Spurs has been targeting some strikers as a backup for kane if he gonna leaves from the club. Kane has become all time top scorer for totenham. Playing without him will bde creasing the performance from the attacking line of club.
I meant kane's contribution was a lot to the club. PSG is now trying to compete with bayern to get him from spurs. It has been rumored that if PSG is interesting to sign him as a replacement for mbappe.
I think that the chance for PSG to get him is far bigger compared with bayern at this moment. PSG can pay 100 millions easily while bayern needs so many times to think about that.
As long as PSG will agree to pay totenham 100 millions and i guess if the club will able to get him easily. PSG shall pursue him as soon as possible.
Kane is most suitable striker to replace mbappe at this moment.

I heard from several media crews that so far Tottenham have got several candidates who are considered to be suitable to replace Kane's position, although not as good as Kane but at least they will be able to make a pretty good contribution to Tottenham in every match they pass. One of the candidates mentioned is Jonathan David who has had an amazing season in League One, and Brighton's Evan Ferguson who has been able to record 10 goals in 29 matches. Both of these players could be long-term projects and they could be pretty good options as replacements for Kane at Tottenham.

Seeing the condition of PSG, which will soon lose Mbappe, I am a little worried about Bayern Munhchen's position in this hunt, because it is true as you mentioned that PSG will not be difficult to meet the price clause set by Tottenham regarding Kane, while on the other hand we know that Bayern Munich have poor finances at the moment so they have received several rejections from Tottenham regarding the price they proposed is still far from what has been set so this will be a tough competition for Bayern Munich if PSG joins the hunt for Kane, but I think everything returns to Kane, if indeed Kane already has ties to Bayern Munich maybe he will refuse to go to PSG.

Really, wouldn't it be the other way around? This is because several players such as Benzema, Asensio, Busquets and Jordi Alba have not been seen in the EL Classico duels this season. They is the people who play a role in make EL Clasico more competitive and exciting in previous seasons, while there has not been seen a replacement that has the same potential or is close to the players I mention earlier.
I think EL Classico will still be exciting next season even though some of the players you mentioned are no longer in La Liga, because fans of both teams or those who really like EL Classico will definitely still have a lot next season so the excitement might still be seen though it is also true that some of the players you mentioned need to be replaced in La Liga who can at least be a bit equal to them in order to keep EL Classico tense and fierce.
The meeting of these two big clubs will always be interesting, although for some people there is something missing, because the players we used to see in the match are no longer there and are now dominated by new players. And the most lost is when Real Madrid must be left behind CR7 and Barcelona lost LM10, of course these 2 players are the 2 players who get the most attention in their El Clasicco era.
A new era has begun, even from the previous season, but when looking at the last el clasicco duel, there is blood flowing from the seniors, that is, they play with hot tension.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are both lacking an important thing in their squad now which is a striker. They both have strikers in their squads technically of course but they don't have a reliable one for especially the Champions League. Bayern Munich's performance was quite inadequate for this reason last season as well.

Both teams you mention need other potential players. But Bayern Munich does not need a striker now, or let me say, it is not necessary for Bayern Munich to get any players in my opinion. because they have all the positions and they are still strong, so they don't need anything like that now. What I think is the weak point of Bayern Munich is their coach, and if they get a new one, I believe they will see the best in them. However, Kareem Banzema move to another team, not because of anything but because of his age, and he may not be much stronger for the coming seasons.
Looking at Real Madrid's last match, two of their new players showed positive things, Joselu and Jude Bellingham. For Jude, there were many people who believed in him from the start, but for Joselu, many people doubted his ability. But that doesn't mean he can justify it, he has to show that what people say about him is wrong, and he can do his best up front for Real Madrid.
Personally, I still doubt Joselu will be the answer to Real Madrid's needs next season. I also won't rule out the possibility that my doubts are also wrong. It depends on how motivated he is.
Hopefully he can show his best.

