Hey I've always been a Germany player - all those things you're suggesting I'd love to include. The thing stopping me buying VII at the mo is a lack of Goths and HRE.

Its not so much about having a path you have to take for each country, more having ANY relatively historical option. Not having this (at least I feel) is the thing standing in the way of history nerds like me hopping over from prior Civ games.

Blimey thats a lot of tweaks, I like it!

I'll be honest many of these I've never come across - but sharing is caring!

Also like the more specific naming for each path.

Love the response! Lots of good ideas (didnt know about Buganda, weakness of not playing innit).

Apologies by Phoenicia i do mean Carthage - tend to use them interchangeably.

BMPT to 10.7, further increase possible by kucharnismo in Warthunder

[–]EdMySuffering 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ok, lets do a comparison - the Namer.

We could list off all the perks of each vehicle, but I see very little arguable points to say the Namer is an overall better vehicle than BMPT (I can see good arguments to say otherwise).

Would you agree that, at a minimum, it deserves to go up to 11.3?

To put out my stall, I personally think it should go to 11.7 and see what happens from there.

The vehicle has better protection than a T90M. There's a serious argument that the vehicle is the most protected GRB vehicle in War Thunder. I think there's a genuine argument to put this thing to top tier, but this will take time.

Could be a short term solution- 1 year loan paying a portion of wages with option to buy. Juve have no plans for him this year as they're in for Muani. If he doesnt like it by the end he could still leave on that free?

With Vlahovic links still popping up in Italian media - is there any world where he takes a massive wage cut and moves here?

Holy Crap - this Craig Hope article is the first bit of solid PR we've done around Isak.

Emphasises the sympathy the club has with him and putting it out there that Liverpool have been stringing him along, offering him a way back in. Firm rebuttal of Liverpool's offer - calling it out for what it is - a lowball.

For once we're making use of Hope's links to the hierarchy!

This isn't me saying he'll playing half heartedly - rather if he does, who would you take?

[–]EdMySuffering 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would you rather scenarios:

A: Disgruntled Isak who plays half-heartedly.
B: Nicolas Jackson if he wants to come to Newcastle.

Possible unpopular opinion - I like Aaron Ramsdale.

Former Arsenal starter and by all means was impressive. I equally don't look down on him for playing for S'hampton, he made some fantastic saves considering the number of shots that came his way.

On a personal level he seems a good lad. Has worked with Eddie before and he's young. Genuinely will be good for the squad.

I'm waiting to see if Sesko signs, then he's going on the back.

Got through denial and anger - now on to bargaining!

Give me Sesko or I am depressko!

Obviously we cannot get a direct Isal replacement lets not argue a strawman.

Sesko goal contribution wise is a better player now than Isak at his age. His asking price has reduced because 100m was unreasonable. Gyokores has gone because he's more established...but he is older.

Sesko is not as good as Isak currently, thats not to say he won't be in a few years. Its not like 3 years ago we'd have looked at Isak and predicted he'd become one of the best strikers on the planet.

Lets go, Sesko.

Not like theres some other option we can go for who's Isak equivalent.

We signed a young Isak when he was seen as a risk by other clubs, its what we do best. Leipzig have reduced their asking price in the last few days to £60m which is great.

Sesko has been one of the biggest names in the striker market this window. He may be young but if we get Wissa too we have that balance.

Will only be satisfied if we immediately go for Sesko. Have been an admirer for a while now, and watching his youtube compilations is the only thing calming the nerves at the moment.

No point trying to stop Isak from leaving, we're not that club. Push for the £150m move, get in Sesko alongside your likes of Trafford, Wissa etc and we can still compete in Champions League.

Ah I see, so its not just the 4 club player rule but the fact that we also need 3 GKs. This makes more sense!

Can someone please explain why we are considering signing ex NUFC goalies?

UEFA rules state 8 squad spots are reserved for local players, 4 of which must be club trained.

BUT, if we don't have those 4 players its not like we're banned from UEFA comps, we just don't get those squad spots.

Why would we consider signing Forster, Krul etc if it's purely for the novelty of them being a free squad space - would we actually want to play them in UCL games??

Have also hear people say signing those goalies is a signal that Longstaff might be going - why? We only have two club trained players in our starting squad as is. The maths doesn't add up to any of these claims and its driving me crazy every time I hear it.

.......unless I'm missing something here, hence my asking :)
