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

[staffsblue]

Entirely agree with this.
At least there is certainty as others have said. I do hope we win at CAS otherwise we may be looking at others going.
Would like to see Braaf given a chance now

And there's always Jack Harrison on our books who can do a job there.

I would not play him for the rest of the season now
Basically if Munich don’t stump up the cash he spends a year waiting for them
In that year he could get another injury in which case he has no contract or games
We all know they will up the bid and get him
It’s a huge risk for all parties though

I don’t think there is any risk to us here at all. We’re not strapped for cash and don’t need to sell in order to buy players.

At the moment the fee being banded about by Bayern is derisory. You couldn’t even sign a good winger in today’s market for what they are offering.

The risk is all on Sane and Bayern. There is no player in the world as good as Sane who you could get for £50 million. Their posturing makes no sense at all.

IMO, City making this public now takes us out of the relationship triangle. If Bayern don’t pay up, they’re the bad guys now.

He's fucking brilliant when he's on, but i think the space we make for him sometimes affords him to be even better than he is. Not seen enough of Bayern but i assume in the Bundesliga he will tear most of the teams a new arsehole, be the main superstar in the team and a complete poster boy in Germany for Bayern. It's obviously all he's ever wanted, seen as he has a massive fucking tattoo of himself on his own back.

Think there are some interesting players out there to replace, maybe not many direct like-for-like replacements though.

Sane > Sterling

You can bang that drum as often as you want but Raheem has achieved far more in the blue shirt than Sané has so it’s a moot point.

Yes the Bundesligas not much of a challenge but their objective is the CL and he'll help with that.

Bayern are a very nasty club by the way. Apparently they are having some problems with PSG , they tapped up Kouassi, so the parisians told the Germans that if they wanted Kouassi then they had to offer Hernandez for a fair price....... well the Germans told them to pay 75m euros for Hernandez while at this same time expecting to get Kouassi for free! The nerve on these ones! fucking madness!

Fuck him off now.

As has already been said, even if we get fuck all for him we've had our monies worth. Can't understand why people talk about his potential and him being a world beater. At 24 years of age he should have shown more by now than he has.

As for signing Sancho, no thanks. Why replace a player who won't sign a contract with City with another player who wouldn't sign a contract with City

Because Sancho wanted game time. Leaving City is the best thing he will ever have done. Now is the time to bring him back.

 

[Phil1]

Let's not slag off the kid,we achieved a lot and he was a big part of it

He has chance to be a big name in his own county

Also don't underestimate the pressure he is getting from Lowe to get into the team for the euro's

Biggest mistake we have made in years losing him

How can it be a mistake if there’s nothing we can do about a desire to move home?

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Cheeky ****s.

How can it be a mistake if there’s nothing we can do about a desire to move home?

We also won the treble as well.
Wish all of City's mistakes were just as costly.
