Stoke are paying Liverpool £7m for the average reject Assaidi, yet we struggle to shift anyone. The only explanation I can come up with is that we must pay average squad players too much money, hampering our attempts to sell them and get decent fees.

Scott Sinclair is apparently on £55k per week so no wonder that there isn't any suitors for him... and Javi Garcia is on £110k per week according to some websites.

I doubt that we can sell Sinclair. Looks like another loan for him.. maybe next summer when he has 1 year left on his contract for some £2m fee. If those figures are true or close to it, then we can do much much better. £165k per week wages can get you one world class player possibly. + Guidetti wages maybe around 10-20k per week?
To put in context Fernando is on £50k per week, yes big bonuses but still. Thank god for Soriano
Still being held up by that Mancini & Marwood disaster.

I agree mate, all down to wages in my opinion.
Buying clubs will no doubt have to match or get as close to their current wages leaving them demanding for a lower transfer fee.
It needs to change.

Aye but ba scored important goals for Chelsea and Sinclair couldn't get a game at west brom! He and guidetti will be the toughest to shift last season only proved that they weren't cut out of the league! I would sell or loan them to only Melbourne maybe? Garcia, Richards and rodwell are all Epl standard in my opinion.

We played 4-4-2 that game, that's a fact; it may not have been two strikers playing up front. Two up front is the system we play and I find it very hard to believe we will tinker with it after one season, especially after the success we've just had.
Furthermore, as for the calls to sell Negredo to bring in a midfielder for the likes of the big games in the CL, Negredo scored 5 goals in the competition last season.
Silva's average position was in between Dzeko and the midfield four!!!!
Because his heat map shows he played as advanced as Edin, whose heatmap also has spells in midfield (or that area of the pitch when dropping back)
We play two up front, we will not nor have we played one up top. Or at the very least, which was the point, didn't get "found out" and look vulnerable in such a system in the big games, which I wouldn't limit to the CL.
If you have access to the heat map, why don't you upload an image of it here so you can prove your point?
You have found one, haven't you?

City should assist a lower division team to challenge FFP
We provide the knowledge and the lawyers to fight our case indirectly.
Winds me up knowing the scum are going to be able to spend what they want but we have to adhere to these made up bullshit rules.
Anti-competition at its finest, corrupt bastards.
They can't compete fairly so they have to cheat, SCUM pricks
bang on the money.
