2901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: July 26, 2023, 08:36:46 PM
If a gambler wins a lot of money or a big amount of money at once some of the gambler sites may held his withdraw or block his account or start investigating in order to not to pay that particular person. They may find excuses to not to pay him but the good sites will never do such cheap things.

Coming to the point whether the casino can become bankrupt I think only the new casinos can have this problem or if those casino being run by the inexperienced persons.

To build a casino requires a sizable fee, even though the casino is an online casino. Usually, business people engaged in this industry will first calculate how much money they need. that means, to build a casino requires sound financial logistics. or, looking for some investors to build the casino. So, it's not as simple as we imagine if building an online casino is easy. at least, they have prepared including the financial logistics.

So, referring to what you said, if the casino is a casino that has a reputation that can be trusted and its credibility can be accounted for. the casino will not make it difficult for its customers, let alone to withdraw the winning money that wins to be theirs. unless it is suspected of cheating. or, must meet regulatory standards in case of large withdrawals. An established casino will not go bankrupt because there are users who win big wins. After all, each casino will limit the betting of its users according to the limits they provide. so, it is unlikely that the casino will go bankrupt because one of its users wins the jackpot. except, that the casino is an illegal casino that doesn't have a license or it could be that the casino is run by people who are not as competent as you say.

Gambling addiction is the worst thing an individual can ever pass through,it is a phase of life that is hard to overcome,and this phase of life is encompassed with emotional hallucination, emotional trauma, and depression,and the moment one gets to the stage of depression,there is every tendency that the individual might commit suicide and die because at that state,he has seen himself as an empty vessel,and someone who is worthless.Their life no longer become important to them,and all this are narrowed down to the very first day they started gambling.It will always remain in their memory,its a day they won't ever forget in their life,and the person that lured them into it will always be blamed.So many  marriages have broken because of addiction which I sometime link it to a spiritual spell,and it's only God that can deliver them from it.Its like drug addiction,if they don't take,they won't rest.So many are passing through this,and there is no remedy to it.What can possibly be a way out if this?

If we refer to the word "addiction", there are many meanings of addiction. without even realizing it, if we also have the potential to be addicted to something. whether it's work, whether it's food, it can also be drugs, even as the theme of the discussion we are addicted to gambling. for me, the word "opium" is very familiar to our lives as humans. however, because the theme of our discussion is the madness of gambling addicts. actually, not much different from other types of addiction. which in essence, addiction is a condition that makes a person lose control of something. usually, it refers to liking too much and being driven by a strong desire or fondness for something.

Refer to what you say, if someone is as addicted as you say. these conditions, we can say that they are very acute addicts. well, what you are saying is only a small part of addicts who do stupid things even to the point of ending their lives. In fact, as human beings, we are blessed with reason and thought. therefore, in order to avoid what you mentioned in this post. a person must be very aware of what he is doing, including in gambling. in fact, to prevent this, gamblers must fully understand the essence of gambling itself.

That in essence, gambling is a form of entertainment in today's modern era. you can have fun with it, without having to always get the victory you want. gamble, according to what you can afford. if you want to earn income, then the answer is work. if you want to be rich, then do business. if you want to have fun and spend a few bucks with it, you can express it in gambling. the point is, don't think too much and hope for something that will make things difficult for yourself later.

They don't want to sell Harry Kane to their rivals. I don't think money is the problem.
I understand why Tottenham are reluctant to sell Harry Kane to another English club.They know very well that he is a good player and selling to another english club will only mean that they are empowering their rivals. Chelsea do not think this way, that is why they have made the mistake of selling Kovacic to Manchester City. Kovacic will be brought back to his best by Pep, and he will become a very good player for Manchester City that can pair with Rodri in their midfield. Chelsea made a mistake.


Spurs and Chelsea's situation is very different.
let's remember, last winter, Todd boehly splurged on the new arrivals. that means, this season they also have to sell some of their players if they don't want to get FFP sanctions. based on information from Chelsea's financial field in the 2021/2022 season, the Blues are at risk of significant FFP sanctions. rumor has it Chelsea have recorded a loss, the extent of that loss could be even worse had they not been productive in terms of player sales. that's why, Chelsea sold several of its players and the ones that were quite expensive were Harvertz and Manson Mount. plus, several other players. like it or not, Chelsea had to let go of several players who were not included in Pochettino's project.

