We don't sell players we want to keep,the teams we are selling to can't afford the wages, we do get the highest price we can, do you think we are turning down high bids?So why does Manchester City never get top dollar for our players,
( it's negligent not to get the highest price possible ) Cancelo, Phillips, to name a few

We have a different approach IMO, if a players wishes to leave we enable this to happen usually by lowering the fees, when it comes to younger players we usually go for lower fee higher sell on and buy back clause.So why does Manchester City never get top dollar for our players,

Young Tommy Doyle is a great example for younger player transfers: £4.5 million is steal but, we have a buy back clause and a 50% sell on clause,
I think we are pretty good at this.

For me it was potentially a sackable offence and probably would have been had we not been so successful over the last two seasonsWho on earth rubber stamped 160K a week over 6 year for Phillips?

Because we're very good at player retention and almost never have to sell a high value asset who we want to keep.
The players you've mentioned are examples of players where we've massively cocked up by putting them on long contracts with huge wages and have made it very obvious that we want rid/they have no future at the club. When you're hoping other clubs will bail you out of your own terrible business decisions you don't really get to demand top dollar off them for the privilege.

Bit over dramatic, we obviously thought he was good player that could be taught enough to cover Rodri, he wasn't it happens.Impossible to predict every players capacity to learn Peps game 100%.Surprised we do as well as we do.For me it was potentially a sackable offence and probably would have been had we not been so successful over the last two seasons

Made sense at the time, and then Pep tore up the 433 and went to a box with CB coming forward.Bit over dramatic, we obviously thought he was good player that could be taught enough to cover Rodri, he wasn't it happens.Impossible to predict every players capacity to learn Peps game 100%.Surprised we do as well as we do.
Alot of info to take in, then forget and take in again. He didnt get it, fair enough.
All the major players we signed were promised contract extension/improvements if the player came in and settled and was successful.I think he had such a good euros and Pep and Txiki trusted Bielsa as well?
Toure, Aguero, Silva, Dias, Rodri and Ederson as examples, but what other team was going to offer Phillips 160k a week.
The Champions of England should not be offering those terms to a player like that, he was NEVER at that level.
Because most teams wanna keep the players we are trying to take. We are often trying to get rid of the players we don't want that others might need. The dynamics are different.So why does Manchester City never get top dollar for our players,

If someone was trying to acquire Foden... What do you think it'd cost them?
Well, that's exactly what we are often doing. Taking another team's Foden. It's not as if we are ever interested in Newcastle's version of a player they are trying to move.
Some you win some you lose. Fortunately for us we have many more players in the win column than we do in the loss column over the last decade.All the major players we signed were promised contract extension/improvements if the player came in and settled and was successful.

Leeds were offering 100-120k in his new deal, we offered 140-160k depending where you get your numbers/rumours.All the major players we signed were promised contract extension/improvements if the player came in and settled and was successful.

But it was a very big contract to offer in the first place, as said, very unlike the way we do business.
We once had to pay top money to get players to sign in the early days of the takeover, that's was understandable.
But as Multi Champions and signing a player from a lesser club the personal deal for Phillips was way over the top.
Find it hard to believe Leeds were offering that in their circumstances.Leeds were offering 100-120k in his new deal, we offered 140-160k depending where you get your numbers/rumours.

Doesn’t sound that much to me, I presume he’d be their highest paid player, England regular,and they wanted to keep him.Find it hard to believe Leeds were offering that in their circumstances.
