We got nearly £300m in prize money last season, we’re selling academy kids left and right for what? We don’t need the money. I’d understand it if we were making moves in the transfer market. We’re sat still.

Most of that £300m - probably £200m+ - would have been expected and therefore budgeted for in the normal course of running expenses. It's not as if we've unexpectedly come into £300m. The kids we're selling would have been assessed very closely by our coaching team and been deemed surplus to requirements, either because they weren't good enough or had the wrong mental attitude/strength to make it at the very top. We're getting good money for them - with buy back clauses or sell on fees - whilst their stock is high after 3 consecutive PL2 titles. Great business, overall, IMHO.

Agree totally BM

The academy is now bearing fruit regularly and is fulfilling the purpose.

I do think we could give more chances from the subs bench to a couple more lads to broaden their experience and exposure but I'm not privy to what happens at the training ground. I suspect bringing on a first teamer with 10 minutes to go rather than a young lad has more to do with contractual obligations around appearances and thus bonuses for that player

Isco to Real Betis on a free. There was me thinking he might come to City at long last!

Pep talking about the academy sales -

Guardiola added: "We sell a lot [of players], normally with a buyback [clause]. To make £80m or £85m just from the academy is unbelievable.

"That shows how good the club is working. I am pretty sure that one or some of them maybe will be back here with us. [I'm] really pleased."


I wonder who he’s referring to.

I have a feeling that if we can convince Lavia to stick it out with Southampton for another season we’ll get him next summer. The problem is the amount of clubs in for him - Liverpool, Rags, Arsenal, Chelsea..

I'll bet he doesn't wear the rainbow laces either. Bit of a hypocrite eh Jordan. I see he's getting stick from the community that he wrote 900 words in support of. Still,the reported £700K a week should ease his conscience

It's truly amazing what massive amounts of cash can to to a person's morals and fervent beliefs. Just proves, yet again, everybody has their price.