Different from Spurs, Tottenham do not want to let go of the only player who is their mainstay. So far, Levy has been adamant about keeping his star player. in fact, Spurs offered Kane a new contract with a higher salary increase. rumor has it, Kane is not willing to renew his contract.
So, there are two scenarios. Spurs remain adamant on keeping Kane until his contract expires, or they sell him for some new arrivals. Due to the latest rumours, Bayern will make their third bid to Spurs for Kane.

I just came across this now and it is such an interesting thing to read up on. This Public Investment Fund, I learned is valued at over $600 billion. And they have been investing billions in various sports ventures which includes buying Newcastle United Football Club for $408 million and backing the Breakaway Golf League. Like you mentioned this is all a strategic plan with the aim of diversifying the economy and promoting a more secular image of the nation. Will they stand the chance to bid and win for the 2030 world cup and the Olympics in the future?

Ideally, what they were planning was not a sudden event. I really believe, they have planned it very carefully from a long time ago. is it possible, they don't have talks with FIFA in their project plans. otherwise this project probably never would have existed IMO. Rumors even circulated that the Saudis also bribed FIFA to host the 2030 world cup. Well, it's not something foreign to us if there is always a negative side, like when Qatar hosted the world cup.

Related to your question, it could be that it was the initial plan that they carried out in their project. because if we try to examine further the project they are running, it may be further than what we think and know. To be honest, I don't like to link politics and business in football discussions. So, our point comes back to the Saudi Pro League. indirectly, with what has been done by the kingdom and the PIF company, the Saudi Pro League is getting more famous and becoming the concern of football lovers around the world. although in truth, we can't say for sure whether this competition will be fun for us to watch. but at least, that the Saudi League will be above the existing leagues in Asia. in the next 5-10 years, the development of football in Saudi Arabia will increase.

If Mbappe leaves PSG, the attacking part of PSG team will be very weak. PSG's main objective is to do something extraordinary in the Champions League, so they are trying hard to keep Mbappe in the team.
It's too early to judge whether or not PSG's attack line is weak at the moment because in general PSG are still trying to get some players for the line they need. Besides, next season hasn't started yet, so it wouldn't be so accurate if I had to judge it now, even when Mbappe was around, PSG couldn't do much in the Champions League last season, except for only Ligue 1, where PSG was still the strongest to win. So let's see how PSG will fare next season.

In fact, we can't measure PSG's strength map yet in the next season. if in the end Mbappe leaves, Enrique will find the ideal replacement. although it seems that it will be difficult to get players according to Mbappe's criteria, what is certain is that they will look for options according to the team's needs. I think that even though Mbappe remains with PSG, it does not guarantee that he will be able to help his club win the Champions League trophy. ideally, Enrique should bring in a few new arrivals that match the needs of his team.

Some rumors report that PSG are still interested in bringing in Bernaldo Silva, even though their first offer was rejected by City.
Some time ago, PSG were interested in Juventus striker, Dustan Vlahovic. but until now, there has been no concrete proposal offered by PSG. now, rumors suggest that PSG are also trying to hijack Hojlund from Manchester United by increasing their bid for Atalanta, as reported by Romano.
The point is, PSG is looking for an ideal player according to the needs of his team, especially for a center forward. also, it looks like Neymar will stay with PSG. even though he is often injured, he can still contribute to PSG.
well, this summer's transfer market still has enough time lag for PSG to hunt down some of the players they are after. by the way, IMO, Enrique's current task is to rebuild the PSG squad to be a better team than before.

I am personally satisfied with Barcelona's performance last season. They completely dominated La Liga and managed to win La Liga. Hopefully the Barcelona team will improve themselves tremendously this season and try to do well in the Champions League as well.
The hope for Barcelona fans is indeed that, because Barcelona still has to make a better proof in the Champions League besides having to be good in La Liga next season. Next season Barcelona will still be coached by Xavi and he will continue to strive to make Barcelona better next season by fighting hard in the Champions League and La Liga. I also really want to see an increase in performance that is better than before at Barcelona in every different competition next season.

