Not just Bitcoin but also altcoins too, I am a gambler, I am into mostly Roulette and Slots but I have made much more money from altcoin investments between the 2022 bear market till now, and what I've made from gambling is not even close to half of what I've made from few altcoins so far, I think OP is right, if you can gamble with altcoins you will make more money than gambling but we all like having fun in different ways so I am in no way going to discourage anyone not to gamble, there is money in gambling too if you are lucky.



Investing in altcoins is considered a gamble, but investing in it also requires a lot of knowledge and experience, even more knowledge of investing in altcoins than bitcoin. So it can also be a barrier for gamblers because they are people who are not hard working and diligent in acquiring knowledge and taking the time to learn. But given what you've been through, it shows that investing in altcoins isn't as bad as many people are going viral, and I don't really hate altcoins either. To be fair, investing in altcoins today offers better returns than bitcoin, but many are denying it.

Dortmund management sold Sancho for a high price. They profited considerably. Now, if the Dortmund management can bring Sancho back into the team at a lower price, it will surely be a good deal for them. Sancho is quite talented. Although he performed well with Dortmund, he did not perform well with Manchester United. But I don't think Sancho will be bought by Dortmund management. Sancho is still a young player at only 23 years old. Many clubs will be interested in signing a young player like Sancho.
If these rumors are true and a deal is finally struck, then I would say Dortmund are smart in business and Manchester United are not smart in seeing Jadon Sancho potential.
The problem Sancho has had since arriving from Dortmund, in my opinion, lies solely in trust. I mean, this player from England hasn't got the good friends that he had when he strengthened Dortmund.
Bruno Fernandes, who became ten Hag's mainstay of attack, did not really provide good service for Sancho. This is very felt for Sancho's development at Manchester United.

I watched Jadon Sancho's performance. He is quite talented. He also played very well with Dortmund. And the important thing is that Jadon Sancho is still young. This player is only 23 years old. If Manchester United decides to sell Jadon Sancho, it is very likely that Jadon Sancho has a conflict with Ten Hag. Otherwise, Manchester United should not sell Jadon Sancho. If Jadon Sancho could adapt himself well to United's squad, he could have supported Manchester United for a long time. However, if Sancho has a conflict with the coach, it will not be right for Sancho to stay with Manchester United.

You are right. Maybe PSG has a lot of money. Yet they won't let an in-form talent like Mbappe leave for free. If Mbappe does not want to stay with PSG, is not interested in renewing the contract, then PSG management will sell Mbappe this season. However, Real Madrid are likely to want Mbappe on a free transfer next season. But the Madrid management is not stupid. They will not allow that. If Real Madrid aren't willing to spend big on Mbappe this season, we'll probably see Mbappe move to a Premier League team.
in the near future it seems that Mbappe will part ways with PSG due to several conflicts that are being discussed in recent days. I don't think this conflict is too serious, but I only have the view that PSG and Mbappe don't seem to be able to contribute together anymore because on the one hand, the heated conflict makes Mbappe feel uncomfortable there.
from this situation maybe other teams like Real Madrid will take advantage of this problem to be able to get Mbappe at a lower price or even for free for next year.

I think if Luis Enrique is the coach of PSG he will not want Mbappe in the team this season unless Mbappe renews his contract with PSG. Luis Enrique is an experienced coach. He will want to stabilize the PSG squad. He will definitely have a long-term plan with the PSG team. If Mbappe is only part of his plan for one season, PSG's performance will be unstable again next season after Mbappe leaves. Luis Enrique will have to completely re-organize his match plan and squad. Luis Enrique will not want to take such a risk. And this is why Mbappe is more likely to leave the team before the start of this season.

Dortmund started to have a strong interest in their old player Jadon Sancho. The Red Devils signed him for 85 million euros and his market value was 90 million euros when he first arrived there. However in time his value has been cut by half. Because he hasn't been as impressive as he was while playing for Dortmund.
If Dortmund sign him again for an amount around his current market value they would still be in a really nice profit. He was really much more productive at Dortmund and it looks like he can't adapt to the Premier League or Manchester United now. I think he should go back to Dortmund before he loses his value more.
I haven't heard about this, whether Sancho is being targeted by Borussia Dortmund again. But if that's the case, it's obviously a benefit for Dortmund, they sold him at a high price and they bought him back at a lower price, which of course is what they were hoping for. Although he may not be as good as when he played at Borussia Dortmund first, but his experience with Borussia Dortmund will be a trace of the possibility that he can play at his best level again. After all, Borussia Dortmund is a club that is very good at finding the strengths of a player so that they can maximize them.

