One year left on his contract, player determined to leave, has missed the entire season injured, had been benched for the majority of the prior season’s title-deciding run-in. A pretty fair price really, annoying the injury last summer has cost us a substantial amount though.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Thats the thing. It is a fair price. So odd to see these days. All the more frustrating its Bayern to benefit.
We‘ll probably never know. Bayern’s highest earners (Neuer, Lewy) seem to be on €16m to €18m. Obviously gross.
Bayern pays good wages, also for the „average“ player. Still their wages to turnover ratio is below 50%.
I think a player like Oyarzabal would be better for Guardiola's game.

Poor Sane, having to take a substantial payrise to go play for a bigger club in his native Germany. A truly tragic tale.
Have to take Sane’s wage figure with a pinch of salt. City I’d guess are the source for the number, obviously in their interest to exaggerate it. But I doubt it’s far off.

Done deal.
This is a silly headline from the BBC.
I think Bayern is the strongest team in Europe
Ballack, Ze Roberto and Lucio from Leverkusen? Or Klose, Borowski, Ismael (Pizarro
) from Werder? Dortmund definitely wasn't the only club who lost some players to you when they had rather good teams.I guess the last few years it's not that common anymore cause no one is really challenging you anyway.
„Münich“ sounds so cute.
It's so bad„Münich“ sounds so cute.
either do it right or don't do it at all.Great signing for Bayern. He's a brilliant footballer. I still don't understand why things went wrong for him at City? He was an important part of their success. And I do think they missed him this year.
Actually sounds like a French accent speaking English. I like it.It's so bad
Not a hope. Sane is a £100m player. I can see us maybe take Coman off them for similar money, someone of that level.
I don't think things went wrong. The pull of Bayern is strong for German players.
Honestly I seriously doubt that City will sign a winger this summer.
I know a guy with that exact last name ^^„Münich“ sounds so cute.
Coman is not being sold. Bayern were in need of a winger and got Sané.
So the guy that got a City moment tattooed on his body, and has had great seasons for you, wants to leave because of the lure of Bayern? I'm not doubting that this can happen I just always it was due to issues between Pep and the player due to issues. So it's just him wanting to go back to Germany and play for the biggest club there.

It should be mentioned that our interest in Sane wasn't new. Before he went to City we were already after him but at the time Sane wanted to play under Guardiola and he also wasn't sure he'd immediatly have a place at Bayern (Ribery and Robben were still around, Müller is Müller and Coman was looking strong). Now he comes to us not as a talent but as a star player. He isn't the first player who we didn't get at first but still ended up at our club later (in case of Robben for example we tried it two times before we finally got him).
True. And no doubt Bayern have a huge lure for German players in particular. But I guess just had an impression that Sane was one of those foreign players who has really taken to City as a club, and being part of a Pep team. But regardless, them losing a talent like him is definitely good for us. As long as they keep their grubby palms away from Sancho.
They could have had Sancho, Sterling, Sane and Mahrez as their 4 wingers which would have been absurd.
great signing. I dont know why I had faint hopes we might come and steal him at the last second Tevez 2.0
wishful thinking .
wishful thinking .
So you've named 3 in a in single decade but yet you want to reduce that to one? No wonder you have no clue what I'm talking about.
And your strongest rivals in the Bundesliga are obviously German rivals for fecks sake. And why have you ignored the fact that 99.9% of Germans (like Sane) see you as the absolute pinnacle in their careers?
Fact is, if Bayern want a German player, in the vast vast vast majority of cases, they get their man. If they want a player from the Bundesliga, once again, more often than not they get them.
Ok, so essentially you're just complaining that Bayern buys in the Bundesliga now. Welp, that's going to make future transfers difficult. I guess the solution is that Bayern can only buy people that are international or literally born into club membership. This would also exclude anyone offering themselves to Bayern, of course. Ridiculous.Ballack, Ze Roberto and Lucio from Leverkusen? Or Klose, Borowski, Ismael (Pizarro
I guess the last few years it's not that common anymore cause no one is really challenging you anyway.
Wonder what he'll do with that back tattoo of him scoring for City. Best he regrets that one now.
Dortmund and other German clubs sell their players, like they did Gotze, Sahin Kagawa Lewandoski, Hummels Pulisic, Mikitaryan, Aubamenyang Gundogan Dembele soon Sancho. Every top club in Europe has bought from them, Is there a reason why Bayern should be exempt?
