I think Harry Kane is going to sign a new contract at Totthenham and won't go anywhere.What I see here is just a game plan by Kane to make the board sign more quality players that will make the team more stronger.They haven't won any trophy for a long time,and it's enough reason to frustrate any player putting in his effort to make that team move forward.Harry Kane has been very consistent in terms of goal scoring and I see him as the best striker in the premier league.If Kane were to be in a team like Mancity where they have all the best players,he will definitely score more goals than Haaland. Therefore,I don't think any move to either PSG or Bayern will materialise this season,and if a deal should happen,it depends on the kind of signings their new coach makes this season.

Your last two sentences sound like a good reason why he should leave Tottenham though in my opinion. Also the last news that i heard about that possible transfer of Harry Kane to Munich was that interview of Uli Hoeneß in which he said that Kane and his agents have said, that he wants to come to Bayern Munich. So i really doubt that the Team around Kane is just using Bayern Munich to be in a better position to negotiate a new contract with Tottenham. This would mean that Kane and his agents have straight up lied to the officials of Bayern Munich and i just can not imagine that they would do that kind of stuff.

Harry Kane still hasn’t made up his mind whether or not he wants to remain at Tottenham. Bayern Munich are feeling confident that they can secure a deal with Tottenham for their star player this summer. Bayern Munich have seen two bids already rejected but still believe a deal will be agreed soon and Kane will make a switch to join Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich.

As far as i know, Harry Kane has already decided that he wants to join Bayern Munich but of course to make this happen both clubs involved need to find a solution that is acceptable for both sides first, which is not that easy i think. Tottenham wants a lot of money for Harry Kane even though he is already 30 years old and he only has 1 year worth of contract left. So i hope the officials of Bayern Munich are not paying Tottenham 100 M€ for Kane. I would rather wait until next season or look for another striker in this summer. For that amount of money you can get a striker that is also great and that is at least 5 years younger.

How can I understand a meme coin's position in the current market? Is there any way to tell if it will be good or bad? I have seen MEXC exchange add many meme tokens daily. How to identify a good token from here?

My personal advice would be, to categorically stay away from all meme-coins. In the end they are all just useless shit coins that are offering nothing to it's customers but hype and artificial FOMO, that is not even working in most of the cases. There is no doubt that a few people became very rich because they were very early investors of Shiba Inu or Pepe but for those two successful meme-coins there are at leat 100.000 bad ones where the investors made a loss or even lost all of their money because the project was a scam to begin with or just dead again in a few hours or days. This is happening to almost all meme-coins. So it is safer to just avoid them.

bayern munich has upgraded in defense and made the signing of Min-Jae Kim official.
the 26-yo south korean, who was voted best defender in the past serie a season, joins from italian champions ssc napoli and signs a contract until summer 2028. the transfer fee is €50 million

Finally this deal is now officially confirmed after basically every news station has already reported that the transfer will happening like two weeks ago or so. I have to admit, that i did not really know Min Jae Kim before because i did not watch many games of Napoli in the last few years and when i did i did not pay to much attention to him. I did some research though and it seems that Bayern has signed a really great defender here. He can be a direct replacement for Lucas Hernandez and i think that he can be just as good as him and in addition to that i hope that Kim will not be injured as often as Hernandez was during his time at Bayern.

As cryptocurrency continues to gain popularity, more and more people are investing in various crypto projects. Unfortunately, with this rise in interest comes an increase in scams.

 Here are signs that a crypto project may be a scam:

Well if we are following your 4th point, then this means that every single meme coin is a scam because none of them has a real use case and they are all just trying to generate hype and FOMO out of nowhere. To be honest i totally agree with that statement.
There are also a few more signs that a project is crap and just imagining things that will never happen like for example a roadmap that only has points like "listing on major exchange" or "10k holders after a month". That is stuff that does not belong in a roadmap.

If there's anything about crises between the two teams then it'll surely be Barcelona who's currently having financial crises. However Barcelona still remain as one of the best teams in the league despite their inability to sign as many players as they'll wish to.
Barcelona won the league last season even when it was visible that Real Madrid had better squad which will surely make Madrid to try make up for their shortcomings when the new season kickoff.

Well Real Madrid also has a lot of debts as almost every Club in the spanish league but i guess for most clubs it is already a normal thing now to have huge debts, which is a very bad thing of course and i hope this changes again in the future but i doubt it.
Even among those spanish clubs FC Barcelona still stands out though because they have far more than 1 billion € of debts and really need to be careful to keep the club running and to not go bankrupt. I hope they have learnt from their mistake and begin to reduce their debts.

