  1. Bent's replacement would suggest a loan anyway
  2. Galatasaray got Podolski from Arsenal for 1.3m... I'd have had some of that at that price!
  3. Probably something to do with their quarter billion quid annual revenue
  4. 3 of them are bit part players at English clubs, and the other is starring for Barcelona. Which one moved on from Liverpool?
  5. If we were interested in him, I'd not be too upset about getting him for anything below 18m to be honest. Proven strike record, and has managed with each step up he's made. League One: Played 54 Scored 31 Championship: Played 113 Scored 58 Premier League: Played 35 Scored 18 If he had "inho" at the end of his name people would be creaming themselves at the thought of signing him. Absolutely, 100% good enough for us, both in our current state and where we're likely to be in the best case scenario in 4 years
  6. He's more likely to end up at a Barca going via Liverpool than he is staying at Villa. It's unlikely he'll ever get a move to an elite club direct from us, he needs to go to a "brand name" first
  7. He's more likely to get a move there via Liverpool than direct from us, though. Too many people looking at any move to Liverpool with a strange finality. Benteke, should he go there, isn't going there to play out his career. He's going there for a year, maybe 2, in the hope of ending up at an elite club. He and his agent will view them as every bit as much a stepping stone in his career as we are. We're the shop window down the dingy side street, they're the shop window on the glitzy main street - but they're both shop windows
  8. Saw this bumped and my first reaction was "oh crap, he's injured isn't he?"
  9. Whatever you call it, we've not done business that way for a long time
  10. Or because peace is doing this takeover in the media and we're not
  11. How many times per transfer window do you type out something like this? Ah he's gotta write it somewhere - no copy book to scrawl it down the back of in summer
  12. As your roving on the spot reporter I managed to pap it. You're welcome Too many fingers
  13. A new owner comes with the hope of fixing things to make us properly run and competitive again, but if Lerner can do that I'm not too pushed if he remains the owner. All we want is the issues we have fixed, who cares who fixes them?
  14. We clearly found a bag of money stashed away behind a sofa somewhere during due dilligence
  15. I'm just out east of Toronto in a place called Oshawa, but we're likely moving to Pickering/Ajax/Rouge Hill in the new year now that the wife is finally graduated and working
  16. Only one person I've seen confused so far
  17. Yeah, not understanding the "con" statement at all there, however you were definitely wrong in pre-ordering. Pre-order culture is hugely problematic in the gaming industry and people need to stop
  18. 50/50 means that there's as much a chance of one thing as the other. The word you're looking for is "binary" in that it'll be either one option or the other, with no specification regarding the likelihood of either.
  19. You don't become the former by doing the latter
  20. That's UEFA FFP, which doesn't affect us
  21. Feels a bit random not to have something to it I think

    Xbox One

    It's not that I don't believe you, but where do those stats come from? NPD typically *edit* To give you an idea of the lack of willingness for Japanese gamers to adopt Microsoft systems, Xbox 360 lifetime sales are still below 1.5m there, and many retailers dropped it around 2010/11

    Xbox One

    Do you have a source for this? It sounds unlikely. Sounds about right to be honest, the Japanese simply don't buy MS consoles *edit* To show you how bad it is, the Xbox One launched in Japan in September, and didn't reach 50,000 unit sales until April of this year. It has sold more than a thousand units in a week on less than 10 occasions, and usually manages <600
