1781  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency: The Future of Finance in a New World Order? on: August 27, 2021, 11:51:27 PM
In 2009, the first cryptocurrency -Bitcoin-, officially launched and since then has continued to roll into a snowball effect that poses a serious threat to the existence of conventional finance. As much money as the restless World Central Bank, the government seems helpless and dragged into the vortex of the evolution of the world's financial system. The Covid-19 pandemic has become a catalyst for forcing the entry of all financial and banking industry sectors into the digitalization era. Imagine a concept of a world without physical currency. It is strange, but real. Money will be removed and replaced with a digital currency system.
Sadly, governments and central banks will have greater control over people's lives as they make use of crypto/Blockchain tech for their own benefit. The advent of Bitcoin has encouraged banks to launch digital currencies of their own. Without paper money, governments can easily track and trace every transaction performed by everyday people. This means greater surveillance, and the end of the "privacy era". COVID-19 has accelerated the adoption of digital payments, making us one step closer towards a "New World Order".
The longer it takes to end the pandemic, the closer we'll be towards a cashless society. Our economy will never look the same as it was before COVID-19. Crypto will survive because of its decentralized and censorship-resistant design. But adoption will decline as governments prevent people from using it as much as possible. We should enjoy our privacy while it lasts before it's too late. Who knows how the world will look like in the future? Just my opinion Smiley
Yes, unfortunately, such a view of the near future is close to the truth and has every right to be fulfilled. These are the costs of the emerging high-tech society, and for some time people will really have to live under the pressure of increasing state control. Let's hope that this will not last long enough and humanity will develop its own mechanisms to resist the emerging total control and even some form of digital slavery. No matter what good intentions and wishes are given by interested parties, but still every person should have elementary rights, including to privacy. Therefore, the digital future is not so blissful and some things will have to be fought for in order not to be buried by this future. The most important thing is that all this should take place in civilized forms both on the part of the state and on the part of ordinary citizens.

Having failed in the signing of Kane and then Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester City still continues to search for a new scoring striker for their team and the club's eye seems to have been attracted by the figure of Lewandowski. It is also a big question whether City will agree to pay the amount requested by Bayern, because before that it was about the amount of more than 100 million euros. Another question is whether Bayern are ready to be without their main striker in such a short time before the end of the transfer window.  There is also information that Manchester City is ready to pay 150 million euros for Haaland. Exactly the same question arises about Borussia Dortmund  Wink

it seems that the reason for the high salary makes Juventus have to sell Ronaldo, but in my opinion, the failure of Juventus in the Champions League is likely to be a strong reason for Ronaldo being sold even though at a relatively cheap price at this time, the reason juventus  to bring Ronaldo from Real Madrid was so that they could become champion in the champions league, but in fact ronaldo was not able to bring juventus to become champions league champions, and even three consecutive seasons juventus failed to penetrate the top 4 of the champions league and this was different when ronaldo was not yet a juventus player.
Even a player like Ronaldo is not necessarily alone can lead his team to the title in the Champions League and a lot should come together, including the rest of the players in the squad and an elementary moment of luck at the right moments. Alas, but unfortunately for Juventus, all these elements of the puzzle did not work out in the case of Ronaldo, which was further aggravated by the rest of the transfer policy and the unjustified risk in appointing Pirlo, who was not at all experienced in coaching. On the one hand, the signing of Ronaldo implied the presence of high ambitions of Juventus in the Champions League, but on the other hand, this was not supported by other equally effective actions to strengthen the squad in the transfer market.

