Bayern Munich actually needs to sign Harry Kane if they really want to be a threat for any team especially in the champions league. If they don’t sign Harry Kane this summer or any striker at all i think they would be weak, they have a number of wingers but they lack a striker a player that will score the goals for them just as Lewandowski used to do for them. Kane is the perfect replacement but if they feel he is too expensive then they should go for another option that will be within the team’s budget else they will have a similar season just as last season.
To do well in the Champions League, of course, they need a good quality striker in their club, if Harry Kane is a good quality striker, then the matter will be better, but the biggest challenge for them at the moment is to get Harry Kane to contract with their club. They have not been successful in signing Harry Kane to their club so far due to financial considerations. Because Bayan Munich thinks that the market value that Harry Kane has set is high, as a result of which no positive news has come from Bayan Munich or Tottenham about the contract with Harry Kane. If we want to do well in the Champions League next season, we definitely need a quality striker in the team, in this case, they may not have any better options than Harry Kane, so they have to try their best to get Harry Kane into their team.
Of course Harry Kane is a quality player who is at the wrong club, there is no point in him staying there because after all he has to think about his career, he is old enough and the time has come for him to fulfill his dream to win at least some trophies with his new club. It looks like Harry Kane is the best option that Bayern Munich can choose to strengthen their attack line. Previously, Bayern Munich had experienced two rejections from Tottenham regarding Kane, and yes, financial problems were the main factor faced by Bayern Munich. But lately I've been hearing that Harry Kane has been in a relationship behind the scenes with Bayern Munich and indeed it is very likely that he really wants to go to the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich has financial problems so it is difficult for them to meet the high price clause set by Tottenham, and in my opinion this is not the end of everything for Bayern Munich. Harry Kane's contract will finish soon there and I think Bayern Munich still have a chance to get him by waiting until his contract is finished and getting him as a free agent, it still seems reasonable.

If speaking generally of gamblers it is difficult to be able to control oneself and stop gambling because the impact of gambling is addiction which when a person does not gamble then he will feel anxious and even feel his life is meaningless.
Even so, gamblers are slowly starting to have a lot of awareness by using gambling as a means of having fun and looking for busyness while on vacation from work.
The beginning of a gambler who is able to be aware of the negative dangers of gambling when he has experienced a truly bitter experience and anyone must have been approached by this bitter experience.
The self-control factor is a very important action in gambling, because I think self-control is the only step that can be used to help us or minimize losses due to addiction and in my opinion every gambler should be able to prioritize self-control, especially when they experience defeat. But in the end, it cannot be denied that most gamblers will forget all the things they had prepared beforehand, gambling moves under the human consciousness. My point is that most people when they gamble will forget everything outside of the context of their gambling, including some of the self-control measures they have prepared beforehand. This is caused because it is too cool in the game.

In gambling, someone will move subconsciously and their passions or emotions will completely control them, so that in the end they will not realize that they have lost a lot of money or valuables that they have. Lately, there have been lots of cases reporting the negative effects of gambling, some of them even experiencing stress. It's true, as you said, one of the things that can awaken them is when someone has tasted the bitterest thing in gambling, and maybe after that they will have the opportunity to quit their addiction, but the feeling of regret will still be there within them.

The fact that Paris Saint Germaine has informed Kylian Mbappe of their decision to sell him this summer transfer window instead of allowing him play in his last season with club and leave for free afterwards doesn't mean that PSG has the final say on the player's future.

Yes, because there is no other choice for PSG except to sell him as soon as possible and this is indeed the best option they can choose. On the other hand, I heard that PSG will sell him for a nominal amount that is not low, but in my opinion they should be able to take advantage of the various offering options that come and not be too selfish by prioritizing a lot of profit in this sale, because what I'm afraid of is when several other clubs want Mbappe prefer to look for other alternatives if PSG put too much of a fantastic price in this sale.

