Lukaku is probably coming back to Inter and with Dybala, they will have a good attack.

Dybala-Lautaro-Lukaku

Maybe even too goo and they will end to sell Lautaro.
Spurs is interested in buying Lautaro, Conte knows him and the club seems ready to give a nice offer for him.
Inter will not sell him if both Lukaku and Dybala won't be in, eventually these two are almost with Inter so I assume Inter will let him go once the contracts are signed.
Just one point that needs to be mentioned, the contract of LM will end in 2026, so Inter can ask Spurs whatever they want to let him go to them.
Well it's gonna be a tough one to transfer a player with long term contract , huge cash needed and i don't think spurs board would approve this transfer unless of course if it's allowed through installments lol.

Lukaku seems going to stay at chelsea , pretty hard to look for a replacement with the same caliber as him.

It's more reasonable, instead of having to buy players at high prices, while his contract only has a year left and Lewandowski isn't young anymore. Barcelona has limited funds anyway, so if they insist on signing Lewandowski for a high price, then other players will have to be sacrificed.
~snip~
I heard that they have a debt of 1.5 billion Euros. I think the current players are already good enough for Barelona. The best thing is to relieve debt so that the team will not be destroyed in the future. I don't think Xavi is very demanding of management. If Lewandoski is expensive, maybe they can choose other players. Currently they also still have Aubameyang and Adama Traore. Last season they were pretty good. Although if De jong goes to Man United they will get money, they should have other options to be more efficient for the long term.
reportedly MU's offer to Barca regarding de jong is still happening (because Barca put a price of 80 million euros while MU asked for 60 million euros). Apart from that, it is reported that MU management is still unsure about De Jong, but this is Ten Hag's wish. I hope for the best that happens to Barca and their debt can be resolved.
If the asking price matched .. i think de jong will easily join manchester united , despite he is happy at barcelona , he will understand that selling him with such huge amount could help the club a lot who reported currently needed 500 million euro injection to save the club from a long long time crisis.

Manchester united are leading the race now , putting 10 million more and im pretty sure barcelona would agree.

You are here since 2016 and seriously is this price action worry you? Where were you in previous cycles? All cycles were so similar that I'm not even surprised anymore. I wouldn't expect Bitcoin this predictable but it happens. Just enjoy low prices and try to enlarge your Bitcoin stash. Nobody in this forum should be disappointed about price movements. People that heard Bitcoin in last cycle and have less knowledge may be disappointed but they will either learn or give up until another chance come.
Such a childish action though .. you need to suffer really hard first to get a really nice satisfaction looking at your wallet gained hundreds percent , so yeah dropping this hard are necessary ... as bitcoin to get back up is a sure thing , just the matter of time and you need to be patient.

Get used to it and always enjoy the ride !

It is surprising Liverpool can't get an agreement about Salah's salary. Is it so difficult for Liverpool to fulfill his demand?

The balance within the team is very important. When a player's salary increases, the other players' salary should also increase. This is a team game. Chaos can ensue if there is too much difference between the salaries of the players. Clubs that pay high fees to individual talent may not achieve long-term success. But clubs that have captured the team spirit are always more successful.
Well i don't think so .

You can see how huge the salary gap between cristiano and any other players in every single club he has joined , for a key player like salah the club must have him as exceptional besides the balance are indeed important , but leaving a key player in uncomfirtable situation ... that could be a disaster.
1025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High odds or low odds, which do you prefer? on: June 18, 2022, 11:58:06 PM
Let us assume that high odds start from 1.5 and above while low odds starts from 1.2 and below.

...
With that little difference, I don't weigh much choosing the higher odds as the favorite of many but I'd rather choose the team which I feel it will win. In many cases that lower odds wins and it was not called an accidental win, it is just how the balls roll, and sometimes luck.
It is somehow, higher odds gains more confidence from the crowd and most of the time I'd choose it but just to happen that they will lose. This means that it guarantees nothing in gambling.
Yeah it's often the low odds win you something and the high odds burst you out.

