Qwiss people worrying about this are the ones calling Myles and Ethan "pure profit"
Firstly, yes. Secondly, but.
A slightly less blunt way to look at it is: transfer losses are a good sign for a winning club planning to stay winning, but still shouldn't consistently outpace revenue gains, nor ignore squad composition and our capacity to offer fringe players the minutes that sustain their transfer values.
If it's burning shitloads of cash and player capital, a club has to prepare at longer range for the predictable period of rebuilding forced by the reality of that.
Selling players at the right time is what's crucial. My take is we should be actively expecting a big transfer loss this summer because we're currently the incumbent champions. We have the best foundations of any club in our league both to stay winning and growing in revenue and power. We just need to remain aware that's the glorious present and it's not going to last forever.
This might be the only summer we have this advantage. City have temporarily lost theirs. Liverpool have squandered theirs on Isak and Wirtz among others.
This does likely end up meaning tough decisions about players such as the player Nwaneri could be in a couple of seasons if he doesn't work out (or anyone else) ... just not now. We went through this with Emile. We're going to start going through it with many of the heroes who just won us the league.
I want us to win major trophies so relentlessly people forget Pep Guardiola ever managed a football club. I don't ask much.
