Thomas Partey isn't really a good player, if he's good, Arteta wouldn't sign Jorginho from Chelsea, after Jorginho joined Arsenal, Arteta is prefer to let Jorginho play than Partey. But it seems Jorginho is not the best player in central midfielder, so Arteta looking to sign Rice even though the price is two times higher than most of their players.

West Ham is looking to earn more money, that's why they need to wait the next bid from Manchester City. I just feel Rice might want to join Manchester City over Arsenal, so it's win-win situation for both of Rice and West Ham.

Holy Smokes! Thomas Partey is a good player of course, my guess is you didn't even watch him play for Athletico Madrid, because this is a player that helped Athletico Madrid win the La Liga during his stay with that club. With Arsenal, he was the best single pivot, injuries were the cause of his absence, else they wouldn't have missed out on winning the Premier League.
Well, it could be that Jorginho, suits Mikel Arteta's style and positional plays to Thomas Partey. Your idea seems pretty cynical.

Declan Rice shouldn't look at all these bids, he should pick a side, where he'll have a full time playing and Arsenal is that side. Yeah everyone wants to work with Pep Guardiola. Also, the price valuation on him is insanely high.

Alegri didn't have a bad performance in Juventus and he got good results with his team the only reason why Alegri and his teams couldn't get the place at the top of the table was mostly because of the points they lost this season due to the penalty and this penalty definitely had a bad effect on this team atmosphere, otherwise, they could get the ticket to the champions league.  
I think Allegri will stay in Juventus for another season.


Allegri did wonders with the many injured players he had, I really like him as a coach (as I like Spalletti) he's someone who works and doesn't complain and does his best with what he has
he's not like Antonio Conte who complained every day about something he didn't have

There's no need for the comparison babo, Allegri knows the system of Juventus more than anyone, he's won back to back and back trophies for the club before leaving finally after attempting to win the Champions League against Barcelona failed.
Last season, he did good despite all of the injuries and points deduction.

Antonio Conte is not the only Coach to make complains about Tottenham Hotspur,  Jose Mourinho did made mention of the same thing about the management refusal to fund for better players and how they'll remain at the same level if they don't do what's mandatory.
Mind blown you even said it, Antonio has always performed in whatever team and club he signs for, you deserves much more than this criticisms.

I'm quite happy to see the voting board in this thread has been updated. But looking at the results of the temporary voting, it seems that Barcelona will still gain more confidence in securing the title again in Laliga next season.
I personally also chose to vote for Barcelona. Last season I chose Real Madrid if I remember correctly. But this season I have doubts with Real Madrid who have even lost Benzema. even though they have brought in a striker to fill the void left by Benzema. but I don't think Real Madrid has yet to get a player who can replace Benzema's role.

It is reported that Mbappe may come this season to Real Madrid to fill the Real Madrid front line so that he remains sharp. I look forward to hearing more about this. So if Mbappe really comes to Real Madrid. then maybe Real Madrid will be seeded again.

It's too early to tell what the vote shows - too few votes:

Barcelona   - 5 (71.4%)
Real Madrid   - 2 (28.6%)

71% for Barcelona  Grin Bookmakers have more serious assessments and they consider Real to be the favorite:

Real Madrid 2.10

Barcelona 2.35

It will be interesting to see how these quotes change if Mbappe ends up at Real Madrid this summer and not a year later.

I'll go for Barcelona to successfully win and defend the La Liga next season, Xavi Hernandez did so well to win the league as well the players showed desired that they really wanted to win the trophy. Once again Barcelona to win, they have signed IIkay Gundogan, hope's would be for them to get a single pivot to replace Busquet and they be good to kick off for the Pre-season.

Real Madrid had the capacity last season, but they over relied on Karim Benzema and he was Injured during big games also failed them. They've signed some quality players but still not convinced they'll win the League. Vini deserves the new deal and the new jerseysfor Real Madrid, he's a top player.