The amount that's been offered by the Saudi Arabian club is tempting to not just PSG but also Mbappe but I strongly believe that the the young superstar wouldn't leave Europe now for the Saudi League. Kylian Mbappe is likely to leave PSG this summer but surely not for a Saudi club

I agree with you that for now I don't think Mbappe will go to Saudi Arabia, and recently I heard that Mbappe has turned down a very tempting offer from a Saudi Arabian club. I think it is difficult for some players to be able to refuse a very tempting offer from a Saudi Arabian club and we can see that lately many players have decided to make a career there. Ronaldo has been a part of the Saudi Arabian club and indirectly he has opened the door for several other top European players who want to follow in his footsteps. Given Mbappe's decision to have absolutely no interest in going to Saudi Arabia, I think it looks like there will be something he wants to achieve first in Europe.

in the next season when it starts in the premier league there will be tough competition because it is not only a problem for Arsenal who want to compete with Man City but also other teams in the premier league who are also improving their performance. My prediction is that in the summer Arsenal can finish by shifting Man City position but the chances are only small or if Arsenal can be consistent.
last season failure was because Arsenal were not consistent with their performance.

Next season will certainly be very interesting, especially for several elite clubs who last season managed to stay in the top five of the standings. Arsenal are currently carrying out several major maneuvers and Arteta has managed to bring in several top players, one of which is Declan Rice who is considered capable of strengthening his midfield for next season. With some of the updates that have been made by Arteta, I think Arsenal have a great chance to be able to give their best performance and in my opinion now there is no more reason for Arteta to make another mistake at the end of next season like they did last season. I see that Arteta is now very serious about his work to improve his squad, because of course Arteta doesn't want his squad to fail again in the trophy hunt at the end of the Premier League next season. After seeing the seriousness of the manager, I think now they have the potential to win the title from Manchester City next season.

btw, the friendly match between Arsenal vs Barcelona is difficult to predict, even in other threads that discuss friendly matches, many lose because sometimes it looks like Barcelona will win, but Arsenal will win. but I predict Barcelona to win.

For the friendly match between Arsenal vs Barcelona I think in the end Barcelona will have the chance to dominate the victory, because on the other hand I see there is a bit of a problem with several injured Arsenal players. I hope Arteta can rotate shots and give the majority of his squad a chance to play, like Gabriel Jesus, Ben White, Kieran Tierney and Fabio Vieira. Besides that, it is quite difficult to predict who will win this match in the end, and I will only see the final result of this match, who is stronger to dominate the victory.
4265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 26, 2023, 09:13:47 AM
That's right, I was confused before about what this discussion is about, which makes it have many perspectives that are very biased with the meaning of success itself, if you think that gambling behavior and success cannot get a correlation that makes sense in the context of business, the question is quite ambiguous.

I really question too that success in this case, because I also have never found anyone who is successful from gambling, even though he can get big wins for example, but he will play it back to gambling, with the meaning of his success to earn income from gambling inconsistent Meanwhile, if we compare it to other professions, even though it is quite difficult, such as traders, they can consistently make profits and we can see that their financial stability is going well.
Well that's right, the word success in gambling I think is nonsense. The principle in gambling is to prioritize luck and how can someone who gets lucky in gambling be said to be a successful person. Someone who manages to win at gambling means that luck is on their side and it is only temporary. My question is, is there a gambler who supports his family from his success in gambling, of course not. Because gambling is an action that is done for entertainment only and as a prize if they are lucky then they will get a win. Well, on the other hand, maybe some of them think that when they succeed in achieving something in gambling, such as winning, it is a success. But basically, we still can't categorize a win as success, because this is a gamble, as you said, there is no consistent word in it, and that means that all wins in gambling are just luck.