Before he arrived at Roma Paulo Dybala was an already established phenomenal attacker jus that he wasn't at his best in his final season at Juventus which is why many believes it was Jose Mourinho who helped the Argentine to be back to his best.
That being said, the player still has the independent privileged to determine his future at wether to continue playing for Roma or consider a move to another club. The summer transfer window is still very much open and anything can happen before the last day of the transfer window
As there is still independent privilege with Paulo Dybala, he should be able to make the right decision for himself at this time before the transfer window closes because next season he will also have to do better by being in a more right team, even though he won't either. it would be wrong if he had to return to stay at AS Roma next season because Roma is also not a bad team for him with almost 30 years of age.
I think staying at AS Roma is also a good choice, it is possible for a player to always be in the strongest club to increase their chances of winning the competition, but lately Dybala seems to have lost his best game, he still plays well, but not like what he can show in the past, there is a difference that is quite visible in my eyes.
He became one of the mainstays at AS Roma, and Jose also believed in his abilities, as evidenced after he was brought in from Juventus he made a contribution, although not optimal, but it was still within good limits.

18 goals in all competitions in his first season is a good record, and he has the potential to do more than that.
Oh yes I don't mean to say that Juventus is one of the causes of his decline, but indeed the last few seasons his decline has been very noticeable while at Juventus.

They are in business, of course they will not miss the opportunity when there are offers coming from Arab clubs, they will definitely set a high price for this player. I also like you that the price that Paris Sian Germain wants is too high for the player, but when looking at business of course the price is a very profitable price for this Paris team. But the question is, whether Al Hilal is willing at the price Paris Saint Germain wants, if they are me, then I will not understand it, because I might be able to buy a player with the same price but different abilities, and most importantly with a young age.
PSG are just trying to make money and get as much money from the Saudi as they can get since they have shown that they have enough money to spend. Al Hilal have brought Rúben Neves, Koulibaly, Milinković-Savić and Malcom for 55M, 25M, 40M and 60M respectively, they can pay higher than the 30M that they have offered for him, maybe not up to the exact amount that PSG are asking for, but an offer better than what they have brought. Marco Verratti has already agreed to the move, PSG just need some more incentive to let him go. Al-Hilal can pay.
Yes, now it's just a matter of waiting for both parties to agree on the price that will be agreed later, because looking from the player's side, he has confirmed that he can join, but now only from the club's side. Maybe Al Hilal will come with a price that is at least close to what Paris Siant Germain want, and higher than what they proposed before. I feel that they will find an agreement in the middle, I mean, more than the price that Al Hilal is asking now, and not reaching the price that Paris Saint Germain wants. Psg should be able to release the player even if they don't get what they want in terms of price.

Apart from that, I think it's still the person's fault, but I say it was someone's careless mistake when they wanted to start the game, and not a mistake that was entirely due to the luck factor. in gambling. To be honest, I also feel what you feel, because I wasn't careful when I wanted to start the game, and I think everyone who is active in gambling will also feel the same way. It hurts quite a bit when they forget to change the amount of the bet in the game so that when luck is not on their side the game will only run for a while because the bet value is too big they forget to change, and for now when I want to gamble there are many things I pay attention to first, one of the most important is the nominal bet which sometimes changes itself to the initial setting.
Yes, it's someone's carelessness when he wants to play and doesn't check the bet before pressing the button. Yes, maybe many gamblers have had the same experience as him and I think that is a normal thing that we experience. And that makes us careful and always check the number of bets we want. And if we feel that the bet amount is too high or not what we want, we can still change it before pressing the button. But some gamblers get lucky because of their carelessness and I can only say that they were lucky because they managed to get that big win.

Carelessness that invites luck, who wouldn't want that. For example in slot games for example, they immediately play carelessly so that they place high bets, but they get lucky by getting a scatter right away, Lol, I look forward to that.
But what I experienced was the opposite, when I placed a high bet and didn't get anything, then I lowered the bet amount and when I pressed the first spin button I immediately got a scatter, Lol I know maybe the bet amount is what I should get, but sometimes I feel sorry too because I didn't get it when the bet was high.

How about keeping it simple, but when there is dip or buy when you have funds for it or buy using the DCA method, hodl for long and sell off when your profits target is reached.

