Congratulations and we look forward to your continued contributions to VGR. 

Fair weather friends are useless. They'll never have your back, they'll talk shit when you're not around, and they will even rob you. I know all that from experience. So if they're fake, give them the boot. If they're down to roll with you, keep them around. You need someone who's going to have your back, not someone who's looking for the right place to stick a knife.

Lukaku never got a fair chance at chelsea in his first spell at chelsea and expectations were way too high when he came back also at man utd he was also under appreciated like who in the right mind is going to pick rashford over lukaku oh wait solskjar did and he has as much knowledge of football then my parents which is exactly none. Yeah i wouldn't be surprised Lukaku bangs in 30+ goals for inter milan next season, dude is out for bloodlust and will want to prove tuchel wrong they dumped him again.
 i never understood why you would want to play for chelsea anyway yeah sure money makes up a lot but especially as a youngster why would you want to sign for chelsea since the chances you're going to make it to the first team are next to none, if you've got a long contract be prepared to live inside a suitcase because it's going to loan after loan.
Needless to say they dumped players like De bryne, salah and nathan aké who never even got a fair chance at chelsea maybe it was mourinho his fault but come on at a normal run club that would have never happened. Hell they even dumped Declan Rice when he was 14 years old.

I've completed Ghost of tsushima a couple of years ago, unless you are skipping a lot of side missions (why would you do that because they are great) it toke me around 35 hours to get the platinum trophy! 
Woulden't know about Gta v it's story i completed the story mode a third time( the ps5/series x version) this time, probably more around 60 hours and i've yet to buy any businesses and do the assinations to manipulate the stock market and i've never been able to buy the golf club in my 2 previous playtrough so this is still on my to do list. Gta v is one those rare games that they could give you extra story missions that would last another 60 hours and it still woulden't get boring.

I mean Serie A is levels below La Liga, Epl and Bundesliga. Do you notice that most Serie A teams always do poorly in Europe. For instance, last year, AC Milan - the league champions dropped out of Europe after finishing last in their group. Inter Milan in the round of 16 in the Champions League, Napoli in the Europa League and Juventus in the round of 16 against a mediocre Villareal. The only team that did anything in Europe this season was Roma and they won the Conference League (European 3rd tier but still...).

Let's see what happens, I know Barcelona is in real transformation. They just want to replace those leg legs with fresh and talented players that are eager to bring the club back to its glory days. 

Iniesta's goal against Chelsea in 2009, remains one of the epic goal in the history of UEFA champions league. 
 

Yes, their is conspiracy here, that's what they were doing until sir Alex Ferguson retired. Now, they aren't in that position to manipulate the outcome of matches. 

I'm not going to mince my words, what you just posted is not just obviously wrong, it's disgusting.
 
@Crazycrab clearly put up a lot of evidence to your contrary about the quality of the woman's game and left your argument so utterly destroyed there is no point in me taking that any further, so what I'll do instead in explain why there is such a big wage gap between men and woman in professional football, because it's actually very simple.
 
Football for men has been a professional sport for around 150 years. In that time, it has grown, developed, gained in popularity, gained investment and a following to become an industry in of itself worth $billions. The men in the sport are paid far too much and that's a product, or perhaps a mishandling, of the time the men's game has had to grow. It had all that traction without rival, and not to mention many decades to grow into the, frankly, lucrative world it is today. The woman's game, by contrast, has not only been a professional sport for a mere 30 years or so and has thusly not had the time to grow into lucrative world the men's game is. It's also got that men's game as a commercial rival, creating a challenge to get this off the ground that men's game didn't even have to contend with. The woman's game quite simply has not had that chance to become what the men's game is. It's only been in the last few years I've seen the woman's game get at least some sort of push by mainstream media at all.
 
That little insight was my favour to you, and that's all you get from me as I'm not interested in spending my time on here debating with a sexist little twirp. I know you posted again as I was typing this, but I don't care. Got help you when the day comes you actually have to deal with woman in the real world.

Very funny indeed, Alex Ferguson always do that. I used to wonder if he wants to cut the referees ear, when whispering to them. That's just his tricks to decisive the referees to do his wish and overturn the scoreline in their favour. 

