It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[bluenova]

Do you mean from the PL to another European league? I’m not trying to be pedantic, but all those players have transferred from a European club to another European club….

The money is almost all in the UK.

16 of the top 30 richest clubs are in the PL, and the top transfer fees are even more concentrated in the PL.

In Europe, unless it's Barca, Real Madrid, Bayern or PSG, or possibly Juve want you, then there isn't the money there.

On transfermarkt, the 7th most expensive transfer in Serie A history is Hernan Crespo, he would only just scrape in at number 48 in the Premier League, and nearly half of those Premier League transfers have been in the last two seasons.

In Ligue 1, there has only been one transfer not involving PSG over £30m in the last decade!

Atletico Madrid have only spent over £30m three times in the last decade, and the last of those was Joao Felix - a complete outlier for them, as they just recycled the Greizmann fee Barca had paid.

Unless you've got the one player that the very biggest clubs are prioritising, then selling to another country in Europe means a much lower fee than we'd expect in the Premier League.

I think you’ll be surprised.

So do I. I think if they were all sold (which I can’t see happening) they would generate way more than £50m

 

[leo_city]

How many from the current players need their situation at the club sorted?

Cancelo
Laporte
Mahrez
Walker
Bernardo
Palmer
Perrone (loan likely)
McAtee (another loan)
Gomez ?

Surprised it’s been that quiet so far aside the Gundo exit, Kova signing. Gvardiol is getting done soon hopefully but seems there’s lots to be managed.

plus 1-2 assistants for Pep need to brought in too. otherwise it really will be like this:

Marcelo Gallardo still aint back in work. See if he fancies it.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

@tolmie's hairdoo Do we have any concrete links with wide players or attacking midfielders? Gvardiol, Bellingham, Rice, Veiga etc all been well documented, but only really heard flimsy rumours about Barcola and that Riquelme from Atletico.

I’m guessing the club has kept this quiet so as not to push the price up before/in case Bernie & Mahrez leave.

Unless, as you say, it’s any one of Real, Barça, Bayern, PSG, or Juve.

I’d also add both Milanese clubs to that - how much is Lukaku?

Then in the tier just below that, are clubs that can and will do it *occasionally*, those would be the likes of AS Monaco, RB Leipzig, Shakhtar, plus any wildcards that do just come out of the blue and find money ‘down the back of the sofa’.

But that’s five to seven A* tier options in Europe, plus a handful of A- tier options.

Not that domestic transfers should be ruled out.

 

[paska]

Cont… between domestic transfers, transfers involving the larger pocketed Euro clubs, and potentially a few deals with Saudi & MLS, it would be completely feasible to raise the quoted 200m in player sales.

Found us some extra netspend lol

There are some sketchy reports on twitter claiming City sold Yangel Herrera to Girona FC, shrug - no details yet, might be bullsh

Another £100m to add towards our net spend trophy

According to transfermarkt, about £63m - but that is a complete outlier, and £20m+ more than their next highest transfer.

AC Milan have never even got near those kind of figures - their record is £36m. Monaco's is under £40m. Leipzig around £30m.

I think a lot of our players are being quoted around the £50m-£60m mark, probably because of all the £50m transfers in the PL, but that would be close to an all time record for all but the biggest of Champions League clubs.

These clubs are not going to be stumping up record fees for defenders/midfielders in the age range that we're selling.

Domestic transfers are obviously where the money comes in, but I get the impression we aren't as keen on selling locally, and our want-aways less keen on staying in England.

We haven’t spent the Ched Evans money yet.

That Fiona women spent that on her wedding,cheeky thieving cow.

hope we take advantage of the Saudi money rain. I bet Liverpool and United also thinking to flog 1-2 players there.
Chelsea already sent a few for decent fees.
Arsenal also hoping they can get rid of Partey to a Saudi club who has some bad legal case mounting against him.

Wouldnt mind to get Saudi buyers for Cancelo and Mahrez as no one else would pay decent fees for them.

Cancelo yes but replacing Mahrez should fit in with whatever our long term plans were before the crazy money was available.

There aren't many decent attackers out there so until we get more in and properly vet them then I'd prefer to keep Mahrez in the squad.

Maybe let him go in the January windowing all looks well in the attack.

The amount of money the academy ( as well as starting to provide quality talent for the first team) is providing to the club is simply incredible, what an amazing success story.

I wonder how will the academy, and English football in general, adapt to no longer having " foreign" footballers in them
e.g. The 4 lads we sold to Southampton last season, Lavia, Bazunu, Edozie, Larios would not have been able to have played for our academy in the current rules.

Someone can correct me if this info is incorrect but according to FA website

Under FIFA’s rules, the UK’s exit from the EU will mean that clubs will not be able to sign players from overseas until they are 18

Isn’t it that way now anyway or was it 16 before?