I believe this tips is much easier and safer for newbie coming into cryptocurrency just for investment purposes. The only reason for going into deep crypto learning is when you want to be a regular trader. Because you need those knowledge of technical analysis and fundamental analysis
That is the most basic strategy when it comes to hodling crypto, buy low and sell high. If you stick to it, you will still be profitable in due time. However, if you decide to be more profitable by engaging yourself in trading, well you have to knowledgeable and skillful at the same time. And by being good in technical analysis, which I think is very important when you trade, you will have an advantage in trading aside from those mindset and attitude that a good trader should possess.

It seems easy to say buy low, sell high, but a lot of people lost tons of money doing this because others thought that it was already low but it went deeper and they sold off. Others also kept waiting for the lowest price or dip but turned out to be left behind. That is why it is better to be knowledgeable first and not expect that just by buying low and selling high you'll gain more profit. That is why others are engaging more in holding for a longer period of time as they are sure that they can earn profit from it.

It seems easier to digest and indeed this is a very general basic trading principle. Now, I see that there are lots of beginners who are fooled by the market when they want to start an open position, when they have made the decision to open a down position but after that the nature of the market is immediately different, they open a down position and then the market moves up, and vice versa when they open a position go on. Under such conditions, many traders experience frustration because they see market movements that they think are always contrary to their predictions, and then after that many of them unconsciously trade based on emotion. Well, in conditions like this, it's important for us to have good psychology, learn to accept the risks of the decisions we make and start correcting the mistakes that made us suffer losses. Problems like this are experienced by many beginners and only a few of them are able to get past it, myself included. I agree, trading using fundamental analysis seems to be able to help a little.

To begin with, how many gambling addicts go for rehabilitation??? This is not about drugs that could cause a psychic issue that would be easily noticed and calls for urgent concern, it's gambling and many of those people who are gambling addicts might at times not know by themselves and also at times, might not be noticed by others too. The latter has happened to me in 2013, despite being addicted to playing lotteries back then, none of my family members know despite living with them daily. I actually realised by myself that something was wrong, which made me fight it and was able to come out of it within two weeks.



The impact of gambling is almost the same as some of the effects of other addictions such as the drugs you mentioned, but there is a slight difference in them, drugs have a very significant impact on a person's health and also from a mental perspective they will definitely be disturbed. Then the impact of gambling itself tends to be psychological and mental, and there is no significant impact on health. It's true, as you mentioned, it's hard to tell someone is addicted or not gambling, because it's almost invisible. They really need attention from others to help them in self-rehab. I hope that gamblers can at least tell the people closest to them about their addiction problem, because indeed if they find it difficult to stop themselves from gambling (addiction) only other people can help them at least they will benefit. lots of input or suggestions to get out of the zone.

I said all these to roar the inner mind of a gambling addict, it might be late before people started noticing and it could be so disastrous at that later stage. They, as adults are saddled with the responsibility of observing themselves regularly and exercising the necessary measure before it's too late. Everything should be done in moderation no matter how you love the thing, and in everything you do in gambling, gamble responsibly and be disciplined.



Gambling addiction is an act that is carried out under human consciousness, so it is difficult for them to get out of the zone because emotions and curiosity have controlled them unconsciously. If they don't start trying it from now on it will have a very bad impact on them, I mean if someone continues to let their addiction run then they will definitely experience a downturn in their life. It is undeniable that in the end they will take the wrong path, such as suicide due to stress with psychiatric problems. So the point is that hopefully all gamblers can be more open to those closest to them and tell them what they are experiencing, because it is very likely that those closest to us can help us if we really have the intention to stop.

Chelsea are really determined to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo. Their last offer was 80 million pounds however it was instantly rejected by Brighton. His market value is 64 million pounds actually so I wonder how much they want for him now. It looks like Chelsea will need to offer way more if they really want only him to the position.

So far I see that Chelsea really want to get Caicedo's services, but for the umpteenth time they have experienced rejection from Brighton regarding their offer. The price set by Brighton is very high, and if I'm not mistaken it's worth 100 million pounds for a club that wants Caicedo's services. Chelsea has made an offer as you mentioned, namely 80 million pounds, but they are still getting rejected. I don't really understand what was Brighton's reason for rejecting the offer, even though it was already very high and already exceeded the player's market price. If indeed the profit which is the reason makes a little sense, I see that Brighton is taking advantage of the opportunity in the midst of Chelsea's need. But at that price I think maybe Chelsea will choose to find a more reasonable alternative.

