Tomaszk Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Getting £45m and Sterling's £300k a week off the payroll is incredible for them. Mental from Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan obviously is to get him a work permit and if he's good enough, move him on to City. FIFA have let it get out of control. The only way to compete with this is another network of clubs, and most can't do that because they don't have unlimited oil money. PL might take action when City have won 8 or so of the last 10 league titles, but by then Newcastle will be strong enough to compete so perhaps they won't see the problem.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Incredible the fees City seem to get. Making profit on Ferran Torres despite hardly playing. £14m for a kid who has never been near the first team. Making their money back on what they paid Liverpool for Sterling 7 years ago despite only having a year left, £40m for Jesus with a year left, now asking for £50m odd for the epitome of fringe player Nathan Ake. Shame the rest of us cant seem to find all these buyers who want to pay over the odds to make our FFP look legit. Even Spurs turning a profit on what they paid for fringe player Bergwijn.

bobzy Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 10 minutes ago, Tomaszk said: Savinho. "Savinho signed a 5-year contract with ESTAC Troyes but the left-footed forward will not be in Bruno Irles’ squad next season – instead, it seems set that he will be joining Dutch outfit PSV on loan. CFG succeeded in bringing Savinho into their galaxy of 10 clubs despite competition for his signature from Arsenal and the Red Bull family of clubs. Manchester City did not sign the player directly because of post-Brexit regulations that prevent a club from signing 3 foreign players under the age of 21 per transfer window, as well as the ability to sidestep FFP rules by ensuring that other CFG clubs are taking on the financial burden for signing players who will not be immediately vital to the Manchester City 1st team. CFG repeated the same trick last summer when Troyes signed 19-year-old midfielder Metinho for a then record €5m from Fluminense, but he didn’t play a single minute in Ligue 1."

While we have to sell at a loss, or give them a free transfer. just to get them off our books But if someone like Trez was leaving City he would go for a big sum. While this goes on we will never get into the 'elite' as we just cannot compete on a financial level when they can sell someone that never kicked a ball for profit!

bannedfromHandV Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Alvarez is going to spend the season ‘on loan’ to Internacional (if I just heard correctly on the radio). Was actually quite looking forward to seeing how he’d get on in the PL, far more intriguing than Haaland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