it is a shame that the number of followers of both Real Madrid and Barcelona has dropped enormously. It is likely that all the emotions of football are heading towards France and England.
It is noticeable, EPL has almost most stars to follow with solid teams, Unpredictable results and competitive games. PSG has Messi and Ramos among a couple of players to watch too, otherwise games there aren't top while what left for La Liga? Real Madrid without its historic defense and CR7, Barca without its legend Messi..obviously the number of followers of La Liga will drop for these reasons..
For today's game, 20 minutes left before the end and Mallorca is leading with 1 goal vs Espanyol
Primer league most wonderful now after success for Manchester United got Cristiano Ronaldo, I think La Liga should support with Real  Madrid deal to get Mbappe from PSG, almost league have star player only La Liga not popular again after left by Lionel Messi. I think need more working hard how to find star for La Liga and make this league most popular again above primer league.
With all due respect to Mbappe, he is still far from the media popularity of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It is still difficult to compare a young player who has achieved a lot with players who have a long successful career and have more than one golden ball of the best player in the world in their luggage. However, Real Madrid will gain a lot in terms of the game and in the reserve for the future for many years, if Mbappe's transfer still takes place. On the other hand, Mbappe still needs enough time and continued playing at a high level both at the club and at the level of the national team to be at a similar level of stardom as Messi and Ronaldo.

This is the most sensational transfer this season. Ronaldo is adored by Man United fans worldwide...Ronaldo won 3 premier leagues with Man United. I'm disappointed that Manchester City gave up on signing Christiano Ronaldo. I read Sir Alex Ferguson convinced Christiano Ronaldo to come home to Man united. This power move was very unexpected and is going to give the team a big boost. His presence is enough inspiration for the players. He took Man utd to a different level in the past and will do so again. Wow the EPL just got intense
I'm so happy reading and seeing this, indeed Ronaldo makes Manchester United title contenders.
You can't play for Manchester United and play for Manchester City, I would have been hurt deeply if Ronaldo ended up at Manchester City.
Our Counter Attack is going to be something else this season.
This is a business and nothing personal, so I would not be surprised if Cristiano Ronaldo ended up at Manchester City. The world would not have collapsed, and the sun and moon still made their movement across the sky  Wink With all due respect to Manchester United, but City still looked stronger in their ambitions for the Premier League title and, accordingly, Ronaldo too. But what happened happened and Ronaldo returned to Manchester United and I think that United's chances for the title have become bigger. I think that Josep Guardiola and Manchester City will not calm down and will still try to make some major acquisition of another scoring striker. Another question is that the transfer window is closing soon.

It's not about salary because Mbappe rejected all offers from PSG so far according to news on media. He wants to find a new challenge and wants to be a biggest star in a team he is playing for.
With Neymar, Messi in PSG, Mbappe will not have that position. In Real Madrid, he will be the first brick of the Galaticos 3.0 in Bernabeu. I guess it is what Mbappe wants at this time and PSG won't be able to pay him too high salary. After they signed with Messi and pay too high salary for Messi.
Do we know what the offers were? I mean we know that there were few offers from PSG and he declined them all but we do not know exact numbers as far as I know, and I am 100% sure that it wasn't 50 million euro per year neither, nor was it 2x of what Real could offer neither, PSG could do that, they do not have la liga financial cap type of deals and they could offer Mbappe way more than what Real could offer.
Make it a stupid offer, make it so stupid that people will think that it would have been better to let him go for free instead of paying him that much, make it that big and then you get Mbappe for sure. I know 100 million a year sounds silly, but I just want to give an example; would mbappe say no to 100 million a year? Of course not, which means there IS  a number that he would accept, maybe not 100 because that is too much but there is definitely a number out there.
I think that in any case, we were talking about comparable amounts, both at Paris Saint-Germain and at Real Madrid, and I would not be surprised if PSG even offered a bigger contract, but of course, 100 million is out of the question in the current conditions. Real Madrid seemed to be going to return to the issue of buying out Mbappe in the winter, but it was not Kane's transfer to Manchester City that launched such tectonic things that the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United may not be limited and we will still have time to hear about a very loud transition and I would not be surprised if Mbappe's transfer can happen already in this transfer window.