If Don Carlo can lead Real Madrid to win La Liga and the Champions League, then it will be a sweet farewell for him and Real Madrid. But I wouldn't have high expectations of what they will achieve this season, because it's not an easy task at all, especially since their competitors have also built their squads during this break.
I haven't heard anything about Nagelsmann and Real Madrid. And also I just heard this rumor for the first time, because previously many speculated about the possibility that Real Madrid would return to their former coach, and that has become their habit.

well, that all we can hope for because Ancelotti was actually a great coach during his time at Real Madrid and now there are rumors of him leaving for another team. I'm a little unsure whether Real Madrid will be able to get their title back in the Champions League next season because next season a lot of teams will change their composition to become stronger and if this is indeed the award from Ancelotti for Real Madrid to win the Champions League title it will be very touching.
Regarding the Nagelsmann news, I haven't heard any news either and it looks like it's just speculation by Real Madrid fans, but my hope is that Real Madrid, at least next season, can get the champions league trophy as a farewell to Ancelotti.
Ancelotti has already left as he has accepted an offer from the Brazilian national team for next season so this is his last season in Madrid.
Talking Champions League is going to be tough but that doesn't mean it can't be. He'll have to make the new squad, especially in attack, better especially with Benzema gone and Ancelotti is also aware that to make a good farewell there should at least be a trophy for Madrid this season because even if he doesn't he'll still be respected but it won't be as memorable a farewell.
It's still too early to talk about a new coach but it's probably just in case Madrid and Ancelotti don't do well as the season progresses.

When they decide to loan out their existing players, of course they have considered the worst possibilities that they will face, one of which is as you said, being hit by injuries and so on. But we also have to look at it as an option, I mean when the players are in the squad but they don't play, then I think that's not a good thing, especially for the future of the player himself, especially if the player has good potential. The management must also be wise in seeing the opportunities for players on loan, especially in choosing a club that will provide many playing opportunities.

Yes maybe it is a disadvantage and advantage in itself, but in that choice there is the best choice, so choose the best of all choices. Players will also be happy if they are loaned out to a club that is ready to give them the opportunity to play, because for young players having many minutes to play is certainly a good thing.
And usually players who are loaned by a club to another club are players who have failed to enter the ranks of the core players in the squad built at that club. So that this player will also not be played much if he stays at the club if is not loaned out. But the club still has to pay even if the player doesn't contribute much. So lending players is indeed a good option for the financial condition of clubs who can get money from player loan agreements and players who are loaned will also have playing time at the club that borrowed their services. But the risks behind the profits are always there and it shouldn't be a problem that should be overly considered in these conditions.
Players who are loaned out are usually meant to increase their experience, as you said in this case when one club loaned out their players they did mean this to make them more able to develop because at the club they lived in could not compete with other players so their chances were very difficult to enter the main squad.
If the loan is successful and the player gets experience and more minutes, the hope is that this will make the loaned player more competitive when he returns but mostly if it is good sometimes it is also like a trial for the player and can use the permanent option after the loan is over.
4268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 25, 2023, 01:46:53 PM
Greed has led so many gamblers to great loss and the problem is that gamblers will never change from their greedy habit because they want to hit it big. I am not exempted from this,since sometimes I prefer betting on longer slip than short ones. The fact is that as gamblers,we always have that hope and belief that we will win the game and that is where greed blind folds us on. If a gambler forgets about winning a game,he will stay more focused on betting wisely and will also put lost into consideration. This will enable him gamble for fun and he might end up winning.
That's very true because when we are greedy and still want another victory even though we have already won, it will lead us to defeat. After all, our lust will increase. It is that hope and belief that makes us greedy that we can win one more time and then quit when what happens to most gamblers is they will lose and lose their money. And if he can gamble just for fun, it can make him enjoy and relax gambling, so sometimes this can give him luck and he can win. But the other thing that happens is that someone already has their victory but still wants another victory and that is greed.
Just the name "greedy" has a negative meaning attached to it. In any case greed will destroy a person's life, especially this is gambling which we all know that we must really suppress that greedy nature.
In cases like this, usually a gambler has won and earned a decent profit from the amount they deposited. But because they want a bigger win, then they will be uncontrollable. this is where something detrimental will come, they should be able to get a win even though it is small, in the blink of an eye they will experience a loss, maybe they will even chase the initial loss by making another deposit.
You are right, if we only play with the aim of having fun, then we will not be greedy, because surely we will realize that it is a victory that we should enjoy, not even want more.

