It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I know where you’re coming from but it wouldn’t ‘lower the fee’.

If we decided to use it, it would be us cashing in an asset to pay towards the fee, and both clubs would need to agree it’s market value.
IMO it would be an issue to avoid as it could only add a needless complexity to an already complicated exercise.
Agree a value, buy the player, deal with the value of our percentage of Sancho’s sell on whenever that occurs = less to argue about and therefore less time round the table.

Oh I agree, though it might be something Dortmund broach during negotiations rather than ourselves

I'm not sure, think that would be the plan, certainly as other clubs seems to be now looking to emulate out CFG model.

Is this not why we have so many clubs in CFG so we have academies globally also we have the soccer school in Abu Dhabi and the goals soccer center

That being said I expected a lot of mini City academies being set up or perhaps branded under a star name remember it being suggested by cook with the Kaka deal that never was but so far it’s never happened

There is a soccer school now in Dubai as well

I reckon we find a buyer at that price, a bit more for the money pot!

Tottenham and Arsenal 'top' net transfer debts chart

Transfer fees are generally paid in instalments. On tick. But some clubs are way more in debt than others. Daniel Levy is the credit king.

www.football365.com

For what its worth (not sure on the reliability of the source), apprantly we only owe net £7mil in outstanding fees (we owe 73mil with 66mil owed to us)....much better than I thought it would be, we must pay a large amount of our fees upfront

Shaping up quite nicely the pot
Harrison - £11mil
Braaf - £9mil
Porro - £9mil
Herrera - £15mil
Nmecha - £7mil

Thats an additional £50mil for players already on loan added to the £16mil from Angelino in Jan and the £10mil for getting into the Semis....Will get another £15/£20mil on top of that we get to the final which looks likely

Hopefully can get a few million form Roberts, Moreno, Meshino, Itakura, Bolton etc.

So could be sitting on over £100mil this summer...don't think spending £200mil will be an issue

Don't want to tempt fate, but hearing positive news on Haaland, certainly with him and Mino :)

Haaland and Foden playing for their boyhood clubs and leading the UCL title defence

With Haaland yesterday we would have killed the tie. I'm hoping the success we will have this season makes us even more determined to improve and add to our squad.

Assuming this is true this is shaping up to be some week! can’t help but feel with us continuing to win trophies and beating PSG last night it must be making haaland drool at the prospect of playing for us
