We don't need to "balance the books"But that should not mean they don't have a market value to the club ? Sterling and Jesus are young enough to have another 5 to 10 years at another club, we should be looking for getting back some of the investment we made in both first and then loyalty and find the middle ground
sterling has a market value of around £70million and city should be looking for £50millon, Jesus also has a good market value and maybe a bit more than sterling, but please city don't buckle and let them leave on the cheap
I fear we may have to let them go on the cheap or on loan just to balance the books and then get a left back and midfield player
We are extremely self-sustainable with our revenue, and our player amortisation is brilliant
Selling players like Porro/Bazunu for a combined £20mil will be essentially all profit, whereas Haaland is costing us £16mil per year on the books and Alvarez less than £3mil
And also Torres leaving for £50mil, it will go down on the books as £35/40mil profit
So we don't need to balance the books, thats how well we are run
It's more the fact were missing out on £100mil.... that money isn't required but its a lot to just throw away as neither appear like they'll extend their contracts
No chance we let then go on loan, we'd let then go for free over that