They still have time to find a possible replacement, so the last word is not said on this matter.
Honestly, I have good expectations, but if I understand correctly, they would also lose the coach who goes to coach Brazil or am I wrong? So it could get bad

Yes, you're right, Ancelotti will be coach of Brazil team in the summer 2024, so he'll still have a whole season to win La Liga and possibly another Champions League. ) By the way, there are rumors that Real have already offered Negelsman a place in Real, after Ancelotti's departure, so that he waits for this season and does not sign contracts with other teams. Maybe it's just a rumor, but who knows. )
If Don Carlo can lead Real Madrid to win La Liga and the Champions League, then it will be a sweet farewell for him and Real Madrid. But I wouldn't have high expectations of what they will achieve this season, because it's not an easy task at all, especially since their competitors have also built their squads during this break.

Firstly, the Tottenham management is trying their best to keep Harry Kane in the squad. That's why they are demanding a huge amount for Harry Kane. Tottenham would benefit financially if someone were to pay that much to buy Kane. Also, if any club is not interested in signing Kane due to Harry Kane's high price tag, Tottenham will benefit as they do not have to lose the best player in the squad.
However, Bayern Munich managers are likely to be determined to sign Kane. They are well aware that they will not get many goals from Sadio Mane. They definitely need a suitable replacement for Lewandowski next season. For this, Harry Kane is the best choice at the moment.
Thomas Tuchel requires a sharp attacker capable of scoring and assisting, such as Robert Lewandowski. Bayern Munich considers Harry Kane as a possible replacement for Robert Lewandowski, as he is one of the remaining good strikers on the market. The player would undoubtedly accept terms with the Bavarians, but Tottenham Hotspur has yet to accept any bids placed on their striker; they want to keep him for next season because the competition ahead will undoubtedly be very competitive and challenging for clubs that have not prepared, which is why Spurs have been hesitant in the bidding process.
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.
4271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 25, 2023, 12:28:41 PM
I think Liverpool are in a transition period and they've actually been pretty good so far. After being left by Firmino who joined the Saudi league team, Darwin Nunez will now become the successor of the number 9 jersey at Liverpool and during this pre-season match he has proved enough of his contribution by scoring 3 goals in two pre-season matches. With this, we can see that Darwin Nunez is getting more productive and it is hoped that he will also bring this result later when the EPL competition starts. I think Liverpool still have good squad depth for that position and as back-up are Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz who are currently recovering from injury.

I think you are too quick to jump to conclusions because as far as I can remember Nunez also did it last season when he first joined and had pre-season games in fact he scored 3 goals in one match, but after a real season his performance continued to decline and Klopp defended him then said he needed more adaptation. We know Nunez has great potential but besides adaptation he also needs the right partner, this season Liverpool have brought in Dominik Szoboszlai this is Liverpool's attempt to prepare the right partner for him and we have to wait for the official match once the season is running.
I think Liverpool's transfer step was more correct. It was necessary to strengthen the midfield to feed Nunez and they did it, they will. Mohammed Salah will feed him enough anyway. If he is a productive attacker in the midfield, it could be a great season for Nunez. If Klopp saw this potential in him, he could find more opportunities this year.

They realized that one of their most noticeable weaknesses last season was that their midfield wasn't working too well, as several of their players were out injured. This season they have brought in 2 midfielders at once and both of these players have the ability to fill the gaps and weaknesses that they experienced last season.
As for Nunez, he didn't play as expected at the start of his move to Liverpool, but he repeatedly showed the best of his performances. But it looks like Klopp still trusts him, and in return he must prove that Klopp was not wrong to give him confidence.

The new season is just a few weeks away, which is enough time for them to prepare properly. It would be a pity if the time available is not well utilized by them, generally for all clubs.
4272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 25, 2023, 12:13:10 PM
I just hope they don't lose too many of the main players who contributed a lot last season, because that will make the framework of the team that has been formed will change, and it might have a negative impact on them.

