The gameplay of the Premier League and Serie A is completely different. Pogba was not successful in the Premier League. However, Manchester United's overall performance was not good. Their match strategy was weak. So we have not seen a better performance from Pogba. However, Pogba may not have a problem adapting to Juventus. And if the understanding between the players is good, we will see a stable performance from Pogba.
I agree that it is not similar that much is obvious. But the reality is that we shouldn't really expect Pogba to play any better or worse neither. Just because that's different, doesn't mean he will be different neither. He could play about the same, it's not about talent level, because there are 11 players on each team, meaning 22 players, even if one of them was in a better league doesn't mean that he will make a huge difference.

Even Ronaldo couldn't take Juventus to a championship on his last year. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't really be seeing Pogba any worse neither though, he would probably play as well as he could, but that's not going to change anything big time.

The problem is he doesn't want a pay cut at the moment, he agrees to move to any club but doesn't agree with a pay cut which makes it difficult for other clubs to want his services.
Indeed over the past few seasons I still feel that his performances have been below average which makes it difficult for Neymar and it's clear the higher ups there don't want this kind of performance at the wages and costs PSG have paid for him.
I don't think he wants to go to "any" team, because if that's the case, I am sure Newcastle would be willing to pay him what he wants, wouldn't they? I seriously do not know what their offer was, but they have way more than enough to get Neymar, in fact they have enough money to get 100 Neymars and it would still not make a single dent in the owners wallet, dude has like 300+ billion dollars networth give or take.

In the end, we are talking about something that would make a bit of a persona choice in that matter to make that stop, and Neymar probably wants to go to a team that would fight for something. Probably a team in UCL for example.

Mesut Özil had come to Fenerbahçe to sleep. His career actually ended long ago. He earned good money from Fenerbahçe and left. He gave nothing in return. The fans couldn't see a proper performance. It was a big disappointment.
The current rumor is that his new place will be Başakşehir, if this news is true, I will laugh a lot. I think he could have had such a bad career planning. Instead of making money and playing in good clubs, he chooses only money at the end of his career. He won't be remembered very well when he quits football.
Same happened to GS recently with Falcao as well, turkish teams needs to fix this and start to look for players that are hungry to prove themselves and not get players that already proved themselves and have nothing else to prove. If you get Mesut Ozil when he is 33 years old and haven't played meaningful minutes for many years, then you are agreeing that you are getting a player for just the name.

I do not know how much money they made from the jersey sales but considering the currency rate, probably not enough. They even requested fans to send SMS to make the team some money to get Mesut. Just get some 22 year old kid in championship or some second division of a big league, trying to prove himself and use turkish teams as a stepping stone, that kid will play with 100% and hope that some big european club will notice him. That's the path you should be taking.
1604  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't sell your precious BTC to the whales! on: July 11, 2022, 02:48:32 PM
Whales will always buy bitcoin in every dip bitcoin goes , whales knows the secret of becoming rich in bitcoin, that is why they see every dip as an opportunity to buy bitcoin.  We need to learn from the whales and see reasons why they buy bitcoin in every dip. It is better to hodl now than to sell bitcoin to whales at loss.
It's a pity that because of fear and emotions some weak hodlers falls for the whales tricks, they panicked and sell due to the falling price of bitcoin which fell to hands of the whales, historically price of bitcoin always bounce back no matter how dip the price this is fact any new investors or newbie should be aware of, price of bitcoin dipped to $17K+ yet it bounce back to $21K+ now gradually and slowly the bullish sentiment will resume while those who sold their coins to the whales at a loss will have a cause to regret their actions having watched the price rallied up just within some days.
I agree, it is definitely an unfortunate event that makes them lose money to people who already do not need money. People who are poor, and do not know how the trading game works, end up losing the very few they already have, the money they need so much, and the millionaires and billionaires end up getting that few thousand dollars from tens of thousands of people during this period, and turn that into even more billions of dollars worth of profit.

