However, I believe that Pep wants Neymar and let's remember that PSG will pay half of his salary and Man city has the money to pay 3 times the salary of Neymar.
Pep Guardiola doesn't want Neymar, he said it during their pre-season tour in the USA that Neymar is a good player but that Manchester City are not going to buy him, from my understanding of Guardiola and his coaching methods, a player like Neymar would not fit perfectly in his team, Guardiola likes players that follow every of his instructions, he wants them to play the way he wants, Neymar is a player that likes to freely run around with the ball, take too many touches and complete dribbles, even when not necessary, Guardiola will have many problems with him if he is his manager.
For some reason, I'm not sure that Paris Saint-Germain would pay half of Neymar's salary if he moved to Manchester City. Also, I really doubt very much that Guardiola would have been the main initiator of Neymar's transfer to Manchester City, rather than even because the player would violate the role in the model of the game that Pep preaches, but rather because of the rather frivolous attitude to the matter that the footballer has been demonstrating for a long time. Moreover, Guardiola himself recently said about the purchase of Neymar, noting the incredible level of the player, that it would be wrong if Manchester City bought 150 players every summer.

Chelsea have declined both in performance and reputation since the change of the club's ownership. I also saw the post match interview of Thomas Tuchel obviously, he is not happy with the club for their lack of seriousness and ruthlessness in the transfer, he also mentioned that the club is supposed to be getting the players to bond now before the start of the league but until they still have gotten enough signings which isn't good for the progress of the team.
Well, Tuchel does have some right to be dissatisfied, but on the other hand, it was difficult to expect anything else in the circumstances that were at that turbulent time for the club. Due to the change of ownership and all sorts of restrictions for conducting financial transactions, the club generally risked not conducting a full-fledged transfer campaign at all, and some of the players decided at that time to change the club or vice versa to prefer other options for continuing their careers rather than moving to Chelsea. It is clear to everyone that the transfer campaign is not done in a matter of days and preliminary work on the market is carried out in advance. On the other hand, it is clear that Tuchel's opinion is taken into account and it is because of this that Ronaldo's potential transfer to the club seems to have been rejected.

I think that the Kane topic should be closed soon. Because I don't see any transfer move for him these days. It wouldn't make sense while he is contented with playing for his team as he trusts Conte very much. Tottenham also wouldn't sell him unless an extraordinary offer is made to them. Bayern Munich wouldn't care about the money now as they need a striker immediately. But as I said even if the team accept such offer Kane might turn it down because of those reasons.
I don't think Bayern Munich is thinking of buying Kane this year. At the moment, this would be too much of an expense for Bayern after buying Mane. I think if Kane moves to Bayern Munich it will be after his contract with Tottenham expires next year.
In principle, as far as I understand, there is no talk about the transfer of Kane in this transfer window and so far there is only probing the ground on this matter by the leadership of Bayern Munich. However, Tottenham head coach Conte reacted quite painfully to Nagelsmann's words that Kane could score a lot in the Bundesliga, but is expensive in price. Conte said that Kane is an important part of the project and that Conte himself would not talk about the players of other clubs in the press, that it is a little disrespectful to another club. But in theory, it is quite understandable why Tottenham already wants to discuss the extension of the contract with the player. But I am absolutely not sure about this, because no one knows how Tottenham will manifest itself this season and whether it is worth continuing to link their fate with him in the future.

