The cheap price for a player is of course also influenced by the quality and way he played in the old team, so no one can deny this. Because usually when a player has very good quality and is reluctant to be let go by his old team, of course the offers that come from other teams who want to buy him can also be bigger as long as he is still healthy enough and still young enough in terms of age.
The quality and price of a player has got a whole lot to do with his performance so far at a team through the season or for as long as he has stayed in the team so it's usual that these players are rated and priced by their performance so far which could entails possible good potential in such players.

The number of goals scored I'm a number nof matches followed by assist he's made so far and speed all these co tributes to the price of such players. Sometimes their present team do offer to increase their wage and pay them them much higher than others may want to offer there by making them priceless and not affordable to other teams who are trying to come bid for them and in some cases these teams further raise their price especially if their is a position they feel crucial for such player to come occupy .

Maybe if Mourinho was still there, Roma would be favorites in this match. Even with the same team, De Rossi might face a little difficulty in making the right strategy with his current squad. It's not easy for a new team coach and they have to continue halfway through the season. we can see whether Rome will rise or decline. What is clear is that this will be a criticism of the new coach.
Even if De Rossi can't get Roma through to the next round of the Europa League, I think he should still be given a chance for the new season. but it depends on how much change he will show in the team.
Mourinho wasn't doing any better than he should have been and that prompted his sack so I don't think he would have done any better now, he had all the time but wasn't really efficient with it,  although I know he's a world class coach and has got the reputation to seeing him as outstanding but then it turned out he hasn't been at he's best recently.

Much shouldn't be expected of Rossi especially as it ha to do with the Europa league because he's got to short a time for it and it's something he didn't start so it's literally he's first trial with Roma this season at the Europa but then if he's able to get pass this stage then he should be given an accolade for it's laudable. With Mourinho they would have done better at the Europa because it was obvious he prioritized the Europa so well and would have done all he could to get the trophy by the end of the season.

I think Joselu is the right striker at the moment even though he is not the main striker who is Ancelotti's priority in compiling the starting XI. And I admit that Don Carlo is a typical coach who is very good at exploring the potential of his players. I feel confident that Joselu will be a mainstay for the coach if he is able to maintain his performance. However, I agree that Joselu does not deserve to be on the same level as Benzema.
Most persons fail to understand that no two players are the same and so there never can be a perfect or exact same replacement, it's either the replacement is much better than the replaced player or is worse but then even the worse fits in with time which is like one of the biggest factor to always put to consideration.

Joselu replacing Benzema is never a bad idea, I believe he will do well or even fit in much better but that will means taking some little time, he's debut wasn't very impressive but it still didn't undermined his potential and I trust ancelotti to be able to fix him right by subsequent games,  with time joselu will improve much better and even if he doesn't happen to be a perfect replacement but he sure will fit in with time most definitely and I'm sure he coach are confident in the fact that he's definitely going to get better and deliver as expected of him.

I agree and of course they should be granted some time as new coaches when they come to the team and their main task is to do some changes to improve the team. But in the soccer business it is always the same. The reason why they fired Mourinho and now got De Rossi is because they want results fast. Otherwise they could have waited to change the coaches until the end of the season. I think this is the message they wanted to convey to De Rossi. They give him the chance now because they want results now.
It's very true that these new coaches needs some time as they are New to their team and will need the time to settle and get to know the team well enough to be able to know which tactical approach will best fit the team and that which works best for their team but coming in at the beginning of the season is usually challenging because the expectations are high already.

Mid season come with high expectations form coaches because boys usually expected of them to make up for the mistakes of previous coaches and see what they can do about the situation and making sure to fix the team and getting the desired results the fans and the management of the team requires of them. It's very challenging for most of these Coaches and they may have little to almost no time to fix all these before the end of the season.and this is the exact challenge Rossi is facing trying to make up for Mourinho's mistakes.

