Mbappe has been reintegrated into the squad first of all. There was a really big tension between him and the team but it looks like he hasn't lost his place. I had big doubts after not seeing him against Lorient on the first week. However I'm not sure about whether he would like to bring it to a contract extension point.

He was very clear about his intention to leave at the end of his contract. What happened suddenly that could affect him that deeply to change his mind?

I hope he doesn't stay at PSG after all those things. I just want to see him starting off with a clean slate at Real Madrid as of next summer.  

Even though i think Harry Maguire got more sticks than he actually deserves, overall his time at Manchester United was a complete failure, he should have left a lot sooner than now. I find it weird when players decide to stay in their club, when it is obvious things aren't working out for them there and they prolly are not wanted.

Maguire will improve in West Ham, i am pretty certain about that, i think what he needs is just a fresh start, which he is going to get there. I think West Ham have done a pretty impressive transfer business thus far this summer, they have also brought in James Ward-Prowse from relegated Southampton, and Edson Alvarez from Ajax, though they lost Declan Rice to Arsenal but they got good money for him, and even if they lose Lucas Paqueta to City, they are also going to make over £80m in that transfer, so i think they are having a good summer.

today I went to place my bets for this weekend's game, I was shocked by the odd value of the real madrid game against Bilbao, in this game real madrid has an odd of @2.02, and a very high odd value knowing that the real madrid had an acceptable performance in friendly games, in the last 4 games real madrid won in 2 games and lost in two games, coming from two consecutive defeats, but they were friendly games, and their opponent Bilbao did not do well in the friendly games, having played 5 games in which he failed to win any of the 5 games, but real madrid has a big problem, I'm talking about this news:




source: https://en.as.com/soccer/real-madrid-goalkeeper-thibaut-courtois-injured-how-long-is-he-out-for-what-is-the-injury-n/

this is bad news for real madrid, there has already been talk that real madrid could hire de gea to replace courtois, in my opinion it would be good for real madrid to rush to hire de gea who has always been an excellent guard - networks and would be a good solution for real madrid at this time. I hope this doesn't affect the result of real madrid's first game too much, because I bet on real madrid's victory in this game against bilbao, although real madrid's attack is not so great since benzema left, i still see them with enough power to win this game

another game I bet on was barcelona's game against getafe, i also found it strange that it has a very high odd value in case barcelona wins this game, barcelona has an odd of 1.56 in case it wins this game, looking at the barcelona's performance in the last few games they had 3 consecutive victories and they were victories against strong opponents, while their opponent getafe did not manage to do well when they played against medium opponents, so I see barcelona managing to win in this game and with that value of odd, I couldn't leave this good opportunity so I bet on barcelona

This result looks a foregone conclusion and I must say that 1.3 is a very good odds to bet on. There is another interesting option:

Erling Braut Haaland 1.49

After a series of unsuccessful games, everyone expects goals from Haaland and I fully admit that he will start with this game (maybe even make a hat-trick although bookmakers expect 2 goals from this game as the most likely outcome).

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cannot play better than when he was in Dortmund. He was not impressive in Arsenal, he was not also impressive in Barcelona, and he was terrible in Chelsea and a big flop. I would not expect a big performance from him. For me, right now he is just a mid striker that has seen his better days, Marseille cannot depend on him much.

Manchester City will find it difficult to play and win Bayern Munich if they meet again this season in the champions league. Bayern Munich have been able to bring in a good striker that can perform when needed, talking about Harry Kane. In the champions league, Harry Kane will be fire for them.

It matters a lot, in a 4 years contract and when you are already 30 going for 34 years old.

Also after 30 years Zlatan was not good anymore, he was scoring half of his goals did in his 20y

I still don't know why many people are talking much about the amount (£105m) Arsenal spent on Rice and that he won't play anything close to what he played while he was with the Hammers.
Some ex players from Manchester United are taking it personal that Arsenal over paid for the player but I believe he's better than Sancho, Mount and even Anthony. Well that's not the main issue, what I know is that Rice is going to do very well at Arsenal, rival fans are using his play against Man City on Sunday to judge how he'd play come next season but that's just the beginning before the league begins people would see the best of Rice.

‌
Bad news for Napli because it seems their 200m player who is an important and effective player for this team is not in a good situation and he got injured in training.
In today's training, their new defender, who joined this team a few days ago Natan, was the reason for Osimhn getting injured.
As the first match in Serie A Napoli will face Frosinone on August 21st.

About Barcelona, There is still news if Barcelona continue to look for new players. It looks like they want to borrow Cancelo, but Man City want to sell permanently. But it seems that Barcelona want to borrow him, so Barcelona tried to approach Frimpong from Bayern Leverkusen. But Fripong is also not cheap, Leverkusen want €30 million. Of course this is news that makes me surprised, because many of Barcelona's financial rumors and players that have not been registered until now are still quite a lot and and Barcelona have limited salary cap problems.

