I didn't expect that Man United lost 0-2. I bet this game would end goalless. Because in the first half both teams played equally strong. But after the half-two break, Totenham managed to make a goal from a counterattack, and Martinez's own goal. Man United had a lot of good chances, but they couldn't make a goal. Rashford are not playing optimally, they don't look like they have a number 9. Hojlund's arrival is expected to solve this problem, but his position is still injured. So it looks like Ten Hag will have to be patient with the current conditions.

Normally, I knew how difficult that match would have been considering that it's an away match for Manchester United but since Kane wasn't available anymore, I thought it will be a wise move to include Manchester United for win or draw match, I was shock to see what they did at the end, it wasn't just humiliating. I was disappointed and lost my bet, of 3 matches that I staked, it was only Manchester United that didn't bring my tickets home. I accepted my faith but what was it with the 3 goals the conceded, I wasn't the expect that kind of performance from Manchester United as early as the start of this season.

I thought Chelsea are done with the banter? This is going to be a long ride but I don't think it will be smooth one, perhaps a mad max furry because, this is too early to start not after all the transfer tweaking Pochettino had done. Last week, Enzo was praised for his performance but I didn't see anything spectacular about that but today penalty, they all changed the story because the banter was crazy, Caicedo that was making the Media headline gave them there worst nightmare that made West Ham to have extra goal. At this point, I don't know who to blame anymore, not Pochettino Manager nor the players, everything is wrong with Chelsea, how can 11 players be playing against 10 players and to score a single goal becomes a mission impossible.

Bitcoin is changing the payment system in the world right now. Payments made in Bitcoin are always fast to receive and do not days to receive.

This phrase is one of the best words to shut people back then who don't believe in the crusade of bitcoin, if people could see the transformation of Email in how they revolutionized the way of conveying letters from senders to receivers, then Bitcoin has a future to change the financial institution but deep down, there are limitation to what bitcoin can do, I hope you do see how the price fell from $29k to $24k within 4 hours of yesterday, volatility is the primary concerns here, not to talk of the transaction speed.

However, I'm happy that financial institutions now recognized bitcoin in their portfolio, and the increase in adoption has been great adoption for bitcoin, it may not really change/transform bitcoin the way banks works because the ways of bitcoin is just different from the ways of the banks.

Stablecoins actually partially solved the problem of volatility in the crypto market. The emergence of new stablecoins and the development of Ethereum can really create a positive change in the industry. The ability to link the real value of assets helps to create stability and facilitate more favorable for the use of cryptocurrencies in daily transactions.

However, there is no denying Bitcoin's important role in changing the way we understand finance and manage wealth. The decentralization and self-control of users for Bitcoin are really strong points, creating safety and freedom in managing personal assets.

Seeing that they have been forced to stop services for UK citizens means low income patronize from customers and this stablecoin PYUSD is just what they are trying to implement to have their daily bread from customers, nothing new under the sun, just the same bullshit but different ecosystem, they are not a trading platform to begin with, when they issued the stablecoin, they will have to collaborate with trading exchanges to increase the adoption for people to use, they are nothing but another baby USDT looking for market shares and the revenue distribution from the already dominated companies (such as USDT, USDC, BUSD, [XUSD or USDX X= to the company name])

Overtime I hardly made use of twitter account and it calls to my noticed that twitter logo was replaced to X instead of the previous logo. Now I was curious to know why such thing happened and why change logo X, does it positively affect the users in any way?
I don't know how many of you are regular user of twitter since I barely relates over there and I noticed is not cool for me to always use since the sold out to Elon Musk that was my ending love of using that social network.

If topic already existed I don't mind locking this thread.

Haven't your heard of Intellectual property right? The trade mark and copyright. Elon has been the same person with the same dream from day 1 and the reason for choosing X will remain his trade mark, nobody can explain the reason why he chose that except him and the people around him, everything that surrounds Elon Musk has X and it has the relation with Space X. There could be more reason why chose that to replace Twitter platform to X but in my opinion, the name X has already a big brand that is globally known and its reputation, it will be easier to brand it for to that instead of using the parent name Twitter.

I am not sure, but it could also be attributed to the similar app(Thread) Zuckerberg created some days ago that mimics Twitter, and to protect the code and copyright, they have to change it to X to keep it from other people from abusing the creation.

