I will be hurt if accept the offer to play in saudi because we are all viewing him as a potential Balon D’or winner when he joins Real Madrid. He has the potential to win it its just that he is not in the right club yet and now that he is close to joining the right club he is now being offered a tempting contract.
But did you know that even though Mbappe has received an offer from Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid will still benefit and next season he will be free according to the contract offered by AL Hillal, which is 1 year. Instead of Madrid having to pay a very expensive transfer this season, Florentino Perez knows that this season will be risky enough and derides himself for only paying Mbappe. With Real Madrid's existing squad still able to provide tough competition, the young players they have are still decent. The reason is, when Mbappe went to Madrid this season his position underwent a rotation and that was not good for Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Joselu. In fact, what was sacrificed the most was the position of Vinicius who was pulled into the middle while Joselu sat on the bench, we all know Mbappe dominantly chose the left attacker position.

In my opinion, Madrid was quite helped by Al Hillal because if a European club other than Madrid got Mbappe it would be much more troublesome.

That's what I do by not forcing anyone, but when the closest people like family ask for investment advice, then in any way I will suggest dropping money in Bitcoin. Moreover, 2023 is the ideal year as well as the shortest year to achieve big profits where welcoming ATH bitcoin does not need to wait every 4 years.

That way I don't need to emphasize more than what I have to offer, because in any case the decision returns to each of them. As a result, they believed in my advice and agreed on any risks in the future, profits and losses are always there, but in Bitcoin they said they would not regret it.

Newcastle has finally secured the services of former Leicester player, Harvey Barnes in a 5year deal believed to have been around £39m and the English player made his first debut in their friendly against Aston Villa this morning.
This purchase seems like a timely one for Newcastle as Saint Maxima would soon be leaving the English side to go ply his trade in the Saudi league.

Another addition to the Magpies and with their above average performance last season, I expect more to come this time, who knows, they can even upset the likes of Man City, Arsenal and other big teams.
It takes quite a long process for Newcastle to really be stable and pose a big threat to big clubs like Man City. As we all know, Newcastle's several seasons have shown positive results with stable finances, which will further accelerate the growth of the club, including in terms of buying players. If you look at the composition that Newcastle are targeting, many players who are not very well-known then they believe in signing him. For next season, Newcastle needs to be careful because currently, every club has made several player changes.

Bellingham need time to get use to the team, man literally was running up and down and couldn't make a God conversation for more than 64 minutes, even when Anceloti made a batch substitution of players with the main squad, he was left inside to unleash his full potential and impress Real Madrid fans but nothing came out of it until Valverde score two goals in the space of two minutes before Anceloti realizes that he is of no use again and remove him as the last guy that was substituted out of the match and just like magic, Vinicious added an extra goal to give Real Madrid lead ahead of Milan, this was a friendly match but so serious like a competition of a league.
Although the results of this match were quite positive, in my opinion Ancelotti will not be easily satisfied and indeed, if you look at the attacking scheme of the midfield line, it has not been as effective as many people expected. This will be quite an enjoyable process for Ancelotti troops where several players, one of which is Bellingham first performance, did not show anything different. By having enough time he can adapt because it is only a matter of time, little by little we will see.

