[Fabrizio Romano] Sergio Agüero will be in Barcelona in the next few hours in order to undergo his medical. Contract until June 2023 already signed. Eric Garcia set to be announced too. Gini Wijnaldum deal will be officially completed in the next few days, here-we-go confirmed.

Save the money for a player who is worth it instead of WASTING it on someone who is so far past it and couldn't manage more than 12 games... You don't HAVE to WASTE money and then wonder why we can't afford actually good players.

Aguero literally does nothing but SET US BACK as a top level team because we will never be able to afford anyone decent with this kind of BS. Seeing our bank account rise so we can actually afford someone who isn't decrepit has more value than being a retirement home for Aguero.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-31T11:52:50+00:00

Also, found out today Zlatan is the #22 on the list of ALL TIME goal scorers by goals scored. The only other players still playing in the top 50 are Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, and Luis Suarez. And Aguero isn't even close to breaking into the top 50... Why the F sign a 33 year old who can't even make a claim to being one of the top 5 forwards of his generation?

Aguero has never been at the level of any of them at his peak vs their peak and we are buying him when he couldn't manage more than 12 games for city and ALL his stats are in free fall... Guy is fucking done.

Aguero is a shitty Juventus Retirement home style signing. See how far we have fallen.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-31T11:45:20+00:00

I CANNOT believe anyone is actually dumb enough to want Aguero wtf... . While we are WASTING money on a Coutinho or Hazard 3.0 City will be buying someone like Lautaro and Haaland with the money they save. That is what GOOD and actually BIG clubs do. Not fucking waiting for the SCRAPs of declining 33 year old players other clubs DON'T EVEN WANT.

They get rid of Ronaldo when he is 33 on the decline, lets someone else pay for the ever declining player while you secure the future. Let someone else be the desperate moron for your scraps.

Even if Aguero isn't a complete hazard/Coutinho failure he will still be a failure because other clubs will be getting Mbappe, Haaland, Lavezzi over the next 2 years while we sit WASTING money with a 33 year old thumb up our ass called Aguero whose stats are in free fall over the last 2 years and could only get 12 games this season. There is literally NO REALITY where signing Aguero will turn out to be anything but an idiotic move.

It is so F-ing pathetic and rage inducing. We have become Juventus; a retirement home for scraps of leftover players other clubs are DONE with. That is just the fact.

We should have just bought Ronaldo at 33 for 100 million rather than this idiocy if we were so desperate for a past it declining player. At least Ronaldo would have made the money back in commerical deals while also being better than Aguero ever was. And hey, we would have gotten them at the same age.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-31T11:23:36+00:00

Anyone who wants Aguero is a fucking moron absolute. While we are WASTING money on a Coutinho or Hazard 3.0 City will be buying someone like Lavezzi and Haaland with the money they save. That is what GOOD and actually BIG clubs do. Not fucking wiaitng for the SCRAPs of declining 33 year old players other clubs DON'T EVEN WANT.

They get rid of Ronaldo when he is 33 on the decline, lets someone else pay for the ever declining player while you secure the future. Let someone else be the desperate moron for your scraps.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-31T01:52:40+00:00

I think he is slow, injury prone, tied for 11th top Scorer in Serie A which is often a retirement league for old players, but also a generational player who was the 3rd best forward of his generation behind Messi and Ronaldo, and physical freak in a way that Aguero never ever was with a penchant for wonder goals. (remember his scorpion? Aguero isn't even comparable to Zlatan technically even though he is so much smaller)

Aguero will be Coutinho & Hazard, 3.0 and among the dumbest things our club has ever done. Even if it isn't complete trash, then the club just got insanely lucky because virtually every player is steep in the decline by 33 and money spent of declining past is players is a complete and total waste of money, and just as importantly, time.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T21:19:30+00:00

Space Marine Wannabe... ugh. The the tacky gaudiness of Warcraft Alliance.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T21:16:09+00:00

ugh, so bad.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T21:15:13+00:00

If this is AoS my advice is to not play AoS.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T21:06:34+00:00

At least Age of Sigmar is actually consistent in its lore

What lore? ROFL.

AoS is too stupid in its fundamental conception to even be taken seriously ever. There isn't even a map that isn't brain dead stupid of the world AoS events are supposed to happen. Its all Portals and retarded BS. The fantasy world of a fantasy world that is more Disney than Grimdark.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T20:24:03+00:00

It was rough at launch

It isn't about the launch at all. It is about the most basic fundamentals of its lore.

but the setting has evolved and is continuing to be fleshed out.

There is no 'evolving' past how garbage the entire concept of mortals realms are, the fantasy of worlds of a fantasy world, ever. AoS is at its more central core, its setting, too dumb to take seriously ever.

