Iâd only sanction it if they gave us enough money upfront to effectively eliminate all of the clubâs debts - stadium, training ground, operating costs⊠everything. If we donât have time to get a replacement then at least it would put the club in position to reset the books way ahead of time.
No idea what that amount of money is but itâs certainly more than 100m - and Iâm sure we already have a repayment structure for all of that sorted anyway making it not that important.
Having said that Iâll certainly be very critical of any decision to sell now though. Short of him demanding a transfer, not training etc then Iâd tell them to piss off and donât call us until June 2024 if they want to talk to us.

I care whatâs on the pitch not how much money we have in the bank.
which one is @PeachesEnRegalia sprinting towards Alice ?
Saudi transfer window doesnât close until end of September I believe.
take the money and runnnnnnnn.
7th September
At which point can we afford Mbappe and still have change?
Doesnât have to be a starting defender.
Trent is our only natural RB. Gomez and Matip are not good enough to start regularly anymore and they had their issues in the past. Konate is promising and managed to squeeze Matip out of the team ahead of Paris, but also didnât complete a season with more than 30 games so far. As a physical, 23-25 year old CB. Virgil also showing some signs of weaknesses in last months.
The situation at LB is very solid and very stable.
Exactly. And if they call us before then weâll sell him to their rivals Alwatifuck or whatever theyâre called
yes I know, what i mean is its our deadline and sky will milk it because there isnt much going on otherwise
What is Bradley then?
Compare with the teams expected to be title challengers?
My point is that it looks weak with all these hypothetical scenarios, but confer how Arsenal fell apart with one or two injuries, and theyâre widely backed to be Cityâs main rivals this season? Or that Chelseaâs spent all that money, and 39-year-old Thiago Silva is still considered to be their best defender?
City have got Dias, Gvardiol, Stones, AkĂ©, Akanji, of whom Iâm sure Stones has a stellar injury record, AkĂ© and Akanji are highly rated as defenders, and Iâm sure AkĂ© doesnât have any injury issues of his ownâŠ
First one is what my dog looks like on a windy day
Bradley could become one when I see him playing for Liverpoolâs first team squad for more than a few cup games. If he stays.
The level Thiago Silva operates at this stage of his career is unfortunately a level I donât think any of our CBâs apart Virgil will reach in their careers. Maybe Konate, maybe.
City have 8 defenders (counting if Cancelo does leave for Barca) for 4 positions which is exactly the number needed. A kid like Rico Lewis who is already playing both full back positions and also in midfield when needed. In fact, Pep credited him to being key last season as they started using the hybrid formation.
theres talk he will sign a new deal at psg.
Whereâs he going to go if heâs injured?
Thatâs a matter of judgment, and in any case, that doesnât speak to the supposed depth Chelsea has.
Thatâs double standards there, since Rico Lewis has had literally 23 games in his professional career, of which 9 came in cup games.
Furthermore, we also have 8 defenders for 4 positions, in fact one might even argue that we have 9 with Quansah.
Al Ittihad prepared to offer ÂŁ200m for Salah
One source has told Sky Sports News that Al Ittihad are prepared to go to ÂŁ200m to sign Mohamed Salah.
Theyâve had a bid worth ÂŁ150m rejected and Liverpool say heâs not for sale. (Source: Sky Sports)
At this rate, itâll be ÂŁ1b by midnightâŠ
Donât know how long heâs injured.
Lewis is already proven to be part of Cityâs first team squad, Bradley is yet do to that.
Iâm not even going to get into the comparisons over quality, we can remain at quantity.
