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

[Franny's toilet roll]

Basically, Piss or get off the pot. I think Bayern will crawl away back under their rock, but if they dont I'm ok with him going for that money. Let's hope he's mature about it and not put on the Billy big bollocks that if he stays. Why didn't City say this to Bayern 6 weeks ago?

Loving the news of the £135m price tag. It’s what I’ve been waiting for. Bayern are as desperate as you can be.

Their wingers are Coman and Gnarby. Dortmund have better wingers. As do Crystal palace lol

Now Bayern pay what he's worth or fuck off

Doubt it. Bayern are going to keep negotiating to bring the price down.

Having briefed the press, we can’t come down now without looking very weak. The only way the cash comes down is if they throw in a player we want.

The problem is that there have been numerous transfers, not necessarily involving City, which have followed exactly the same narrative as you have set out and the player ended up being sold.

In this case I think the speculation has partly been fuelled because Pep doesn’t seem to be 100% committed to keeping Leroy. He’s not going to insist that Leroy stays if he wants to leave. The fact that he’s said that suggests that he’s not convinced that Leroy wants to stay

I've highlighted the pertinent bits

The speculation is fuelled by BM trying to bully City
Pep will always "insist" that a player being unhappy will be allowed to move

"The fact that he’s said that suggests that he’s not convinced that Leroy wants to stay"
Pep has said he hopes Leroy stays

It’s good that the window closes when the season starts. In previous years this uncertainty would have impacted a good few games.

It still could. German window closes on 2nd Sept. it’s been suggested that we wouldn’t replace Leroy if we sell him so what if Bayern offer the full whack on 1 September and Leroy says he wants to go?

Ha ha love it, We're playing hardball at last with the cheeky German fuckers.
Over to you Fritz .

It’s open until 2nd September in Germany, so it will run until then.