Have anyone wonder why stable coins are safe all this while from Gensler and SEC, even the government? Why hasn't there any hunt on those centralized stablecoins? Is there something we don't know? Are stable coins somehow settled with the government and SEC behind the curtain?

Because if stable coins was target it will be a enormous hit to the whole crypto market, why haven't such thing happened yet? I also read where the former Binance.US said that the White House is trying to keep stable coins "out of discussions" like they know something.

Is this all about saving their USD? Or they are waiting to create CBDC successfully first before they go after stable coins?

You need to understand why SEC is after some particular coins and tokens and not USDT, BTC, ETH.
From the definition of securities, I quote:

Quote
What are securities and examples?
At a basic level, security is a financial asset or instrument that has value and can be bought, sold, or traded[1].

That being said; Sec believes that more than 70% of tokens in the crypto market are believed to be securities and for them to be traded or sold in the United States, they need to be formally registered and anything without the registration is term as illegal and crime and that is why you see the other day, they Sued Coinabase, Matic, Solana, Avalanche, Cardano and others for Violating the SEC rules and regulations.

USDT on the other hand, the SEC has not ruled anything for the stablecoin but they fine Binance for issuing BUSD as security and that begs the question if they are hiding something from the public, stablecoins are not an investment in the US, they are redeemable to fiat in equivalent 1:1 ratio, perhaps they have been lobbying the SEC or did some registration to avoid been scrutinized because BUSD is not an investment and USDT is not an investment either. The two are never USDT at least to my basic level of understanding why SEC has been attacking other projects.

946  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hacker attacks again on: August 17, 2023, 02:23:54 PM
Now, let's have an update about the curve finance. recently it had an issue where a hacker entered it and it happened on July 30, 2023. So what Curve did was they offered the hacker to return its fund and they will give 10% bounty rewards. And it will not be charged or imprisoned. The offer was accepted and the stolen assets were returned. But the hacker did not complete its full refund from other pools.

Because it has a deadline now it has passed. Now the rewards are offered just to identify the attackers. Also, what do you think is the reason and why did the hacker return the funds to another protocol? he said
Quote
He doesn't want to ruin the project.
and that's not the reason he's afraid of being identified.

Because it seems that what the hacker wants to release or make him look like is that the authorities cannot identify him. Let's see what happens here, because we know that the hacker is not invincible because there are and still are others caught. What happened to the Bitfinex hacker even after a long time was still caught. But if it turns out that a north Korwan hacker was able to access curve finance, it is unlikely to be recovered for sure.

Source: https://m.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/curve-finance-opens-bounty-after-exploiters-return-deadline-expires-3146166

It still baffle me how decentralized exchanges and protocols are insecured and prone to hacking, even the centralized exchanges don't get this level of hack exposures like the way this protocol does and it beg the question whether they need to be fully audited for the safety of the public, special auditing by other firms that focus on decentralization, at least seeing them exposed to some hacked attempt of beta test before the public, if that will save the sanity of these public theft, I will love it.

It obvious that whoever that hacker is, must have some information within the group or perhaps it was a fully insider work and the person is playing mind games just to avoid tracing or who knows he is not that expert in hacking to cover his tracks, otherwise there are people that are very good in hacking and will get away with whatever they stole, the coins or tokens they stole could be trace but their identity will remain unknown forever; there are some BTC that have been stolen for ages, they are visible in some wallets but how they move those BTC are steal unknown.
947  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Scalpers and day traders, what makes you to make profit in trading? on: August 17, 2023, 02:00:23 PM
I have been trading with just just $500 for a long time now, the story was a success, but the profit is minimal. With $500, the day gain can be as low as $1 to $2.5. No leverage than 1x to start. But I will go up not more than 3x to 5x max while losing to let the entry price with the mark price become closer for better profit.

But there are days that are not favorable and I left the position opened if it is still just 1x.

Increasing the leverage increases the risk and the closer the liquidation, but 5x is still good.

This makes trading to be positive for me as I do not use too much leverage that has been making me to lose and lose in trading.

What are you strategies that trading has been profitable for you?

Profits of $1 and $2.5 dollars are small profit with such capital, how do you settle the trading fees? Is it after the fees you get that PNL? I think there are other pairs in the exchanges you can trade to make an average of 5% in a single trade. With such a candle move, 5% of your margin is enough to give you a $25 profit, give or take you should be able to make more than $15 a day at an average condition of the market.