Manchester City and Liverpool both are a strong competitors of each othethis. Although Man City is 5 points behind Liverpool, it is not a big gap. Man City can overtake Liverpool anytime but it will be a long process  If they win 2 matches more than Liverpool, man city can overtake them and occupy the 1st position in the points table. There is no guarantee of how many matches Man City will have to wait for this. However, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal are ready to win this year's Premier League
It may appear like five points isn't such a big gap until Liverpool wins again another match and are ahead of Manchester city with more points or they can be able to maintain this gap long enough to the end of the season, five points means Manchester city winning two straight game while Liverpool losses two straight at same time.

It's very much unlikely that such will happen in such a sequence so most likely it is that Liverpool in their current form If not affected by uncertainties from injuries and other unforeseen circumstances then they are very likely to maintain their position, moreover their star player is back from AFCON although isn't certain yet about when he will be playing yet for Liverpool but once he's back on pitch then Manchester city will obviously have a fierce battle to fight sooner

Retaining titles can only be achievable to the elite teams, they have 50/50 probabilities of winning good race without struggling like other random mediocre teams. Winning the title back to back will seems easy for them because they've fall and risen to incredible form. Pep Guardiola presence and stellar performance of the team sends a direct message to their opponents, they should be ready to face the outcomes because they're ever ready to fight to the last end. Manchester City can reclaimed the UCL title this season, they don't need any other thing just consistent performance, it's a straight fight for the team.
Other mediocre teams only win league titles less frequently and if they do it's just once in awhile so it's very likely they will lack that ability to maintain such record of getting it in a roll , a time or two luck is very possible, it difficult to maintain such records in a roll with mediocre teams because they lack the consistency and strength to do such.

A typical example is in the french league a season a go PSG the elite failed to win the league and the winners then can't retain the title again. Manchester city have the ability to defend a title because they are an elite team and with them it's something they have done so the experience to be able to repeat it again and this season if not for Liverpool it's very likely they will be winning the premier league title for the second time in a roll but then let's hope Liverpool doesn't stop them just yet because Liverpool is doing so well in a good for and Salah is back to training already.

Finally, Joselu did prove that Real Madrid had made the right transfer by signing him, who is expected to fill the void after Benzema left. Unfortunately it took half a season until we could see Joselu play like now. At the start of the season it was Bellingham who got the spotlight. Though Bellingham is only an attacking midfielder but his productivity beats Joselu. but now maybe it's time for Joselu to be able to make Real Madrid fans proud.
Joselu's performance yesterday wasn't really impressive,.it  was rather an average performance which I don't consider thrilling enough to get to win the trust of the fans just already but I wouldn't want to make conclusive judgement already because I'm very much aware of the fact that he's still got more games to prove his worth.

Filling up for Benzema doesn't really look bad and soon we will get to know better if he stands fit enough or just less of what was taught of him. I wouldn't want to be making a comparison between Bellingham and joselu already because they are both playing in different positions and will definitely get the spot light non if their performance I'm their respective position drags the needed attention as it should be, theya re both good players in their various positions and will definitely not do any less at Madrid.

At this point I can say Manchester city is fully ready and so should other teams get ready for brutality because the current squad is super charged and complete such that I'm expecting not less than two goals from each match they play, Liverpool should aswell be on the watch as with the slightest mistake they may lose they position at the table top.

I'm really excited with the current complete squad of Manchester city because no only are going to get winnings from them but I'm watching out for good and entertaining football because having haland and Kevin de bruyne at the front means good combination for creative and a opportunities for goal and doku aswell at the side running with the ball from the middle to the opponent eighteen yard box for haland and Kevin de bruyne to do the finishing touches, I can't wait to see the next fixture of Manchester city against Everton.

Even in that kind of setup, doing any other activities should not be applied, especially gambling. Gambling is not an activity for you to do multitasking. It requires your focus and probably a few hours to finish gambling. All those hours spent gambling will be wasted instead of doing your tasks on your job.
Multi tasking while gambling is very much possible but it won't be productive enough, but then it's dependent on the kind of gambler or kind of game on which you are gambling, if you are gambling in games that requires you monitoring them to the end such as slot or roulette then you may need all your attention focused on it.

