Its January... Who should we cash in on?

[ysmsa]

We made more than £200m in TV and prize money last season.
Plus the cost of a player is spread (amortised) over the duration of his contract. So Grealish for example will cost us £16.7m a year over six years plus wages.
We already had money set aside for Kane in the summer, in short we don’t need to sell anyone. Especially for, say, Haaland’s relatively low buyout

You never read that in the general media do you (£200m)
You would think Sheik Mansour bought JG with his own money.

Nobody. We're threadbare already

This is what should be addressed

Strange thread

He didn’t pay more than that to buy the entire club.
Fantastic business foresight and strategy.
But yeah, ‘sportswashing’…

Good article here from Forbes

Sheikh Mansour’s Biggest Win: Manchester City’s $4.6 Billion Increase In Value

With every significant achievement his team makes; from scooping a domestic treble to reaching the Champions League final, there is always that question: Why?

He didn't, he put down about 1.3m barrels of state funded oil

We are already a small squad so nobody obviously

@Prestwich_Blue - Colin, how are we fixed to buy Haaland without selling?

Having sold Torres, pretty well I reckon.

You notice the lack of squad depth when Zinchenko supposedly covid and Cancelo has to play despite what he’s been through.

Thanks, in which case may argument is definitely weakened on this front, but the first half against Arsenal kind of reinforces it lol.

I strongly suspect this daft thread is going to get very lively this afternoon if the Arsenal performance continues
