Man city squad analysis 20 players >21 (foden, garcia are u21)

Foreign players: 15 (max 17). 595.4mil
Ederson 61.2m
Steffen 7.0m
Zinchenko 1.7m
Laporte 57m
Mendy 52m
Cancelo 60m
dias 31.5
Gundogan 20m
rodri 68m
KDB 55mil
Silva 43m
Fernandinho 12m
Torres 40m
Jesus 27m
Mahrez 60m
Aguero free to open spot

Homegrown quota: 5 (Max 8) 166mil
Carson 0
Ake 25
Walker 45m
Stones 47m
Sterling 49m

total spend = 761.4 mil or average of 38mil per player.

If they bought kane and grealish for 100mil each or whatever there would be no impact to their quotas. They have 2 more foreign player slots open in thier squad also. Theres room for haaland for example.

I fully expect 3 or 4 players to be purchased and a net spend of around 300mil.
 
LFC squad analysis

Foreign players: 15 (max 17). 465mil
Alisson 57
Adrian 0
Van Dijk 75
Konate 36
Tsimikas 8
Matip 0
Fabinho 39m
Thiago 25m
Keita 57m
Shaqiri 13m
Firmino 29m
Mane 34m
Salah 36m
Jota 45m
Origi 10m

Homegrown quota: 8 68.5
Gomez 3
robertson 8m
Davies :) 1.5m
Phillips 0
TAA 0
Milner 0
Henderson 16
Ox 40


Note that both williams, kelleher, jones and elliott are under 21

total spend = 533.5Mil or 23 mil per player

We have lots of homegrown "players" :) we do have only 15 slots so before players go out there are 2 open slots left to bring in a couple more players to the foreign list, I would seriously doubt we will bring in a "homegrown" player at this point in time , even with a clear out and milner retiring we would have 5 right now.

clearly open for mbappe and haaland to please some on here.

the difference in the two squad in "reserves" is clear some of ours would struggle to get a game for the 17th placed prem team. All of city's players would play for a top 6 club most likely (marginal on mendy and jesus imo)

It's very simple - let's go out and buy Bellingham and Sancho. Boosts the squad and the HG numbers. Simples.

we should have tried for bellingham just a tad harder when he left brumland.

At this point Dortmund are one of the worst clubs to try deal with. they don't need to cash so horde young players up. they underachieve if anything as they have too many young players

wouldn't have made any difference from what i've seen .
He seems a pretty grounded lad and made sure Brum got decent money for him and he wanted to go somewhere with pretty clear path to first team football and Germany in general and Dormund in particular were clear favourites due to the flow of young players who have gone there from UK and flourished .
Oh and his agent seemed more interested in his long term future than a quick poubd unlike quite a few .

they got 25mil for him.

If we really thought he was a top player we coudl top the offer to him without question. hes only on about 50k per week there lol.

thats the level of commitment dortmund put in.

not one person here last summer would have said forget thaigo, go get bellingham for 25mil and pay him 100k per week.

Moneyball in the right environment works. I do not expect any major signing for Liverpool. I fully expect us to purchase Jota like players who are undervalued in the market but whose data suggests a massive upside

Now that's a question.

If first we thought the risk of the fee worth it and if second we thought paying a child 100k per week was a risk worth taking then maybe he would have had his head turned.

It really is a lot of ifs.

Are lfc more attractive than Dortmund? All day every day imo.

Would he get games? Maybe.

Would he be worth the risk? Last summer no. This summer it's obvious yes.

That's the game isnt it?
