@Velvet78 PSG won’t win the champions league unless they have a united squad and due to Mbappe’s recent statements the squad is already divided hence they need to sell him and unite the player’s. Furthermore Enrique will need at least two - three transfer windows to build a squad that can implement his plans and thus I hope that PSG owner’s give him time otherwise the head coach position for PSG will open up very soon.

We never know as things are starting to change with Enrique's arrival. He has a different mentality than PSG have had so far. However I believe they still need one more transfer to the attacking line. A centre-forward transfer would happen most probably. After deciding upon a striker and signing him successfully I think they should be good to go.

The only ambiguous point here is whether the new mentality will work well for PSG. They have always used a mentality of fast football so far. I don't expect Enrique to maintain this understanding of play completely. Control possession strategy might come one step forward as of Enrique's coming to the team.

Manchester City might be on the verge of losing Riyad Mahrez as well. He is 32 years old maybe but he is still a really beneficial player for the team now. He completed the previous season with 15 goals and 13 assists. He still has 2 more years on his contract as well. Therefore I don't know if Manchester City would be eager to sell him now.

He is the only natural right winger in the squad right now so Manchester City will need to find a replacement for him in case he insists on leaving. Al Ahli are preparing an offer of 30 million pounds to Manchester City. I have no doubt his salary offer would be really attracting to the player.

Joao Felix has shown his intention to leave Atletico Madrid recently according to I have heard. Atletico Madrid actually seemed to have plans for him by not extending his loan at Chelsea. It is reported that they even increased his asking price to 100 million euros. However the player still seems to be keen on signing for a different team.

That team seems like PSG now. However I don't feel like PSG would pay that much to sign Felix. At least he wouldn't be their first choice if they want to pay that much in my opinion. I have heard about an offer by Aston Villa for Felix as well but their not being in the Champions League hindered them from signing him.

They will need to make up for the striker shortage for Milan. Along with Giroud, a good striker is very important for Milan. Mehdi Taremi may be a good candidate. He had a successful season in Porto and I believe he can be successful in the Italian league as well. I don't know if Taremi will transfer, but Milan definitely needs a striker.

Mehdi Taremi could really be a good option for Milan to think about. His previous season performance at Porto was really impressive. He scored 31 goals in 51 games in total. He is also making an extra contribution with assists - 14 assists in the previous season. These are very impressive stats for a 30-year-old striker.

Taremi's market value is only 18 million euros now but I don't expect Porto to sell him below his release clause worth. It is 60 million euros. I don't think Milan or any other European team would like to pay that much for him. Especially while he is going to be having his last year on his contract next season.

Liverpool still have no striker signing on their agenda currently. However Firmino's absence must push them to look for a replacement. They can't move on to the next season with only one striker in the end. Nunez's possible injury can cause us to see Gakpo as a centre-forward again. This wouldn't be much ideal for Liverpool at all.

If they don't want to spend so much money on a striker than they can look for a loan option or a favorable low-cost striker as a subtitute of Nunez. Nunez will also need to make some good improvement this season to prove his skills to Liverpool as well.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are really both scouting Brazilian players continually and discovering really great talents there. For example Neymar came from Santos and Vinicius Junior came from Flamengo to the La Liga and made us watch great football. Therefore Brazil is like the second home of these teams and I don't see any other team being able to compete with them about signing such players there.

I heard that Tottenham and Manchester United also wanted to intervene Vitor Roque deal by the way and they even offered an amount near 100 million euros. But the amount doesn't seem realistic to me much. I don't feel like any of those teams would spend that high amount on him. However he still chose Barcelona as he was wishing to sign for them already.

So far we have seen two free transfers by Bayern Munich side which has been their only activity. Konrad Laimer and Raphaël Guerreiro have joined the team in this way. But I must say that these are both really good additions to the team to have a bigger squad depth. But this won't be the only action they take of course.

A right-back and of course a centre-forward seem to be urgent for them to transfer. They have been interested in Kyle Walker for right-back position for a while and they are waiting on the player's decision. He still has one more year left on his contract but we will see. For striker transfer you already know that their priority is Kane. Apart from that Julian Alvarez is also rumoured.

I wonder if Tottenham have a Plan B in case of Kane's departure this summer. Because Bayern Munich still seem determined to sign him. Some rumours say that Tottenham might go for Lukaku but I don't feel like the player would accept any offer from them. He is favouring Inter much more than any team interested these days.

