Serge Gnabry

[Cobwebcat]

Cancelo could also be used on the right wing in rotation with Mahrez and Foden.

It doesn’t seem right that City might be thinking this way in a season where we are likely to pick up more injuries than ever before.

Im talking in general not player specific.

No chance we spend all of Sterling's transfer fee, and wages, on a slightly worse version who is only 8 months younger.

I would genuinely rather have Leroy back.

 

[Stoned Rose]

A player Pep likes but the numbers involved sound ridiculous.

Won’t be happening then. We wont be getting bent over.

Not sure he is worse than Sterling, his stats are very good obviously inflated due to the league but still very good.

 

[doobyedoobye]

I’d be very surprised if we pay anywhere near 300K a week for this lad..

 

[King Jay]

Heavily inconsistent. I hope we don’t go for him.

It's not because of the league's it's because he's very good - as can be seen in the CL and for his national team.

Damn... I mean he’d earn less than our top players and cost €30-40m. We should have the cash for that?

Leroy has been crap since he left..

So what if we have the cash for it? This is an objectively unsound deal and we should stay away from it. No reason in the world why gnabry should be making twice as much as Phil

Don't knock it till you've tried it

Grealish/foden/berny/mahrez/alvarez/palmer

Are all available to cover the wide berths, we don't need him desperately so if he is asking daft money we can pass

We lack someone who can go past someone with pace on the outside.

Where's this wage come from about Gnabry wanting 300k. The last contract he rejected was 210k a week euros. He wanted 280k euros a week in January he's stuck to that. Where's 300k come from?

Also Gnabry is one of the best wingers in the bundesliga when he plays. He tore Dortmund apart and scored a ridiculous goal last sesaon. His work rate and speed cause problems for teams. Don't always judge a player by goals and assists. Gnabry can be devastating just from work rate and his ability to just drive past players

Leroy's already failed at our place, then failed at Bayern. It's largely because of the wrong attitude, won't be happening

Don’t judge them off the odd game either

 

[Kladze]

@tolmie's hairdoo Any other attacking players we're looking at to replace Sterling?

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

I wouldn’t take him back, but Leroy absolutely did not ‘fail’ for us.

 

[Shaffer92]

Then it's a big pass for me. No way should he come in and earn 100k-150k more than the likes of Mahrez after some solid years in the bundesliga.

 

[Thenumber1blue]

He couldn't get a start because he couldn't be arsed to put in a shift and his attitude was all wrong, he failed

 

[JewelZee]

The only stat I need for Gnabry is played 171 (mostly in a pub league) and scored 63. That's poor in my book and not good enough for an elite club like City.

He's played as a wide attacker in a 4-2-3-1 that features a prolific central striker who scores basically a goal a game...he also plays in a rotation with 2 other top level wide players so not all of his 171 appearances were as a starter...that said the numbers you just presented make him elite for players in his role...so obviously you need more than stats...you need to know what they mean...I'm not sure if we should move for him or not but your coming on here with that bullshit, tired superiority complex and trashing a guy whose played a key role on a CL winning side, a German international, etc. puts your credibility into serious question...just sayin'...