The condition of the Manchester United team is not very good. The management of the team should identify the mistakes of the team and revamp the team, because the current performance of traditional team Manchester United team is very poor I think.
I want to know clearly what the bad management of the Manchester United team means, what do you think it looks like? because what we saw last season they won a Champions League ticket, then under the leadership of Erik Ten Hag the pattern of growth was quite good compared to the previous coach who was only able to lead Manchester United to the European League. Therefore you need to clarify again the bad team management? or rather not very optimal? maybe it makes sense because no team management is perfect.
Maybe he means that the owners are not fully supportive, and I would rather say that they should let Manchester United go if they want to see the Red Devils perform better. As for example in terms of the budget to bring in new players this season, 100 million is a budget that I think is not much money to bring in players who can provide a breath of fresh air to the game of Manchester United, as a result Erik Ten Hag must rack his brains so that they can get players who have good abilities with a modest budget.
1186  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think selling your property is better than taking loan? on: July 23, 2023, 03:46:12 PM
I think selling a property is the first step to be able to get money or additional capital, and we must predict that taking a loan is the last solution because we must pay more because of the interest that is usually high, of course not all of our financial plans are successful because there are many obstacles or challenges, but as long as we can focus on the goal we will be successful.
Taking a loan for capital can indeed be the last solution if there is no other solution after someone has tried to find it. But selling a valuable property is also not the first solution for someone who wants to start a particular business, because the price of a property can sometimes increase at a time. So if a person has owned more property in his lifetime, it would be better if he rents out some of the properties that he is not currently using to get business capital. Because in my opinion it is much wiser than selling it to other people at uncertain prices.
I agree that borrowing is the last resort if it is not possible to sell something, and I also agree with you that selling something is not a good thing as long as we can still work on it, but if there is no other option then it is an option that I think is good (in certain situations). There are other options when trying to sell things, pawning things for example, but I recommend pawning to people who can be trusted because there is a risk. And we also have to look at our situation first, whether we will be able to collect our goods on time or not.

The priority for Real Madrid right now is the need for Strikers. After Benzema's departure from the team, they still could not transfer a quality name to this region. They do not have big problems in defense, but of course, they may want to transfer to the defense. I think they should devote the budget to striker transfers instead. Joselu can be a good backup striker and needs a star striker.
It's not possible for real madrid to do that for now. I read news that said if there was a rumor madrid will start to talk with PSG about mbappe but this seems to be a rumor only. I see no concrete news related to the development of this rumor. From what i can see that if real madrid is now hunting a new striker even vlahovic has become one of the candidates mentioned by real madrid. The problem is now if the club may not even try to spend another huge money to buy a single player. Madrid has bought bellingham with a lot of money and madrid will not do that again.
It's caused by the club needs to make sure if its financial will always be stable. Madrid has a lot of debt. The club needs to use its budget efficiently to avoid the same fate as barcelona.
Yes the same thing I see from the rumors circulating about the Frenchman, there are rumors that Real Madrid are still undergoing negotiations to ensure Mbappe is in their squad this season, but just like you I have not seen any definite steps made by Real Madrid. Indeed, we recently heard Paris Siant Germain open up about Mbappe, stating that if the player won't agree to a contract extension then they will sell him before his contract expires. I think Mbappe is now the big drama in the summer transfer window.

El Real are still in need of a more capable forward, and their current one (Joselu) is doubtful to fill the void left by Benzema.

Klopp on new signings: “We’re around 3/4 weeks until first game, a few things have to happen until then. Definitely”. 🔴 #LFC

“It will happen, and we will have a good team. Trust us. We’ll do our best to have a season we will never forget”.

I'm curious which players Liverpool would like to bring into the team to take on Manchester City. To be honest I don't think Liverpool will be competitive next season. City will most likely dominate the league again even without great newcomers.
Liverpool may have performed badly last season but the fact is that at the end of the season they shot quickly even though they had to finish in the top 5. In my opinion, with their seriousness to rise, next season the potential will be much greater. Liverpool is a tough team and can easily rise to the surface compared to other clubs who have to work hard to overhaul the squad. Liverpool just needs to continue their positive trend and I'm sure they can still surprise Man City though. As the biggest club in the Premier League, everyone has many unexpected things to prepare for next season. Especially when last season's results were deemed disappointing, but for Klopp it was the right opportunity to win the hearts of the Red fans.
1189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 22, 2023, 12:39:33 PM
As Inter Milan aims to win the title, keeping the defence strong is crucial for them. If Inter Milan's defence had been strong in the last season, maybe their performance in Serie A would have been more regular. However, Inter Milan needs an experienced striker next season. Martinez and Lukaku played well last season. However, next season Inter Milan is not getting Lukaku in the team. Inter Milan will have to find a replacement for Lukaku. At the same time, they must strengthen the defence. It will be too risky for Inter Milan to rely solely on Martinez's performance for scores.
It seems that the competition in the Italian Serie A will experience a slight change in terms of the performance of each team. First with the many key players who have started to move clubs, change of coaches, inadequate finances, and cases like Juventus with sanctions. So we can see that it will be difficult for the Italian Serie A to predict which club will really be able to maintain the top of the standings. Milan for example, now can be said to have more plus points than minuses. Inter Milan of course Lautaro Martinez will not be able to carry out the task alone in attack. Napoli has to reduce their dependence on Osimhen a little because he is currently being discussed by big clubs outside Italy.

