They don't have the funds without him leaving and he's made himself impossible at Inter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Manolas house hunting in Naples, apparently. Release clause of around €35m is a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 5 million less you can get Lewis Dunk or splash another 15 million on Stones. Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we say it every year, but its not sustainable is it? Well if you are top 6 in PL you are getting what £150m in Sky Money, Massive kit deals that dwarf ours, selling millions of pounds of merchandise around the world, getting sleeve sponsors that pay more than our main shirt sponsors and mains shirt sponsors that pay 10 times ours. Big money from official condiment dispenser suppliers, several millions from pre season tournaments, European Competition money. Several millions from loaned out player fees. I think a couple of £50m players will be affordable especially if you've sold a couple of also rans for £20m or so when they haven't made the grade.

Zatman Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Harry Maguire 80 million I think he is a decent player but he is probably no better than James Collins in his prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 seems a strange one, cant help but feel city could / should have done better with better scouting and they never really entered the de ligt race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 But how much is he worth when the choice is Maguire or a 20 year old centre back with a few sub appearances to his name due to the quota. The best English players go for extortionate fees because at some point the club will be forced to select them and you’re only as good as your weakest link.

villa4europe Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 city have a small squad so they don't have an English player quota problem, that's not why they're signing him they have 20 players over 21* + 5 that are under (so don't need registering - de ligt wouldn't need registering this season either) they only have 4 homegrown players, its keeping the squad size low that means they get away with it (unregistered place counts as homegrown) *mangala is still on the books and I imagine he's going this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted June 25, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'm so out of touch these days. There was a time I could name all starters for all the teams in the top flight and about half in Italy without a problem and not looking at a screen/paper. I've heard of about 5% of the players mentioned in this thread . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 some of them are just to show the madness of it all! quincy promes, signed last summer for sevilla for 20m, plays in 49 games, becomes a national side regular, moves to ajax who have the CL semi final cash + de jong sale + de ligt sale for 15m then we are talking about buying championship wingers for more that doesn't make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of time and interest coupled with not playing Football Manager as much I think 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
