5 expensive summer signings who are still on the bench

3) Leroy Sane

Leroy Sane proclaimed by many to be the next big thing moved for a very big transfer fee to Manchester City from Schalke in the summer. The German produced sparkling performances in the Bundesliga helping the club finish in the Europan spots last time out.

Sane made everyone aware of the talent he has in a goal-frenzied game in the Champions League game against Real Madrid. Schalke won that leg 4-3 with Sane scoring a wondergoal.

Since then many clubs have submitted bids for him, but Manchester City and Pep Guardiola convinced the starlet to make the move. Unfortunately for Sane, he has had a slow start to life in Manchester.

He was not considered match fit for the first three games of the season. He had a cameo appearance in the Manchester Derby but hasn’t really featured much this season. Sterling, Nolito, Silva and Navas are higher in the pecking order.

He did start yesterday’s game against Everton and showed what he’s got but you have to believe Sterling will once again be first choice from the next game.
