Maybe. Maybe not. Doubt you can find a player of his quality (and don't forget knowledge of this team and system) that 40m would meaningfully contribute to.
Moot point, till bayern offer 40m.

I'm sorry, How can anyone say he would have left last year for 110m, or 100m or 115m or whatever? We didn't gamble, bayern did (and we lost). Bayern repeatedly said tehy wouldnt pay more than 70m. to imagine they'd have paid 110m is a hell of a stretch. We said we'd accept nothing less than 135m, 110 is less if a stretch, but ultimately, what makes you think bayern would ever have gone that high.
Because they were negotiating for a compromise figure as soon as City briefed we wanted £138m.
A figure of £100m plus £10m in add-ons was what we were ready to accept and Sane would have been sold a couple days after the Liverpool game.
We gambled on playing Sane to push Bayern closer to that figure and it backfired due to the injury.
Leroy was saying his goodbyes last summer to people.
I hope he doesn’t. We are basically testing him for them so they can see if he‘s still the same or not. They should get him without any gametime since they are so heavily interested in him anywayI would play him tonight
Yeah but if he plays a bags a hat trick that will strengthen our positionI hope he doesn’t. We are basically testing him for them so they can see if he‘s still the same or not. They should get him without any gametime since they are so heavily interested in him anyway

Only Pep will know Leroy's state of mind. If he's sulking don't play him, if he's bursting to prove a point - give him a go. I'm sure Bayern have been on the phone saying - please don't play him against Burnley.
Maybe they have but ultimately as a club we firstly need to qualify for next season's CL and then we have two cups still to play for and a fit Leroy could play his part. We need to bring him up to speed in time for cup games as I think we should be ok for CL. We only require 11 points and that's assuming scum and Wolves win every game.Only Pep will know Leroy's state of mind.

I doubt we played sane to push bayern to up an offer they hadn't made and repeatedly said they wouldn't make. We played him because he is our player. That isn't a gamble.
I don't beleive any of that, i'm sorry and no offense, but 110m is so far off both, and wven if i could see us accepting it (that soon after saying 135 so resolutely), i can't see bayern having offered it. It would have beem 72m, then 75, i doubt they'd have gone over 80. They made their bed, they'd look supid if they didn't lie in it. I doubt they had hoped for anything more than unsettling him, making sure he doesn't commit to a new deal, and trying again this season for a lot less.

I guess I've been totally out of the loop then. I was under the impression that Bayern were lowballing us with a £70/80m bid and, because of that, have defended our choice to play him.
If what you're saying is true then that was incredibly stupid of us.
