Think mbappe might have something to say about that? but hey 2nd best player on planet aint to bad :)He’s gonna be probably the best player on the planet over the next 5 years - an absolute game changer. Just pay him and keep him.
Why would we give him a buyout clause?It is time to give Leroy Sane a 6yr contract till the end of the 24/25 season. With a buy out clause of £250,000,000. There should be 1 payment, all up front, before we will let him go to any other club. That should keep all clubs at bay.
Zinchenko was doing a very fine impersonation of Kev vs Schalke.We miss KDB to get the best out of Sane IMO. Not saying Sane isn't brilliant - I think he is - but some of those 1st time through balls from KDB last season, wow, just wow.
Ederson to Ferna, Ferna to KDB, KDB pinging a 50 yard ball and Sane through and scoring. Some of the most brilliant fast counter-attacking football I have ever seen.
The French Jamie Vardy? Always wants it knocked down the channels so he can run onto it?Think mbappe might have something to say about that? but hey 2nd best player on planet aint to bad :)
Loses the ball more than anyone against park the bus teams? Have you got a stat to back that up because I don’t think it’s true. Plus he and Mendy were both playing together before Mendy got injured.The curious case of Leroy Sane... left out of Germany squad, reported back to training with City TWICE not in the condition Pep expected, and fails to adjust to systems outside of a 4-3-3 where the oppo don't park the bus. He's been asked to do wing-back. Failed miserably every time. He's been asked to be disciplined against park the bus teams and loses the ball more than any other player I'd argue. Displaced a by more effective Mendy at the start of season and then got his spot back when Mendy was ruled out. I think that hurt him a little bit. I will say this though, in public he's been exemplary and a credit to Manchester City.
But.. once he's got his head down, he peaks towards the business end of the season and looks unstoppable. The better the oppo, the better he is. Mainly due to the game being more end-to-end/open and he's able to really use his pace and change of balance. Oh and those free kicks are giving De Bruyne a run for his money on those duties.
I think ultimately it comes down to Sane. The above isn't an issue and I'm not hating on him or saying he'll be the best player in the world one day. Because we are not solely reliant on any one single player this quad challenges and pushes every player. What I will say is he'll struggle to find the relationship he has with Sterling in any team in the world. Who else will put those balls in behind the defender that Silva does.
I think it's a no brainer for both to agree a good deal
Personal choice mate! leroy will become a world superstar without doubt, prob for first time since we signed him tho at min i’d say he’s only the 2nd best winger we have :)The French Jamie Vardy? Always wants it knocked down the channels so he can run onto it?
Nah, I’ll go for Leroy ta!
Yep, he even played like him.Zinchenko was doing a very fine impersonation of Kev vs Schalke.

When you reel it off like that, it’s great to be a City supporter.Hope and think this will get sorted ASAP. Having got Bernardo, raz, Eric, Eddie, foden, gabby and kev all sorted then hopefully stones and sane follow quickly

If he wants someone to dribble and be aggressive, then there’s plenty on here fit for purpose!Also Pep has stated he doesn't mind them losing the ball in the final 3rd as he wants them to dribble and be aggressive. That would obviously apply more against park the bus teams
I agree top class when he is bang on form but his nonchalant demeanor is a bit worrying though. Like a big kid that is sulking who can't get his own way. I think he frustrates PEP but that is just an age thing I think. We definitely need him to stay here and fully develop under Guardiola.Almost unplayable when hes on his game, does tend to drift in and out of matches and when he has an off day he can look half arsed, but he would be a huge loss to us. He is a match winner and we should be going all out to secure another young, world class talent down.
