Harry Kane will find it difficult to get a trophy if he is still with Tottenham because during the 9 seasons he has spent with Tottenham, Harry Kane has failed to win a prestigious trophy. So there is a pretty good chance for him if he really wants to achieve topy by joining another team. But for now only Bayern munich are really serious about getting Harry kane after they sent an offer to tottenham regarding Bayern Munich's interest in getting Harry kane. Even though we have seen several attempts made by Bayern Munich, in the current conditions it seems that Tottenham are still determined not to lose the most productive striker they have.

Now that will make the situation look different from what Harry Kane has wanted because he wants to go to another club but Tottenham still want to keep him for next season, Even Tottenham has reportedly sent a new contract offer for Harry Kane. I think he is really confused by the situation he is currently in.
Harry Kane will not win any prestigious title if he stays loyal to Tottenham for long. Tottenham are a good team, but they have always struggled to win titles season after season for one reason or another. Sometimes the team's performance is good, but sometimes it's so bad that even though they can qualify for the Champions League in several seasons.

Harry Kane must be able to work up the courage to get out of his comfort zone at Tottenham. He should accept the consequences and care more about his future career instead of just being a Tottenham legend to be remembered. Harry Kane has made 435 appearances for Tottenham in various competitions and has scored 280 goals and 60 assists so far, but is still short on team titles.

He wants to stay until his contract expires in 2024. This is a win win solution I think, apart from Ancelotti himself this is a good thing for Real Madrid.
Ancelotti is aware that if he leaves Madrid at this time then indeed he will also be quite hated especially in the approaching time for the new season, obviously Madrid will be struggling to find a new coach so he decided to leave after his contract actually ended.
Now he must enjoy his last season in Madrid and must make a difference at least to give the best impression and experience for him in Madrid before he really leaves.
With that kind of money, Madrid can actually afford 4 or 5 other players.   But PSG's release clause may have been made that way. In the end it was like ridiculous. Remember Real Madrid have had the experience of failed transfers, I'm afraid it could happen if Real Madrid buy Mbappe. Maybe if Madrid didn't want to buy, or other clubs didn't want him it could have come down in price. I prefer players who like to work hard than big players who are weak because they are too comfortable with money.
AakZaki, Mbappe will not fail like some of Real Madrid's previous expensive transfers. Kylian Mbappe can have a tremendous impact on Real Madrid's performances and he deserves his current value, so I don't think he will ever be the same as Real Madrid signing Eden Hazard from Chelsea.

I believe Kylian Mbappe can adapt quickly to Real Madrid. This team is good for him and it will support his big quest to become the best player in the world in the future. If Real Madrid don't prioritize his signing then they might miss their chance to get him.

I believe Pulisic can prove his quality with Milan if he officially joins them. At Chelsea, we know that Pulisic is not getting regular playing time because of the intense competition in the winger position. Chelsea have a lot of quality players in that position and automatically make it less likely for Pulisic to get regular playing time. Pulisic is still very young at 24 years old, he still has the potential to continue to grow at Milan and could become a club legend one day. But until now there has been no official news from Pulisic or the two Clubs, hopefully he can wear a Milan uniform for next season.

Most recently Milan has made a second offer at a higher price of 24 million pounds from the previous 15 million pounds to Chelsea. I don't think they will have a hard time letting Pulisic go with that figure considering that Pulisic is also interested in joining Ac Milan.
Christian Pulisic has made an average of 24.5 appearances per season in the last 4 seasons at Chelsea. His performance isn't so great that you can take his stats into consideration. Christian Pulisic is still good enough and can still improve, but maybe Chelsea is not a good home for him again after the management transition disaster.

Mauricio Pochettino may not consider Christian Pulisic in his plans for next season at Chelsea. That would clearly hint that Christian Pulisic must leave Chelsea and find a new home next season. Milan deserves him, but the decision is not final.

