We don't need to "balance the books"
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
I was taking more about the wages wise in the account books so when 2 first team players leave it's a big saving
transfer fee's go back into the accounts for the manager to use to balance the squad and pep still needs a left back and holding midfield player, i would hope the sale of both sterling and jesus would be enough to buy both players pep and city need