Manchester City decides not to sell Bernardo Silva this summer and they asking to Silva to stayed at this team at least until season 2024 ended and Silva has no objections to Manchester City's wishes although actually he want to look for new challenge and previously Silva almost moved to Barcelona and reported whether it Silva or Barcelona has personal agreement but recently Manchester City has decide to hold him because they still needed his service especially after lost Gundogan and Mahrez Manchester City feel they don't want to losing more midfielder players anymore besides that Manchester City feel they still unable to get a replacement who has the same quality as Benardo Silva

Yes, now it is reported that Manchester City have again abandoned their intention to include Bernardo Silva's name on the sale list in the transfer market this summer, even though previously Silva had intended to seek new challenges with other clubs and Barcelona was one of the clubs hunting for Silva. Previously, I also did not think that Guardiola would be willing to let go of his flagship player, he has a very important role in every game because of his sharp performance, and it is unlikely that Guardiola will let him go. We can see that one of their mainstay players left, namely Gundogan and if Guardiola releases Silva again then I think they will lose the balance in the competition next season. This is the right decision that has been taken by Manchester City by keeping him until 2024 ends and with Silva's stay I am sure that next season they will still be a strong team that will dominate victory in every match.

Marco Verrati want to leave PSG because the fans want him to leave so there is no reason for him to stayed at PSG to much longer and the negotiation from Veratti and Al Hilal has showing good progress because it says both representative has personal agreement and if PSG allowing him to moved then immediatelly Veratti will be transfer to Al Hilal and previously PSG want 80 millions for Veratti but apparently Al Hilal will not dare to pay according to his price tag and reported Al Hilal will attempts to bid 30 millions maximum and they will wait to PSG respond whether PSG will accept that bid or they will rejected it but it wasn't mentioned the salary that Al Hilal will give to Veratti if this transfer really happens
PSG demanding £80M for Marco Verratti is quite ludicrous. I am a big fan of Verratti and he's had such an amazing career at PSG, he has 9 ligue 1 tittles, 9 French super cups, 6 French league cups and 6 French cups all to his name and maybe it's time to move on for a fresh challenge but the fee is just too much. Fo me, I think the £30M offered by Al Hilal is more than enough as Verratti is already 30 years old and might not have more years left to play at his peak. I don't think personal terms is going to be an issue because the Saudis are already known for handing over huge contract to European players.
They are in business, of course they will not miss the opportunity when there are offers coming from Arab clubs, they will definitely set a high price for this player. I also like you that the price that Paris Sian Germain wants is too high for the player, but when looking at business of course the price is a very profitable price for this Paris team. But the question is, whether Al Hilal is willing at the price Paris Saint Germain wants, if they are me, then I will not understand it, because I might be able to buy a player with the same price but different abilities, and most importantly with a young age.
3952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 27, 2023, 06:12:50 PM
The final result of the match will always be seen, but we must also remember that this is a pre-season match where the club may not be at its best, as that is not the main purpose of a pre-season match. We have to look at how they play and not the final result. There's certainly a lot to improve on when looking at how they played in this match, and for me that's normal. Arsenal played better, but that doesn't mean they played without gaps to fix. I'm not going to try to sum up the whole thing, but in this match there were fragile gaps in their defense, not just for Barcelona, but Arsenal too, even though they were better than Barcelona.

In this friendly match, the two coaches both conducted experiments by rotating some of their players and at the same time to restore the team's fitness as a whole. that doesn't mean this match isn't important, because it's all done to measure the strength of the team and its players. to be sure, the results pertadingan not their main goal. all of that was done, in the interests of the team to welcome the 2023/2024 season. plus, releasing several players who are not included in the next season's project.

