Moving this into right thread, but media are saying city want both bouaddi and fernadez. Seriously, what the fuck. Authorities are good for nothing, and city are saying fuck it.
116 Anderson, 85 bouaddi, 120 fernandez, in one summer.
I don't think they'll stop this summer, they'll splurge in January too. They're gonna keep spending and spending to give Maresca a side he can win everything with - and they'll make the books work.
In other news Boehly is looking to sell his stake and exit Chelsea. Clearlake got fed up. He's had a catastrophic impact on Chelsea's finances. They're properly fucked. Now Eghbali is tasked with picking up the pieces.
And that Gonzalez bloke, who has been there about a year, is off to Newcastle. No doubt it’ll stink, with a dodgy handshake between the Saudi’s and the Sheikh’s.

City have miraculously managed to get 85.6m for Savinho
Someone described the deal as the equivalent of having 4 barbershops within 100 yards of each other
Don't forget they "signed" him from another team in the Abu Dhabi group.
Reminds me of a road in a local city here that is just nail salons, barbers and shisha bars. They never exist longer than 18 months, swap and change places up and down the street, occasionally the police build a case quick enough and raid a couple, but it's pretty much blatant corruption and money laundering in plain sight.
You have to have a team willing to pay these fees though. I don’t think Tottenham are ‘in’ on anything. If anything, they’re burning through money and have little to show for it.
£75m on a lad with a goal and assist from 24 league games last season and 1 goal and 8 assists the year before from 29 games. I would be livid if we were anywhere near something like that. That on top of a bloke who is absolutely abysmal at betting and has jumped the first chance he’s got at Newcastle, a lad who has cost the earth who has got relegated in back to back seasons and a 30-odd year old Robertson, who looks like he’s on the decline. The only business I like is the van Hecke signing for them.
Some of their fans genuinely reckon they have a chance of the title this year.
We all know City's buys are corrupt as fuck. Their selling will be too, we just don't know how. But because of the rules, they can't spend 800m in 18 months without selling lots of players for above market rate. The two have to work together in order to stay within the rules, so they have to both be corrupt to fund this colossal level of spending.
It merits further investigation. It'll be shit like a guarantee of first dibs on City players in the future. This is less corrupt, more a gentleman's agreement which I've heard goes on anyway. But I wouldn't even be surprised if City gave the buying club a few quid, off the books, to sweeten the deal. Again, a thing that happens in business to ensure contracts go through and whatnot.
It's not like Prem clubs are innocent and saintly other than City. They're all entirely self interested which is encouraged by the fact the Prem is a private members club that runs itself.

So City are cooking the books again by hiding the Marmoush transfer fee inside Savinho’s just to avoid paying Frankfurt certain sell-on clause.
Marmoush will be sold for lesser fee because the bigger chunk of the transfer fee is hidden in Savinho’s transfer fee.
Makes sense tbf. Explains why Savinho is costing nearly 86m ffs. Helps City with the new squad cost ratio rules as it increases the net profit of the deal.
