A 4 minute sludge is something that I must admit that I'm out of ideas on how to protect against. The problem is that our load balancing software looks for a certain metric then automatically adds additional web servers into our system if the traffic is bad. Unfortunately this takes 60-120 seconds for the process to detect it then get the servers online during which time that breaking news happens users will get that slowdown.

We've done a lot to stop the site falling over entirely and hopefully people will just be able to cope with that small downtime.

I'd like to point out that right now we have the record number of users simultaneously online, or at least since right after the Bayern game in 2013 if memory serves, and the site hasn't gone down and we only had slowdown for a few minutes so we are certainly making progress on it.

Doing a great job mate, I thought it might have been something as simple as turning a knob up. The old site would have melted by now,

FSG is full of former hedge fund managers and stock gamblers and with their business acumen they are trying to get the max possible and more for an asset you want.

I see it as 45+5 add ons or straight 50.

Aye and the people who own and run our club have no business acumen do they!

Every database has a built in limit of connections it will take before it started to reject some. Seems we just hit ours and it started rejecting connections to it. Needs a tweak, nothing that is structural or anything. This was the first ever traffic spike since rebuilding the entire forum and infrastructure from the ground up so its very much teething problems.
 
I fail to see this blinder city are playing with these sterling and pogba deals. If we're not careful someone's going to come in and beat us to him just like isco and hazard. Yes fucking great game we're playing guys keep it up!

Yeah you said the same last night, and no one was fooled then either

And you don't seem to understand you're being asset stripped by these gamblers. None of them worked for the Lehman Brothers did they?
 
Good business by us, especially with Sterling starting to create a fuss over there. Walk away and let them come crawling back to us. Its getting really annoying with all of these clubs thinking they can ask for the sun, moon, and stars when we come in bidding. Our squad is plenty good enough to play the waiting game with anyone that wants to try this shit--things will begin moving soon enough.

Liverpool hold the cards,they know you need HG players hence the price quoted.

Yet Liverpool have spunked over £50m on transfers already this season, with no CL income this year and no transfer fees received. They also have a young player who's refused to play for the manager again, and will have a rapidly depreciating transfer value as he runs down his contract, especially if he isn't playing. But you think it's us in the weaker position.

Kind of agree mate. We seem to be full of gusto and bravado right up to the point of paying and then go limp and try and piss tge fee around.

I'm talking in regard of FSG,not a country winning the natural resources lottery.

FSG Sold 2 assets for max prices and got 125 million for 2 players,and they will do the same with sterling.

I just don't see FSG panicking and selling an asset cheaply because of some deadline,they either sell him now,if not sell him in 6 months or next summer and hope the London teams get involved and a bidding war happens.

I know I'm a flapper but, I agree. Txiki's record is worrying me, though. It's been pretty bad. Not terrible, or disastrous, but not great.

I realise this is some kind of bargaining chip, but if we're not careful our targets will be snapped up elsewhere. It's a dangerous game.

Come on Blues. Let's just pay the bloody fees and get these boring transfer sagas over and done with!

The reason they have set the fee so high, as others have said, is in the hope we might pay it and they come out looking better and stronger than us.

They started the PR war when it became clear he wasn't signing the contract earlier in the year and they are determined to win it.

I'm not too bothered personally how much we pay but if we just cave in and pay what they are asking for it could set a very dangerous precedent that could affect future transfer negotiations adversely. Khaldoon has said that the days of us having to pay a premium for players are now over.

When it comes down to it, do you really think Liverpool will turn down £40-£45m as opposed to hanging on to a disruptive influence whose value will then start going down significantly?

They may not get the chance to sell him next summer.

I'm not sure it's quite as bad as that, but to suggest we are "playing a blinder" is stupid. We haven't made a signing of note and pre season has started, despite being linked with the players for a long time.

I'm not too worried yet, but if we were playing a blinder we would have signed them by now. We haven't.

The excitement from these transfers are gone if you ask me. We've seen this too many times now just to be disappointed.
