If we can't get a decent price for Sane we may as well keep him for next season and play him. If Bayern only offer say £30m then we would get more value with him in the squad for 12 more months. I don't think Sane would take his ball home if this happened because he needs to play to get in the German squad for the Euros.I wish Leroy well but the whole thing does leave a slightly sour taste? He’s a top player no doubt but possibly lacks the mentality to make it to the very top where his natural talent should take him. It could be family pressure taking him home as well though and hopefully we can get £50m for him and go out and get Sancho back .

Another good reason to keep him is it would make life difficult for Bayern...one of our biggest enemies in football. They have tried to de-stabilise us for years. It would be worth £30m just to fuck them up. We probably should have sold Sane last summer for a good price but now we need a different strategy.
Yes imagine if Leroy came off the bench to score the winning goal in the CL for us. We should certainly keep him for now. He can leave later with our fans' blessing and leave a legacy. Remember we have supported him through injury for 12 months. If Bayern can't stump up now they will have to wait.I agree, 100% with this

Ok so the ball's in Bayern's court. I am sure City would sell for £60m but i would still keep Sane till the end of the CL.Yep we should've. On the one hand the club and Pep and fans say players who don't want to stay are free to leave, but last summer the club didn't strictly follow that route. We demanded what 137m? and to me it was too far above market value. IMO Bayern would have paid just below 100m and yes it was not easy to find a proper replacement - but we didn't follow our philosophy which is always risky.
Playing Leroy instead of Jesus in the shield was nonsense and far too risky. I still can't believe we did that. What a nogo on the financial risk level.
Anyway, it happenend.
For now, I think Bayern need and want Leroy now instead of next summer given their winger situation. IMO Leroy's market prize after injury would be still around 80m € and Bayern have to pay >60m € certainly. Indeed Leroy can't risk another unwanted year here and Bayern can't risk to let another club step in the race.

The cheats tag will remain even if we are cleared along with the losers tag, from before takeover, the Emtihad tag, the no history tag, the, only come for the money tag the dirty oil money tag. They will all be with us while we have a press, other than Martin Samuels, who will not report the truth of FFP. The truth that FFP is a tool designed and implemented by powerful clubs within UEFA with the express purpose of stopping City. We have to ignore the jibes and support the club 100%. We will come through this. Always look on the bright side of life. Maybe someone can post Monty Python for me.
Edit.
If the ban stays City will, in my opinion, move on to a higher court as they seem determined to prove their innocence with the evidence they have. The appeal has not been lost yet.
I'm sure working with the greatest coach in the multiverse that he would soon learn how to tackle and barge people into the anfield terraces. Flanagan and Gomez would help out with coaching him on how to put Sterling into orbit