Making predictions on the cryptocurrency market, especially in the current turbulent times, is quite a thankless task, but still, if someone is going to invest in this market, then they will still have to make some assumptions about the near future. There are two possible scenarios. If the market continues its decline or there is a sideways trend, then the most reliable option for a beginner will be investing in bitcoin, because historically bitcoin is less susceptible to falling than other cryptocurrencies. If you think that the cryptocurrency market will soon begin to rise, then you can think about investing in Ethereum as a more or less common and safe option from altcoins, especially considering the imminent transition to a new network model, which could potentially lead to a strengthening of the exchange rate of Ethereum.
525  Economy / Economics / Re: Surprisingly, Elon's Tesla is not so keen on hodling BTC anymore on: July 24, 2022, 11:05:12 PM
I think Elon has never really been a big Bitcoin fan. And I think it wasn't really felt by the community that Elon has got their back. He indeed purchased Bitcoin but it was seemingly more of a diversification tactic to probably protect his money's value than a sincere appreciation of the technology. This was kind of reinforced when he believed in Bitcoin's critics regarding the contentious energy issue. And then there was also the subsequent decision of halting the acceptance of Bitcoin payment in Tesla.
Anyway, at least with Elon already dumping a big majority of his Bitcoin portfolio, we're already more or less freed of anxieties of when this unstable whale suddenly shakes the market when he finally sells.
Well, Musk is rather the background of the dogecoin than bitcoin, and as far as I know, Tesla did not get rid of them and left all the savings in the meme critical currency intact. Even if there was or really is a bitcoin fan, this does not mean that bitcoin is more expensive for him than Tesla, thanks to which all the greatness and success of Musk's entire business empire is based. Everything is situational here, the cryptocurrency exchange rate clearly does not show an upward trend, but on the contrary has fallen significantly, and I fully trust Elon's own explanations that the company urgently needed cash as a reserve due to the pandemic history. By the way, Musk still has not renounced bitcoin investments and all this only says that Musk does not yet believe in the next sharp rise in the bitcoin exchange rate.

It is true that people who have good money management skills must initially learn first and will even experience mistakes first. This means that everyone can manage their finances well if they want to learn, and try various strategies to find out what money management strategy is the most comfortable to use. Because everyone must have a different strategy in managing their finances, that's why we need a long process to finally find a strategy that suits us.
You're trying to say that people shouldn't go for the shortcut and won't just copy existing strategies from someone else. That's beneficial but I think many people can't afford to wait longer, that's why they can rely on others. If they get lucky this can work nicely but this can require lots of trial and error, or in short lots of capital. That's the only downside there.
You can talk as much as you like about someone else's experience, about the shortest paths to success, about that cherished formula that others want to share with you, instead of earning themselves Grin It's not for nothing that teaching others business is a business in itself and can be said to be a semi-fraudulent way to get money out of gullible newcomers Wink But still, the fact remains that the most effective way to learn is to fill bumps on your own experience and no other person's experience can replace it. This does not negate the fact that you need to learn and know the fundamental things, but for the absolute majority of people, the fact is true that there will be no sense until you feel it yourself on your own skin.

I don't know I just don't believe anyone can bring MU back to the top positions anymore, although top 4 sounds realistic. In that case, they need to do a complete reorganisation, selling off star players and recruiting new ones, and then build the team from there. There is a lot of money spent on star players, just crazy numbers, obviously some of them play for money and not for trophies
Well, then how many years will it take to build a new squad and do the Manchester United management and fans agree to this? Nevertheless, star players are called star players for a reason, and with the right attitude to the matter, it is their presence in the team that should give more chances for the team to occupy high places than to assemble a team from nounames and hope that the great talent of the head coach will allow such players to achieve success. You can ironize as much as you like about how much Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester City spend on players and failures in winning the Champions League title, but the fact remains that thanks to the presence of star players, these teams win championship titles at the local level from year to year. We just need to be consistent, and not rush from extreme to extreme, like if it didn't work out with star players, then let's bury this money spent in the sand and now we will work for the future with unknown players.

Totally agreed. Kepa would still be a good substitute for Mendy now. I don't know what Kepa thinks about this of course. Because he was the main goalkeeper of the team before Mendy came here. Maybe he also wants to play in the starting eleven for another team. Werner should be kept in the team for now while they are in need of a centre-forward especially. Let's say that they couldn't find a better alternative for Lukaku then they will need Werner again there.
Do you think Chelsea will take the risk of selling Werner and not find a replacement? I'm not sure about that Chelsea must have other plans
I also think that as for Kepa's departure from Chelsea, we need to talk about the fact that the goalkeeper himself would certainly like to be the main goalkeeper of the team, and not the goalkeeper of rotation and for FA Cup matches. Therefore, I am not sure that Kepa himself agrees to stay for another season and patiently wait for his chance. As for Werner, I would like to say the following, that in my humble opinion, the footballer has justified the chances that were assigned to him and I don't think Chelsea will lose much in the event of his departure. Another question is that then there will be less variability in attack and injuries to leading players have not been canceled either, but I think the Chelsea management should have worked in this direction in the transfer market in search of other alternatives.