Oliver Kahn's working as the chairman lasted only 2 years for Bayern Munich before his getting sacked. Jan-Christian Dreesen is the new chairman of the team now. I wonder how big change this will bring about as well. Because Bayern Munich are known by their being a very disciplined team. They need to keep this vision by making the right decisions for their future. For example the sacking of Nagelsmann was really untimely as they were in a critical time period of the season. Not much time after that we saw Kahn and Salihamidzic getting sacked.

In every field they need to act smart to keep being the most dominant team of the Bundesliga. This is possible with only the right management.

I personally feel that the sacking of Julian Nagelsmann was not a wrong decision. Yes it came at a very difficult time but this was probably the only chance to get Thomas Tuchel as their new coach so they had to sack him back then and not after the season. I think that Nagelsmann was already to pleased with himself and going on this ski trip even though the team has just lost the lead in the Bundesliga was very weird to me.
Reading the statements of many Bayern officials after the sacking of Kahn that it apparentely was the case that Kahn was disliked by most of the FC Bayern employees on the Säbener Straße and that Kahn's advisors also were disliked heavily there.
Almost everyone was relieved when Kahn was sacked.

Barcelona might offer Frenkie de Jong in a swap deal with Bernardo Silva. Technically they have nearly the same amount of market values so this must be the reason why Barcelona want to try their luck in this. However these players don't even play exactly in the same position. Frenkie de Jong is more like a central midfielder and he helps defense mostly as well.

But on the other hand Bernardo Silva is more like an attacking midfielder and he can play as right winger at the same time. I wouldn't expect Manchester City to be okay about losing one of their best attacking players in this way. They would rather expect an only money deal for Silva to think about it. But Barcelona's can't make such signing right now due to financial situations in the La Liga as far as I know.

Reading this post my first thought was that this would be a very bad deal for FC Barcelona if they would do a 1:1 trade with Frenkie De Jong and Bernardo Silva because i thought that Silva is way older than De Jong, but i just checked that now and De Jong is also 26 years old already and only 2 years younger than Silva. So if it makes sense for both clubs and also for the players of course then a 1:1 swap of those two could definitely make sense for everyone.
I don't understand though why a player like Silva that is a very important player would want to leave ManCity, which is the strongest club in the moment, for a club like Barca which is a top 10 club at the moment and not more. Maybe personal reasons because in terms of the sportive value it would definitely be a downgrade for him.

Wow,i expected this transfer weeks ago and i was thinking it aint gonna happen but now this just looks insane. What a transfer for Arsenal and this will really impact their upcoming season. Arsenal never paid anything so big and this is what makes this transfer big. They needed a good midfielder after Xhaka left and they got a world class one.

Well just because a transfer is big like big in the sense of very expensive does not automatically mean that it is a great transfer. I think that the 122 M€ + additional possible bonus payments are at least 30 Million € to much for Declan Rice. He only had one year of contract left at Westham United so that is a really hefty price tag for him.
So i would say, that it definitely was a great transfer for Westham United to get this much money for a player, that would have probably not prolonged his current contract anyway and that would have left the club almost certainly without any transfer fee after the next season. Time will tell if he is really worth that 122 M€+ that they have paid for him.

Virtually talking, Dortmund get the Bundesliga title and throw it to Bayern Munich at the last moment for no reason.
It is true on paper Bayern Munich added another trophy to theirs but they should not consider that as an achievement. They should regret playing that way in the previous season and they are doing their best to rebuild the squad. They are seeking now Harry Kane to close the gap in their attack line and Kyle Walker to consolidate the defensive line.

I think you are definitely right, that Bayern Munich should not be happy with the last season even though they managed to win the Bundesliga trophy literally in the last minutes of the season. I also think though that the officials and also the players of Bayern Munich are very much aware of the fact that they have played a very bad Bundesliga season and that things needs to change and to improve for the coming season.
Almost every player that i saw in an interview after the last Bundesliga season has said things like that.
The squad of Bayern Munich will see some significant changes in the next week i would guess. Players like Pavard, Sommer and Mane are likely also Goretzka could leave the club too while other players will join the team instead.
31  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 15, 2023, 11:18:35 AM
It is a bold thing to say that Dortmund won't be winning the Bundesliga title for sure in the coming a few years. But I can't deny the fact that Bayern Munich have been dominating this league for 11 seasons straight. Last season was the biggest opportunity for Dortmund to finish their series but they messed everything up in the final moment.