In the 2023/2034 season, Xavi must bring Barcelona much better than what they showed last season. I don't remember exactly, but it looks like there were about 11 matches played underperforming even though they won the game in the end. from these 11 matches, Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal. I'm not saying that they played badly the whole game. however, this team really has had its ups and downs. I can understand that, because Barcelona faced many obstacles last season. even so, there were several other matches that they played with beautiful games.

Well, Xavi must make his squad appear consistent. now, they have additional player ammunition which is believed to add to the strength of their squad. plus, they have a second tier player that can be relied on. So, theoretically Barcelona should be stronger than last season. one more thing, Xavi has to be more creative with the system he implements. because, competition in the next season especially the Champions League is not easy with so many very strong competitors. as a Barcelona fan, I hope they are able to present interesting match after match.

I see that Arsenal is solving this problem, now it seems that Arsenal is making several transfers that allow for an equal quality between the main and reserve players so that if there is a player rotation it will not have a significant effect on the team's performance.
I think it's very likely that Arsenal will do well in the Champions League next season, the quality of this team is increasing now and they deserve to be reckoned with.
Arsenal really shouldn't be underestimated next season, especially in the Champions League because Arsenal themselves are also very aware that they still have to improve on existing deficiencies to be able to wade through an even greater next season. And not only in the Champions League, Arsenal must be taken into account, but also in the Premier League must also be considered from the start of the season, because Arsenal will try to be consistent from the start of the season to fight for the title next season.

Theoretically, Arsenal have become quite a competitive team. although I think they still need to sign a centre-forward who is hungry for goals, but at least now Artera's team should be stronger than last season. Arsenal have deepened their squad by bringing in several new arrivals, they are ready to welcome the new season. although this team is almost dominated by a young squad, however, it should not be underestimated. we can see how they almost won the domestic league trophy, even though in the end the Gunners squad failed to maintain the consistency of their performance. at least, whoever the team that will be Arsenal's opponent later. they have to be ready, because this team can surprise.

One more thing, which we should not underestimate. So far, United have not brought in many players. but that does not mean, this team is not competitive. because after all, Manchester Unitid should not be underestimated. the proof, with the available squad. they were able to finish in 3rd place in the Premier League standings. it could be that if Ten Hag's squad doesn't have problems with injured players, they can go as far as they can in this competition. after all, they have a coach who is no less intelligent like Pep Guardiola. To be honest, I can't wait to see the competition begin.

...therefore Pep Guardiola still needs Kyle Walker's services at least until next season.
Of course, but the problem is that Pep wouldn't need his services throughout the season, he will be picked specifically for certain games, just like what happened last season. I'm pretty sure Walker doesn't want that, he wants to move to a team in which he can start nearly every game, and he knows City can't give him that and this is why they are offering him just a one year contract. If kyle Walker leaves City, it is because he knows that his game-time at the Etihad would be quite limited next season.

I feel that it's not that Pep doesn't need his services, it's more like Kyle Walker wants a change now. It's natural when you have achieved everything for consecutive years, a player always wants a change. It was same with Gundogan and it's same with Kyle. Pep always is happy with his squad but if a player wants to leave then he also doesn't tries to convince the player to stay at City.  With City there will always be lack of playing chances because they want the depth of good players in the squad and there will always be someone feeling left out if Pep doesn't plays him for 2-3 matches.

Rumors of Walker leaving have surfaced as the defender began to feel uncomfortable. eroded playing minutes, so he had to find a new club. Walker's situation made Munich move. Incidentally, the Bundesliga giants are looking for a pure right-back to add depth to their squad. Recent reports said Walker had agreed to join Munich. it's just that Pep Guardiola doesn't want to let go.

