How come I have been dragged into this ?

Not by me mate. You were incorrectly linked. Its a different Ray. Chill

the club will know for a fact he’s going to cost around the £100m mark.

Of course they will, but have they (we) given any indication whatsoever that we might be interested in signing him or prepared to pay it? I haven't seen anything but maybe I missed it. So saying they know he'll cost £100m doesn't mean we're automatically OK to pay it.

 

[Chippy_boy]

No,i mean confident.

We require a new striker,and he ticks every box twice over.I cant see money preventing the signing,especially given our recent (relative) conservatism in that area.

Its not very often a player comes along who will almost guarantee we step up a level.

I hope you are right. I fear you may not be. We'll see.

Well if rumours are to be believed then we’ve spoken to his camp and are interested. We’re not gonna do all that without knowing how much he’d likely cost. So if they’re still interested then it indicates we’d be happy to pay

City know what he'll cost and are going to move heaven and earth to sign him. Very very very weird to say that we've given no indication that we're interested in him. We've literally told the press pack he's our number 1 transfer target this summer.

I've often wondered - if the loan were interest free? For FFP purposes would only the repayment of interest have to count?!!

No idea mate. I do know we have used the Silver Lake money this season to help towards operating costs.

How does that work? I thought you can’t put owner money in to cover operating costs as it breaks FFP?

It's not owner money, the investment by Silver Lake can be used across the whole of the CFG.

Sheikh Mansour did not get the money.