We still remember the process of moving Ronaldo from Juventus to Man United so fast  so while the transfer window has not been closed there is still a possibility Rome is one of the teams reportedly interested in Ronaldo but this news was never confirmed by Roma, let's wait how this drama ends. Who knows the moment last season happened again.
I am not sure that the newly-minted Roma player Dybala will be very excited if Ronaldo also joins the club, because at one time one of the reasons for the football player's not the brightest game at Juventus was stated that it was difficult for the head coach to combine both players in a team game Wink On the other hand, Ronaldo's departure did not become the finest hour of Dybala at Juventus, despite all my sympathies for this undoubtedly talented player. The only thing is, I don't see much point for Ronaldo in moving to Roma, because the club also does not participate in the Champions League this season and I think that in case of a transfer, the player will have to lose wages.
530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 21, 2022, 11:59:17 PM
I don't think that Dybala is now such a valuable player that he can claim a place in a top club and everyone already understands that he is no longer a promising player. By the way, Roma has sharply approached the big four in terms of the cost of the squad, look at the situation on July 1st and what it is now:
Well, it would be strange enough to call a promising player someone who turns 29 this year Grin Also, a lot depends on which clubs you consider to be top clubs and which are not Wink I think if Dybala had slightly moderated his financial appetites at least to those that he agreed to in the case of Roma, then for example a deal with Inter would definitely have taken place. I also think that Dybala is a very good and talented player and has not said everything on the football field yet, so this is a great reinforcement for Roma. It is not for nothing that Fabio Capello spoke about the fact that thanks to this transfer, Roma at least became at the level of Juventus. That is, a club of the Champions League level, and this is the goal they are probably pursuing in Roma this season and the cost of the squad is an excellent confirmation. In any case, I would like to wish Dybala success with the team this season.

Frankie de Jong is a player who is admired by a lot of big clubs like Manchester united, Chelsea, the saga with Manchester has being going on for a month now and up till now there has being no resolution in the deal and it seems the price Barcelona are requesting is the major road block in the deal. If they really want to sell they should cut down their price so that clubs can negotiate and sign the player or keep him and be ready to bear his wage expenses for a further year.
There is information that the main problem seems to be that de Jong himself does not want to leave the club and the only club where he agrees to go is Bayern Munich. Another question is that Bayern Munich did not express interest in buying a football player, especially at the price at which Barcelona and Manchester United seemed to have agreed. Barcelona undoubtedly needed de Jong as a player, but the financial component outweighed up to a certain point, so still a deal looked very likely. But recently Barcelona seems to have carried out a number of successful deals to sell part of its television rights and the official name of its stadium and is no longer so dependent on this transfer, so the deal may not take place.
532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 21, 2022, 11:15:27 PM
As soon as Barcelona received some money, they immediately began to spend it. All of these signings are good in terms of boosting competition in La Liga and giving Barcelona some chance in the Champions League, but what if those spending don't pay off? If we imagine that the next season for Barcelona will be unsuccessful (I assume exactly this), then their financial situation will worsen even more. I wonder what they will sell next time to repay debts.
This is why they are going to lose a ton of money in the future and will never recover as well. They have spent all the money they got so far and that is why they will keep being bad for the longest time since they never really learned their lesson. Think about it, we are talking about a situation where Barcelona ended up having a bit of a money problem right? They made wrong moves and spent a lot of money and that caused them to be in a big loss? Well what are they doing right now? They are literally going to end up with the same thing, they ended up spending soooo much in just one off-season when they should have saved a lot of money in such an important year.
On this occasion, Bayern Munich head coach Julian Nagelsmann spoke beautifully that Barcelona is the only club that has no money, but buys all the players it wants Grin It's just that Barcelona is trying in every way to remain competitive at the highest rate, so it uses all means to do this. On the other hand, Barcelona remains a big club that wants quick success here and now, and this requires a lot of money. The option when the club loses several years to put its finances in full order obviously will not suit either the club's management or its fans. Therefore, one has only to admire how Barcelona is doing its business now, using the power of its brand at full capacity, but this is very risky and in this way you can drive yourself into a huge deep abyss from which you will then have to get out for a long time.

