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

[jayfx]

That kind of remark has been said so many times over the years (insert name of player no longer with us (or any other team)), and it will be said over and over again in the future. Life goes on and we will survive with or without him

It goes without saying that'll we'll survive without him but will we miss him? I believe, yes we will.

When does the German transfer window shut?

We will only miss him if he wants to be here

2nd September

Does that even make sense?

I only want him to stay if he wants to be here. If he goes (whether he wants to be here or not) we're down some excellent talent from last year. I hope he wants to stay because we'll miss him.

 

[doobyedoobye]

I dont think he will be missed as much if Mendy can get fit and healthy

 

[Coatigan]

My prediction - you heard it here first.
Stays & signs new contract in November

some have ready said that. two even have a bet on.
i'd tend to think i'd agree though.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Never , ever, keep a player that doesnt want to stay. Rotten apples and all that.

I hope he does want to stay, i believe with the right application he could be one of the best in the world.
But if his heart is set on Bayern then we make sure we get top dollar and we move on

 

[CityStu]

I don't believe wanting to stay/leave is binary. He's probably pretty happy at City, but also thinks he could be happy at Bayern on much higher wages. It's not like he's fallen out with the manager/squad here.

Mail reporting that Bayern are looking at Bale as an alternative. Hope that's true from them for once.

Probably get him for nothing on loan and then will come back for Sane next year looking for a 90% discount as its his final year.

That's hilarious.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

That's hilarious.

I know, but as long as it winds up the obnoxious Bayern journos and fans on social media.

I doubt it's true, but I also doubt Madrid would loan without the guarantee to buy.

 

[waspish]

If they dont get sane they”ll get a stop gap player and go for sane next season where they will expect to get him for around 60m

 

[BLUE THUNDER]

If he was going to leave then it would have happened by now.

German Rags wont stump up the cash, they want a "bargain" and that aint happening.

He'll sign a better deal with us over the next few months. That's where I believe it's headed. No way Sane is sitting on two years at low wages to run out his contract with the risks that entails.

They did with James to Bayern, Real just want rid of the dark cloud over the club and free up Bales wages so they can go for a last minute Pogba deal.

Sat on his 60k a week for the last 18 months he knows what ever happens he is going to be a very wealthy man.

You have to remember that until he has signed that €380k/week deal he is just 1 bad tackle away from it all going away, even in training.

It's not a nice situation to be in.

Zidane doesn't like Bale, if he goes he wants him out permanently.
