£50m would be a compete joke. To put it into perspective here what would Chelsea ask us for if it was reversed ? No less than £70m that's what. We'd be fucking insane to sell for such a low fee to a direct rival

It wouldn't exactly be the first time we've let a player go for cheap.
You're just being silly now

The first 2m
In €1 Euro coins sellotaped to a piece of card.
New regs in place mean we could be putting ourselves in a favourable position incase there are any surprises.Do you think we are trying to sort out the FFP this season by ensuring we balance the books?

Yeah just seems that we are keen to keep the finances in check - normally we would be so cautious in making a bid for a player like CucurellaNew regs in place mean we could be putting ourselves in a favourable position incase there are any surprises.

Yeah , but we are holding off on signing Cucurella until Sterling is sold. Normally we wouldn’t be as cautious. Quite a large number of academy players also leaving this summer.No, Raz & Jesus entering last 12 months of their contracts

Selling Ake would be problematic because he offers good cover at LB as well. He was fantastic at LB against Atletico. And we need the additional cover especially if we start the season with only 3 full-backs.
Everything seems to being done with military precision. 1 in 1 out, waiting till exactly July 1st for accounting reasons maybe ?Yeah just seems that we are keen to keep the finances in check - normally we would be so cautious in making a bid for a player like Cucurella

So are we building up the cash reserves to sign De Ligt and Neymar ?

Is it more down to squad space. The academy players would be in limbo if they stayed around as they are unlikely to get game timeYeah , but we are holding off on signing Cucurella until Sterling is sold.

Getting our ducks in a row early isn't beyond the realms of possibility.The 70% doesn't t kick in for 3 years & we are just above the 70% as it is now

Maybe there's a serious problem with the FFP or the books? Otherwise, I don't understand this
As much as I go on about marquee signings like this I think the names outweigh the actual ability on show. Just not sure these are the types of player city want to deal with going forwardSo are we building up the cash reserves to sign De Ligt and Neymar ?
