Leroy Sané

[Thaksinssoldier]

That's fair. My point being, Sané stood head and shoulders above the other Bayern players in that leg - even though we reduced them to fuck all otherwise.

Whilst being played through the middle.

If Pep got him again I'd wager he'd be savage.

 

[SouthernPlastic]

He was a lazy arrogant twat. If you can’t see that then fine. Pep would never have him back. I stand by that.

Pep won’t have him back, but purely out of principle for never going back. Not based on his attitude or his ability.

bayern don't want cancelo

All the reports I see say Tuchel is keen to bring him in and club are willing

I wouldn’t question his ability. I don’t recall Pep doing so, but Pep regularly questioned his application and attitude ..

To be fair, earlier in our Tr3bl3 season, Pep questioned the attitude of the whole squad & singled out several players for criticism.

He did similar the season when Fernandinho first became Captain, leading Fern to call a private meeting with the players around the Xmas, where he gave it to em straight & in no uncertain terms...

IIRC, that's when we went on a record breaking run to claw back the league.

People calling Leroy a lazy player with a bad attitude is no different to the "Oil money club who buy success & are FFP cheats who fund terrorism" narrative constantly levelled at City.

Keep repeating a false narrative enough & it'll take on a life if its own becoming the truth in some people's minds, even though these falsehoods tend to be short on any supporting evidence.

Rather have Olise

Can’t see pep taking Leroy back
Always started well at the start of the season but really didn’t hold that form for a full season.
When called out he couldn’t take the criticism and sulked which affected his game even more.
This team should keep evolving not start reminiscing like the rags.
Thanks for the memory Leroy but you wanted out and got your wish, that’s the risk you take.

I do like the look of Olise tbf.

 

[Keeper!]

Er… what does that mean, exactly?
I note in passing that a train leaves the station, gets to its terminus. And it comes back again.

By the way, I should specify that I'm never normally favourable to bringing players back who've left. Even the great Shaun W-P, it didn't really work second time around, did it? But you've got to consider circumstances, and take every case on its merit.
Anyway, this is all hypothetical. He hasn't said he wants to leave Bayern, as far as I know, and we haven't said we want him.
It is, to use a choice word, a nugatory discussion. Not to say otiose.

Would he leave Bayern on 1/3 rd of his present salary?

Because if we were remotely interested that would probably be the reality for him.

I mean... I think we will need a right winger pretty soon...
