Another month and then the transfer list ends. Then you could still make transfers in January. I wonder what Messi will do. Maybe to his friend in Paris after all?
what if he do so, then he should not be allowed to play in the CL for PSG?
this was an old rule, starting from 2019 it is possible to play in the European cups players who have already played in other teams, purchased in the January market (I don't remember, however, if there is still the limit of 3 players per team). But I really believe that Messi will end the season with Barcelona, it would not make sense to leave earlier, it would also be a lack of respect for the fans |

The last news I heard was that Dovi was on leave after the GP 2020 . But the rumor is that Dovi is still in contact with Honda. Dovi is rumored to be Marquez's replacement racer for the start of the season. Even Honda intends to lobby Dorna to increase the number of riders. They want three riders in one team. But until now I haven't heard any official news from Honda.
Furthermore, for next year's GP winner I think there are many riders who still have a chance, Marquez will have a hard time to win.
If Marc Marquez is fully back in shape for the start of the championship, I don't think he can have any opponents to fight for the world title. Marquez has always been the best of all, but now everything depends on his physical recovery and today he is not in good shape. Dorna today issued an official statement, saying that the idea of the three bikes cannot be accepted and it also seems right to me |

I would say I agree with Milan beating easily, not the past. This milan is not hte milan that we have seen in the past few years, they have been playing amazingly and while Juventus is busy losing points constantly, Milan has been taking the point difference higher and higher. Inter and Milan waited for so many years for this chance, I do not think they will throw it away thanks to some smaller level teams, they are going to beat all the teams that are benevento and lower level, maybe a few small mishaps but otherwise they will do their best.
Milan literally has zero loss so far, how better could that get? So, I think you can wager on Milan easily, even put a decent amount of your bankroll as well (do not risk money you can't afford to lose) because it looks like that would be a sure fire game if I have ever seen any.
I remember the two challenges with Benevento, especially that 2-2 made in injury time with a goal by the goalkeeper and the defeat at home (I was at the stadium to see it). It's true, it's not the same as Milan, but now the easy games are over, so many times this year I have focused on Juventus or Napoli at 1.3 and they lost or tied. Of course, Milan's share is very inviting, 1.58 |

There is also the renewal of Donnarumma's contract, which is expiring, and I don't think it's a simple thing
AFAIK, Donnarumma contract will almost certainly be renewed. Moreover, in the previous contract clause, if AC Milan made it to the Champions League, Milan had the right to extend his contract. I think with Milan's position at the moment, it's just waiting a little while for both of them to reach an agreement. As I remember, the first bid made by Milan with offer salary about 6 million euro/y, with a contract duration about 4 years. Donnarumma's problem is his agent, Raiola, who is Italian knows him well, his only purpose is to sell players to earn the commission, even if Milan have the favorable clause, Raiola knows how to create problems. It was he last time who convinced him not to renew, with all the quarrels with the fans who called him a mercenary, throwing fake money behind the door. I know Donnarumma well, even his family, he is a boy of his word and knows that he can do very well at Milan and that even if things don't go well, he still has many years of career |

Are we even sure Marc Marquez will start next year?
Told you back months ago, he was too greedy to run after 3 days from his fracture.
I had an ear 2 weeks ago we will need surgery again, the man he's risked or maybe he is still risking his carrer.
unfortunately he is not absolutely sure that Marc Marquez will be at the start of the next Motogp championship, two days ago he wrote a tweet of good wishes to his followers and he had the carbon brace on his arm again, a sign unfortunately that he has not improved at all. I still don't understand how they could make him run a few days after the fracture, ruining his career |

Honestly I don't think free agents have their sights set in AC Milan as one of their options on transferring into a team since they can't really offer anything else outside of money and most game change free agents out there will want a competitive team to sign in. There strategy right now on focusing on youth especially in there own youth academy is good since definitely they have develop a few hidden gems that has successfully transferred into the main team. Aside from that they have signed more youngsters in the past few seasons trying to gamble if they can catch a good find which they absolutely did with Leao and Hernandez.
Milan must absolutely take advantage of this favorable situation, to be at the top of the championship and try to catch some excellent players to finish the championship in a good position and reach the Champions League next year. focusing only on young players can be good for the future, but given how things are going in this league, he needs players with experience. There is also the renewal of Donnarumma's contract, which is expiring, and I don't think it's a simple thing |

