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

[BlueRebel7]

Just Bayern covering their ass after Kovac et al were talking all that crap. A little more optimistic though.

Now tolmie is back from the dead. This transfer saga is almost a match to the De Bruyne one

In Pep we trust.

He basically left him out for the important part of the season.

Pep knows stuff.

I'd be hugely surprised if we paid 80m for Maguire.

In terms of club transfer records, City are 5th in England (behind Arsenal!) and 11th in Europe. Which is great and incredible.

We can make a huge transfer but for someone like Mbappe.

City are 6th, behind Arsenal and Spurs

I've seen him try... he cant.

Jesus could maybe.

Maybe Pep thinks differently (:

Can you tell me how we are adequately covered when we are actually loosing one of our options. Are we having some new academy play on the left side if Raz is injured. Its not like sane was a excess last year he played a substantial amount who is going to take those minutes?

Last summer barely anyone felt we needed to buy a winger, yet we bought Mahrez anyway. That’s why we are adequately covered.

Oh well. Shame.

I would pose the question why Maguire has yet to sign for United?

He's been hanging on and I suspect this has had something to do with Sane.

City have been clear all summer on this, they have not wanted Leroy to leave but would not stand in his way, either.

Brokering between the two clubs have been going on for weeks. Leroy has been sitting tight and just hoping an agreement would be reached.

There will be no direct winger replacement, as Pep feels we are adequately covered out wide.

It is entirely different to Gundogan, as he is out of contract next year and, because of the relatively small fee we paid, City feel they have had decent value from him.

Would love Leroy to have a late change of heart but doesn't sound positive.

Maguire and Cancelo might yet be the trade off City are prepared to reconcile.

Crappy trade off,an overpriced under talented CB and a back up RB,hurrah

He hasn't said anything we don't already know

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

That's either Bayern not getting their fans hopes up or someone from City has had another word.

Or maybe they are just saying it, as it is.

To cheer people up (a little) at least it isn't one of the following leaving...
- Sterling
- KDB
- Bernardo
- Laporte
- Foden
- Aguero
- Ederson
- Fernandinho

Does that help anyone??
Sorry best I could do... :-(

Yep. Hes well behind plenty