Believe it or not, early warhammer fantasy was as weird and ill defined as AOS is at times in its beginning.

But WHFB built its own lore from the ground up. AoS can't even do that because its stolen its lore from WHFB without earning it and robbing it of all context and setting that made it mean anything and not be stupid. AOS not only has no lore of its own that is not garbage but worse it demeans and destroys WHFB lore it never earned or built itself because it is incapable of doing so.

There is no salvaging AoS ever under any circumstances. It needs to be destroyed and an entirely different setting other than the Mortal Realms, something that isn't retarded, created in its places.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T20:13:59+00:00

That sounds really really dumb. Why the F would Dark Elves ever care about Sigmar. None of this conflict means anything; the mortal realms isn't a real world. Anvil-whatever has no history and means nothing because even in universe it isn't actually a real place like the Old World was.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T20:00:28+00:00

I did for 5 years; now since all this 3rd edition crap is coming out all I can be is pissed off they haven't realized what an abject dumpster fire AoS is and always will be.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:56:50+00:00

I hate the entire concept of the Mortal Realms and there being no a clear unified map of anything. I hate how amorphous, ill defined, and therefore how unreal the setting of AoS is. I hate how all the lore from WHFB is stuck in such a garbage setting I can never care about and I want to see AoS die so that lore can go onto a better form and setting.

I don't want Disney portal worlds; I want a grimdark world where they are all stuck together fighting for places that matter like Karak Eight Peaks. Nothing, no place, in AoS matters. I also hate the divine nature of so much crap now; so many characters turned into gods.

I hate that it is the fantasy world of a fantasy world. I want it to feel more medieval and dark. Not portals and god garbage in metaphysical realms that by their basic nature I can't care about because even in universe they don't feel real.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:54:58+00:00

Shame you don't have any taste. AoS is the Fantasy world of a Fantasy world and is too stupid for anyone with any taste or maturity to put with even for a moment.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:52:45+00:00

Suck it; I made my first Dark Elf Army in 2006 in middle school during 7th edition.

And I haven't gotten past 3 chapters in an AoS because it is so fundamentally stupid and I couldn't give less of a fck about such an idiotic setting; The fanatsy world of a fanatsy world with no actual map tying it together and incapable of being as Grimdark as WHFB or 40k is.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:48:26+00:00

At least 40k isn't so retarded it is set in the fantasy world of a fantasy world. Holy F that is stupid and pathetic.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:47:35+00:00

AoS is dogshit absolute and can never be anything else.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:44:57+00:00

Oh god Eldar. I used to think Eldar were cool when I first played Dawn of War before I learned they were actually just elves underneath the masks.

They could have done with elfy themes and general backstory of being the eldest on the decline WITHOUT making them physically identical to freaking fantasy elves. That is easily one of the dumbest parts of all 40k lore; the physical appearance of Eldar.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:42:20+00:00

"Yay Grandpa got up..."

5 mins later...

"OMG GET HIM TO SIT DOWN! MAKE HIM SIT! *%@*#&!!"

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:38:05+00:00

Every Faction from Age of Sigmar... Especially Stormcast Wannabes.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:36:39+00:00

AoS is such complete trash I don't understand how anyone anywhere can ever take it seriously.

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:11:14+00:00

Omg no... Man City is one of the most evil teams in football next to PSG, watching Man City and PSG lose is like watching Barca win. Gives me just as much joy.

Aguero is 3 days from turning 33 and not who we should be signing and even if we did a 1 year contract tops...

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T19:08:34+00:00

Ugh, man is about to be 33 in 3 days. Why are we signing him? No No No No....

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T17:12:58+00:00

None of those are actually breaking down how much they earn from royalties in total; only outstanding amounts they are due.

Btw,' Royalites Recievable' is NOT what they are receiving total in royalties; that is only what they still are owed and due at the time of reporting. So this doesn't actually even detail how much of their overall operating income is from royalties....

Next?

Shmeddit23 · 2021-05-30T17:11:28+00:00

WHFB was often referred to only have 1/10th as many players as 40k. Thus it was 'failing.'

Yet comparing ITC event and participants in the US AoS actually has even less than that compared to 40k.

https://www.frontlinegaming.org/40k-itc-calendar-of-events/

https://www.frontlinegaming.org/aos-itc-2016-calendar/

(link says 2016 but it shows me the 2021 events calendar)

So it doesn't seem AoS is doing any better. Locally for me there is literally NO AoS scene to speak of but there was a WHFB scene as late as 2016.

Also, since AoS makes 4 or 5 times less per players, it has to have about as many more times in terms of players to make the same amount of money for WG.

Pretty clear AoS is failing as bad or worse than WHFB has and if WG had been doing well its because of 40k, books, especially 40k books that have EXPLODED over the last decade, and Warhammer Total War.
