You lot are more educated and into the English pyramid, these big clubs (not strictly English) balance there books how?

• Academy sales?
• buy low, sell high?
• sell high because of prestige of ones football club?
• constant links that are abused between two clubs (cant think of any off top of my head but we contaslty buy off particular clubs, do we not?)

Understand Chelsea always have a large squad of bought and academy kids often loaned out for multiple years then sold.

Man United sell academy kids with the prestige attached

City sell because, well City

Arsenal seem like the most like us but im probably way off the mark with this

Liverpool seem similar to Chelsea. Use the "pool' pull to bring guys in and with the recent successes are selling off high now

Unsure on Real / Barca / PSG etc but they seem to use the prestigiousness of ones football club to bring people in and sell them off. I mean rumours of Anstu Fati for ridiculous amounts is being thrown around even with him not playing.

Meanwhile, feels like we are competing with Villa, Newcastle, West Ham etc and playing by the rules.     Correct me if Im wrong but that's what it feels like to my simple uneducated brain
