Its not though is it. Went on to better without him,he clearly wasn't missed . Engage brain first next time
All of them were in the league, the clue would be the bit that said PREMIER LEAGUE and then the number of appearances, though I can see why you would think stats would be bollocks.How many of them were in the league and what you showing me stat bollocks for,as if he was ever 1st choice. Didn't mind losing him wasn't good enough. That's the bottom line

Just for info, the last set of numbers are appearances and goals from all competitions, so the not ever first choice Leroy Sane played 49 and 47 appearances in two different seasons.
My other post, if you have not seen it, says he played an average of 68 minutes a game for City throughout his time here, again suggesting he played plenty enough for a scrub.
Don’t let stats get in the way of someone’s dislike of a player.Sane's stats while at City. Clearly started more than he was on the bench:
Played 135
Started 101
Sub On 34
Sub Off 46
Unused 25
Goals 39
Assists 44
Those just relate to PL.
I think most people saw the "potential" as well as his flashes of brilliance.The amount of people on this thread who were pushing for the club to bring him back was puzzling to me. As you said, he wasn't consistent, particularly after the 17/18 season, when he was brilliant for us. If he could produce that level of performance 7 or 8 games in every 10, I'd have been all in favour of him coming back. But he was never likely to do that. In his last season with us that he was fully fit he wasn't an automatic, guaranteed starter. Pep benched him a few times, IIRC. And as long as Pep was going to be here, he was unlikely to bring Leroy back. I'm pretty sure he wasn't happy with the way Sane (and his mother) engineered the move to Bayern.
Is his maw the German FA..lolI genuinely believe that if Sane had stayed and been consistently pushed, by Pep and in the PL, he could have reached Ballon D’or levels. Unfortunately he was bullied by the German FA into signing for Bayern, and the sense is that he has coasted along ever since. He has obviously had a good career, but it could have been much more.
correct! left out of Germanys 2018 WC squad as he wasn't playing in Germany at the time and Bayern desperately wanted him, turned his head as a young lad you want to represent your countryI genuinely believe that if Sane had stayed and been consistently pushed, by Pep and in the PL, he could have reached Ballon D’or levels.

That was just not the reason. Sane did not match as good into the tactics with the national team as he did at City. There was tactical reasons for that, too - but you do not change Kroos' role for a youngster if you have Marco Reus as the starter for that position.correct! left out of Germanys 2018 WC squad as he wasn't playing in Germany at the time and Bayern desperately wanted him, turned his head as a young lad you want to represent your country
I don't really know what there was not to like about Leroy, a really exciting, exceptionally talented player who was a major component of arguably our best ever team.Don’t let stats get in the way of someone’s dislike of a player.