I just decided to put this up here to see what you guys think about it. If you are in a situation that requires some funds immediately, would you go for a loan or would you sell one of your properties to solve the problem? And which of them is a better option, to sell property or to take a loan?
To be honest, I'm not used to selling existing property at home, especially if it's property needed to complete the job. As for your story, I think your friend did the right thing where he sold a washing machine because clothes can be washed manually. When the property has other functions that can still be utilized, of course it is not an obstacle so that your friend can get money instead of having to borrow.

He's a talented and young player, but I don't think he deserves that big of money. Barcelona will not consider paying that much for Felix.
After his remarks for Barcelona, Felix seems to have angered the fans quite a bit. Fans damaged the plaque made in his name and they no longer want to see him in the team. I hope he manages to transfer to a good team Smiley
It is unfortunate, the fate of Joao Felix who is now uncertain after returning from Chelsea as a loan status does not produce an ideal position at Atletico Madrid. Joao Felix said that he would be patient waiting for Barcelona's decision until the end of the transfer market. For Barcelona, they still have to avoid sanctions and great will to pay players that we all know Joao's tariff is not cheap. Conditions that are very dilemma are not expected to play again by Atletico, he must reduce salary so that it will make it easier to play than not at all.

Now that Manchester united has been able to get a new keeper, they should focus on the attacking line, that's their weak side. Onana is one keeper that Erik likes and confidence in. know he has resigned all his best players in Ajax, let's see what he will use them to win this season.

Maybe for the goalkeeper has been completed but as you said the Man United attack line has not changed much at all, even with the existence of Mason Mount in my opinion it is still not enough to be said as a sharp attack line composition. Rashford is not always consistent sometimes he is still stagnant. While hoping for more next season? Realistically because after all compared to the attack line Man City and Arsenal are all not certain to be balanced.

Guys Saudi Arabia league is full of Premier league players and more are still planning to join, is this not weaken the English premier league?there should be restriction. I'm scared, the manner big stars are joining the league from the premier league.
This is only about money and when the club has money to bring the top players of the Top also must have the courage to compete even with Arabic clubs. FIFA may have set rules, it's just that for this Sjeuah the purchase of Saudi Arabian clubs is still said to be not excessive. Precisely with the challenges of playing in a league that had not been touched even not as popular as the European League pressing every European club to provide a promising salary guarantee. Now in the Saudi Arabian club, the player is still quite expensive.

So this is back again about how money works in adjusting competition. The transfer market is still open which will provide more ways for Saudi clubs to continue to collect European players.

It's really crazy how Manchester City already successfully sign Gvardiol, they already have so many world class defenders e.g. Akanji, Stones, Walker, Cancelo, Ake, and Dias. Is there any striker can destroy these defenders? I really doubt it. There's no loophole in Manchester City's squad, their current squad remind me with Barcelona squad in 2008/2009 where it's one of the best squad in football history.
They are building for themselves a formidable squad that even when their first eleven are reserved, the second can be unbeatable as well. I like the pattern at which Guardiola is training the boys, instilling such confidence that even on less than better days, they still manage to perform well.
The back line built by Pep Guardiola this season will be very difficult for opponents to penetrate. With so many choices of players and their respective abilities, it's clear that this is balanced. So it won't be difficult if one of the players is absent. Pep Guardiola is looking to leave a legacy before he leaves, though Man City will not allow that to happen. The target for next season is to maintain the treble winner, adequate finances will not make Man City difficult in any case. Defensive gaps that seem difficult for opponents to find.

