Sané > Sterling any day.

Still not sure how Pep's system / tactical approach will play to Sané's strengths though.

Let's not talk about Pep's sysytem before he succesfully implemented something.

It's still very likely - to say the least - that he won't change his entire approach or philosophy at his new club, isn't it?

well, he will want sane to win 1 on 1 situations on the flanks above all

I think he has to, really does not have the players (yet) for his system really. But we will see.

And at Bayern he did? LOL

Any Bayern winger > any City winger, Sané included.
Thiago, Kroos, Alonso, Schweinsteiger > any City CM when it comes to passing precision + build-up skills, except if Pep relocates Silva's position to C(A)M.

So yes... Bayern had and currently still has the second best squad - after Barca of course - to implement Pep's system.

The only thing Pep was missing at Bayern would have been another CB with the physical abilities and pace of Boateng. Benatia, Martinez, Alonso are simply not made for a position like that.

EDIT:

Don't get me wrong on this one though. I'm not trying to bash City players... there might be players who outperform Bayern players in different systems and formations... only talking about Guardiola's philosophy and style.

Yeah so basically Bayern did not have the team for peps system since they did fuck all in the CL.

Also 2 of the players you listed were not at bayern last year, Thiago was a barca reject/bench player, and Alonso is too old (and another reject/too old for his old club)

Also Robben does not fit his system at all. His system is to "pass" not to take the ball always on the left foot and shoot. Douglas Costa is a good player tho.
