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

[BlueLook]

We have 4 wide players. For 2 spots. The other 3 players will simply get more games and sub ins. Specifically, Mahrez will be unchallenged.

His unique talent will be missed. But we have enough covering his position.

Yes, but I would prefer 4 wingers, unless we won't be challenging for all the 5 competitions.

 

[Jazzman]

Not really. He is significantly better than any current winger at Bayern. There is a reason why they are ochestrating an open charm offensive.

I am not sure I agree entirely. Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry are certainly no mugs. I do not see things going automatically for Leroy there.

What's the 5th competition?

German rags and their players are acting like cvnts.
It’s a small world and goes around.
Future is blue deal with it .

You are right, they are no mugs. But neither is as good as Sane nor would either be considered ahead if the club's record signing.

At Bayern the job is his to lose. Now compare that to here where he is fighting to be the 1st sub on. Its not really hard to see the Bayern attraction for him.

Home country, highly regarded, charm offensive etc.

One isnt a competition though. It's one game. But I see ur point

Wish he’d shit or get off the pot to be honest;

The drama that surrounds new age football player is ridiculous.

Oh I agree with the attraction, and I also believe Leroy actually is inclined to go there. He could just have said no when asked about it yesterday, but instead he left it open. He is being careful not to burn any bridges with City, and presumably he would also not be unhappy staying here.
IMO City should be firm and say no. Then maybe Bayern will buy somebody else, and Leroy might then choose to sign a new contract with us. Transfermarkt interestingly today writes about Carrasco being Bayern's alternative to Leroy, so here"s hoping.
