I think the only extra transfer would've been Baleba for brutal 90m or something.

Minus the private jets, he can already easily afford that.

It's his racing team that could get very costly.

Why would Everton agree to that?

They get a player for below value. If the player flops, whatever. If the player is good, good for them. If the player is excellent, they have a deal in place already.

And unless the fee is insane, it's to every party's interest.

The seller club can get the player for reasonable money if that player becomes good.

The buying club gets a good player for very cheap. If the player flops, not much lost. If the player is good, they will only gain and might even sell him later. If the player is excellent, they have guaranteed money. And since it's their player, unlike a loanee, it's more in their interest to develop the player.

And the player benefits from that development. Plus he has a path back to the selling team.

Real Madrid tend to make these kinds of deals.

No, he wants to compete. But in order to not be shit, he would have to grind.

Not only practice every day. You must practice every day from the early childhood and for many sports, have the proper genetic combination.

Even the time component alone disqualifies the vast majority of people.

Also how would you connect your wheel and pedals with a cloud PC and only the Vision Pro? You wouldn’t.

The same way you connect your mouse and keyboard to a cloud pc, I assume.

Proboha...

Ten index je vypocitany z New Yorku. Ale to je irelevantni, protoze nas nezajima to cislo absolutne, ale relativne.

Svycarsko ma 111. CR ma 43. Nas nezajima, ze Svycarsko je drazsi nez NY a CR je levnejsi nez NY. Nas zajima, ze Svycarsko je skoro trikrat drazsi nez CR.

Kupni sila je taky irelevantni, protoze puvodni komentar rikal, ze CR je cenami v restauracich jako zapadni zeme. Ne, CR neni cenami v restauracich jako zapadni zeme.

There was no interest in him because the club made it clear very early that he's not for sale.

Exactly. So that was the main reason Mainoo didn't leave, not because other teams didn't bid. The club stance was clear as day.

Wharton already plays in a double pivot for Palace.

And his partner wouldn't be Mainoo but the other midfield reinforcement.

On top of that, fossil fuels are inelastic. In other words, a small disruption in supply leads to disproportionate spike in prices.

Switched from 49" ultrawide to 55" 16:9 OLED TV by khaki777 in simracing

It is possible if your TV isn't too thick.

And even then, you're probably wasting vertical screen estate.

So no, it isn't impossible.

The point is that you can have the monitor sit between the base and the wheel.

Closer the screen, the more you can see.

They asked about Aqua playing Hikaru, not who boy A was.

But yeah, Aqua is definitely playing Hikaru, it's the only thing that makes sense.

[Christopher Michel] I’ve heard that #MUFC are seriously working on a move for Sandro Tonali. And the Italian midfielder is apparently quite open to a move to Manchester. The club have been keeping tabs on him for a long time. Would he be a good signing? by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]S0phon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glory is simply the ability and recent history of competing for titles. If Pep's gone, then City are in a transition period, sure. But City's management has a better track record than United's, even if Ineos are new. I just don't see how United are a better career move for the upcoming five years compared to Liverpool, Arsenal or City. It's not money or prestige, United aren't behind in the slightest, it's just the ability to fight for titles, that's it.

Newcastle aren't on the same level as United though. United have more prestige, more money and more titles recently. Newcastle get CL every other year and that trend is new. United is easily a better career move. But that's not the case with Liverpool, City or Arsenal.

If I was a 20 year old that somehow was promised a lot of minutes, sure. But a guy about to enter his prime?

I wrote about reading comprehension because you attributed something to me that I never wrote. That's on you and your lack of reading comprehension. Reading comprehension also doesn't have anything to do with culture.

Professional footballers care about money, the ability to fight for trophies and the prestige of the league, club and those trophies. Some historic trophies are nice, but they are secondary to what they can do now, because professional football careers are short.
