In my opinion, the amount of money they have spent on signing players this season will not guarantee them a successful stay in the Premier League without struggling in the relegation zone. Even so, they must keep trying to realize the dream so that it is commensurate with what they have spent on the transfer market.
Buying new players will bring hope but also troubles. They can not bring instant effects to the team and sometimes they need a few months to play well in new clubs. Bad debuts, too much pressure can kill their career in new clubs too.

I think that’s why every new player should be given a reasonable amount of chances. In addition, he needs that reassurance from the coach. This is because even if he is unable to perform at his highest level at the start, he has nothing to worry about. Everyone can take a bit of time to get settled in a completely different environment. But at the same time, they should also be supportive of the new player and motivate him to do better. But it does become a bit hard when there is a lot depending on a certain player and he does not deliver.

And talking about smaller teams, they should really follow the Strategy and try to win as many matches as they can against weaker opponents. While they should always try to win every game, they should also keep a realistic score in mind.

The disharmonious relationship emerged after Mbappe got some privileges in his latest contract, so it's like making other players second compared to Mbappe who has several privileges. Therefore, at the same time Neymar has habits such as being undisciplined so there is an assumption that Mbappe asks Neymar to get punished. Extending Mbappe's contract by granting some privileges breaks the harmonious relationship between them, and I think in such a case it would be better for Neymar to leave if possible.
PSG needs him for their club reputation and income and with hope that he will contribute for their first Champions League. They also know that it is hard to find another player at same level and young like Mbappe. So they bet on success with Mbappe even they had to sacrifice not only money to pay him higher salary but also to give him unreasonable priviledge over other players.
They bet that it won't create player conflict and it won't bring down the general teammateship and performance of the club. I think they made bad choice but let's see how they will end the new season. If they win Champions League, their bet wortths something but if they don't win it, their bet is bad. I am sure internally PSG currently have and will have something bad.

Neymar will stay with PSG for at least one more season. PSG coach Christophe Galtier has developed his match strategy around Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe. And if these three players can play consistently well, without facing any major injuries, then it is possible for PSG to win the Champions League title. I know PSG management is giving Mbappe more priority now. Because Mbappe is a young player. He will support the PSG team for a long time. But Neymar and Messi can't do that. So PSG is giving Mbappe more opportunities to secure their future.

New Zealand V Scotland

Enjoying New Zealand's batting now. Since Scotland is a weak opponent. And Scotland's bowlers are not experienced. New Zealand will collect at least 200plus in 20 overs today. After 10.5 overs New Zealand collected 122 runs. And lost only two wickets. Mark Chapman scored 48 off 26 balls, and Daryl Mitchell scored 31 off 18 balls. I think New Zealand will win by at least 100 runs today. Let's enjoy the match...

New Zealand set a huge target of 255 today. They collected around 75 runs in the last 5 overs. Scotland players need to score around 12.7 runs per over to win. It is impossible for Scotland players. Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell's performances impressed me. Chapman scored 83 runs off 44 balls, and hit 7 over boundaries. Bracewell was unbeaten on 61 off 25 balls. A very easy win awaits New Zealand.

Manchester City's pre-season match was better than Liverpool, it's no wonder that many predict a victory for Manchester City in their next meeting. But I haven't fully seen the potential of Liverpool itself, in other words it's possible that they will bring out a gun that they didn't do in pre-season,
Pre season games means nothing at all once the league start, everything could be different. In fact, all those teams that do well in their pre season games actually are exposing a glimpse of their next season's strategy. Aside from that, these games served as nothing but entertainment for the fans though so expect alot of things to be different
Pre-season results are not a measure for a team.  But for a manager when his team gets bad results of course it is also very worrying.  Likewise, Liverpool are still achieving unsatisfactory results.  Moreover, in the near future the Reds will face the defending champions of the English League Manchester City in the Comminity Shield with the status of winning the 2021/2022 FA Cup.

However, no team should be judged by the results of friendly matches. But if the team is not able to perform well in the friendly match even after having all the important players of the team then it is really worrying. All team coaches should try to stabilize their team before the start of the season, if the team's goal is to win the title. Because the Premier League is very competitive. If teams lose points in the first few matches, it will become difficult to win the title at the end of the season.

Pogba's injury is very unfortunate for Juventus. Right after they started to be happy about completing the missing piece of the puzzle this happened. Now they will need a midfielder again and they need to keep the ones in the team also. I mentioned ''keeping'' too because Tottenham have an interest in Weston McKennie on one hand. Now Juventus will need him in the absence of Pogba. Therefore I don't expect that transfer to happen anytime soon. Pogba's return date is unknown which is another disappointment for Juventus.
It's a shame because it might take a long time to recover after surgery, but that doesn't mean that without Pogba, Juventus will become weak. But if Allegri does make Pogba his plan for the new season then of course, Allegri needs a replacement who at least falls within the criteria for Allegri's plan to strengthen their midfielder. Injuries to this player have always been one of the most influential constraint factors, especially since Pogba has just returned to the team, whose hopes of appearing soon are very high.

