Newcastle did a bid of 50m euro to Milan for Sandro Tonali, 23 years old.

We are going for 3 billion spent this summer from Premier League.
Eddie Howe's team has a fairly competitive squad, but they still need depth in terms of players and reportedly Newcastle are ready to enliven the transfer market early next season to further strengthen their team. True, so far I have heard that Newcastle has indeed made an offer worth 50 million euros to Milan to be able to get the services of Sandro Tonali, this is one of Eddie Howe's big plans to add strength to the midfield. But on the other hand, it seems that Newcastle has a small chance of being able to sign him because we can see that Tonali is a player who has an important role for Milan, he is still under contract with Milan until 2027, and this is still quite a long time and on the other hand, he is a big fan of Milan and admits love to play with Milan. I think Eddie Howe's desire to be able to sign him will fail because he will most likely choose to stay longer with AC Milan.

next season the focus of Pochettino may only be on the Premier League. now he is still trying to choose the players he will use in the squad. Let's hope next season won't be like last season, when Chelsea threw away a lot of money but they didn't get anything.
Pochettino has a big challenge, but let's hope he can overcome it. Competing at the top of the Premier League shouldn't be difficult for Chelsea. but it all depends on how ready the new team that Pochettino will build is.
Pochettino has enormous responsibility for Chelsea's progress, and however, he should be able to make a significant contribution given the club's current problems. Todd has brought in a lot of quality new players and of course, at a great price, he has paid a lot of money this season and I don't think Pochettino will squander this despite everything Todd has put in. Pochettino is very experienced in the Premier League and I don't think it will be too difficult for him to be able to make progress for Chelsea, to be able to compete and finish in the top five is very good for a team that is so down. I hope Pochettino and the players, including the new players, can work well together.

Very well said, that's how human psychology is, we start doing something only to have some fun for only a small period of time, but as time goes on, we start increasing that time instead of leaving that thing, and when we keep going and increasing the time or the resources we spend in case of gambling it is money, we don't really realize what we are getting ourselves into until a time comes where we have already reached so far that it is almost impossible for us to return.

Filling their boring free time with gambling, they do this only for a short time but most of them forget the way back because they have had fun and they want this thing to last longer. Something fun will turn into a hobby for happiness. They had started it and they loved it, there was not the slightest bit of boredom because they had placed too many hopes for a victory so it was difficult for them to find their way back.

The same thing happens when we start gambling, we don't want to get addicted or gamble for addiction, and most of us might just gamble for fun initially, but as we get deeper into it, we start increasing our stakes, the money that we spend later will be way higher than what we have started with, and slowly, we get addicted to gambling.

Someone who has started gambling even though it is on a trial basis means that he has agreed with himself that he will not mind if one day the feeling of addiction comes over him. The self-control factor will not have much effect when someone is already addicted. The finances in his life will definitely fall apart and if someone is in this position, they will never feel a calm psychology.

Latest Updates!

Sources have revealed that it is thought West Ham will turn down the £90m bid and it looks like this will be the second time West Ham have turned down an offer. I think West Ham is too much for one player whose contribution to winning a major trophy is unclear and this rejection makes it clear that West Ham will never be satisfied with such an offer. On the other hand, West Ham is still expecting an offer from Manchester City and of course the offer must be higher than what Arsenal made. I think as a mediocre club, West Ham will actually be seen as not good if the problem of player transfers is still dissatisfied with this large nominal.
I heard that West Ham has set a price of 100 million pounds for any club that wants to marry Declan Rice, the 90 million pounds offered by Arsenal, in my opinion, is not too far from the price target given by West Ham. I don't know if 100 million pounds is the opening price from West Ham or a fixed price. With West Ham turning down Arsenal's offer, everyone will think this is a bit too much and it is likely that some of the clubs that want him will look for other, more plausible alternatives.

I think maybe it's because Declan Rice is such a high-quality player and one of the key players from West Ham that it's difficult for West Ham to let him go for a price that doesn't really satisfy them. Many big clubs want it and they indirectly take advantage of this situation to get a lot of profit by choosing the highest price offered by the participating clubs in this hunt.

