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

Wasn’t there a complaint by some of the German squad, something about Leroy having a poor attitude which was why he was left out of their World Cup squad. Could it be that Pep is finding that this is becoming a problem.

Leroy has a bad attitude, Sancho was tough to manage and Brahim Diaz was also difficult I guess. If we keep losing great young talent like this then we will soon have multiple 60 million players sitting on bench like Mahrez.

To be honest I didn't like the way Pep was rambling and shouting at him on Monday.
He's a young kid still.
I'd have been upset if I was Leroy.

He’s 23, not 10.
If he can’t handle his boss having a go when he fucks up he hasn’t got the right mentality to be a top player.

Unfortunately I think this is the case. If you look at the relative progress of Raheem vs Leroy in their time at City, there's no comparison.

I love him, nothing like watching him run at full tilt, and still a magnificent footballer. But at the level City are at now even a tiny chink in mentality looks like a gulf, and you can see that in the comparison with Sterling and Bernardo. In terms of raw talent I think he's easily as good as them, but I doubt many would start him ahead of either.

No, not ahead of but with.

B Silva is wasted on the right wing, of course, he is waiting for his namesake to retire and become the AM that he truly is.

A front 4 of Sane, Silva, Sterling with Aguero up top is the best attacking line up we have atm.

I’ve been thinking about this and I think he’s been tapped up.

As I’ve made abundantly clear I want him to stay, and I’d be surprised if we hear more until after the season when it’ll all become a bit clear. However; Bayern are in desperate need with both Robben and Ribery retiring at the end of the season they need a new German golden boy, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been in the ear of his German mother.
Both his brothers had careers and are still In Germany as well.
This is all conjecture but I’d be massively surprised if Bayern haven’t at least hadn’t a go.

On paper it is but sadly Leroys form recently makes this not the case.

Thats why he is paid millions and people like you and i are not.

He wasn't tracking back

I hear you given D Silva is in a bit of a dip, although have to say I really like B Silva on the wing, I think it's his best position because of the way he can twist and turn a full back. Potential summer signing of the guy from Sporting suggests maybe he'll keep playing there. He's brilliant in either position.

Would take in a heartbeat
