Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I can't believe it. I can't believe to see how MU tries to send Onana to the club that is none know about. It seems to me club has no trust on him, and wanna get rid him off the club. If it was La Liga or Serie a, i'm find. However, they wanted him join in the Turkish league club.
I expect rejecting this offer may make Onana gets seat belt on his bench. It's obviously dilemma for him whether to stay but get no minutes or leave with the possibility to stay there forever.
This is a good move for Man United, as he can't be expected to replace De Gea. It's only right that Man United let him go if they want to make a change for the better, as Man United problem lies in their weak defense. Furthermore, even if he stays at Man United, the club won't necessarily use him, as Man United have already signed a new goalkeeper this summer, so competition for places is quite fierce.

I think La Liga and Serie A clubs should think twice about signing Onana, as he no longer possesses the same abilities as he did at Inter. His quality has clearly declined, so rather than waiting for clubs from other leagues, it's better to accept offers from Turkey.
I feel pity for Onana with his current situation. I don't know what is the problem with him that made him to drop form to the point that no big European club is interested in him. Was it Manchester United that frustrated him due to the excess pressure on him or he became unserious with his career after he came to United, because I know Onana to be a professional goalie in Inter.

In a week, Atletico Madrid are going to face Villarreal home. Honestly it is one of the toughest fixtures in the season for them. Villarreal have started the season solid. Quite productive and strong in defense.  Smiley

As a reminder, both of their head-to-heads ended up with a draw last season. While Atletico Madrid are horrible now I wouldn't be surprised if they even lose. Double chance on Villarreal has 1.87 odds. I think it is worth trying.
Atletico depreciated in form after the end of last season. I don't know what really happened. It seems that they sold some of their key players. With Atletico current form, I doubt if they will survive in the match. Villarreal is ready to humiliate them if they're given the opportunity. I will be on Villarreal, because they're the favorite.

No doubt Manchester United's forward looks much better this season compared to last season's mess, but the defensive line still lacks that composure in defending goals from their opponent.

Amorim has been able to tackle the problem of the attack though they still haven't done any significant thing in the game because the team is performing well up front but no goals to show for it but the defense line needs a serious work because the team can't be conceding cheap goals when they are still still finding it difficult to score even against weak opponents.
Manchester United still have a big problem to tackle especially, corner kicks. Last season, United conceded several goals from corner kicks and this season, it looks like the same thing might happen. Amorim should work on the players, make them take full responsibility of defending the post and macking their opponents whenever, there is a corner kick.

I agree with you, and I think if they knew Arsenal before Arteta became manager, Arteta has slowly made many improvements and progress for Arsenal since his arrival in 2019.
And although their performance in the Premier League has been inconsistent, Arsenal's results over the past two seasons have consistently finished in second place in the table, which means Arsenal are in a better position compared to the big teams below them.
In my opinion, Mikel Arteta has been doing a great job since his arrival in Arsenal. He contributed significantly to the team in various ways and has transformed Arsenal for the better. It's been observed that over the past three seasons, Arsenal always started strong, winning around 80% of their early matches, but ended up fallen short of expectations. I believe it wasn't the right time for Mikel Arteta to lift the trophy in previous seasons, but with the new signings they've made this season, I'm hopeful Arsenal might finally win the Premier League title this season. I know the season will be more challenging for Arteta than previous ones, because other competing clubs have high expectations of winning the Premier League title too, and I'm not surprised, given the quality of players these teams have, making it difficult to predict the title winner.
This is what Arsenal fans keep on saying from season to season. In the beginning of every new season, it's always Arsenal turn to win the league but how does it end up. Don't forget that Liverpool bought few quality players than Arsenal, I wonder what will be the fate of Arsenal this season because history might repeat itself again. I will be disappointed if Arsenal ends up as a runner up again.