In fact PSG have no problem with money. If I was in their place I wouldn't just make any effort to sell Mbappe. It seems like they are going to do the same also. I mean that they just said that they were open for offers to sign him from any team as long as he doesn't intend to extend his contract. This is enough action to take for PSG.
If no team make an offer like 200 million euros for his transfer fee then PSG would just continue with Mbappe for one last season. I think that most probably he would sign a contract with a team in January and that team would be Real Madrid. But still PSG can go for one last try for the Champions League title while they have Mbappe in the squad.
Luis Enrique is here also in the end so who knows what is waiting for us next season.  Smiley
Even if they have plenty of money, they won't let a star like Mbappe walk for nothing. They have indicated that they will consider offers, but have set a minimum price of 100 million pounds. What if no club is willing to pay what they're asking? Mbappe remains with PSG, but he will be a free agent once his contract is up. A sword with two edges. The speculation is that he will join Real Madrid next season. But with Luis Enrique in the picture, anything is possible.

Regardless of what they want to do in the next season for Bayern Munic and Hire Harry Kane, I think they are going to have a good performance in the transfer market and since their main competitor, Dortmund lost their young and key player, in the next season Bayern Munich can even have easier season and again we are going to see another season in which Bayern Munich winning the league without competitors.
That's mostly because of the better and more investments they can have for their team while other teams don't have this good financial situation.  

Bayern Munich won't have much trouble winning the Bundesliga. Because Bayern Munich is still the strongest team in the Bundesliga. Although the Dortmund team can perform well at times, their performances are not consistent. The party cannot maintain consistency. This is why they could not win the title in the last season. If the Bayern Munich management is able to take Harry Kane into the team, then their squad will become stronger. Last season we saw some weakness in Munich's attack. With experienced talent like Harry Kane, Munich's attack will be strengthened. The team will be able to maintain dominance in both the Champions League and Bundesliga.

Finally, England is looking very strong in this match and now there should be no excuse with them for not winning this won. They scored 93 for 3 wickets down but only need 158 more runs to register their first win in this match.
The opener Zak Crawley played well and made the one end safe while wickets kept falling at other end. Now he is also out when England is at the score of 93 but i am sure that remaining English batsmen would achieve this target and there will be no more drama again in this test match.
In this Test series, there is a good chance for England to keep the series alive, as Australia has already won two Tests and apart from today's Test there will be two more Tests where England have a good chance to level the series. It can be assumed that England can win today's match because if they form a big partnership then scoring 132 runs in today's match will not be very challenging for England. As Harry Brook and Joe Root have put together a 26-run partnership and they will want to turn this partnership into bigger runs. However, expect England to bounce back in their series and win today's match as England have learned a lot from their past mistakes which are going to result in this Test match.

England's chances of winning this match are slightly higher. But it cannot be said for sure that England will win. England still needs 99 runs to win. England collected 153 runs losing 4 wickets. Zak Crawley was dismissed for 44 runs. Harry Brooks and Ben Stokes are now batting. Harry Brooks remains unbeaten with 40 runs. Ben Stokes is in good form. England's team will win if Ben Stokes performs a bit better in today's match. I am optimistic about England's victory in this match. But if Stokes does not play well, there is a possibility of defeat for England. Because no other England batsman's performance is regular now except Stokes.

Sri Lanka haven't lost any of the matches in the World Cup Qualifier. With its previous win Netherlands is highly confident to chase targets. However to play against experienced teams is still a struggle. The score of 233 runs seems a reachable target, but Sri Lanka is getting better in its bowling order. Particularly the spinners were performing good, today the fast bowlers have been giving good break from the beginning. Already Madushanka have taken 3 wickets as Netherlands have lost 4 wickets scoring 39 runs in 8 overs.

In both matches against the Netherlands, we saw some poor batting from the Sri Lankan batsmen. In the previous match, Sri Lanka's collection was 213 runs. And today they managed to collect 233 runs. But the Sri Lankan bowlers bowled well in both these matches. Netherlands batsmen are not able to survive at the crease against Sri Lanka's experienced bowlers. The Netherlands team lost 5 wickets to collect only 41 runs. However, the match is not important for either team. Because they have already qualified for the World Cup. Even so, I don't think the Netherlands will bat that badly. Collecting 100 runs is now a tough task for the Netherlands.

