Leroy Sane - 2016/2017 performances

[Mike N]

I'd like to see him start on Saturday and given 70 minutes.

He is very comfortable with the ball, has amazing close ball control. Excited to see his potential.

I like him, he's shown more intelligence on the ball than I saw from him at Schalke so far.

Watched this kid a number of times last season and thought what an addition he would be to Peps younger generation for the future. Well he's now a blue and I can see him being a favourite of ours for many years to come. May take him a while to adjust and mature but he is without any doubt one of the best young prospects in world football.

 

[Guardiola's Disciple]

Offers a direct threat from the wings which is great to see. Great ball control, pace and dribbling and we know that he can finish as well. Basically, he's a Sterling in the making. We need to give him a full game to see what level he is at now.

We have an absolutely astounding plethora of young talents coming through, many of which have their nation's hopes pinned on them. Genuine wonderkids.
England: Sterling, Stones, Roberts
Brazil: Gabriel Jesus
Germany: Sané
Turkey: Ünal
Nigeria: Iheanacho
Colombia: Moreno
Ukraine: Zinchenko
Spain: Brahim

Add to that other uber talented youngsters like Aleix Garcia (who I think will become a world class deep lying playmaker), Manu Garcia, Maffeo, Angeliño, Adarabioyo, Denayer, Gunn, Faupala, Celina, Sancho, Kigbu, Foden, Diallo, Lorenzo Gonzalez and Colin Rosler. It's really quite mad. We even have one each of Ireland and Australia's biggest hopes in Aaron Mooy and Jack Byrne.

If even a third of these players reach their potential we'll have ourselves a footballing and marketing GOLDMINE.

The future's bright. The future's blue.

It didn't feel much like it at the time, but this summer's acquisitions have been amazing!! Why it didn't feel like that this summer for me was the fact we were keeping many players I considered past it like Kolarov, Zabaleta, Toure etc. I was also gutted that we sent Nasri out on loan because I think he'd thrive in this environment, but fair play to Pep & Txiki, we certainly seemed to have stepped up to the mark this transfer window.

I saw a brief glimpse of Sane in the Euro's and I could instantly tell he had a goal threat about him. His debut performance was understandable as he'd had a long lay off & was playing his first match for his new team in a new country, but what he did for Kelechi's goal was simply world class make no mistake about that.

It's early days and he's still a kid who's still learning his trade, but his future looks bright. It's unbelievable to think we got Sane, Moreno & Jesus for less than the Salford's paid for Pogba! Maureen is already making excuses for him saying the price ManUre paid for Pogba was relative to their financial turnover, so pro rata Pogba cost ManUre less as a percentage of their turnover than many clubs who've spent £20m-£30m-£40m on players.

Fuckin bollocks!!! £93m plus £20m in agents fees is still £113m in my book whichever way Maureen tries to explain it. It must be fucking killing them!! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! :-)

IMO you're slightly underestimating him, to say the least, mate. Maybe I'm mistaken, you never know with these youngsters, but for now I reckon him the most talented player in our squad. Watched him for the whole last season, he's had become my favourite European prospect a few months before the first signs of City' interest. He's much more than just a pure winger potentially, very messi-esque with his skills and movement. His close ball-control is exceptional, Sterling is nowhere near, though I agree that Raheem is more mature and experienced atm.
I think he's the only player who does more nutmegs than Messi (though I'm not sure about the stats) :)

Fair enough since you have seen him much more than me. Indeed, in his brief cameo against the Germans I liked his play more so than Sterling's, but was hesitant to give him too much praise. Either way, can't wait to see him against Swansea.

 

[Delphacito]

Give him a start already Pep!

Give him a start already Pep!

I imagine that'll happen midweek.