Napoli was just trying to tie him down but with the Nigeria international initiative, he's sensed it from early stage and didn't relent to press moves. Victor Osimhen force his exits from Napoli and watching him play for Galatasaray was never the plan. Alot of things happen and we know how determined Osimhen have been for the club he plays for. Who's ready to tackle the problem of Osimhen? He'd confident and know appropriately his position, how to bang goals and not willingly to give up. I would wish to see him one day play for an elite EPL side. Probably Chelsea or any other determined club, Osimhen will be a top player for any club he plays for.
Victor Osimhen career shows he is determined player who knows what he wants as seen by his move to Galatasaray after pushing to leave Napoli. He is very confident player who uses his strong goal scoring skills and unwillingness to give up to challenge opposing defenses. I agree that his style of play and confidence and determination would make him great fit for top English Premier League team like Chelsea and he would likely be top player for any club he plays for in future.
Victor Osimhen is a striker who can still be relied upon and actually he is more suited to playing in an elite team but for some reason elite clubs have difficulty recruiting him even though if Oshimen has a fairly high transfer value it is indeed commensurate with his current abilities we can see Oshimen abilities at Galatasaray last season he scored 37 goals from 41 appearances this shows extraordinary statistics and what makes me even more surprised Napoli did not use this striker for themselves and preferred Lukaku who is not better than him.
Victor Osimhen's transfer fee was so cheap, and I was thinking Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United were going to battle to secure Victor Osimhen's signature, but I was totally surprised no big club in the top five leagues in Europe showed interest in signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli this season. Napoli didn't use Victor Osimhen for themselves because Victor Osimhen didn't fit into the style of play of Antonio Conte, and Antonio Conte made it clear to Napoli management that they would buy him Lukaku if they want he to become Napoli head coach.
No one can tell the secrets behind why Osimhen didn't come to any of these clubs that you mentioned above. I could remember vividly, that Maresca was taking advantage of Osimhen situation and wanted to pay him lower than expected which was why Osimhen turned them down. Initially, before Osimhen went on a loan to Galatasaray was when a a few big clubs were interested in him including PSG but Napoli messed things up for him.

Hello everyone! I’m excited to start discussing altcoins and their potential in 2025. With the market evolving, I’d love to hear your thoughts on promising new altcoins to watch or invest in. Are there any undervalued projects with strong fundamentals you recommend? Let’s share ideas and insights to help each other navigate this space!
Due to the way the new projects are created and lunched into the market frequently, no one can tell which of them will be promising in the future. They all follow the same trend, when the project is newly launched, the dev pumps the price to make it attractive for investors. The moment they see that investors have started buying the coin and it has increased in price, the dev dump the coin by selling off the major coins in his possession. Is that the kind of coin, you tend to invest into. Exploit the opportunity you have now and invest in bitcoin.

And banks will definitely be replaced by Bitcoin, that's for sure.
This wouldn't be possible because the government owns fiat and controls the economy through fiat. Bitcoin and fiat will always work hand in hand. Bank will continue to exist because bitcoin is currently used more as an investment than a currency. You can say that youths will invest in bitcoin and only hold fiat for their daily spending.

HT Nigeria 0: 0 Rwanda.

This is not a good result for the Nigerian team at this moment, the team is dominating the game in possession, corners and goal attempts but they have still finding it difficult to hit the back of the net, the fans and not happy because they know what the team stands to lose if they can't get 3 points in this game, I just hope Nigeria will not end this game goalless after their entertainment football today.
Arokodare has finally broken the deadlock for the Super Eagles on the 51st minutes of the match. The goal was scored six minutes after the second half kicked off. However, they struggled to find the back of the net but a goal is a goal despite how it was scored. This is a good performance from the Eagles and it would be lovely if they can double the goal. It's currently 1-0.

This is how the game is supposed to be Nigeria has been knocking on their door since the beginning of the match but their inability to hit the back of the net made me so sick but all thanks to Arokodare T. For that wonderful goal let's wait to see some more goals because the performance of the Super Eagles today shouldn't just end the game by 1 goal.

Let's see how the game is going to end hopefully we get to see 2 more goals before the final whistle.
I don't know why Nigeria is finding it difficult to double their lead. That's not only the problem, they're allowing the Rwanda players to threaten their defense. They need to try their best to see that they defend this goal till the end of the match because the three points is very important for them. If they fail to win this match, they have lost their chance of qualifying to the world next year.

Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
by
Frankolala
on 06/09/2025, 16:38:48 UTC

League 1 is not as competitive as the other leagues because they don't have teams that can compete against PSG, PSG has always been the best team in the league by winning the title every season even without having a good season in the Champions League, seeing Lyon winning their first three games did not surprise me because they will later be fighting for too four before the season ends, they were able to defeat Marseille in their last match and they did a good job.

I think the reason PSG is the only team that wins the title every season is because they have more money than other teams in the league. I have never seen other teams sign any best players in their team, which leads me to believe that League 1 is similar to La Liga in that small teams cannot sign and register big players due to their salary cap.

You’re spot on! It is obvious PSG’s dominance in the French league is because of how rich the club is, they have the finances and influence to build their team to a certain level unlike other average teams in the league that are unable to make significant and noticeable signings to build their squad to match PSG’s squad and gives them tough competition.
Is this how the French League will be forever. Only PSG will continue winning the title till the end of time. Ligue 1 clubs need to wake up and look for how to fund the club. Any club that finishes on second possition is always given a reward for their efforts or is it a very tangible amount of money that cannot make any difference on the club financial strength in order for them to sort for good players there in France or in Europe.