But Tottenham still should be able to find a decent striker to fill Kane's place. They don't need to sign a world star like him as well. Because even though they have one now they still can't win any title. They need to focus on improving their performance as a team and then they can be more successful even with just a decent level striker.
2169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: July 13, 2023, 08:06:58 AM
Luis Enrique's track record as an experienced coach is certainly extraordinary and I personally respect him a lot. When training Barcelona it was 8 years ago and of course now the era has changed, every football development cannot be predicted easily, especially for the champions league, of course every season the winner is always different. Therefore I will be quite happy if Luis Enrique helps PSG win the Ligue 1 title first before targeting titles in other competitions. However, if Luis Enrique manages to turn this team into one to be feared from next season, I think they have a chance to win the champions league even though the possibility is very slim.

Especially due to his big success in the Champions League with Barcelona in the past, I hope he can do the same with PSG as well. He will have a quite strong squad in his hands and have a world star player like Mbappe as well. Mbappe could still leave the team this summer though but let's say he didn't leave for now.

Back then Enrique worked with Messi and now he is lucky to work with another world star. Mbappe can continue to do this best with a high level contribution to bring success to the team. Enrique should just give him some freedom in his game. Because Mbappe is himself when he becomes more creative than being too disciplined to play the same game with the others.

I don't see anyone rumoured to be Milan's new centre-forward these days. Lukaku was rumoured for a short time but it went away. Because Lukaku was prioritizing to join Inter instead. Now Milan don't seem to be in a rush to finish a striker signing. But they had better work on this situation as they are in need of one.

Origi and Giroud can't be reliable anymore. As long as they have big goals in the Serie A they have no other sensible choice other than signing a much more credible striker. A young and talented or a credible experienced striker can be a great use for them. There is already Leao's great contribution and together with it they can be much more productive.

Barcelona have completed Vitor Roque signing finally for a 40 million euros transfer fee. He is only an 18-year-old centre-forward right now. He must be seen as a wonderkid that Barcelona allocated the money they can spend this summer for him mostly. However this transfer won't happen now. The deal is going to be completed officially and he will join the team by July 2024.

It is similar to what Real Madrid did for Endrick from Palmeiras. Not exactly the same though because Real Madrid have no choice other than waiting for him due to age issue in his country. These are all investments into their futures and I wonder which one of these players will develop more.
2172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 12, 2023, 11:08:01 PM
There are two players being prioritized for certain areas. One of them is Onana and the other one is Hojlund. Onana deal is soon being completed though as they have been only trying to find a middle way about the transfer fee with Inter. They have been in need of a striker on one hand and they are likely to increase the number of attempts they make on Hojlund transfer.

Hojlund is a really young striker and maybe he might need quite much time to give the expected performance to the Red Devils. But they seem okay with this when we look at their interest in him.

I think Dybala is doing the right thing by choosing to stay at Roma rather than joining Chelsea. Because Chelsea seem to have an intention to make a bigger striker signing on one hand. It would be doubtful how much time he would be able to play there. Besides Dybala doesn't even have any experience outside Italy.

Therefore we don't know if this transfer would end up well for him. Maybe he would have adaptation problems and his career would go to a worse point. Dybala is still quite useful for Roma now. His release clause is nothing maybe but Dybala wants to stay anyway so there is no need to worry about this for Roma.

I don't blame Tuchel for anything for now. I'm just waiting for next season to see what this team will do for real. Because now Tuchel has a lot of time to prepare the team for a new journey. He had better use this opportunity effectively. As long as they complete the striker signing we should be seeing a more stable team already.

After that it will all depend on using the right game strategies. Tuchel is a Champions League winner manager as you know. He is a really great tactician and it was wonderful how Chelsea made it to the title with him. He would surely aim the same thing this season even though the job is quite difficult. If we see a consistent team then I expect them to be much more competitive in the Champions League unlike the previous season.

The chance to get kane is bigger compared with osimhen. Bayern may ready to increase its budget even higher compared with the last offer.

Harry Kane has said he doesn't want to stay in Tottenham Hotspur this summer. I think he realize that age is no longer in his side about clocking 30 years with no trophy. His contract should official expire by next year but he wants to make a fast move either to Bayern or Manchester city. I Daniel Levy should allow him to go , he has given part of his youth playing days to Tottenham so going to a club where he can celebrate trophy with team mates is a good idea for him.

There would have been no meaning in that if he still wanted to stay from now on. He has just wasted his years at Tottenham while he could have won many titles so far. On the other hand Tottenham chairman was also very stubborn about not letting him go either. Otherwise Kane would have left the team already to join a bigger team.