I am really excited about the next season and I believe that the competition between the teams will be bigger than this season. I think that the number one team will be Mercedes again. But in my opinion, Red Bull will be closer to them with Verstappen and Perez. Vettel made a great move by going to Aston Martin. I think that he will be closer to his old days there. Ferrari look like they will continue having performance problems next season too. But I believe that there will be a huge competition between Leclerc and Sainz. Ricciardo made wonderful things at Renault and I believe that he can do better at McLaren.
I hope the 2021 season is different from 2020 and it seems that all options are there. Red Bull, which finally has two competitive drivers to put pressure on Hamilton, Fernando Alonso's return to Formula 1, I just hope that Vettel, changing team, will again have the will to win, because if Aston Martin manages to give him a competitive car like this year, it could win races. In my opinion it will be really fun, we will not always have the usual podium, with two Mercedes and Verstappe |

It is true that AC Milan's finances are not as big as Juventus or Inter Milan, so AC Milan has to find good players at low prices. The best solution is
to bring in players who have run out of contracts, so they can get free players. But also be careful when recruiting free players, not all free players
are eligible to sign.
Papu Gomez is very suitable to play for AC Milan but unfortunately the price is too expensive and also Papu Gomez is more interested in joining
Juventus. If in the end it fails to bring in new players, no problem. Because I see with the current player, Stefano Pioli is able to make AC Milan
become a strong team and difficult to beat. I am optimistic that AC Milan can win the Serie A trophies this season.
However, Gomez should think about one thing, he would not play all the games at Juventus, they already have a perfect squad full of champions. See as an example Chiesa, he only wanted to go to Juventus, but plays a few minutes. At Milan, on the other hand, Gomez would always play the starter, true he probably wouldn't win the same trophies, but in my opinion winning a championship or a cup remains 90% of the time on the bench, it's like not winning it. |

I guess building supercomputers is less expensive than using a wind tunnel and building more carbon fiber parts. Carbon (CFRP) isn't that expensive though, it's a mature technology, I don't really get it.
the problem is that with the new regulations, to save costs, the hours in the wind tunnel are very limited, making it impossible for those who have to recover to make the machine more efficient. In total it will be 400 hours in the tunnel, but only 80 hours will be with the wind flow activated. The top 5 ranked teams will have a 2.5% reduction in hours for each position. |

I haven't read whether Calhanoglu agrees to a new contract.
Yes, It's not meet a agreement atm, as I say both Milan and Hakan still in negotiation. From the latest news, I have read, there a chance for Milan to kept Hakan.
In other news, AC Milan maybe buy 3 players in January, 1 Defender, with option: Mohamed Simakan (Strasbourg), Ozan Kabak (Schalke 04), or Jerome Boateng (Bayern Munchen) 1 Midfielder with option: Boubakary Soumare (Lille), Luis Alberto (Lazio), or Papu Gomez (Atalanta) 1 striker with option: Memphis Depay (Lyon), Gianluca Scamacca (Genoa) or Luka Jovic (Real Madrid) source: Local newsMilan's problem is always the same: money. They have inherited huge debts and can't spend that much on the transfer market, but there are many free players who could be picked up at no cost. Papu Gomez would be a dream, but I think it costs too high. Atalanta say that the offers start at 10 million euros, but I think Inter will offer much more |

less than 3 months before the start of the world championship, it already seems that there is a problem with the first race in Australia.
currently, Australian law requires a 14-day quarantine to enter the country. the race is Sunday 21 March, but the paddock staff must be there at least
Tuesday 16. Considering that there are tests in Barcelona until March 4, they would not have time to leave for Melbourne and do the 14 days of mandatory quarantine

Here we go, another exit scam.
it's always the same story, every time bitcoin has a very big pump, a small exchange is "hacked". From the statement they wrote on their site, it is not clear what happened to the funds, they just say that they no longer have access to their servers. I am starting to think that it is better to let go of the small exchage and use only the big ones, because it is systematic, with every bitcoin pump, a small exchage disappears with the funds |

I'm a Milan fan, but honestly it can't always go so well with a limited number of players. for now Pioli is working miracles but this cannot last for the whole season. In February the cups will return, Milan will have the Italian Cup and the Europa League, too many matches with strong opponents, reinforcements are needed.
He played well with Lazio yesterday, after scoring 2 goals he risked losing and then scored the winning goal in injury time, he also had a bit of luck

