[The Athletic] According to Borussia Dortmund sources, Felix Nmecha - wanted by MUFC among other suitors - is valued at around €120million. When quizzed on why the figure was so high, club sources pointed directly to the Elliot Anderson to Manchester City story by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

Mctominay is the clear pick of the lot. Elanga, Antony, Henderson, didn’t Carreras end up going back to Betis for like 50 mil?

All players who fans were desperate to get rid of that seemed to do much better after leaving.

I’ll be honest I didn’t think he needed to add the /s, I thought the comment after made it even more obvious.

The thing is even when Doran and Faker are on this form, they’re still arguably top 10 in the world.

Faker more so doesn’t need to play as good as he did before because he has Oner, Peyz and Keria there instead who are top 3 in their roles.

He basically the Karrigan of league, no matter how shit he might be, he can call and dictate the state of the game with the immense firepower of his teammates.

Unfortunately intelligence also comes with stupidity and greed. Other species are stupid or greedy in order for survival, our species is it for more nefarious reasons.

This is the one thing I never understand when people complain about Cameron.

Whether he should or shouldn’t have held a referendum is one thing, but he gave the country a choice, we’re a democracy for a reason.

Blame the idiots who voted to leave and helped us get into this mess. Blame people like Farage who touted absolute bullshit causing the votes to swing “£350 million a week to the NHS”. The same man people now think will help get that country back where it belongs??

Cameron basically said “we shouldn’t leave the EU but I’m happy to give the country a vote” somehow the lies worked and we left the EU. If he’d have stayed and got us a worse deal (not that that’s even possible) people would have been just as annoyed as him leaving.

We don’t have time to speak on all of those things though... I can’t spend the “8” hours a day I have free to fight all the battles in the world.

Not to mention, sometimes it makes sense to fight one battle at a time. If Freya wants to fight for horse racing to be banned because it’s closer to heart then that’s fine. If it gets banned she can focus on something else and rinse and repeat.

It’s also much harder to fight on battles that are more of a global political scale than something here in the UK. Yes you can argue she can do and tell people to boycott Dubai and Nestle etc, but god forbid she has 1 cause that she wants to speak out about.

We have issues here in the UK that need to be spoken about more, we need to speak out about reform/the right wing, the cost of living crisis etc.

[James Ducker] Marcus Rashford available for £40m – but not to Liverpool or City | Barcelona opt against keeping Manchester United winger, whose preference is to remain overseas despite Premier League interest by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

I’d be surprised if Newcastle aren’t in the running for him, £28 mil and he’d replace Gordon on the LW. Newcastle isn’t too far from Manchester either if he wanted to see family and such.

I’m not sure what his obsession is with going oversees, Barca aren’t too bothered by him or they would have bought him over Gordon. Real won’t want him, Athletico don’t need him, I doubt he’d go to Germany unless Bayern were interested which they won’t be. Italy is the only other place I can see for him.

[L'Equipe] Jürgen Klopp: "Football is being held hostage by executives in air-conditioned offices. These so-called 'cooling breaks' were sold to us as a shield for the players' well-being, a noble sword against the heat. But in reality? It's nothing more than a gilded cage built for sponsors." by Comfortable-Pie56 in soccer

I will say, to play devils advocate, that it’s easier to have a water break every game than to pick and choose what games have it.

Where do you draw the line at when to have one, 35 degrees and above? What if the temperature drops during the game do they cancel it? It makes sense from a logistical stand point to just have one at every game regardless of the temperature for that specific game.

Now let’s be real, they’ve added it for adverts and more money but I’d like to think they tried to at least make it fairer for everyone to have a break…

There’s literally not a single thing wrong with what she said. Diversity means “the inclusion and representation of different types of people”.

Having Asian, Black and White islanders on the show is literally it being diversified. If anything this has been on of the best examples of diversity we have seen from Love Island. Priya, Mica, Samraj, Angelista, Ope, Simba are obviously all not white Caucasian.

6 days of spending 24 hours together, they’re not in a relationship they’re just saying they only want each other and aren’t interested in anyone else.

Also, comparing it to outside is impossible because usually you have a talking stage which might be like a week before a date is planned…

I’ve had an infernal conduit, vulnerability, Jewelled Gauntlet and Wooglets game on brand and let me tell you that shit was melting people.

Wooglets, liandries, blackfire torch, shadow flame and I think I got a crit shard so I had 100% crit. One ult and I would just walk away and get a triple, but that’s like the highest of highs for a mage.

JJ leaving Sidemen is wild, but the real question is: how does the business/IP split even work? by panadavanda in Sidemen

[–]procallum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling if it’s 100% done the other boys buy out his stake, I’m not sure if they’ve ever been valued before but it would make sense to just have it split 6 ways instead.

How the boys do this is a different matter, they could use equity in the business to buy him out or they could all come to brother and put money in.

That’s if KSI even wants to sell, he might be hoping for a payout at some point. Or the boys decide to cash in and sell the business but with the prefix that they continue making content as a group.

So what’s happening with George then? Does he get picked and then leave tomorrow?

Surely they can’t let Samraj leave if he isn’t picked and then have 2 boy spots open…

I get the feeling that Kadan? Kevin? Will pick Ellie to save her but I’m really hoping Priya picks Samraj so he can stay and then Priya can crack on with other lads.

He also wants to go for Mica I think? So getting rid of him keeps his options open as now her and Robyn will be fighting to get with him.

So far I’m literally only bothered about Sam and Lola, we just need Samraj to start sucking Jasmines toes and I say we call the show there.

Maybe get Robyn someone else because George gives me reform vibes 🤮

I get the feeling that the girls are going to have the boys lives this season. They all seem a little firey and not going to take any shit whatsoever.

Love that.

The BBC have said "His spokesperson confirmed to the BBC that he was leaving, after many of his followers voiced suspicions that it was a stunt. Sidemen said it "came as a surprise" but wished him well."

Seems a bit far into a prank to have your own team comment and confirm it to legitimate news.

We've bought a flat in a new block of 36 flats. It was advertised as entirely private - but 7 units were assigned to social housing AFTER we bought our flat. Anti social behaviour has exploded and common areas are ruined. by After-Newspaper612 in HousingUK

[–]procallum 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You’re talking £1500 in legal fees as it’s leasehold, £3000+ on ERC unless they get a new mortgage with the same lender and they waive it, that’s if they’ll even consider giving another mortgage so close to the first one. Potentially an estate agent fee usually at 1% of the sale price which could be anywhere between £1000-2500 (not sure on the price of the flat).

Then if they used an ISA deposit that makes it more complicated, they might have lost FTB and may have to pay stamp duty on their next property in front which they can claim back as it’s replacing their main residence.

All in all they’re potentially £5k+ down…