I was surprise to see Arsenal performance reduce when they season was about to end, at the end of the season which they are suppose to put more effort, that was when their performance started reducing, but everyone knows the problem which Arsenal had, they over used their players but am sure their coach will solve the problem before the beginning of next season. Let’s be honest Arsenal ending the season in second position is a great achievement for them, we know it’s really annoying that they wasted the opportunity which they had, they shouldn’t have allow Manchester City win the league, but let’s just see what will happen next season, let’s hope their performance will get better next season.
You shouldn't be surprised by that now, that's because the 2022-2023 season closed a few months ago. Arsenal will be better next season, that's what all the fans are hoping for right now.

I think Arteta needs to help his team to build more confidence and a winning mentality as well. Arsenal sank under pressure, that happened when Manchester City managed to find their best form at the end of the season and made Arsenal's performance slump. If Arteta succeeds in building player confidence and a better team mentality, then Arsenal should be able to deal with that pressure well. Yes, next season they should be different.

It can be a good thing when you can allocate a few percent of your income to be in bitcoin.
But as you said before, everyone has their own thoughts and strategies, when doing it with spare money as long as it doesn't interfere then I think it's also good, it's just that this should pay attention to more conditions where when there are unexpected needs then they should have some policies to make their finances not disturbed in terms of plans.
But when it comes to comparison then I prefer your way with budgeting beforehand apart from we know how much we spend on investment, unexpected needs can be overcome because there is an allocation there in financial management.
I think when you still have 50% reserve budget of the total value of your investment, then your financial situation will not be too risky even if you get a few surprises about unexpected expenses. I've always wanted financial management that way, but so far I've only had 20% of the total investment value as a reserve budget.

So in essence, have a spare budget regardless of whether you can get it equal to the value of your investment or maybe less. If you have a reserve budget higher than your total investment value, then reinvest with the same strategy.

I think we are like 2015

Jan 15 price was 177
Jul 13 price was  308
Dec 16 price was 465



2024

Jan 1 price 16500
July 5 price 30750
Dec 31 price 47000?
philipma1957, wait, are you really predicting for 2024, or is it for 2023?

I think it's still very reasonable to expect the end of 2023 for the bitcoin price to be higher than $45k, because we that's too close to the halving. Lots of interest will jump in and make the market a bull market, but I wouldn't rule out other possibilities even if a potential high price is expected. I will be at $40k, could be lower depending on market conditions and external influences.

I am a lazy person and don't really want to waste time with several candles and momentum expectations every day so with conditions like this I prefer to buy bitcoin and wait for it like for several conditions and my target as before.
Sounds good, of course much more recommended than selling bitcoins for altcoin. Buy and hold for the long term and ignore price volatility is what many recommend when you want to get good returns in the future. You are still required to manage everything including living expenses, health costs and the like, and that's why budget diversification must still be an important part of maintaining this investment plan.

Regarding the target, there is a lot of potential to set it at a higher price in the next few years. Halvings seem to increase the value of bitcoin naturally due to supply and demand factors, but we never know where the ATH is highest. I believe we have to get out of a certain position and build again, but not for everyone who has a different mindset and investment plan.

Everyone will see how Tuchel performs next season at Bayern Munich, because in the previous season Tuchel had little time to make Bayern Munich more successful in the Champions League even though the team he coached was a team that had been well formed by Nagelsman. But Tuchel still needs time to apply his tactics to the existing players and also to the new players they get in the transfer market now next season.
Nobody expected him to win the Champions League title with Bayern Munich last season, that was due to the lack of time he got while replacing the old coach. Thomas Tuchel will experiment with his strategy next season in the Champions League and other competitions, but I can't say they will be able to reach the Champions League final without really quality players.

Real Madrid will still be ahead as the favourites, then Manchester City will follow as the defending champions. While Bayern Munich and other teams will be a challenging team to try to do their best to compete for the title, but then again, Bayern Munich will not be highly favored.