Naturally, even though Walker is often rotated from the main starting eleven for Manchester City. but after all, he is part of one of the best players that Pep Guardiola has. but Walker clearly needs proof that he is indeed the best in the squad, one of which is by guaranteeing regular playing time for next season. if City do that, I'm sure he will stay at the Etihad Stadium. but there are no guarantees, it is not impossible if in the end the defender accepts an offer from Bayern Munich. a verbal agreement has been made with the player, Bayern only needs to confirm negotiations with Manchester City. besides that, Walker's age has entered 33 years. maybe, he wants to spend his retirement by continuing to play as a core player.
well, since so far there has been no official proposal claim from Munich, anything can happen.
2909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 26, 2023, 04:14:41 PM
Bayern Munich have realized the importance of signing a solid centre-forward already. The previous season was really problematic for them for this reason. They were away from their consistency and productivity than their times with Lewandowski. It isn't a thing that they can do with a striker like Choupo-Moting or using Mane as a striker.

Kane is just the kind of a striker they would make use of now. He is one of the closest centre-forwards to Lewandowski in terms of role. Kane can even be more helpful for his teammates as well. Because he likes to make assists in addition to his scoring skills as well.

Previously, Bayern were interested in signing Vlahovic from Juventus. however, because of the price offered by Juventus and Bayern's proposal which was rejected. in the end, Bayern again targeted Kane as their main priority. it would be very natural, if Tuchel wants a striker who is very ready to compete in any league. that's why, Tuchel insisted on bringing Kane to Bavaria.

According to Sport Bild, Bayern are preparing for new talks with Tottenham over Kane this week. Their CEO, Jan-Christian Dreesen, will not accompany them on a pre-season visit to Japan so he can focus on further negotiations with Daniel Levy. it is possible, as reported by Bild, that Bayern's strategy will bear fruit. So, let's wait because this negotiation looks like it's going to be the interesting part.

Speaking of Choupo-Moting, he will still be part of Bayern Munich as Tuchel has said.
As for Sadio Mane, he has given the green light to Al Nassr and it looks like negotiations will take place this week.
talking about Kane, like I said. if so, this player will most likely be the answer for Bayern Munich to fill the vacant position left by Lewandowski. we wait, how it goes. because of this transfer drama, it is quite tough.
2910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 26, 2023, 02:16:45 PM
Manchester United's striker shortage is not a big problem right now, I think. Rashford can be considered for that area. If they can get Harry Kane it would be a nice extra deal but I can't imagine Tottenham selling him to a competitor. So I think this possibility is slim. But Hojlund will strengthen them, that's for sure.
Rashford isn't so good in the central attacking position, he is better on the left side of attack, and Erik ten hag would know that if he wants to harness the full potential of his best attacker, he'd have to play him in his favorite position.

Having said that, Harry Kane doesn't seem to be serious about leaving Spurs, if he is; he would have handed in a transfer request, other than that, it would be impossible for Manchester United to try and reach an agreement with Spurs/Daniel Levy for Harry Kane. I don't know much about Hojlund, but i think Atalanta are asking for too much for the Danish international, if they don't reduce their valuation of the striker, Manchester United might be forced to walk away from the deal.

Actually Rashford can operate as a center attack, however, Ten Hag cannot only rely on him. as we know in the last season, when Rashford has decreased, he has difficulty returning to his best form. therefore, Ten Hag wanted a pure striker they could rely on when it came to scoring goals. There are several names on Manchester United's target list in this window, namely Harry Kane, Kolo Muani and several other names. but unfortunately, Frankfurt prices strikernya high. Tottenham is no exception, Ten Hag wants this player. however, the Spurs will not let Kane go to their rival.

Speaking of Rasmus Hojlud, the last time I read news regarding this rumour. Man United will refuse to bid in excess of £60m for Rasmus Hojlund, with reports suggesting several alternatives are being explored including one that has been tested by Erik Ten Hag. but regardless, Man United have agreed personal terms with the Denmark international who is thought to be keen to join the Red Devils. also, Hojlund was United's main target. only, if Atlanta doesn't strike an unattainable deal, other targets will be explored. Ten Hag explores "creative" alternatives. So, let's wait and see how Ten Hag continues with what he wants to get the ideal striker for his team.

~~
Yes, it is okay to join paid groups about gambling and it will depend on the individual. If they still want to join and pay the subscription fee, that's also okay because they will already have their own considerations. I also know that some of my friends have joined the trading group but I don't know how good the group is and whether they can make a profit or loss using trading signals from the paid group.

