Say to the clubs chasing our players to submit written sealed bids by say the end of the week, then if it meets City's valuation, take the top one, then give Greaves/Philo permission to talk to them about their own terms etc...Then get into the market and spend every single penny on replacements plus.
The SMC pays for the pitch, City and FC pay the SMC, so technically yes (though in reality it’s unlikely they paid much more than they would have done if we hadn’t got a new pitch).
Which to me sounds like Palace offering 25million for Philogene (with a good sell on) with a deal also on the cards for Rak Sakyi.
That was then this is now. Perhaps he wasn’t keen on playing walking football. I wouldn’t mind if a player refused us in the past but actually wants to be here now. Think it would be unlike anyway.
£20 million for each, plus add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause for both will probably be the best deal we can get.
