It wasn't an insult. It was a direct comparison between two players who both have been labelled lazy. If Mahrez can play in this side, Sane most certainly can.

TBF you said it would be a "fucking massive upgrade" which it most definitely wouldn't be. I can't see us taking him back anyway, not even Pep can give him his speed back and that was one of his major pluses.It wasn't an insult.

maybe Pep doesnt want a dynamic winger or a maverick type?
Maybe we are all a bit mad for dreaming up what Pep might think? :-)maybe Pep doesnt want a dynamic winger or a maverick type?

We should find out if there’s any serious interest fairly soon, presumably.Look at Sané and Sterling without Pep - not overly impressive.
Look at them both under Pep though - that’s the version of Sané we’d be getting back.
Have we actually been linked or is this just wishful thinking? I’d have him back in a heartbeat.
Mahrez could be out of the door next week, and maybe even doesn’t go on pre-season if the right bid comes in today. Think we’ll move for a replacement right away given the uncertainty over Bernado, so we’ll soon see if there’s anything serious behind it.

Mahrez scored 8 goals (2 pens) last season in 39 combined PL/CL games playing wide forward in the best side in the world. IMO Sane would provide a massive upgrade on this. RWF is one of the few positions in this team that is genuinely up for grabs. I agree with you that I don’t think it will happen but given the choice, I would rather take the “gamble” on Sane, than have Mahrez there for another year.TBF you said it would be a "fucking massive upgrade" which it most definitely wouldn't be.

I'm sorry to disturb the romantic memories of 2018 and the second we all gone mad when he scored vs dippers,
but in a more realistic and 2023 view Leroy AGAIN had a very let's say mixed season. Inconsistent throughout the 4 Bayern years, with a very low level of resilience. That's no news.
Hasn't the pace and power of pre ACL, sadly. More reluctant.
Bayern fans would carry him back to City. Germany fans feel the same disappointment again and again.
This ship has sailed. Pep knows him inside out. Pep doesn't want to put an arm around players and pamper them, nor be their mum. Pep even doesn't feel responsible for the player's motivation - he expects a top attitude as the first point on the check list.
Pep hasn't been able to get the best level out of Leroy that talentwise is in him, like Kovac, Flick, Nagelsmann and Low. Hoping for the big change is not based on facts, it must be something else. Tuchel will hate Leroy's body language, that's for sure.
If we really are in the position that Leroy would be the only available alternative replacing Mahrez (who I would keep in that case) we would be in some shite. I trust Txiki and Pep to come up with a better solution going forward, not 2 steps back.
Added to that, he wouldn't even be 'cheap'. Hoeness wouldn't want to let Leroy leave, he brought him to Bayern. €60m minimum IMO.
