Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Has anyone gone over there lately? Even by BlueMoon standards it really is mind-boggling at the moment

They are well and truly, 100% fixated on us. We seem to occupy their every waking (and probably unwaking) thought.

They also seem really confused about why few people have a major problem with us spending £100m on a player but do have a problem with the footballing nobodies who won the lottery doing it - I am referring here to their constant bleating about how we have been accused of "ruining football/inflating transfer fees....blah blah blah" with the Lukaku deal
 
On hearing the news about Alves, somewhere in North London Daniel Levy adds another £10 million to Walker's price.
 
They're pathetic, they seem to think we've been snubbed by players when the ones we've had offers accepted for have come to us.

I really hope not, i don't want them targeting semedo because walker is too costly.

Honestly I had no idea, looked it up and it seems to have origins from when the professional dry-cleaning business came about

I also have no idea but I do use the phrase. I reckon it was from medieval times and it involved peasants being stripped of all their clothing before being hosed down. So 'taken to the cleaners' involves a loss of all your possessions in order to achieve cleanliness.

I don't think Walker is worth the effort.

Any chance of Maffeo getting serious game time? He's looked decent the few times I've see him

I agree and I really hope so. However, the rumours are another loan to Girona. Perhaps the Alves situation might change matters, I don't see what City have to lose but we shall see.

Despite the certainty you convey, the two things are different.
Cleaned out is to be stripped of assets.
Taken to the cleaners is to be taken advantage of.

I don't want to take this thread off topic but would just say that it wasn't to come across as this is it and I am right, more a case of I believe that it is an evolution of the phrase cleaned out. However if this is wrong then I stand corrected

I guess that is what 125 years of local rivalry does for your Manchester fan-base. Lingard seems to understand, never mind Manchester solidarity in the face of terrorism lets tell half the city to 'go home'.

I'm not certain either. I just think what you put was two different conditions/idioms. No emotions involved.
Sorry if I came across that way.

Steady on mate, it's a third at best.
 
What happened to the Pep pull factor? A bit embarrassing when 1 of your former protege's tell you to do 1.

On BM they are putting a ''we refused to meet his wage demands'' spin on it, yeah right. The biggest payers in world football refused to stump up an extra few grand to secure a player they desperately wanted.
 
that wage talk is bullshit anyway. as i said in another thread psg’s current squad average wage is €131k. they only have 2 players around 200k afaik. and we are also talking about euros here

That has to be after tax. Can't believe nobody gets 200k and still people like Di Maria wants to join them for money.

It's hard to believe Cavani and Di Maria aren't above 200k.
 
Do we not have a different Bliemoon thread every season as we do for rawk?
I find them almost as entertianing as rawk.

Is it because they're so few, that we wouldn't get enough pages in just one season?

Did Di Maria join them for the money though or because he simply wanted to go to PSG with little interest in being at United

Di Maria never wanted to leave Madrid, went to United because we were the best on offer, then decided he didn't want to stay in Manchester and Paris was the best alternative.
 
Hang on a minute?

I thought the Pep project was going to attract every player who has ever kicked a ball?

And last year City was the 3rd best paid team (after United and Barca) according to same source?

sounds fair enough, just my point was that PSG pay enormous wages like most top clubs

His new wife is a model based in Paris, of course she probably had a massive say. I think he'll probably earn more there too, I wouldn't class it as a massive snub on pep like people here are doing, yeah it's disappointing but no team gets every player they want. Hopefully in the long run it could be good and we don't loan Maffeo out but I doubt that'll happen