Barca are always interested in quality players even when they know it will be impossible for them to get. They want to try every possible to uplift them team back to the way it used to be but to do that you need finance to add high quality players to the team. They should rest for now and focus on building their current players and their academy players instead of trying to acquire players they can’t afford and in the end it may result to salary cut of some players in order to pay the wages of these players.

I agree more with the mindset as you said because at the moment Barcelona finances are really bad and maybe the best way is to improve by recruiting academy players and educating these young players so they can have strong new talents and if that works Barcelona can sell those player and recover their finances for the next few seasons.

Even though in the midst of Barcelona's poor finances, they can still get high-quality players and that proves how serious Barcelona is in preparing a better future. However, the question is are the players brought in ready to survive in the midst of Barcelona's finances like this? they also need to be paid and compensated accordingly.

The most interesting thing is that during this transfer window, Real Madrid is officially trying to advertise its participation or interest in the situation around Mbappe, although of course it is clear that the main beneficiary at the moment is Real Madrid. The most surprising thing is that if you believe the rumors, Mbappe agreed to extend his contract in order not to leave PSG for free, but the departure of Benzema from Real Madrid forced Mbappe's side to change their plans.
It's caused by many people were always linking madrid to the mbappe. This rumor has been coming since a few years ago but it's likely mbappe may be possible to join in real madrid next season once it has no contract with PSG anymore.

Mbappe is not so aggresive in showing his interest to join in real madrid. Im thinking about this is a part from mbappe's plan. The fact that if mbappe is also wanna get money from PSG. He knows that if PSG will not let him go for free. That's why mbappe is trying so hard to defend its place in PSG for another year. Mbappe will get good money and he will be also able to picking the new club as per his wish.
The solution is Real Madrid must move on from chasing Mbappe and continue to focus on building the team they already have. Because after all the price to pay and waiting for next season is clearly not worth it. At the moment, neither PSG nor Mbappe want to give up, as a result, this situation seems to have provoked Real Madrid to agree to the price that PSG has given.

Playing a role to get more money from PSG, it's no wonder even though behind Mbappe strategy I see his mother already knows how to play in the transfer market. There's nothing wrong if in the end Mbappe just wants PSG to make more money for him.
1196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 20, 2023, 11:39:10 AM
There's a popular  remark among gamblers in the part of  my country I reside. The saying is expressed like this "if you quit that's when you lose".  They use this statement to encourage and give futuristic hope to themselves that no matter how much they loss today or how many wagers they have lost they don't need to quit as it's possible you may be the next jackpot winner tomorrow. For it's like say don't quit yet there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

That's just a bullshit motivation, when you stop you are able to take full control of the bet, instead of continuing it until you are poor. Usually, the person who says this is so that he has friends who continue to gamble, and don't want to let other people control the stakes. Precisely when you are able to stop, either for a moment or long enough, it shows that person is better than an addicted gambler.

Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?

Where I live these words are often heard, and in accordance with what I suspect that these words actually come from the mouths of gamblers who have lost everything. Until plunging others to experience the same fate, as naturally. To be honest, these words cannot be justified, instead of encouraging people to continue betting, I want to make this an example for anyone who wants to stop gambling.

