Leroy Sané

[MafeotulBlue]

There are not many players that Pep treats they way he has treated Leroy since he has left and we have come head to head. I have the scene with him crying in my mind, his clear love for the club and his smiles every time he comes close to our players. I don't think Bayern would release him, but we would be stupid not to take him if we have half A chance.

A deal including Phillips?

Haha.

 

[Keeper!]

He was dropped for having an attitude. Same attitude that got him benched at City by Pep.

The truth is Sane was a young talent with potential (I.e. a Palmer type player) who acted like he was Ronaldo (i.e. the Super super team star), and he did this everywhere. At his National team and here at City.

Pep and the German coach correctly benched him. And he wasn't picked for the national team coz his attitude wasn't right

By the way, at the time he wasn't necessarily better than the players picked. He was just different (i.e a speedster and they didn't have any other options on the squad). So it would have been wise to take him. But his attitude stunk. And the manager wasn't having any of it. Neither was Pep. And I agreed with Pep at the time. So have no reason to doubt the German Manager

None of this has any relationship to playing in Germany. The starting midfield at the time (Kroos - Gundogan) both played outside of Germany, no one cared.

I'm okay with Sane and would have him back as a back up. But he wasn't bullied by anyone. You couldn't bully a young Sane if you tried. He was arrogant, self assured, moody and headstrong.

Everything he did, he wanted to do. Even the claims of his Mom pressuring him are probably overblown. Knowing his personality, he probably said he wanted to go be the star at Bayern rather than conform to this tyrant's (Pep's) rules. And his mom was simply co-signing his wishes.


No one bullied Sane. No one.

But he was a child, in a strange foreign land, you have to understand ;)

If Phillips isn’t going to London he’s not going to Munich.

I'm in the yes group

Still looks a threat in a crap Bayern team

Pace and dribbling skills - simple replacement for FFS

Playing for Bayern is bit different than playing for west ham! All that doesn't matter philips will get all this season unless pep tells him he better of going somewhere else because he likely play only 10 games at most..

Maybe Kyle wants him to hold his hand there? ;-)

Don’t think we had much choice with cancelo, just wanted him out asap! I think Walker is an important member of the squad and could be for another 1-2 seasons. Also English to helps with squad regulations. The only way german rags should be getting him is by paying an english tax like we’d have to plus another £10m on top as they are twats. So stick this £15m that’s been mentioned and say £30-35 or he goes nowhere.

15 is a fucking insult

I completely agree and Munich is a much nicer place than London too in my opinion!!

I know documentaries are produced certain ways to push narratives but after watching the Phillips one on Amazon I can’t see him moving this year. Think location and family is important for him. Also if he can’t get in a city team is he getting in a Bayern team, he probably doesn’t think so after this experience.