Actually, there are advantages and disadvantages that Napoli can experience when making player loans.
The advantage is that Napoli can get some money and also have more experienced players for the future but the disadvantage that can be obtained is when a player suffers a fatal injury plus there can be a shortage of players who should be able to strengthen their own club.

But everything returns to Napoli's management because when they decide to lend a player, there are backup options in case something goes wrong.
When they decide to loan out their existing players, of course they have considered the worst possibilities that they will face, one of which is as you said, being hit by injuries and so on. But we also have to look at it as an option, I mean when the players are in the squad but they don't play, then I think that's not a good thing, especially for the future of the player himself, especially if the player has good potential. The management must also be wise in seeing the opportunities for players on loan, especially in choosing a club that will provide many playing opportunities.

Yes maybe it is a disadvantage and advantage in itself, but in that choice there is the best choice, so choose the best of all choices. Players will also be happy if they are loaned out to a club that is ready to give them the opportunity to play, because for young players having many minutes to play is certainly a good thing.

The last move I expect to see this transfer window is Mbappe accepting to go to Saudi Arabia. I think this is a wrong move at this time of his career, there is still so much Kylian Mbappe can achieve in Europe which he is yet to achieve and cannot achieve them playing in Saudi pro league, if he goes to Saudi Arabia, he can as well expect that he is not going to win a ballon d’or anytime soon. I really doubt he will be ready to trade all that for the money even when he is already earning much money at PSG. I strongly suggest against this move for a brighter future.
Actually, in this case there are positive and negative sides that must be accepted as consequences.
The good side is that when he only looks at the money the offer from Al Hilal is very tempting with 300 million and 700 million for one season but the consequences are that Mbappe will not get anything from European competition including the prestigious career he has so far will definitely be lost.
But if you want to look at the career then even if it is big money still he will not get anything in the Arab league.
There are many examples in this case such as Oscar, Hulk, Pato and Marouane Fellaini whose careers are actually still very good but choose to go to Chinese clubs or some of the current players who are still very good who go to the Arab world, actually this will only accumulate money but not with a career because even if he plays well in the Arab league in the end his prestige will still be less when compared to the big competitions in Europe.

Whether by math or logic, it is literally impossible to beat the casino in the long term, except you are very new to gambling and in your game, you got lucky and won a handsome amount of money, you withdraw it and never return to gamble again, then it might be considered that you beat the house, but then, always have it in mind that in such circumstances, the house will always make their money back from other consistent gamblers.

If there was a way to mathematically beat casinos, we have a lot of great mathematicians around the world that would have bankrupted a lot of casinos.
I agree with this because in the end it comes down to luck.
Regardless of the intelligence we have in any case whether it's math or logic, things like this will still lose to gambling houses.
Although there are definitely some conditions where we will benefit but I think it just comes back to luck not from the intelligence we have.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with using it as a form of our efforts but in gambling, luck will still play the biggest role.
Mathematics is only one of the strategies for calculating probabilities, not that this can make us win in every bet.

Now, the Mbappe and PSG drama is widening as rumours are that PSG have received an offer from Al Hilal who are willing to give them 300 million for Mbappe and a salary of 700 million.
This will create a new drama for Mbappe because of course if you look at this salary and price it will be very tempting but on the other hand there is a price to pay and of course if Mbappe is also willing then he must give up several opportunities in his career just for money.
Indeed money will be guaranteed in Arabia but when it comes to career this is risky actually.

So, this will be a new chapter and now it is worth discussing whether it is worth Mbappe going to the Arab league for big money but sacrificing his career?