I completely supports Glazers leaving. Simply their fans are not satisfied with the way they are running the club. It's frustrating to see the lack of necessary movement in the transfer market while other clubs are making significant moves. It looks like every summer, they're just observing, targeting and monitoring for something to happen. So, I do believe that a serious transformation is necessary at Man United. Man United need an owner who truly understands the club and has a clear vision for its future. Fans are fed up with the current management and their inability to make the necessary changes to bring the club back to its glory days.

I believe Sheikh Jassim's interest in acquiring ownership of Manchester United is quite serious. According to several reports, Sheikh Jassim has made multiple offers to the current owners, the Glazer family. Based on this, I assume that Sheikh Jassim genuinely desires to purchase shares in Manchester United. If this were to materialize, it would further add to the list of clubs acquired by individuals from Arab countries in the English Premier League.

Regarding the current transfer market, it seems that the process of acquiring ownership of the club is one of the obstacles causing Manchester United to proceed cautiously. It is likely that they will carefully consider the players to be sold and those to be acquired in order to have a strong chance of winning the EPL title next season. It is worth noting that they have not won the EPL championship in over a decade. Hopefully, Erik Ten Hag can bring this ambition to fruition in the upcoming season.

I still can't wait to see him ( Sheikh Jassim ) acquiring Manchester United soon enough, the entire process is so tiring, the glazers are just so stubborn. He's currently being said to be in front. I ernest wish is that he finally gets the club.

I'm glad Manchester United had a great Coach, but this is the right time to backup the coach to sell flops and drop worthy players capable of fighting for Manchester United. Also, Manchester needs two quality midfielder's, so much delays with mount mason, I'd even want to see a move for James Madison over Mason Mount. Manchester United needs quality before the start of a new Premier League season.

There are reports that Bayern Munich have submitted an official offer of €70m+add ons  to Tottenham for Harry Kane as he is entering the final year of his Tottenham contract. Honestly I think Spurs shouldn't be selling Kane for more than €80M. They've extracted all the performances in the world from him, He's old, running out of contract & a youth product. I think its a win win for them, they'll have to replace Son & Kane later if they let things progress till next season.

As I read from The Athletic, Bayern Munich have made a written "formal" bid for Kane's contract, their bid being £70m plus odds-on for an unspecified sum. the base fee would equate to around £60 million, which seems low for a player of Kane's pedigree, but takes into account his age (he will turn 30 at the start of the new season) and contract status.
Well, Bayern have made the first concrete move for England's all-time leading goalscorer. their interest was boosted by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel. I also read another report from Fabrizio Romano which said Bayern had made a formal bid for Harry Kane. fixed fee close to €70 million plus add-ons, not enough to convince Tottenham. formal proposal was rejected. Previously, I was sure that Spurs would not let their striker go for anything close to £100 million.
Despite the rumours, Kane is willing to leave in this summer's transfer window. To be honest, I don't know what Levy was thinking, and should be, Spurs let Kane go because Kane's contract will expire next season. so roughly, whether Bayern will make a follow-up bid.

Daniel Levey would love to accept bids from Bayern Munich over Manchester United, Though, Harry Kane as I read weeks back has said he'll choose a move to clubs in the Premier League over the once overseas. As this current bid from Bayern Munich, I hope he accepts it immediately, he'll not struggle to adapt, as it's the same tap in goals scored by Lewandoski he'll score. He's just a big shark in a small tank at or ad a Tottenham Hotspur player. There are bigger seas for him to go swim.

He'll be the perfect option for Bayern Munich to lead the attacking line. Currently Manchester United are not ready to get him for the price placed on him, he shouldn't hesitate to accept Bayern Munich.