And if they want to join those paid groups, they really have to be able to find the right group because, with so many paid groups out there especially those on Telegram, they can become targets for scams by irresponsible people. If that's the case, they can only regret it without being able to ask for their money back because the paid group will refuse it.

In accordance with the title of the theme of this thread, if you, I, we are interested in sports betting, and we are interested in joining groups that study sports, especially those that are paid. the first thing we do is dig up all the information regarding the group or channel, whether it can be trusted or not. why is that, as you said and we agree that it is very common with things that lead to fraud. who in the end, just take advantage of our stupidity to spend some money to pay them. as we know, there are many groups or channels that offer tips services in terms of sports betting, especially on the telegram channel.

To be honest, I'm not interested in that kind of stuff. I also don't want to say that all of them are scams, maybe there are some of those groups that really share sports betting tips or tips, even groups that are free without paying. but if I may suggest, to anyone in the community. Instead, to prevent something we don't want, it's best to ignore it.
However, there is a tip I can recommend instead. we can look for groups, or channels that discuss sports, especially those that are private, like courses. the point is, what we aim for is not the gambling, but the knowledge of the sport. thus, we will get to know more about sports. indirectly, we will understand how the sport itself works and how when we are going to do a betting session. with the knowledge and insights we have gained, we don't need to look for groups that predict bets, let alone paid ones.

Out of my own experience I have learnt my lessons, but I don't believe that this opportunity might ever come again because I don't bet often, on a second thought this my story is what makes some people put more interest on gambling.

As per the title theme of this thread, greed can lead to lost bets. Of course, greed doesn't just cause the money you bet to disappear in an instant. however, you will experience regret and guilt. yep, at least, that's usually what happens. I guess, what you said is a very common problem. in fact, nearly all gamblers have had a similar experience. some of them, not infrequently experience it repeatedly. So, this is a very common problem.

Naturally, when someone is faced with big money, in this case gambling, assuming someone has a high probability of winning, psychologically, we as gamblers will choose to take that risk. although in exchange, if we lose, the money we bet is gone entirely. however, if what happens is the opposite. in other words, you get a win in that bet. I am very sure, you will not say that this is part of greed. So, what gamblers need to understand is. that the money we risk, has the potential to lose at any time and we must be prepared for that.
2913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 25, 2023, 08:42:31 PM
Before we get into this discussion, we have to sort out the definition of success.
Well I have a question to the OP, give us a little idea of ​​what a successful gambler looks like. whether he is a professional gambler, or a gambler who always wins every bet. for me this is a little biased, because the key to the word "success" is that someone achieves something with what he does. whether it's a successful businessman, a successful crypto trader, and so on. so I'm a little confused by what OP said in this thread, even a little contradictory to gambling, because the most common risk in gambling is losing.

But if the OP changes the question, can professional gamblers be seen as addicts. it seems, the title of this thread is more ideal for me. because, referring to what the OP said, a professional gambler doesn't just invest money. they also invest time, energy, and even devote all the knowledge they have and are equipped with broad insights. then, are they potentially addicted. maybe, because all things do not rule out the possibility. but at least, they are experts when it comes to gambling.

First of all, who is the one who will give us 5 Bitcoins. if, i convert it into local currency of my country, its value is very much not small. I just want to answer realistically, it's a dream if someone is willing to give 5 bitcoins for free. as I said in another thread, fundamentally, everyone has their own definition of gambling. in fact, they can express according to what they want. let me change your question, if i had 5 bitcoins, would i stop gambling. I will answer it, it seems that for now and at a time that I can't determine, it is very likely that I will still gamble. after all, losing just a few dollars from 5 bitcoins will not make us experience significant losses.

On the other hand, if someone gives me 10 bitcoins. still, it looks like I'll still be gambling. for me this is not about addicts or not, but more on hobbies. it's not how much I want to win, even if I lose. I think the essence can change, that we gamble only for fun and not to get rich in one night from gambling.

They would not want Harry Kane if only Sadio Mane could show the best game he has, but Mane was unable to show his best game last season so Bayern Munich began to shake and look for players they thought would provide the best in their squad. Harry Kane's name also emerged and was considered to fit what Byern Munich needed. I think the change of coach is one of the factors why they are looking at other players, because it is likely that Thomas Tuchel does not really see Mane in the game scheme he will play. But it will be very difficult to convince Tottenham to release the player.

