You're quoting stats that actually disprove your own point, because Sane has 0 goals and 1 assist in 12 games for the national team, therefore contributing less than any of the players you have mentioned above.

And on the subject of age, this is completely irrelevant at international level ... what is needed in tournament football is instant results and ideally (not all the time) experience.

Despite Ozil getting a lot of abuse since he's been at Arsenal, he has consistently been one of Germany's best players in the last few tournaments and if you suggested to any German that he be replaced by Sane I think they'd probably think you were inSane.

You have excelled yourself with some of the bull**** you have come out with on here.
Do you honestly think Low would have kept this job for 12 years if he was a scam? World Cup winner not Championship Manager winner.
This may come as a surprise to you but I personally rate Low more of a manager than you and if he feels Sane isn't ready for his squad that will do for me.
To say they had no-one to beat in 2014 is ridiculous

Getting too close to the World Cup to be interested in players that the Germans haven’t picked. F*ck em. All about England. Kane top goal scorer and England to win the World Cup double. Put your house on it. It’s coming home , it’s coming home
Even named our new puppy ‘pickles’ just in case the cup goes missing.

Sane is clearly a talented player but to suggest he’s at his maximum level already is ridiculous. He still has so much to learn with decision making and more importantly tactically, at 22 years old it is impossible to have learnt everything therefore meaning he is not at his maximum potential – you only have to watch him against Fosu-Mensah at Selhurst and both legs against Liverpool in the Champions League to realise there’s still a lot for him to improve on.

A quick browse online and it seems it’s not just his football that has kept him out the squad:

I can understand some in this country viewing Sane's omission with incredulity given his performances for Man C.

Sane started both of Germany's recent friendles against Brazil and Austria and they lost both games.Presumably if he had sufficiently impressed Low he would have been selected - Low did say it was a close call and he sees players play for both club and country.

Low has been criticised on here - Under him, Germany have not failed to reach at least a semi-final in 5 tournaments and is the first coach of a European country to win the WC in S.America.He actually might know something about coaching and selecting players at International level !

No I don't share your viewpoint at all about Low and his record with Germany
Totally disagree with you on this.

And to reach the CL Semi-finals in successive seasons is still a worthy achievement given the quality of the teams.

Clearly you believe that any manager can achieve titles on a regular basis if that team is somewhat high-profile.Perhaps Real Madrid will go for FDB !

To save you further embarrassment by constant hole digging, I shall agree to disagree with you and concentrate my efforts on other subjects rather than respond to any of your further dis-crediting of the German national team manager.We have both made our views patently clear, we are on 'Opposite sides of the house' so there is really nothing of any value to add.