Manchester United bring back Ronaldo to old Trafford is more like a twist of fate. For the past 5weeks amidst Messi transfer it was rumoured that Cristiano Ronaldo might be heading to PSG or Manchester city, no saw this coming that Man U will swifty swap their legend back to its base where he thrilled EPL fans for years with his amazing qualities and won his first balon dor. With the array of stars at Manchester United coupled with this exciting move of C. Ronaldo to Manchester United, it is evident that EPLL football will be blazing and fun to watch and trust me every Red devil's expect a master class from the team and possibly a long awaited silverware.
Yeah, PSG were still in the rumours until the deal finished successfully for Manchester United. I'm not very sure about whether it would be good to see Messi and Ronaldo at the same team. I guess we will never find out.  Grin  It is great to see Ronaldo being back here. Maybe he is not young now but I believe that he will still contribute to the team a great deal. I hope to see him in a match as soon as possible.
Oh, yes, it's even a little disappointing that we won't be able to see Messi and Ronaldo as part of the same team  Wink Everything turned upside down and happened too quickly. Josep Guardiola himself did not know until the end how everything would end, because shortly before that he claimed that everything could happen in a few hours. The news, of course, is amazing and the fans of Manchester United, who in a rage have already managed to burn Ronaldo T-shirts because of the news about the transfer to Manchester City, it's time to buy new ones  Grin It's funny, but the success of a football player is perfectly measured by the number of T-shirts sold, and in this Manchester United is clearly waiting for success  Wink
1788  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial freedom and success comes from knowledge on: August 26, 2021, 11:59:21 PM
Everyone acts as if the whole world is filled with people who are smart and rich. Yes there are smart rich people but there are also tons of idiot morons who are rich because their father was rich, and there are tons of smart people who are not rich neither.
So, I have to say that it is definitely not true that wisdom brings money, for many that is not right. I mean Trump took a whole wealth that his father left him and build an empire of bankruptcy and people STILL think he is a good business person, believed him for the past decade or so. Which is why I have to say that you do not have to smart to be rich, there are a billion examples of this going around in the world.
Smart people still have the advantage from those idiots but this doesn't mean that once you're a smart individual, you will definitely become financially free. It takes time to become one. You need to be more knowledgeable and skilled in managing your finances so you will be able to earn more profits rather than spending it on those non profit material stocks.
But i do believe that knowledge is power. You won't be able to improve yourself and become financially free if you don't know about money and how it will work and become profitable. So once you have gained knowledge that turn out to be skills, then  eventually it ill lead you to success.
Of course, knowledge is an important thing in any business with which a person's activity is connected, but there are some quite scientific studies when a monkey showed better results in trading than people or that the best players on the stock exchange usually lose to the consolidated stock index over a long distance Wink Therefore, not everything is so clear and too much knowledge in the subject can play against the trader himself, it is not for nothing that it is said that a lot of knowledge is a lot of sadness. Also, do not forget that these so-called rich idiots-morons may well recruit a team of smart and knowledgeable people who will make the result, so wealth in this case is equivalent to knowledge  Grin

The greatest thing that will happen to Spa is going to be a wet race as by weather predictions which is showing rain in that location until at least Sunday night.This will greatly add adrenaline to the show and we know Hamilton is the king of wet races so far.It is going to be the most beautiful race of the season if the weather doesn't change and I doubt it will,all satellites showing rain on that day,can't wait till Sunday.

I hope not, esp if Verstappen is on pole.  Lol.  But yeah, just checked the weather forecast after reading your post and it looks like there’s a high probability of rain shower.  Sucks...  But I guess it’s good for an ‘Alonso top 6’ bet tho.  He’s at 4.95 to finish top 6 at Stake.  Smiley  Seems like a decent value bet.

I really hope we can finally see a proper Verstappen-Hamilton battle that lasts the whole race. Mercedes brought an upgrade a couple of races ago, but because of the two crashes, we've not yet seen how their new pace compares with Verstappen in a Red Bull. Fingers crossed they are equally matched and we can see some exciting racing for the rest of the season. If they are equally matched, or close, then the second driver for each team comes into it as a tactical angle. How will the contract uncertainty around Bottas affect his driving? Does he have everything to prove, or is the decision already made?
In any case, Bottas ' career does not end with staying at Mercedes, and Mercedes may well contribute to the further employment of the Finnish driver in another team, if the cooperation within Mercedes is not extended. In any case, Toto Wolff said that the time has come to decide who will be in the team for next year, to meet Valtteri Bottas and George Russell at Spa and talk to them face to face. Therefore, in the very near future, this issue will be clarified and it seems that not the most successful results of Bottas this season make Russell the main contender for a place in the new season and it is unlikely that even the success of Bottas at Spa will greatly prevent this.