Now it is again up to Bayern Munich's performance level. As long as Tuchel has a good system working for them I will be expecting the continuation of this dominance from where it left. Dortmund can't deal with them while they are showing a high consistency. Dortmund can only benefit from a possible chance in case of Bayern Munich's being out-of-form.

I am not saying that Bayern will definitely be the Bundesliga Champion in the next 5 years too. I just think that Borussia Dortmudn will probably not get a chance as big as they had the last season to become Champions themself. I think that in the last season it was not only Bayern Munich that showed very poor performances for their standards but RB Leipzig also. They had a very bad start into the season and even had to change the coach back in september.
So i think that it is very much possible that Dortmund will not become Bundesliga Champion even if Bayern Munich is not winning it, because other clubs like Leizpig and Leverkusen have a squad just as strong as the one of Dortmund in my opinion.

To all those who had doubts about Rice to Arsenal deal after Arsenal delaying the announcement, here is confirmation from Fabrizio Romano on twitter reporting to announcement to happen today. It was a done deal since a week and maybe they did a bit of delay due to some formalities but there was no backing away or other clubs chiming in to hijack the deal. A star signing 🌟 for Arsenal.

Now Westham United has already officially confirmed, that Declan Rice will leave the club. It is said that the transfer fee for Rice is 122 M€ PLUS possible bonus payments, so this is a really really high transfer fee on my opinion. It is not officially confirmed though where Rice is going to, but as you already said, it is only a formality to present him as a new player of Arsenal and i also agree that this is a really big transfer for Arsenal. In my personal opinion 122 M€ for Rice is to much though. His market value is 90 M€ and i don't get why you would pay 30 Million € more than that, because he only had 1 year worth of contract left at Westham.

Vlahovic can leave Juventus if Mbappe will leave PSG or if Bayern can't buy Harry Kane.
The price tag for Juventus is around €80m and both teams can pay it

Hmm i don't really know if i would be happy as a supporter of Bayern Munich or Paris Saint Germain if my club would sign Dusan Vlahovic as their new number 9. I know that Juventus paid a very high transfer fee for him too, but i just looked at his stats of the last season and i have to say i am not really impressed with his 10 goals and 2 assists. The fact that Juventus seems to be willing to already let Vlahovic go for pretty much the same amount of money as they have paid for him is already a sign for me that Juventus also expected a better performance from him.
I personally would try to sign Osimhem or Kolo Muani instead if i were Bayern and if i could not get Kane.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 14, 2023, 08:24:16 PM
Bayern Munich this season is going to try for the Champions League but this time I think unlike the last season Tuchel can give more stability to Bayern Munich on the other hand this Drtmound lost their key player and they can't race with Bayern Munich and make a problem for them.
Also if they hire Kane Bayern Munich is going to be even more dangerous. 

I already said this before, but i am pretty sure that in the next 5 years or so Borussia Dortmund will not get such a big chance to become Bundesliga champion again as they had this year. The last season of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga was probably their worst in at least 10 years and Dortmund had it in their own hands to become champion not only once but multiple times.
Now Bayern is heavily rebuilding their squad and of course it is also a possibility that Bayern is not doing well again in the Bundesliga, but even then i think that clubs like Bayern Leverkusen and also RB Leipzig are at least at the same level as Borussia Dortmund at the moment in terms of the quality of the squad.

There have been a positive response of the market following the court rulling in favour of Ripple (XRP). The crypto market cap gained as much as 6.5% in the last 24 hours. Truly, we cannot deny the excitement that comes with this among crypto enthusiasts. But are we truly out of the woods? Is this enough fuel to sustain an upward trajectory?

Yesterday when i randomly checked coinmarketcap i was really surprised to see basically every crypto project in the green zone and of course ripple with a pump of 80% at that time. Then when i read the news about that court ruling i also knew the reason for that. This was not only a great ruling for ripple but for the crypto market as a whole.
I don't really think though that we are out of the woods yet to be honest. At the moment the market is already correcting a little again but of course this is also normal after such a heavy and almost instant pump.
I still think that we still have to wait a little longer, until a real bull market starts.