A 5x should increase your margin total capital to $1500, if the risk-to-profit ratio of any trade you have in mind is low, it will do you no good, I think that original capital is good enough for sweet profit unless now that the market is not stable to open trades.

👏The list goes on, but these are the main points. Think about it. I'm sure you thought you were completely different, but absolutely everyone thinks so))))🧘

Ok, now this looks like the old days when we used to have people come to our college tell us about unsuccessful stories and sell their handbook with us about how to succeed in life, I think your post is saying the same thing, no direction just epic story without even mode of communication. The headline says we are all the same and yet you are just lamenting and beating around the bush, I don't know if this is a trading discussion or you are pissed off about a trade you lost, if that's the case, take a break and cool off.

Your feedback though, still says the same thing and in addition to your subject, we are not the same and we can never be the same. Just because you lost a position doesn't mean others did, they probably made the opposite and cashout big, we don't think the same thing even when we all have common goals of making a profit in the end, the strategic way of thinking differs from individual, let that sink man and please try refraining from creating unnecessary threads.
949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Next Bitcoin Bull Run: Is It Tied to the Next Halving? on: August 16, 2023, 04:34:51 PM
Logic would tell me that there isn't much bitcoin left to mine, what about 2 million last time I checked. So as a supply side it's already there.  So I would expect a slightly muted response over other halving. Fomo leading to a false bull.

I will happily give my BTC and haircut at that time and take peoples money

Your comment sound like an anti bitcoin in person, many people have thought about this when we just had the last Bull run and guess what, we had an incredible run that we have long had in this space, people profited and some left and the journey continue from there until we hit a milestone of $58K, This time around, do you know where will be heading this time? Technically, not an assurance but we are going to have a Bull run whether they like it or not because the miners can't be sustainable with 3.125 BTC to maintain their business and while you are away to give your BTC, you will buy them at a high price because it's becoming deflationary every day in supply and the demand will continue to increase.

When you are going for a haircut, please take me along, I will like to shave my beards, too much eye on BTC and no time to trim them. Wink

However, if it's an overpaid fee in a transaction, perhaps you made a mistake during the course of a transaction, they may (low chances) return the fees to you for the error.
Whatever tx fee or fee rate attached to your tx goes to the miner, even if you estimated wrongly and overpaid, there is no such return, the fees is what miners use to decide the priority of transactions in the mempool, they can't decide if you willingly overpaid or not. In a tx what returns back to you is change, if there is any. If you are spending a particular utxo, but you are not spending all of it, one of the outputs returns to you as change. Tx fee is simply inputs - outputs, that is what finally goes to the miner.

LOL.  Grin
Perhaps you should play with advanced options on your Bitcoin wallets, eletrum wallet is simple as that to see if you can pay more for a transaction or not. Sometimes, we overpay for transaction fees so they can get mine as quickly as possible, and with that in mind, there is a likelihood of overpaying for fees you didn't have in mind, when that happens, the transaction becomes broadcasted and with the first confirmation, that's it; Imagine realizing you paid 1.0005 for a fee, this is even more common when you set your wallet transaction in BTC instead of mBTC,. Just because it has not happened doesn't mean it wouldn't just as described above. In addition, I also stated the chances of getting back the reward are low that is why I put it in parenthesis(low chance).
951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can a transaction in a 6 block confirmation removed on: August 16, 2023, 09:25:05 AM
I've been curious to wanting to know the possibility  to reversing or removing a sent transaction on a block which has already passed 6 block confirmation and after reading a post from a free signature space of a user which I can't remember which reads "Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.
Judging from this, the writings stated that it is difficult  and not impossible and I've been wanting to know if will be possible to reverse a transaction after a 6 block confirmation?

In addition to what others have explained above; Just imagine you have 6 containers loaded with cars, that are all stacked at the top of each other and your car is stuck at the bottom of the first container, do you think it will be possible to get your car out the first container so easy, you will have to take down the first 5 containers before you can get to the last one, that is what the description is explaining, the more block is stack on top of each other, the less chances of it been reverse back.