Mourinho is doing pretty well, maybe not great in my opinion because he hasn't really done anything out of the ordinary, yes they won the Conference League, but it is not a special tournament, it is the third tier in European Football, behind the CL, and UEL, so I can't call it a great achievement, remember that Roma also failed to finish in the top four last season; do not get me wrong, i am not trying to undermine Mourinho's influence on the team, but I do not think he has done too much that is worthy of excessive praise. Having said that, he is not signing players that are bad at all, I am pretty sure they will aid them next season, but l do not think they can win the Seria A next season, they will be challenging for a top four finish, but definitely not the trophy.
You may be surprised, but Roma had no official club trophies before, except for the Fairs Cup won in 1961, which was the predecessor of the UEFA Cup and which UEFA itself does not consider an official tournament, so for Roma winning the UEFA Conference League is a significant event and the first official club trophy at the international level. Therefore, Jose Mourinho has already achieved success with the team and progress is visible. As far as I know, the management and the American owner of the club, Dan Friedkin, soberly assess their capabilities and it seems that there is no question of necessarily winning the title this season. We are talking about moving forward and I think that winning the club's participation in the Champions League next season would undoubtedly be considered by the club's management as a real goal and an achievable result.

I have also started to see this situation like that as of now. If Conte wasn't brought to the manager position then it was a huge possibility for Kane to leave Tottenham. However Conte's arrival started to change many things about the team quickly. Kane was performing really bad before him but he started to score many goals and make assists again after Conte came. There have just been rumours about this transfer for some time and I just thought for once if it could be real.
Oh, yes, I think Harry Kane is one of the supporting figures, experienced and reputable players, on the basis of which Antonio Conte will build Tottenham's game next season. As Conte himself has just stated that he thinks he has a young team with a lot of players who will play for three or four years, he is trying to create a solid foundation to fight for something important. If Levy decided not to sell Kane when the player himself and Pep Guardiola personally wanted it, when a very impressive sum was at stake, then now that the management has such a powerful specialist as Conte, then I don't think anyone in the club's management can have such an idea as selling Kane. Especially if it is perfectly clear that Conte and Kane have a great working relationship and the player is not going anywhere. Here we need to see how the upcoming season will go, what Tottenham's progress will be, and only then will it be possible to talk about the likelihood of Kane's transfer anywhere.

We will see if Liverpool really made a mistake by selling Sadio Mane. It is still early to make such predictions about the situation. As I said before, it is depending on how the new trio will play and how Darwin Nunez especially will play in this season. Liverpool got really close to a championship in the league last season but lost their chance by inches. They need to put a bigger effort into it this time to be able to get ahead of Manchester City. They will need to decrease the amount of points lost in easier games to make a difference.
Well, the championship hasn't started yet, so it's not worth reducing everything back to the fight between Liverpool and Manchester City for the title. Moreover, Chelsea looked good in the first half of the last championship. Sadio Mane and Liverpool made their choice and decided to continue their lives separately, and only the upcoming season's tournaments themselves will show whether Liverpool and Tuchel were right to bet on extending their contract with Salah. But in any case, I understand some of the logic of the club when they decided to satisfy the financial needs of only one player of not the youngest age, and not both players.

And now it is official, De Ligt from Juvenus to Bayer for 77m €
In my opinion, €77m is a cheap price for a talented and young center-defenders like De Light. Bayern once again can sign a new player at an affordable price. In the future, De Light clearly will be valued above €100m. Well, I really appreciate the capability of Bayern scouts, they did a great job and always choose the right player for the club. Congratulations!!
Unless you remember at the same time for what amount de Ligt himself was bought from Ajax. And there I would like to remind you there was an amount in the region of 85 million that Juventus paid for the transfer of a football player. Therefore, we can talk about a certain discount, and if Juventus went for such a thing, it may mean that the club is experiencing some disappointment about the future prospects of a football player. Therefore, I was still in no hurry to get excited about this, although of course de Ligt will only be 23 in August and we can say that the football player still has everything ahead of him about his football career. Although, of course, this is a serious sum for Bayern Munich and it is obvious that the club's scouting department and management have probably calculated all the consequences of this step.

