i think if city sell him last year,it was close to 90 million.

but ok, move on.

Not like we let Sancho, Boateng, Tevez, and plenty of more players walk for practically nothing to rival big clubs. Even players who see as surplus we cant get a decent price for them. Other teams manage it miles better than us.

But don’t win the trophies we do , so who’s doing it best?

 

[SWP's back]

Complete different market today than when we bought him. He helped us win trophies and played well so was worth the money but to claim that we made a “tidy profit” is bullshit.

Absolutely it’s a tidy profit.

Bye bye bacon.
All the best.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

just listen to Liverpool. From klopp to players to fans, they all rate him so, so highly. Literally the difference maker in games where the opponents are good enough to not camp in their box.

I’d have him over any player in our squad today except KDB. There’s good reason we didn’t compete for the prem this year and he’s a large reason.

You'd take Sane over Sterling, Laporte, Aguero, Bernardo, Foden? Fair enough, that's a bold statement.

Price is about right, imo. All parties happy.

Its a tidy profit on a player whose book value is peanuts this far into the contract and who doesn't want to be here any longer.

That’s how it works when players get into their final year of contract.

Signed for 37m, got 3 seasons from him, made 18m profit. Can't complain.

47.6m accounting profit on his presumed amortised cost, good for FFP.

Do you know what other teams don't manage miles better than us?

Consistently winning trophies.

The fact that Sane may have already played his last game for City - when he could feasibly stay until the end of the CL season, and can’t play for Bayern anyway - is very telling