Reunion student and teacher between Vincent Kompany as Bunrley's manager against his teacher Pep Guardiola as Manchester City's manager, its seems excited because Premier League season 2023/24 will begin on next few days and Manchester City will try defend their domestic league tittle. Current sportsbook, Manchester City is favorite teams for winning against promotion teams Burnley and unbelievable odd given

• Burnley @9.2
• Manchester City @1.33
• Draw 5.00

Usually first or opening match unpredictable thing happening, many Premier League teams promotion have impressive performance and looks Burnley its not easy defeating team by Manchester City. Looks Burnley has chance for winning first match in Premier League actually they will play at home and Manchester City has underperformance after losing from Arsenal on FA Community Shield.

He is so insistent on this transfer request as he has witnessed what a scorer he is in the Premier League. The Tottenham president is making all kinds of excuses not to send Kane. If Kane wants to leave, there's no point in forcibly keeping him on the team. The same is possible for Mbappe. If he doesn't want to stay in Paris, they should allow the transfer of the player.

I think Arsenal signing a quality GK like Raya means that Arsenal is back to the big time as a massive club.
They don’t just get comfortable with being average. They go for excellence. And every single player who comes to Arsenal now knows that it’s survival of the fittest. I’m here not as a project player but as a player to make an impact and must earn my position.
Now I think the final piece of this big club puzzle is selling players and they can put that to bed too this window.

It is interesting that other premier league clubs want the signatur of Harry Maguire whom Manchester United are seeking to dispose of this summer. Maguire has been involved in blunders which on many occasions have cost the team dearly. Manchester United fans are obviously fed up and want him out of the club this summer. The next weeks will determine whether Westham will be able to wrap up a deal for Harry Kane before the window shuts down.

Nkunku injures too much and that is just the problem he has always had in his soccer career. Chelsea fans were already happy that they have confidence in Nkunku and what he will do for them this season since he was already scoring from the preseason, it is very disappointing that he will miss a lot of games including the very first Chelsea game of the season which is against Liverpool.

But this season, Arteta looks to have made sure that he will have options for when the challenges come. He brought players to the club that can play in different roles when needed.

Griezmann has signed a new deal with Atletico Madrid which is a permanent one this time. He has done the right thing for himself in my opinion. Because he really belongs there as he has had his best performances with Atletico Madrid in his career. Atletico Madrid have benefited from his skills very well so far also. Last season he was really impressive with many goals and assists.

However there are some links with Saudi teams recently. But it doesn't make sense to me that he signs for one of those teams right after signing a new deal with Atletico Madrid. I think those will stay as just rumours.

As far as I know Bayern Munich will think about what they can do about signing Kane after Tottenham's once again negative answer. But would there be another offer coming after that? I don't think so truthfully. Because they have already made a huge offer like 100 million euros despite his being a 30-year-old player right now.

Bayern Munich are really in a desperate need of a striker now. But they don't even know how much Tottenham chairman wants for Kane exactly. He is just resisting to keep him for another season. Bayern Munich could start looking for another striker from now on.

In as much as Bayern Munich seriously need a striker like Harry Kane, the English national team captain also needs a club like Bayern in other to crown his footballing career with trophies.
Reports has it that the player and club has reached personal agreements but has been hindered to finally sign the transfer papers by Tottenham Hotspur's club chairman who is yet to consent to the player's departure. I think Harry Kane can do better in forcing his way out of the club and it's best to do it now to save his career

Harry Kane has played with Tottenham for a very long time, of course he is one of the players who is loyal to his current team. But I am very unfortunate that Harry Kane has never won any titles with Tottenham even though this team is one of the good teams in the Premier League. Tottenham have failed in most of the competitions they have competed in, but Kane has always found it difficult to part ways with his team.

Bayern Munich came in and offered him a chance, but Tottenham seemed too keen to keep their star. Not sure how much longer Tottenham will be able to convince Kane to stay but I think Kane is desperate to win something to look back on in retirement. The Bundesliga isn't bad for him, of course.

How do you see yesterday's game Manchester United vs Bilbao, Yeah Harry Maguire made a mistake again until the opposing team could score a goal due to his blunder from Harry Maguire. 

There is news that Harry Maguire will soon go to West Ham with a 30M deal and this is still in contact, it seems that Erik Ten Hag is no longer satisfied with Harry Maguire with his behavior on the field which will continue to harm the team if there is no improvement from him.

Not only West Ham are interested but other Premier League teams are also looking at Harry Maguire, this will be very interesting!.

It looks like Madrid will make their final bid as the transfer window closes this summer, as it will put PSG in even more pressure. Even though it was a risk of not being able to get him, I don't think PSG had any other options at that time. Even though La Liga will start next week, the transfer window closes on 1 September.

Harry Kane is no longer on the Madrid list, and the leading position to get Kane signature is currently still a chance for Bayern Munich.