This is an important season for Xavi. He has finally made a good progress with Barcelona and won the La Liga title. This is a great point to start from. However it isn't enough to be an indispensable manager for Barcelona. He will need to maintain this success in the league first of all. Because their rivalry with Real Madrid in the league is really important.
Meanwhile they need to focus on the Champions League more this time. The previous season didn't end up well for them here at all. It has been the same for two seasons actually. Xavi will be expected to make improvement without excuses. If we see the same poor effort from them then Xavi's seat might also start to be under threat slowly in case they don't continue to win La Liga titles on one hand.
To be honest, I'm not satisfied with Xavi's performance last season. because, there were a number of matches that they played with messy performances. in fact, I've said it in many posts. however, there is no excuse for Xavi this season. at least, by bringing in some newcomers. should be, Barcelona is strong when compared to last season. now, they have a fairly competitive squad from both the reserve players and the main starting eleven. even though Barcelona actually brought them on a free agent status, Barcelona's newcomers can really be relied on with their experience. Supposedly, Xavi can be more creative with the players he has now. be it from a system, pattern, or strategy.
Anyway, even though they are not the favorite team in the Champions League. but for sure, the Barcelona squad can perform better next season..and One thing I appreciate about Xavi is that he is very good at lobbying for the players he wants to bring in. this season, thanks to Xavi, Gundohan and Inigo Martinez, willing to play for Barcelona, ​​and one young striker who will arrive in the 2024 winter transfer market. well, as a supporter, I can't wait to see how Barcelona plays game by game.
However, I am personally quite satisfied with Barcelona's performance last season, especially in La Liga, so Xavi is still worth keeping. But indeed, when it comes to Barcelona's performance in the Champions League and in the Europa League the fact is that Xavi is still a big failure there, so Xavi should be able to work even better next season for La Liga and also in the Champions League. Because after all, it would be useless for Barcelona to get experienced players, because they still cannot provide good results in the Champions League. Because yes, even if he doesn't reach the final, at least Xavi can take Barcelona to the quarter-finals or maybe the semi-finals and that's better, of course.

I don't think Xavi failed in the Champions League and Europa League. Xavi made no effort to do well in the Champions League and Europa League. We have seen Barcelona underperform in the last few seasons. Xavi's main goal this season was to stabilize this team. And bring consistency in performance. And of course, winning the La Liga title. And so Xavi's main and only goal was to maintain consistency in La Liga. The team might not have been able to maintain dominance in La League if they were to focus on both La Liga and the Champions League.
The Barcelona team is now very stable. And Xavi continues to try to strengthen the team. Xavi will likely look to continue his good form in both the Champions League and La Liga next season.

England need to stop Australia from reaching 250 or higher since it would prove to be a great target especially when Cummins, Starc etc are bowling so well recently. Good to see Wood claiming wickets as expected.
They need to focus on removing the tail-enders quickly instead of focusing on Head who is probably playing a game-changing innings here.
Murphy just departed as I was typing this post. He along with Head stitched together a valuable partnership when Australia were 170/8 at one point. 1 wicket remaining.
Aussies have given a target of 251 runs to win. With 5 overs left in today's play England will definitely try not lose any wicket.  Credit goes to Travis Head for rescuing Australia as rest of the batting failed to score runs today. The target is not big and England can chase it provided they don't commit any silly mistake. Hope England batsmen will play there part and will not leave everything for Ben.

Australia failed to play well in the second innings. Our estimate was that they would deliver over 300 targets. But in the second innings, Australia's batsmen collected only 224 runs. And they managed to set a target of 251 runs. I don't think it will be enough to win if England's batsmen bat responsibly. But since England's batsmen are also not in good form, the match will definitely be competitive. At the end of the third day, England collected 27 runs. England did not lose any wickets. But we don't know how England will start tomorrow. It is not surprising that England faced a batting disaster like Australia.

Bangladesh team made a good comeback but if it was earlier then the match would have been easier for them. Afganistan first wicket fell at 256 runs and then one by one come and go. The remaining 8 wickets fell in just 78 runs. After the wickets of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran fell, neither got expected score. If the players of Bangladesh team could have taken the first wicket earlier then the direction of this match could have changed. Anyway, Tamim is not in the Bangladesh team, so there is some weakness in batting. However, there is still no certainty about the victory of this match who is going to win today's match.

