Looking more and more likely. 40m is being touted so barely our money back. Doesnt make a lot of sense unless he has kicked up a fuss and wants to go. We invested two years in him and just as he is coming good we let him go for a slight loss only to have to replace him for someone who likely costs more and will need another settling period.


Accepting 40m for him is just ridiculous. The stupidity of that defies logic.

Ake might have said he wants to leave (doubt it after saying 2 weeks ago he wants to stay) and because we’ve got our attitude of “if they want to leave they can” it puts us on the back foot straight away because other clubs know we’ll let them go.

The only one we’ve stood firm with is Bern.

I doubt we would let him go without a replacement incoming. The club know the state we were in defensively at the end of last seasin and now Fern cannot be used there it would make no sense

Everton bought Richarlison for £50m and they’re selling him for the same price to Spurs. Weird.

Looks like they need the money to helo with FFP according to the beeb. He was their only player last season and they barely stayed up. They will be fucked without him unless this takeover goes through

Ah okay. I can see another relegation scrap for them this season then. He basically kept them up on his own.

Wasted a similar amount of money on Ali as well. Mental.

I read that they need money in their accounts today or they might get a points deduction so think they had no choice.

Thought Alli was basically a free transfer with a huge amount of add ins based on appearances etc. and since he is shit even for Evertons standards they have barely paid anything transfer fees for him. Wages on the other hand

And only a two year contract? So he’s out of contract at the end of this season? Who wins in that transfer :lol:

Don't really think that's the case.
It's more like what John keeps saying, we've just gone to another level.

I don’t think it’s just that, some of the players leaving were offered a new contract and are choosing to leave us.

Our academy system is working just fine and doing the job it was designed to do.
During the season, our youth teams are winning the lot as is the first team.
Both City and the kids understand the situation. City have the best first team squad in the Prem and there is a conveyor belt of talent pushing on behind.
For a kid, it's a winn win situation, He gets well looked after, gets a great education that City pay for, he has the hope that if it all turns out right, he'll get to play for an amazing club in an amazing team with amazing players. He will understand that the chances of making the first team will be very slender but he can expect to earn a decent living elsewhere.
To get a first team place is one of the most difficult achievements in the game. A kid not only has to prove that he is a good player, he has to show he is potentially World class.

For the club, again it's a win win situation, we get to cherry pick the very best and still have a great reservoir of kids to sell on for a huge profit.
I KNOW THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU THINK I WROTE, BUT I AM NOT SURE YOU REALISE THAT WHAT YOU READ IS NOT WHAT I MEANT

I was referring to Jesus and Sterling. Both offered new deals and are choosing to leave.

Unsure if any of the kids leaving were offered new contracts.

But those two are the proof that we've moved up a level. When they joined they were both amongst those who's names would be first on the team sheet. They both now realise that the level has gone up and they will get limited playing time.
