My last word on the subject of Rayan Ait Nouri, as I have said before he had one year left on his contract plus a one year option in our favour. I still feel it was cheap!
A player that also has one year left with a one year option is Mbeuno at Brentford. I wonder if they are going to sell him cheap!

Ken it's not just RAN who's been sold too cheaply. Wolves have made it quite clear that they are or have been a selling club thanks to Fosun's 'stand alone' policy.

They have to sell players due to the lack of income development initiatives and support from the owners and the World and his dog know that. Allegedly, this season has taught Fosun that this approach is an expensive fast track to relegation and changes are being made, but old habits die hard.

Let's hope a line will be drawn in the sand from now on as the aforementioned changes of personnel and attitudes take effect. In contrast they seem insistent on £25M for Silva and no less.

I just wonder how the free ranging style of Ait Nouri and Cunha will work at City and fit with Pep's game.

Selling Fabio at a £10mil loss? RESULT! I hope nobody thinks we could get more money for him! When he was crap at Rangers I thought we would have to give him away, and subsidise his wages until the end of his contract!

In the accounts it'll be almost all profit as he's been on our books for almost 5 years.

Exactly East all players are written down over the course of their contract so on the books he owes the club next to nothing in terms of his transfer value.

Just 5 years of high wages on top

Which is why the difference between the buying and the selling price is not profit or loss. Once the cost of ownership, things like, wages, insurance, travel, subsistence is taken into account things look very different.