Without Pogba, Juventus will not be weak at all. Pogba is yet to be part of the Juventus team. He has just joined the Juventus team. So even if Pogba misses the first few matches of the season, the Juventus team will not face too many problems. However, if Pogba cannot adapt himself to the Juventus team, it will not be easy for Juventus to win the Serie A title. AC Milan and Inter Milan are strong teams.

Leicester had really good times with Schmeichel. The season that they became the champions in the Premier League is just unforgettable even now. It is time for him to leave as it seems. I understand that he wants a new adventure with a different team after playing 11 seasons for Leicester. Nice is one of the decent Ligue 1 teams hence I think that he would continue to perform nicely there too. Leicester will have only Danny Ward left in the team so they would start searching for a strong goalkeeper like Schmeichel as of now.
Any team that has an interest in Kasper Schmeichel I think it will be good for Kasper Schmeichel himself, because he is 35 years old I think that is an age that does not have to be in a very competitive league like in the Premier League. From the rumors that exist, Nice is a team that is ready to sign Kasper Schmeichel and I really appreciate it because Nice are ready to sign a player at such a senior age. Kasper Schmeichel's contract at Leicester does have one season left, so it doesn't matter if Nice sign him at this time or maybe wait until his contract expires.

I wouldn't say Kasper Schmeichel's performance was bad. However, at the age of 35, it is very difficult to perform regularly in a competitive league like the Premier League. If the Nice team wants Kasper Schmeichel then Kasper Schmeichel should definitely join the Nice team. Because he won't be able to stay with Leicester City for long. And looking for a new team at the age of 37/38, maybe no team will be interested in taking on Kasper Schmeichel.

Juventus VS Barcelona

Juventus vs Barcelona friendly match ended in a 2-2 draw. Dembele scored both goals for Barcelona and Kean scored both goals for Juventus. But the formation of Juventus surprised me. They played in 4-5-1 formation today. Very few coaches fix their match strategy in such a formation. However, Juventus' performance was good enough. Juventus will be a worthy contender for the Serie A title next season.

I don’t think your business will survive if bitcoin is doomed. It would be better if you invest the small portion of what you are earning.
The existence of a business has nothing to do with accepting bitcoin. I think the op is looking to use bitcoin as a payment method for his business besides fiat. Accepting bitcoin payments will not affect or hurt the business, but simply expand the payment method to attract more customers. If the op is living in a country where bitcoin is legal, this is a good decision as he will have another customer for his business, bitcoiners.

Sri Lanka is leading by 323 runs, with 5 wickets in hand. I don't think that Pakistan has got a chance in this match. If Sri Lanka could put another 80 or so runs on board, then it will be impossible for the Pakistani batsmen to chase this target. Anyway, Pakistani fans shouldn't get disheartened. There were enough positives for them so far in this series. And let's not forget the fact that even if Sri Lanka manages to win this test match, the series will be tied at 1-1. And also, they went to this test match without their best bowler.
Score above 400 is always a tough target to chase in test cricket. But, how Pakistan players chased the target of 342 runs reminds me that it can be chased. I'm not into conclusion that Sri Lanka will win the match, because I predicted in favour of Sri Lanka in the first test match and it ended up with an easy winning for Pakistan.

This is a huge lead taken by Sri Lanka and I think they should’ve declared after reaching 400. They should reach the 400 runs lead in the first session if possible. Because if they do they will have enough time to bowl Pakistan out. I really don’t think they should let that chance slip away.

You probably know they bowled Pakistan out quite cheaply in the first innings. And I think it is very possible that they will be able to do that again. So 400 should be a very safe number for them. For Pakistan, none of their batsmen were able to continue the innings after they had started. So next time they should really try to stay at the middle and try to convert those 20s into 50s. And also the 50s through the 100s.
2410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 25, 2022, 01:15:34 AM
A lot of transfer talks going on and this is one of that's being covered quite a lot recently. Even the Marca, who are pretty reliable when it comes to spanish football have an article out about it. It will be difficult for Atletico to sign him though even with reduced wages. So, we'll have to wait and see what happens with Ronaldo. Most likely, he'll remain at United but it is pretty well noted by now that he isnt happy being there.
I think it is just speculation from the media. Although Marca is a famous media in Spain, we can't trust it 100%, they made the news to attract people's intention. They don't know what is happening exactly. There is no any statement from Ronaldo or from his agent related to the rumor of moving to Atletico Madrid. In my opinion, if he wants to return to La Liga, I believe 100% that he will join Real Madrid again. Or if he has no chance to return to La Liga, he surely will consider staying in Man United for 1 season again.

