Raggy Alves.
Ragspiracy!Pep Sodding Guardiola.
Why are the entire Rosters Marrying the same summer.Now it seems Alves was getting married yesterday when he was supposed to be taking calls from Ibiza.
Transfers are boring.

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.Bluemoon said:Thus will be down to playing time.
At PSG he will be first choice, at City he won't.
Take them to the cleaners please LevyOn hearing the news about Alves, somewhere in North London Daniel Levy adds another £10 million to Walker's price.
Just a curiosity from a non-English: where does that expression come from?Take them to the cleaners please Levy
Honestly I had no idea, looked it up and it seems to have origins from when the professional dry-cleaning business came aboutJust a curiosity from a non-English: where does that expression come from?
I really hope not, i don't want them targeting semedo because walker is too costly.On hearing the news about Alves, somewhere in North London Daniel Levy adds another £10 million to Walker's price.

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.Honestly I had no idea, looked it up and it seems to have origins from when the professional dry-cleaning business came about
Any chance of Maffeo getting serious game time? He's looked decent the few times I've see himI also have no idea but I do use the phrase.

I don't think Walker is worth the effort.

Thanks you both!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.

AFAIK It is just the practice of emptying pockets before laundering.Thanks you both!
Take to the cleaners is a more recent term for the 19th century term 'cleaned out' - being stripped clean of everything of valueJust a curiosity from a non-English: where does that expression come from?
Despite the certainty you convey, the two things are different.Take to the cleaners is a more recent term for the 19th century term 'cleaned out' - being stripped clean of everything of value
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.Any chance of Maffeo getting serious game time? He's looked decent the few times I've see him
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 correctedDespite 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 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'.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
I'm not certain either. I just think what you put was two different conditions/idioms. No emotions involved.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.

"The Rags stole money out of the rags we lent them!"AFAIK It is just the practice of emptying pockets before laundering.
Steady on mate, it's a third at best.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'.
Even you're being generous with your estimation, surely.Steady on mate, it's a third at best.
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.Steady on mate, it's a third at best.
2 years ago PSG had the highest average wage bill of any team in world footballthat 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.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