Bangladesh bowled brilliantly in the last 12/13 overs. And managed to take 9 wickets from Afghanistan. This is why Afghanistan ended their innings on 331 runs. The way Afghanistan was batting, there was a possibility of giving a target of more than 380 in this match. However, even though the target was 332 runs, the Bangladeshi batsmen batted very badly as usual. In the first match, Bangladesh scored only 169 runs, and in today's match, they scored 189 runs. Bangladesh was defeated by a huge margin of 142 runs. Bangladesh performed well in the last few ODI series. Bangladesh's sudden deterioration against Afghanistan was not expected.

Bangladesh VS Afghanistan

Bangladesh may not win the ODI series against Afghanistan. After winning the toss, Bangladesh captain Liton Das decided to field. But the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers is very bad today. They could not take any wickets even in 35 overs. At the end of 35 overs, Afghanistan collected 242 runs. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz remained unbeaten with 132 runs and Ibrahim Zadran 78 runs. And if they continue to bat like this, Afghanistan will give a target of more than 370 today. It is very unlikely that the Bangladesh team will win by batting on such a big target.
There is no way Bangladesh can win against Afghanistan today, as they will take a target of 400 runs as Afghanistan's opening pair are scoring runs at a fast pace. As Afghanistan's batting at familiar venues and at home in Bangladesh, it looks like Afghanistan are on the field today to win the series. As Afghanistan's opening pair has already made a partnership of 250 runs. Rahmatullah Gurbaz (145) and Ibrahim Zadran (79) remain unbeaten. If Bangladesh cannot break this pair then it can be assumed for sure that they will score 400 runs and Bangladesh bowling department has failed.

Edited
Breakthrough by Shakib.
Rahmatullah (145 )lbw by Shakib

Afghanistan lost two wickets in a row. After Rahamanullah Gurbaz got out after scoring 145 runs, Rahmat Shah returned to the fold with just 2 runs. But Ibrahim Zadran is still at the crease with 83 runs. The team managed to collect 263 runs in 38 overs. Afghanistan will collect at least 80-100 more runs in 72 balls. And collecting more than that is not surprising. The target will be more than 350. But perhaps Afghanistan will not be able to collect 400 runs. It is much more difficult to win by batting at a target of 350 runs on such a pitch. The Bangladesh team is probably going to lose the series due to defeat in the first two matches.

Manuel Neuer will certainly be in the goal at Bayern Munich in the next season. So the question is, what will happen to Yann Sommer? There are now reports that Inter Milan have started talks with Sommer. Manchester United are said to be interested in the Inter Milan goalkeeper Onana. Should Onana move to Manchester, it would be a good opportunity for Sommer.

Bayern Munich now has 4 goalkeepers. As Manuel Neuer will be Munich's main goalkeeper. So maybe Yann Sommer could leave Bayern Munich. Manchester United are rumored to be trying to sign Onana, as their goalkeeper David de Gea is no longer with United. And so we will probably see Sommer in the jersey of Inter Milan. After losing Onana, Inter Milan will certainly be looking for an experienced goalkeeper. Yann Sommer would be a good choice for Inter Milan.

Every club is preparing to perform well next season and not only the clubs which you mentioned, dont be surprise if you see clubs that didn't perform well last season performing well next season, from the way things are going, no club should be underestimated. But i still have confidence that Manchester city is going to perform well next season, pep Guardiola is a experienced coach and he is doing everything possible to keep Manchester city in line.
I dont really know how Chelsea's performance will be next season, getting a new coach and players, it wont really be easy for them, so currently i cant predict how their performance will be, but lets just hope they perform better next season.
In the Premier League it will be even more competitive, I believe other teams will compete strictly including the several teams mentioned, Liverpool will also not make any more mistakes like in the previous season.
Too much optimism on Manchester City, I know it's the favorite team but I think other teams will definitely match their game and even beat it.
A normal first season will be more difficult because Pochettino has to understand the old style of play, but Pochettino always has tactics and that is his plan to turn Chelsea top of the table again in the coming season.

I think this is the season in which the other teams are going to be strong together to actually beat Manchester City to the English Premier League title. At the same time, Manchester City might also actually be interested to win in the Champions League instead of the Premier League competition. I think if they find it really hard in the English Premier League, they might actually concentrate on the Champions League. The next season of the Premier League is certainly going to be hard.

Liverpool is getting dirty who is determined to bring better results and make up for the mistake of last season.
Arsenal is obviously improving and also as the runners-up, will try to win the English Premier League.
Manchester United is also improving quite well.
Let's see if Chelsea and Tottenham game also compete at the highest level as well.

