You're usually one of the more balanced posters on this forum, so this seems very out of character.
Why would you want players staying here because they felt like they had to because otherwise the club would fuck them over? Do you really think that's going to get the best out of those players? Not only that De Bruyne and Sterling are two of the leaders of this team and you want to undermine the trust, appreciation and respect the management team have taken years to build up, just to scare them.
Likewise with Bernardo and Laporte, why undermine the appreciation we show those guys to keep Sane, it doesn't make sense.
It's one player (Sane) who wants to leave, let it go, the club is bigger and better than one player. We're not desperate, we don't need to lower ourselves to Bayern's standards, we do things properly.
You misunderstand. I wouldn't want any player staying who didn't want to be here.
Sane doesn't want to here, doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer the club were able to receive his truer value if there was more left on his contract.
We set an example when we refused to sanction Sanchez's wage demands, sometimes clubs need to send messages that go beyond the here and now.
Loyalty should always be club first.
