Leroy Sané

I like the sound of that.
Insane Sane in the membrane!

Fixed it for you!

I keep seeing posts about Sané's "Attitude problem", however his departure from City was being discussed BEFORE we even bought him...

Sané was a young player with huge potential & being German, his natural progression was to Bayern but City stole in first.

Several reports said Sané's team planned for him to do 5 years at City before moving on to the German Rags & that's exactly how it played out.

Aside from Kroos saying he needed to change his "Not arsed" body language, I'm still waiting for specific instances where he's supposed to have this bad attitude.

Having said the above, I still believe Leroy is in our past & we need to look forward. But as always, if Pep says yes...

Pep, Lowe, etc have all questioned his attitude.

I thought before his injury Sane had the ability and physicality to be one of the worlds best players, sadly his career has stalled and gone into reverse.

Injury clearly was part of that but even without that I am not sure he had the real hunger to be one of the greats.

Think we had the best of Sane. What a player, what a athlete. Joy to watch but his time has passed I think.

SHIP has sailed on him.

Insane Sane.

I've still got the tee shirt. Mind, I've still got the one with Shark Team!

The issue with naturally gifted people in general is mentality, not attitude. They have such a high level of natural ability that some believe that's all they need to succeed.

The difference between the Sané's & Ronaldo's of this world is their recognition that you have to work at honing & perfecting your natural talent.

There'll be times when an elite players' form will dip. At those times they need to dig deep & rely on endeavour & effort to bridge the lull in form, & Ronaldo, Messi etc have shown how they can progress regardless of form.

That's the issue with Sané. Sané is Sané regardless of form. He needs it drilled into him that to realise his full potential, it also requires hard graft in training & when playing. Natural talent will only get you so far at the elite level.

Nor saying we need Sane back. In fact I think it would be a bad move and I don’t expect Txiki to go for him.

However we could do with a player like Sane. Unpredictable at times, great in moments and foremost pace. Our wingers going inside makes it all very predictable and closing gaps to Haaland.

But Sane back? No.

Crying shame he went to Munich and that One horse league (Perhaps not this season? ) where he wouldn’t be really tested.

Loved him at City. Yes he had his faults but that’s wingers. He was an exciting player to watch.

Sadly this ship has sailed.

100% agree, same with all walks of life.

I guess with Sane we have the image of an electric winger - who will tear defenders apart. But I don’t think he is that same player. He’s not as quick as he was. Older. Attitude problems has followed him. Cancelo is obviously a rarer talent than Sane so I think a swap deal would be ludicrous.

On Cancelo , I’d take him back if Pep and him managed to sort there differences out. He’s the most technically gifted defender in the world for me. But it’s obvious the dressing room looks more cohesive since he’s gone and Ake has been magnificent. If the attitude problems remain get him out.


For a winger - I want some new , young and bright. Sane and Sterling was an old era of City we have transitioned.

Most technically gifted defender in the world, apart from the defending part of his game.