You are so valid, current performance is not indicative of future performance, Man City did well this season but that doesn't mean that they did not have changes. And if Arsenal could have done better than relenting when they needed to fight most, they would have won the title. Next season is another chapter that no one knows yet, there are viable contenders in the line-up.
That's right, Manchester City won the Premier League title last season, they even became a club that won the Treble Winner. But indeed, even though they have everything today, it is not certain that next season they will be able to do it again or be able to win the same title. All clubs make a lot of improvements for the Premier League next season, including Arsenal. No one knows who will win the Premier League title next season because it is quite difficult to predict, for sure I know for sure that Arteta will not waste the opportunity to win the title next season after his failure last season.

Despite Arsenal’s interest in getting Declan Rice on their side this summer I still expect that they have someone also good enough to be coming in from the bench as a substitute for Declan Rice and I believe Thomas Partey can come be that player. One major problem Arsenal faced in title chase was not having sufficient backup for their best players, so when fatigue and injuries came, the performance of the team dropped. I hope they can fix this problem this summer.
Yes, indeed Arsenal's management must be able to see this situation, no matter how good the players are, they will not be able to do anything if they are injured. No one knows and at any time the players could experience this. With the performance and quality possessed by Thomas Partey, I think it is good enough to sit on the bench, acting as a substitute when Declan Rice is injured one day and in my opinion he will be able to fill the void to balance the game. Arteta must make a complete overhaul of his club to be able to compete more strongly in the Premier League next season and of course everyone including the Gunners fans don't want their pride club to have to swallow another failure next season to be able to win the Premier League title which they failed to get in this season.

You don't know the owner, but what makes you sure to deposit bitcoin to exchange?.

what makes you sure that your Bitcoin arrived safely and was not taken away by the owner?

I always thought that,
same as banks, I don't want to save it for long time, because banks often go bankrupt, and the owner run overseas.
I totally agree, and the perception of people who still have faith in their Bitcoin on exchanges and not trade at all should really be informed about how risky this is. Centralized exchanges are just buying and selling options nothing more and even though their influence in the crypto world is quite large, still our holding is the main thing that needs to be protected and needs to be secured to a personal wallet if we are indeed a trader. Even traders know when to quickly secure their assets, and don't let assets hang around for long on a centralized exchange.

Your view of gambling as chilled-out leisure paints an alluring picture but not without risks. Things get messy when the initial excitement of risk-taking turns into a fixation. Saying that only a few gamblers can stay in control is a big understatement. Many studies reveal that most people can't recognize when they've shifted from a good time to an addiction. Their brains link the thrill of the gamble with happiness, complicating quitting. Though gambling for fun with self-restraint seems feasible, it overlooks the potential destruction of addiction. It's essential to highlight that for many, gambling isn't a simple toss-up between enjoyment and gain. It's a psychological trap causing deep financial and emotional issues.
The psychology of a person (a gambler) is indeed one of the factors that will greatly influence gambling, it is difficult for someone who has experienced addiction to be able to control himself because indeed the hope for a win is always an image in his mind. Compulsive and out of control are the strongest causes of gamblers experiencing addiction and this addiction comes from two separate reward pathways in the brain that can affect a person's behavior, namely liking and wanting. It's hard to hold someone who has experienced addiction to gambling to rest or stop because it's like you said that they like the exciting sensation of betting. Even though they have lost a lot of valuable things they have, there is still hope for a victory and then they will return to do it with high confidence.

Funny enough I thought Potter will do great at Chelsea. He was really good at Brighton and I felt he will replicate the same performance with Chelsea. How wrong I was. I really don't know what happened t Potter in Chelsea but he was beyond awful. His team played so badly. Chelsea should have fired him earlier.
But then again, Chelsea went ahead to hire Lampard. What exactly were they thinking? If Chelsea had gotten a better manager after sacking Potter they would have finished in a better place on the table. probably not a among the top 6, but definitely not 12th position.
Yes, it's true, I see Chelsea's situation is always in a bad state, especially after coaching from Potter. I don't know what was the reason Todd brought Potter to train his club, from a financial point of view Chelsea was very supportive and they could bring in any good player for their club but the strange thing was that in the end, no matter how good the player was, Chelsea still couldn't get out of their slump. Lampard's presence in fact could not make any progress or change for Chelsea, yes maybe indeed because this task was too difficult for him. Now Todd has succeeded in bringing in Pochettino and has entrusted Chelsea to him. So far Todd says that Pochettino is believed to have very experienced in coaching English League clubs. Everyone including the fans and I will be very happy if Pochettino manages to make a change for Chelsea next season. Now Pochettino is reshuffling the Blues squad and I hope that Chelsea's appearance in the Premier League next season can be as expected, placing in the top five in the standings to be able to compete is very good for the first step of his progress.
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: June 18, 2023, 03:05:42 PM
Yeah I felt remorse when I was gamble to earn money, but I learn to accept losses and find the enjoyment through gambling, I never felt remorse after gambling anymore. It's all about your mindset, someone who gamble without looking to earn money will not mad or sad when if they lose. Remember, gamble isn't for everyone especially people who still earn less than their monthly needs.

