Another sign that football is truly fhucked really

Clubs like City prepared to spunk £70m on a player they don't really need and clubs like Everton prepared to accept it for players they absolutely do need.

Could Google I suppose but can't be arsed.

What did we pay for N'Diaye? £18m?

Take the money and run. He's good, but not THAT good. Weve had far better gracing our wings.

In short, FCUK him!

its not like this is a new thing is it?

Chelsea brought delap last year and bombed him out (for a profit) this.

Teams like city & chelsea (and to an extent others in the "big 6") snap up as many of the up & coming talents knowing that even if they fail to make it, they can sell them on.

Amazing that both City & Chelsea have all these charges etc (and nothing happens) yet can still spend billions of pounds on players

All.ive seen is click bait, is there any substance to all this or is this today's knickers in a twist?

Difference between an owner who wants a trophy club for long term sports washing purposes and an owner that wants to ‘flip’ an investment in the short term.

Where has this idea they want to sell already, come from? Elton Welsby?

Selling him on for a big profit is the model we have all been praising other clubs doing for years.

Now we do it, we are about to be ‘flipped’.

Where is the substance in this latest narrative?

I wasn’t referring to Ndiaye.

TFG will flip their investment in the club.

They bought a distressed asset with external debt and will make a big return assuming we stay in the premier league.

I wasn’t referring to Illy either.

Again, where’s the substance to this? The Echo? That bastion of inside knowledge and trusted journalism?

It's just a rumour. Fans can repeat this stuff and known nobody can ever pick them up on it. And somewhat if they sell it? Buying it, restructirjng the debt, finishing the stadium and stabilising the club. That's actually worth real money

It’s the basic private equity model.

Do you think TFG bought the club because they are super blues?

No but I certainly don’t think they bought it to flip it in the short term. It’s easy to say they will sell, of course they will, but not n the next few years in my opinion. This narrative seems to come with a sense that they are already looking to offload. Nobody has a clue so can say anything.

Why would they sell now? How much would they make? A nonsense.

Nothing to do with Welsby. The Echo lads discussed it on the Royal Blue months ago, as have other journalists,
