We aren't trying to win a net spend trophy. We already spend the money we have.Yes it has to come from somewhere, not from player sales in particular. Hence why I said its the total revenue that matters, and since City is one of the clubs who generate the most revenue in the world from commercial deals, prize & TV money, we are in a position where we dont need to have a good net spend. The club generate enough money from other revenue streams for us to be able to spend significantly more than we generate from player sales on transfers and still be self sufficient. We can of course still have a good net spend from time to time, but a football clubs main goal should be to use their resources and economic strength to be as good as it possibly can be on the pitch, short term and long term, not to win some imaginary net spend trophy.
If our remaining business was Sterling out Cucurella in would you be happy?
I would…..
I’ve not seen anything to suggest he’ll ever make it to our first team level as of yet.

Absolutely and might become a superstar. I’m yet to be convinced though.Think we have to give the kid time because of 3 reasons..
1. He arrived injured
2. New country and language
3. People ahead of him in first team
Also City paid a lot for him so they clearly see/ saw potential.. I think it might be a few years till we see the whole picture.

We saw potential in Marlos Moreno too.
Goes to show that scouting youngsters isn’t an exact science.Yeah that was truly funny.. him and Jesus signed at the same time.. if there was truly ever a yin and a yang signing.. those 2 were it!
The luckiest man in football. Never forget that we nearly signed him....80m Harry Maguire enjoys this post.
I won't jump in with too many facts - but that's not the case - Aguero hardly played in the only season they were both at the club, and together their minutes didn't even add up to as much as the first team regulars.I would not.
If it was no Cucurella and Sterling stays another season, would be less 'unhappy'.
Sterling has to he replaced, particularly as it looks like Jesus won't be.
And before someone jumps in, yes I know we have Haaland and Alvarez coming in for Aguro and Torres.
Would be a brilliant signing for Newcastle that. Surprised he would go there having qualified for the CL with LeverkeusenWe should be all over that.
Electric pace and has been productive in Germany, at the right age.