Actually, it all depends on the conditions, when you get a win then I think you won't feel the regret. And conversely, if you experience defeat, you will definitely feel regret. Learning to be able to accept consequences or risks is a good action so you are not too down to keep thinking about it. Gamble healthily where you can accept all the facts that will happen at the end of the game. I just lost at gambling but it didn't bother me psychologically at all, because before doing so I had agreed with myself that however the end result I would accept it and I risked the money that I had prepared for a loss. It all depends on each person's perspective, if someone views gambling as a way of making money then it is certain that there will be lots of negative impacts that he will feel, even stress though.

I think everyone has went to that kind of emotions when we gamble, specially regrets and that what ifs after a lose. What if we didn't gamble that money or what if we stop when we are still in the winning ways.

But I guess for the majority of gamblers, we already know that sooner or later we are going to lose everything. But we still go and take that risk and it's going to be very difficult to us once we lost that money.

I think regret will not come if someone looks at gambling in a healthy way, where it is only for entertainment and cannot be used as a field for making money. All gamblers realize that sooner or later they will experience negative effects from gambling, but as you said even though defeat always dominates in the end they still always do it, this may be due to the impact of an expectation that is too high.

Several Saudi Pro League teams moved very quickly in developing their strengths by trying to bring in some of Europe's top players. There are a lot of players being linked with them at the moment and some of them have reached an agreement. They have a lot of money to offer any player, and if they continue to do so over the next few seasons then the quality of the Saudi Pro League will be better than ever.

Money would change everything about them, but I think they knew that it would also greatly support their profitable business. Chelsea have quite a lot of players in stock to sell, so it's certain they will make a big profit if a deal goes through.
This deal has a lot of positive effects for both parties, the players benefit greatly from the salary they receive, I think all the players want this position and the club can also benefit from the arrival of these European stars. Besides being able to increase the club's reputation, it can also bring in more spectators and this is good business. Now it is possible that the Saudi League will become a spectacle that will attract the attention of many parties with the presence of European star players. Money is the main factor that makes European stars want to join the Arab League, I think that salary will be enough to sustain life when one day they decide to hang up their boots and you could say the decision to play in the Saudi Arabian League is a short-term investment.

The contract of David de Gea with Manchester United is going to end this month, and the club is expected to sign new contract with Jordan Pickford. But the news is still not confirmed yet that if he will sign the contract with them or not. The Manchester United team's coach Erik ten Hag is highly interested to hire Jordan as the new goal keeper of the club, and if Jordan agrees to sign the contract then the team will finally have a better goal keeper in their team.

I have heard that they have offered £45 million for Jordan, but Everton club is demanding £50 million for the goal keeper to be transferred in the United team. I'm pretty sure that Manchester United will finally sign the contract with Jordan Pickford because they are doing their best to have him as their new goal keeper.
Yes, his contract is ending soon but so far I still haven't heard about his contract extension, now David De Gea's contract has less than two weeks left and there are still no rumors circulating about an extension regarding his contract. De Gea has been in talks with the club for months over a possible deal, but so far nothing has been clear. Yes, I think it is unlikely that Ten Hag will give him a contract extension and maybe now the management is looking for a new candidate to replace him. Now reports linking United with another goalkeeper are increasing and England star Jordan Pickford has opened the door to leaving Goodison Park and it is reported Manchester United are preparing a significant bid to sign him. 45 million euros will reportedly be the purchase price offered by the Ten Hag squad to be able to bring him in. I think this deal is imminent and Manchester United has a great chance now that, the Toffees are in need of a cash injection.

