In terms of negotiating leverage, yes - it makes a difference when you already have cover and aren't forced to pony up whatever the seller demands, one of the fundamental principles of supply & demand

It seems to go: Levy thinks; oh shit, they've just bought a fullback so I can only ask for a tiny transfer fee. He then wakes up to no Alves, puts on his Scrooge outfit, punches the air and says; aha, now I can ask £70M. Or something like that!!
Sounds about right, although you left out the accompanying evil laugh, Mwahahaha

Sam's article is fine.
Not sure why people get so wound up about headlines.
Not getting Alves is a blow, especially to the budget. No idea anymore how we stand on FFP or if there are any other impediments to Mansour just digging deeper than his own choice. Shit happens in real life and you have to handle it.
Don't know why Alves has seemingly broken his word but it's hard to see how his decision was made on (good) footballing grounds. Maybe City should have got him over to MCR sooner but no of us actually know if that was a genuine possibility.
Time to move on and, in the club's case, quickly.

@shemnel so all in all, we're a little shy of the £100m target from sales haha.
a few quid here or there yeah :)
still a long 4 weeks to go, expect a few more sales.

So, Alves quote in an interview last week was "It"s not about the money"
PSG are willing to pay double what we ofeed apparently.
Its about the wife and the money

Definitely pushing for sales by the sounds of it - not prepared to listen to loan offers for quite a few players. And seemingly halting Denayer's career
