It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Only way this happens is with significant Saudi interest.

There just isn't enough money floating around the European game for sales of that value.

How much do we have in the 'already sizeable transfer kitty'?

;-) I wish we would sort our incomings before the outgoings though mate? We get ourselves in stum at times when we let players go before sorting our business first imo.

Until we know exactly who ‘s leaving we can’t know exactly what we need. If we bought our replacements and players didn’t leave, very possible, it would be a mess. We don’t do messes

That’s a fair comment as well mate but we did go big on Bellingham and then Rice even though Kovacic was coming in?

200m!?
Bernardo, Mahrez, and Laporte must all be going, then :(.
Hell, maybe even Kyle Walker...

Rise 200m & then spend it on Mbappe

Net spend = zero

think we totalled around £300m in prize money alone from the treble

One thing to note is that winning the CL will have meant the club has to pay substantial bonuses to the players.

I‘m not saying it makes a huge difference but it isn’t insignificant. There are some costs to success!

Indeed, a treble win won't be cheap in that respect.
Still, I have no doubt that we will buy: standing still at this time would contradict Pep's comments about refreshing and make the job of lifting the players to 'go again' even harder.

They probably have some sort of insurance for this

You would have thought so. I know it’s early days and City know what they are doing, but I’m mildly surprised that so far we are Kovacic in Gundogan out. Just seems a lot left to do.

That said I didn’t think our squad was big enough last season so I got that massively wrong.

and sponsorships will pay out more too.