Mbappe's case become even more complicated as per some news that were coming from PSG. Even it's also involving mbappe's mother as reported by marca
https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2023/06/23/6495b025ca4741095b8b45ce.html



It seems like that's become the main reason why there are rumors if PSG wants 250m for him. I don't even think PSG wanna give him that big amount of money.
Mbappe is now threatening PSG. PSG is in a big lose if PSG was not selling mbappe right now caused by he will be leaving from the club with a free agent but at the same time PSG must have paid very big compensation for him.

That makes me feel curious about what's agreements between mbappe and PSG in the past.
The worse mistake PSG will be making is letting Kylian Mbappe leave the club for free next year. I am sure they know the consequences of letting him out his contract, they will be losing so much rather than making any profit. It will be highly profitable if they could get Real Madrid to sign him this summer or in January but preferably this summer with them not facing pressure to sell for a lower price.

Consider it this way, it'll be the worst decision for Kylian Mbappe, to see him extend his contract for another four or five years, he already missed the golden opportunity to work for Real Madrid last season, this is another, I'm not sure he'll want to miss out on this one.
Great player who deserves playing for Real Madrid and La Liga.
As for Paris Saint Germans, they've had so many superstars in the past, Kylian Mbappe won't ne yhe last of them best thing to do right now is to let him go and work with the player's you have. It's difficult to tie a player down when you want to see him leave the club.

Sunday's gossip:

Manchester City are considering a bid for Paris St-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi, 24, and "will not hesitate" to pay a big fee for the Morocco international. Manchester City is getting stronger for the new season and another top footballer is leaving PSG.
Manchester City have agreed personal terms with RB Leipzig's Croatia centre-back Josko Gvardiol, 21. According to all available information, Guardiol will become the most expensive defensive footballer in history and join another Croatian in the team, Kovacic.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea will hold meetings with the agents of Napoli's Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, 24, next week over a potential move to the Premier League. Everyone wants Osimhen, but what will he decide in the end?  Grin
Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has asked the club to bid for Barcelona's Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 26, after pulling out of the race to sign England's Declan Rice, 24, from West Ham. Good job for Bayern, but will Barcelona agree?

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/66007856

I'll want to see a switch to Real Madrid over Manchester City for Hakimi, Real Madrid needs a young and experience player for the right fullback position. But, everyone wants to work with Pep Guardiola, this might still turn out interesting.
Josko Gvardiol has been linked with top European side's ever since the Fifa World Cup Competition kicked off, glad to see he took a great decision to work with Pep Guardiola, great player honestly.

I'll say it even a million times, the final destination for Victor Oshime would be Chelsea, the case of not being involved in any of them European Competition is just the flaw to his move this summer, once Chelsea returns, it'll be a done deal between Osimhen, Napoli and Chelsea.   Barcelona are financially unstable, it's either they take it or leave, bit since the player is loyal to Barcelona, I don't think it'll get finalized.

According to British media, Bayern Munich have reportedly backed off in their bid to bring Kane to Bavaria. however, according to BILD information, there appears to have been a turnaround. And even if these rumors are true, I'm not sure if Bayern will be willing to pay the price Spurs are asking for their striker. in fact, I'm not sure if these negotiations will reach an agreement from both parties. except, if Spurs lower their price tag for Harry Kane. that way, Bayern can bring Kane to the Allianz Arena. even that, if Harry Kane is willing to join Bayern Munich.

But by the way, ideally Kane should choose a career with a new club if he wants to win trophies in various competitions. with Munich, at least he can have more potential to achieve as much as he wants. or, if Kane chooses to go to Old Trafford. Kane, could play in the Champions League again next season. Plus, under Erik Ten Hag, Kane could become a sharper player than he would have been at Spurs. unfortunately, it is very likely that Kane will stay with Spurs. So, we agree with what @Avirunes said.

That's an insane price honestly, Tottenham Hotspur are not seriously ready to make negotiations, if really Harry Kane wants a move then he should indeed force his way out just like Manchester United reportedly wants him to do.
Bayern Munich back off from the deal a long time, the move to Manchester United seems alive I still don't believe he'll be a Tottenham Hotspur player nenxt season. Manchester United should have made a chase but still, the glazers are reluctant over the sale of the club to the  Qateris.