Actually Mane is not a center forward like a replacement for Lewandowski, his main position is to play on the wing. however, due to his age, it is hoped that he can adapt to playing as a center forward. unfortunately, Mane needs time to adapt to his new position. plus, the system used by Nagelsmann is very different from Klopp like when he played for Liverpool. actually, I'm pretty sure if he's given one more season he can settle in pretty well. Unfortunately, Tuchel doesn't want him to be part of his project. because, Tuchel prefers other players. plus, the incidents of Mane and Sane which made his future even more uncertain with Bayern Munich.

Now Tuchel prefers to overhaul his squad, he is more eyeing Harry Kane as Lewandowski's successor. even though, Mane can actually be maintained to play on the wing. However, Tuchel doesn't see him as an alternative. especially to bring in Kane from Spurs, Bayern had to spend quite a bit. to reduce their expenses, as a result Sadio Mane was included in the list of selling players. there is no choice for Mane, even though in fact he could have stayed because he is still under contract until 2025.

A lot has been said about PIF and I have just tried to find details about PIF. PIF is a consortium of investors chaired by Mohammed bin Salman Al-Saud who is the Prince of Saudi Arabia and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It turns out that PIF manages and invests in Saudi Arabia. They are very rapidly developed.  Currently, PIF is one of the largest public investment institutions in the world with an estimated asset value of 620 billion USD or 514 billion pounds. Currently PIF Public Investment Fund owner Newcastle owns 80 percent of Newcastle now also owns 75 percent shares of Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, Al Hilal, and Al Nassr

Source: https://sport.tempo.co

By the way, if I am not mistaken, I have reviewed this more than a month ago. I feel that many people still don't want to know that this scenario is a project of the Saudi kingdom and the PIF company. the aim of this project is not only to bring the Saudi League on a par with other top European Leagues. but also to increase Saudi Arabia's popularity in sports, and aim to host the 2030 world cup later.

On the other hand, PIF has a mission to make Saudi Arabia a center for economic transformation by 2030. this ambition is realized through the mission of actively investing long-term capital to obtain re-financed as sustainable. besides that, continuing from PIF's mission, it also has the goal of becoming a global investment partner and empowering economic development and diversification for the Saudi Arabian kingdom's economy.
The first step they took was successful, in fact the Saudi League became a hot topic in the eyes of the world. in fact, this move is different from what china is doing with its super league. their goal is clear, not only for football, but to open doors for all business sectors starting from football. that is why, several clubs do not hesitate to bring in top European players even with fantastic salaries.

Since two days ago PSG have arrived in Japan to carry out several pre-season matches and we can see that there are so many players brought by coach Luis Enrique to try his new strategy through this match. However, there is indeed something strange, namely that star player Kylian Mbappe is not visible in the photo and there have been reports that Kylian Mbappe was not included in the pre-season squad list this time and he was training separately with several other players. Maybe if we assume this is very closely related to the situation at PSG and Mbappe certainly doesn't want to rush into making a decision with the rumors that have been circulating.
It is now almost certain that Kylian Mbappe will leave Psg. Seems determined to sell it on psg. He did not take part in the Japan camp. There are very few teams that can budget for him at the moment. I think Mbappe can only soften his wishes for Real Madrid.

I'm pretty sure, the fact that Mbappe is not on the list of plans for the Asian tour is not the coach's will. however, the club's management did not include their star players and even trained separately. there are various scenarios if we want to review them, the most realistic scenario is to put pressure on their star player. if, indeed the club is serious about letting him go in this summer transfer window. although actually PSG is aware, that the player's decision is the determinant of extending the contract or leaving.

But if we refer to the drama that has happened, it is likely that the situation will be similar to Ronaldo when he was still with Manchester United. if in the end Mbappe stays, but is not willing to sign a new contract. so you can be sure, he will lose a lot of minutes of playing time. the most extreme scenario, Mbappe won't be played at all in the new season. by the way this is just my assumption, and does not determine the facts that will happen later.
So, let's see the Mbappe transfer saga. because apparently, the closer to the end of the transfer window, the more exciting it will be.