There are reports that Bayern Munich and Kyle Walker have reached a verbal agreement on a contract. I think Thomas Tuchel is the driving force behind Walker’s pursuit, with his contract at Manchester City set to expire next season. Honestly, I’ll reference the Treble win. And that is some of the adverse effects of winning, They've done it all so they want to seek new challenges. If Walkers leaves, Pep will have to sign a new right back to replace him.

I have also read this rumor today and i have to say that i am not really sure, if this would be such a good transfer for Bayern Munich. Kyler Walker is 33 years old already and i generally don't really think that transfers of such "old" players are really that good for a team. I have also read that maybe Benjamin Pavard is going to Manchester City then it would basically an exchange of players between ManCity and Bayern Munich. If this really happens, then i would hope that Bayern would at least get 20 Million € or something on top from Manchester City because Pavard is only 27 years old and therefore his market value is way higher than the one of Kyle Walker.

I think it will notbe easy for Schalke this time. Before they managed to go straight back up after relegation. But this time it will be more difficult. As you wrote, important players have left to direct competitors. I think they would not have done that if they were sure that Schalke would be promoted again. The risk that Schalke will stay in Bundesliga 2 for several years just like Hamburger SV is greater this time.

Even though many players have left Schalke 04 i would still say, that their squad is definitely still among the best of the second Bundesliga. If we are looking only at the total market value of the squads than Hertha BSC has the best squad by far with a value of 80 Million €, the Hamburger SV which is second on that list does not even have half of that value 39,5 M€, directly after Hamburg comes Schalke already with 30 Million €. So of course it will be hard to get directly back into the first division, but i think that Schalke really has a very realistic chance to achieve this. There is still time until the league starts and i am sure we will still see some changes to the current squads too.

Tuchel looks like he will completely overhaul his team for this season. several players are reportedly ready to be released including Mane. and maybe this is also one of Munich's efforts to bring in Kane.

If Sadio Mane will really leave Bayern Munich again after only 1 year, then i think this was definitely one of the most disappointing transfers of Bayern Munich in the last decade. Mane was an absolute world class player at Liverpool and when the first rumors started to appear last year that Mane might come to Bayern Munich i think many did not even believe it at the beginning. Then he really came and the expectations where extremely high obviously. Sadly it did not work out at all, at least not in the last part of the season. At the beginning everything was ok i would say.
If Bayern will sell Mane then they can save his very high salary of 22 Million € per year. This is even more important than the transfer fee they will get for him.
39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: July 13, 2023, 10:17:16 AM
^^^^ The next season of Saudi Professional League will be a blockbuster one. They are signing so many star players who are currently playing in the European leagues. The contract with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is worth £34 million, which will work to £17 million per season. And this time Lazio wanted to keep him at any cost, but in the end they could not compete with the Saudi Arabian money power. His current salary at Lazio is just around £3,900,000 per year, so that means that he will be getting more than 4x increase from Al Hilal.

Hmm i don't want to sound to rude but the Saudi Professional League will always be a circus show without any sportive value. It is the same now as the Major League Soccer in the United States. Very big and popular players with a huge reputation that are already way past their prime will go there at the end of their career to make some huge bank for the last time.
Sometimes even players in their prime are going to such a league because they simply can not resist the big salaries that are paid there. That being said, i don't know of any Tier 1 club in Europe (like ManCity, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich) that was interested in signing Milinkovic-Savic. If that would be the case then he would have stayed in Europe too i am sure.

Watching PSG and Mbappe play with such high stakes is fascinating. Mbappe, as you correctly pointed out, has his sights set on the pinnacle of the Champions League. But what I really want to know is if PSG is making serious preparations to give up its king. The club has spent a total of 155.50 million euros on new players in the past few months, suggesting that they are preparing for a period of transition. Does the team's recent move to add players like Ugarte, and Kang-in Lee signal an imminent exit for Mbappe? Then there's Neymar, whose price tag is falling.

I think by now it is pretty obvious to anyone, that Mbappe does not want to play for Paris Saint Germain anymore. Therefore i would hope that the official of PSG are already planning for the time after Mbappe. When he is gone i think it is safe to say that the time of the huge names at PSG is over. Only Neymar is left then and it is not even sure yet if he will maybe also leave the club.
I also think that in retrospective the whole PSG strategy so far was a pretty big fail. They have spent ridiculously high amounts of money to buy the biggest names in the sports, no matter if it is good for the chemistry in the team or not. The most recent transfers make more sense in my opinion. Good players without huge names.
