Today most Surptising news is that The Colombian Jales Rodriguez will Join Bayern Munich on a 2 year loan deal with option to buy later on . Real Madrid will be payed €10 Million for the loan and €60 more if Bayern chose to buy so by this transfert don't think that we will see Sanchez heading to Bayern and this will speed things around for the Italuen Chammions as they are looking to land Doglas Costa i had a feeling that something will happend in these two days for James because He didn't want to join Real.Madrid on their tour and he wanted to.start his tour at his new club.
Great buy James Rodriguez for Bayern! Just 10M + maybe 50M in 2 years,it looks like a gift ... I think there were so many teams that would pay at least 60M immediately for him.

From how the transfers are currently going, what clubs do you think will be in the top 4 and in what order? The two clubs I see that are doing well in this tranfser window are Man City and Man United, tho the former has arguably less than spectacular buys compared to the latter.
My top 4 (as of today) are:
1. Man United 2. Man City 3. Hard decision between Liverpool/Chelsea/Spurs 4. Another hard decision between Arsenal/Everton/Chelsea/Spurs
And I also think it will be really close between Man United and City. It could go the other way around with City up top and United second.
I dont think MU will be on top with their recent transfer and I think Chelsea's last season squad is still better than the recent MU's squad. Need to watch some matches first to give prediction. True. I'm just talking out of my ass and more out of 'in theory' rather than in practice. It's fun to speculate on what would happen and why (or at least why I or you think so). Helps with my EPL cravings since it's still a month away before I can get a proper fix. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Instead of nitpicking, what say you? What's your top 4 as of today? This year the Premier League is really unpredictable! For me Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea have the same chance of winning the Premier League. Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal in the decisive moments lose too many points and therefore can hardly win the Premier League, but often come in the top 4 places! However, this year, Arsenal will be 100% focused on the Premier League because after 20 years he will not play the Champion's League. Everton may be the big surprise this year and will be fighting for qualifying in Champion's League. 1) Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City 2-4) Chelsea, Manc.United, Manc.City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Everton

What an amazing match.... Muller played great great match today and fully deserve this victory . I never thought that Muller will be the man who is going to eliminate Spanish from Wimbledon, despite his great form in last few months. At the end, king of clay is king of clay, grass doesn`t fit him so good this year. As I supposed, Cilic had an easy job today and Dimitrov couldn`t catch up with that Federers killer rhythm. Young Zverev need to grow just a bit more for big Grand Slam results...
I fully enjoyed this game and I think Muller did what A.Zverev couldn't do earlier in the day against Raonic the six seed. Nadal tried to mount a come back after going down two sets but I guess the strength of yesteryears have eluded him and he was finally broken 13-15, I wish he was in the quarter finals to spice up the competition but all the same there are good guys out there who will let us enjoy the rest of the competition. It was an epic match. You usually expect young guns to pull off such marathon matches against the stars. Muller is no kid, he is 34, but he still managed to stretch Nadal and finally beat him. These matches really liven up the initial rounds of Wimbledon. One of the best matches I have seen after AO final between Fed and Nadal . Nadal didn't play poor , Muller just stayed calm and served ultimately well . I feel sorry for Nadal ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I am his fan and its sad to see him go in 4th round . I am sure he comes back strong in US open . It was an amazing match, but I'm disappointed by Nadal, I was convinced that he would come at least in the semi-finals and try to return to the top spot in the ranking. At this point I think the winner will be one between Federer and Djokovic (probable semifinals at the bottom of the draw)

Here are the eighths-finals at Wimbledon:
A. Murray (Gbr) vs B. Paire (Fra) S. Querrey (Usa) vs K. Anderson (Rsa)
R. Nadal (Esp) vs G. Muller (Lux) R. Bautista (Esp) vs M. Cilic (Cro)
M. Raonic (Can) vs A. Zverev (Ger) R. Federer (Svi) vs G. Dimitrov (Bul)
D. Thiem (Aut) vs T. Berdych (Cze) A. Mannarino (Fra) vs N. Djokovic (Srb)
The most interesting and balanced matches are those between A.Zverev vs Raonic and Thiem vs Berdych. The fab4 (Murray, Federer, Nadal and Murray) should easily win their matches.
In the first week Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, A. Zverev, Cilic and Dimitrov did not even lose 1 set

Guys.. Who do you think will win the Wimbledon tennis tournament for men? I stick with Novak Djokovic, but he'll still need to be in good form in this tournament..
If you ask me then I would say these are the chances 40% Federer . 35% Nadal . 15% Djokovic . 10% Murray . Seeing the draw Murray, Nadal and Djokovic can easily get into the semifinals. Federer is the big favorite but has a complicated draw: M.Zverev next round, then Dimitrov, and quarter-finals 1 between Raonic and A.Zverev. Federer will come to me in the semi-finals but could waste so much energy. Djokovic, after a bad first part of the season, can incredibly win this Wimbledon!