Chelsea failed this season. and of course, they will try to fix it next season. they have a new coach who I think will make a difference to Chelsea's game even with the current squad.
but maybe Chelsea can indeed sign Vlahovic this season. but it was reported that their offer also could not be attractive to Juventus. let alone a big Premier League club, United also wants Vlahovic. it looks like Chelsea will have to increase their bid to land Vlahovic's signature.
Chelsea really needs Vlahovic and hopes to join the team soon, but on the other hand, the offer Chelsea made regarding Vlahovic to Juventus was not very attractive, because the Blues wanted the option to exchange players rather than buy players. Chelsea is reported to have made an offer and presented five Blues players who are willing to exchange Vlahovic. I think Chelsea's chances are very small to be able to get Vlahovic because, on the other hand, Juventus are in need of fresh funds to spend in the transfer market next summer. Juventus made a statement that the current management needs around 100 million euros. Apart from that, it is reported that Manchester United is also one of the clubs targeting Vlahovic, the Red Devils are in need of a new goal machine for next season and Vlahovic is considered capable of being a solution to strengthen Ten Hag's troops. I see a big chance that Vlahovic will fall into the hands of Manchester United.

I've seen case scenario where people make good profits and never visit gambling a again and already invested in other businesses and today are still doing well.
Most times people want the easy way to make money and gambling seems to be that way that's why most persons wouldn't mind to lavish a huge profit with hopes or getting a bigger one and that's one thing that also drags people to addiction.
I personally can quit gambling  after a huge winning bjt it all depends on the amount won because money worn are sweeter than money earned and that's one thing  that will  keep dragging people to gamble.
At first I didn't think that someone who had gotten a big win at gambling would be able to stop doing it, because I know there are many cases where someone who has gotten a lot of wins will get even more addicted to gambling, and that can happen. There is no denying that everyone is greedy when it comes to money and always wants something more than before. But now I know from you, that it turns out that there are people who can stop when they get a big win, moving that money for long-term business is indeed a very good choice, because if he decides to bet again in the hope of getting a big win like before it's uncertain. he can get it back. Because yes it's gambling and it's a matter of luck, everyone has a lucky limit. I mean luck will not always come to him.
115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 17, 2023, 03:44:02 PM
To be honest, for me Pochettino is clearly better and cannot be compared to Lampard and Potter. Because after all, Pochettino is used to coaching big teams like Tottenham and PSG and thus, of course Pochettino will be able to make an impact and also perform well for Chelsea. But even so, we also can't expect Chelsea to win the title because after all, competition in the title race will be very difficult next season because other big teams are also continuing to improve their squad. So yes, even though Chelsea can't win the title, but if next season Chelsea can compete in the top four then of course, this is also a good achievement for Pochettino.
Chelsea is still very far below the big Premier League clubs, we can't expect more for Chelsea's performance in the upcoming Premier League season. Pochettino has been appointed as the new coach of Chelsea, he is considered a coach who has mature experience in the Premier League so he was appointed by Todd as a replacement for Lampard. Now some improvements are being made under Pochettino. Hoping Chelsea can win the Premier League next season is too much and I don't think it's possible to happen. No matter how good the new coach Todd managed to bring in, basically the players had to go through a long reform process to be able to produce a solid game for the sake of cohesiveness. Being able to compete in the top five Premier League positions next season is very good for the start of Chelsea's journey and everyone, including fans, is looking forward to it.

Maybe no, but I will save the larger proportion of my money in savings and other business but I will always play gambling. I treated gambling as an entertainment not as a source of income, if I will be lucky and get that huge amount of money they that could be great but in this life I will never treat gambling as my only hope.
This looks healthier, and indeed all gamblers should be able to do something like this. Gambling for the purpose of entertainment only, I agree with you, which is where I will gamble when I feel stressed because of work and only to fill my spare time when I feel bored. But the problem is that most of them are too ambitious in gambling, and always have more hopes for a win, so it's not uncommon for them to make this their main livelihood field. Without them knowing that this is a gamble where they will win when luck comes.

The decision was on PSG and Mbappe itself. The club can put him on the transfer market. I think that it will far better for PSG to sell him this season rather than waiting for his contract to end next year.
PSG will get nothing if mbappe will be leaving from the club with a free agent. It seems like that manchester united is having very big ambition to sign mbappe. MU has even prepared an exchange deal for mbappe.
I think that this gonna be a very important season for PSG and mbappe. I saw that if all of players in PSG are not willing to see mbappe to leave from the club. I think that's mbappe's strategy caused by he knew that if PSG will put very big release clause for him.

