I think there would be a good talk between Levy, Kane and Nuno about why he wants to leave actually and if they can do anything to help him stay in any way. There needs to be a guarantee if they are gonna win something next season but no one gives that. It would be a long talk between them and it won't be easy for anyone of them.

I think there are lot of factors. Sometimes team also makes a bid or put offer on table that kinda puts player or club into bit of dillemma situation. City feels that they need his services and sees him as an important transfer target and thus had made the bid. And I am sure that has put both Villa camp and player into bit of thinking phase.

Also there are clubs who knows how to treat City.  Play bit hard to get and break their bank 

It was mentioned in that link. They made the signing as gla1ve is about to become dad and thus decided to switch to 6-man roster so that they can tackle this in future. Also possible that they might bench dupreeh. He kinda gets aggressive in game sometimes similar to flamie.. I am thinking of same treatment how Navi treated flamie there. Good thing is that he gets aggressive on himself. 

They needed and Awper urgently and they found one. Let's see how he delivers.

Yeah huge wage is a very good point now that you mentioned it. That's also one factor why other big clubs are swaying their interests away or are not interested. Still we know Ancelotti favours him a lot and I think he is gonna use him now. Now question if Bale is gonna perform like he used to. He played well in Spurs but unfortunately that didn't went well enough to make the transfer permanent.

Bale is enjoying his time wherever he goes so it's not a worry for him.

Hmm.. The formation from UCL final huh? would be a good one if they have a holding midfielder in between too but should work against most of the lower teams in PL.



Bale is gone now. Real Madrid need him now more than Spurs. For Spurs they have lot of players who weren't properly used like for example Bergwijn and they could do a lot with that talent if they start giving good amount of playing minutes. There is Lucas Moura who also wasn't used properly last season.

What I think is that they are possibly maybe thinking of letting Rashford or Martial go in future. Sancho has played left wing in Dortmund mostly and with this big signing I am sure Ole is gonna place him in left wing where Rashford played the whole time in last season and wasn't very productive. On right, it would be Greenwood and center Cavani for now. I think Ole is gonna keep on switching Rashford, Martial and Cavani next season.

Yeah he is ok but maybe City needs a change in bit of the squad and with youth talents in the squad like Foden they had to offload some to get some changes done. They were also trying to offload Mahrez and Silva. It also has to do with if they also need that player. Now Sterling plays on left wing and they already had Son on the left, so I don't think they actually needed with him when they already had a pacy player like that.

He is the star player of Aston Villa and lot of teams have been targeting him like United was targeting him last transfer window and City also has been keeping an eye since last transfer window but now they have made a move. He could provide a good link up in the center-attacking mid.

Here is what going on in Kane-Spurs-City- Kane wants to leave and City are also willing to give 100m+Sterling or other player but Spurs have rejected that bid and wants to keep Kane. They have set target of 160m Euro according to some rumours which City is having "second thoughts" now. So it is not really sure if Spurs really want to keep him or just wanted to play it tough so to get some more money from City. As for Kane's contract, he still has 3 years left on his contract.

gla1ve signed a new contract but other members of the team have contracts till the end of the year so I think that also is gonna resolve at that point. The new Awper is a young and danish player so I think they were looking for someone to communicate easily and get along quickly. Let's see how it turns out to be in upcoming ESL Pro League 14.

These are just kinda warm-up matches. Doesn't have much significance. Only things that is good is for players and coaches as players get to get some chances and prove and try to impress coach and coach can also explore some options or some talents if they have someone that could become useful or has potential.

For Real Madrid it should be crucial as Ancelotti has to work up and build a good defense line and also has to see through the best options he has in mid as well. So a good match to try on tactics and players into use.

I don't think Real Madrid needs him with Benzema another year to stay. They already have lot of young talents coming out great in striker position also. Madrid target is Mbappe and I don't think they are focusing anyone other than that. As for Chelsea, it is Haaland for them. Lewandowski was just an alternate target but I also don't think its gonna go to final that easily. With recent news that has been dropped too now.

*Napoli*

Good signing from Arsenal. They wanted Hector Bellerin replacement when there were rumours about Bellerin leaving Arsenal but now they have signed Ben White and now there is no rumours linked to Bellerin. Guess Bellerin is gonna stay then but feel like eventually gonna move out because I don't think Arteta has made this signing just to make him seat in bench.

Hope these recent signings turn out fruitful for Arsenal.

Yeah he really performed great from Fulham last season. He pulled off some amazing saves in last season but despite his excellent performance throughout the season Fulham were unable to stay out of relegation. Great for West Ham and Areola as West Ham will get a good and talented goalkeeper for this season and Areola also would get good amount of football unlike in PSG where there already good amount of experienced players in GK position like Donnarumma and Navas.

Great find @savetheFORUM with the time thing and Fatfork too with the date and time forgery in the transaction screenshot. No room for him and definitely confirms that Small Rabbit is scammer here. Don't think he can come with any explanation with this.



Yeah he does. I think the flag from Fast Reward would be the best for him for others to warn.

That came down as a bit shocking as well. It was quite surprising when he left heroic in the middle of the ESL campaign without any kind of announcements or so. Guess this was the reason. Even Hunden to Astralis is just a rumour I feel. Anyway that also wouldn't happen now with such taint.

Astralis is a bit different chapter. All of the players and coaches there are legend and I don't think that org would like to lose all of them after device left. I think the org behind would fix this all in the end.

There is lot of time in transfer window and I am sure Konate wouldn't be the only transfer to secure this window. They know that their mid is quite weak with Wijnaldum leaving Liverpool so I am sure they would be surely looking for a strong midfielder and there are lot in market. At this point there is Saul and Pogba rumours going on and I think anyone out of both would be good signing in midfield area.

League race this time won't be that easy. Lot of teams are making good signings like Aston Villa, West Ham, Leicester and that is making the competition bit rough in my opinion, but lets see. Its not that far.. only two weeks left for new season to start.

Surprised that you didn't know that Steven Gerrard is managing Rangers FC. It has been for some time now. He with Rangers broke straight steak wins in Scottish Championship last season.

I am sure re-appointment of Ancelotti back again at Madrid will see lot of players who were not given chance under Zidane again. That includes like players like Isco, Bale and so who were unhappy with Zidane. I think Real Madrid already has got too much players and don't need much signing. I like that they are offloading young players and make up for Mbappe next season.

Even though I think they still have good quality players like Jota, Minamino who can cover their absence. Also wouldn't we be having international break then? So I don't think there would be any club games happening. Konate was a signing them made in defence but can he hold up for the team until Dijk and Gomez returns?

Also I feel like they need good fresh attacking line. Just yesterday reports dropped out that Liverpool have dropped a 100m bid on Federico Chiesa which was turned down by Juventus and now are interested in Mbappe. ^[1]

That could be possible but I think a while ago there was a report that PSG would do anything to keep Mbappe. He was also offered a better contract a while ago and was offered a better deal than Neymar according to reports ^[1] . And he has told that he doesn't wants to sign a contract and wants a fresh challenge ^[2]. What you said is a pretty good trick for the club to push and give them an enticing offer but in case of Mbappe I hardly think so. He is young and so wants a change.

It wouldn't be hard to attain Grealish if they provide some cash deal with player. They are already trying to offload some of their notable players and I think can easily negotiate with Aston Villa. Thing is if Aston Villa wants to let him go? Reports are making the Grealish to City deal like an easy one but to me doesn't feels like it.