The whole point of bitcoin was to create a playing field that was leveled. Instead of that, we got ourselves another market where the rich would take the money of the poor and that results with this current situation instead.

Anyone buying bitcoin now and expecting to get profits from holding will have at minimum to wait months or even years for that to happen, there is now way this can be classified as a form of trading as at most a trade could last a few weeks and at most a month, and even if a trader did something like that it means that during the time they made those moves they were not really thinking as a trader but as an  investor.
There are differences between traders and investors. But, you could always have it together at the same time, how? Well, if you want to buy something and 15 minutes after you buy, that thing goes up in price then you could sell and make a profit.

But, if you are buying something and then it goes down, then you could hold it for a year and then sell it for a profit. You are the same person, and you bought the same thing, but depending on what the outcome is, you turn out to be a trader or an investor. This is why it is not really that much of a big difference between the two, the difference is what happens meanwhile. If you are willing to do it, then it's fine.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 10, 2022, 08:43:01 PM
Bayern Munich get stronger and stronger season after season.
As far as I can tell Dortmund has never been a good and big competitor's for Bayern Munich.
I don't think Bayern Munich is getting stronger but it is their competitors like Borussia Dortmund who are not improving themselves to be able to compete with Bayern Munich. If you look from season to season, actually the squad that Bayern Munich has does not have many significant changes, but they are able to maintain their game. But I don't see that in other Bundesliga teams.
I agree with that, there is a good reason why Dortmund is not buying players right? I mean they have sold so many great players for the past 2 seasons and they did not get any players that would make a big change. I am expecting them to make a huge purchase, like maybe 20-25 million euros worth of few players. That should be a lot more important for them right now because they lost Haaland and he was the player that made so much difference.

If they do not get a super striker then they would not be doing anything at all. We should be expecting them to do something or they are going to get worse. Look at Bayern, they are literally getting players that would make them so much better.
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 10, 2022, 07:46:33 PM
Dembélé agreed to play at Barcelona until the summer of 2024, while accepting a 40% cut in his wages. This is good news for the club, but as far as I remember, initially Dembele's salary requests were much higher, he just ended up in free agent status and did not find better options so Barcelona took advantage of. As I said, this is good for the club, but there is a possibility that Dembele will feel cheated and this will bring discord into intra-team affairs.
why does dembele feel cheated if barcelona offer has clearly cost him in terms of wages I mean he should take a pay cut. Barcelona doesn't seem to be putting too much pressure on Dembele to accept their offer. So Dembele decision has been well thought out and both parties have accepted a fair deal. if he felt uncomfortable he certainly wouldn't have signed a new contract. So far there has been no point of agreement between the two parties on the Raphinha issue.
I agree, if there weren't any other team that was trying to give him a better offer, then he is not cheated at all. If it was like a forced thing, then I would understand. For example, a young player getting like 5 year deal, and for a cheap one, then turns out to be a superstar, would be missing out a good payday because he is contractually obligated to play for lesser than what he should be getting worth.

But in this case, he was a free agent and he looked for other teams and no other team wanted him for that kind of money. If anything, Barcelona is cheated here because they offered money to a player that didn't get the same offer from any other team, so they overpaid him even with the pay cut.

DeFi, lending and high APYs, all will be liquidated and bankrupted in bear market. Especially if their portfolios have crytocurrencies that have x100, x200 in 2020 and 2021 bull run and they have yet cashed it out to good stable coins.

Things for them will be worse if they used too high leverage in bull run and did not cut their positions to safer leverage.
Unfortunately those lending places do not realize the default rate because they are taking all the money upfront as a collateral, hence why they are not really lending. It's exchanging with extra steps and nothing more.

