Come On You Reds

Granted that City have never been a selling club, and you can probably fill books with the number of players we have bought over the years and sold off at a loss, but how many have we actually made a profit on? Thinking mainly in cash terms as some deals are more complex involving player exchanges etc. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are:

Franny Lee to Derby
Paul Stewart to Spurs
SWP to Chelsea
Leroy to Bayern

should be a quick thread
 
I cant think of any off the top of my head but there again we're not a selling club, we buy well and use them well and they're knackered once they leave City for an easier club
 
We made a tidy profit on Iheanacho, Rony Lopes, Denayer and a few other youngsters.

We are fortunate now that most of our best senior players stay until they are in there latter years so they're sell on value has decreased. Had a few shockers though when we first got taken over in Santa Cruz, Bridge, Adebayor but was all part of the club growing.
 
SWP was not bought by us initially, the first academy player to come through even though he joined late.

Kinky, Corluka, McCarthy and a new one Mooy who Melbourne paid for and we sold for a lot more.
 
The OP doesn’t say players bought by City originally, just those we made a profit on.
So...
Gary Owen
Peter Barnes
Steve MacKenzie
Ian Bowyer
Clive Wilson
Tommy Caton
Nicky Reid

Etc, etc.
 
In recent years we have picked up the likes of Ens Unal and Aaron Mooy for low fees, loaned them out and made tidy profits.
 
Claiming a profit is only made when a player is sold for more than they were bought for shows a lack of understanding for football finance
 
Fairly sure we made a profit on Frank Carrodus, we signed him from Alty for a few White&Swales tellys and then sold him 5 years later to Villa.

Niall Quinn, bought for £800k, sold for £1.3m.
