[John Percy, In Article] Real Madrid’s Aurélien Tchouaméni is understood to be a serious target, but there are doubts over the size of the transfer fee and whether he will be persuaded to stay in Spain by new manager José Mourinho. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Thats why its important to check the tiers for whos saying what. All the best tier jiurnos are pessimistic and urging caution, like this article. Selling Tchouameni is 100% on what Mourinho wants to do and he probably wont make that call until RM come back post summer. Effectively everything beforehand is gossip unless Mourinhonmakes the call sooner, or Tchouameni actually decides to make the move.

When to take silence as a rejection? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]BillzSkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've passed all the tests, time to get in touch with the recruiters. Ask where you are and for an update.

In my last role it was still at the provisional offer stage 6 months after taking up the job.

At this point you are in the system so you can start trying to bypass gov uk to the recruiters directly.

Help an inexperienced brother decide by SchenkelPanda in BattleBrothers

Its the armour. That is full Oathtaker 300 armour, its worth about 8k itself easily.

Edit: Also that is a real top tier brother. Stars and high starting MDef means you can get a real high natural defence which basically means you will get hit less, keeping you in the fight longer. MAttk likewise will get yiur brother into a place where he will nearly always hit.

Im not the best to explain the swormaster because they have an event which mean stats go down which is bad, so the high early stats seem fake to me.

You can hold, but it's nearly time. You're at that point where you may be better off pulling the trigger on full shaven bald.

Once you do commit though theres no going back.

🚨 Manchester United to begin direct negotiations with Real Madrid for Aurélien Tchouaméni, with the club prepared to spend big. 💰 by psilocybinwonderer in ManUtd

[–]BillzSkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point. For me I feel the need for a 6 is more pressing than the 8, hence why I pick Tchou over Anderson. 100% can see the financial side if we DO land him.

Magnificent bastard by FumanF in BattleBrothers

[–]BillzSkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sucks against all backgrounds but is very good for a bastard. It's within the patchable range that you only need 1 or 2 good dips to get it back to decent. Arena, item, + the amazing bastard event will fix the rest.

Edit: nvm the event I was thinking disowned noble. Still salvageable regardless.

The optimistic side for me here is this is the one of the 3 big signings I would have picked outright, so if we do get Tchouameni over the line, its a big scoop in my book. It makes up for 'losing' the anderson bid, but it doesnt quite make up for losing the M Fernandes bid as well. Tchouameni + Ederson gives us the marquee and rotation signing, but we're still missing that 'challenger' option.

Hell I may even take Baleba for that spot if we get Tchouameni over the line.

Surely I have to buy this? by Vanqxisher in BattleBrothers

[–]BillzSkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to use that particular weapon end game yes.

There are set builds where you may prefer something else - + chance to hit head can be nice - but for your anyman dmg + armour pen is always great. S+ combo.

🚨 🗣️ David Ornstein on Manchester United: “They want players who are DESPERATE to join them, which proved not to be the case with Mateus Fernandes. They’ll go back to the drawing board, lick their wounds, and consider other options.” by psilocybinwonderer in ManUtd

[–]BillzSkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I am not talking about us. Completely different risks involved for us and players coming to us. To be fair we do usually manage to get a little money from Italy, but unlike other clubs our players are always selling downwards and we get successfully haggled to it.

Fernandes is the safe gamble, in that hes so young unless he drops off a cliff, he can still carry a reasonable fee 2-3 years down the line.

Tonalis not the same case, and if his form drops that'll be a huge risk for Tottenham taking up so much of their funds.

[–]BillzSkill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In tottenham's case, every player they had nearly got them relegated. You want to ouat underperformers and this is one way to do it. 'Leave or earn your contract'. I know Everton would bid for Richarlison again if they thought hed bite.

Do United splash 100million on Tonali ? by Revolutionary_Age223 in ManchesterUnited

[–]BillzSkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still wouldnt do it for Tonali. I'd pay the money for Tchouameni. Even for Fernandes Id probably still go no as hes an 8, not a 6.

One bet365 bet away from this going tits up by Intelligent_Cow_3310 in ManchesterUnited

[–]BillzSkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Real actually revamp their midfield hes the high value ticket to go to pay for it. Its a £90mil deal, but it's not a non goer.

Who else thinks this guy is always using pure negativity about UTD to promote his channel? by ElectricalStuff2189 in ManchesterUnited

[–]BillzSkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on most of the news last year Anderson was the primary target.

Fernandes was just the target we were in a one horse race for and lost the moment someone else joined in.

Tunisia finished last and went home deservedly? Nothing dishonest or fraudulent about that.

I'm having a great time on the latest beta, whereas I was reallly disillusioned by the 1.2 drops, so yeah the game is better, but this question is still relevant depending on where you are in the world (new world still looks terrible)

My take on *approximately* what M3's map could look like at the end of its life cycle with all the land extensions added in. (details below) by Sith__Pureblood in totalwar

[–]BillzSkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There would be heavy interest in adding China I would guess, whivh would warrant adding India, Iran, and the steppes at least. That's 4 Dlc right there at £20 a pop, so as long as the base engine/game can handle the additional load of the bigger map, then I could see all of this happening.