Left six days for window deadline and close and we know what happen with Cristiano Ronaldo will sign with Manchester City or stay for Juventus until his contract ended in this season. He was not happy stay on Juventus because not play at the first minutes when Juventus draw with Udinese, now he looking new opportunity with Manchester City, will Pep Guardiola make Cristiano Ronaldo as second player for City or not after not success got Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur.
According to the news circulating, it seems that the transfer process of Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus to Manchester City has been completed and it is just waiting for an official announcement from both parties about it, and even ronaldo will get a salary of 15 million euros a season, but there are no exact details of how many seasons manchester city will sign Ronaldo, but what is certain is that Ronaldo's move to Manchester City is likely to materialize in the near future.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1430979514423775239
Actually, Niccolo Schiro reports that it seems that we are talking about 20 million euros per season and it is more likely to believe in this, given the recent earnings and ambitions of Ronaldo. In any case, Juventus was waiting for an official offer from Manchester City and it seems that they finally received this offer in the amount of 30 million euros. There was also talk about a contract for two years until 2023, because this is an important argument for Ronaldo and his further career continuation. For all the complacency of the transfer for both sides, Ronaldo's mood may be spoiled by the fact that Manchester City is the worst enemy for Manchester United fans, but United themselves did not show much initiative about the transfer of Ronaldo.
1791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: August 26, 2021, 11:30:20 PM
It is not the tradition of Real Madrid and not the style of Perez. He wants to buy super stars and wants to build his Galaticos, from 1.0, 2.0 and now he is starting with Mbappe for the Galaticos 3.0. With his experience, I think Perez will not forget the importance of defense system so he will bring a few good defenders and defensive midfielders for the club. They will be parts of Galaticos 3.0
Mbappe is a perfect fit for Real Madrid. I'm sure Madrid really want him and offer him at a great price. Having young players like Mbappe in the team will make it easier for the team to win games. He is a sharp player and he has been very prolific scoring goals so far. A young goalscorer who is wanted by many teams at the moment and perhaps Madrid will be at the forefront of getting this player's signature if their offer is accepted.
The drama about Mbappe and Madrid continues until the transfer window is completely closed  Cheesy some local media report the opposite every day make us confused which issue is correct. PSG are definitely willing to sell Mbappe but at a higher price than what Madrid is offering, the flow will continue like this like last season.
Paris Saint-Germain has definitely accepted that Mbappe will not renew his contract, but still would like to receive an amount clearly more than 200 million for such a player, comparable to the amount that was paid for Neymar. Therefore, I would not say that the latest proposed amount of 170 million euros plus 10 million for bonuses is great. Now, in the remaining days, there will be a war of nerves between the clubs, when on the one hand Paris Saint-Germain would like to receive decent compensation for a player who will otherwise leave as a free agent next year, and on the other hand Real Madrid, who would like to get a player right now, but would like to save a little on this.
1792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: August 26, 2021, 11:21:27 PM
According to Report from Skysports, Manchester City is interested in signing the Juventus striker Ronaldo on a two years contract. Ronaldo have been in Juventus since 2018, and also scored 81 goals so far. He left Premier League for Serie A in 2009, and it will be great to see him play in the Premier League again after 12 years.
Manchester City are not only interested in Ronaldo, it seems the deal is almost done already and Ronaldo would surprisingly be moving to the blue half of Manchester to play for City, that would ruin the love Manchester United fans have for Ronaldo, but it looks like it is his only option at the moment, he wants to leave Juventus, and for now City is the only team willing to have him in their team and handle his large wages.
I know it's going to be a very difficult decision for Ronaldo, but if he eventually moves to City, I wouldn't blame him at all, that's football for you, City are doing very well, and have a very big chance of winning the champions league this season, Ronaldo is nearing the end of his career, so city is one of the best places for him to be at the moment and add more major trophies to the many he already has in his cabinet.
I absolutely agree. Juventus with its modern ambitions is absolutely not comparable with the ambitions and expenses of the same Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, so the player's departure was obvious when the contours of Juventus ' policy on the formation of the squad and financing were determined. The same can also be said about Manchester United, which cannot and is not ready to spend such sums to strengthen its squad, so despite all the ambiguity in the attitude of United fans to this transition, it is still worth recognizing that City is the best option for Ronaldo. The irony in this situation is added by the fact that before these events, everyone was waiting for the arrival of Leo Messi to Josep Guardiola, and in the end we can get the arrival of his constant competitor Ronaldo  Grin

