Leroy Sané

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

We only have room for 3 if we don’t register Rodri and Echeverri. If we do then we only have 1 space.

limit of 3 changes to the squad as well for CL. so we aint going nuts.

Can only see one at the most in January. Probably a CM .

Sane in his pomp at City was a joy to watch and a very good winger who not only had pace but was a decent finisher.

Injuries have not been kind to Leroy, I wish him well for the future , but this ship has sailed for me.

Having checked there are currently 15 free slots taken up, 4 homegrown slots and 3 homegrown club trained. This is based on champions league squad. 22 total.

I have not included, Bobb or Echeverri.

Bobb would take the remaining 4th homegrown club trained spot and based on his injury comeback plan one would expect that to happen. That leaves 2 free spots.

Rodri is a question mark for 2nd half of season but City don’t need to make a decision until the cut-off time for later stages of CL, so may depend if it looks likely he can play a part in the end of season matches. If not included will free up another spot making potential for 3 if we use all 25 spots.

Echeverri, the club have said they want him to be at City in January. That position may change if City feel another signing would be more important.

So 2 free spots if don’t include Rodri and 3 if not including Echeverri in squad.

EDIT: Rodri was already included in CL squad for first half of season so edited above.

And the current version? He's four years older now, he suffered that dreadful injury and, as you admit, his form has dropped off a cliff in the intervening period. He won't be the Leroy of the centurions season.

I wouldn't want Sane back, He's nowhere near the player he was at City, I genuinely think his name would have been mentioned along with the likes of Zaba, Vinny, Yaya ect had he stayed with us, He was sensational.

I actually thought he had one of his better games for Bayern against us in the Champions League in 2023, He caused us all sorts of problems. I would have liked him to do well at Bayern, I think most City fans would want him to succeed as we've a lot of time for him.

I don't have any hatred for him (struggling to think of any ex player that I "hate"). He seemed to be influenced by his mother (or was it his girlfriend?) to move back to Germany. Like you, I wouldn't have him back now. He's not the player he was. What's that old saying; never go back, is it? Look at Ilkay; he's a shadow of the player he was two or three seasons back.

spots wise yes, but you can only make 3 changes, we couldn't sell 5 buy 5 and register them all etc. its 3 in at max regardless. lucky we;re right on the brink.

There is a saying “never go back”. We got Gundogan back and I was delighted, but so far he hasn’t performed. Sane wanted out, so can’t imagine City wanting to trust him

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Signing Leroy Sane would be the most rag thing of the rags to do.

 

[Tevez City]

Start him on the left, and he will have more goals & assists than Grealish