Gambling on sports game may not require all of much attention, you may just have to make your picks and place a stake on them and wait till after the game before you check on the results of the game especially with football, basketball and other sports games. But it's very possible it could turn out distraction to you because at the point when the games are on going if you are still at  work you may be tempted to check the progress of the game and know if it's in your favor or not. It's very possible to multitask while gambling but it's not a responsible way of gambling as it's counterproductive.

I don't agree if gambling is equated with altcoin investment. because altcoins still have clear programs and good management. different from gambling which only relies on the luck factor.
Or is it possible that the altcoin investment you mean here is investing in memecoin?
When you talk about Altcoins, usually Bitcoin excluded and other included. The instability of most altcoins especially memecoins can be likened to gambling except you are a short term investor who takes profit in a very short period of time because these meme coins generate profit almost immediately and does same with losses

Except for a few most altcoins project are not firm enough to invest your full trust in them because they will at some point not move the way you may expected it. The instability associated with a few altcoins is the reason it's likened to gambling because some of the projects behind omw of these coins are not solid enough and can at anytime end without prior notice and that's almost exactly how it is with gambling too it may not be really wrong to see investing in Altcoins as gambling because it's only gambling that really does shuch short time with investment and profit is seen almost immediately.

Bundesliga is a competitive league, watching the performance of these teams sliding apart and some of them getting themselves together portrays how everything plays out. Injuries have turn out to be a very big problem for Bayern Munich, a  very tough decision for Thomas Tuchel to make because if he doesn't make the right decision, everything will definitely fall out of line for the team. Bayern Munich is an elite team and they have the possible tendency of meeting up the requirements of the team's level. Injuries affecting the club but Bayern Munich still stand strong enough to hold breath and deliver the club.
Injuries is something almost inevitable when it comes to football, so when a team is suffering injury, it's not abnormal or out of place but an almost very normal occurance that's common amongst football teams at a time in the season, sometimes it's possible a team may not suffer injury but it still doesn't displace the fact that injuries do happen.

I even see injuries as time when Coach can exercise their skillfulness and opportunity to put their experience to work, the coach at this time with will be able to prove how less dependent his team can be on a player and how he would be able to manage the team well amidst such situations and still get the best out of them, Bayern Munich maybe having their own fair share and I'm expecting tuchel to deploy his wealth of experience and it will further show his àbility to manage the team even amidst crisis which is a quality of a world class coach.

Liverpool and Chelsea match really exciting with Liverpool delivering masterpiece performance and pressuring Chelsea consistently. They've had one goal for their stress. Game on, I hope Chelsea can respond accordingly, but their defensive play isn't giving much hope in that regard. This match has a lot of surprises to unfold, let's keep our fingers crossed. Enzo Fernandez its really frustrated this evening, he's already gotten a yellow card. I hope he doesn't land himself into more troubles in the future.
Liverpool is now two goals ahead and they are very much deserving of every goal they had scored so far, looking at the performance of Liverpool and compare to what Chelsea has been doing since you will agree that Liverpool has been the better side so far, I wasn't expecting much from Chelsea aswell .

Chelsea hasn't been in a consistent form since this season so I somehow expected that such form or performance they have in recent time is not enough to contend Liverpool and hope to get a win because Liverpool in in their very good form recently and have been performing brilliantly in both the premier league and Europa which happens to be the two  most challenging league they are playing this season, hopefully by the end of the second half, Liverpool will definitely have three points to add to that which they have already.

This decision was very wise for Klopp because perhaps he himself was also very aware that if he continued his career with Liverpool there would be results he didn't want in the future. So he chose to end his career with the Liverpool team when the team was getting good results like now so that he would really be remembered by the team as a very good coach and had brought more success to Liverpool when he coached Liverpool. So, the time is right for Klopp to end his career if he feels he no longer has enough ability to train players like he used to.
Your point is supporting the phrase "leave when the ovation is still high" because any moment thereafter will be filled with mostly criticism which may rather downplay on the coach's efforts and sometimes will not help with their entire performance thereafter so leaving when you still have a couple bad results may not be an honorable exit enough.

