bluffing and any lack of professionalism won't force an exit.
In that respect, it would be up to Sane's side to convince Bayern to pony up the suitable price now.
Just watched the video of all our goals this season. His goals and assists are just pure quality. He is the most natural striker of a ball we have (other than Vinnie). He will get better and wiser with age. It would be very disappointing to lose him, particularly to the c**nts at Bayern.

We need to start signing players on 5+1 year contracts, where we can activate an additional year at our disrection. Would help a lot in situations like this. I know the Rag's transfer policy has been laughable, but it's the one thing I feel we should be copying.
As for Sane, I really hope he stays and don't get the criticism of his performances. The 'attitude' must be a behind the scenes issue as I really don't have a problem with his output, effort or even defensive work. If he 100% wants to go, I guess it's best to cash in. Hope that isn't the case though.
He is being used more and more on the bench.
Now I like Leroy but he has to try and get his act together and sign a new deal.
If not we get the best fee we can for him.Makes no sense to have him here for 2 seasons and leave for free.
The problem with that is the only reason those United players are agreeing to 5+1 deals is because they can't believe how much money is getting chucked at them in the first place.
We could sign them on deals which we agree to renegotiate, subject to performance.
I Lol'ed ;)with a few exceptions for broader individual things like winning the ballon d'or or getting POTY.