With the current computational mining power of Bitcoin being distributed to different miners, the chances are low until you have more than about 51% of the power before that can happen. As long as you don't have that power or other miners ready to join hands with you, that is a mission impossible because once a transaction is confirmed, that is the final, it is good as dead living that no longer breathe, that block will remain sealed forever. However, if it's an overpaid fee in a transaction, perhaps you made a mistake during the course of a transaction, they may (low chances) return the fees to you for the error.

Actually, Harry Maguire's request for compensation to Man United is indeed a natural thing. Because Maguire's contract at Man United is still quite long, which is about 2 more seasons. Which is a 2-year contract worth 19.7 million pounds. So it's only natural that Maguire asks for compensation of around 15 million pounds on the basis of the remaining 2 seasons of his contract at Man United. But when it comes to self-esteem, I actually prefer to see Meguire go to West Ham because actually West Ham and Man United also agree on a transfer price. But the problem is indeed with Meguire and Man United who are both adamant in not getting an agreement regarding compensation money.

Aston Villa are indeed looking for player options they can recruit to replace Tyrone Mings, who suffered a serious knee injury in his first match against Newcastle last week. But Aston Villa is only limited to monitoring and not yet at the stage of planning a bid. Because it could be that Aston Villa will target other players.

Manchester United is not stupid, we have seen over the years club signed players but the majority of them change their minds for another club due to some reasons and I'm very confident that there are options in that contract for him to be sold at any given time and now that his performance has become a laughing stock, they have every reason to sell him without any compensation when he gets to WestHm, he will earn whatever salary he negotiate with them over there and by going to Westham, he will also be saving Manchester United his over price weekly wages because left to me, the club is only paying more than what he offered, Period!
953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: August 16, 2023, 07:43:35 AM
If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?

We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.

Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.


Addiction goes sideways, it's not when you only win before becoming a victim of it, you can play and be at a loss and when you have the intention of recovering from the loss, you can also become addicted in that process, gambling will have your attention in that period, nothing else will matter to you again and that is how addiction starts, you can the first game and lost the rest and be in that loop forever until you take a break and you can lose and continue to lose until you also wake up from that slumber.

There are many scenarios that can increase addictions; there are people that are influenced by other gamblers winning tickets and they make up their minds that as long as people win, they will also make that money from gambling, their minds are made up and hardly you can change those people back to default, it's not only after they win addiction can occur and the ridiculous thing is that they will never accept that there are in wrong paths, addicted to anything is deadly.
954  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: August 16, 2023, 07:22:20 AM
Those that keep their gambling habit a secret is it that they're not proud of what they are doing?.

When I first started gambling I kept my gambling secret from the people around me and especially from my family. However, I later realized that this was nothing to hide. Unless you're addicted to gambling it's not hard to realize that it's not actually something shameful or something to hide. I think that people who have reached the level of addiction and hide it think that gambling is a bad thing and therefore they hide their gambling addiction. Also, considering the possibility of exclusion based on religious and social pressure I think that this pressure and belief may be among the reasons for those who gamble but hide it. I don't think that people who hide that they gamble for such reasons feel regret.
Perhaps the most simple reason that explains why people hide their gambling from others is simply because they can, hiding a drug addiction is almost impossible as someone is bound to notice the change in your behavior and physical condition.

But gambling does not generate those warning signs and as such it can be hidden from your friends and loved ones for a very long period of time, and it would not be surprising if they did not discovered there was a problem until significant money problems came upon them.

Drugs are simple to see on faces, it has that physical reaction when closely observed but gambling has its own ways too. I don't know for Casino freaks but if you watch football, there is a high chance you will have this urge to gamble/bet sometimes, even the popup ads alone are enough to make one start gambling, and with this tip, you can tell when a person is into gambling, it has a way of changing mood when the last thing you expected happened at the end of the outcome, you just need to be observant and I think its easier to guess if you are also a gambler because only a gambler will know the characters of another gambler.

