Unfortunately in my opinion the signing of Mahrez was the final piece in his decision making process. Injury aside, his game time would have been affected by rotation. If he was on the fence about going home it probably factored in his thoughts. I also think moving Raheem to the left was also a consequence of fitting Mahrez into the team. For me I would have much rather we had stuck with the front three of Sergio, Raheem & Sane with Gabriel and Bernardo able to cover injuries and poor form. I get why they wanted Mahrez as a plan B when teams sat deep but I don't think he has delivered on the level of an in form Leroy . I'm sure Sane will become a key part for Bayern and we will lament the loss but we trust Pep's policy of not wanting to stand in the way of anyone who wants out and also the fact that no-one is a guaranteed starter. Concerning the fee I suspect we will settle for 40m + add ons which is fair at the moment.

If we hadn’t signed Mahrez we’d have been fucked this season with Sane out

I'm not so sure as surely the return of KDB added to last year plus some more time for Foden would have covered. I'm sure as Sane was injured so early they would have also dipped into the market. Not that I don't think Mahrez is a quality player I just feel we changed the breathless speed in which we attacked last year. More important for me was the loss of Laporte and Vinny but we all know that.

Aren't we just waiting till the end of this year's CL to avoid giving Bayern any advantage. Getting Sane before the end of the tournament would be a huge boost for Bayern, even if we inserted a clause to prevent him playing against us. I suspect a deal has already been done and he'll go in August.

I've no idea bud, simply responding to the notion that the poster would rather let him rot for a year and then go for free