Carlo ancelloti is an excellent and experienced manager who have done this over and over again so he knows exactly what to do and how to place his players so am expecting them to also perform in the main competition atleast the ball play from Brazil itself has also changed although the narrative of Brazilian football has changed so greatly but atleast we can boost of them actually doing well and hopefully we get to see a Brazil team that's worth bearing that name and doing what they are best known for.

Carlo Ancelotti faced harsh criticism in his first game as manager of the Brazilian National Team. The Seleção, a goalless draw against Ecuador was far below the expectations of fans and sports analysts. The Brazilian side was not good in the attack in that game and many tongues were wagging. But we have seen an improvement in the other two games. The Brazilians have now won two games, beating Paraguay and Chile. Building a solid team would take some time and I think the Italian coach is progressing with the Seleção. 
I don't know why people are just too quick to run their mouth and judge a coach based on his first match. Ancelotti has not spent much time with the Brazilian team and he hasn't observed them play any match in order for him to see the loop holes in the team. It was in their first match that he was able to study the team and understood where the problem is which he fixed. Look at their last two matches, how they won it with ease.

I see Jose Mourinho as a very lucky coach, he doesn’t stay off not managing a team for far too long before he gets to manage another one again. Now that he is out of team that he’s managing, it’s just a couple of weeks or months before he gets a new team to manage again. I am sure offer will come for him from Europe and also from Saudi Arabia League sides, hopefully he’ll consider accepting offers from the Saudi league this time around, especially when he doesn’t get a very good offer from European teams. I call him a man of grace.

Jose Mourinho is currently enjoying the reward for his good works in the past he is a good coach who has won so many trophies with different clubs you don't expect such personality to stay without getting a job when he is doing well for himself and his career. It's unfortunate that his contract got terminated but I think this time he should take a little break before deciding if he will be accepting offers from European or he will be taking a long walk to Saudi league.
I agree with you. A break will make him decide where to go or start from. I believe that he will do better in the Saudi Pro League than in Europe, because his tactics will be new over there. Unlike, in European that his coaching tactics is no longer new to the coaches. Jose Mourinho was an outstanding coaching way back and I cannot forget his wonderful moments and achievements.

....The fact that Bayer Leverkusen management sold their best players to other clubs, they will continue to struggle this season even with a new coach.
Exactly whoever the coach is, they will definitely need extra efforts to make the club much better again, or even to approach their previous performance. Because Leverkusen has lost three key players: Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Amine Adli, Granit Xhaka, Jonathan Tah, and several other top players. So, for now, Leverkusen must stick with their current lineup, fortunately they have Patrik Schick.

However, ten Hag's influence at Leverkusen was indeed very subtle, even after several matches together. And it really didn't work.

Even though it looks like we are still not sure of what really happened between Leverkusen and Ten Hag, we are just saying based on what we see on the internet. I will say that if Bayer Leverkusen management knows that they will not give ten Hag enough time to manage this squad, then what is the use of signing him for under 2 months and getting fired?

I feel like Leverkusen management are even confused; they don’t know where to face and make things go well for this club. They sold their key players, and they are expecting the performance to be as it was before in a short period of time. I feel like regardless of how experienced the manager is, he won’t do that in a short period of time; he needs at least a complete season. I'm
The moment Ten Hag was hired was when I noticed that Leverkusen are confused on which coach to hire and how they can maintain the team performance. Imagine, what do they expect, a miracle or something more than a miracle. The way that you lay your bed is how you will lie on it. Leverkusen sold their best players and hired Ten Hag. What do they think the performance of tje team will be like.

Any gambler that has no alternative source of income and is waiting for gambling to make him rich is in a dream and until he wakes up from it he will remain in that state for ever
How will such a gambler have money for his gambling activities when he is not working and see gambling as a job. These gamblers are the ones that make people see gambling as something bad because they will be addicted in the long run and start misbehaving.

If it suddenly stops, it will be difficult to sustain mining on transaction fees alone. This would certainly put security at risk and the future of bitcoin would be uncertain. But only time will tell whether it can survive. I don't think that will happen at all. But if it does, the market would be completely destroyed.
Transaction fee will be enough for miners if all bitcoin are mined. Transaction fee will be high in the year 2140 because bitcoin will also be very expensive at that time. Bitcoin network cannot stop because if any miner is not interested anymore due to lack of incentive will pack his bag and leave. Other miners will keep the network going.

