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

Not necessarily.

If he sees out his contract, he can decide where he goes, rather than be told.

And I recon if the options are Barca, Real, Bayern, then Bayern come 3rd.

All those teams can afford to pay a decent fee for Sane and if he runs his contract down, he'd be expecting a huge signing-on fee.

Why, who hobbled one of ours?

i'm assuming you think i'm misusing the word? i'm not.

I think he's under instruction to make the 'best' decision for the team. Ronaldo would just shoot every time & fuck the teamwork.

The best players make the right decision for the team more often.

One reason why Messi is a better player than Ronaldo and has several more trophies to his name despite being the younger player.

I believe Messi has more club goals and way more assists than Ronaldo. If you add in internationals etc, Ronaldo has a few more goals but still lags on goals per game.

BTW, I don't think Leroy makes the best decision often enough and that includes not running with the ball enough.

Any sign of an apology from TAA yet?

what for? Come on, you are really straw clutching if you are blaming Sane's injury on him

 

[mosssideblue]

The fact that he has been tapped up since may and as of sunday he still hadn't asked pep to leave says to me he doesn't want to leave

Not necessarily. He may have wanted to get the nod that they could afford him before letting it known he wanted out

They can afford it,their chairmans has said all summer as soon as sane tells us he wants to come we will do it,he hasn't told them as of now,pep wouldn't entertain him for games if he had,pep said today he hasn't told him he wanted to leave and he thinks he was never going to leave,sane might have been waiting for the next 3/4 weeks to see how much playing time he got or he is playing us,we'll never know now

So the wages would be less important.

He could go anywhere.

You really couldn't make this up. Either he went or stayed, it's a fucking nightmare this had to happen to him at this exact moment. It'+s a huge, huge loss for both him and City, probably more for the club. I was always on the line of - I'd rather keep him and let him free in 2 years, but now we might neither get his service, nor a big money for him. Utter shite. It's 50 million loss event for the club probably.

For what?

Just professional courtesy

If anyone seriously believes that Bayern is the only club he'd play for if he left, yes.
