Not as worrying as it is for me! A transfer window with no Net Spend and claiming we have no money?

Either they are trying to drive up the price of Sanchez or drive down the price of his potential replacement, or we are well and truly fecked!

What about Arsenal's famous 'warchest'?

Fair enough. But wouldn't the average wage per player be more relevant than total wageroll.

Anyway suppose the point is it's mostly guesswork.

City have the 4th highest wage bill behind Chelsea, Rags and Liverpool. Arsenal are 5th just 3M/year less than us. This is from published accounts for 2015/16.
There is no guesswork involved here just facts.

Doesn't distinguish players wages does it. Pelligrini and his staff would be on a fairly modest package compared to managers at the others. Pep arriving probably changes that but we will see.

That is guesswork like the Daily Mail.

Will be interesting to see where he starts off for us if he signs. I really do think Pep needs to settle on a formation, as the players have looked confused and uncoordinated in the games so far. 352 will only stagnate players like Sane so I'm hoping we return to a 442. Although 352 may help us to become more stable at the back. The managers has lots of big decisions on the horizon.

cant see us playing 3 at the back if sanchez comes. Would be to many attacking players on the bench.

I assume that ornstein fella is doing arsenal's bidding and pushing the Sterling line still because they would be desperate to have him.

He's usually spot on. I don't think this is about Sterling as it seems pretty well understood that we won't be releasing him. Probably about some of the other targets like Draxler that the Arse want in ahead of releasing Sanchez. And given Arsenals incompetence in the transfer market, I'm beginning to worry whether we'll get this one over the line.

So you think Pelligrini was on the same as Pep is?

Pep or Pellegrini makes no odds.

The question was about City not paying our top stars £350k plus per week.

2015/16 Liverpool were spending more than us. So we're Chelsea and United and Arsenal weren't far behind.

It's not transparent as you will find a note in the report and accounts regarding performance related conditions which are included in the players registration cost. Hence City's declared wage bill does not represent the real renumeration as we would understand it. Therefore the figure that was mentioned could well be true.

Return to a 442?

Are you expecting us to return to 1996?

1996? That's a ridiculous formation. Way overloaded in defence and in the middle. Mind you, if we could, and I'm only surmising here, if we could get away with having 25 players on the pitch, we might just have enough to win a pot or two (provided Bravo isn't the "1" in the 1996).
