I wonder how the BVB fans will take this.  He was one of the go to guys in Klopp's BVB and he left searching for greener pastures.  Now he's just some dispensable player from Bayern who's returning because Bayern has no need for him anymore.  I would really understand the fans if they won't be open to welcoming him back.

This forum is rich with info.  You just have to know how to use it right and be able to filter all the information you gathered.  There are a lot of shills and FUD in here so be careful.  But as you hang out here more and more, you'll be able to know intuitively who's a shill and who's FUD and everyone in between.  This forum is really one of a kind and it's one of the most engaging ones that I have been a member of.  Lot's of drama.

So does that mean Steemit is breaking through the mainstream?  Some of you may frown upon it but by hook and by crook Steemit looks to achieve what other altcoins have failed in.  Maybe they're finally on to something here.

That looks good.  You just gave me an idea.  What do you think of parlaying Holm and Barboza @ 1.93?  Those are two solid favorites in this card.  

Holm, in my opinion, will be more motivated than ever coming in this fight especially after that bad beat vs Tate.  Shevchenko has nothing on Holm except for when she goes for the clinch.  But we saw what happened when Rousey tried that strategy.  

Barboza is looking good, still progressing fight after fight and going for that title challenge.  He has a future ahead of him.  Melendez, one of my favorite fighters, what can I say?  It's so sad to see him fighting to make himself still relevant in the sport.  Coming out with two back to back losses and one year suspension plus a sticter USADA, I just can't see him win vs Barboza.  The odds are stacked against him.

So meaning in MotoGP luck is more of a factor than in F1?  If it is, then I think betting on MotoGP races would be more high variance which always good if you're a masochist gambler.

It's not really that you don't rate him.  I mean come one let's be fair.  He's good but not 100M British Pounds good.  Anything at 100M and over is reserved for the likes of Ronaldo and Messi.  Pogba isn't in that level.

True true...  And there was a second batch of younger players that Klopp played during the second half.  Loved the goal by the 16 year old by the way.  He's not bad that guy.  I hope he develops more.

I watched a pre season friendly of Wigan vs Liverpool.  It ended 0 - 2 for Liverpool.  They looked good with the ball but the defense needs a little work in tracking the ball.  Their finishing needs work too, that game could have ended 0 - 4 or 0 - 5.  Sadio Mane was ok, nothing negative to say but then nothing really positive either.  I also would like to see Danny Ings improve and start more games this season.

That made me laugh so hard.  It's really funny when the media hype up players and then they make these crazy and hilarious comparisons.  It's just like when they said Wilshere is the English Iniesta.  Hahaha.    It's entertaining though.

I would love to see this happen.  I know RVP is on ice as of late but him playing under Mark Hughes could be good for his game.

There are also talks that Atletico's president saying Diego Costa is close to being back to ATM.  Any of you know if this is true?  Who'll replace him at Chelsea?

I'm thinking of adding LBRY, Synereo and Steemit on the list soon.  I'm still watching how much daily trading volume they average in the market.  If it's decent enough, I'll add them.

Edit:

I would like to add that BTS (Bitshares) and FCT (Factom) still look good to buy in my opinion.  They seemed to hit their lows and are looking to start trending up now.

FCT

Just posting some videos.  Can't wait to watch the event.  Didn't realize it until now that this card is decent.

It's good because the DAO investors will get their money back.  But it's also bad because now it's stigmatized as this platform that rolled back the transaction in order to save the investors' money, in which those investors were mostly from the Ethereum Foundation.

I know it's technically not a roll back but that's what people would tend to think it is.

I don't think I mentioned anything about Liverpool becoming champions on a much more budgeted transfer window.  What I said was I thought Klopp would do what he did with Dortmund where he built a competent, better than average squad with less money.

I don't think Schweinsteiger is better than Carrick.  I don't know what exactly LVG was doing at United but their players were under performing when he was still manager. 

Gundongan signed with Man City, not United.  And Carrick plays deep in the midfield.  Gundongan is more of an attacking midfielder so it's not really a good comparison.

True.  But Steve Walsh, the person responsible for the successful acquisitions might be leaving Leicester and will be going to Everton to work with Ronald Koeman.  On the topic of spending less money but getting better results, I was hoping Liverpool would be that club under Klopp in his first summer transfer window with them.  But it isn't so with the Sadio Mane transfer.  Lol.

I didn't expect Schweinsteiger to be included in United's sell options.  Juan Mata for sure Mou will sell.  He didn't like him at Chelsea and there's no reason he'll be holding onto him at United.  Poor guy...  I hope he goes to a good club.

But wasn't he great with Simeone's counter attacking style at Atletico though?  When Conte said he will not apply a defensive strategy, what did he mean by this?  He'll go full out attacking style like Wenger or Pellegrini?

Diego Costa is staying right?  I think he's pacey and strong enough to get behind defenders quickly.  This is just my opinion but I think he'll fit right in with Conte's counter attacking style.

That's an unfair statement for the people who live in West London who breath, eat and live Chelsea.  Those people revolves around their club and are willing to fight for it no matter what.  Chelsea has real fans thru think and thin whatever may happen.
