so do i but we have to get the league mathematically wrapped up and with our fixture congestion that might no be straight forward

Yep for sure; I didn’t state that but of course, if/when that is wrapped up I meant.

We didn't really lose £120m last season though, it's just that ~£60m of TV money from last season arrived after the June cut off date for the annual finances.

We've also got Leroy Sané's £55m fee not accounted for yet.

it was CL money from what BBC stated. so £10m rather than £60m. all in all we lost probably £70/80m

over the last few years we've made 10/20m profit and while having a net spend of about £90m with a 70/80m loss we may have 10/20m to spend without selling.

I’m going with the poker analogy ;). City prefer to keep their cards close to their chests, certainly won’t be averse to the occasional bluff or two, and have a pretty good idea what everyone else is holding. We all need to chill out and watch the game unfold.

Quite a few on here think it’s frustration (younger ones google it)

It's both Premier League and Champions League money.

he has rag written all over him....

Ye wouldn't surprise me.

You'd take Lukaku BEFORE Kane?

Other way around for me. Lukaku is a good level below Kane IMO

Yes. I know I’m in the minority here

A very very talented lad for his age but he did a lot of lunging in, was overly aggressive and even dirty at times.
In fact Gundogan had words with him about dirty play then, when he kept the antics up, had to give him a knock to quieten him down a bit.

Having said that, he’s only 17 and most of us are absolute nutters at that age so he might turn out to be a really nice fella when he grows up - perhaps even worthy of a blue shirt one day?

£10.5mil for reaching quarters & £12mil for reaching semis though. If we get to the final, that's another £15mil. None of that will be accounted for.

17? are you sure?

Think they're talking about last seasons CL & PL TV money, not this season.
