@AyamEmiliano1 @NiiNiiFC Much larger indictment losing a promising academy talent to a domestic rival while your splashing million on other teenagers vs signing a promising player, them not being good enough/having better players ahead of them then them leaving for minutes abroad at a “smaller” club.

@bgprior @xiaowang1984 Pure market would say let prices rise during scarcity until enough capacity gets built; this is politically and economically unstable. Reliability must be built before scarcity happens to be useful (Winter storm Uri). ERCOT has since added reliability backstops and market reforms

@bgprior @xiaowang1984 Markets are valuable for dispatch and price discovery but structurally insufficient for long-run reliability, resilience, deliverability and system adequacy. These are governance problems. Physics of electricity makes individual rights impossible to define/not applicable.

[Jaw @_J_A_W]

@xiaowang1984 @bgprior In electricity the physical system determines what commercial txns are feasible, the opposite of normal markets in which the commercial txn largely dictates the physical movement. Financial contracts can say whatever they want but grid will only operate according to physics.

[Jaw @_J_A_W]

@xiaowang1984 @bgprior To expand on @xiaowang1984 point the public good and externality issues of electricity is but one of several reasons why electricity markets cannot function like normal markets and why they are so heavily regulated and pure market approaches are insufficient.

@cabov22 @NiiNiiFC @GoldbergCFC Dembele is a different caliber talent as he showed prior in his career to earn his big €140mn move to Barca. His “laziness” was a lack of professionalism off the pitch to maintain his body (couldnt stay healthy at Barca), never laziness on it like Leao.

@xiaowang1984 @bgprior This. The physics comes first, the market is an accounting/economic/incentive system “designed around” the physics. A lot of simplifying assumptions in early markets worked at the time but with rising complexity, markets increasingly do not map cleanly to the underlying physics.

@viecycruise @TheBluesFeed That’s why I’m calling for asymmetric wingbacks with a more capable up and down runner on the left (Robinson, Balde, Diouf) rather than the more creative types like Hall, Cambiaso,etc. I’d ideally want creativity on the right with Reece (with less track back responsibilities)

[Jaw @_J_A_W]

@viecycruise @TheBluesFeed I think Reece could be a very good RCB (like Alonso did with Hincapie on the left he could join the midfield at times) but you lose his crossing and final 3rd abilities and playing a high line and having to cover wide for wingback he’d still be exposed to a # of sprints.

@NiiNiiFC It was, not exactly certain what happened but we triggered his release clause then Palace got all upset at us, he ended up resigning (we signed Palmer) then following summer we couldn’t/didn’t want compete with Bayern (allegedly wages too high).

[Jaw @_J_A_W]

@TheTyrannosCell @_JoeAlexanderr Yeah, though a small sample he’s looked every bit the player we bought after his breakthrough season at Southampton. Caicedo is a different player with someone like Lavia behind him. I do wonder if a 1yr loan to a less physical league would help him get his legs back under him.

@IAMTPolicy Favorable thermodynamics is not enough for sCO2 to become part of the standardized thermal block for the AI buildout in US. I don’t think the door is shut though, and it’s strongest commercial case may be a 2nd wave extraction of more dependable MW from a valuable node/site.

[Jaw @_J_A_W]

@IAMTPolicy I agree that sCO2 should have stronger industrial policy support but I think this underappreciates what actually drives total project economics. Utilities and project finance lenders are incentivized to like boring due to the asymmetrical risks of failure.

@JFTHQ @FabrizioRomano That’s exactly my point. Being an elite player isn’t simply about footballing ability, a massive part is the mental aspect. A large transfer fee is only one source of pressure players have to face. A PL task force doesn’t solve weak mentality and it’ll show up regardless of fee.

[Jaw @_J_A_W]

@callmeoscar_1 I think he’s ideal CB signing. Good age, prem proven, experience in back 3 as CCB and RCB, good physicality, good enough on the ball and elite recovery pace which is critical for high line/broken press and to help Reece James survive as RWB (ask him to be less aggressive).

[Jaw @_J_A_W]

@callmeoscar_1 Yes gladly. Would pay them even more if they’d pay an equal amount over market rate for Chalobah (would help the accounting profit)

[Jaw @_J_A_W]

@TheTyrannosCell @_JoeAlexanderr Couldn’t agree more. He’s been basically useless in a Chelsea kit but at Southampton flashed high potential. He’s still young and his value is in the dirt. I wouldn’t trust him to stay healthy but I certainly wouldn’t sell now. If anything loan him out for fresh start.

[Jaw @_J_A_W]

@JFTHQ @FabrizioRomano Clubs can assign what they want (unless player negotiates specific clauses in contract), another team has to be willing to pay it. Great players perform under pressure, if they can’t then they were not as great a player as buying team believed.
