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

They are not natural left wingers.

So Mahrez is a natural right footer ?

Thx but no, thx. I'm running away ...

Suspect Angelino and Zinchenko together on that side of the pitch interchanging might not be the end of the world. Just my thoughts.

As I've said, he's rocket quick but without it the rest of his game is so so! In fact, have you ever seen him even head a ball?

Sell Sane, see if Crouch will change his mind on retirement.

Why do we need a replacement ?

Yeah I get the argument we don’t need one, but Leroy is a special talent - I think without him we’re weaker

Angelino? He has been atrocious since he came back. He looks worse than we let him go.
Any premiership game we start with him at left back we will have problems.
He shows no pace and lacks positional awareness, I am sure we brought him back only to resell and make a profit on.
I think he will be let go again in the Jan window.

Honestly, that wouldn’t even be close to top 7 standard.

The gap between Sané and Zinchenko from a forward thinking perspective is gigantic.

Angelino still needs to prove himself as well.

A player with his pace should never be caught offside, he can afford to give a defender a yard or two

As someone else has said, the runner is reliant on the passer releasing the ball before he is offside.

Sorry mate, but that's kind of a pointless statement - it's like saying if De Bruyne didn't have passing ability - he'd be average. Each player has various 'attributes' which make them the player they are.....

Also, Sane has an extremely powerful shot, can take a mean free kick and whips in a good ball.

If Sane stayed and listened to Pep he could become one of the world's best.

I hope we don't budge on our valuation, as I can't see Bayern stretching to £135m. I'd be happy to see him stay here for another season, even if meant having to accept a much lower fee next summer. At least it would give us time to get a replacement lined up, and we'd get another year's service out of him. There would also be an outside chance that he could still end up renewing with us. Losing both Kompany and Sane would significantly weaken us imo, even with the additions of Rodri and Cancelo. Liverpool will be on our tails again, and it seems mad to give them any encouragement.
