Leroy Sané

[HelloCity]

Best left winger City had in the past decade.


I think his main problem was not being able to smile to Pep while he was on the bench.

Funny how all his problems followed him to Bayern while Pep stayed here in Manchester.

Much as it ain't happening, I'd be quite happy if it did. Unsettling an unhappy player and then underbidding for him would make for delicious irony.....

In all honesty Mahrez has ended up having the career at City we wanted Sane to have.

Which is funny considering Sane's missus hated Mahrez's missus. Almost like she knew Sane's game time was going to Mahrez. That probably triggered the move along with the $$$.

For Sane the move to Bayern worked out financially as he got more than KDB.

For City and Pep it worked out though as Mahrez has justified his selection and at a fraction of Sane's salary.

I don't think Sane will come back unless the only way for us to get rid of Cancelo for good is to swap for Sane.

Why would Mahrez who has played all his games for City on the right affect Sane who played all his City career on the left.

Why would Mahrez who has played all his games for City on the right affect Sane who played all his City career on the left.

Because Sterling was never going to get dropped. It meant that only one of Mahrez or Sané could play.

I love him, but not sure hes the same player we had. They always say never go back....I assume thats for a reason, I dont know ffs ;)

He's 27 and realistically isn't likely to get much better than he is now. The player he could've been at age 23 was a scary prospect, now not so much. Another career damaged because the player convinced themselves they were too good to fight for a place with us.

27 ain't even peak age

The reason he couldn’t cement a starting place was that for every game he was unplayable there were 20 games he was anonymous..

He left to go to a one club league and has been unable to stand out there, to the point Bayern would let him go, so it’s impossible to understand what some people think he would offer today.

I wouldn't have him back - but I'd put a tenner on him having one of those "one in twenty" games against us, it's still the way things have a habit of going :)

Sane was a player that had you on the edge of your seat. In full pomp he was a joy to watch, pace, power and a clinical finisher. I will never forget his 1st performance against Arsenal in the League when we beat them 3-0 at the Emirates in March 2018, he was unplayable in those 45 mins and destroyed them.

I was gutted when he left, but City have moved on and I don't think we should look to buy him back.

 

[RayCTID]

He is not the same player since he left City. I don't think we have the time or patience to rehabilitate him

It is for a player that relies on pace. Fast players peak are normally in their mid 20’s.
