People who believe that the money is gonna be reinvested are deluded. There has been NO indications whatsoever of this happening and in fact reports suggest that a large part of it is gonna go towards 'balancing the books'. Heck, our past history with selling stars would enforce that notion
I don't want to be fuckin' Man City. I don't want us to be spending money willy nilly and creative an unstainable enviornment. What I want is for us to have the fucking ability to retain our stars. To not have a overbloated wage bill for squad mostly filled with shit players. To have a GM who has even a minute shred of business sense and doesn't have his actions dictated by the love of his players. To have an actual plan of youth development. To have an ACTUAL fuckin' project, one that doesn't require us to sell our stars every fucking year
This shit was supposed to be over when we sold Kaka. It was supposed to be over when we bought Ibra. It was supposed to be over when the management boasted about plans of having a project
We sell Silva and buy a couple of more players from part of the money. One of them, if we are lucky, will become a star and then what? We sell him off for profit too and repeat the cycle?
What are we? Fuckin' Udinese?
+1 The way things are going, a CL spot will be our most optimistic target for next season. If Silva leaves, I guarantee more players will follow.
Ibra's career will end soon, he will want to win something before that. Obviously not happening in this team so he will hand in a transfer request.
After Ibra and Thiago are gone, Boateng and Cassano will seriously consider their options.
Take our current squad and look at who's left without these players. We will be a mid table team.
