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

[kaz7]

He is at a key stage in his development. Brazil's star player. Needs to play.

We will sign another one, when Serge goes. So GJ needs to be on the map this season.

I can only see sergio starting the big games,he is the senior and best pure striker we have,be interesting how many times they play together now we have a proper LB as he said that's what he would do if Benny was fit

 

[mikemcfc]

Players don't have to appease anyone,it's empty words so why bother

yes, my original point is why he wouldn't.

"arguably the best coach in the world"

After ole of course

Sané, mein Herz in Flammen
Will dich lieben und verdammen
Sané, dein Atem kalt
So jung, und doch so alt
Sané!

[mikemcfc]

He has no reason to 'appease' anyone. If Pep doesn't pick him more next season & he hasn't signed, he will leave.

As will Gabriel Jesus.

exactly, again, my original point is why he wouldn't.

Sané, mein Herz in Flammen
Will dich lieben und verdammen
Sané, dein Atem kalt
So jung, und doch so alt
Sané!

Yes whatever you said

These pricks use similar tactics to the rags in as get linked to a player who they know most likely will not be going anywhere near them as things stand,all to do with keeping themselves relevant and keeping the fans onside ..

You can be absolutely assured that the City board and Txiki are well aware of what they are doing.
You seem to be a little impatient and angry, feeling that City is bullied on transfer fees.

Looking at our finances, our squad, our success obviously our way of managing the club is top notch.
Txiki doesn't need to slam an unrealistic prize tag on any player.
We want to convince special players out there to come and stay and join our way.

And you forgot that one: players who don't want to stay are allowed to leave. Any player. Leroy as well.
Our philosophy requests full commitment.

simple wrong ?? its a dirty old world the transfer windows

its called tapping up and a player can fool the club in saying am not happy or wants a move because of this or that, also the agent play a big part in it and if a offer is out there and a buying club say to a agent is this player available or can he be made to say he is unhappy at his parent club and wants to move, manchester city have a record of being done over the in and out department of transfers ?? and we are not the only one's but in the new signings we are the number one club that over pays because of our owners

sane is going to be a superstar and munich know it and will be up there with the likes of messi or ronaldo and want him on the cheap, its a dirty world with munich and germany top club and they hold a lot of cards at international levels and can make sane life hell because of it if he turns them down and stays at city, so maybe sane is saying the right things and knows life at international level could be of limits he he turns down munich

like i said the only way is to scare them off (munich) and take it out of the players hands is say £200 million or shut up and i would even have had a buyout clause at that price in his contract after the first season, that's is worth to man city and i even says a lot more if he stayed for 10 years

Well de Bruyne I believe is on £250,000 a week plus bonuses? Bernardo is rumoured to be on €180,000 a week plus bonuses?

If correct , do you think Leroy should earn more than Bernardo ?

Based upon their respective performances ?

Gabby would be mad to leave with sergio going into his last season after this coming one

Agree Karen, but if he only plays as much as he did last season he'd probably also be entitled to look elsewhere. We will buy when Aguero leaves - what if Jesus also finds himself stuck behind a new guy?

 

[ancoats]

In the current market for his outstanding potential he’s worth £200,000 a week imo

the value in wages is key right now city need to give him a new 5 year deal and yes £200.000 a week and with a buyout clause of £250million

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

And if that breaks the existing wage structure ?

We don't operate like the rags .

There was a brazillian journo the other day saying he is giving it another year and gabby himself saying he needs to work harder to get more minutes,it's always been the way that sergio is first choice,edin used to suffer from not being sergio as well,gabby has time to prove he can take over if he wants it,we might move away from the purer striker like sergio when he leaves,of course pep might be gone by then,it must be difficult for a young player to stick or twist

Damn right we don’t operate like the rags. There’s a huge difference between offering a 30 year old 500k a week for 5 years just to beat a rival to a signing than offering one of the brightest talents in world football a deal that keeps him at the club for the best years of his career.

 

[ancoats]

i don't think its the wage structure with sane ?? he is worth every penny of £200.000 a week, and i would bet city are close to a new deal he will getting £200.000 a week or more or he is off to munich who will gladly give it him

for me sane is the best young player in europe right now, and he is ready to rip up tree's this season and pep knows it, pep is a master of getting the best out of young talent at the right time and this season is sane's season, and pep holding back last season was a master stroke making the player even more hungry and determined to show his talent, mark my words we have a talent on our hands up there with the likes of messi and ronaldo at that age, and we dare not lose him right now because something special is happening with sane

sane is special and is just about to show the whole of europe he is the real deal at manchester city i feel it in my waters

Yep - it's like a gamble either way for him. Big boots to fill so maybe you're right - not a traditional centre forward like Sergio but maybe one of the more versatile types

In your opinion. Our management team may not agree with your assessment .

Thanks for that.

It was a " tongue in cheek " remark btw.
