I think we are holding all the cards here. Assuming Sane is fit and good enough to get in the team then surely we can use him. He could be great impact sub for example. I think we should be pragmatic. Tevez was brilliant for City but could hardly be described as the world's most loyal player. If we are paying his wages I have no problem using Sane. It's up to Bayern.I don't agree, if Pep creates an "you want to be here, you get to play" mentality then I don't see too much of an issue. I don't see why we should help his national team aspirations when he's not willing to commit to the club. If he wants to leave fine, let him put pressure on Bayern to pay up knowing he'll be going into a Euros year not playing a single minute. I don't see why he should get a free ride at our expense.
It's a good point but I am assuming he will have to earn his place like everyone else.And how does he get on the field?

What if the choice is £40 million or nothing.There’s no way in hell I’d let that club have someone of sane quality for 40m
We can keep him for the last 12 months or sell him. That's still quite a lot of power. Sane has 12 months left on his contract and wants to leave. That's life. I honestly don't think Pep will give it a second thought . Pep is pragamatic. If he needs Sane on the field at any stage over the next year he will play him.The only cards we are holding are jokers. Sadly, we have no power here
That will mean only Munich are interested so he will probably go.What if the choice is £40 million or nothing.

It would be bloody funny if we kept him and he scored a few goals in the CL next season which impacted on Bayern. I don't think Pep will get into mind games with Bayern over it. He will do what is right for the team. If Sane starts disrupting things then he will obviously not stay in the squad but I wouldn't be surprised if he plays tonight.
More likely Sane is only interested in Munich.That will mean only Munich are interested so he will probably go.
I still think the best option is to sell him for £50m but if Bayern won't pay up then make them wait and we can use the asset we still have. It's a choice for Bayern. Sane can't afford not to play next season after 12 months out with injury. Two years out of football could destroy his career. It's up to Bayern. They must put up or shut up.It's only power if you want to cut your nose to spite your face