Now PSG is at a very confusing point, management must be able to respect Mbappe's decision but on the other hand, if PSG don't sell him as soon as possible then they won't be able to get anything for his departure next season. We know that PSG has spent a lot of money on his salary but still cannot achieve the team's goals, therefore the management definitely doesn't want his departure on a free transfer to happen. The only solution is to sell it this season to at least make up for the money that has been spent. Manchester United is one of the teams expecting Mbappe to arrive, they are ready financially. But I think it will be better if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid because Real Madrid is his dream team and he will have a great chance to get some UCL trophies. It would be a loss if Mbappe chose to join Manchester United because it is unlikely that he will be able to achieve various new achievements. I hope Mbappe knows what he has to do to advance his career in the future.

I
The only way to let him stay even longer or terminate his contract. Just put him in the bench will be enough. I think that if mbappe will be threatened not to play in upcoming season and he will think for twice to stay even longer in PSG.
PSG will be on very big disadvantage if he stays even longer caused by PSG will lose ability to sell him for big money.

However, in any case, in my opinion, PSG should immediately open a sales window for him, Mbappe wants to stay until the end of his contract, and if PSG agrees then they will get nothing and obviously this can be a big loss for the team.

Chelsea changed a lot after the British government forced Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich out of Chelsea as owner. Then Todd Boehly took over the club as the new owner which in the end made many changes on the management side. Todd Boehly was desperate to bring instant glory to Chelsea in his first season but the truth is that everything he's done this season hasn't turned out well.

I'm not entirely surprised how Chelsea have been this season because they are essentially in transition. It takes several seasons to build a good team and collaboration both internally and externally, and this will be achieved by Chelsea in the following seasons.
Yes, maybe this is part of the process for Chelsea's progress, if we look at performance, especially in the Premier League this season, Chelsea did get very bad results, but maybe this is normal as a journey that might be quite long. There have been too many disappointments for Chelsea this season, especially from the Blues fans. Now Todd has brought in a lot of star players, even though they are in the same class as star players, they still need a process to be able to adapt to other teams and players. I see here that there is no chemistry between the coach and the players so it is difficult to achieve cohesiveness in playing. Hopefully the arrival of Pochettino who was chosen as the new coach is able to fix the problems that have plagued Chelsea and make progress for next season. Occupying the top five positions in the Premier League final standings next season is very good for the start of the Blues' progress.

Mbappe does not dictate anything, he just told the management about his decision and they have to make a decision. They do not want to let him go as a free agent, because they understand that a lot of money was spent on transfers and salaries, but PSG did not achieve their goal, so they want to return at least some money. They want assurance that Mbappe won't leave and obviously the team needs him, but apparently Mbappe wants to play for other clubs while he's young and full of energy.
Yes, it is very clear that PSG will not let him go that easily, PSG still needs him, but on the other hand, management must also be able to respect his decision. Too much money has been spent but they have not been able to get anything for the contributions that have been given. The problem is with one year remaining on his contract, he can leave PSG on a free transfer, and of course, management doesn't want that to happen. Now it is reported that PSG is trying to persuade Mbappe to accept the option of a contract extension for another year and if in the end Mbappe still refuses the offer, then there is only one way for PSG, namely to sell him at a high price this summer. It's very confusing for PSG but it's the only way. PSG is better off selling him when Mbappe still has value than next season on free status. This is a concern for Real Madrid, who are currently losing their flagship player, namely Benzema, and it is very likely that Mbappe will go to Real Madrid to replace Benzema.

This is a very tough task where Pochettino has to coach Chelsea when it is in its worst phase.
With the replacement of several players it might be easier for Pochettino to improve Chelsea's performance but the question is whether Chelsea can spend a larger amount of money to be able to transfer players.
But if they are willing to sell some players and the proceeds from the trade are used to buy other players then Chelsea can save a little on spending on player transfers.
Todd has chosen Pochettino as the new Chelsea coach and Pochettino has agreed, meaning that whatever the risks are and no matter how hard the work, he must be able to take responsibility and do something to make progress. Pochettino is currently overhauling Chelsea, and the first step he took was selling some of his players who were deemed unable to make a significant contribution to the team, then buying new players with more potential and promise. Reportedly this is to reduce expenses that swell. Pochettino is believed to have discussed several potential targets with Chelsea in the upcoming transfer window, and he already has a clear vision of what could happen during the summer transfer window. I hope that with all his coaching experience, he can make Chelsea even better in the Premier League in the future.
