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

who is Leroy's agent? It says Lian Sports but he isn't listed in their "stable"

I think there was spells where his form dipped and I think it was Bournemouth at home around Christmas, he seemed to have little ‘appetite’ for the game.

Not unusual in young players though that inconsistency, sometimes we forget how young he is, and being actutely sensitive to form.

He's 24 mate

Ignore the troll. you were bang on with the liverpool reference. If we didnt win that its doubtful we would have won the league. That set the tone and momentum for our challenge and put the shits up the dippers.

how am I being a troll you clown, that game was in January, yes it was a big big win but was still a long way to go and we were still 4 pts behind at that point. So wasn’t a title deciding goal, didn’t even send us top ffs

If he didnt score it we wouldnt have caught them based on their run in results. Its a nonsensical argument anyway, every goal in a title win is a title winning goal.

He is now, not over the previous 3 seasons what we are discussing.

If a player hasn't found consistency by 22/23 then it isn't there.

Fair comment, my bad. The age reference was as an explanation of dips we have seen in his form historically.

I'd say they're down to concentration and application. He's got the best coach in the world playing in a system that is made for him. He has no excuses. Look at the improvement raz has made under Pep. He's had three consecutive 20+ goal seasons.

I don't think he has the drive to go to the next level. Moving back to the Bundesliga would verify that. It's a backwards step

Correct imo , Sterling has listened to Pep and worked on his game . Sane seems to resent the " criticism" which Pep has handed out and then sulked .

If sterling is having a bad game it looks worse because he still goes and looks for it, misses chances, he's there for the next one.

Leroy plays hide and seek on an off day. He's a fair weather player, in my humble opinion