But whenever you put the money on high odds and win it , the feels much more great than when you win on a low odds ... that what makes me prefer to choose on a high odds bet over the low odds.
Despite yeah nothing guarantee in gambling , i am now chasing for the thrill not only for the outcome , that's why the high odds fits me more.
1026  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC "broke" the support level of 20k USD on: June 18, 2022, 11:39:26 PM
Bitcoin is currently trading at $ 19.1k after falling 8% in the past hour,
You know this is the ATH price of the 2017 bull cycle and the first time in history that bitcoin prices go back to the old ATH.

The market is entering its toughest period since 2017 when all coins were divided many times their ATH levels.
This is the moment when we decide to leave the market or our last chance to buy bitcoins cheaply. Perhaps this is the last time we can see bitcoin's price below $ 20k.
We will need to see what happens during the next hours and days, the 20k level was very important and now it has been broken, if the bears are able to keep the price below that level for some time they may succeed in scaring even more people into selling their coins and we could see an even bigger drop, not that I am complaining, since I love the fact that once again I can get myself some cheap bitcoin, even if I do not expect the current price to last for long.
It wasn't if anymore, it is now. You have to realize 20k level is very important for BTC and for years BTC try to cross it. After the ATH, now it falls back below that point, it signals something more worrisome and the whole market can see that. No, it wasn't if anymore, everyone right now has the same thinking: it will go lower and past that range. The market will react to that and pull out even more and chance to drop down below 15k.
Just keep buying!

No matter what .. you will never lost if you didnt leave , so just buy another bitcoin  and stay! Down to $15k like everyone else predicted? It shouldnt be a problem , your 1 bitcoin worth $15k , $10k or $5k ... it would remain 1 bitcoin and the world will see that fact soon , not now but it would do.
Put your seatbelt and enjoy the tough roads!

About Ronaldo to return to Real Madrid, I really don't know about that.
I really expect this,
But seeing the characteristic of Real Madrid, this club seems not to be a club that will get an old player, they will probably prefer to invest in a younger player to be added to the squad.
However, we will not know if this is about Ronaldo, maybe there is an expectation.
Ronaldo is more identical to Real Madrid, but don't know enough if they still have a chance to be together or not. Or maybe Ronaldo will move to Bayern?
There is a lot of speculation about how cristiano would not stay at manchester united , while he himself insist he is staying.
Return to Real madrid are always possible but if you looking at the chance percentage i would say it's too tiny , there is a lot of factors and yeah la liga will not be his next destination despite he is needed at real madrid.

Im so doubt about this and i prefer called it cheap gossips.
1028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Not your keys, not your coins" on: June 18, 2022, 11:08:13 PM
The thing is.... people are so used to the convenience of centralized services, because they used centralized services in the Fiat system (Banks) and they trust these services, because it is backed by governments. (Governments give bailouts when they fail)

They think large (regulated) Crypto exchanges give them the same security that Banks and other regulated financial institutions give them, but they are wrong. These centralized services are the main focus point for hackers and also for corrupt governments... and they can lose access to their coins at any given moment.  Roll Eyes
True ...

But there is another problem beside all of those reasons above , the complexity to have our own keys make the most of crypto userr especially a newcomer and non tech savvy will sure prefer to choose the centralized exchange over the decentralized wallet like trezor to store our own crypto.
As time goes by things gonna be alright and just become a usual thing to have a hardware wallet but for now people still thinks it's complicated .. just like the otherday where website & internet being underestimated plus complicated but now look at us , internet become the primary need everywhere
1029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 winner - Real Madrid! on: June 18, 2022, 10:59:05 PM
My big prediction for the next Champions League will be won by either Manchester City or PSG.
Both teams have invested greatly in good players and coaches but have lacked results.
Man City came so close but they couldn't as Real Madrid turned thing's around.
If not for the disqualification of Manchester City by real Madrid the club could have won the just concluded champion league but am sure if man city could qualify next round there will take home the trophy.
Very funny, What's the point of wishing for something like this.
City have already lost and that's a fact why to think they are champions lol
What City have to do is prepare for next season by fixing their vacant line instead of fantasizing about winning this season because this is something that is not necessary and maybe there is an addition that is not until next season they meet Madrid in the Champions League Cheesy
Those kind fantasy has been there since around two years ago though , you know what? Since psg keep shopping a superstar player like neymar and messi ... people around the globe agreed that psg the one that could able to win the champions league , yet they are not .. they are struggling even more.