Firmino refused to extend his contract with Liverpool since they didn't agree to rise his salary and because they recruited Nunez in part. Overall the player was reported to leave Anfield but it was not expected to join a league outside of Europe apart from the last days where we heard that he is in contact with Al Ahli.
He is too young to play there in my opinion but it is his choice in the end.
Roberto Firmino is not young anymore, he is already 31 years old and will be 32 years old in October. Liverpool should let him go for the same reason, that's because Liverpool always find it difficult to pay the high salary demands of their players. Mane had to suffer the same fate last season, as did several other players who have been released by Liverpool in recent seasons.

Do you believe that if you want Liverpool to increase your salary, then only two options are most likely to be achieved, that is to stay for the same salary or go to another team.

Yeah finally Manchester United got their first player this season somehow Mason Mount seems to be a special player for Manchester United, not only Erik Ten Hag even Manchester United management agreed to give number 7 to Mason Mount and in addition, the contract agreement will run for 5 seasons. I didn't say this was excessive but I wondered what made them very sure, do they think that Chelsea failed to increase the potential of this player and Erik Ten Hag who is able to do it?

We know Mason Mount is brought to increase their midfield which last season was not optimal it's just that I am worried that their expectations are too high, after all we have to wait for its performance in the first season there is no point in criticizing before seeing its performance, I hope he deserves to use a jersey number 7.
Mason Mount is the right signing to help improve Manchester United's form next season. I expect Ten Hag to really be able to make a good impact to re-open the title opportunity for Manchester United, but I know he needs support and time.

So far I am happy with the work he has done for Manchester United. The team has changed a lot to a better level, but it's clear that Ten Hag needs a lot of financial support to build a team that can compete with other contestants. It's not easy to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal and several others when Ten Hag doesn't get the proper support.

I'm curious about the Tuchel era for Bayern Munich. The last time Bayern Munich made it to the Champions League was the 2019/20 season. The interesting thing is that Tuchel was managing PSG back then and they were the opponent of Bayern Munich in the finale.  Grin  Tuchel has a really big potential to win this title with big teams.

I think it is time for doing it with Bayern Munich. But this time I will be expecting more than qualifying for the finale. If Bayern Munich make the right transfers and prepare the squad for the season solidly I don't see any reason to not see them being very competitive for this title. Tuchel has all the time to have a good relationship with the players.

I hope Bayern Munich work out the situation about a top striker transfer also.
I don't believe Bayern Munich will be able to return to the Champions League final in the next 1-3 seasons if the squad depth is not increased. Not only do they have striker problems, they are very different compared to last season. The team's confidence changes when an important person in the team leaves, but if they get a suitable replacement then maybe the confidence will recover.

Even though Tuchel has experience in several Champions League finals, I'm not sure he can win it with Bayern Munich. Tuchel is great, but will not be as lucky as Chelsea a few seasons ago especially regarding the Champions League title.

Inter milan valued Andre Onana and would place a significant figure on the Cameroonian. In terms of years spent at Old Trafford, David de Gea is the club's oldest player. He gave the entire thing he possessed to his existing club, he's the best goalkeeper for the Red Devils, and letting him go doesn't seem right. I believe David de Gea's initial target was to retire at Old Trafford, but allowing him to leave merely because he is 33 years old is ludicrous. He still has exceptional talents as a goalkeeper, and earning the golden gloves last season demonstrated that he is quite active in his responsibilities.
David de Gea deserves respect for his servant to Manchester United since being bought by Manchester in the 2011/2012 season. De Gea had to part ways because the two parties did not reach an agreement on a contract extension plan, that is very sad for a goalkeeper who has worked for more than 10 seasons for a team. De Gea is a Legend for Manchester United, but he didn't have the sweet ending to retiring his team.

I know De Gea is still in demand by several other Premier League clubs, but Al-Nassr FC's offer seems very reasonable for him. De Gea could be reunited with his former friend at Al-Nassr FC, that would be Ronaldo, but I don't know at what stage the talks between the two parties are.