The memories Liverpool will have of klop will definitely be more of good memories because he has got the records to show for how much  he's achieved with the team, even until his departure, he's currently still aiming at winning both the Europa and the premier league to seal up his good record for all the time he did spent at Liverpool, he will be missed by the players, fans and even the management team, he was able to always make do with that which was given at every time to use to manage the team both to get players and to run other affairs of the team.

As long as Brest doesn't make more mistakes and concede ridiculous goals in the next few matches, of course Brest can be in third place in the standings quite comfortably even though the three teams you mentioned can continue to put pressure on Brest. Because Brest only needs to maintain its consistency to continue winning and also be able to continue to perform well in every match so that its position cannot be disturbed by Monaco, Lille and Reims.
Amongst the Three teams mentioned, Monaco looks like the most of threat to Brest Reims looks like the least, with a single win probably in their next game, Lile may be able to displace Monaco and become the major threat to Brest because this two teams are just two points apart and are of almost equal strength.

Brest so far have been able to really perform so we'll this season they are most likely securing a spot at the Champions league next season if they are able to finish at the position where they are currently. Next week's fixture for Brest is really going to be challenging and they really need to win or draw that game to still maintain stability bat their current position but Nice isn't a team that will make things easy for them,  they will have to make sure to have a solid defiance able to stop Nice defenders from netting goals to be ahead of them as that's the only way to staying safe enough to protect their position on the table although both team are looking forward to maintain their position too.

I don't think this is judging whether they are consistent or not because so far Aston Villa have succeeded in being in the top 4 at the top of the standings, which is quite a good achievement, and of course, when they lost the match yesterday, it was because the opponent they faced was Newcastle. As you can see, Aston Villa is not just silent against Newcastle; they have tried several ways because it seems that Aston Villa's ball control and accuracy are higher than those of Newcastle. Unfortunately, at that time, luck was not on Aston Villa's side.
Aston villa's consistency at the top four this season is worth commending because I observed that ever since they were able to climb to the top four they have been able to make sure they don't go below the fourth position on the table which means they can make nit to the UCL next season with some more consistency in that which they already have.

I actually expected Aston villa to have won that game yesterday but I didn't expect it to be an easy one for them because I'm very much aware of the fact that Newcastle isn't a weak opponent I their own capacity as they have so far this season been in a very good form too but then Aston villa appears as the favourite and had the home advantage aswell so I was hoping to see a win for Aston villa or a draw but it was sad they lost shamefully at home with a wide goal margin, they had a good performance tho but it wasn't good enough to get the odds in their favour but then they are still at the top four position.

From what has been seen this season, it is true that Arsenal is more solid than last season in terms of strength, but I also agree with what you say that Arsenal must be able to handle conceding ridiculous goals in every important match. And in the Champions League, all rounds must always be considered important by any team if they still have the desire to get the Champions League trophy this season so that the match is quite likely to be very competitive.
I agree with you that Arsenal do look solid this season but then they still don't possess the potential for the champions league if they are able to get pass the round of sixteen I personally will still doubt their ability to get to the quarter finals but then if they do it will be pretty much a good achievement in their side.

The pressure coming from Manchester city and Real Madrid is such that I don't see Arsenal been able to manage through the tournament that's if they get pass the quarter finals unto the semi finals and happen to meet either of Manchester city of Real Madrid. I know that the last time Manchester city met Arsenal in the premier league it was a tough one but they we had KDB absent but this time I'm sure the full squad will be on ground as guardiola will not be willing to risk anything at that stage of the league so he will most definitely go all in with the full squad having haland, doku and KDB.

