The signing of Soldado should have sent a signal to Levy that all that glitters is not gold.

For him to follow up on the shit show that was Janssen with the French pair was staggering but the last fucking straw for me was Lo Celso and N'Dombele.

There's two hundred million wasted that could have brought two or three like an Allison, Mane, VanDyk, Grealish or that ilk.

It's not about how much we spent, it's who we spend it on.

Terrible decisions have been made on signings.

Now name me 5 good signings we have made?

I agree we have fucked up some up but not a single club (bar city for the most part) get it right with every single signing, and three you mentioned were all backing the manager which is another stick people use to beat Levy with when he doesn't do.

no not really but fulham is ripe we can send players too like sessegnon, lo celso etc

i dont see fulham getting 90 mill for one good season out of palhinha anyway, i see 60 and add ons doing it

bentancur isnt back till nov/dec time maybe ange needs that 6 type player

our midfield would be overkill and i dont want us doing it over the cb's anyway

I really don't want us to spend 60m plus addons for Palinha.

You are right but it’s very easy to say this with hindsight most fans were well on board with the signings you mentioned at the time.
You do realise that levy is not a football expert and doesn’t scouts which players we sign right?

City spent 250 on full backs before getting decent ones. Last season 50m on Phillips, they get plenty wrong just able to keep trying

Reddit copied twitter api change

I thought there was some pushback from developers of Twitter clients so maybe it isn't quite as ridiculous cost wise since there still seems to be a significant number of 3rs party Twitter clients.

It can't be a coincidence that Twitter starts having issues the morning after the reddit API stops being free though, can it?

Twitter api fees are more than reddit are charging. It's how reddit justified the fee. Twitter is such a shit show now it could be a coincidence, they saw an opportunity or another

From a 3rd party dev on reddit...

Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.
Hey all,
I'll cut to the chase: 50 million requests costs $12,000, a figure far more than I ever could have imagined.
Apollo made 7 billion requests last month, which would put it at about 1.7 million dollars per month, or 20 million US dollars per year. Even if I only kept subscription users, the average Apollo user uses 344 requests per day, which would cost $2.50 per month, which is over double what the subscription currently costs, so I'd be in the red every month.
I'm deeply disappointed in this price. Reddit iterated that the price would be A) reasonable and based in reality, and B) they would not operate like Twitter. Twitter's pricing was publicly ridiculed for its obscene price of $42,000 for 50 million tweets. Reddit's is still $12,000. For reference, I pay Imgur (a site similar to Reddit in user base and media) $166 for the same 50 million API calls.
fees... It's less than twitter.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern are willing to let go of Sabitzer for 15/17m....that is astonishingly cheap for a player that was playing sublime football only 1.5-2 years ago at Leipzig. 1000% worth a punt!