You're welcome @Yaramaki, the sports section has been my most preferred niche here on VGR. 
Back on topic: 
Here is my take on player transfers this summer, here are the best deals so far for me, it doesn't matter if they're gotten for free or not. What I see in them is potential to succeed in their current team. 
- R. Lewandowski - FC Bayern Munichen - FC Barcelona '€50m including add-ons. That's the best transfer for the season, who came in the back of having 50 goal haul last season, claiming the European golden shoe once again. 
 - Darwin Nunez, Benfica FC - Liverpool FC '£64m. Nunez is seen by many as a potential red's legend, be has the potential to seize his opportunity so great in the premier league this season. Let's see how it goes for Darwin Nunez when the season gets underway. 
- Erling Haaland, from Borusia Dortmund to Manchester city - '£51m. 
Erling Haaland's father played for city who bears the name 'Alfie Haaland, and was a star back then, when his son 'Erling, used to be a fan boy for the club. Now, the son is a player, this time, I believe he'll perform incredibly more than what his father achieved with the club. He got the potential of becoming a premier league top goal scorer if he puts on the show during his stay at Dortmund, and hopefully become a city legend if he plays for good number of years and keeping his current standards or doing better. 
Other notable transfer options I truly admired are; 
- Raheem sterling, from Manchester city - Chelsea '£47.5. 
- Gabriel Jesus, from Manchester city - to Arsenal - £45m. He has plenty goals already in their ongoing pre-season tour. 
- Raphinha - Leeds united to FC Barcelona - '£49m. 

I always enjoy this part of the year, transfer rumours, clubs spending money like there is no tommorow to upgrade their squad. So why not open a thread for this transfer window, what are some done transfer you are exited about and what are some interesting ones, which ones are bound to flop.
This year it's unusual how many players left on a free transfer, let's see the most interesting ones 
Axel Witsel -> From Dortmund one a free to Atletico Madrid (my favourite team in spain)
Divock Origi -> Ac Milan on a free transfer from Liverpool
Paul Pogba -> Back to juventus
i know @Justin11 and @Heatman love to talk about football, so i'll start chiping in more often from now in the sports section on the board.

Bugs are a thing, as long as they are doing update patches I can't say that they are bad or good. 
It's like microsoft flight simulator, so far I spent over $200 on Aircrafts LOL not the sim itself.
Fenix A320 = £50 PMDG 737 = £55 B146 = £48 aerosoft twin otter = £35 The Junker = £15 Spitfire = £38

That's the horrifying scene of the use of white phosphorus to kills innocent women and children in the game. If that doesn't invoke empathy in anyone, I wouldn't know what else would. 
 

I forgot my AC .It's gonna be super hot tomorrow and I feel for anyone without AC.Even with a fan high heat is miserable.

I lack having air condition in my room, that's one thing I want to add, since I feel hot at times due to harsh weather condition here in my locality. The ceiling fan makes hell of noise, I don't fancy it anymore 😂. 

WizKid is one of Africa's - Nigerian best when it comes to the music industry. Between him and Burna Boy, who do you love his songs more? 
I'm watching Last Last by Burna Boy now. 
 

Trust me, he's the most entertaining thing about watching Man United. He even headbutted Ronaldo and caught Pogba in the face with his foot.
and
 

My preferred foot is left also but I usually play on the right wing as I do like to cut in and shoot. The best thing about it is that I can cross, pass, shoot and dribble with my right foot almost as well as with my left so it makes me very unpredictable. I can play every attacking position, in central midfield and even as a wingback because I have huge amounts of stamina and love bombing up and down the flank.

Ronaldinho Gaúcho is one of my favorite footballers in history. I love his amazing football skills, especially with his dribbling skill, I wish to adapt some of his dribbling skill add to my own little skill to grow as a player, lol. 

Another one is Benzema winner vs PSG
 

His agent Mendes is also running his mouth in the media and Ronaldo has nothing to make him keep quiet so that indicates he must approve of his agent's actions. At the current moment, Ronaldo is more of a distraction than a worthy addition to the team.

What you said is right, when a player is feeling unsettled, the door should be shown to the player. It is not right to keep an unsettled player in the midst of the team. I know, Ronaldo never said publicly about his intention to seek new adventure in order to secure a champions league football. But the signs are there, be wants champions league football, be isn't finished yet, that's what he feels, he can give something better to the team he joins. He isn't bigger than man united, let's see what the future holds for Ronaldo. 

I think VR will be used for a lot more than just personal use. Think about the other applications. Maybe it can recreate a drivers test, or teach you how to fly a plane without having to use an actual plane. I can see that saving money for people who want to learn something, but can't use the actual device to learn it. 
And I can see VR being used in classroom settings more often. Especially to take tests and go to class.