Harry Kane is a good player, all he needs currently is a chance to work with a trophy winning side, and it that be Manchester United? For a player that scores more than, thirty goals a single single and having Bruno Fernandez behind, United are sure kf winning the tittle.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich have completely different gameplay and match tactics. This is the reason why Sadio Mane has not been successful with Bayern Munich despite his excellent performances with Liverpool. Liverpool's Mane has played well in every match. Mane has strengthened the bond of attack with the midfielder.
I don't understand why a sensible football analyst would expect a player from a different club to begin his performances, just immediately when he got signed...how's that even possible?? He needs time and some more edifications to be able to understand the routes and gameplay in that club.
The player's communication skill, alignment and understanding is really important since that's all they'll need to create a connectivity in pitch. A clear example is when Ronaldo made his debut to man United; that wasn't favourable to him cus he's got learn to play with the new breeds too. Well, if mane is going back,then that'll also be a good idea.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

Some players just blend in immediately, some don't especially those player's who're not mentally strong up in the head, who give in to pressure from the fans and social media.
Ronaldo? You mean Cristiano Ronaldo? Screw that shiit! Not Cristiano Ronaldo, he did blend immediately, at Manchester United? The 92 set of players ( Not all of em, Roy Keane though had his back like eczema )  just don't want him around, so they did all they Internally to fight him.

They're currently fighting and pushing for Rashford to be face of England, we'll see, I might be a Manchester United fan, but I still want Marcus to do better, score more goals. And Fvck the new breeds who refused to listen to advice. Not just happy with the way Ronaldo left Manchester United! We don't always get what we want, that sucks.

Sadio Mane is a mentally strong player likewise physically he's not just having enough game time, I'm still not sure he'll have a great career at Bayern Munich. He should plot his exit honestly. The talks with the board are not something I think they'll stand by.

Arsenal leaded the race for a long time for Declan Rice but now Man City just swooped in and made things complicated. West Ham now can ask for more cash and i think they will do that. Maybe Man City is just messing with Arsenal but now the player can go either way and if i was Rice i would go to City and win trophies

Going to City to win trophies is not all there is to football. It's not that simple. Manchester City has Rodri who is the best DM in the world right now and he's not old and is not slowing down anytime soon. Only Kimmich can be compared to Rodri right now in terms of the best defensive midfielders, and even Kimmich is not a single-pivot midfielder.
Rice can go to City but it's a certainty that he would be a bench player. I don't care how good he is, he's not benching Rodri, not while Pep is the coach, and while Pep is the coach. A double-pivot midfield with two natural single pivot is not ideal.
In Arsenal, Rice would be an undisputed starter and will develop into whatever he wants, He's still young and can always leave Arsenal for another team in the future.

Exactly my Opinion Yesterday, Declan Rice would be a better player and play for complete 90 minutes when he picks Arsenal over Manchester City, it's every players dream to work with Pep Guardiola but I'll consider him blind if he sides with City.
And with Manchester City playing double-pivot midfielder's, they'll turn and change shape and movements, from a more attacking side to a defensive side which is completely different from what Pep Guardiola plays.

Declan Rice should be wise, he'll flourish at Arsenal, and with Thomas Partey leaving, It's certain he's the number one Defensive midfielder option.

