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

[bobmcfc]

2017/18 Annual Report
- City post record revenues of £500.5 million, a 44% increase in five years
- Profits reported at £10.4 million, the Club’s fourth consecutive year of profitability
- Wage/revenue ratio sits at a healthy 52%
I think our financial results don't require any further boost in terms of FFP -

Having more money isn’t a bad thing. And selling him for less than £100m helps us how ? Liverpool are still spending the coutinho money according to their fans. It’s those kind of optics that help the argument we are spending money we generate ourselves rather than the perceived sugar daddy cash

He is a kid who needs to play but let's make it all about money eh

He is not a kid, 24 I believe, and as others have said, is is learning from the arguably the world best teacher, in one of the greatest club teams ever created.
And from reports I have seen, seems to have been almost bullied by his mother in a possible return to a very inferior German league.

23 and he is not being played is he,that's the point,he wants to play,to be the poster boy for germany should not be tempting then?His mum is his agent and he trusts her

He is not playing for a reason. He either does not listen to his manager or other players in our squad are seen as more productive to the team.

As a career move , I see Bayern as a backward step, if it was Real or Barca I could understand.

The fact that only one club is in the market for him is very telling in my opinion.

Players of this quality are few and far between, maybe he does have attitude problems and the major clubs are wary of him

 

[SWP's back]

Sané is a better player than Sterling.

Ha. Come off it.

He may have a higher ceiling but he’s not on Sterling’s level at present.

Regardless what has been going on behind the scenes with sane’s agent ( his mum) and others,the whole pressure created by the Munich shithouses and the German league in general throw in the Germany coach having his two bobs worth,these cnuts have nonstop put sane under the microscope in terms of its come back home or you might not be a shoe in for the national team and other blatant crap attempting to sway him...

 

[SWP's back]

Difficult to do that from the bench. Sané played many incredible games season 17/19 and even a few in 18/19 and was dropped the next match.

If he was better then he wouldn’t be on the bench.

It seems as big a factor as anything else so why not? Other players have made themselves undroppable so it’s down to himself how much he plays.

Germany is his home country,he might fancy being part of a rebuild as the star man,also his profile wil be huge and all that comes with it,it's not a backward move if he plays every single game,the draw to go to all that is understandable,we have not put him up for sale,bayern are trying it on with the lure of the above,i don't buy the attitude problems just because he a laidback style about him and he waves his arms about when a move doesn't come off,so do kev,he is what he is and a unique player in the team as he is different from the others
The national manager has told him to go there,i expect the unsaid words are or you won't get much playing time