No elite club is prepared to pay a premium price for Victor for the reason that according to his statistics, he is not consistent in league performance; he may have been in the spotlight this season, but next season he will not be among the league's best players. Although I am still keeping track of him closely, I believe he would perform better in the Seria A division, but moving to the EPL would highlight his flopping era in football. Victor Osimhen is an overhyped market player, with a market value of more than €180 million. He would be retained by Napoli for another season. The crowd laud the Nigerian striker's outstanding performance.
The value that Napoli wants for Victor Osimhen seems too crazy, but I think that's how Napoli want to keep their best striker at the moment. Victor Osimhen has stats worth paying a hefty price for when a team is interested in him, but for his current value, that's just too crazy in my opinion. Even if Napoli manage to sell Osimhen for that price then I think they could get Mbappe for the same or maybe two other top strikers for half that.

These are just Osimhen's stats in the last 3 seasons for Napoli in Serie A. Over hype? That sounds possible.

For now Real Madrid really needs a striker after Karim Benzema left. Joselu who borrowed one season from Espanyol was not so convincing to be able to replace the role of Benzema who went to the Saudi Arabian League. Madrid seems to be very difficult to bring Mbappe this season, considering that PSG Luis Enrique's new coach really needs his services. It is also impossible for PSG to release Mbappe with a free transfer of next year they will definitely send a new contract extension with a large salary and bonus option to Mbappe to survive at PSG.

On the other hand I think Real Madrid is also not a typical club who wants star class players with transfer free status like Mbappe's move options. If Madrid wants certain players to be part of them next season, it is almost certain that they can bring it, Perez's cold hands are still very effective to do it.
I have said many times that Joselu is only an alternative option to replace Benzema, but Joselu was not brought in to replace Benzema. Real Madrid definitely need a quality and faster striker in the long term and I think they are prioritizing those transfers.

To be honest, I would definitely be happy if Kylian Mbappe could really be brought in by Perez to Real Madrid. It doesn't matter when, but I'm sure that the sooner Perez fulfills his contract, the better it will be for Real Madrid. Losing Benzema left a big hole, so Real Madrid had to deal with it quickly.

I am also optimistic that ATH price will recover within this year but maybe predict in Q4
The probability is too low to recover ATH this year, but you can expect it to be close to that price. The recorded ATH was $69k, while the current price is still at -55% of the ATH which means the market needs billions of dollars to get close to that number. I'm not optimistic about ATH this year, but I'm sure it will be achieved only after the halving.

The best option to think about right now is to buy and hold. We're in for a great time collecting bitcoins, so don't let fear take away your chances of getting bitcoin returns.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not yet officially rejected any application for a bitcoin spot ETF, but has requested that the application be reformulated. But at the same time SEC has not approved any application yet.

Therefore, it is possible that the fluctuation will continue with every upward or downward movement due to the introduction of huge financial institutions at a close time. Most likely, there will not be a strong rise in the current period, because even in the event of obtaining approvals, the market situation does not allow this at the present time.

I expect that we are in an uptrend, and even if applications are rejected, I don't expect us to go back to 25k$ levels.
I agree that the SEC can have both good and bad effects on asset price movements, but in the short term I think they just make a lot of investors and market participants worry with some decisions. I'm starting to find that the current market conditions are only going sideways in 1-4 weeks or at least during July, but the fluctuating movement is still there.

In my opinion, bitcoin may struggle to break through the $32k resistance if it doesn't get a lot of investor support. If this sideway persists, then a correction will usually follow, but not to go lower than $29k. I expect $29k to be strong support during consolidation, so I hope there isn't much panic this month.

Right now there's no chance that Saudi Pro League would be as competitive as any of the top leagues in Europe. Quite rightly they are alluring players from Europe, but most of them are either old and past their peak, or they aren't just good enough players, mind you that the Saudi Pro league is yet to allure a world class player that is in his prime.