......
Until now, they have finally chosen a new coach for Napoli, namely Rudi Garcia, which is arguably beyond predictions. ....
In fact, the decision to make Rudi Garcia as a coach was beyond our predictions. because previously Napoli had many lists of coaching candidates. but without my guess Rudi Garcia was the one chosen. The former Al-nassr coach is indeed quite good and has even led Al-nassr to second place in the SPL. And I hope Rudi Garcia can maintain the consistency that Napoli had last season.
Yes, right. It's a decision beyond our predictions. He wasn't even on the rumored list before, like Enrique, Cnte, Nagelsmann, and several other famous names. Napoli really can give quite a lot of surprises. But it's also interesting. Rudi Garcia's decision to accept the offer was of course a considerable consideration for him. What's more, he has to carry out quite a heavy task and burden, namely the Serie A title. Of course, his demands will be the same. But now the situation is different. So, I personally am also quite curious about the future results of Rudi Garcia's upbringing.
Rudi Garcia will obviously bear a heavy burden. Because last season Napoli managed to win the title in Serie A. So Napoli fans will certainly want the same thing in the next season. Everyone will be curious about every step that will be taken by the new Napoli coach, Rudi Garcia.

Lukaku, who is already comfortable playing at Inter Milan, certainly wants to stay at Inter Milan longer. And currently the negotiation process between Inter Milan and Chelsea is still going on quite complicated. because Chelsea wanted to sell Lukaku but it turned out that Inter Milan only wanted to maintain Lukaku's status as a loan player. And Lukaku, who has indeed rejected an offer from an Arab club that offers a large salary, deserves a thumbs up because he is not tempted by money but he prefers to build a reputation by continuing to play in European football. And currently there are 2 Chelsea players who have rejected offers from Arab clubs.
I don't know why Inter Milan doesn't want to buy Lukaku. I think Lukaku deserves to be the main player in Inter Milan, he already proved his quality and his contribution. Lukaku is still a productive striker and his market value is only around €40m. I'm sure Inter Milan won't get difficulty spending €40m, they also need Lukaku because they only have Martinez in the striker position after Edin Dzeko left the club. If Inter Milan has a respect for Lukaku, they must sign him in this transfer window.

I'm sure Lukaku doesn't want to play in Saudi. He seems comfortable playing in Serie A. If Inter Milan doesn't want to sign him, I guess he will be waiting for an offer from other Italian teams.
I heard other news that AC Milan is also interested in Lukaku. So it's going to be really interesting. But it seems that Lukaku personally is more comfortable playing at Inter Milan. I think Inter Milan should be bolder to buy Lukaku from Chelsea. Because AC Milan might suddenly appear and intend to buy Lukaku.

There'll be enough playing time for him at Inter Milan, why move to Ac Milan? Eden Dzeko also leaving so there'll be enough playing time for him.
I still haven't read any news of Romelu Lukaku being linked to Ac Milan. Chelsea are not also ready to have him back, my guess is he'll have another season long loan spell with Inter Milan where his hearts belongs.

AC Milan and Newcastle completely done with the sale of Tonali from Milan to Newcastle. As for Inter Milan, they're having internal talks with Manchester United for the potential sale of Onana.

Yes, at this time Gundogan is no longer young, but on the other hand, he is still quite good and contributive. At Man City itself, he is one of the key players. But even at that age, for Barcelona, Gundogan will certainly have a very positive effect. Especially with his ability as an all-round midfielder, at least, he might still be very helpful for up to 2 seasons later. So, this is also an advantage for Barcelona by getting Gundogan this season to strengthen his squad especially with a free transfer.
İlkay Gündoğan is 32 years old, surely he can play for 1-2 seasons more. A player still can perform with his best until 35 years old, so no problem with his current age. The problem is how he can adapt with Barcelona game style. But I'm very sure that it will be easy for him to adapt with Barcelona game style since Guardiola and Xavi tactics aren't so much different. I also believe that Gündoğan probably give positive impacts on Barcelona. We all know how good he played in Man City last season, he also will do the same in bBarcelona for the next season. I just hope he won't experience an injury problem.



With the way he plays, and how he's technically smart and swift, he'll play and adapt speedily to the way Barcelona or Xavi Hernandez wants. Infact I see no difference from what they both play ( Manchester City and Barcelona ) it's just that Xavi Hernandez still not at the level of Pep Guardiola.

