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

[Neville Kneville]

During Sterling’s negotiations no other club was influencing as much. This situation is different with Bayern behaving as they are. I hope City are offering the correct pay for Leroy, none of us know. If they are and he doesn’t sign sell him.

The same attitude would have seen Sterling gone.

And some people were saying the same thing then, on both sides of the discussion.

The correct decision, was to carry on talking. If Sterling had said he wanted to go, he'd have gone.

Same with Sané now. One word to Pep & he's out.

Whilst he isn’t starting and playing regularly his value decreases that is a fact. It will be interesting to see if this changes at the start of the season

Starting & playing regularly are 2 different things. He might not do the first but stats show he does the second. As such, he’s worth far more than £75m. I’m sure David Dickinson would reassess accordingly :) :)

If he wants to leave, we don't sell to Bayern, we put it out to Real Madrid, PSG etc.

They will pay 50 mil more.

No thats Trojan ;-)

And you’re deluded if you think we are going to get Hazard type money for a player who doesn’t start regularly for his club.

Uh oh,tom is back

I don’t even think Tom would think Sané is only worth £75m in today’s market.

I am quite chilled about this one, while he has potential he only shows it in glimpses. Worse case he goes and we need to get a replacement.

The saddest thing about this is that he has put himself and the club in this situation by not kicking on as he should, he really should be one of the first names on the team sheet but he has failed to nail it down.

How about we sell him for £90 million and then use the money to go balls deep for Mbappe?

Anything to be contrary and deluded is his fav word ;)

This guy is quite aptly name. Trojan, very bad for anyone's computer.

I seem to recall that Bayern have consistently said Leroy hadn't expressed any interest, must have imagined that.

However he will also not have told them to piss off, so it is hard to say what this means.

We don't need Mbappe as good as he is and a replacement in general isn't necessary

That is a terrible source,pep said the clubs have had no contact

I assume those who didn't believe there was any Bayern interest at all are slowly, possibly, believing that there may be a smidge of it?

They have been telling us every day for about 2 mths that they are interested

Probably still some who don't believe it though

They must be blind then lol
You all know how i feel about this,it would be up there with one of our worse mistakes,pep can say it's up to him but i'm not so sure he has tried everything

I’d be surprised if there’s a team in Europe that aren’t interested in him tbh, doesn’t mean he wants to go them though.

 

[Dobsy]

It's hard to tell if he genuinely wants to go there or is using them as leverage to get more money out of City.

Also think it's an absolute piss take that Bayern have done all their talking so publicly when they'd be the the first to cry foul if anyone did that to them. They really are one of the most hypocritical and self righteous clubs out there.
