Transfer News Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Grumpy Git]

I can’t see Murphy going anywhere. We’ve only got Browne Goodrham and Mills as wide options. Brownes always due to be out a month or two of the season with an injury. I know we are bringing Burey in. But he might be coming as a striker if we don’t sign Marriott

Yeah, I hope he turns it round here, because unless he plays the majority of the season I think he’ll be screwed. He’s got bags of skill and when he’s up for it, he’s brilliant, but we’ve not seen it enough. Frankly other teams aren’t going to bother with him unless he is doing it week in week out. The way Manning looks to be setting up and playing might suit his skills and game.

And it wasn’t built in a day either, apparently!

What we now know as Rome was effectively begun by Augustus Caesar around 20BC at the start of the Roman Empire. Amphitheaters, baths, bridges and aqueducts first appeared around this time.
On Yellow Forum every day’s a school day.

old Nero liked his fiddling...didnt he fiddle with his mother and sisters as well as other worldly animals?

In order to present a balanced approach to progress , it could be helpful to list what could be built in a day, my thoughts are gardenshed and IKEA furniture

Nero's only famous because a chain of coffee bars was named after him. The site of Rome was occupied since the Bronze Age, ~1,500 years BC, and became a political entity about 650 BC, the Roman Republic. The flashy buildings were, as @TailsWeWin says, later.

I once built a garden shed in a day, it was bigger than this and had both a door and a window.

First Roman amphitheatre - Pompeii, c.70Bc
First Roman aqueduct - Aqua Appia c.310BC
First Roman Baths c.300BC (and about 150 of them before Augustus’ accession).

As you say, every day’s a school day.

I believe that was mostly attributed to Caligula.

Nero had his mother executed.

 

[Malc]

All very interesting but when was the first pizza made?

Nero had his mother executed.

"Nero murdered his mother, and Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Nero also slept with his mother, Nero married and executed one stepsister, executed his other stepsister, raped and murdered his stepbrother. In fact, he executed or murdered most of his close relatives. He kicked his pregnant wife to death. He castrated and then married a freedman. He married another freedman, this time himself playing the bride. He raped a vestal virgin. He melted down the household gods of Rome for their cash value."

oh i love the history books lol

That would be a second home to some.

Well they discovered images of pizza-style food on walls in Pompeii...

Pompeii archaeologists discover 'pizza' painting

Experts say the flatbread depicted in the 2,000 year-old fresco may be a precursor to the Italian dish.

How do you work out how many goals a player hasn’t scored at his previous clubs?!

The pedantry is strong with this one, young paduan

Bet it didn’t have pineapple on it..

Probably not, pineapple would have improved it immeasurably though, as it does for any pizza, or gammon steak.

In South Africa, pineapple goes on burgers.

Yeah I could probably do that once in a while, if I'm not adding cheese, bacon, and a fried egg.
