    Not sure how accurate, but I read an article that said we’d earned roughly €93m (£80m).

    Not sure how accurate it is, but the money is gained from a combination of these, apparently:

    • Participation fee
    • Prize money
    • UEFA coefficient
    • TV pool

    It goes into depth and breaks down each part. I just skimmed through, but this is the site if you were more focused than I xD.

    As for how we spend it, I don’t know… I think we definitely need more depth. I think cover for Saka would be good. I’m not sure about a striker, but I’ve felt we’ve been quite one dimensional up for a long time. I was hoping Eddie could be a difference maker, but I think a combination of Arteta’s tactics and Eddie being relatively young and not as refined hasn’t helped.

      I think Eddie has succumbed to the same problem that Sambi did and that Zinchenko might soon: the team progressed faster than he could

        I’ve seen the word trust used a lot when people speak about who Arteta prefers to play and there has to be some merit to it. I think you’re also right. The way we play feels like it’s moved beyond what roles they may have been expected to play.

        One of the prices of success, I guess. You look at how ruthless City are at times when selling/moving on players that go against the grain, like Cancelo. One of the best fullbacks in Europe one season and is sent on loan the next.

          Cancelo had a falling out with Pep, no?

            I believe so. At least from my understanding.

            I was more pointing out that the whole is more than the sum of its parts and tough decisions need to be made regardless of who it may be.

      If we can, we should just transition Jesus as Saka coverage, but his health is not reliable.

        Unless we get a sizeable price for him, I think we should keep him for now. But availability is a big point of contention. Same as Zinny, Partey and possibly Tomiyasu
