City fans genuinely think we're bankrolled by Joe Lewis
i love it when people trot that one out
so many people haven't got a clue how well run of a club we are.

But we paid less than that because they still owed us money for Kaboul and Mendes
There was less cash moving outwards, but that doesn't make the player any less expensive - we wrote off an asset (money owed to us) and paid the rest.
The only way it would make a difference is if we thought the other club was going to default on payments and had already written off the debt (to be fair, that isn't entirely unlikely).

Defoe cost less then 10m because anything over 10m we would have had to announce it the stock exchange and we didn't.

If we manage to sell Bassong, Piennaar, Jenas, Bentley, Gomes, Dos Santos and Corulka for decent fees we could actually have a net level spend by the start of the summer. Erring on the low side we could get:
Bassong 4m
Pienaar 3m
Jenas 4m
Bentley 4m
Gomes 5m
Corluka 4m
Gio 6m
Thats 29m there in Squad players we dont want or need. And a huge saving on the wage bill.

Some brilliant "Ins" in that lot

I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up letting Bentley and Gio go for nothing

Jenas and Dio have 1 year left on their contracts. WE wont be getting much for either of them.
Gomes will leave on a free. We'll be happy to let Bentley leave on a free considering his wages.
Reportedly the fee agreed for Corluka is low.
We'd be lucky to get over 12m for the lot.

bloody excellent work from Levy & Harry...=D>
Quite the contrary in fact - many are concerned those elusive marquee signings have been coming for 2 years now yet we end up with old crocks on 6-month loans. If anything - I'd like to see us a make 1-2 major signings demonstrating intent and direction for where (hopefully) we should be going

I'm pretty sure he's a 4 + 2 type contract

Players with one year on their contract are still worth some money. Its not like they will go for free. I beleive we can extend Gomes and Gio so i can see both being sold for a decent enough amount.
Anyway my point was not to really say we could make a bundle on them, just saying if we sold that lot we could be close to breaking even Transfer money wise over Harry's period. You have to hope we are saving some dosh up for some big purchases.
I would like to see a Summer where we buy 2 Quality players and thats it. With Naughton and Caulker coming back its like new signings after their experience. So a Flying Winger and another striker alongside Ade. We have brad for next season, so maybe a keeper to fight brad and be ready to take over.