Previously, did your mother demand that you always get good scores in a math test? If not, why should you be afraid. Excessive fear will make you more trapped in nightmares, you will find it difficult to be creative if you cannot get rid of fear. Regarding the money you have to take home depending on your job, normally in one line of work you can bring home $10 or $15 each day. Don't be too pressured to bring home $20 because you have to work overtime to get more benefits.
Remember, Money can be found, health cannot be bought. Your health is more important than having to make more money to take home.
Well I agree with you. it seems OP is always depressed and doesn't prioritize his own situation. I wish OP could be more open with his family in all situations. And I think they'll understand with every situation the OP is in. And I think what happened to OP may be caused by trauma in childhood that can be embedded into adulthood. That is when parents always demand that their children always get perfect scores. i have a friend who has parents like that. and my friend sometimes looks depressed with his life at that time. But now he is already successful.

I don't think he was influenced by his childhood, maybe he was in a situation where he was forced to have a lot of money that he didn't explicitly tell us about. We all know that health is important and we shouldn't overwork, but it depends on our circumstances. If you need money for surgery for your child or loved one, you have to do more and will not dare to go home without enough money, which is normal. Can you sleep when your child's life or death depends on you? I believe the knitting OP is in such a predicament.
You are absolutely right. I forgot and have no thought until the possibility of the problem. Yes, a situation like that might also happen. but I hope the OP is not in such a situation. I hope he is not in a painful enough situation like that. but thanks guys for letting me see things from a perspective that I didn't think about before.

The OP didn't speak clearly about his situation and misled many people. It can be said that I have had the same difficulty as him when not being able to earn enough money to provide for the family's main meal and coming home after a day of work is a terrible thing. If you have been in that situation, you will understand when you come home from work and see your children standing at the door waiting for their father, but then you will disappoint them after that. As a father, it is an indescribable torment. But luckily, my life has improved a lot now, and I have almost everything I need.

[...]
But in this season I think they are going to go for all. Because they are the winner of the Champions League and also the English Premier League as well. They will certainly try their best to defend. And I am not sure if they are going to defend both of the titles successfully. But I am confident that they will be able to win at least one.
They have won PL 5 times in last 6 seasons so it's not a big task for them. They right now will sure target to win CL again because that is something that they haven't won until last season and how crazy will it be to start winning CL on a consecutive run. PL is easy for them as it needs a consistent run but since CL has knockout stages, it makes things much more difficult so for City it will be a real challenge this season. I am also not confident if they will win it but from my view I think they really have a good squad and will definitely go deep into the knockout stages of CL again this upcoming season.
Well, I agree that going for the Champions League makes a lot more sense compared to going for the English Premier League title. But the thing is the season has not started and of course, at this moment they are going to have the mentality to go for everything. Eventually, all you know is which way they are going to concentrate. If they are behind too much in terms of points in the English Premier League. They are obviously not going to watch till the English Premier League anymore and put all their strength to win the Champions League and vice versa. If it is possible for them to actually win both the trophies. But the competition is going to be harder compared to the last season.


snip
Guardiola always sets the highest goals for the season, and of course will always give priority to the most prestigious tournaments, such as the Champions League and the Premier League. Cup matches can often be played by players who do not have a permanent place in the first team. Whether it will be easier or harder for them, I don’t know, last season they were opposed by Arsenal, before that by Liverpool, the applicants are changing, but despite this, City emerges victorious from these confrontations.
I think we can agree that the other teams are not playing very well and also not being consistent enough to give Manchester City proper competition. Otherwise, Manchester City wouldn't have won the English Premier League easily. It wasn't easy anyway, to be honest. But the results in the end would have been different.

It looks like the Mourinho era continues for Roma. As you know there were some rumours like PSG could make an offer to him. Mourinho even talked to the board and said that he would inform them about it right away. But he was just among the candidates for PSG of course. In the end we have seen PSG signing a 2-year deal with Luis Enrique. After that a Saudi Arabian team made an enormous offer to Mourinho - 120 million euros for 2 years. But he turned it down as well.

That offer is really unbelievable but it looks like Mourinho is still hungry for success in European football. He still wants to be a part of Roma project now.

Roma played very well in the last two seasons under Mourinho. I would say Mourinho is quite successful with the Roma team. If PSG wanted Mourinho to coach their club, we might have seen Mourinho in Paris. But PSG chose Enrique as the coach of the team. And so Mourinho is more likely to be seen as the coach of Roma in the next season as well. Mourinho could have made the Roma team stronger if the Roma management had provided Mourinho with enough funds to buy players. But since Roma management won't spend much money, I don't think Roma will perform outstanding next season. Roma's performance will be average.

