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

[balotelli's back pocket]

I don't hold ill will towards him, but what I will say is this: he may have more natural talent and potential than someone like Sterling, but give me Raheem's work rate, guts and mentality any day. Sane clearly didn't think he could hold down a starring role with the likes of Raz and Bernardo in his way so he's gone for the easy route. Good luck to him.

Try and hold out for £50m. Use the 15% matched offer on Sancho, and that transfer only costs us £35m. We get rid of that unhappy mard arse, we get a HG player with similar potential. Makes sense to me.

You grasp of maths is a bit sketchy mate £50m + 15% of £100m + £35m = £100m and Sancho is not worth £100m, might be in 2 or 3 years but not now, not even with HG status.

Fair play to him, wish him the best in Germany. Contributed a lot while he was here.

We can't be all mad at footballers who force their way out of clubs yet still expect them to sign contracts by default.

Played us like a fiddle ...a serious talent on his day but an absolute Mard arse with no fight on him,he's chose the easy option wouldn't have him anywhere near the 1st team squad

 

[Barcon]

Won't be Sancho (even if he would like us to sign him). His wages will be somewhere around 250k - which is simply NEVER happening at City.

My guess is it's going to be this guy.

Going off that video, he seems to spend a lot of time on the right.

That's OK as Raheem spends a lot of his time on the left.

It is the easy route but you can’t really blame him. He’s going back home and is pretty much guaranteed a league title every season.

Think Leroy was similarly playing on the right at that age at Schalke although I could be wrong.

 

[Groke]

will be disappointed to see him go, fantastic when he's on his game, however, not everyone can stay forever! More pissed off that a. we won't get top dollar for him, we really should have been getting £100m+ and b. he is going to that shitehouse of a club

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

If we get some cash for him in the summer we'll probably replace him.

Probably with one of Torres, Bailey, Chukuweze, Traore or Thuram.

I'd love to see us sign Richarlison but he'd cost way too much. Maybe Son if Spurs need the money?