So do with manchester city , everyone has the same expectation and yet they are failed!

There are some rumours arose again about a possible move for Cristiano Ronaldo to another team this summer. According to these rumours, Roma and Sporting Lisbon are already monitoring his situation and waiting for the right time to make an offer. This wasn't the kind of news I was expecting about Ronaldo actually. I thought that he would give a second chance to Manchester United after bringing Erik ten Hag. This is just a rumour of course and maybe there is no such thing now. I hope this rumour doesn't turn out to be true.

I can’t understand the source of these rumors - there seem to be no even close hints of such a development of events from the actors. But I will never believe that after a very good season, Ronaldo will move to a team that will not play in the Champions League. Now every year of his game is worth its weight in gold and I think he will try to make his goalscoring record more and more unattainable.
Lol yeah that's true.

If cristiano have to move .. it must be sporting lisbon, his hometown club no other club especially the strange rumors to roma it's like a random rumors.
Roma has no attractive offer other than being coached by mourinho , it's just doesn't makes any sense.
He will not return to serie a anytime soon.
1031  Economy / Speculation / Re: $13,000 is quite possible this week on: June 18, 2022, 10:33:59 PM
Should buy now? I have no idea. The price is falling too fast and therefore there is a chance to wait for a lower price for bitcoin.
The best idea right now is to buy and do a DCA, don't you think that's very useful? It's true looking at the current chart makes for an uncomfortable mood especially since we have a number of assets, but if I have enough capital that I can safely invest then I believe buying is the best advice.

For today I don't see any meaningful price recovery attempt, it's possible to see a decline to lower levels. If the selling pressure is still strong enough this week, the bitcoin price will return to its lowest point. Many people think that this is the best opportunity to buy, but of course worry will prevent some of them from taking action to buy. If someone were to ask me directly about whether it was the right time, then my only question would be whether he or she is ready to take all the risks.
Just buy for every $5,000 dropped or every $2,000 dropped depends on how large your budget to invest for quite log time enough as yeah the free fall might continue in these bearish season , not only in crypto ... every single financial market outside crypto are crashed!

So yeah keep buying if you are a believer or else follow op to make a short position to get what he called 'easy' risky money , nothing wrong though.
1032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 18, 2022, 03:04:10 PM
I think Ronaldo will decide to stay at Manchester United till the end of his career. Ronaldo is now about 38 years old. Now it will not be easy for him to adapt to any new squad. And he can't even play well. So it would be more honorable for Ronaldo to retire from United.
This rumor is a bit shocking because Ronaldo wants to leave Old Trafford next season but this is just news that is not necessarily true I don't know for sure but I'm sure he can stay at Manchester United to become a legend because that's what most fans want but he is indeed more like the new atmosphere in other leagues even though he is not young anymore, but in my opinion, this is unlikely to happen there will be some other news Ronaldo can stay at Man United if his contract is extended again unless Ten Hag wants it.
Im pretty sure that cristiano will retire at sporting lisbon .. his childhood club and he has a promise to spend the last year of his career will be there at lisbon.
Nobody knows where he will retire and leaving manchester united , one thing is pretty sure that lisbon is the very last destination.