I personally don't think Ronaldo will join Atletico Madrid now. He may want to play in La Liga, and if he plays in La Liga, he will choose Real Madrid. Winning the title with Atletico Madrid is almost impossible. Moreover, Manchester United team is stronger than Atletico Madrid. On the other hand, since Ronaldo's wages are very high, Atletico Madrid will have to sell 2/1 important players if they want to take Ronaldo to the team. So to me, this whole news seems to be rumor.

That's what I mean, I don't care how well Napoli did last season until they were knocked out of the title race. A new season is about to begin and Napoli's key players leave, but Napoli themselves have not recruited players of at least as good quality to replace the positions left. Therefore, if someone says next season Napoli will still be in the title race, I personally don't agree at all because in plain view their quality will obviously decline. But in contrast to rival teams, they continue to be active in this transfer window and slowly see the difference in the quality of their squad for next season.

Almost every renowned team is trying to strengthen their squad. And they are spending money trying to add talented players to the squad. But Napoli is going the other way. They have no intention of taking new players into the team. If Napoli's target is the title, they will surely strengthen their squad and try to solve the weaknesses of the previous season. I don't think Napoli will be favorite for the Serie A title next season.

West Indies are struggling at the moment after a great start. If they don't provide a target close to 320, it's most probably game over for them since India have so many world class batsmen in their current squad.
Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran are in the crease and they are the most trusted players and they need to build a good partnership and they are moving at a good run rate and it is possible they would easily reach around 280 runs but considering West Indies is not having a good bowling line up they need to put a huge score to challenge the Indian batters to win the match which is highly unlikely Wink.

A very exciting match between West Indies and India. It almost felt like West Indies would actually be able to win the match. The West Indies also set a very high target.

However, the batting lineup of India is very strong and also very deep at the same time. India won the match by only two wickets. They also had only two balls left. Axar Patel played really well for India and I think I can safely say that he was the backbone of the win for India. I know it is going to be a touch heartbreaking for West Indies but they can take away many positives from this match. I hope they could have scored a little more.

I'm sure everyone believes that the price of bitcoin will reach $100k, the problem is when that price will occur, many people believe that 2022 will experience a trend every 4 years i.e. the market will be red and we can say that the prediction is correct, and I sure the price of $100k can be reached a maximum of 2 years from now.

It is estimated that the target will be $100k, or it will be a new ATH, which usually happens after halving, and this will occur 2 years from now, which corresponds to when the halving will occur.

Anything can happen sooner or later. Because of the present world situation, inflation, and crisis, I believe that bitcoin will only begin to recover and grow once the economy has been restored.

There are rumors that Lazio is interested in Marcelo. His contract with Real Madrid expired last season. There are rumors that the 34-year old star player wants an annual salary of 2.5 million euros and a 3 year contract. He didn't play for most of his last season at Real Madrid due to injury. Nobody says no to a healthy Marcelo. But Marcelo is a risky transfer right now. It would be a good but risky transfer for Lazio.

Marcelo has rarely been seen on the field in recent seasons. Although he is a very talented player, being almost 35 years old, maintaining fitness is a bit difficult for Marcelo. If his fitness is good then he can play well in the Lazio team. If he is Lazio's defense, their defense will be stronger. Also Marcelo is very experienced. He knows how to perform against strong teams. However, this is going to be a very risky transfer for Lazio, as Marcelo has injury problems.

Real Madrid VS Barcelona

I am currently enjoying the Barcelona vs Real Madrid club-friendly match. Fati-Lewandowski-Raphinha in Barcelona's starting XI. On the other hand, Real Madrid's forward Benzema is absent. Real Madrid is often tricky when performing against strong teams. Madrid is playing defensively in today's match as well. So Barcelona's defenders have to be careful, if Real Madrid can somehow score the first goal of the match, they will play more defensively, and try their best to win the match by playing defensively.

Siraj may have bowled well in the last over. But I will say, we didn't get a good performance from the Indian bowlers in the whole match. I saw the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers against the West Indies. The Bangladeshi bowlers were very successful against the West Indies batsmen, and every match of the ODI series was dominated by the Bangladeshi bowlers. But the Indian bowlers could not control the match. I will expect better bowling from the Indian bowlers in the upcoming matches.
For the BCCI, this was an opportunity to test the bench strength. Bowlers such as Prasidh Krishna and Deepak Hooda got a chance to bowl under SENA conditions, and they did a decent job IMO. Only disappointment for me was Sanju Samson. He never performs at international level, despite being given so many chances. If he wants to become the regular wicket keeper batsmen for India, then he need to prove that he is more consistent when compared to either Rishabh Pant or Ishan Kishan. At this point, I don't think that is the case.

