City were not prepared to give into alexis sanchez and his wage demands as they feared it set a benchmark for their other players to demand which would be unsustainable.

Now we face a situation where herrera could leave for psg who will offer him more money. David de gea has not signed a new contract as he wants parity on what sanchez is earning.

Worst signing the club has ever made all things considered?

Worst signing ever might be a bit of hyperbole. But he certainly wasn't a smart signing. But then which signings have been great under Ed Woodward?

The issue with wages is more to do with the club being "maxed out" within FFP regulations. So the club need to reduce the wage bill before we can add to it. Ergo we need to sell players and cut the wages before new contracts and new signings can be made.

Yeah, seems to be basically that we need to get rid of a hundred grand a week player to be able to offer both Herrera and De Gea fifty grand extra each.

At least we got an expert in his field in Ed dealing with the finances.

Rojo, Darmian, Valencia should free up a bit but only ones confirmed so far. Either have to pay off Sanchez or maybe a shock departure.
