It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[foggy1974]

I personally thibk there is no link. Certainly not as an immediate one as the papers suggest. Any linking the two is for me just paper talk to bulk the chat up and fill time inbetween any movement on deals.

Also think we have let Leeds get their replacements in 1st, similar with Villa & Grealish last year

 

[Asa's left peg]

Genuine question.... Do agents and family fees get amortised or spread over the life of the initial contract, or not?

 

[Coatigan]

Think it's more to avoid being left with too many playes myself. Now Jesus has gone we have room for Cucerella. Until Sterling goes we don't have space for anyone else to replace him.

That is true, although it hasn't stopped us buying players before and balancing the squad out by the end of the window.

Either way the club will have targets, likely outgoings and prices for all. What order they happen in or more likely what order they are announced in really doesnt affect much.

We’ve got one place in the squad at the moment

Club trained (1) - Foden
Association trained (4) - Carson, Walker, Stones, Ake
Other (16) - Ederson, Ortega, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko, Cancelo, Rodri, Phillips, Gundogan, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Grealish, Sterling, Mahrez, Alvarez, Haaland

Yes, room for a left back I'm guessing.I was thinking more the club won't want to go too far down the road with anyone else until they are sure Sterling is going. They wouldn't want to agree a deal then Sterling falls through and stays. Sure background stuff will be happening at the same time though.

Laporta saying they want City to lower the fee by €40m tells you everything

Cool, will gladly do so, let them throw pedri+60M, then they can have Bernado.
They want our elite player, will have theirs in return.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Isnt most of that earmarked for loans that need paying this year. Laporta saying they want City to lower the fee by €40m tells you everything

And why would we sell one of our best midfielders for just £40m? I’d rather we didn’t sell at all, Barca can fuck off.

If he insists on leaving then seeing as figures around £100m are being talked about for Declan Rice, that should be the minimum for Bernardo who is a better player than Rice.

 

[Vester]

If you spend 50m to 100m more than that you sell for annually ie every year, then its not self sufficient in the long run. Thats before you forget the hugh out lay on Haaland, 85m with Rioala & Alfies cut +wages

How self sufficient you are in the long run is determined by your revenue, not by what your net spend is. You can have a zero net spend and lose money, or you can have a zero net spend and have a 150m profit. If your club generate enough revenue that it allows you to spend 50-100m on transfers, the club is self sufficient.

Diaby to Newcastle, he'd be cracking to replace Raz

Confirmed?

If so, ASM and Diaby is the DHgate Sterling and Sane.
