I live in Berlin, the longest stretch I have been in NYC for was about 6 months. Why?

Who the gently caress would rather live in NY than southern France

People who like to be in a fast paced cultural hub with a vibrant array of people, things to see, places to eat, etc.

I personally like to be in a rural area close to a nice big vibrant city but far enough out that I can enjoy nature easily.

Because I know a lot of people who live in NYC, and if you ask them "Do you expect to stay in NYC?" the answer is a universal, resounding "gently caress no."

Gonna end my end of the derail here but those people are probably the ones who are in normal, average salary jobs and realize paying 2k a month for a studio isn't worth all the benefits a place like NYC has to offer. It's all what you want out of life after all, some people like the hustle bustle and people watching more than staring at fields and hills.

Then why don't they gently caress off?

On the other hand, all my friends who live in NYC couldn't envisage themselves living anywhere else. Sounds like you're just hanging with the boring bougie crowd op.

The other good thing about NYC is that it deters computer touchers, in my opinion.

(as opposed to San Francisco, for instance)

I also read that they have a week to change their minds and will do so if the president resigns, but that doesn't seem likely. Rui Patricio had the same clause but went through with it.

That is looking like it really could happen. Napoli broke off talks with him, because they wouldn't match the wages that Arsenal are offering.

Read the Portuguese league thread. The club melted down in the hardest way possible and it ended in the ultras attacking the players at the training ground.

According to Di Marzio, Arsenal are in pretty advanced talks for this Torreira dude, and will apparently pay more than his release clause in order to spread out the payments for him.

Don't be silly. We all know the way to take a step up is to get your friends in the media to complain that you haven't been given a chance ad nauseam until you're given a job you're not capable of doing.

Is there a rule on the maximum number of times a player can be transferred in a window or year? Or can you just buy em and flip em like pancakes if you want

I think you can only play matches for two teams per year (can't remember if it's season or calendar year though) but that wouldn't stop a player from being transferred like ten times in one window while no matches are being played.

Presumably the thing that stops it is that eventually the player would say no and refuse to sign a contract with the next club.

quote:

Players may be registered for a maximum of three clubs during the period from 1 July until 30 June of the following year. During this period, the player is only eligible to play in Official Matches for two clubs.

edit: it was ammended:

quote:

As an exception to this rule, a player moving between two clubs belonging to associations with overlapping seasons (i.e. start of the season in summer/autumn as opposed to winter/spring) may be eligible to play in official matches for a third club during the relevant season, provided he has fully complied with his contractual obligations towards his previous clubs. Equally, the provisions relating to the registration periods (article 6) as well as to the minimum length of a contract (article 18 paragraph 2) must be respected.
