Yes, easily accessible on the web. Feel free

It is your point so provide it,that is how it works

Disagree. Barry and Kolarov only left because the new manager didn’t fancy them, they hadn’t become bad players overnight and their quality warranted significant transfer fees

Dzeko was always a goal machine and was only 29 and had steered clear of serious injuries throughout his career when we sold him. £14m was derisory.

Look at the age, expected wages and contract lengths of the players concerned.
Dzeko was in the middle of a huge slump at City and badly needed a fresh start.
We don't sell decent senior players like him to rivals in England and overseas clubs are not as wealthy.
If we could have got considerably more for Dzeko and Kolarov we would have waited it out but there was no interest from others at the time.

Fair point. I think that one rankled with me as they’d squeezed every last penny out of us for Lescott (worth it) and Stones (less so) - couldn’t we have asked for 2 or 3 mill ?

We could have asked and would have probably been told where to go. The wages we were / are is always our problem offloading players, not in Sane's case tho :(

We’ve been absolutely twatted in the transfer market again then. Have we got a decent market price for anyone we’ve sold since the takeover ?

You need it explaining again?

I might be in a minority but I think €60M is good business for a lad who doesn’t want to play for us, has run down his contract, and who has just returned from a season long injury.

You are right,add in the middle of a pandemic as well,it is a good deal

Good luck to the kid, wish him all the best and thanks for the wonderful moments you gave us

Sane, one of few players that you know could absolutely terrify a top teams defensive line

His time at City has come to an end. A fantastic contribution. Played with David and KDB in

the same side. I doubt he will ever play again in a side with that combined quality of service.

He will have great performances again im sure, whether he'll attain the heights we thought

possible for him in a blue shirt who knows. I hope he can recover fully from his injury too.

Should we start with Dzeko. 40m minimum, proven top class goal scorer with several years left in him.

Barry, anything up to 10m. Proven top class player with an international pedigree who lived the life and had a lot left to offer

Kolarov 10m, international full back, wand of a left foot, still making regular appearances for a CL chasing club now

And who was going to give us €40m for Dzeko?
A player is worth what the buying club is willing to pay
If there was only one club in for Dzeko and we really needed him off our books (FFP) then we were pretty much screwed
We haven't done too badly since he left

Regardless of talent. £55mil for someone who has 1 year of their contract left, is on the back of a season long injury and also doesn't want to be here, is a stellar bit of business.

And there was only one club in for him