Did negotiations with Zidane fail or did he turn down an offer before they could even send him one? I think he never really showed any interest in becoming the coach of PSG.
I believe that no negotiation with Zidane at all as he does not want to manage another club while still waiting for his chance with France. He got opportunities to manage PSG but never shown that he wants to take it.
I am not sure if he is really waiting for France because that is still at least three years from now and if the right club had asked him for an engagement I think he would have decided to go for it, but PSG is not one of the clubs that he likes very much. He can do whatever he wants of course, but to me it is more likely that it wasn't the right circumstances and probably not the right offer. But I think it would be good if he returns soon as his presence is good for the soccer world in general. He is one of those characters that contribute to soccer in many different ways.
As far as I know Zidane had received an offer to coach PSG but yes, Zidane turned it down so with this refusal it seems that PSG also did not make continuous efforts to get Zidane. But yes, I think the target of being able to recruit Zidane may have been forgotten at this moment because after all, PSG has also succeeded in recruiting Luis Enrique, of course Luis Enrique also has good qualities in building a team with a star squad.
Even the news about this happened several times and not only this season but also last season there was also the same news saying Zidane wanted PSG but because there were several things he could not become a coach for PSG.
Now PSG has Enrique and of course this can be something that can actually lift because when compared to Poche and Galtier before, Enrique has more experience when coaching at big clubs.
On the other hand, PSG's current condition and the strength of the players they have can also be an advantage for Enrique where he can adapt the results he met at Barcelona because he saw the way they attacked and with the strength of these players it can still be but indeed in this case there must be more proof from Enrique. Hopefully this will go well and PSG does not always change its coach after the season ends.
I'm not sure that a change of coach will have any effect on PSG. Every year they top the domestic league and that's understandable because they have no serious competition and have a stellar squad of players. But in the Champions League they constantly fail. I can't speculate what might be wrong with the club, but it seems to me that the coach doesn't play a major role in this situation.
A different situation could have happen if news like Zinedine Zidane, which has long been linked with Paris Saint Germain, could be realize by the club. Zinedine Zidane became one of the successful coaches in the Champions League competition. he's the right choice if Paris Saint Germain really target the UCL
But for the current PSG coach Luis Enrique also has statistics that are not inferior, Enrique was record to have successfully led Barcelona to win the Champions League trophy and the UEFA Super Cup in the 2014-15 season.

Zinedine Zidane wants to work independently. But with PSG he probably couldn't work independently. We have seen this in the past. This is why PSG management cannot get an experienced coach like Zinedine Zidane. However, Luis Enrique is very experienced. He has been able to stabilize Spain's young dependent team. Enrique also has fond memories with Barcelona. PSG should let Luis Enrique operate freely. Otherwise, PSG's situation will not improve much.

It looks like Barcelona still has not gotten any other new players besides recruiting Gundogan from Manchester City and Inigo Martinez from Bilbao. A little information, that the two players were obtained on a free transfer. In this slow way, i wonder if it means Barcelona are downsizing, so that it doesn't have a negative impact on their finances as well. Because after all, Barcelona still have to recover their finances or at least, make their management clean and healthier again. Because yes, although Barcelona did not recruit many players in this transfer market, but i think Barcelona's squad is also fairly good for next season.
It looks like Barcelona is making savings in recruiting new players in this transfer market. Inigo Martinez and Ikay Gundogan are proof that they are reducing the Club's spending. At least they only need to spend money on players' salaries but not to sign new players. My prediction is that next season they will still be the favorites for the championship under the cool hands of coach Xavi.

Two senior players Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba have been officially released by Barca and there are seven players who have returned from loan periods. It looks like they are trying to improve the club's finances and no longer have problems with regulations in La Liga for next season.

I genuinely think that Barcelona will be making the right decision if they do not make anything transfer at this moment. Just play with the players that they have available right now, and sell those players who are not needed at the moment. That is going to be the best financial decision for Barcelona to take right now.

If Barcelona try to bring in a player who is going to cost a lot of money right now, they will be in financial problems again. At the same time, they will find it hard to actually find a really good place for the player. I will say that use the players who have come back from loan and also use the players that are available right now. Also, if possible, bring players on loan and try to not spend too much for a player. They should not spend if they don't have to.