These are easy to detect when they are still in the early phase of gambling, when they are not winning, they get frustrated over little things; when they make a deposit and it doesn't come through, they panic, when they win a small amount, they celebrate it an as big a win, when they initiate a withdrawal and it doesn't come through, they also panic, when they detect them of violating the gambling platform rule, they run hectares for help especially if there is money in the gambling platform and many more. These are not limited to newbies in gambling, it can occur to long time gamblers but their reactions may be difficult to see.
955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 15, 2023, 10:15:14 PM
this is not only about the top European players but about the existence of the club
True. The Saudi teams are competing themselves to stay in the first places in all competitions obviously but also they have larger goals to achieve.
First they did indirectly heavy advertisement to their league, attracting the attention of everyone and surely more viewers, more TV ads, more shirts to sell, more copyrights to sell, so they are spending funds but also collecting crazy money.
Second, Saudi Arabia want to host World Cup and having a good league + a bunch of international and famous players to support it, will make their candidature stronger.
Neymar is one of the last players to confirm joining Al-Hilal, but surely others will follow in order to make the ambition of officials in Saudi Arabia true.

Those guys are just rich on the low, they don't make too much noise but deep down, they have wealth than what people can this of them. Yesterday, a fan was gifting Firmino a rolex gift for playing above his expection, man scored hattrick in the match against Al-Hazm and that was how he earned that respect, there is money in Saudi Arabia, only a matter of time you will see more players troop into and the way Ronaldo announce of not going back to Europe anytime soon; if he decide to stay in Saudi Arabia, other players will stayed and, more of them will come to Saudi Arabia and Fifa doesn't have a choice than to collaborate with them.

My challenge with Saudi Arabia league is the use of English to understand matches, I don't enjoy watching it because of the nonspeaking language and they are not too familiar or friendly with the Europeans. Laliga is even better because they can higher the commentator but I doubt if Saudi Arabia will humble anyone.
956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 14, 2023, 09:51:49 PM
Bayern Munich probably did not perform well in the opening match. The team will expect good things from the current addition of Harry Kane in the team. But what kind of performance Harry Kane will do at this age can be understood by watching some matches.
The match against RB Leipzig was not the opening match for the Bundesliga, but the Final Super Cup DFL. For Harry Kane I hope the same thing as you said, his presence is expected to make a good contribution to Munich. But the defeat was not Kane's absolute fault, because I think Kane needed several matches to adapt first.

The opening match of the Bundesliga will start on the weekend of August 19, Bayern Munich will face Bremen. We'll see how Kane performs in this opening match, whether he can be the right replacement for Lewandowski.

I'm not trying to justify Kane ability but it was shameful for Bayern to allow Olmo to have a hattrick in match, that's very poor of them but I didn't put the fault on him thought, their defenders were nothing but Crack floppy disk that were not ready to do much. Leipzig is good, no cap about that but in that match, Bayern has more qualified players than Leipzig and the manager didn't start Kane which was understandable but still, they played nonsense match or who knows because it wasn't Bundesliga that's why, they would have indirectly put it on Kane to be a bad luck to their team.

Bayern Munich last match was 2 days ago and with their next match against Bremen will be cool to watch, I want Tuchel give him more time to play, like starting the match and not be bench so he can lend sharply with the rest of the teams.

Al Nasr hired many players in this transfer window from European teams and they spent too much money on it while their main competitor, Al Hilal, didn't spend this huge amount of money compared to Al Nasr and now it seems Al Hilal wants to hire Neymar in the next season to race with Al Nasr.
However, Barcelona fans are not very sad because Neymar didn't return to the team but is going to do the medical tests and sign his contract with Al Hilal soon.



Anytime I'm about to start discussion of Saudi Arabia Pro league teams, I get annoyed with prefix of AL. Grin Al-Nasr has about 10 foreign players they splashed some euros and dollars compared to Al-Hilal that has 7 which were less performing than them prior to when they came to Saudi Arabia and that's why Nasr has more expenditures than Hilal but they just won the Saudi Champions trophy for the first time, it's worth it think for spending lots to be able to convince Ronaldo to come to Saudi Arabia.

Barcelona fans should be Happy that Neymar didn't comes back to Barcelona because to signed a high class player is easy but to three weekly allowance is the real deal, having huge debts just to win leagues is foolish, they have to win Champions League cup back to back to be able to clear all those billions debts, it's better that Neymar went for Al-Hilal than adding to the club weight debt.