Having said that, remember that what the Saudi's are trying to do right now is somewhat similar to what the Chinese Super league did a couple of years ago, but we all saw how it ended, i wouldn't rule it out to end the same way for the Saudi's.
I agree with your assumptions, but if they never try then surely the Arab Pro League will remain stagnant or maybe drop lower than other countries' leagues. The scenario is the same, of course China and Saudi are trying to improve both in terms of business and increasing the quality of competition, but the result depends on management and how the team there adjusts.

Without a large income, this step will stop because no investor wants to continue to lose money every year. I can't say anything about the future of the Arab Pro League, but so far they have been brave enough to tell the world they want to develop.

Arsenal will appear with a different face and will appear to be stronger in the upcoming 2023/2024 season. Yesterday in the 2022/2023 season, Arsenal looked attractive from the start to almost the end of the Premier League competition. They were able to dominate the top of the standings before being painfully cornered by Manchester City. Arsenal are even more determined to improve. Moreover, this season they will play in the Champions League as well. Arsenal have also targeted a number of players, including Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber. They need improvement on a number of fronts so they can compete for the Premier League and Champions League titles.
Things are not that easy for Arsenal. I know Arsenal had impressive form last season but they could change next season in one way or another. Every team playing in the Premier League wants to win and wants to collect a lot of points until the end of the season.So that is why Arsenal will not run alone on the standings.

Even though Arsenal are known to have signed several new players, I am not entirely sure they can compete great in the Champions League. It's not easy to progress from one stage to another in the Champions League although it looks like Arsenal deserve to be among the favorites for next season. Remember there are many teams who want the title, some teams are experienced teams and also won the title in the previous season, so Arsenal's journey to the Champions League next season will not be easy.

For Kvaratskhelia last season is his debut in Serie A and Napoli but it doesn't take long to adapt with the team and Spaletti has successfully to optimizing his skill and gradually Kvaratskhelia has became an important player to Napoli and help this team to get the scudetto and some of big teams has been notice his talent and one of them is Real Madrid so they attempts to buy Kvaratskhelia from Napoli but indeed Kvaratskhelia himself has been rejected that offers and Kvaratskhelia said he want to staying much longer with this team and as a young player i think Napoli has made right decision because they give long duration contract to Kvaratskhelia even Napoli president considering to give more duration into his contract because they want to protect this player from leaving this summer
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is Georgia's best striker who currently plays for Napoli. The statistics were very good last season as Kvaratskhelia managed to score 14 goals and 10 assists in Napoli's 33 matches in all competitions. In Serie A, Kvaratskhelia's statistics have been very satisfactory as Napoli's latest signing, that is because he contributed to the creation of 22 goals in 34 match for Napoli last season.

His contract expires on June 30 2027, that's still long enough for Napoli not to worry about losing him. On the other hand, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia still intends to play for Napoli next season, so even if Real Madrid or some other European team wants him then of course he will try to refuse. But Napoli might sell him when they get a lucrative offer in the next few seasons.

I agree with you about your comparison between Zidane and Guardiola. Zidane has an aura and players respect him more for his achievements as a player himself than as a coach. I know that he won the Champions League three times, but a lot of coincidences have led to that winning streak as well. It wasn't because Real Madrid dominated the Champions League throughout the knockout stages. It was in quite some games the case that they were the team with a little bit more luck than the others. Taking home three titles just like that will probably not happen again anytime soon. Guardiola is a real coach. Nobody talks about him as a player anymore whereas when I remember the name Zidane, I instantly think about him as a genius player, not as the coach who won the title three times.
I think it's because Real Madrid are in a good era, especially in terms of squad depth. Zidane managed to win 3 consecutive Champions League titles because at that time Real Madrid had great players, but he was responsible for the strategy implemented.

No coincidence, but some consider us lucky. Basically there is a lot of effort that Madrid have put in beating opponents and winning titles, but people have taken another route in judging.
