Ragspiracy!
Now it seems Alves was getting married yesterday in Ibiza when he was supposed to be taking calls from PSG.
Transfers are boring.

Why are the entire Rosters Marrying the same summer.
On Alves:
To be fair a few of them still seem hopeful about it though. Page number grew by three by the time I had finished reading one, probably because it's about 10 posts per page.

Who have City got at RB who would be first choice ahead of Alves?
I thought Alves to PSG was done
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.
Take them to the cleaners please Levy
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.
Just a curiosity from a non-English: where does that expression come from?Take them to the cleaners please Levy
I actually thought City had sealed the signing of Alves ages ago. This is a pleasant surprise.
Honestly I had no idea, looked it up and it seems to have origins from when the professional dry-cleaning business came about
I really hope not, i don't want them targeting semedo because walker is too costly.
Just 10?
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.
can't wait to see their reaction once Alexis snubs them. Shall be fun
Any chance of Maffeo getting serious game time? He's looked decent the few times I've see him
Thanks you both!
AFAIK It is just the practice of emptying pockets before laundering.
Take to the cleaners is a more recent term for the 19th century term 'cleaned out' - being stripped clean of everything of value
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 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.
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.
"The Rags stole money out of the rags we lent them!"
Steady on mate, it's a third at best.
Even you're being generous with your estimation, surely.
They were tracking his plane at 1pm. By 2pm he was an old backstabbing cnut.
Sorry, I forgot, we're all from Stockport. All 20k of us. Emptihad. Blue seats.
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
2 years ago PSG had the highest average wage bill of any team in world football

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