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

Fuck me, let's string him up by the balls for that - crime of the century material right there. So what if he has the odd moan at the officials - our manager isn't beyond that type of behaviour himself.

Personally, I hope he stays because his ceiling his arguably higher than anyone else's at the club. We don't know what's going on behind the scenes and for all we know he could be on the verge of signing a new deal. If not, then I'd be demanding at least £200 million for him

I’m not stringing him up, I’m saying he isn’t the saint people try to paint him as, he’s petulant, like any talented youngster. I don’t understand why that’s being treated as blasphemy?

Nobody's saying he's a saint - they're just saying that he isn't as much of a twat as some are making out

There is one black cloud on the horizon. I am hoping it is a mirage but it looks awfully real to me and that is the departure of Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich. He is a big part of our success and was to have been absolutely central to our future. I feel he is already half way out the door. Perhaps I just fear the worst.

City have got some storm force tsunamis possibly heading our way over the Summer and we needed our key young players to sustain us. I fear the worst in his regard.

Hello darkness my old friend...

But Mahrez isn't playing that much, usually when Sane doesn't play it's because Pep wants Bernardo playing wide right. Mahrez instead of Sane is a complete red herring.

Maybe so in terms of game time, but when Pep is playing Gundogan (who’s said he’s leaving in the business end of the title race) and saying Mahrez will be here next season and the season after, you’ve got to wonder why.

I’d be happy with Sterling and Bernardo on the wings, even though we’ll lose Sane’s raw pace on the counter. Will need yet another attacking midfielder though.

Agreed pal, he’s somewhere in the middle.

But as I keep saying, and I’m sure you’ll agree, I’d rather have him and stick with him than not!

Sane has his good points
Sane has his bad points

Can be brilliant and can be frustrating, what he is like throughout the week only the coaches know, I do thinl with the LB posititon being unstable the last few weeks, in a choice between sane and sterling to add more protection, then sterling wins.

He should sign and stay, but if he doesn't want to let him go.

everyone having a stab in the dark..maybe negotiations are for more cash and it's causing a delay

He's not going anywhere IMO

 

[Thomas Hearns]

He’s a City hero he’s contracted to us and he’s staying. Fuck the scumbag journos making up shite for clicks. How would they know what he wants. Slap the cvnts when you encounter them. Hug Leroy when you encounter him.

What's all this crap about Mbappe?

Leroy has two years left on his deal and things became a little more complicated last summer as he was convinced he was going to the World Cup and his bargaining position would have then been strengthened.

His girlfriend, who isn't favoured by his folks, gave birth to his first child (not been with her long), he is a young man being pulled in various directions.

Time is of the essence, Bayern, Paris, Madrid, they are all in his ear.

If we do have a two-window ban deferred until January, then the club will possibly have to consider a summer sale, unless they feel Leroy can be talked round.

The mum seems to be the person driving the timeline and, as a former sportswoman, herself, will know the negotiating game well.

Leroy is my favourite player and I still hope this is all bluff and counter.

Worryingly, however, we are negotiating big on at least three different fronts for players, it would appear. Joao Felix, Bruno Fernandes and Rodrigo, which would set us back the best part of £220m (without a new left-back)

That would be an unprecedented spend or we are expecting to bring in big cash from elsewhere.

I just hope it's not our Leroy.
