Neymar, in reserve

Barcelona's targets for the upcoming transfer window include Neymar, currently with PSG, but he is not the priority for the club's directors.

The main targets are Lautaro Martinez and Miralem Pjanic and it seems unlikely there would be enough money available to sign all three players.

The Brazilian has been a regular target for the club ever since he left in August 2017 and speculation has still not died down.

His popularity in the dressing room and his quality mean that he does tick many boxes for Barcelona, although there are some who are against a return given the way in which he left the club and his legal action against the club.

Even beyond that, there are concerns about his behaviour off the field.

Despite that, he is being held in reserve.

A move for Lautaro Martinez is on track and he could accompany Lionel Messi in attack, with Pjanic also looking likely to join to add depth in midfield.

The financial problems of the club mean that they must involve swaps to make the books balance.

It would be very complicated for Neymar to return to the Camp Nou, but it's an operation which is never ruled out.

The player himself has never ruled out a return and his contract in Paris is up in the summer in of 2022, though any exit would have to be approved by club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

Black Adam Can Be The DCEU’s Wolverine

The upcoming Black Adam movie could position its title character as DC's equivalent to Wolverine. Though Black Adam has taken quite a long time to get rolling, the first day of DC FanDome gave a peak at what audiences can expect, from name-dropping several Justice Society of America members who make appearances to Dwayne Johnson stressing the harsh origins of the title character. Johnson's description of Black Adam himself also may offer a sense of just what role he'll occupy in the world of the DCEU. Johnson would place particular emphasis on Black Adam having been a slave who achieves his freedom after being granted power from the gods and who now seeks to unleash his own brand of justice on the world. Aside from the moral ambiguity of Black Adam, Johnson has also repeatedly spoken of him as a game-changing figure in the DCEU with the power level that he operates at. Meanwhile, with the way Black Adam is being presented as a character, he could carry some notable parallel...

Epic Games asks court to stop Apple's 'retaliation' after App Store ban

Epic Games said late on Friday that it has asked a court to stop what it saw as Apple Inc's retaliation against the "Fortnite" creator after the iPhone maker terminated Epic Games' account on its App Store. Epic Games filed for a preliminary injunction that would put its game back in the App Store and restore its developer account. The filing was made in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. It argued that Epic Games is "likely to suffer irreparable harm" in the absence of a preliminary injunction and that "the balance of harms tips sharply in Epic's favor". The filing described the iPhone maker as a "monopolist" that maintains its monopolies by "explicitly prohibiting any competitive entry". Late last week, Apple terminated Epic Games' account on its App Store amid a legal battle over the iPhone maker's in-app payment guidelines and accusations they constitute a monopoly. Apple sa...
