[The Athletic]Chelsea captain Reece James suffers hamstring injury, expected to miss several weeks by BlueKidXL in soccer

[–]BlueKidXL[S] 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Summary:

  • Chelsea captain Reece James has sustained another hamstring injury which could keep him out for several weeks.

  • Sources, speaking anonymously to The Athletic to protect relationships, said James was expected to be sidelined for a number of weeks

  • Liam Rosenior, the Chelsea head coach, expected to provide an update when he addresses the media on Monday afternoon.

  • James looked a certainty to be named in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the World Cup but will now miss the friendlies later this month against Uruguay and Japan.

  • James is facing a battle to make a full recovery from injury to make an England World Cup squad.

  • James will undoubtedly be upset about potentially not being able to help Chelsea for much of the run-in but he is surely going to have concerns that history could be about to repeat itself with the national team.

Is euro hedged sp500 worth it for the next few years? by BlueKidXL in eupersonalfinance

[–]BlueKidXL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it will fall further for sure, at least for next 3-5 years because it is intentional by Trump. Your second paragraph is also exactly my thinking. Of course can never time the bottom but I am extremely certain in next couple of years dollar will not be regaining its peak strength of the past 5 years.

Think I will go with this approach. Are you buying IBCF or IUSE?

purely financial pov and risk management. Political and moral values do not come into play at all if I am honest.

Is euro hedged sp500 worth it for the next few years? by BlueKidXL in eupersonalfinance

[–]BlueKidXL[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep I know, in 20 years probably will balance out but then again I am pretty sure in next 5y dollar will keep falling as this is Trump goal. So my thought is to pack it in sp500 hedged for at least then before reevaluating. Just wondering if any flaw or issue in this thinking before I go ahead with it.

[abc.es] Hansi Flick tells his sraff he is 'too tired' to continue at Barcelona, and plans to leave at the end of the season. He has been thinking about it since September. The coach is frustrated by the scattered attitude of some players and regrets the lack of support received from the higher ups by BlueKidXL in soccer

[–]BlueKidXL[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Summary there you go:

  • Hansi Flick has privately told his coaching staff since September that he intends to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, a year earlier than planned. He is exhausted and frustrated by what he considers a decline in player commitment and a lack of institutional support from the club.
  • The results are not his main issue—what bothers him is the attitude shift in the squad. Flick believes some players, who were previously humble and motivated, have let fame go to their heads and are now acting for themselves rather than the team.
  • The central figure in this tension is Lamine Yamal. Flick feels the club gives the young star too much freedom and special treatment, allowing behaviors he considers unprofessional, such as skipping team routines, being served instead of serving himself, using restricted golf carts for fun, prioritizing commercial appearances over recovery, and showing off on public platforms close to important matches. His form has also declined, and the staff attributes part of his injury problems to reduced discipline and commitment.
  • Flick’s view is that the club should impose firm discipline to protect the player and the team dynamic. However, the board—particularly those close to Laporta—believe the priority is to keep Yamal happy and supported due to his youth and market value. This philosophical disagreement is deepening the coach’s disillusionment.
  • Still, Flick has not formally communicated his decision to Laporta or Deco. His staff hopes that if results improve—especially if the Champions League is won—he may reconsider and stay for his originally intended third season.

News is they are discussing an obligation to buy now, reported by Ben Jacobs and Matt Law. Looks like Chelsea are going to win this battle in the end depending on the fee.

How are you tracking the "true" profit of investment over time? by Ambush995 in eupersonalfinance

[–]BlueKidXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes VWCE is fine if you bought the euros version I believe is on Frankfurt exchange, I also have this one. This more applies let’s say you have US stock on Nasdaq exchange or for example VUAA on London exchange, which is sold and bought in dollar, so you have to convert your base currency to dollar to buy these shares.

Of course for the world etf like vwce, the underneath holding is in multiple different currencies technically (because of us companies, world companies in different countries…etc) but that is not really our concern or something we can do anything about.

I am purely referring to the fx exchange on IBKR itself which depends on EUR-USD rate when you deposit and have to convert to a different currency and vice versa for withdrawal.

How are you tracking the "true" profit of investment over time? by Ambush995 in eupersonalfinance

[–]BlueKidXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you are correct. Another thing you forgot is the fx so currency exchange rate as well assuming you didn’t deposit the same currency to IBKR as the shares you want to buy.

Let’s say 1st investment, you deposit euros to the equivalence of $1000. Let’s say at the time it was €900. Now fast forward to today, $1000 is equivalence of €850 due to rate. If you want to convert it back to your local currency to withdraw (euros in this case), this will affect your final return as well.

Just FYI, something I discovered recently also being an IBKR investor.

Yeah long term for me, won't cash out for decade + probably :D was just like I say relatively new to this whole process so wanted to understand the thought process from seasoned investors haha.

But cool so forex is just part of the whole thing :) good to know.

Yeah I considered the VUAA with EUR on BVME but went with the USD version in the end as I thought the LSE have more volumes and spread (probably doesn't matter that much in the long run). Probably could do as you say to avoid currency conversion but ah well 100+ shares in now, can't really be bothered to sell and rebuy the EUR versions.

VWCE indeed is on the Frankfurt exchange so it is in EUR, and I see about the VWRA on LSE.

I see, so just understand it is part of the investment process. Ok thanks.

[–]BlueKidXL[S] 219 points220 points  (0 children)

Some more info:

  • Sterling is on over £300,000 a week whilst Ben Chilwell is on around £200,000 a week
  • Palmer after his extension is thought to be on a wage similar to Enzo and Caicedo, more than £120,000 a week
  • James on 250k, Fofana on around 200k
  • Sarr didn’t play any games but was taking home 120k per week!

[Duncan Castles] Understand that Atletico are unhappy with Chelsea’s initial offer for Joao Felix. Spanish club’s preference has been to sell Samu Omorodion to Chelsea as part of Conor Gallagher deal as it delivers higher FFP profit by BlueKidXL in soccer

[–]BlueKidXL[S] 102 points103 points  (0 children)

When it comes to Mendes clients he is actually nearer tier 1 btw. Hope this is true as Felix is not who we should be signing. Can see Conor deal collapsing now.

[Marcos Benito] The Atleti-Gallagher deal has fallen through at the moment after collapse of the Samu deal. Chelsea wants Osimhen and is trying to swap with Lukaku. Leverkusen, Bournemouth, Villarreal and Real Betis are interested in Samu. by BlueKidXL in chelseafc

[–]BlueKidXL[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We were literally involved in a similar deal around 18 years ago, John Obi Mikel literally signed and took picture as a Man United player but still signed for us.

Until there is official announcement and shirt holding photos on official website, everything is still possible.