I am really disappointed with Sanju Samson's performance. He is a very talented player. He has been outstanding in almost every IPL season. And BCCI gave Sanju Samson a chance in international matches for his outstanding batting in IPL. And every time Sanju Samson disappoints us. However, if Sanju Samson does not perform well in this series, then his international career may end.

There are only two weeks left for the new season to start. Ajax and PSV are already the biggest candidates for the league title. Ajax are still one step ahead of their opponent as well. I'm saying this by taking the quality of their squads into account of course. It is going to depend on the performances to decide which side is better. Ajax have had a domination in the league for some years and PSV would like to do their best to put an end to it. I hope to see another close fight.

In the Eredivisie league, we see the dominance of Ajax and PSV every season. Basically these two teams fight for the title. And all the rest of the teams lag behind. But I am not sure if Ajax can maintain their stability next season. They are selling some of their key players. So I think Ajax's performance will not be stable at the beginning of the season. If PSV can maintain consistency they will be able to stay at the top of the points table.

India's two openers Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan are batting superbly. India did not lose any wicket even in 12 overs. And they managed to collect 87 runs. Shikhar Dhawan scored 33 runs off 36 balls and Shubman Gill scored 50 runs off 36 balls. If West Indies fails to take 2/3 of India's wickets before 20 overs then India will set a target of more than 350 in this match.
Shikhar Dhawan wanted to get a century with out any pressure but he didn't do it. I must say he batted responsibly. He is one of the reliable batsmen in team. But the match was at the heart of the excitement towards the end. Especially in West Indies cricket they can get this kind of victory. West Indies need 15 runs in last 6 balls, they finally managed to score 11 runs and lost the match. But Siraj in this case bowling very intelligently in the last delivery where West indies managed to take 1 run.

Siraj may have bowled well in the last over. But I will say, we didn't get a good performance from the Indian bowlers in the whole match. I saw the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers against the West Indies. The Bangladeshi bowlers were very successful against the West Indies batsmen, and every match of the ODI series was dominated by the Bangladeshi bowlers. But the Indian bowlers could not control the match. I will expect better bowling from the Indian bowlers in the upcoming matches.

Barcelona is a club that is always unpredictable. When we see the financial slump but there is another flow of funds coming in. That's how the public should not know in detail about Barcelona finances. Just look at the enthusiasm of Lewandowski and Raphinha, do they show a regretful face and question the salary? certainly not
This is precisely where Barcelona is seen as a suitable home for pursuing the careers of players who will shine.
Barcelona is now in dire financial straits. Yet they spent a lot of money on player purchases. Now they don't seem to be able to pay the players properly. Maybe next season they will reduce the salary of their players again. I think it shouldn't. Players like Raphinha and Lewandoski don't question about the salary, perhaps because of the potential for disgrace. But we must not forget that they are professional players, and they play for money.
I don't think it will be easy to deal with Barcelona's finances, but if it's about the future it could be about finances it's not always bad. Don't forget this is a big club, being dragged down by the financial crisis didn't stop them from improving their performance system. We haven't seen his debut with the new squad yet, so we'll see if it lives up to expectations or sinks again. Whatever the Barcelona financial crisis, we see it as a giant club that is currently undergoing a major overhaul.

Barcelona is a renowned club. And we have seen a lot of stable gameplay from them in the past, they have won many titles. But their performance is not stable in the last two seasons. And so in order to perform consistently well, despite the financial crisis, Xavi has brought in a number of talented players this season. Hopefully these players will play well with the Barcelona team. And gradually Barcelona will be financially stable. The management now has to think about how to provide wages to these players.

ETH to $8k. I'll surely dump the remaining Ethereum on my hold if that ever happens. But I don't know if I'll be able to reach that price because as soon as it reaches $5k to $6k, I might have to dump those ETH for the sake of profit as I don't want to miss profiting from it.

ETH rally to $8k is possible but more importantly we need to see bitcoin cross $100k first. You don't have to wait for ETH to hit $8k if that's not your goal, if you already have ETH at a low price and when it hits 5k you're already profitable then I think you should sell. Although I still believe ETH will have a bright future, I am concerned that ETH will become more centralized after it transitions to POS. So we can't say anything in advance, selling when it's profitable is what we should do.