Bayern Munich have already been making offers to reach an agreement with Tottenham. They are the most likely team to sign him these days. Aside from that I assume you wanted to say Manchester United not Manchester City. Manchester City were interested in him before signing Haaland but not anymore. Manchester United are said to be interested in him now but there is still no offer.

Bellingham is a versatile player indeed. Even though his main position is right at the centre he is more like an attacking midfielder. Because we have watched him playing just like that for Dortmund so far. He can make a big contribution to attacks by goals as well. When we think Real Madrid are playing fast attacking football Bellingham is fitting there great.

Right now we are just waiting for a striker transfer and after that Real Madrid should be good to go for next season. They have already strengthened the midfield quite much. The defense line is also in good condition. At least I wouldn't expect a big transfer to these areas now.

Williams technically has the worst car on the grid. However Albon's work recently definitely deserves to be appreciated. If he can maintain this success in the race as well he can finish this week with even points. But it wouldn't be easy for him while he doesn't have a very reliable car about durability. Still Williams must be very contented with Albon's effort.

Hamilton and Russell couldn't get a good spot in qualifying. However Norris' challenge for the pole position and finishing in second place must have made British supporters really happy. They would like to see one of the British drivers on the grid to finish on podium. I wonder if that can be Norris this time.  Smiley
Looks like they might not have the worst car anymore. I agree that it looked like that for many years but I feel like they figured something out and have a decent car now. It's not just albon, even sergeant had a good result for a while and he did as best as he could when he can. Long story short, I am not saying they are top 5 right away, but they are not the worst anymore neither, they are doing as well as they could hope for and I am expecting Albon to finish within top 10 this week, that is a possibility.

It's a whole long season and sometimes teams that started terrible could end up with a good result, we are seeing that clearly with Mclaren, and we can say that Williams are not on the wrong path neither, they are doing fine.

Yeah maybe I'm wrong about it considering the latest a few races. Especially this race was a sign of some good improvement as you said. Williams was a dominant team in the distant past. I would really like to see Williams reaching a top level to be able to compete harder with the biggest teams in the future.

Alfa Romeo and especially AlphaTauri are the biggest disappointments of this season actually. They are so inadequate about developing their cars at an enough level that they are very slow.

Yeah there is a big space in the squad after the departures' coming one by one. But they are a rich team now so there is no need to worry about enough money to fill all of their places. They will just be busier than they thought for sure in this transfer window. But as long as they can find the right players this is still going to be an advantageous window for them.

It is like nearly every area of the squad needs to be consolidated now. I will be hopeful about Pochettino to bring good players to the team. He has a big level of Premier League experience so he should be able to pick the right players for Chelsea.

The number of rumours about Vlahovic to leave the team is increasing day by day. This time I have heard that there might be a deal between Juventus and Chelsea like 25 million euros cash + Lukaku. If I were in Chelsea's shoes I would have taken this deal and move on. Because they already have no plans for Lukaku as I can see.

After paying only 25 million euros they can allocate even more money for other transfers among their targets. But Juventus would need to convince Lukaku to choose them instead of Inter. I feel like it wouldn't be an easy task considering Lukaku's attitude recently. But one way or another Juventus can lose Vlahovic so they had better have a plan B for a probable striker transfer.
2180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 10, 2023, 09:36:26 PM
I don't even know why Tottenham are interested in bringing Lukaku. There is no need for a striker in the team. There is a substitute player for Kane already like Richarlison. Lukaku wouldn't find much chance to play from Kane in the Premier League. He should join where he can have more time to play.
Lukaku may have a chance to change totenham so much. Totenham has kane but this guy is not able giving trophy for the club. Totenham may think if it's time to sell kane and then move to the lukaku as a new striker.
It may become one of important step that gonna be taken by totenham but the problem is now lukaku was rejecting an offer from totenham.
Chelsea is very angry caused by lukaku has not been showing respect to the chelsea. Chelsea shall sell him as soon as possible.
Lukaku will not be useful for the club next season.

Do you really think that Kane is the problem behind why Tottenham can't win a single title for years? I don't agree with you upon that. Harry Kane has been playing for Tottenham properly since the 2013/2014 season. The last time Tottenham won any kind of title was in the 2007/2008 season which was an English League Cup title.

Apart from that Kane's performance has been wonderful so far. Especially last season was like his peak performance in his career or near that. Because while Tottenham were dropping down to lower positions he was still trying to keep them standing still by scoring so many goals. The main problem of this team is the lack of effective team play in my opinion.
