It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

That is paid by the income it will generate, the hotel, commercial space and f&b outlets etc. It won't be coming out of club running budgets.

Yeah get that.. we do have a loan that when we took out for the football group, it had to be paid in full by 2027 don't know what % we pay to it or how that works..
 
Realistically, I expect this to be the case.

If Walker, Alvarez, KDB come back and say they'd like to move on and have offers lined up, we've got decisions to make.

If they and others are content, then aside from loan moves for Phillips and Cancelo, there probably won't be much going on.
I think we will have given players a deadline if you want to leave we need enough time to get a replacement don't be expecting a move in the last week of the transfer window.

Pretty much like that, they will have most likely put a value report on the income it will generate, and secured finances against that to build it. Some might be contributed directly to lessen the repayment. But they won't be taking 300m out of the club or the running budgets, to pay for the stand.
 
Start of the season is going to be chaotic, with players still on holiday possibly wanting to move when they come back then trying to replace them, it’s only 3 weeks until the first premier league game, Chelsea lineup will be interesting to say the least.
 
Is there a lack of info or is there something else going on. Scrolling down this article looks like other clubs are releasing loads and loads of I assume youth players whilst we only seem to be selling them. Or have they just missed loads of our players off

Might have to do with the rule change of number of loan players. Since July 2024 clubs are only allowed to have 6 players loaned in and 6 loaned out.

Last season it was 7 players. That's a big over supply on the market (maybe why market prizes aren't going through the roof).

U21 AND club-trained players are exempt but many players who were U21 last year are not anymore now and have to find a new club.

For City, I guess our loaned players last season were:
Cancelo, Coutu, Perrone, Phillips, Kaboré, Stevanovic.

Club trained - and exempt - are:
McAtee, Knight, Doyle, JWE, Robertson, Burns.

Kayky was U21 but isn't anymore. If Couto is indeed sold on a permanent to Dortmund,
Kayky could be loaned again.

Bottom line, many clubs have tricky situations and we are in a good situation to have many club trained players from our top academy.
 
Given we’re doing the grand unveiling of Savinho at the weekend, it does seem like the club are acting like that is our biggest transfer this summer.
 
Exciting signing but over the top for him with all due respect.
For sure. He might be disappointed if the turn out isn’t great. Seems poor PR from the club.

Re transfers, I think it depends on the merry go round. Loads of clubs seem to need to sell before they buy. Once the ball gets rolling, there might be loads of transfers.