If I give you 120 dollars worth of LTC today, and get 100 dollars worth of BTC, then we just made an exchange, sure I could pay you back the 100 dollar worth of btc back, and then get the 120 dollar worth of ltc in my account again, but that's literally trading and nothing more, useless. This is why I doubt that all those "defaults" matter to them, they won't crash down to nothing, why? Because they already took so much upfront.
1609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 09, 2022, 09:02:58 PM
Manchester United needs to rebuild their squad and they should sell or let go most of the players but they should start signing new players because the season is really close and they need to pull some moves on the market to get the best possible players
United have released at least six of their players this season, but sadly United have let them go for free or bring in no income to the club. So far United are still bring in one player for the position of defender. And the transfer market will still close in a few months, so United still have time to negotiate with the players they want. And the main rumor is the barcelona player de jong.
They may have let go a lot of players for free, but they are on the market for a lot more at the same time. Which means that it's not going to be that weird to see them doing awesome with the transfer window.

I mean they could still get players until.. September was it? This is why they are not rushing into anything, if they are willing to get some players for free like Eriksen for example then they need to hurry those up, but if they want to buy some players from some teams then they do not have to worry about anything. This is why I have to say that the best thing to do would be waiting to see what they will do. I am sure they will make some good transfers for sure.
1610  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin made you a millionaire? on: July 09, 2022, 02:55:44 PM
I am pretty far from being a millionaire, neither do i have that mindset of being a millionaire through cryptocurrency, quite a lot of people have the get-rich-quick mentality with crypto, and it has cost them quite a lot of losses, some they can't even ever recover from, i am a Bitcoin enthusiast, so i hardly have anything to do with altcoins, but what i have noticed is that it is altcoins that people purchase when they start to nurse that get-rich-quick mentality in their heart, mind you that altcoins are risky and aren't long term projects, thus you should sell when you have the opportunity to, especially when you have made ROI. I am not worried about Bitcoin making me a millionaire or anything of that sort, there are other ways i can achieve that goal in RL, i sincerely believe in the Bitcoin network, and that is part of the reason i put my funds in it.
Altcoins do have a chance to be going higher and make you richer if you are lucky. Of course, there are coins out there in the thousands, and if you are lucky you will get that one which will be going up, and not the thousands that will not mean to become anything.

I have been part of so many projects now both as an investor and as a worker, I can tell you that most of them do not even have any intention of being in the top 100, let alone top 10. This is why you know why you should stay away from those, and focus yourself on something more serious. I love bitcoin as well, at least I know what I can do with it and what I can expect, ETH and BNB too, because they are pretty legit as well.
1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 08, 2022, 09:10:52 PM
Every player has a great future and it just depends on how they train themselves every day. There's always the potential to improve especially if players want to be the best, and I think Jovic might be able to achieve that if he trains hard.

Good or bad a player for a team depends on how he performs when played in a match. I remember how good Coutinho was at Liverpool that Barcelona were interested in him, but in the end he failed. But on the other hand, a player of mediocre quality can be better if he really wants to improve, and another thing is if handled by the right coach.
This is quite true, you never know how a transfer will turn out until you really see it happening. I personally believe that Jovic would look to be a great player, and I think he is not going to be bad at all, at least not going to have a Coutinho like a career at all.

This is a bit more smaller scale of things, 130 million is a giant number that should only be applied to players that would be world star at the time, and coutinho wasn't a world star even at that time, let alone later, later he became very bad. This is why I believe that we shouldn't really expect the same from Jovic, he is not expected to be that much, he would be fine with whatever expected of him.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 08, 2022, 07:21:01 AM
The competition for football next season will be even more fierce, and Chelsea cannot expect more from an aging player. I certainly tend to expect Chelsea to take on young and talented players. Although Ronaldo is still productive, it cannot be guaranteed to last long. If Chelsea looks to the Monster Club the changes to determine young players have already been made. Manchester City and Liverpool, for example, target players who have long-term prospects. That's the most appropriate thing Chelsea needs to take as well.
I believe that Chelsea would probably do something to get better. I mean this is premier league football and Chelsea is one of the top teams there. With the new owner wanting to show how much he wants to be part of it, he is going to spend a lot of money at first.

