I know i am probably talking a bit football manager for everyone on here but i will try and be deadly realistic. Man City are buying and buying yet they can only register 25 people, and they have a squad of around 33, 35? So realistically thinking, fringe and unneeded player will be looking to get out as if they are not registered they will not make a appearance for the whole season (unless registered in January blah blah blah). So if MON was a half decent negotiator we could bag the 25m of Milner (minus salary of 50,000 to the wage bill), bag the money from the fringe players being sold, which would be around 10m (minus around £220,000 from the wage bill) and look to push on...
Man City possibilities:
Ireland - 7m (wage 50,000)
Onouah - 5m ((sp) wage 30,000)
Other Possibilities:
Parker - 10m (40,000)
KPB - 5m (40,000)
Keane - 7m (50,000)
Spend: 35m - 34m = +1m profit.
Wage Bill: 220,000pw - 210,000p2 = saving of 10,000pw