In this match, Xavi gave minutes of playing time for several newcomers. I think they need adjustments to adapt to the system that Xavi applies, as well as establish chemistry with other players.
referring to the statistics of Barcelona, ​​they played not so bad for a friendly match. for the front line, their statistics are quite good, as well as the midfield players. well, for defense, it looks like Xavi will have to correct him even though this match is not a crucial match.
That's right, it's very clear that now is a very good time for them to carry out an experiment, don't let it be because of some reasons they have to carry out an experiment when the league is rolling, that's something that must be avoided.
From every match, the coach will not likely come down with the same strategy, the strategy will be adjusted by looking at their potential opponent, whether it is stronger or easier. Of course, analysis like this is something that must be done to measure the opponent's strengths, and at which points are the opponent's weaknesses that they will be able to take advantage of later.

Usually coaches will play two or even more than one match, when their initial strategy doesn't go well, they will try a second strategy, and so on, and in it there will definitely be a role for the players, be it substitutions or rotations. or formation changes.

I remember a coach when talking about this, yes it was Jose Mourinho who used to have an unusual attitude, if I'm not mistaken he once gave instructions to opposing players to convey to his players. lol
And also the habits of coaches, like Ferguson for example, he is very famous for his Fergi Time. When the match time was a little longer, and Mamchester United was lagging behind, then at that moment Sir Alex looked at the watch in his hand, immediately Mamchester United was able to turn things around and win.

As you said, I often see big clubs losing to clubs that could easily be beaten on strength, but the fact is that in pre-season matches like this, it becomes more difficult. They end up with a lot of draws or even defeats.
I don't deny that I sometimes think about betting on pre-season matches, especially when I have more money to gamble with. Talking about the chances of winning, then it becomes lower than we bet on the same competition, maybe I don't have to say what the reason is for me saying that, because I'm sure we have the same thoughts about this.

They don't look at the final result, what they look at is how they play, and also they don't play the main players full time, but also give young players or players who rarely get a chance to play (second-tier players) the opportunity to be on the field.


All the main players and second tier players have their place in preseason matches like this, so it's not surprising when in the second half their players completely changed from what happened in the first half. So, there is no target to win in a match like this, they just take advantage of the opportunities they get to score goals, but the target is not to win. So indeed, betting on prematch events like this is a very risky bet, because whatever predictions you make don't seem to work at all. But indeed, after all betting is also about luck, so if you keep betting on events like this and then win. So of course you might be said to be a very lucky person.
Or even matches like this will be a place for players who don't get many minutes to play to show their abilities and be glimpsed by the coach to be part of the starting line-up later, it's a very possible thing. But until now I rarely see any players who can penetrate the main place from pre-season matches like this, it's not that there aren't any, it's just that we rarely see it. Apart from that, young players can also show their skills in order to break into the main squad, although they may not play the full 90 minutes, but usually they will be substitutions that will bring new colors to the game.

Mbappe is just a player and nothing more than this even he can't guarantee that he can make his team to win the French League, Champions League, or any other tournament. The important mission for Luis Enrique is to fill the empty place of Mbappe if he leaves PSG in this transfer window.
The empty spot might still be filled by Luis Enrique if Mbappe really leaves PSG, but the problem is the level of PSG's own strength which is still a big question mark next season because of the loss of the best players like Mbappe and Messi. So that makes the PSG team have to be able to find a better replacement so they can still perform well next season, because PSG still has to try to appear more successful in the Champions League apart from in Ligue1.
well that's the loss they end up feeling themselves, we will definitely see that they were a tough club in the previous season because they were inhabited by many star players and at that time doubts were still pinned on them, now the situation is worse than before, besides they lost many star players, in fact the players who still survive don't seem to be much expected at this time, I don't mean to underestimate them, it's just that we all know that the names that exist are like covered by the star players that existed before. Enrique must build the foundations first, because if not their stability is very likely to be problematic next season.

If we look at things from a positive perspective, then we will see something positive, conversely, if we look at things from a negative perspective, then all we will see is the negative. It's the same with the World Cup, I would say there is no perfect World Cup without any problems or anything like that. So it's just a matter of how we look at it.
I agree with you that each country has its own characteristics, we can't compare the World Cup held in country A with the World Cup held in country B, because those are 2 different countries. It might make more sense to compare World Cups held in the same country in different editions.
I would say world cup without any problems is one thing, but world cup with a ton of problems is another. Qatar one never felt like a true world cup to me, not because of any religious stuff but because not that many fans went there, that's the biggest issue. I mean normally what I understand from world cup is that when Brazil is playing, there will be tens of thousands of brazil fans cheering on the stadium, and when France does then French ones.

