Arthur bid goodbye to Barcelona before heading to Juventus

0

The Brazilian had been sold to Juventus as a part of the Pjanic swap deal that helped both the clubs mutually. This was obviously a bad ending, something which fans never expected but as the Barcelona board required money, they did sell a young player to bring an old one in the form of 30-year old Miralem Pjanic.

Arthur presented as a new player of Barcelona Arthur bid goodbye to Barcelona before heading to Juventus

This saga even ended up badly when Arthur declined to return to Barca to train at the club and they took this even further legally. He arrived at Barcelona from Gremio in 2018 for 31 million euros plus nine in variables and he has been sold at a fee of €72m plus €10m in variables.

Pjanic was an awkward part of the deal that the board had to bear. While Arthur Melo didn’t return to play for the Champions League, Pjanic on the other hand, played out the entire season with Juve. Although, the Bosnian has been tested positive for COVID-19 and he is in self-isolation.

Arthur refuses back to get back to training, Barcelona opens disciplinary proceedings

Now, Arthur Melo has become more diplomatic and has shared a message to say goodbye to Barca:

“Saying goodbye is always hard but harder still when you leave behind a place that is my home, an incredible city that will always be in my heart, where everyone welcomed me like another Catalan,” said the Brazilian.

“They showed me a new culture and helped me grow as a player and above all, as a person. I say goodbye to an impressive group of players and feel very fortunate to have played by their side, but above all grateful for their support as friends, people with big hearts.”

“And fans who won me over from the first day and fill me with pride to be a Cule and defend one of the most important badges in football, and they have shown me love and respect that I will never forget.

“Today I have to say goodbye but I’ll take everything I’ve lived here forever in my heart. Thanks for everything, Barcelona!”

Obviously, this kind of goodbye was not that fans expected from the Brazilian but however, it is what it is and Arthur Melo will start a new journey at Turin, so we wish him good luck!

Koeman feels Pique is still needed, but Sergio Busquets may lose his regular start

0

Ronald Koeman has been busy making his team, talking to the players, deciding who to keep and who to not, along with transfers as well. Already he has told Luis Saurez that he’s not in Koeman’s plans and he also wants to get rid of Rakitic, Vidal, Umtiti, and Junior Firpo.

pique1jpg Koeman feels Pique is still needed, but Sergio Busquets may lose his regular start

Now, coming to the other two senior members of the club, i.e. Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets, Koeman has talked to them as well, according to Sport.

The Dutchman has told the experienced defender that he still will be a key figure in his team and an untouchable, in the Barcelona side. However, things get a bit complex for the midfielder as he is still wanted at the club but he will no longer get the privilege as he is used to.

B4 pr5XIYAErUD4 Koeman feels Pique is still needed, but Sergio Busquets may lose his regular start

This means Busquets will no longer be guaranteed to start all games, especially the crucial games and he has to start from the bench, much like what both the club legends, Xavi and Iniesta did in their last days at the game.

As Sport reckons, Koeman has told Pique that he is important because of his leadership qualities at defense. The Dutch coach wants him to keep being the ‘Kaiser’ of a more intense team.

PIQUE 004 min Koeman feels Pique is still needed, but Sergio Busquets may lose his regular start

According to media reports, Koeman wants to change the 4-3-3 setup to 4-2-1-3 setup i.e. use two holding midfielders and use a creative midfielder (Coutinho or Rique). So, De Jong will be back at his traditional role at Ajax and in the national team, supported by Pjanic and occasionally by Busquets as well.

Sergio has earned a reputation at the club, playing throughout his career for Barca, so giving him the choice to end his career in a more respectful is much deserved. However, if he feels negative about the secondary role, then the club will sit down with him and talk because he has the right to decide.

