    It's a fucking joke.
    Think they’re generating their income elsewhere. It might sound childish, but their affiliation with Faze Clan (the biggest gaming franchise) has brought in some dough.

    Having said that, they can manipulate the supposed FFP regulations the way they want. This is an Emirates run club. They don’t do small things, apart from Bernardo Silvas pitiful excuse of a phalus

    Its been BCD and Covid yet they can bid £100m for a player its likely Spurs get around £120-130m.

    Then they will move onto Grealish another £80-100m.

    Its not a one team league yet but if this carries on it will be a repeat of what Bayern do just hoover up all the talent from their own league.

    FFP was signed but they dont seem to go along with it and nothing is said by gobshites G.Nev and Carra.

    RE : Kane and 100 million.

    So the Spuds could still come out of this summer smelling like roses after their ongoing comedy fuck-up of a show called their manager replacement search.
    Or at least Levy will.

    100 million for a player on the wrong side of his prime (albeit still dangerous) and a somewhat questionable health record is,....not bad business, all things considered.

    They could flip part of that fee for a cheap but promising young striker and let Son carry most of the goal-scoring threat next season, and still have enough left to take another run at Ajax's manager now that they should have enough to pay to break him out of his contract extension.

    For City, not a bad replacement for Aguero (though a downgrade, IMO).
    100 million seems about fair for the reigning golden boot winner with the "English player over-priced" factor taking into account his age.
    It'll be interesting to see how he fits into City's system as he's a different type of player from the kind that Pep normally likes.

    Meanwhile,...at the Anfield boardroom......

    (*insert cricket sounds here*)

    They will surely shipout some players like Sterling and make money from sales but it won't come close to balancing things out.

    So Sponsor money covers it anyway

    Not to mention, FSG would not have you believe but getting to final of champions league and winning the league can't be bad money either

    Oh noes they have money we don't

    Shit happens

    Personally, I'm not bothered who they sign, I just want to see the back of Guardiola. They've only racked up the trophies since he arrived. Yes other managers won things but he is consistently winning trophies.

    They will look to move some players on or try to.

    Sterling could be hard to move for a few reasons homegrown, transfer fee and his wages are £300k.

    Yeah agree but he isnt going anywhere when he can have an open cheque book.

    Yeah he is good but he isnt this genius pundits have you believe.

    When you sign FFP rules you should stick to them otherwise you might as well let the Saudi in to own Newcastle and do what he likes.

    Why can’t our lads just match them and buy 1 or 2 players to elevate us. It’s all we need.