But this sounds like a fairytale because Al-Hilal even accepts when he wants to leave the club after one year again. I mean if I were him, I don't think I could justify a no against that offer. When all circumstances are considered, this offer is crazy as all parties get what they want. Mbappe said he doesn't care when he has to train with the second team and he wants to stay with the club for the next year. If he does that he gets some bonus, but now he could sign a one year contract for so much money that it will never matter again what other contracts he signs and under what conditions. At first I thought it it impossible that we will see him in Saudi Arabia, but when this is true I think it is possible.
Yep, it can be said that this is like an Exclusive offer offered by Al Hilal regardless of the story that is like a fairy tale or whatever it is because seeing from the conditions this offer is very difficult to leave alone.
The problem is whether he will really give up the condition where fame will be obtained just for the sake of money now.
Because indirectly with his departure from Europe, the Ballon d'Or candidate and several other opportunities will be released so that this can also be a consideration.

On the other hand, it is likely that some people will also differ in opinion on this matter because seeing from some people who are fed up with Mbappe's specialty they definitely want him to leave Europa but of course the decision is also in Mbappe's hands at the end.
4276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: July 24, 2023, 06:52:26 PM
Yes I understand what you mean, by him joining Paris Saint Germain it was enough to raise money, yes even though it sacrificed his career which should in my opinion be more than what he is getting now. Moreover, he is also still very young and still has a long way to go. Indeed, I personally regret it when he failed to join one of the giants in La Liga or even in the Champions League. But I hope that if the opportunity comes again to him, he should not miss that great opportunity.
I believe that players like him will be many clubs who want him, but still he must decide what is best for him.

I am also one of those who find it sad that he decided against all those great other clubs and instead play in Ligue 1 way below his real potential. But I sometimes wonder whether we would say and think the same if he won the Champions League once or twice with PSG: They have had the chance when they played against Bayern Munich in the final. Would it then be any different?

The money is so crazy that I can understand when someone decides to play in Paris instead of Madrid. It is the time of the career where you have less options to make financial mistakes. He had to decide between his financial future and his recognition as one of the best players in the world. He has shown that he is one of the best when he played the World Cups, but he now also is one of the richest in the sport as well.
Yes, it would be different if they could win the competition that many clubs want, but what we see from Paris Siant Germain at the moment is far from that, which is why speculation that regrets Mbappe joining Paris Saint Germain is widely heard. Especially when he chose that he was one step away from joining Real Madrid, and also we see the privileges given by Paris Saint Germain are too much.
In the end, many were disappointed with him, even Paris Saint Germain itself. How harsh satire delivered by the fans.


But Mbappe isn't to blame for all of this as he did what everyone would have done if a club puts such a monster offer on the table. I guess he will be the fastet billionaire from soccer that the world has seen for a long time. Calling it outrageous is not even sufficient with the most recent offer, but we have seen in all of this that money doesn't easily buy the Champions League title. Guardiola always had one of the best teams in the world and he is the best coach in the world and yet it took him a decade to win that title again. But in terms of PSG I think it will be over for a while for them. It would be a huge surprise if they make it far in the Champions League next season.
Now, the Mbappe and PSG drama is widening as rumours are that PSG have received an offer from Al Hilal who are willing to give them 300 million for Mbappe and a salary of 700 million.
This will create a new drama for Mbappe because of course if you look at this salary and price it will be very tempting but on the other hand there is a price to pay and of course if Mbappe is also willing then he must give up several opportunities in his career just for money.

In their last friendly match, Leverkusen also failed to win, but I won't jump to conclusions, because this is a friendly match that is meant to see the strength of the squad not see the final result of the match.
They must not make the same mistakes at the start of the season, the article is detrimental to them because they have to try hard to move up in the standings.
If they can't afford the of players needed to complete the squad for next season, then I doubt Leverkusen will be able to play consistently until the end of the season. Friendly matches played by any team are indeed not a standard because it is still too fast to judge and maybe some new players also need to adapt to each other, but these friendly matches are also a basis for how strong the team they have and depends on how the coach can evaluate the weaknesses they have.
Now we just have to wait for what steps Leverkusen will take because of course with the conditions last season, their confidence to be able to compete again in the top 4 is still there, it's just talking about consistency maybe we know that something like this for several clubs in the Bundesliga is clearly difficult especially with makeshift players.
After Padeborn they will have slightly tougher friendlies with Sociedad, Marseille and West Ham.
Sociedad are one of the clubs in the Champions League and Leverkusen are one of the Champions League Play Off participants as well this is definitely a benchmark for all clubs.
In addition, even though West Ham looks like an ordinary club but of course the EPL club cannot be underestimated.