https://as.com/futbol/2021/08/26/internacional/1629982347_718844.html
According to AS, Manchester City have agreed on a deal for bringing Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo. The 36-year-old has been seeming very keen on joining Manchester City. He hasn't been happy at Juventus for some time seemingly. Juventus wanted to keep him till the end of the season first. But later, they started going after Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus to replace Ronaldo.
It's beginning to look like this deal will push through. According to transfermarktt, there's a 60%+ chance of it pushing through anytime soon. From what I've observed, Ronaldo haven't been happy at Juventus lately ~ you can see his frustration in some of their recent games. It's not as exciting as when he first made the move. Anyway, it would be super interesting to have him back in the Premier league where he could play what might be his last career games. One thing is for sure, either now or at the end of the season, Ronaldo will definitely leave Juventus.
It's just that Ronaldo wants to win the Champions League once again, and the current Juventus is not the best option for such a task, given the composition and transfer company. One of the obstacles to concluding this deal may be the desire of Juventus to receive compensation for this transfer, but Manchester City may well agree to this, given the failed transfer of Harry Kane to their camp. If the deal goes through, both sides will be satisfied. Juventus by receiving compensation for the transfer, and Manchester City by getting such a super player into their squad and to some extent responded in the media plan to Paris Saint-Germain with the signing of Messi. The only thing that the fans of Manchester United will be very dissatisfied with, having received the transfer of their former player to the camp of a sworn rival.
1794  Economy / Economics / Re: Only young and naive guy believe in high risk high return on: August 25, 2021, 11:59:24 PM
I negate the notion for high risk equivalent to high return, let take a look from this direction, the difference between the skills and unskilled labour, who take the most risk in service delivery, all the skilled labour need to do is plan, arrange and organize a structure and give directions for proceedings, but the unskilled labour will be the ones to carried out the task, market it, advertise it, and had a direct contact with the buyers, and in the case of the craftsmanship, they use their energy, labour to achieve a desired work specification under the sun or in the rain to ensure the task is done, the unskilled labour get little pay while the skilled labour is paid higher in most business settings.
Physical hard works and labour is not equivalent to getting rich or high return or earnings but a constructive "idea" does, having a good ideology can bring a solution to a lingering problem over years. Another interesting fact is that the higher the risk the higher the return is not applicable in crypto as it mostly sounds to be a signal to scams and fraudulent schemes who appear in such manners in the digital world of Cryptocurrency.
As for cryptocurrencies, the principle of high income for high risk also works, because if you invest in an already known coin,then you will not get such a high income. Yes, your income will be more guaranteed and the cryptocurrency is already well known to investors and everyone more or less knows what to expect from it in the near future, but this is what limits the degree of future income. All this is usually not there when you invest in a new coin and get a big risk that you will not only not pay back your investments, but even lose, and this applies not only to an outright scam, because this is a common feature of all new projects that there will not be the right niche in the market and the project will fail.

These are very hot hours for Juventus regarding the future of Cristiano Ronaldo. After his debut on the bench on the occasion of Udinese-Juventus, CR7 wants to leave Juve IMO. As reported by Fantacalcio.it, Bianconeri ask at least 25 million euros to let the player leave, a figure that would interest Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
Another reason for that is That if the Kane deal does not complete, the last minute Ronaldo opportunity could arise for the citizens: Gabriel Jesus could also be included to accelerate the operation.
https://twitter.com/HKane/status/1430496495225262084?s=20

Harry Kane is staying. He tweeted this.

