Every year Man City seem to sell £30m-£40m worth of academy players that got nowhere near the first team. Most usually go to Southampton ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Those figures do support something I remember reading earlier this season - that we could be well positioned to spend a decent amount this summer. If we're at #7 in terms of revenue before things like the Sela deal, the CL income and the Adidas sponsorship come into play then that should give us some flexibility once we move into the 24/25 accounting period.

Guest Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 It's a bit shite like. Wonder if the wildcard sale could be Joelinton maybe? Someone would surely fancy him for £50-60m? Top that up with selling Targett, Wilson and Krafth or someone to get us £100m. Would that leave much to spend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being of a certain age I remember the sorrow I felt at "losing" Alan Kennedy and Supermac. More recently Andy Cole. Even tho we're a "project" & the team will "evolve" & Eddy Howe himself has admitted some favourites may have to depart along the way, I'd be gutted if either of the Brazilian lads left.

Gutted, I tell thee Aye, just sad the spine of the side that has taken us this far won't be together to see it out, especially when Botman, Bruno and Isak are elite. It's not like we're going to have to sell because they've outgrown us, it'll be because fucking FFP. Shit man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Longstaff and Anderson have to be prime contenders because it's pure profit (just depends how well covered we are with all the HG stuff, I have no idea). Then whatever you can cobble together from Almiron, Wilson and Targett. Willock might be on the table too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to be in Europe though we have things like home grown and domestic quotas to think of. I'd fuming if Bruno, either Joe or Isak were sold unless it's for ridiculous money. £150 million plus. With Joelinton I don't think there's a midfielder with his physicality in world football.

Paully Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 This FFP needs hoyed in the bin - it’s simply protecting the bellend ‘big six’ and making it impossible for the rest to constantly compete at the top! It’s a totally anti-competitive rule and the other 14 teams need to get together and challenge it in court! In which other industry would the wealthiest business not be allowed to recruit the best staff for the biggest money! Corrupt wankers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool did when they were first making their way back to relevance. Alonso, Torres and Coutinho spring to mind. City rely on massive commercial revenue and selling academy prospects.

Scoot Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 FFP is shit and selling 1 of our star players isn't ideal but all clubs sell players. We haven't really since the new owners came in so it's hardly surprising. We all know that money will be reinvested in the playing squad and as long as we keep increasing revenues like we are, we'll continue moving upwards.

Miggys First Goal Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 This might be a reality check for some fans (nobody on here, I don't think) who believe we should be top 4 and cup finalists every season. It's a project. A journey. And we're just at the beginning. Things will come. Things will happen eventually. We will have trophies in our future. Just enjoy the ride.

Turnbull2000 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Average wage of nearly 100k seems very high. Surprised at that. Can't say I'm very hopeful for the next few years if we're already hitting a financial ceiling. Edited January 11 by Turnbull2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