Yes, there is nothing strange and every player is free to play for any team because a club will also not be careless to recruit players, a club of course has its own rules for buying players so as long as a club can pay for it then it will be fine. I'm just surprised, Ronaldo who has got everything from the social media side he is the first person who has a lot of followers, has his own business and is rich of course but Ronaldo still wants to play at his old age. Not only that, I think if Ronaldo has got everything then Ronaldo must be able to accept to stay at Manchester United, play in the Champions League or not I think that is no longer a target that must be achieved by Ronaldo.
from the conditions experienced by ronaldo he should have understood that he is no longer young and his performance will also decline, when he wants to continue to feel the atmosphere of competing on the field maybe another option is to retire and become a coach of a team, this possibility is difficult because indeed It's hard to build a good team and it's too soon to be a coach. I'm sure Ronaldo is still very confused about his life goals.
I am not sure that Ronaldo has a coaching career in his immediate life plans. In general, I think that after Cristiano's career as a player ends, then for sure he will take a break for a while and just enjoy his rest and only then will decide in which direction to move on. The maximum that Ronaldo will do during this period is some kind of representative work in something related to football. As for the current events, I think that everything will be decided after the player's face-to-face meeting with Manchester United head coach Ten Hag. At least, there is information that Ten Hag will not give his approval for the transfer of a football player to another team until he himself meets and discusses all issues with him.

Roma can steal Dybala from the hands of other interested teams any time. I'm even surprised about his waiting as free agent for this long. Roma are the most serious contender to sign him and I don't expect Dybala to create any problem about this deal. He can find a big opportunity to reshine at Roma. He is having his most productive ages in fact and he must play as much as possible to take advantage of it. He is still a quite skilled striker in the end. I will be wondering how he will react if he gets an offer from the Premier League for example as well.
As far as I understand, Roma does not agree to pay the 7 million that the footballer himself would like to receive, so everything is not so clear here. There is information that Roma offers 4.5 million plus bonuses, as it is now customary to furnish most clubs. Another question is what conditions these bonuses are provided with and maybe the same thing can be obtained in total. On the other hand, the club can insure itself in this way in some way if, nevertheless, the Dybala will not succeed and will not have the expected benefit. I am very skeptical about the option with the English Premier League, given the certain traumatism of the football player and the rather rigid style that is cultivated in British football. I think that Italian football or Spanish is more suitable for Dibala, if the offer of Atletico Madrid and the interest of Diego Simeone himself is still in force.

Lol that's some disrespect.. But a true one. Cristiano wanted really bad to have a club with high capability to win something as he is seeing manchester united are not in that position especially with a rebuilding plan feom zero plus they are not in champions league. He is looking to write more history in his last years being an active pro player , we cannot blame him tho.
Ronaldo clearly does not like the transfer campaign that Manchester United is conducting this offseason, so such rumors may well have grounds. Another question is that nothing like this has officially sounded directly from Ronaldo, for example, unlike Lewandowski. It's really not worth accusing Ronaldo of any mortal sins, he just expected a completely different attitude from the club's management and direct teammates when he returned to Manchester United. The football player has only a few seasons left at the top level and it is clear that his desire to spend this time as productive as possible with the fight for titles, rather than the struggle to get into the zone of the Champions League participants.

Too early and too easy to say that this is the end of the market. Well, the crypto bearish era is something that is very usual and this is likely a cycle. In every bullish and bearish, there will be also FUD that reports about the negative sides and end of cryptocurrency. This has been since for many years past. But in fact, the crypto industry is still ongoing now and many developments are here. So does this current bearish market, we can just be more patient and wait for the market to be normal and then bullish again. DOn't hurry to state about the end of the market.
Any bear or bull market always has its limits and boundaries. I would still not argue that this is for a long time because there are too many variables that can ultimately affect the result. Let's not forget that in its current state, the cryptocurrency market is pretty much synchronized with traditional stock markets, and it is at this stage that we can say that the bearish trend will end when the same thing happens on the stock market. And even more so, it is not worth talking about the end of the market, but however, those who are in the topic should already get used to that such conversations appear with regular frequency when negative phenomena occur in the cryptocurrency market and are still successfully overcome in the end, therefore, based on previous experience, it should be expected that this will happen in further.