So, I wonder whether Manchester City would be able to sign Cristiano Ronaldo on the last week of the transfer window. But €25m is a really bad offer I think. I don't wait for Juventus to sell him for that amount. His market value is €45m now. Let's see whether City will manage to end the deal.
Yeah I read that and find it logic. Spurs won vs City and Wolves, they are trying to compete for the first places, his team isn't willing to let him go that easily, so yeah he will try his shot this year.
For CR7, Juve want to get ride of his salary and he wants to leave although in public it is said that he want to continue there and Juve want him to stay. Now it is his opportunity to try his luck in City which seems trying to get him for free, but honestly €25m is cheap for City and is satisfying Juve which wouldn't let him go for free like that after spending a fortune on him.
If Juventus really wanted Ronaldo to stay, they would have offered a contract extension in a year, but it so happened that Juventus did not do this and pushed the player and agent to look for other options. I perfectly understand Ronaldo, who would like a clear offer to continue his career in the next two years and Paris Saint-Germain seems to be ready to make such an offer. Juventus is no longer as ambitious as it looked a few years ago when the signing of the contract with Ronaldo took place and it seems that the club will be quite satisfied with the return of the Italian champion title as a goal for this season, and not winning the title of the winner of the Champions League.
1796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 25, 2021, 11:40:03 PM
In the new match week, we are going to start with the Dortmund vs Hoffenheim game.
Dortmund had a really good start against Frankfurt with a 5-2 score. But they surprised everyone by losing to Freiburg 2-1. Haaland can't save the team all the time. They should make a much bigger effort as a team. Otherwise, they won't be able to fight for the title again. When it comes to Hoffenheim, they had a little better start. They demolished Augsburg 4-0 and drew with Union Berlin 2-2. When it comes to the head-to-heads, Dortmund couldn't beat them home for 3 games. This means Hoffenheim have a psychological advantage. But still, I believe in Dortmund to win this game as long as they have a good teamplay.
I do not get why people think that "haaland can't save them all by himself" is a valid talking point for dortmund. I do agree that Haaland is a great and amazing striker and he is by far the best player on that team, he would be the best player on most teams aside from maybe 3-5 teams in the world, dude is a wonderful player. However let's not act as if rest of the squad is a second division level team, even without Haaland that team is a top table team, sure maybe not top three, but top half of the league for sure, in the top 10 without a doubt, with addition of Haaland they become "fight for a european cup entrance ticket" team and that is a great addition.
I am quite sad to see almost everyone believes that Dortmund is what it is only thanks to Haaland and nobody else, which means that if he leaves the club than the club will be fighting for being at top half, which I do not think is true, they will be 6th, 7th easily even without him.
It's just that Borussia Dortmund, by its behavior during this transfer window, pushed with all its might to such an opinion, when selling the rest of its leaders, Dormund completely refused to talk about selling Haaland in this transfer window. I also do not fully agree with this opinion, but it is still worth considering that at this moment in time, Borussia Dortmund has Haaland as the player who can provide the necessary trumps in the game, provide the difference in strength that will ensure the necessary result. Therefore, I agree that teammates should also make more efforts and try to reach a higher level than a place in the top seven clubs of the Bundesliga.
1797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 25, 2021, 11:32:13 PM
Yes, it seems bizarre. If someone offers you 160m for a player who is out of contract soon and can walk away for free, then why on Earth would you say no and start trying to haggle?
Business wise, its such a bad idea to object to such amount at such crucial time, especially when the player is very much willing to leave the team. That's a lot of profit that a team would be willing to loose on a player to free transfer all in the name of a dream team should his contract with the club expires. You can be sure he won't renew and that would be a straight up free transfer. Though, the team as it is now, with Neymar, Messi and Mbappe, it was going to be a complete dominance of the league 1 and a very strong competition for the internal club games. Wise choice for Real Madrid.
It's more a matter of principle. Paris Saint-Germain does not need money as much and is not in such a hopeless situation regarding financial fair play as Barcelona, which urgently tried to find buyers for some of its players, so PSG can afford to do such symbolic things, such as, for example, we are not against selling a player, but only on their own terms. However, I am not at all sure that Real Madrid will agree to the proposed conditions, especially since the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, expressed his dissatisfaction with Paris Saint-Germain's rude response to the transfer offer. Real Madrid seems to be ready to increase its offer, but I don't think that it is by the required amount.

