🚨 EXCL: Arsenal exploring move to sign Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid. #AFC interest early stage + clubs not yet in talks but idea approved at all levels. Much rests on contract process as no breakthrough yet & #RMFC do not want free exit @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/qYdS5vlfE6
Rice Jude Saka Kane. And it should’ve been Trent as the 5th untouchable. These are all elite talents that every version of England should’ve been built around for the last 3 major tournaments. Euro 2028 is the last chance to salvage.
🚨 EXCL: Bruno Guimaraes informs Newcastle United of wish to leave & join Arsenal. #AFC stepping up pursuit - ready to offer deal worth up to £60m at present but no club-to-club contact yet + #NUFC stance still not entertaining bids for 28yo @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/6W3cpcqKKh
"Messi scored 16 of his 19 World Cup goals against countries that have never won the World Cup.” A misleading post like this is trending these days. Technically true. Also a textbook example of disinformation by Ronaldo fans.
Only 8 countries have ever won the World Cup: Brazil, Uruguay, Italy, England, Spain, Germany, France, and Messi's own Argentina. Since scoring against your own country is impossible, that leaves just 7 potential champions to score against.
And here's the funny part: Messi has scored against France. He never even faced five of those champions in a World Cup knockout match. No matches against Brazil, Italy, England, Spain, or Uruguay means no opportunity to score against them in the first place. Germany is the only champion he faced multiple times without scoring.
So the stat is presented as if Messi was constantly struggling against World Cup winners, when in reality he barely had the chance to play most of them.
It's like saying, “He never scored against teams he never played.” This is how Ronaldo fans spread fake and misleading post to push their disgusting agenda

ℹ️ @Footysm
• Mikel Arteta is set to renew his contract with Arsenal and spearhead the title defence of The English Champions. The club approached our Basque native earlier this year, and it was agreed Mikel wanted to focus on delivering us major silverware & to earn his position within the home of the champions. Total accountability.
My understanding is that Enrique Riquleme explored a secret plot to bring Arteta to Madrid if he had won his presidential election. Mikel is currently on 'holiday', yet actively involved in our transfer operations. While everyone at the club are behaving like it’s a done deal, the club hope to finalise the inner details of the most important contract at the club. Minimum 3 years - the wheels are firmly on. Viva La Mikel.
• Andrea Berta's current contract runs until 2028. As I understand it, senior officials from Saudi explored a possibility of luring the Italian to the Middle East, while Bayern also covertly did the same thing. Andrea promised Mikel last summer he would deliver him a squad worthy of major silverware… mission completed, with the UCL now in their sights.
Another thing I wanted to mention is Micheli Maurizio, the man responsible for scouting Hamšík, Kvaratskhelia, Kim Min-Jae and now Christos Tzolis. While Arsenal aim to add atleast 2 attackers, do not underestimate the authority and respect this man has within the club and wider football. Two weeks ago, I was speaking to the representatives of a player who told me Micheli was the one holding court without the presence of Berta. This duo act are conducting business seamlessly, as you can see with the revamp of the Arsenal youth set up, for which I am told the club have ring fenced a special transfer budget.
• The contract of Declan Rice is also a major focus for Arsenal this summer, with initial talks starting early this year. As I understand it, Declan is very happy at Arsenal despite interest from the likes of Real Madrid and others. Talks are going smoothly and expect this to get done in due course.
• Jurrien Timber's contract is very close to completion. Minor details remain.
• David Raya has a 1 year optional extension on his current contract, which has 2 years left. All parties are very relaxed about his long term future, as a pay rise was agreed last summer.
As for all the rumours circulating, as of today, Arsenal are yet to make direct contact with ANY club for a MIDFIELDER.
I am happy to provide a 'state of play' post on the midfielder situation if that would be helpful?

I swear this is the last time I will be rage baited into this. Spent many years as a civil servant so it was utterly blasted into me (and rightly so) THE BBC IS FUNDED BY PUBLIC MONEY. You do NOT spend that frivolously. Any tweet criticising the BBC on this that omits that key detail should be disregarded as intellectually dishonest.
Fidelity’s ETF clients bought a total of $28.6M of ETH this week.
So far, they have bought more this week than any week since late-April.
Are we seeing an institutional rotation back to ETH?
In bear markets you absolutely just do not buy this type of trash.
That's like the golden rule for bear markets in crypto. It kinda blows my mind that someone with so much experience is so openly doing this.
HYPE technically isn't that bad but....it was so hot when he bought it and just had a massive run - times like this are when you are looking for exits, not entries.
This very much gives the impression that David got lucky buying and holding a lot of ETH early and doesn't actually know how to navigate these markets at all.
Capital preservation in a bear market is of paramount importance. You just don't buy like this in bears.
You wait for BTC bottoming structures (wait for months/years) and you either DCA or unload the truck at a black swan.
Then you cross fingers and wait for BTC to move up. As it does, you can extend down the risk curve as BTC moving up is confirmation of a bullish market with upward momentum.
Then you can trade alts with small leverage for quick trades or you can either add fresh capital/sell some of the BTC that's in profit to buy select alts that look like runners with longevity - like SOL last cycle, then HYPE last cycle and probably this cycle.
I honestly thought everyone knew this?
