I can't believe how Casemiro wants to leave Real Madrid. He is said to be after a new adventure and he must be aware of how much his future team are struggling now as well. Maybe the money is the biggest factor to convince him I don't know. The thing I know very well is that he has been a crucial player in Real Madrid midfield. Therefore Real Madrid should find a solid player like him.

Real Madrid can retain their title as well therefore it is absolutely early to talk about this. For now, I see Barcelona as the only team that can compete hard for the title with Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid started better maybe but I believe it is just misleading. Because they haven't changed anything and it is the opposite for Barcelona. In time we would see Barcelona making a big difference compared to them.
I don't think so. We must see the result from the next match that will be faced by barcelona. This team may not consistent. It needs to be consistent. If you are still taking the result from the pre season and it's not viable anymore to be used for this time. Why you call that as a misleading? that doesn't even make sense. It seems like that you are feeling very optimistic with the next match that will be faced by barcelona. I just wait that and wanna see the result whether there was a change in the club or not. Where did you see exactly that I was talking about the pre-season games? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I meant the results of the first week. As you can see Atletico Madrid won but Barcelona didn't. However I still stated that I didn't trust Atletico Madrid. Because they are a very unpredictable team. Barcelona can have a much better season than them with this new team composition. I believe the draw against Vallecano was just about being unlucky.

The new week is going to start with a Tottenham - Wolves game. Tottenham got a really shocking loss against them last season. They lost 0-2 here. However I don't think this will happen again. Tottenham are very strong when it comes to offense now and Wolves didn't get satisfying results on the first weeks. Tottenham can take advantage of their poor condition and win nicely.

It wasn't a good night for Basaksehir. They had big problems on keeping the 1-0 advantage against Antwerp. Their being under a big pressure brought the equalizer as well in the last minutes. This is a very common thing among the Turkish teams when it comes to European tournaments I'm afraid. Basaksehir could struggle more in the rematch and I'm not very positive about next round for them.

Nunez's incident in the last game was definitely unacceptable. He should have been able control his temper there. This is not a good start for him here. He has got a very unnecessary red card in his second league game already. If he doesn't make up for this later then Klopp wouldn't be very willing to give him many chances in the important games especially. Nunez is a skilled striker and he should focus on being that only.

Arsenal are one of the teams that started the season by two wins. As there are only two teams that did this, it is attracting. Their next game is an away one against Bournemouth. Maybe the bookmakers think that Arsenal are very clearly the favourite but I'm not very sure about this. Bournemouth aren't a weak team and they wouldn't let Arsenal win easily. Maybe this game could be the first one Arsenal lose points.
Don't you have double thought over that game, Arsenal will win comfortably against Bournemouth. Weak team or not, a win over Arsenal is not possible this weekend. Did you see how they played last week ? Yes some goals was as a result of the Goal keepers fault but they fought back to score and also seal the game. They now play with a goal in mind and vision knowing fully well they are up for the top four spot. Two London sides are my favorites for the Premier League @ Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. I know how strong Arsenal are at the moment. Arsenal are obviously the favourite but I just don't want to take it for granted now. Bournemouth might have a potential to make difficulties for Arsenal in case Arsenal struggle with finishing. Arsenal just shouldn't underestimate their opponent after this great start. This will be the key factor for them to stay strong in this game as well. Gabriel Jesus was very good last week and they will hope him to maintain his good performance.

We have a delightful game ahead on this Sunday. It is Atalanta - Milan. Both teams got satisfying wins on the first week. When it comes to the games between them Milan defeated them two times in the league last season. They won 3-2 away but actually the score would have been more comfortable as well. We will see if Atalanta will have their revenge but for now I believe in Milan to win again.

https://as.com/futbol/el-atletico-rechaza-una-oferta-de-130-millones-de-euros-del-united-por-joao-felix-nAS claims that Manchester United have made a 110 million pounds offer for Joao Felix but it has been rejected by Atletico Madrid. Even if the team didn't reject I think that Joao Felix wouldn't be eager to sign for Manchester United as well. Manchester United should be looking for more realistic transfers. Because it is too difficult for them to convince the players whose teams are big and competing in the Champions League at the same time.

Losers of the first week of the season are facing each other tomorrow night. Sevilla are hosting Valladolid and obviously Sevilla are the closest to win here. On the other hand there is an interesting statistics between these teams as well. I mean that their last three head-to-head games ended up with 1-1 draws. This is a point to take into account for sure but I still want to trust Sevilla about getting their first win this season.

Some rumours about Casemiro exist these days as it is said that he can join Manchester United. But there isn't even any attempt by them for him now. Even if they do this I don't think that he would like to leave Real Madrid to join them. Because there is no meaning in doing that. Real Madrid are in a way better condition and Casemiro is a regular player in the lineup as well. He is very crucial for the team in the midfield.

Juventus impressed me last week after beating Sassuolo 3-0. The statistics tell us that they didn't have one of their best times but they were still very good at taking advantage of the chances they found considering that they didn't have many shots on target. Di Maria and Vlahovic played really well together and can't wait to see more from them. Allegri would surely prefer this duo there in the next game as well.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has been reported that he wants to leave Chelsea now. However Chelsea are keen on sending him only on loan. Newcastle have an interest in him these days. I don't think that Newcastle would care about if it is a loan or permanent move. Hudson-Odoi is a talented winger and Newcastle would make use of this transfer. Jacob Murphy is the only right winger at the team now.

When it comes to Leverkusen they are really surprising people now. They had a really solid season the last time and finished the league at the third position. But now it looks like something is going really wrong with them. Actually their performance hasn't been the worst so far but they just failed in reflecting this onto the scores. I believe they can fix this problem as they haven't changed their squad much.

I really appreciated Fenerbahce's effort against Kasimpasa. After drawing with Umraniyespor in a very interesting game this 6-0 victory must have boosted their morale a lot. Arda Guler had a great game as well by scoring two goals. One of his goals was likened to one of Messi's goals on social media as well. I believe that he really has a serious potential. I don't know if he can reach his potential here but on the other hand I don't think Fenerbahce can keep him for long years here.

After seeing Durant and Tatum training together news sources started new rumours about Durant. He is said that he can join Boston Celtics in the summer. However they have Jaylen Brown and his performance in the previous season was really nice. I don't know if they would like to make a change there. The current roster played in the finale in the end. They may not want to change their best players.

Congrats to Napoli above all else. They have made an excellent work out there against Verona by 5-2. This is a green light for this season but I don't want to be biased so soon. Juventus - Sassuolo game also started and it hasn't been very exciting so far. It is an interesting choice by Allegri for the attacking line by the way. We see a Vlahovic - Di Maria duo as forwards. But who knows maybe it will work.

Atletico Madrid scored the relieving goal for themselves and made the score 2-0. It looks like Alvaro Morata has made a perfect start to the new season. Because he has already scored two goals. This is not a thing that we are accustomed to see by Morata. I have always thought that he is an overrated striker. However maybe he might change this if he keeps this up during the season. And another goal! It is 3-0 now thanks to Griezmann. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

We have started getting rumours about Ronaldo to be transferred by another club again. After getting very poor results he seems like he is fed up with the team. There are even rumours like Manchester United have offered him to Milan and Inter but it looks like the clubs have rejected the offers. If there is any truth in these rumours then I think Ronaldo shouldn't insist on this much more. It is obvious that he won't be able to find a big club for himself now.
