Leroy Sané

[cucumberman]

37m for a winger like Sané is actually a bargain. I honestly thought the fee would have been £45m

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

The dippers paid about £30m for sadio mane; the market has gone up in price exponentially; £37m is not that bad at all for one of the most promising young talents in Europe

Also another thing people are forgetting; we have pep flipping guardiola; this is the highest profile manager we have ever had in our entire history and to not secure his desired targets over a few million would be unbelievably foolish; we can't let this window of time with pep slip away when it comes to player recruitment

Exactly, as discussed earlier in the thread Benteke was £32m, a year ago, without the hike in TV money !

Liverpool paid over £80m for Andy Carrol and Benteke in the last four years!

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

Pointless bothering about the fee. If it is high then the media will go on the usual anti-City rant about FFP, buying trophies and ruining football. If the fee is low, it's because the player isn't as good as we believe and that the Sheikh is losing interest in the game and is no longer ready to bankroll the club. I could be wrong but I just know that the Same transfer will be reported more in criticism than in praise because that is how the media treat City these days.

Mane is very good, mind. One of the most exciting players in the Prem at times last season

For a winger who so far has scored 37 goals in 68 career games, £37m is an absolute bargain

Wow that's a very good stat for a young and upcoming player.

Them fucking dippers, inflating the market again ;-)

If the Rags are paying what is alleged for Pogba then can't see us paying £37m for any player is going to be looked at as wasting money or footballs gone mad

Football went mad years ago

Anyway has he signed yet

That's my point though; 5 years ago £30m got you seriously high class players, now it gets you just a good player; people need to start realising what sort of market climate we are in
