Leroy Sané

[Ric]

Reckon it will be announced today?

Wouldn't like to say mate. Some people can get apoplectic if things don't happen within the expected timescales! I've seen his shirt though, so presumably they've either done or are doing the photo shoot.

@mossideblue yeah of course we all do, your average fan is very fickle nowadays.

Iheanacho
Sterling Sané
M. Garcia
Zinchenko A. Garcia
Angelino Adarabioyo Stones Maffeo
Gunn

That U23 team wouldn't look out of place in the Championship.

Good stat but I don't think Pellegrinis system last year was conducive to taking defenders on whatsoever

Tell me about it,very frustating for us and no doubt the players, especially sterling

That's a great shout that mate...you have to say if we can keep hold of all of these and keep them sweet then we got a great batch waiting in the wings.

Successful take-ons last season. [@Squawka]

Leroy Sané (92)
J. Navas (48)
R. Sterling (41)
K. De Bruyne (36)

A good example of stats not telling the whole picture.

Sané looks miles ahead from that - but if you look at how many of those take-ons were successful...


Navas 68.6%
KDB 58.1%
Sterling 51.9%
Sané 46.2%

Exactly; sterling was great under Rodgers when given the licence to get forward and wreak havoc in 2013/14; I have no doubt that pep will make sure he is allowed to get forward like kimmich and Coman were at Bayern :)

Thanks for those,i guess with navas being 10yrs older it shows his experience,probably a vain hope that we are patient with sane

Yeah, no worries mate, cheers for the info.

Personally think it will be announced tomorrow, City prefer the early morning announcements.

Am I missing something here?
The stats showed "successful take-ons".
So 46.2% of Sane's "successful take ons" were unsuccessful?

No, sorry I phrased it slightly wrong. The stats show 92 successful take ons, but of all his take-ons only 46% were succesful - so he attempted 200.

Navas was succesful in 48/70 attempts.