Is it already confirmed that Mbappé will go to Real Madrid? I understand that the president of PSG is making all the contacts to see if it pleases all the fans worldwide, there are many investors who are buying shares for PSG, they all want to work at PSG, in fact sales exceed 832 thousand No. 30 Messi jerseys.
Now I think if Messi and Ronaldo are in the same team it will turn into many victories for PSG, for its part Real Madrid will have a totally French forward. I have seen that the social networks of Real Madrid have lowered many their followers and that the followers of PSG have increased, could this signal an alarm for the Spanish teams?
Still, with all due respect to Mbappe, he is not yet such a media personality that he attracts such information interest as a potential information bomb in the form of a game of two of the greatest players of our time in one composition. In theory, the option when Ronaldo goes to Paris Saint-Germain, and Mbappe goes to Real Madrid would suit all interested parties relatively, but the question of compensation arises, because Paris Saint-Germain demands 200 million euros for Mbappe, which Real Madrid is unlikely to pay, and Juventus will demand compensation for Ronaldo. Therefore, not everything is clear here, given that there is not so much time left before the transfer window closes.

Arsenal has done beyond my expectations tonight and they've still got the energy to do more. 3 goals in just first half, its second half and there have been 3 more goals and the count isn't looking like its done yet. This is so unbelievable from this once thought to be a laxy team this season. Hope they bring this vibe to the EPL. Just hope they don't get to score all there goals tonight and have got nothing left for Manchester City by the weekend, lol. I think now is the best time to rest all them players for Saturdays game becuase, Pep Guardiola is very much paying attention to this game.
Yeah, it was like they used up all of their chances in this match against West Brom. A 6-0 win is really impressive and Aubameyang's performance also (hat-trick). But I wonder if this result will incentivize them to play better than expected and make Manchester City some difficulties. But I'm still not expecting such thing to happen. I think that City will have the control of the match and defeat them the way they want.
Yes, you really shouldn't draw conclusions from this match, because Manchester City is a team of a completely different level than West Brom. However, an attractive feature of such victories is the acquisition of some confidence for individual players and for the whole team, after a series of defeats. And this is exactly what is now more than ever necessary for Arsenal. It would be interesting to see how Arsenal will begin to show significant competition to the leading clubs of the league this season and for Manchester City to be the first team to experience the unimaginable playing power of the new Arsenal  Wink Moreover, Arteta has already been given an ultimatum by the club's management to improve the results in the next five matches.

It seems that the most crazy fays in the market are still to come and most has not revealed all its cards yet.
According to Niccol Scherra, a journalist close to Italian football, and Gianluca Di Marzio, a well-known and trusted journalist, Manchester City have offered Cristiano Ronaldo a two-year contract, with a net salary of 15 million euros.
The news to a large extent may be true, especially since all reports indicated that City would choose Ronaldo only if the Harry Kane deal failed, and this actually happened today after Kane announced his continuation with Tottenham for this season.
By the way, a very good option for Ronaldo, because Paris Saint-Germain offered a contract for two years. I also think that the fact of some resentment of Ronaldo against Juventus, who did not want a contract extension after next summer, will play a role. Another question is that Juventus will probably demand compensation for the transfer, and Paris Saint-Germain is famous lately for trying to sign football superstars who come to the team as free agents. Although I think that if it is necessary, Paris Saint-Germain will find the required amount. And the situation with Mbappe's transfer is not yet fully understood, I am not sure that Mbappe and Ronaldo will be together at the club. In any case, it will be interesting to see the development of the situation.