For Arsenal it's a tough test. Last season they haven't felt a moment like this one. Under the circumstances of a busy schedule in some competitions. So there should be an adjustment, and that has passed Arsenal in a few seasons. So Arteta must be ready to rotate players. Maybe he will fight a lot of fatigue and injury. But perhaps the selection of young players is part of the strategy for this season. With this strategy, maybe their stamina and strength are still good enough to fight with a busy schedule.

Season 2023/2024, there are no more excuses for the Gunner. now, they have quite competitive depth. starting from the main squad, as well as reserve players. even reportedly, Arteta is still monitoring market movements and it is very likely that he is aiming for several others to bring them to the Emirates Stadium. but I hope Arteta and Edu focus more on strikers who can be relied on to become goal getters. thus, this team is really well prepared to compete in all competitions.

Ideally, Arsenal's target is the Domestic League competition trophy. I have high hopes as a fan, if they can achieve it in the 2023/2024 season. for the Champions League I can't say much, because the young Gunners squad really needs a tested mentality and experience fighting other strong teams. so, it is not easy for Arsenal to become a challenger in the Champions League competition. here, there were many competitors stronger than them. at least, mentally. but as a fan, I hope Arteta can take his team as far as he can.

Some time ago there were rumors that Kyle Walker would leave Manchester City and join Bayern Munich. But Pep Guardiola has stated that he hopes Kyle Walker can stay in Manchester City and we are even ready to fight to keep him so that no club can touch him. I think Pep Guardiola's actions were very appropriate to retain Kyle Walker and if we think his role is still very important in maintaining the defense of Manchester City.

Kyle Walker is a right-back with incredible pace and if he were to leave, who would replace him? even in the champions league against Vini, he was the one who managed to stop him and in the England national team he also managed to stop Mbappe at that time. So I think now Kyle Walker has more of a role to stop players at high speed because he is able to keep up with these players.

So far, the Kyle Walker rumors have been sidelined a bit with some other big news. We heard that Bayern wanted this 33 year old defender. As we know, Bayern are looking for an experienced right-back because Benjamin Pavard has the potential to leave. Walker is seen as a suitable player after spending six successful years with City.
if I'm not mistaken, previously Romano reported that it was claimed that Kely Walker had made a verbal agreement to join Bayern Munich so that the two clubs now only need to determine the transfer price.

But referring to Romano's tweet a day ago, Guardiola hopes Kyle Walker stays with us. I heard the comments from Tuchel about Kyle, I would say the same. it is clear, that Kyle Walker is an important player figure for Pep Guariola. like Gundohan, previously Pep said the same thing. the difference is, Gundohan left on a free agent. Walker, meanwhile, has one year left until his contract expires. however, it seems, my guess, that the England defender will be leaving to join the squad german giant. moreover, they had formed a verbal agreement to join Bayern Munich. I'm sure if Bayern are done with Kane, they will soon continue with the Manchester City defender.

After some time ago being announced as a new Real Madrid player and having started training for pre-season matches, it seems that Arda Guler has not had much luck. He experienced discomfort in one of his legs after training and it is certain that he will not defend Real Madrid later against Manchester United, moreover the club also does not want to take risks if it forces Arda Guler's current situation. If we look at Real Madrid against Milan a few days ago, we also didn't see Arda Guler included in the starting line-up or coming off the bench, so it happened exactly the day before Real Madrid's pre-season game started.

Interesting, I want to see this young player playing with El Real. However, it seems that it doesn't matter if he has to miss the friendly match against United later. because, friendly matches are not serious matches. after all, if he recovers quickly there is still another match, namely the friendly against Barcelona.

Speaking of Arga Guler, don't get your hopes up if this midfielder will become the main starter after the league competition starts. besides being very young, there are many other midfielders who want to become Real Madrid's main starting eleven. ideally, Don Carlo would have made him a second line-up. except, Arga Guler shows his talent and skills. maybe, Ancelotti will give him more playing time. talking about the Madrid vs Milan match, there is something interesting for me. it looks like Don Carlo started experimenting with his systems and formation patterns. it could be that if the competition has started, Anceloti will try to change the pattern he applies besides his mainstay 4-3-3 formation.