If there are still doubts about the future of CR7 in Liga, Lionel Messi is close to renewing his contract with Barcelona until 2022 and will earn 30M per season! Its rescission clause will rise from 250M to 400M
Do you think Ronaldo at his current age if sold to another club, still be the most expensive signing in history? He talks about lionel messi rescission clause, sounds too crazy but i know why barcelona do that because if they do not put a high price there is a possibility lionel messi can go. Which club does not want messi. Messi and CR7 are the strongest players at the moment (and among the best ever). They are the most decisive players, and they are also icons and those who make more money with merchandising. Their price seems exaggerated, but currently their 2 are the top in football. Among all the exaggerated evaluations are those that amaze me less.

I think the AC Milan next season will be able to compete with Juventus, they still have not stopped bringing good players to fill their team even though it is not a star player but it all has the potential to become a star player.
I'm still going to doubt the performance of the AC Milan next season, I do not see a very significant affair on this transfer market but I think the AC Milan will slowly rise up and will probably finish in the big 5 or 6 at the end of the season. AC Milan this year has to get in the top 4 places to go directly to champion's league, can win the Serie A in 2 years. Then if the Ac Milan buy 2 top players like Aubameyang and James Rodriguez then can fight this year already!

Who will win the next Bundesliga 2017/18? Bayern @1.15 B. Dortmund@7.50Rb Leipzig @15.00 Scalke 04 @50.00 B.Leverkuss @50.00 Borussia Dortmund has a new coach and will most likely sell his top player Aubameyang. Rb Leipzig (last season's surprise) will also play in champion's league. It seems obvious that Bayern will also win next year easily, in fact its victory is quoted only 1.15 No doubt bayern will get it again, no one team can't stop them because bayern only lose less than 5 match in last couple year. it's show No resistance from other teams. Especially because Bayern becomes stronger each year, while the other teams weaken. Perhaps only the RB Leipzig with big investments in the coming years will be able to undermine Bayern

Lewis Hamilton will start 8th (penalized with five positions), so Vettel can earn so many points on his opponent. For Vettel it is a great opportunity. Hamilton try to get at least on the podium

Inter is very close to Borja Valero of Fiorentina for 6M and Dalbert of Nice for 30M. The dream of the new coach Spalletti is one between Radja Naingollan and Arturo Vidal.
Juventus is very close to buying Bernardeschi from Florentine for 40M and De Sciglio from Ac Milan for about 10M. Juventus is also looking for a midfielder, most likely one between Nzonzi and Matuidi.
Leicester is very close to Iheanacho of Manchester City's for 25M.

Bad defeat for Del Potro against Gulbis which is currently 589 of the ranking atp (his best ranking is 13th). Gulbis was quoted at 6.50! Djokovic then in the next round (who has lost only 5 games today) will find Gulbis.
Djokovic seems in good shape and will easily come in at least in the semifinals
Gulbis is a great grass court player . I went for +1.5 Gulbis and wow what a win , thanks to him . It will be very interesting to see how he plays against Djokovic but for sure Delpo v Djoker would have been much cooler. I have finally seen Djokovic in great shape and very focused. I think he will easily win 3-0 against Gulbis, instead against Del Potro would be a more balanced match because Del Potro paradoxically plays better against strong players. I'm almost certain that Djokovic will easily be in the semifinals without losing 1 set

After the big purchase of Lacazette for Arsenal, it seems almost certain that Manchester United will buy Romelu Lukaku for 85M from Everton! Mourinho, then definitively abandons Morata, but wants Gareth Bale.
Real Madrid can sell Gareth Bale for 100M and then buy Mpabbè
Chelsea,at this point, is likely to buy Belotti (Torino) for 100M.
