Hopefully Southampton will be tempted to buy one of Origi/Minamino/Shaqiri.

20% sell-on, but I think that was 20% of sale profit, not 20% of the entire fee that Villa would pay. So if Villa paid £30m we wouldn't get £6m, we'd get the £2m (20% of the £10m profit) - if I recall correctly.
Isn't much but every little helps. Pretty much paid off Ben Davies for example. Or a little over a quarter of Minamino. However you want to look at it - for doing basically nothing.

20% of any amount above what we sold him for. So 20% of £10m

I still find £100m for Grealish so ridiculous.
He won't have played a single minute of European club football yet costs more than Ronaldo? I know inflation is a thing, but these Oil clubs really take the cake when it comes to distorting the market.
Maddison will be £75m next.
...shows his class...
So, Man City can't afford to buy players.
Imagine if they could!

Indeed.
They might get more than 265 points over 3 seasons.
It would help them to compete with those bastard Scousers who won't stop constantly buying £80m players, which has helped them to get 265 points over the last 3 seasons as well.
Having to wade through all the Oil has really made competing with Liverpool difficult.

Just coming back to this. He'll be 34.
Getting the prime years of one of the World's best goalies is just so great.

It’s not much of a competition trophy wise though Sid.

No of course not, but to be fair I think competing with that level of corruption and sports-washing is a ludicrously daunting challenge anyway.
It's similar to the sort of monopoly Fergie's Man United side had for years until Abramovich came along - always able to pay bigger wages and bigger fees to add to the higher quality first team with the higher quality bench, with the money always piling in.
Their strength in depth is what allows City to be a trophy vacuum. We simply cannot afford the fees and wages of two first-XI quality sides in our squad and (almost) nobody else can either. What City do isn't sport so I don't sweat it.
Other fans will be becoming more alive to it as well. Villa fans comparing winning a trophy with City to losing your virginity to a prostitute is nail-on-head stuff.