These type of people do not straight up spend their own money neither, they get like investors and such, so we are going to see a lot of new transfers. Maybe not all in the same off-season, but he is going to have some this year for sure. This is why I believe we should be quite happy to see what he is going to pull off. Chelsea fans at least should be very excited about it.
1613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 07, 2022, 08:19:39 PM
Raheem Sterling can add his own quota to the Chelsea struggle. He got dribbling skills and good leg work. Romelu Lukaku got 8 goals for Chelsea last sesson, Sterling had 13 goals in the premier league last season and he wasn't even a starter at Manchester City, If he is goes to Chelsea and has a starting position, he will be able to give them good numbers. Sterling is a smart player, he doesn't get injured easily like other players.
I have to say that Sterling is not the type of player that could turn the whole thing around. He is a great player for sure, but if he was amazing and good enough to make a team better all by himself, he would have stayed in City instead. He would be a good addition there is no doubt about that, but people are acting as if this is something that would be unbelievable to everyone, which is not.

Chelsea getting Sterling is not a shocker, in fact it is quite expected result. Chelse aneeds to get a super striker, Lukaku didn't pan out, I am guessing that they are looking for someone, and if they could get that player, they would be much better for sure.
1614  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin have real value? on: July 07, 2022, 06:04:54 PM
Of course it does.

1 Bitcoin is approximately worth 20 thousand US dollars which is enough to buy a decent used car everywhere in the world. Whether you say it has value or not has no meaning. The world isn't spinning around you. Maybe bitcoin is worthless to you, that's fine. Lots of other people think that way too but on the other hand, lots people people think its worth $20k right now.

The US dollar has value too. No matter how crappy it is getting, people still use it.
People are saying that the price and the value are different things, that's the issue. I mean I think they are the same thing and if people think it is not then it's their problem. But, what you are talking about is the price, so when they come here again, they will say that 20k is the price, and not the value.

I believe if we were to say the value is different, I would put the value a lot higher, in my mind bitcoin WILL be 100k+ for sure and there is no doubt about that at all. This is why we should try to focus on what we can do and not what we can't control and since I know it will go up, I just buy as much as I can and patiently wait for it to go up.
1615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 07, 2022, 08:55:33 AM
According to sources Raheem Sterling has confirmed a move to Chelsea as an agreement has been reached for a transfer fee of £45m and this has been agreed by both parties.
However, at this time Chelsea are still prioritizing the transfer of Rapinha, which it is reported that Chelsea are also interested but this is still waiting for an offer from Barcelona whether there is a match or not with the Leeds side but Chelsea will still wait for the next news, which means with other rumors Ronaldo and Neymar who will go to Chelsea is still not a priority. Tuchel seems to focus on other players compared to the two stars.
Why though? I never truly understand the moves at the very top teams. Dude plays very well in City, and I believe he is a very talented player and he wasn't the reason they lost in UCL, and he has contributed consistently to a team that won the league so many times now. Getting rid of him to Chelsea, a team that is close to them makes no sense to me. Is it about the money only? I mean City doesn't look like a team that is in need of a lot of money to be fair.

In any case, if it is done deal then it is done deal and not like Sterling went to a bad team and not like City would suddenly be a bad team just because they lost Sterling, makes no sense.

BNB burn is scheduled to take place. For this reason in  BNB/BTC trading pair we were able to experience the rise in the price of BNB. The BNB on transaction fee too is burnt and now BNB burning could've crossed 100k BNB. For this reason it is always a best investment for long term holding than any other altcoins. So, $1000 is possible someday for sure.
I agree that there is a good case to be made about the burning that increases the price "psychologically" goes up. Why not really but psychologically? Because, the reality is that the coins that got burned are the coins that literally Binance held anyway. Which means that the price shouldn't be affected, it is literally in "a safe" basically and gets burned which means that it wasn't in the circulation to begin with.

