Bournemouth winger Rayan has a release clause in his contract that will kick in from the January transfer window onwards — and The Athletic can reveal it will be £130m (€150m).
However, the release clause will not be applicable this summer, just six months after he joined the club. It will be active from January, in the 2027 summer transfer window and beyond. 📝

Don't let a 10-minute problem consume a 24-hour day. The email was uncomfortable. The train was late. The conversation went poorly. Feel it, deal with it, then allow the rest of your life to remain intact.
@Mobyhaque1@AnfieldA97 Agreed - I would expect Tsimikas to stay though. So it’s likely to be Endo and Ramsay. I guess that is another reason why Spence makes sense.

🎾 Even Legends Cannot Outrun Time
There are few sights in sport more moving than watching greatness refuse to surrender quietly.
For a few glorious minutes on Centre Court last night, Serena Williams reminded everyone why generations fell in love with her. The serve still bit, the roar still echoed, the competitive fire still flickered into life. The crowd believed because they wanted to believe. So did she.
But elite sport has always been the most unforgiving judge of all. It doesn't care about reputation, memories or sentiment. It measures only what you can produce in that exact moment, against an opponent, Maya Joint, with younger legs, fresher lungs and tomorrow on her side.
Time waits for nobody, man or woman. Champions spend entire careers convincing us they can bend reality to their will. Eventually reality always wins.
That doesn't diminish Serena's legacy in the slightest. If anything, it enhances it. Walking back into the arena after 4 years away, daring to compete on the biggest stage again, knowing every weakness would be exposed, demanded a different kind of courage. The result belongs in the record books. The effort belongs somewhere far deeper.
The standing ovation was never about a first round defeat. It was for two decades of brilliance, for a champion who made the impossible seem routine, and for the reminder that even the greatest athletes cannot defeat the one opponent every human being must eventually face.
As for the wildcard, I have no issue with it. Yes, it denied a younger player an opportunity, but the global attention Serena Williams brought back to Wimbledon was worth it. She is an active professional again, sometimes you make allowances, even if doubles now feels more realistic than singles. I suspect we have just watched her final Wimbledon singles match, and if so, Centre Court was exactly where it should have happened.
Greatness fades. Legacy does not.
@MMORTON6 Howzit Michael - i would love to know what in particular that you saw from the team that suggests the dressing room has gone - as a former professional player you would know the signs better than anyone. Thanks
In 2002, Jordan Peterson gave a 1hr lecture on how to kill fear & unlock exponential growth in your life.
His frameworks:
- Fear shrinks when faced
- Ignored problems grow
- Treasure hides in chaos
15 lessons that will help you conquer anxiety & weakness:
Jordan Peterson revealed the uncomfortable truth about what women really desire in men:
1. Women don’t just look for a man they love. They look for a man they can respect, rely on, and build a future with when life gets serious.
2. A strong woman doesn’t want a weak man she has to carry. She wants someone who can stand beside her, challenge her, and still make her feel safe.
3. The more successful a woman becomes, the smaller her dating pool gets. Not because success makes her unattractive, but because her standards naturally rise with her own level.
4. Highly accomplished women don’t intimidate men on purpose. But their intelligence, ambition, beauty, and status can make most men feel like they have no chance.
5. Men are more afraid of rejection than women realize. When a woman looks like she already has endless options, many men don’t even try.
6. Women often look across and above their own level. They naturally desire men who are equal or higher in confidence, competence, maturity, status, or stability.
7. No woman wants to build a life with a man she has to parent. She wants support because marriage, children, and family demand a man who can carry responsibility.
8. Men and women experience time differently in dating. A woman near 30 may think seriously about children, while a man of the same age may still feel he has years to decide.
9. A young woman is often valued immediately. A young man usually has to build himself before the world starts paying attention to him.
10. That’s why men are forced to develop depth. They build skill, confidence, money, personality, discipline, and status because looks alone rarely carry them.
11. A real man is not just older, richer, or dominant. He is emotionally stable, mentally strong, and capable of making a woman feel protected without controlling her.
12. Modern dating is painful because desire is not politically correct. People can say whatever they want, but biology, age, ambition, status, and attraction still shape choices.
13. The hard truth for men is simple. Don’t complain about women’s standards. Become the kind of man who can meet them.
14. The hard truth for women is also simple. Success gives freedom, but it can also shrink your options when you expect a man above your level.
15. Peterson’s point is not that men or women are wrong. It’s that attraction has rules, and ignoring those rules creates confusion, resentment, and loneliness.

Reveló 10 hábitos que haces todos los días y que te quitan años de vida.
1) Repasar conversaciones en tu cabeza
In this 2018 interview with John Anderson, @jordanbpeterson spoke through tears about a simple, haunting truth: how little encouragement some people need to turn their lives around and how rarely they receive it.
Following the recent update from @MikhailaFuller regarding Jordan’s health and his battle with akathisia and neurological injury, these words feel more poignant than ever. Jordan has spent years pouring encouragement into the lives of millions; now, we want to send that same strength back to him.
John and the entire team here are praying for our friend Jordan and the Peterson family during this incredibly difficult season. If you are people of prayer, we ask you to do the same.

🗣️ LOTHAR MATTHÄUS: “It was the first time Maradona and I actually spent time together—two whole days—we really got along.”
“At lunch before the match, Maradona tells me, ‘I forgot my boots.’ He had a contract with Puma, but with the national team, he always had to wear Adidas. And since he was already heading to training, he only had Adidas sneakers on. So I ask him, ‘Diego, what’s your shoe size?’ He says 6½ or 7, I don’t remember exactly. And I say, ‘Look, I know you also have a contract with Puma. But I’ve got a pair of Adidas with me.’ Most people wouldn’t have worn them, but that didn’t bother Maradona. After the match, he gave them back. But he had laced them differently!”
“He didn’t lace them diagonally hole by hole—he skipped a hole and went diagonal, then skipped another. I thought: ‘If Maradona can play with laces like that, so can I.’ So I left them laced like that, but only used them with the national team—never in training, never in any Bundesliga or Champions League matches—so they lasted longer.”
“In the final, they were already a bit worn out. I often played with holes in my boots, which is hard to imagine today. But in the 35th minute of the final, the sole ripped, gave out. So I had to change boots—including my model. I put on a pair I wasn’t familiar with. That’s why I didn’t take the penalty in the final—Brehme did. Maradona’s lacing gave more room around the instep. They were more comfortable to wear. I still have those boots at home. And I also have two of Maradona’s World Cup jerseys.”