When you look at Qatar world cup, you will see that it was like made for the Qatari people and it was mostly them that was watching it and that's an issue if you ask me. It is not made for a nation, it's made for every nation, and if there aren't tens of thousands of fans of that nation there, then it makes no sense.

The biggest problem we had in Qatar was the lack of freedom and we all knew Qatar couldn't be a good host mostly because of the rules they have. We know Qatar as a Muslim country where you are not allowed to during in some places and in the other hand this country is very rich-friendly, which means if you have the money you can do anything you want, otherwise you should respect all the rules and you won't have freedom there.

It is a natural thing, and we also have to understand each other with policies that will certainly be different from each country. I will illustrate it in a small thing like a guest at home for example, of course we as guests must respect what is the rule in the house, and of course also the host must be able to respect us. We certainly don't want to have guests who are arbitrary in our homes, right? But because this is a different thing, Qatar is also not unwilling to give in to this, but they also relax the policy policy even though by loosening it I am not enough for some people. But again there must be mutual respect from everyone, isn't it in football that mutual respect is prioritized?

Friendly matches are not a worth to see games, they were played without fierce, and we see so many tries of players and tactics.

Some games are played with subs players and the one with starters are played without the real energy of a game, no one its gonna risk a injury. Thankfully its gonna end soon this part of the season called pre-season.
Wagering on pre-season games is definitely not what we expect to happen, in positions to forecast accurate predictions. In preseason games, elite clubs mostly lose to average clubs, that's totally understandable, and it doesn't even surprised me, ready to face the outcomes of these games. In pre-season games, it's consider not important and players do participate for fun. On the other hand of the coach, he utilized his players, giving gametime opportunities for every players in his squad, also a means of selecting the first XI when the season begins.
As you said, I often see big clubs losing to clubs that could easily be beaten on strength, but the fact is that in pre-season matches like this, it becomes more difficult. They end up with a lot of draws or even defeats.

Talking about the chances of winning, then it becomes lower than we bet on the same competition, maybe I don't have to say what the reason is for me saying that, because I'm sure we have the same thoughts about this.

They don't look at the final result, what they look at is how they play, and also they don't play the main players full time, but also give young players or players who rarely get a chance to play (second-tier players) the opportunity to be on the field.

They finally understood that we need to keep this player, I'm glad they've come to their senses and have decided for the best.
This makes me understand that perhaps they have understood that they have made a big mistake with Spalletti.
Napoli's awareness in maintaining Osimhen is something that is very natural because Napoli knows that they still really need a striker like Osimhen to keep themselves strong next season. Regardless of who will train Napoli next season, what is clear is that Napoli must be able to retain and maintain some of their best players this summer so as not to decrease their strength next season. So this is a very, very wise realization for Napoli now.
There's no doubt that he was one of the players who greatly contributed to their Scudetto success last season. And when they keep him, it's a good move, although on the other hand they might lose money on transfer fees if they sell him.
Regarding the figure of a coach, it is possible that it will affect the style of play of a player, it could be better or vice versa. Because after all, a coach must have the ability to read the style of play of a player and then he will adjust the strategy. I won't say that players don't need to adjust to the strategy that a coach wants, but in this case they must understand each other between what the coach wants, and vice versa.

Pressure, criticism will definitely be food for their new coach, if not something with what is expected. Not to compare, but it's something we often see when there is a change like this, especially if the previous coach showed something extraordinary.