He'll adapt, and in big games against Real Madrid, he'll flourish just the way he did when they faced Real Madrid during the Semi finals.
Manchester City should miss him, but when a player leaves Pep Guardiola, it seems like the player misses Peps team! Good example Raheem Sterling, though, Gabriel Jesus and Cancelo all doing great.

Real Madrid have started looking for a replacement for Karim Benzema at the moment, and I think Real Madrid needs a few replacements for the line Karim Benzema has put in before. In the next season Real Madrid will probably have more young players than senior players in their team so that Real Madrid's strength next season will probably be very different from the previous season. Although in terms of team strength it is still uncertain now, whether it will really improve or not for next season.
Real Madrid next season will surely be better than this season, they lacked players last season but in this transfer window they have made an effort to sign some players that can really add quality to their side, an example of such player is Jude Bellingham from Dortmund. Also to temporarily replace Karim Benzema, they have loaned a player from Espanyol by the name of Joselu to fill the shoes until they can get Mbappe who they have always wanted. Real Madrid will be stronger, and just like every other season will also be a challenger for the champions league title.

They still don't look solid and scary, they still look dull the me, I still don't think they have a chance of winning either of the La Liga or Champions League.
They must have acquired some names which are great names worth playing for the Santiago Bernabue but Barcelona will successfully retain the Spanish League once again.

Even with Karim, they didn't score enough goals. Now without Benzema, I want to see how Joselu and Endrick displays in them debut season for Real Madrid. Don't forget Barcelona won them three of not four times this season.
3414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: June 22, 2023, 02:36:03 PM
England are very dominant in their group now. They even defeated Italy away as well. I think we can already assume they will finish the group as the leader. This win over North Macedonia by 7-0 isn't surprising at all. There is a huge quality gap and England just showed it in action. Saka's hat-trick was really lovely to watch and Kane also played solid as always. The qualifiers stage is easy for them maybe but they need to keep this up in the main tournament as well. Because they have no titles achieved in a Euro tournament in their history.

In fact this team have such a capacity to win this tournament. They have a squad full of very skilled players. It is all about management as a result. Southgate has been managing them since 2016 but there is still no achievement. If he fails again I think they should start over with a new coach.

Just to be clear, if you think they're winning a trophy with Southgate as manager then, that's the area you get it all wrong. ( Yeah I know you didn't say so )
Garreth Southgate is the another Harry Maguire, they have nothing to offer, they're just being protected. They have a great squad but they can't win because they don't have a good shepherd to lead the sheep's. ( This ain't bout sheep's )

Great game yesterday by the way, beautiful goals and good team work. It's a game you can predict the end evens before the kick off.
In thr first half, they just lacked creativity, wasn't comfortable with the usage of Alexander Arnold as a midfielder. Southgate no different from these half baked coaches in Africa.Super Saka, Harry Kane and the rest of the squad...... Fantastic!

This is exactly my point yeah. They need a good shepherd indeed. I don't want to believe that England board can't just convince any solid coach to manage them. It feels like impossible when I think how capable squad they have. It is just full of world star players I mean. Hence I think they have been doing it on purpose. They just don't care about having a World Cup or a Euro title very much. They just don't want to fail big time with a squad like this in hand.

However I believe this must change in the near future immediately. I assume the fans also want to experience the feeling of being champions. The only title won by England is the 1965/66 World Cup title.  Sad

A manager like Pep Guardiola is what I want for them, you already know the qualities he had as a coach, why not pay him all it takes to manage those talented player's, is that too much for them to do? I envy Brazil hearing they'll get to sign Carlos Ancellotti before the next world Cup, despite that being special, I still do think there's a level of truth innit.

England needs a top notch manager, not one of them ex player's, a tactician who knows how to make a bad game go right and a bad player turn good for the squad. They can do better with all of those heavenly talents.

