Draxler and Sane should do for a while I guess. As long as Draxler leaves in the winter.
Leroy Sane watch | Feb 2020: Returning to fitness with City's U23s
- Thread starter rimaldo
- Start date
Should start more.
Why is he so fast in FIFA? I thought he was a Mahrez-esque player in terms of pace. Quick with the ball but not Walcott/Bale pacey.
Along with De Bruyne, the player I'd love to see at United. A joy to watch.
He is faster than Mahrez.
Wow, have you never seen him sprint? He's stupidly fast once he gets into his stride. Another great game from him today, the talent we have right now with B Silva, Sterling, Jesus and Sane is ridiculous.
Fastest in the league, I think. Watch his goal against Arsenal last time they met. He made Bellerin look like a tortoise.
Yep, and half of them aren't starters. Shame Foden or Brahim couldn't get on but guess the game was too close to risk them. They should have a better chance of minutes against Wolves.
Would love to see him at UTD as a RW. I'd rather UTD spunk 80M on sane than Griezmann.
Imagine:
Imagine:
Lukaku
Martial...........................L.Sane
As our front line and Rashford as backup to any of them.Martial...........................L.Sane
Im glad I'm not the only one not too fussed about griezmann. A top player but a bit over valued due to his love for United which is actually a love for Beckham. I'd much prefer finding a player like sane since we obviously can't get the guy
We're obviously never going to be able to land Sané, so we'll have to settle for someone like Gelson Martins of Sporting.
He's obviously been practicing his curlers to the keepers' right.
MOTM again today. He's such an underrated talent. He's only 21, yet he's rarely mentioned in conversations about youth.
Why is B.Silva not playing much since the start of the season ? How has been anyway ? A good talent that I predicted would waste his time and career at City.
Sane, Martial, Rashford, Jesus... All 21 or younger. Could be that Manchester is the most talented U-21 city in Europe, no?
He's a complete winger. Whether it's going wide and crossing it, cutting inside and finishing, drifting around the final third, he can do it. Unselfish when he needs to be and selfish at the right times.
Settling into a new league and competing with a lot of players for his position, it's only natural he has not had too many minutes so far. He's shown his talent in glimpses but also clearly needs to adjust to the league's pace and physicality. He'll have more than enough game-time to prove himself worthy of a regular slot in the starting XI, but right now Sterling, Sane, Jesus, Aguero, Silva and KdB are delivering the goods.
Depends if Guardiola sees him as David's successor or not.
He is a G.Jesus, Martial, Rashford level of talent, doesn't get half the attention they do though.
Sane is 21? That's incredible! No one that age should be this good!
Yeah he's not 22 until January. Ridiculous talent.
I hope he gets to show some of that at the World Cup next year 
Joachim Löw was at the Etihad today.I hope he gets to show some of that at the World Cup next year
All the reasons I made that bold prediction. I could be completely wrong in a few months time.
City struck gold with Sane and Jesus. Any of them would cost 100M+ in the current market.
What's the rationale behind your prediction?
Maybe that he's good and talented enough to be a guaranteed starter and it looks like he's very far from it in your club?
Great goal and a few assists to boot. He did miss a sitter though from a 1 on 1 but the keeper made a decent save. Interesting to see if he gets the nod against Chelsea.
Gets to train with players better than him everyday at playing his style of game, under a manager who's game suits that kind of player. I'm sure his career will do just fine. He's also made 7 appearances in 8 games.
Not so much of a rationale but more like a feeling, too many similar players to him performing better than him. Not really sure that City will have patience if say other promising players are available in the futur transfer windows.

For me, due to the type of player he is, he's probably my favorite of the current young crop of talents emerging across Europe (putting rivalries aside obviously). It's quite rare to see a left-footer playing left forward/wing for a top side these days. I'm sure the comparison has already been made earlier in the thread, but he kind of reminds me of a young Giggs.
Well come back and gloat on the day your prediction comes true. Until then, I'll say bollocks.
Btw, David Silva is coming up to 32. Bernado Silva is only just turned 23. Which player has the brighter future at City? He's come to City specifically to work under Guardiola. I think he's going to do just fine.
Why would I gloat
? I gain nothing from being right or wrong...Fair enough. Let me rephrase it then:Why would I gloat
I think your prediction that "B.Silva would waste his time and career at City" is nonsense.
Of course you would. Everything said in a negative light about City is seen as some sort of confrontation. Time will tell.
I hope pep tears into him for his greedy selfish attitude tonight.
I don't think he should tear into him, but he was greedy and should be spoken to, especially late in the second half when he did so well to cut in then shot when Sterling was free. You can do that when you're already winning comfortably but not at 1-0. A very positive performance from him again though, his selfishness and horrific dive aside.
If you put club bias aside he really is an enjoyable player to watch. Most young attackers now tend to want to move into the middle after a while but he looks like he relishes being on the flank.
Just a little fact here. Leroy Sane has clocked the fastest sprint since Premier League records began.
The Blues ace was recorded running at 35.48 kilometres per hour (22.05 mph) in the 1-0 win at Chelsea, which outstripped the previous fastest, by Jamie Vardy in the 2015-16 season.
To put that in perspective, if Sane could sustain that pace over 100 metres, he would have qualified for the semi-finals at the last Olympic.

It seems once every few months someone breaks the sprint speed record.