Inter Milan still don't reach to limit of this player generation and they still have some possible good seasons with those players but their weakness is at their head coach position with Chivu. An experienced coach can use their current players well and even can lead them to Scudetto or Champions League title but with Chivu, I don't believe that he will be able to do this.
Remember who coached Inter Milan before Chivu and how they performed, which was also less than ideal in the title race. Isn't Simone Inzaghi far more experienced and one of the most successful coaches in Italy? I think it's not just about the quality of the coach, but also the need for younger players combined with experience to greatly increase Inter Milan's chances of competing for the title. Chivu is certainly not an experienced coach, and I doubt Inter Milan can achieve success with him, especially in the Champions League.
Let Chuvi win Scudetto first before we can talk about winning Champions League. I am not expecting Inter to go beyond the round of 16 if they're lucky, because Chivu does not have the experience to play in the Champions League. If I am considering the favorite clubs to win UCL this season, I hardly think of Inter because of the new coach that they hired. He has to prove it.

There are many teams that perform well against strong teams and perform poorly against less strong teams. Sometimes strong teams do not know the past analysis of weak teams and their players in detail so during training, the match situation goes against them due to not knowing the strengths of the opposing team players. If they were aware of other strong teams and their players in advance and practices their strategies to counter them in advance it would be easier to play against them. The same situation was seen in the case of Barcelona, ​​​​they performed poorly against Rayo Vallecano. But despite being a weak team played very well because the Vallecano players were aware of Barca strengths and went to the field after studying the players of the opposing team.

I doubt that Barcelona didn’t study Rayo Vallecano before this match, but that doesn’t change the fact that Rayo Vallecano have an excellent defense, and they should have expected that they would defend. But Barcelona didn’t try to force the game until the moment Rayo Vallecano equalized, and after that they were unlucky because they couldn’t adjust for the rest of the match. So in this game, the draw became possible only thanks to the hosts’ defense.
Flick need to work more on the team for stable their performance. Barcelona scored two goals before Rayo, I don't see any reason why Barcelona will be so lose that they allowed Rayo to break into their defense easily and equalized the goals when Barca knows that Rayo has a solid defense and would be a problem for them to breakthrough. Barca messed up.

Nothing last forever, change is constant, it's time for other clubs to dominate the league. Watch out for Liverpool dominance this season.
I really don't think Liverpool will dominate the league because we still have clubs that will disturb them which are Arsenal and Chelsea, the match Liverpool played with Arsenal was very tough and live of managed to score one goal, Arsenal also had opportunity to score but they were just facing bad lock that day that does not mean that they are not informed, Arsenal is very inform and can win the League this season, Chelsea is also a team that is very informed this season and if they should jam or play with Liverpool this season I don't think Liverpool can win them easily, Liverpool may have won last season premier League title but dominating it and winning it again this season is something that I think is possible and I don't see them winning it again, for me Arsenal is the team I think we win the premier League title this season, however Arsenal needs to be very consistent and determine to win the league title because other things are also determine to win it.
Are you kidding me. Have you forgotten who Arsenal is, a runner up. Why didn't Arsenal stopped Liverpool from winning tge title last season. Since, they couldn't do it last season, they cannot do it this season. Already, we have seen the prove after a free kick defeated them. If you talk about Chelsea, I can consider them.

It is literally unfair to just conclude on Manchester City as an underdog this season.  I agree that they have not been I their best form and performance this season but it is not satisfactory enough to conclude on them as underdogs when we have the actual underdogs who are yet to have a decent start this season.  Soon I believe  their former and performance will still improve so let us give them that time and see what will be of them soon.
Perhaps what happens to Manchester City this season will be very different from last season, because this season several underdog teams have also undergone changes and could even become stronger this season. So, Manchester City's journey this season won't be easy, although I personally still believe Manchester City will be a team that will return to strength this season. However, the obstacles this season will truly create excessive difficulties for any team, so the players and coaches will have to fight harder this season.

but I think the part that might confuse  people is how you separated emergency funds from reserved funds. In financial planning terms, they are usually considered the same thing  that is cash set aside for unexpected needs. If we start introducing another layer like reserved funds, it could give beginners the impression that they need to maintain multiple categories before they even think about Bitcoin, which might not be realistic for most people.
I disagree with you that emergency funds and reserve funds are the same. Emergency funds main purpose is to back up your bitcoin investment so that you don't sell prematurely when you're hit with unforeseen circumstances and should be used when there's a real life emergency. Whereas, reserve funds has more flexibility than emergency funds because you can use your reserve funds for several purposes like buying bitcoin at the dip and also you can start using your reserve funds when you are hit with real life emergency before going to use your emergency funds if your reserve funds cannot solve the problem completely.

They are all backup funds but does not mean that they are the same and should be kept together since they're not for the same purpose. Your emergency funds should be at least three months of your monthly expenses and it's always the bigger portion amongst your backup funds. Reserve funds will be of little size compared to your emergency funds.