I can't understand why Arsenal's plans have to be tripped up by other teams if Declan Rice later transfers to Manchester City. However, the competition for Declan Rice has only just begun and now it remains only for the player to decide which club to play for next season.
According to reliable sources, Declan Rice doesn't mind going to either Arsenal or Manchester City, what would decide the club he moves to is how talks progress between West Ham and the two clubs respectively. Arsenal have sent two bids to West Ham which have both been rejected, City are yet to make any official bid, but we know how strong they are financially; thus i'd not be surprised if City make just one bid to West Ham and it'd be accepted. The hierarchy at City know how to do good business and they might beat Arsenal to the signing of Declan Rice, just as they did to them to win the EPL title last season. Grin Tongue

Well, so many speculations of Westham Midfielder Declan Rice. In my own view, he'll be a better signing for Arsenal or Manchester United including Chelsea. Manchester City has Rodri and also Kalvin Philips who joined from Leeds United last season. There'll obviously be no chance or enough space for him to play. I mean enough game time.

With the absence of Thomas Partey soon, he'll serve as the potential pivot for Arsenal. For Chelsea, if the deal between Caicedo and Chelsea sinks, Rice can be a good partner in midfied with Enzo Fernandez and whoever they have to play the attacking midfieder position.
Man United?
I don't fancy him, but he has height and knows how to intercept and tackle very well, but if Erik Ten Hag wants him, who the hell am I? Lol. I'd champion a move for France international Rabiot over Rice.

It has been confirmed that Ilkay Gündogan will go to Barcelona with a two-year contract and the possibility of an extension in the future, Barcelona seems to be very aggressive in bringing in this player because his free agent status will not make Barca spend transfer funds.

With an initial two year contract and the possibility of an extension, I think he will end his career at this club very well, he has the ability to contribute and adapt quickly to new club, so seeing him directly in the starting XI at the start of the season will be possible.
Ilkay Gündogan is making a lot of sacrifice just to be at Barcelona. It is my sincere wish that it is worth it and that he won't regret the huge money he gave up to at Saudi Arabia just to be Barca. Another expectation which I have for him is that he remains in form. I also wish to see Xavi do a beautiful work with him in managing this huge insanely talented footballer. Guardiola has given positive feedback about this player - he's ability to play multiple positions and he looks to me as the perfect team player. At the end of his time at Barca. i would love to hear Xavi say the same thing too about him.

Great midfielder, the numbers and creativity on the pitch would speak for him, disciplined player, technically, smart and a modern player all of the top sides would want to join em if not for his age.
Money is not everything for every player, infact Barcelona deserves such a player and Gundogan also deserves representing Barcelona.

Xavi still needs a replacement for Sergio Busquet, he's not recruited a player for that position and also Gundogan won't be a great fit for that position if he was bought to replace Busquet. The name Joshua Kimmich have been mentioned severally, but the player have no plans and intentions to move to Barcelona.

According to some German news and SPORT1, İlkay Gündoğan is going to join Barcelona and everything is done.
He had offers from the Arabian team and he had offers from Manchester City to extend his contract but in the end, İlkay Gündoğan showed the green light to Barcelona.




Even before the season ended I knew he was going to leave Manchester City, tracked back to that game he missed the penalty and how Pep Josep Guardiola reacted, I knew they had Internal issues and would grace the chance to leave during the transfer window.
Man City made moves for Kovacic early even before the finals.

I'm no City fan, but I'll miss IIkay Gundogan honestly, he's so much of what is called creativity. But it does seem like Pep Guardiola won't miss him at all. He'll rather be a better help to Barcelona and bring balance and experience to the midfied. I'm sure of Barcelona still defending the La Liga next season.
Gundogan deserves everything that has to do with Barcelona, another player I expect to make the swith you City is Bernado Silva, fantastic player.

I saw one of your posts about your diet and it made me adjust my consumption of inorganic food and junk.

