Leroy Sané

[Dribble]

Pep rarely goes back, but if he believes Sané is the answer to a problem, I’m sure he’ll take him back.

I won’t hold my breath, even though he’s the best natural left winger I’ve seen in sky blue over my 60 yrs.

Peter Barnes?

 

[MadchesterCity]

It's still a no from me!

 

[Dribble]

So will his children as they all live in Manchester so will get Daddy home all week instead of him just living in Manchester on his days off.

Would be a good Mahrez replacement signing (I have a feeling Mahrez is on his way out).

Mahrez said a couple of days ago he's got two years left on his contract & will see it out...

Peter Barnes?

Good question, loved both.

 

[Haaland94]

For me, he made his choice when he wanted to get out, drove his price down, and used us to develop and move on to where he thought the grass was greener. Besides, we have since moved on from that sort of player. I don't think he is any better than he was, and maybe not even that level. He had moments of brilliance, but he's a sort of shiny player who looks good in the highlights on YouTube, but I don't think he is all that over 90mins. Good player, but I would want someone younger with a top-notch attitude. Once upon a time, I thought he would turn into that player, but he is 27 now and never made that step. We need players with the mindset of Ruben Dias, etc., not Sane.

To be fair, him going to Bayern at the end if his City contract was always the plan.

I recall this being said when we signed him. Five years in Manchester followed by a dream move to the German Rags.

He's improved, but unfortunately, he's not kicked on to the levels everyone thought he would...

 

[domalino]

He can play both wings, still has electric pace, is a great secondary goalscorer and will put balls on a plate for Haaland.


He’d be a very useful squad player, we miss a bit of real pace and directness at the moment, but I don’t see him as a superstar that’ll start 50 matches a season.

Will Sané settle for this & accept he'll have to fight for his place though?

All things considered, especially with his family living & settled in Manchester, I'd say yes.

Akanji came in as an eleventh hour signing when we had Laporté & Dias out injured, Aké recovering from injury & then to compound matters Stones got injured too.

Few expected him to be anything more than a squad player, but he's proved everyone wrong! My player of the season by a country mile. I don't think we'd have had the season we have without him.

All of this for FIFTEEN FUCKIN MILLION QUID! What a Txiki masterstroke! :-)

I’d welcome him back with open arms but not sure the move makes much sense given our playing style.

As long as he understands he'll be rotation for teams that require that kind of unlokcing. the back 5 look solid as fuck, (with gvardiol/kova in the mix) the front 5 in movement and transition could be a decent split.

Control (back 5) Chaos (Front 5)