3 more years i guess for his pro career so next season he will leave for lisbon.
1033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: June 18, 2022, 02:24:48 PM
Manchester City and Liverpool are the teams that are most prepared for next season in the Premier League in my opinion. Both teams are equally successful in bringing in quality players in this transfer market. Especially Manchester City who successfully brought in talented young players from Borussia Dortmund. That will help them be even scarier next season. They have good capital now.
Yes I agree with you.  Next season, the rivalry between Manchester City and Liverpool continues.  Both of these teams look very ready to welcome the new season and as evidenced by the arrival of two great strikers Haaland and Nunez.  And in my opinion, Manchester City will win again next season because they have a very complete squad.  Then among several other big teams, I think Tottenham will be a serious challenger for both teams.

Nobody knew though ..

You know there is manchester united with its revolution , a total revolution under ten haag and also there is chelsea with its new owner + the fresh money injection from the new owner to build stronger squad.
Could be between these three , one thing that makes everyone exciting is about how erling haaland meet everyone expectation.
1034  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price suddenly dropped from $ 31K on: June 13, 2022, 11:47:53 PM
It is likely we are closing down to the bottom...
The market can't able to hold weak people, they are now selling huge amounts making the market crash badly. Kinda be surprising as many accumulate in the market above $25k but for now, Bitcoin had fallen to $23k (at this post). I foresee that this might continue to drop more which could make worries and panic among the holders. As to see, this was not a small correction but big investors have already triggered panic selling.
Bitcoin at present have been moving down to $23k. This is predicted to go even lower to that, because the market is experiencing major blow out of the hike in the interest rate to keep the inflation in control. The monetary system have failed to achieve what they've done and so the same have happened with bitcoin. In particular today the panic have increased alot among the common people, because the drop is big moving from $28k to price down to $23k.
We can never predicted this free market accurately.

But hey yeah we have got the bigger picture on how the crash will come after us and it did happened now.
The bear market has been here for a couple months and we are indeed failed to break the 32k level for many attempts during these months.
Here we are continuing the drop more to crash deeper than below $20k ?
1035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is it so hard to win at gambling? on: June 13, 2022, 11:40:17 PM
It is difficult winning at gambling because of how the structure has been set where the odds of winning is highly in favour of the bookmakers. Contrary to the opinion that some unenlightened gamblers may hold that it is a fifty fifty chance (50/50), it is more of a ninety ten (90/10) situation. This is why winning is mostly attributed to luck for some.

when it comes to sportsbetting, you have a "fight" with bookies. because not all odds that they will give will come true. but when it comes to casino classics, those luck-based games, the chance of winning is slim because it is based on luck plus you have the HE. so for me, if you are very familiar with the sports, like you live and breathe that sports, you have better chance of winning in sportsbetting. just take for example, how many times recently that bookies got it wrong when it comes to boxing? canelo vs bivol, pacquiao vs ugas, kambosos vs lopez...
True , there is a lot of trap odds.

Making the game in sportsbetting looks like an easy winning but actually it's huge blow whenever you put your whole money in due the super low odds.
The point is to mastering your emotional feeling , once you have acquired that .. nomatter it's spirtsbetting or casino you would feel easy money everywhere.

This may be the ideal one to think. But sometimes, we don't know what will happen to us. not everyone is a holder or long-term investor. SO, we cannot be sure enough that we will not sell our BTC. Sometimes, we need money to cash out also r take profits. But yes,  1BTC=1BTC
Well if you put your whole live savings in a single basket in bitcoin then that's the problem.
You will never get a place where you could just living your life during these hard times of bitcoin market crashes ... and comeback later whenever the crash turned into an unstoppable bullish.

Get your backup money now and keep the rest of it in bitcoin , that's one or another way to have a wealthy life in the future through the bitcoin firtune!

Captaincy is not about how long you have been in the club .. not only that.
Captaincy is a leadership .. a player who selected as a captain must have that leadership traits , otherwise ... there you go harry maguire for you.
Im more to cristiano instead of de gea , you know why ... clearly the level of cristiano leadership above every single united players.

Cristiano for captain!
Agree with what you said and I still feel that Cristiano is fit to be captain now because the leadership on the pitch obviously Cristiano can do that, besides that sometimes the captain's role is also a driving force for other players and obviously the captain's role is very vital on the pitch.
But in this case even if he doesn't become captain but most importantly don't Maguire be in this position again Cheesy
It's been reported though that maguire insist want to keep the captain armband.

