Balance Sheet

[harvo the blue]

I can see Mangala staying & everything left over is Mbappa or nobody.

 

[Blue Coop]

I see nobody on Redcafe has mentioned that Uniteds net spend is now equal to City's, after giving Pep stick all summer.

 

[Marvin]

Transfrtmkt got different figures. They have forgotten about Nitcham

Don't know who is right. Supect Bluemoon's figures are right as I have seen some strange figures on there, but bbc seem to use them.

And a lot higher if you value Lukaku tranfer at £90m which is what they are going to pay seeing as the add on is based on 'easily achievable addons'

 

[FantasyIreland]

Unal,Mooy and Kelechi - 50m

Fantastic business.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Unal,Mooy and Kelechi - 50m

Fantastic business.

£10mil for Fernando and Kolarov.

Fucking miracle.

Indeed,but we made significant outlays for those two.

The 3 kids we've just moved on is akin to printing money :-)

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

So let me get this right:
Expenditure so far 207 million - amortised on average 5 year contract - = 42 million/year

Income so far this year 75 million

Balance sheet this year: +33 million

So, if we buy Sanchez and a centre back we might end up touching £280-300m in purchases, which if amortized over 5 years, adds £55-60m pa to the P&l expenditure.

It appears that so far we've brought in £67m in fees, most of which (say £55m) represents profit on disposal. We might sell also sell Delph, Mangala, Bony and Nasri but will probably do no better than break even on those players, might make a loss.

The profit on disposal almost offsets the additional amortization costs in 2017/18 (but not in future years).

In 2017/18 we will no longer have amortization costs for players who have left this summer at the end of their contract. Not sure how much that's worth.

And then there is the increase/decrease in the wage bill, which given the large number of players who have left (and Yaya's pay cut!) the savings on wages for the leaving players should more than pay for the wages of the incoming players.

Overall the players ins/outs this sumer should have a favourable effect on the accounts for 2017/18.

Looking a year ahead though, we will still have the £60m (ish) amortization costs for this year's purchases (plus any new signings). At the moment we don't have any profit on disposals of players to offset that. So if the club wishes to maintain player expenses (wages + amortization) in 2018/19 at a similar level to 2017/18 then we need to sell a few more players at a profit.

Doesn't this highlight how important it is for the club to keep finding players such as Kelechi, Unal, Mooy to trade in order to fund acquisitions?

Unal/Mooy/Kelechi are headline deals whereas the other sales are failed moves limiting or probably realising losses. I agree if Chelsea can turn big profits in the transfer market, then so can City, and with our overseas clubs, we are probably better placed than anyone to do it.