Another deal that has taken place is Pierre Aubameyang's joining of Olympique Marseille on a three-year contract. While this player is no longer young, Pochettino has chosen not to include him in his team's design scheme. I witnessed Aubameyang's brilliance during his time at Arsenal, but it dimmed when he was brought in by Chelsea from Barcelona.
The Premier League coaches, both Pochettino and Erik Ten Hag, made changes that were not much different. I know that Aubameyang can't be relied on anymore when he's at Chelsea. Therefore Pochettino decision can be said to be right, Pochettino wants to organize his troops according to the criteria he wants to make Chelsea look fresher. Playing with Marseille is perfect for Aubameyang age, which is no longer productive. Because then Chelsea will no longer have the main squad that is inherited except for 1 or 2 players. Even then, it is still at a stage where it is possible to be sold as long as the transfer market opens.
1198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 19, 2023, 03:03:24 PM
Joao Felix's statement is true that he wants to join Barcelona and he is very, very happy if he can later be in his childhood dream team. This is quite surprising whether he really doesn't feel comfortable at Atletico or he really wants to be able to win a title if he joins Barcelona, because at least if he joins Barcelona then his chances of winning the La Liga title will be very open. But indeed Barcelona's current financial problems make it impossible for Joao Felix to join.
Initially, Joao Felix played at Chelsea but Pochettino did not want him to be in the main squad, so with the status of a loan player Joao Felix was returned to Atletico Madrid where he himself no longer wanted to play for the club. When there is an offer from the Barcelona club he will automatically take it with pleasure and will not refuse it at all, as well as his dream club as if he will be given a way to get out of Atletico Madrid.

If you look at the Real Madrid transfer market this summer they have recruited a number of players such as Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, Juselu and Fran Garcia and the costs incurred were 128 million euros. To recruit a Mbappe, Madrid must prepare a bigger budget namely 180 million Euros. I don't think Madrid can't pay that kind of money, a more reasonable reason i think they avoid being subject to FFP sanctions from La Liga.

Something interesting happened in the PSG squad's inaugural training yesterday, Nassr Al Khelaifi as the owner of the club reportedly quipped Mbappe "this club is bigger than anyone including me" in his speech. It will be even more interesting to see how PSG treat Mbappe next season, for sure he will not be released for free.
It's not that Real Madrid can't afford to pay Mbappe, but they are aware that paying with his status for another year makes Madrid prefer not to respond much to his purchases anymore. After all, at this time, with the squad you have, at least some of the gaps have been filled, although not as perfect as when Benzema was there. I'm sure that for next season's competition, Real Madrid can still show a balanced competition.

If Nassr Al Khelaifi said so from the start, then why at that time was Mbappe given something they never acknowledged? Nassr Al Khelaifi just doesn't want to lose at the end so it's not surprising when he says so to the media, it's clear that we all know what kind of bid last season was for Mbappe that made him comfortable both in salary and in his desire to choose players at PSG.

Manchester city have good qualities players, and one of the  prominent coach with lengthy experience in football space, with his presence everything is working smoothly for city. The citzyens performance will reduce without the master planner, Guardiola. He's the brain behind their triumphant prospects over the years, perhaps he got more achievements to accomplished. Manchester City will be too recalcitrant to let Pep Guardiola leave them so soon, after all he achieved the significant trophies that was the primary goals. He's a free man and he can decides to leave any time he feels the time is right.
But keep in mind that Pep Guardiola is an adventurous person, so there is always a possibility he will leave especially according to his statements if the club he loves calls, nothing can stop him from leaving and that club is Barcelona. Pep Guardiola will always be adventurous looking for new experiences, add insight and revive clubs that really need his services. Even though at this time Man City is comfortable with the presence of Pep Guardiola, it is likely that his departure will leave many gaps.
1200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: July 18, 2023, 04:02:56 PM
I use 5% of my weekly income to gamble and I can not go more than that. Sometimes I can be busy and I can spend less. If a week favours me, I will save my profit and the remaining (5% last week income) for next week gambling. According to what I heard, people spend up to 12% of their weekly income on gamble. I think it is not bad but that gives me the thinking to make a post like this on this forum. What percentage of weekly income do you think is right for gambling?
For me 5% is still too much for a weekly budget if it's only allocated for gambling. Too risky even though the benefits can be multiplied though. My intention is to bet quite simply with minimal capital in the end, I will still spend it at the casino, especially if with a large budget I can easily lose quickly. To gamble for me is throwing money away, isn't that the point? there is no stable percentage for gambling. This is based on what I experienced, so it can be different according to each version.