This is more like guarantee that it would never be, but if you trusted binance to begin with, that means you knew long before the burning process that it wouldn't be in the market anyway. This is why I honestly believe that it shouldn't impact it much, but it will impact it a lot.
1617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 06, 2022, 07:25:03 AM
Matthijs de Ligt is a talented enough player. And he is a good defender for a big and renowned team like Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich's defense needed to be strengthened. If de Ligt can adapt well to the Munich team, Bayern Munich's defense will be stronger next season. The important thing is that de Ligt's fitness is excellent. At the same time, this young player will be able to stay with Bayern Munich for a long time
I am not sure if he is fast enough though. I mean he is definitely a great defender at an "anchor" role if you want him to play like that. But at the same time we are talking about a player that may not fit the tactic of Bayern.

Usually the defenders there are very fast, and they are very big and strong at the same time, which means that we are going to end up with a player that would a bit shine out of everyone else. Would it work? Maybe, I do not know, I am not a great manager or something, I am just a guy who talks about football and watches football, and a bit wagers on football. But if nagelsmann wants him, and they get him, then they probably have a system in place in their minds.

Keeping a positive approach while you are into this kind of industry will allow you to develop good and useful mindsets, there are sways that might affect your trading position and a need of adjustment that will let you continue to be compensated, but not all can do things like this and possibilities of losing a trade is not impossible, but coping and moving forward is the best thing to take the challenge..
It is certainly something that will decide on the future of your profits as well. If you know what you are doing right now, then you would be easily making profit later on. People who could turn a profit during a bear period would find the bull period very easy. This is why I personally feel like it's easy to go over this bear period?

I just buy as much as I can, and I hold it as much as I can, and then I turn a profit from it when the time comes. Yes, it's not easy, and yes it takes time but at the same time we are talking about something simple here, just buy and hold. This is why it's quite easy to "survive" this period, and then make a profit later.

I also like many others could only exchange just 1 WoF ticket daily at the beginning,but once I started to wager daily and consistently and after I made like 0.05 Bitcoin or somewhat more in total wagered amount I am enjoying now from many days like exchanging 4 WoF daily.I guess that if I probably wagered like 0.50 Bitcoin it would be an insane amount to exchange daily up to 40 WoF spins for Reward Points.That feature is one of the best as if used just once daily and if we use it after 1 PM European time usually we get also the WoF daily spins from Premium Membership and together we have more daily spins.

I'm sure Gabriel Jesus will turn out to be a very important player for Arsenal in whatever their ambition is for next season, i commend Gabriel for taking this bold step, i actually have a problem with players who are happy with little or no playing time, my philosophy remains that if you aren't getting the playing time you deserve, and you stick around and fight for a starting place in the team and it just isn't working, i prolly think it should be time the player left. Gabriel was obviously comfortable in City, winning multiple trophies and playing occasionally, but he wasn't still satisfied, he was also aware that the arrival of Erling would further reduce his playing time, thus he had to leave, he will play very regularly at the Emirates Stadium, and that is what he needs for the overall development of his career.
Maybe he will be Arsenal single sticker next season. where last season arsenal only relied on Lacazette as a lone sticker and in fact he did not display an impressive performance up front for arsenal. Arsenal main problem last season I think Arteta didn't have a star sticker up front and now Gabriel Jesus can fill this gap. Arsenal is known as a team filled with young players and has not won a championship mentality in the past few seasons. I hope Arteta can form a better squad in this summer window.
I would guess that even if he is not the only one, he would certainly be the one that is preferred for sure. It would create a type of situation where it is a big deal and it would create some type of chances for him to actually showcase his talent.

Yes, he has shown the world he is a good player there is no denying that, but he is rarely a player that ended up being the sole striker that gets all the minutes and score a bunch of goals. Imagine a season where he scores 20+ goals and has like 10+ assists, and if he does that like twice in a row, I am pretty sure that he would go to another big club once again and this time for good and to get a ton of money to play as the single striker. I feel like him being replacement for Benzema would be ideal situation.