This match is very easy for Man United. Wolves are still very weak in football and they are very weak against Man United.  Due to which this match is very easy for Man United. Wolves have not been playing well in football so far.  Wolves do get chances in various leagues but are not able to beat their opponents and win most of the matches. The same is going to happen in today's match with Man United.  So there will not be much excitement in this match.  The game is most enjoyable when it is played to the bone and is played with two equally strong teams.
Did you just say an easy game? Wolves is becoming a thorn in the flesh for Manchester United in recent games, though United were able to pick 6 maximum points in last season's meeting and that shouldn't make today's encounter a work over. In one of the games, the match was almost going to a stalemate until Rashford's goal in the extra minutes prove to be the decider and gave the Red devils the much needed 3 pts. Also, don't forget what happened in the first 2 opening games for Manchester United last season as they suffered shocking defeats in the hands of Brighton and Brentford. While that is in the past, they wouldn't want a repeat of last season's opener and will be taking today's game as important as every other games.

The guy is actually right, Wolves are good in ball possessiveness and making quality attack but not experts when it comes to.making of chances, Manchester United are very good in tackling them in a blink of an eye whenever they comes close to the net. Varane will had given Manchester United a lead goal and few minutes of added extra time, I think Manchester United will be having their first round 1 successful 3 points and will be going to the top of the table to align where Arsenal, Manchester City and others are currently occupied in the standing. Erik effort is showing off already however, I haven't see much from the center forward, Rashford is still sleeping or perhaps been a strikers without wingers formation a bad idea, he had just attacking Midfielders on his back.

Xavi looked completely disappointed with the draw and I think he certainly really hopes to get a win in their first match. The strategy carried out by Getafe really frustrated Barcelona, it can be seen that they play aggressively and do not hesitate to play rough. This effort seems to have paid off and made Barcelona's rhythm of play not work well.

Am not sure why xavi is disappointed after he let a clueless 11 to the pitch, midfielders on the wings and wingers on the bench. it was an awful performance down to horrible coaching and tactics from the manager Xavi. The only advantage is that it is the first game of the season and there are many opportunities to bounce back.

The only times I have seen Barcelona play roughly like this was only I Elclasico encounter With Real Madrid, yesterday match With Getafe wasn't worth the argument and the misunderstanding and I think the Ref wasn't too professional. Almost gave everyone in that match yesterday a share of their card, Getafe booked 8 yellow cards with 1 red card while Barcelona had 2 yellow with 1 red and extra one for Xavi and of course, he will have to complain if things are not done fairly by the judge, he had that right but was too emotional which personally, I understood his actions.

There is nothing lost yet, they still have 37 more matches to go, it's too early to even speak about failure now, they luckily even draw, they need to just tight their belt and play with good effort and I think Xavi will have time to cool down while off for the next 3 matches except if there is a need for the cards to be review, I will love to see that though because that referee was not professional, so many errors or should I say mistakes in decision making.

I predicted earlier that Neymar would stay amidst the speculation over Mbappe future that has not found clarity so far. But the news from Fabrizio Romano could be coming true soon, Neymar will continue his football career in the SPL. I think for now no club is willing to bet on recruiting the Basil player, apart from the high price and salary, the factor of frequent injuries makes Neymar less interested.

Al Hilal came with a fantastic offer, PSG was saved in this transfer saga. At least they can cover some of their expenses when recruiting Neymar from Barcelona.
If it can come true for Neymar, I think PSG will not be so strong this season because PSG relied on the front line a lot last season, but for this season all the players on the front line that they once relied on have gone elsewhere. and coupled with rumors about Neymar and Mbappe who are unlikely to stay at PSG anymore, although I still hope Neymar and Mbappe will want to stay at PSG this season so that PSG will not be so overwhelmed when competing in the UCL.

The bond of PSG became weaken when they let go of Messi, and clearly, they are the cause of the collapsed. No way they will want to describe it, PSG is a club any players will be careful or even avoid in the near future especially the skilled players. They are manipulative with ways of playing the players using the phrase no player is bigger than the club but we all understand that they are doing that for public domain. Look at it, Messi, Neymar and Mbape are the main forward of that team squad and they frustrate the living out of them, two has left but very soon Mbape will face the same fate.

PSG has not seen any struggle, they just started and this season will make the beginning of it because when they had inclusion of Messi and Neymar, the team was conceding more goals in Champions League than there domestic leagues, now that they are not around, it will get even worse. They may have Ousmane Dembele but I think the dude is just doing what a dreamer is doing for his club country, will also leave sooner than later.