Thanks for that comment, it encourages me to be outspoken and politically incorrect. We have a number of problems as a result of the "grand reset" that appears to be accelerating. The destruction of farming and the increasing scasity of healthy food is a major concern of mine. The theft of our assets and savings are another problem. We are fortunate as members of Bitcoin Talk in that we are aware of Bitcoin and its use, and this can be a part of a wealth protection programme. The food issue is much more difficult. We can do a bit by avoiding sugar and seed oils, but toxic chemicals and nano particles are much harder to avoid, even if you buy so called organic foods.

I'm also concerned by the brown new deal being promoted by the greenies through their net zero policies. The only thing that is green about their environmentally destructive ideas is the green naivity of their minds.

Beautiful Birthday Wishes, May the rest of your life be the best of your life. Cheers JT

The destruction of farming can be adjusted, I mean with the right funding, people can still go back to Agriculture/. farming. ( Though, every youngin wants to be the latest tick tocker or vblogger ).
As per the case of theft over our assets and savings, I think it'll even cause more traumatic situations in the future if people are not aware of them finances ( having financial edu ) and controlling them assset. Indeed this generation is in do much debt, I think hard and ponder how they'll gon be tackled without proper knowledge of the edge Bitcoin gives em. More harm has been caused than good for the next set of generations to come.

There are speculations about Arsenal allowing Thomas Partey to leave this summer. Honestly I don't really have a problem with selling Partey at that amount. The problem is also selling Xhaka as well. It'll really leave their midfield lacking in experience though. In as much as I want him gone too but not on the back of losing two of their midfield generals at one go.
Remember that the midfield is at the heart of how they play. Even if the new guy comes in and hits the ground running, we can't realistically expect two new midfielders to hit it off immediately.
Xhaka is a great player that Arsenal is not supposed to sell out, Xhaka is used to the game and also good for the game.  I have no problem with them if they should Partey, but including Xhaka is not a good move, and this decision can seriously affect the club next season if their is no good midfielder that is good for the game. Arsenal should be very careful with the players they sell out , because they still need their key players add to the new players they will be having for the new season. If Arsenal only have players with no much experience it will be difficult for them to challenge big teams.

Arsenal needs to make good signing against next season because this is what will determine if they can be able to achieve success in the season or not. I don't expect Arsenal to make mistakes in signing players ,their lose in the last season should be a reason for them to get the best next season to achieve what they couldn't achieve in last season. Their competitors are not easy to win , should make them to form a stronger squad for next season.

I'm no fan of the Emirates, but we both know who should leave, Granit Xhaka has been a temperamental player and at times also lacks discipline. Thomas Partey also is no bad player but with age and injuries, he wasn't so consistent for Arsenal at the end of the season.
Good wishes are with Thomas Partey, I'm dead certain he'll excel at the Saudi Arabian League.

Gunner's have been linked to Timber from Ajax, Latvia from Southampton and also Declan Rice ahead of the Pre-season. They couldn't win the Premier League because they lacked depths and due to fatigue.

I just lost 3 Friendly Match last week ago, and all match results draw Grin,

  • Morocco - Cape Verde,
  • Germany - Ukraine,
  • and Indonesia vs Palestine

I don't know why a strong team like German and Morocco didn't play seriously when meet in a friendly match. this will be noted and experienced in the future, So if you are bet in a friendly match, be careful to bet, don't look at how strong that team and squad, just look and be brave to bet in a draw. This is just my opinion, not always all friendly matches result for draw, but with my 3 last bets, I have a thing to bet 70% in the draw  Grin,

how about you?

Some players might be on holidays and since it's not so important, most players won't fancy the game, so players from the home base would be used or from under23.
Three draws would fetch nice odds, lemme day bout 30 odds, and playing full time draw results are my thing why didn't I see it?  Cry

Well, the best you can do if you find them difficult to predict is to not play at all or get a punter you believe and edit whatever games he plays. Germany lately have been a poor Germany, they didn't do so well during the FIFA World Cup ( December ) last year.