Koeman is also looking to make use of the transfer market and plans to bring in these players:

IOS 14 Beta with 120 Hz display on iPhone 12 Pro Max launch may be delayed to October

Generally in the month of September Apple releases its new iPhone models. But for the COVID-19 situation, this year the launch of the iPhone 12 can be delayed by a month and is expected to be released in October. If we tell more precisely, more or less the day will be October,12.

But, this is only the release date of this phone. Though it is not official, it is expected that customers can pre-order the iPhone 12 from November onwards. This is a massive deviation from Apple’s traditional September launch timeline. It may be a result of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic that disrupted the global supply chain and has caused many production issues. Pre-order and shipping both might start in November.

Apple has already confirmed that there are no official dates for releasing the iPhone 12 in the month of September. Rather than that, Apple is willing to launch the next-generation Apple Watch and a new iPad. Though there is no official date for launching those devices, it is believed that it will be unveiled via a press release in the week starting from September 7.

i1 1 IOS 14 Beta with 120 Hz display on iPhone 12 Pro Max launch may be delayed to October

According to some tipsters, iPhone 12 will run on IOS 14 Beta version and it will have a 120 Hz smooth display. So, these can be some good addition to this model. The iPhone 12 camera production was recently reported to have run into quality issues, and this may be one of the reasons for further delay. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo notes that Apple will be looking for some more sources of cameras from its second supplier who hasn’t run into these quality issues during the production process. According to the analyst, his little hiccup should not mess with Apple’s launch plans.

So, in September after the grand launch of Apple Watch and iPad, we can expect some official confirmation about the launch of the iPhone 12.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with S Pen, Replacement of Note series with Galaxy Z Fold 3

From the past couple of years South Korean company Samsung has come with a lot of mid-range and a bundle of flagship smartphones into the market. Starting from S9, S10 and now it is the market of S20. Samsung has launched three variants of S20. They are S20, S20+ & S20 Ultra. In the case of Note20, it has come with two variants. They are Note20 and Note20 Ultra.

Now it will be the time of the S21 series. According to the report from The Elec Korea, Samsung Galaxy S21 will be the successor of the S20 series. The S21 lineup is expected in the first of 2021. Galaxy S21 will be launched in three variants, but this time the variants are codenamed like M1, N2, and O3. The S pen will arrive with the O3 model.

There is no official confirmation in which month Samsung will release the S21. But the twist is something else. Samsung may discontinue the Galaxy Note series and will bring Galaxy Z Fold which will be S-pen enabled. That means, Samsung would launch the Galaxy S in H1, and Z Fold phones in H2.

Technology is pretty advanced nowadays. So, a huge amount of production of UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass) is not a big deal for a gigantic company like Samsung. It has the capacity to produce 600,000 folding displays per month. Moreover, Samsung is planning to make 1 million folding displays per month at the end of the year. The only issue with those folding smartphones that those will be at a very high price. That is why selling is not that much as Notes, but the profit margin is pretty high in the case of folding phones.

Though there is no official information about the pricing of S21, it is expected to be slightly cheaper than the folding series of Samsung. S21 lineup could also get more sales for that.

After four months of Indian release of the iPhone SE (2020), India is willing to assemble Apple iPhones on her own. Good thing is, India has already started the procedure of manufacturing. The Wistron facility in Karnataka would help Apple avoid an import duty of 20 percent of that mobile phone. Apart from the iPhone SE (2020), the Cupertino giant has also produced five other iPhone models in this country, including the iPhone 11.

Apple said, “iPhone SE packs our most powerful chip into our most popular size at our most affordable price and we’re excited to be making it in India for our local customers.”

There is no official details about the release date or pricing of “Assembled by India” iPhones. Though we can expect to see this label of assembling iPhones by India in the coming weeks. we can also expect some discount of this phone in India, as most of the expenses can be nullified if we can assemble or manufacture any device in India. Most of the manufacturers from India want to manufacture or assemble devices in India as it will save up on the high import duties which include a 20% import tax. Ultimate market price will also get down because of the previous point.
