How have we got Donnarumma, Cherki and Semenyo, for less than Wirtz or Isak?

[Ysabel 123]

For the same reason why, David Silva, Ryan Cherki and YaYa Toure combined cost less than Harry McGuire!

That's why we laugh at them, We don't need to cheat!

They paid more for mason mount than we did for Rhodri!

 

[SamTheGuru]

I don't know the answer. Could say the same about Haaland too...

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

When did we sign Semenyo?

 

[SamTheGuru]

I also don't think people understand finances. The infrastructure at City that has been put in place means that whoever is signed gets a free agent for promoting their own sponsorship deals, which means the club is investing in them in the long term to give more incentive that nobody else can provide.

Just need to add that this is a symbiotic relationship and it relies on the scouts, the investment, the fans, the directors, and the coaches and captains on the pitch.

SSSssshhhhhhhhhh or that's charge 116

Brown envelopes - I saw someone on RAWK who has insider knowledge.
He is now saying something about Semenyo's wages being much more than Liverpool will offer AND that we will pay fewer instalments. He knows about contracts AND EVERYTHING.

It's Wirtz than that.

 

[M16 citeh]

I don't care how much we spend or any of our rivals it's literally irrelevant to the game.

 

[East Level 2]

Echo headline: City cheat by getting bargains.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Because we don't do public auctions.
We don't listen to who the sports media say is good - they really do talk shit.
We sound out the player - if he wants City the deal is done.
We have a plan and we don't steer away from it.

Other clubs, especially the media favourites, do the opposite of everything above. Liverpool fans demanded wirtz, etc, the red media then demanded the club listen to the fans and spend money. Same at utd, arsenal.

They really do make a rhod for their own backs.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

because we’re very good at what we do.

 

[JASR]

Brown envelopes
Offshore accounts
Gifts to family and friends
2nd consultancy jobs

… was how United used to do it in the 60’s and 70’s.

I think we’re just a better prospect of:
Company HR Support
Training and stadium Facilities
Career progression
Current Manager and backroom staff
Management and strategic future plans
…which all leads to
Personal enrichment
Personal legacy
Personal stability

Even though every summer some spend their summer panicking that others are much better, last summer mainly liverpool.
