I'm sure there will be more sales, especially once Grealish is signed. So it's not like they just #### on FFP (as if FFP was still relevant lol), they actually sell well.
same for Chelsea and Liverpool, by the way. Chelsea have made around £50m for Tomori, Guehi and Moses, while Liverpool have made almost £30m for Wilson, Awoniyi and Grujic. It's quite impressive actually how much money these clubs make by moving deadwood.

I guess that’s true. Spurs has quite a lot of deadwood and we could raise a significant chunk of money, assuming we could find buyers for everyone. It adds up and then you throw some cash in as a club and you can have quite the war chest.
I just prefer to think that City is a trophy buying machine and Pep is a chequebook manager though. It makes me more at ease with our shortcomings.