Quote
Alonso must be able to build a solid foundation, be it in defense, midfield or attack, he must also be able to ensure that he has an even squad depth between the main players and the second layer.
Alonso won't be able to perform perfectly if he only relies on the players he has now and I think they are still quite weak in defense. The depth of the squad they have will make it difficult for Alonso to rotate, especially when faced with several players who have been injured.
There are already some players signed for Leverkusen but to add more players is obviously a little difficult because they also cannot look for with the current financial conditions so it is most likely to look for players at a cheaper price or look for players who are free agents.

There are so many players who have returned from their loan at Napoli now. The number of players has increased a lot and I assume they would loan those players again. Most of them are young players of course. Other than that we have witnessed Kim Min-jae signing for Bayern Munich as well. They paid 50 million euros for him. Napoli should use this money to sign a new centre-back. They should find a solid one as well after losing a great defender like Kim Min-jae as well.

Max Kilman and Josip Sutalo are the latest speculations that I can see on Transfermarkt now. But they were entered like 10 days ago.
Of course with so many players, loaning them to other clubs is a good option, not only can they save money, but they also don't lose them permanently.
The management seems to be aware of things like this, and they give their players a great opportunity to increase their experience with other clubs.
Napoli are smart because they allow their young players to gain experience by loaning them to other clubs, and I think it's a good plan, because if the player can show his best game, Napoli can take it back for them to use.

I just hope they don't lose too many of the main players who contributed a lot last season, because that will make the framework of the team that has been formed will change, and it might have a negative impact on them.

The Premier League starts again in 3 weeks. I’ve enjoyed the break after a poor season by Liverpool, it’s been nice to watch and gamble on other sports but nothing beats the bread and butter of top level, European football, specifically the Premier League.
Time flies so fast  Shocked
Premier League is top class but I enjoy following other smaller leagues like EFL Championship, and this season will be very interesting with Southampton, Leeds, Leicester and others.


Unfortunately I feel that time is running longer than usual, I mean when the league is running, it seems like every week goes by quickly, and also as quickly as I lose money because I lose a bet on a match. Lol
But when the league league enters its final week, after that time goes very slowly. Maybe I'm used to watching every match every week, and when it's not there, there's no spectacle for me. There are local league matches that keep me occupied, but the atmosphere is very different when watching the top European leagues, especially the Premier League.

Did you know that Liverpool's performance will be impacted by Henderson and Fabinho's absence? I believe the answer is yes because this player is one of the best on the team. Without good players, the team's performance will be very poor, even though I am unable to judge the team's performance given that Sadio Mane's departure caused them to finish in the top four of the Premier League. Now that they are about to lose another player, this will have an impact on Liverpool's performance in the upcoming season.
Because midfielder is the key of everything, they control most the ball possession while striker and defender only need to understand what their midfielder are doing. Changing all the midfielder is obviously changing the pattern and the game, the striker and defender need to adapt with their play style. Fabinho and Henderson might not the best midfielder among other clubs, but they understand with their teammates and what they're doing.
The midfield position is a very vital position in a match, it is the link between the defense and the front line, the rhythm of the game created is very closely related to the presence of midfielders. If that position is not functioning properly, it will affect all components of the team. For example, when a midfielder cannot flow the ball to the front lines, it will make the attack built will not penetrate the opponent's defense. With long passes or long balls, I don't think it will be effective, because so far I've seen foot-to-foot passing is a scheme that runs more smoothly.
When defending as well, the middle player is the first player who must be able to break the flow of the opponent's ball, so when the middle player cannot do it, it allows the opponent to attack freely.