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.
A intriguing situation is the deadlock between Tottenham Hotspur and possible bidders over Harry Kane move. Tottenham stands to gain financially if any team is willing to pay the high price demanded by them for their star striker. The team nonetheless gains if no offers come through because they are able to keep their star player for the following difficult season. Bayern Munich on the other hand are interested in Kane because they need to find a good successor for Lewandowski and think Kane is their best choice. The mystery and ambiguity surrounding Kane future are prolonged by Tottenham refusal to accept offers despite the fact that Thomas Tuchel is also looking for an attacker similar to Lewandowski.
Tottenham will also not want to let go of their prized player at a price that they think is not in accordance with what they want, and the impact on the deadlock of the club who wants to sign Kane from Tottenham. On the other hand, whether the club that wants this player is willing to pay what Tottenham wants at this time, (in this case Bayern Munich). They will also definitely consider it carefully, because it could be that their transfer becomes a "failed" transfer because the player who is brought cannot adapt well and show his best game like what he showed at his previous club.



Last season, the player who left Borussia Dortmund was Erling Haaland, this season they sold Jude Bellingham. Now what I'm looking forward to is a player who will make a comeback and they will sell in the next season. Honestly, I always look forward to something like this every season from Borussia Dortmund. Not because of what, but because they often produce talented young players and we cannot deny that they are one of the best clubs in finding young talents that they eventually succeed in fostering into players who have high market value.
Have you seen the potential of their current young players?

Losing to Arsenal was not supposed to happen, not after adding some crucial players to the team this summer.
It was the first game Barcelona played in a while as a team, Arsenal had played more, their players were sharper on the ball, and overall, Barcelona did not play poorly for their first game. Whenever I watch preseason games with all the changes that the coaches make to the team, I try to judge the performance of the team with their first and second half differently. Different players played in the first Half, and in the second half. The Barcelona players from the first half were not playing so well, they were able to score the first goal from a lucky rebound, and the second from a deflection from the defensive wall of Arsenal. The players in the second half played better, they were able to close down Saka better and create some good attacks of which one ended in a goal. Barcelona team will be stronger, they can win the UCL if they can fix some little errors in the team, or have a lucky run to the finals.
The final result of the match will always be seen, but we must also remember that this is a pre-season match where the club may not be at its best, as that is not the main purpose of a pre-season match. We have to look at how they play and not the final result. There's certainly a lot to improve on when looking at how they played in this match, and for me that's normal. Arsenal played better, but that doesn't mean they played without gaps to fix. I'm not going to try to sum up the whole thing, but in this match there were fragile gaps in their defense, not just for Barcelona, but Arsenal too, even though they were better than Barcelona.

Kyle Walker's future at Manchester City is still being speculated on, I even heard recently that Guardiola himself is still confused about the decision to sell him, it seems that maybe now Guardiola is thinking about keeping him.
Manchester City and Pep Guardiola don't try to keep any player if that one is not very important with them. Looking at how they treated Kyle in latest months of the past season, I don't feel they actually plan to keep Kyle in their club. Firstly he is becoming older and only this contains risk that he will has worse performance for Manchester City in coming seasons. Second Pep and Manchester City just changed their tactics in late of last season and no signal that they will change it back just to help Kyle more comfortable. Except if Kyle adapts to the club new tactics, he will be kept but again his age will be another barrier.

Well, indeed, on the other hand, Kyle Walker has now succeeded in establishing a verbal agreement with Bayern Munich and now the final decision rests with Manchester City itself. Kyle Walker has quite a lot of experience and he also has good speed and technique on the field.
Moving to Bayern Munich is not a too bad choice for Kyle as he will play for one of biggest clubs in Europe and he will have chances to win another Champions League. It is a good destination for Kyle and his age will have less effects on his performance in Bundesliga.
Kyle Walker might not be regular starter for Manchester last season but he was a very important member of the treble winning squad of last season.
However if Pep Guardiola deems him to be surplus to requirements at the club, then he should be open about it and let the player know that his services are no longer needed at the club so he can look for another club where he can continue his career rather than keeping him in dark.
Like Gundogan, he was also an important player in the Manchester City squad last season and brought success to them by winning the competition they had long dreamed of. But when they feel they don't want him anymore, then they will release him even as a free agent because his contract has expired. Just like the player we are talking about now, it depends on Manchester City itself, his contract ends next year, and if they sell him now then they will get money from the sale.
And Mamchester City will definitely make a decision based on the recommendation of Guardiola as a coach.
