It does but signed a 3 year deal in 2023 so only 18 months left maybe a factor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 1 hour ago, healthyaddiction said: That's part of the problem though isn't it. They buy Alvarez, don't actually play him that much and then sell him for triple what they bought him. They then use that money to buy Khusonov and Vitor Reiss, will again sell them in a few years for double or triple. It's why Liverpool fans going on about their net spend is nonsense. It's all a lot easier when you've already got a massive squad filled with valuable players you don't even need. Man City used Alvarez loads, one of the reasons for their drop off. And for all of Man City recent stuff, they have made some seriously bad buys which will come at losses and they’ve decimated their youth team so will need to wait a few years to be able to sell again on same scale. They will be restricted in coming seasons unless they move on O’Riley, McAtee, Savinho for good money. But then their squad is aging so can’t afford to lose them.

From their academy alone the last two summer windows: Palmer - £43m Charles - £10m Trafford - £15m Forbs - £12m Harwood-Bellis - £20m Delap - £15m That's £115m of pure profit PSR wise. They can spend a fortune off the back of that alone and that's not even including the Alvarez deals plus the sales of Mahrez/Laporte/Cancelo to Saudi. They are golden for a while yet.

He played loads last season because of De Bruyne and Haaland's injuries. ALvarez's whole reason for leaving was to be a first team regular and not back up for Haaland.

They can spend a fortune off the back of that alone and that's not even including the Alvarez deals plus the sales of Mahrez/Laporte/Cancelo to Saudi. They are golden for a while yet. They will drop off soon and in that time they’ve signed Kovacic, Doku, Nunes for £135m, all who won’t have much of a market to recoup unless Saudis bail them out. Ederson, Ake, Stones, Akanji, Walker, Gundogan, KDB, Silva, Kovacic and Grealish. That’s a big group of players where Ederson aside, the sales are likely not there for good money. So need to find funds from somewhere in coming seasons and they can’t keep selling off the youth. Bobb / McAtee / O’Riley / Lewis all need to be key squad players and pathways open for them over next 18 months or they will be fucked. Do think Pep will hold the side together next season, but when he goes, people will act shocked at the drop off because the squad is overlooked.

They have a £260m head start of us each season regardless of what they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagPar Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 What makes West Ham think that Dhuran would be interested in going there? It's utter madness.

joeyt Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 9 hours ago, r0cafella said: Romano linking Kayode to Brentford, has he been bad this season or something? Was meant to be an elite talent. Brentford have agreed a deal with Fiorentina to sign Michael Kayode. It is an initial loan until the summer with an optional £13.5m (€16m) purchase clause. Seems cheap for a highly rated talent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loving it. Hopefully West Ham come back with a £80m bid and get that turned down too. Edited January 21 by Shearergol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
