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

I'm hardly gonna go into full detail am I? It's called simplifying it. And yes, you can detect a full rupture by doing a very basic test on the knee.

I’m aware of such tests, having had them.

Perhaps I was a bit flip, but City (and the surgeon) will know EXACTLY what the damage is from the scans, which is why they had to wait for the fluid to dissipate, so they could get the absolute best imagery possible.

All that said, respect for your qualifications. Didn’t mean to imply they were nothing or not meaningful, just that you sounded a bit “Doctor-y” while using poor language.

Nightmare.

Bad news for Sane and us

Indeed it is

I'll say this, when he's doing his rehab and getting flown to the best specialists and doctors around and receiving all the support he needs it won't be on Bayern's dime or watch.

Let's see if that registers if/when a new contract is put in front of him this season.

He already has a new contract in front of him (assuming we don't now take it away), just needs signing.

I have to confess I was of the attitude of how do Manchester City better last year? Winning the quadruple and beating off Liverpool in the title race after they started the season celebrating an injury to KDB. Here we go again. Start of the season and a main stream media site, with a Liberal, woke, virtue signalling rainbow halo openly celebrating an injury that boosts the strange scouse cult.

I’m up for it now.

That 'snow leopard' run is gone forever. I am so sad for him.

Unfortunately I received the news that he would miss most of this upcoming season , he will probably never be the same player again after this injury and be lucky to get more than 50 mill for him next year with also only having 1 year let next year

It’s not 1986. These days cruciate injuries heal very well.

We don't have much choice ! I'd like to think he'd do the honourable thing and sign a new contract but I wouldn't bet on it.

Not sure the same contract will be on the table now. We would be mad to make any long term commitment until we know how he will be. Sane may have blown his immediate future..

 

[Mancity1980]

If what he had written sounded remotely “expert” I’d have been all ears!

Oh, and a “sports physiotherapy” degree is to a medical degree what holding out your arms and going “Wheeeee” is to an ATP.

Association of Tennis Professionals?...:)

 

[mccity]

You posted he's staying !!! that gave the impression he was signing a new deal not that he has a long term injury

There's some City fan with a monkey's paw tucked up somewhere that deserves a good telling off!

So sad for Leroy, what an immense talent he is, it's difficult to comprehend how a young guy can break thru, then have

this kind of horrific injury. I hope the injury is at the low end of ACL scale and medical expertise can, in time, get him as

close as possible to where he was, prior to the injury. The whole circus around him these past months needs to disappear

asap so he can concentrate solely on his medical situation whilst others support him. Get Well Soon, LEROY, LEROY, LEROY