Just small info.
With the salary cap for team, they have also reduced the tests for 2021.
The next year we will have only 3 days of tests, down from 6 of 2020 and down from 8 of 2019.
The tests will be in Spain at Barcelona as always between the 2nd and 4th of March, or 73 days.
I think this is completely wrong, because to test the car the only real useful thing is the track. Doing just 3 days of testing is bad for teams. what would change if after having raced on a circuit, the teams stayed there for another 3 days to test, they would only have the cost of food and accommodation for the staff, since the materials are already there. increasing the tests would give the possibility to recover to those behind, working only in the wind tunnel is not productive |

I think Juventus can't complain to the referees, you can't think of losing at home to Fiorentina (Fiorentin's odds on betfair were 9).
Can't complain? Are you joking? The referee vote in the paper was 2 up to 4 of 10, and he will probably be banned next turns cause how many things he did wrong. he lost 3-0, even if he had the two penalties what would have changed? lost 3-2. if you are Italian like me, you know that Juventus has never been wronged by the referees Juventus is playing very badly, Pirlo as a coach had to gain experience before coaching a similar team. I were in the position of management, I would fire Pirlo and I would hire someone to make it to the end of the season at least |

Binotto did an Interview Today and he basically closed the door for the possibility to Hamilton next year. (2021)
He said we have our top driver Leclerc and we hope Carlos will grow with us, so there is no spot for Hamilton next year.
When he will renew his contract with Mercedes?
at this moment Ferrari would not need Hamilton, but someone capable of organizing the team, as did Montezemolo, Jean Todt. Unfortunately Binotto is unable to support this role, because there are too many things to change. they guaranteed to have solved the issue of the engine and therefore from next year it will be an acceptable power, but the problems with the chassis remain, of a car born very badly and never managed to progress. Leclerc is a very good driver, Sainz too, but they must have a decent car otherwise they get depressed like Vettel did in 2020. my only doubt about hamilton is the saudi arabian grand prix on the calendar. he is very sensitive to social issues and running in a country where human rights are trampled on is not like him |

It is useless to talk about the alleged penalties or the red card to Cuadraro, it must be admitted that Pirlo's Juventus is much worse than Sarri's. three goals at home from a team that was 17th in the standings, Juventus cannot concede them

Fun fact, the "record" goal of Milan was irregular. He was over the line of midfield when the game started.  A very fast goal, unfortunately if you see the replay of the goal video it turns out that it is not valid according to FIFA rules in football. But now Rafael Leao is the owner of the record for the fastest goals in the Italian league. So it looks like Milan are lucky even though I'm sure the tactics have been practiced continuously. So in football, sometimes there are some problems that the referee doesn't see and benefit one of the teams. Actually the Var was created but it seems that this escaped the opposing players' protests. I have now read an interview with luca marelli, a former Italian referee. technically Leao's goal could have been canceled because Leao was offside, but the Var could not report it, the referee himself had to notice it and had to start the game from scratch, because it had started irregularly, it was not a foul, it really went replayed by the minute 00:00 |

I believe Mercedes will never be caught unless some team decides to put insane amount of money into their cars. Also remember these are hundreds of millions of dollars worth of projects, to even have a F1 car is an insane idea, nobody should go into this thinking profits because you are going to bleed out cash like nothing else, hell it is going to hurt business more than it helps them. All the fame and power and recognition and advertisement you get will not be covered considering how much money you lose.
However, let's assume some crazy boss or CEO goes insane and decides to spend double what Mercedes spends, at that point any team can catch up to Mercedes, all they need is a whole new huge team that can work on the next car, and a team that works on even further while you keep on working on current car all different teams. That is literally the only thing that you can do, there is no other answer to Mercedes other than spend more than them.
unfortunately with the current formula 1 rules, no one can spend a lot of money, by regulation, in 2021 it is possible to spend only 145 million dollars per season (excluding salaries). Mercedes is way ahead with the engine and hybrid side, it has spent a lot on research in previous years. With the new 2021 rules, however, it could begin to lose competitiveness, we also remember the Ferrari of the Schumacher era, it seemed invincible, then it never won again |