Barcelona must win today's home match against Osasuna after a humiliating defeat against Villarreal. But Barcelona's performance today still fails to satisfy me.
Barcelona is a goal ahead but I'm still having doubts about the possibilities of Barcelona winning, I still feel it's very possible this game may end in a draw if Barcelona fails to get another goal before the end of the second half because osasuna is looking for every opportunity to a goal from this game .

Barcelona according to statics is in more possession and have more goal attempts than osasuna does, but in the first half Barcelona did performed like an average team and were struggling to get a goal against osasuna of which they ended the first half of the game without a single goal. I'm hoping Barcelona gets a second goal or probably ends this game with the current score line else they may not be able to win the game today it's most likely they will share point ls with osasuna if they are unable to get a second goal or maintain the current score line.

As long as they can win and get full points, it will always be profitable for the team because what a team like AS Roma is aiming for is victory in order to put itself in a better position. However, after the match is over, each coach must make a more in-depth evaluation in order to be able to play well in the next match because luck cannot always come to the same team in different matches. So playing well and winning will always be a priority for any team because it is much better than winning by playing badly.
The important thing for every game is the results especially when it means winning against your opponent, it doesn't really matter how well you did performed in the match what will give you the needed points and make you win any trophy is basically winning at the end of every match and I think Roma is good provided they are winning because that's what matters.

Playing badly only makes you luck dependent most times so I'm oder to be sure and have a better insight in to your expectations at the end of the game, then it's very important to play well but the most important is winning because at the end of the day the trophy will be given to the team that wom and not the team that played best. I don't support bad and poor performance but I don't see anything wrong with winning even with your poor performance because what matters the most is the results of the game .

The serious contenders for the league title are Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, these teams have proven themselves in all rounds. In the mid-season, Leverkussen remained unbeaten, they should be extremely careful because they will face more challenges in matches, perhaps we have Xabi Alonso in the picture, he's capable of hitting the primary goals for the team. A crucial moment for Bayer Leverkussen because they will strive their best to ensure they avoid injuries, ensuring they trigger stellar performance in matches.  Leverkussen will keep pushing for more elevated standards in the club.
Leverkusen still remains unbeaten across Europe in every of the leagues they are participating currently.theynare currently one of the favorite to win the league title this season, the competition in the bundesliga for the title this season currently seem to lay between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich current performance shows that they are very likely to get back to the top of the table and possibly win the bundesliga title again this season but then let's hope that Alonso isn't going to let this opportunity of becoming the champions this season get pass him but will make sure to utilize every good strategy and form to get the title this season, they have gone past the mid season already which means they have just few weeks to maintain their position at the top because that's the only advantage the can get over Munich as Munich is ahead of Leverkusen by goals so if the both end with same points Munich is definitely going to be the winners.

Nott'm Forest v Arsenal

Nott'm Forest — Turner; Montiel, Omobamidele, Murillo, Toffolo; Mangala, Danilo; Domínguez, Gibbs-White(C), Williams; Wood.

Arsenal — Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Zinchenko; Ødegaard(C), Rice, Smith Rowe; Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli.

Here is lineup between Nott'm Forest and Arsenal starting 11, can Arsenal continue with the massive goals or Nott'm Forest will put an end to it, let see if Arsenal can still maintain the third place in table, Nott'm Forest are really in good form now, can they do what they do to Manchester United, this match is going to be a tough one.
Nottingham playing at home doesn't look like enough advantage for them because since the kick off, Arsenal has dominated the whole game and Nottingham is yet to get a shot on target, although they are still at the first half and it's just past the 25th minutes, I'm hoping that at the end of the first half I should see a goal.

Arsenal with their performance so far should be able to win this game all things been equal. Except if there be a good reason probably due to uncertainties which they can't control, els by all circumstances Arsenal should win with little to no struggle but it's looking like Nottingham forest will be more on the defensive and Arsenal stays offensive. arsenal even before the kick off is the favourite I'm this game and it's so because it's believed arsenal is the stronger side even with their recent poor performance.