Lol it shows how poor his leadership , i don't know what he is thinking about .. but a manager hold the highest level of power in deciding something , ten haag could have not discuss about that captain thing but it's normal thing to speak first just to give a respect each other.
But it seems maguire doesnt have that respect by saying he insist wanting the captain armband lol , such a hilarious action from maguire.
1038  Economy / Economics / Re: Taking loan during high inflation? on: June 13, 2022, 10:40:47 PM
Do not invite trouble. Play safe. Loans are not the way to become rich again.
Sure. Taking a loan isn't the right way to be rich, I am sure everyone knows it. Having a loan probably makes us in a trouble because we may be difficult to pay the loan. But some people don't care about the risk and just take a loan confidently. They may think to pay the loan isn't something very hard because there should be many ways then. Even some people take a new loan to pay their previous loan. They don't know if it will be a big trouble in the future.


Well sometimes you need to take that high risk to get that high return... otherwise yeah you will just living a standard life , im not saying taking loan is the only way ..
But hey let's see someone's success story , they always invite the third party to come in to invest , to take a loan just like elon musk who bought twitter with money that he loaned.

High risk , high return... that's all .. the crisis like this could be an opportunity for the high risk taker.
It may be right but there is no assurance in crypto investment and dealing with this using our Loan money is really not that good idea for me.

I have a friend back in 2017 who do the same and yes he used to earn but with His greed mind? he turns out as loser, and now I will neber apply the same thing for this matter,

But of course if depend on how we wanted to do our dealings , though always remember that in volatile market? there is always a high risks.
Actually if you are newcomer and have not the experience doing the crypto investment at all .. then it's a total disaster. At least you need to bei experienced for a couple years knowing the up and downs .. the exceptional feeling on getting a huge profit .. the misery on falling apart overnight etc then you will have a better sights on how crypto investment should be done with the money you get from a loan.

Not really good idea but yeah the best way to get rich for the risk taker.

Marcelo gave an emotional farewell to Real Madrid as he exits the club after spending 15years at the club. His teammates will missed the Brazilian as he becomes one of the most best player in Madrid History. He won countless number of trophies with Madrid with incredible titles. Marcelo now has:
6X Laliga
5x UCL
4x Club World Cups
3x European Super Cups
2x Copa del Rey
5x Spanish Super Cups
He is a legend and soon enough, he might probably join the coaching staff of Carlo Ancelloti.
I agree, he is one of the clubs best players that retired, if you want to hang a jersey up the rafters, that is one of them for sure. Marcelo played 15 very strong years for Real, and he provided so much talent and won so much with the club. Of course not all achievements are his, but he was there when it happened.

Ever since Roberto Carlos retired, Marcelo took up the position and made sure that the left back was a place Real never considered with a problem. I am sure that Mend will be great after Marcelo as well. I do not know what Marcelo will do next, but I am sure that he definitely has place in Real Madrid staff somewhere if he wants to.
There might be few players who could be able to stay at marcelo level and achieve a lot of things, very few.

It's been a long journey and he end it very well with the beautiful champions league trophy at the end of his time at real madrid.
He knew that he could still play elsewhere outside europe , he is planning to play at his hometown club at brazil.
He will not retire yet.

Damn, that was risky then, but who'd have called an approach to 21k so soon, barely a month after the posting of that price, huh? 50% drop in a month, and using the same asset to borrow against to buy more of the same, that was a virtual double down on a risky position.

It's a crazy bet, probably one I'd have made myself in all honesty, to not see Bitcoin drop below previous ATH. Definitely would have done it in a blink if I had Micro's extra stash lying around.
Crazy bet indeed but yeah that's a life of trader ... especially a trader that play in a margin trading , you would get this kind moment of falling like right now quite often .. approaching $21K within a couple days only and boom your position going to end liquidated.

And speaking about michael saylor ... i just cant imagined it. Too much money in stake.
