sane for me can leave right now get him off our wage bill and lets get some money for him

they say one players does not make a team ? and the world class players need the work horses ? manchester city will be ok and will go on winning silverware without sane and one door closes another opens for somebody else

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.

No way was 137m above market value. it was fair. We maybe would have accepted less, but bayern needed to get into the ball park at least, and they were about 70m off with what they claimed through the media the maximum they would pay would be. And there was a week left in our transfer market to find a replacement. He wasn't going anywhere last summer, that was bloody obvious, not because of our refusal to sell, but because of Bayern's, to make an appropriate offer.
So i have no issue with us having played him in the shield. He was our player, he was available. It was unfortunate, for many reasons, but i cant argue with the reasons for playing him. The season was starting less than a week later, was he not meant to play for us in that either?
 
Will be a shame to see him go - he’s a quality player and a joy to watch when in full flight.

Can’t really blame him though. Still young enough to go elsewhere and become a legend at a club and to do that at the biggest club in your country would be quite appealing.

you have to have big balls and work amazingly hard and talent alone will not be enough ? nobody is questioning the talent sane has but pep does question his work rate for the team ? like i said it could be worst ? it could be liverpool or united he wants to play for. going to the german league is ok for manchester city in terms of danger to us long term but as for champions league and meeting munich its ok to. because i would think city would have his number and know a early kick letting him know our fullbacks are not messing around
