You can't have your bed and eat it too

Irregardless of what, he's made his bed and now will have to deal with the consequences.

About what, pacifically?

I could care less.

I totally agree 200%

Take it up with Jed Bartlet.

Ended up down a Tik Tok rabbit hole today on good old Elmer Bernstein. What a bloke. The number of belter theme tunes he knocked up is quite staggering. Ended up listening to a few of them performed and it’s mind boggling how the orchestra is put together. Also made me a bit gutted that I’ve never seen a proper big orchestra in the flesh. Would love to a movie theme sort of night. (As long as I don’t have to dress up and wave union jacks) Anyway @Howmanheyman here’s 2 for you to watch with your tea. (But you knew I was going to say that, didn’t you) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RDG-MVReDrRwo&playnext=1&si=ThX5k5cbiNehf55a https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RD85vYBoiLpuE&playnext=1&si=JHIUym-pb97jb3tE

The phrase "very unique" is often considered incorrect by traditional grammar standards because "unique" means "one of a kind"—something either is unique or it isn't, so it can't logically be "very" unique. However, in modern usage, especially in informal or creative contexts, people sometimes use "very unique" to emphasize how unusual or distinctive something is. While it's not technically precise, it's increasingly accepted in casual speech and writing. I'm just modern, you dinosaur.

Something can’t be very unique. It’s either unique or it isn’t. :sigh: God I miss actual football.

ah now i get you.

Yeah I meant just open the window and keep it open but only allow you to play new players in the CWC who you have signed before a certain point. Then the window stays open and you (and everyone else) can sign players, you just can play them until next season. From what I've read, pace is the problem with Cherki. Certainly looks like a talented player though.

not sure if i'm reading that right. the whole point is so that the new signings can play in the CWC. saw this on twitter. not sure we're going to spend almost as much on Livramento as we do on the other 3 new names in that. Livra to City is a non starter in my eyes. Cherki looks like a mix of David Silva and KDB in his highlight video. can't be right at 30m

Aye just say that the teams in the CWC can't play anyone in the competition that they sign in after a certain date. In effect that's exactly what it is anyway.

I don't see Howe letting Tino go unless we're talking silly 100M+ money. He's a very unique player, not just a great defender already but he's one of our best ball carriers and he links up play very well. If he adds a bit of end product going forward he'll be world class, and there were signs of that already towards the end of the season when he took Hall's position down the left. Another year or two under Howe will see further development, he's only turned 22.

yep negotiations will continue and then get signed later. but some will happen sooner. think the window would have opened on the 6th but they brought it forward to help the CWC teams. i think fifa only allow the window to be open for a fixed number of days hence them shutting it again for a few days. all a bit daft just make an exception and leave it open. no one cares.

sorry but to be honest i'm not even sure what he looks like. not dissing him, i just only pay attention to city. hence i know little about Reindeer, Cherki, Ait-Nouri. fairly sure he's white and english and was injured for a while

Yeah everyone has a price. But I think our position on full backs and the versatility of Tino means he'll be considered too high an investment - even for Man City.

it was just an example of how the window could affect you. All City's players, and all your players are available for the right price. every one, but i agree, i think he would be too expensive.

You're desperate for this to be the case, aren't you? Let's just say if Livramento goes, it'll have to be a massive fee. We paid over £30m for him and he's since become a mainstay and broken into the England team. Anything short of £75m will likely be laughed off.

I'd be VERY surprised if Tino was allowed to go unless you were throwing us some serious money, we can't afford to lose him tbh.

My old man regularly used to make work trips up to Glasgow and went A69 / A74(M). He went up there the first week of January 1989 and I remember him telling us the crater was considerably bigger than the pictures on the TV were suggesting. He said the whole appearance of Sherwood Crescent was what he imagined the Blitz must have been like. That following weekend the British Midland landed on the M1 and my Mam said she was never going in a plane again! We were in Majorca the following month!

I really don't see how this mini window shit works anyway. It's not like everyone is just going to stop sorting out deals while the world cup is on. Surely everything will just keep going, they'll just have to wait a few weeks to confirm the deals.
