Just because a player can dribble doesn't make him visionless. Saint Max was a different beast when Steve Bruce moved him to a central position. Saint Max will sit down all our wingers except a fit Pulisic.

Where is Jorginho in the list?

Havertz10 is someone I found interesting when he is not discussing Havertz/Mount I hope to meet him one day offline to talk about other things aside football. He is well read and it isn't shy to share his convictions regardless of the negativity that may arise from sharing such when he's on your side you will have a capable deputy but keep your woman away from him.

ESR is a player I'm not really convinced about he gives me this Dele Alli vibes a player who scores goals and assists when the system is tailored to fit him but you won't dominate the midfield with him in the 10 role.

BlueMann:
Gbam. Senior Man Kelz is the most technically gifted and most talented of our attackers IMO. Just can't lay a finger on what his exact problem is.

Focus, Drive, passion maybe? In as much as those words have been used to mock players - case in point Passion Pount - they've indeed vital.

They're questions as to whether he can function as the main striker though. He and Osimhen seem a dream combo - on paper at least.

Kelechi is not a striker he's a 10 and False9 playing him in as a striker will limit his efficiency and effectiveness. Allow him to roam freely across the frontline and he will deliver. He is intelligent no doubt but expecting him to be a proper 9 is not ideal for his characteristics

Will this foolish Tuchel learn?

Guy rest

Oga Ibime which midfielder will you suggest for Chelsea that can pass well and shield the defence?

Abu Qilabah (رحمه الله) said:

“It is only the storyteller-preachers (al-qusas) who have killed knowledge. A man listens to a storyteller for a year without really learning anything that will last, whereas a man who sits with a scholar for an hour learns what will last and benefit him before he even gets up.”

Taking a Bonus For Doing A Good Job
Question:

If an employer gives an employee a bonus for doing his job well, is this considered a bribe, particularly if we consider that it is more than the originally agreed upon salary?
Answer:

No, as long as this is an encouragement from the employer, this bonus is not a bribe. However, it is a bribe when the employee will do his agreed upon job only if he receiving a bonus. It is unlawful in this situation because he is receiving extra money for work he is already paid for and is already required to do. There is a clear distinction between giving money as a bonus to encourage an employee to do his job and between giving a bonus to an employee so that he will do his job. An employee must do what he is obliged to do whether he receives a bonus or not.
So taking a bonus is permissible in the case you mentioned. But sometimes an employee may get so used to the idea of a bonus, that he will be expecting it in the future, and when he doesn’t get it, he will be remiss in his work duties. If this result is feared, the employer should not give a bonus because the means to something carries the same judgement at the end.

BlueMann:
Gerrard will not be in the dugout for tomorrow's game between Chelsea and Aston Villa. He's isolating, after testing positive for covid.

I don't know why they are endangering the lives of players and coaches by not postponing the league for a while to ascertain the level of spread.

Ibime:
Too many unnecessary strikers

The reason CAF expanded to 28 is because of Covid. Shey na only strikers dey get Covid?

If Covid hits just a couple of our midfielders, we're fùcked.

The midfield is thin on paper maybe he wants to play an ultra-attacking formation the type being used by Nagelsmann, also I think we are short of good midfielders.

donstan18:
It was last week that I said people find a way to criticize Nigeria songs and movies just to look intelligent.

The only difference from Nigeria and foreign songs is just accent. Their contents are all same.

Money, love, weed, sex and crime.

That’s all.

Before I stopped listening to music Nigerian artistes didn't entice me only few of them I feel, the likes of Pherocious, Terry Tha Rapman, Mode9, Jesse Jagz, Eldee, IllBliss, Phenom, Brymo and Banky W these ones could measure lyrically with lyricists outside the shores of Nigeria but as for others they're noisemakers. As for the females artistes Simi is the only one with the vocal range and melody

"What to do with Riba (interest) Money of a New Muslim
Question:

I am a recent Muslim and I still get various answers to what i should do with riba money left in my account as in what to do with it? Some told me give it to charities, some to poor people and some to give back to bank! They all seem good but I need to know the real answer, as in the true one?
Answer:

All praise is due to Allah and may Allah shower peace and blessings upon His Messenger, as for what follows.
The answer to the questioner's inquiry, in which he mentions that he embraced Islam and has some wealth derived from usurious (interest-laiden) financial transactions during his time as a Non-Muslim, so what does he do with it? We respond saying:

Whatever usurious monies or transactions were a part of his wealth during his period of Kufr (disbelief), he is not at fault for them.

Also, any transactions set into motion during his period of Kufr and then continued after accepting Islam, and these contracts continue between him and others (like usurious loans and sales), then it is not allowed for him to benefit from them and he has no claim to those benefits and must only take what Islam has allowed for him to take, which is the initial capital.

This is due to Allah's statement, "... and if you make Taubah (repentance). you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums)..." [al-Baqarah 2:279]

Also, the Hadith during the Prophet's - sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam - fairwell Hajj (pilgrimage), "Verily, all usurious dues accruing from Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era) stand wiped out. And the first amount of interest that I remit is that which Abbas bin Abdul Mutallib had to receive. Verily, it is being remitted entirely. You shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly, and you shall not be dealt with unjustly."

And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the world

After answering the question, the Shaikh added:

The Prophet -sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam - never ordered those who embrace Islam -from the Sahabah- to get rid of the usurious monies from their (existing) wealth.

This should suffice you I think.

The Evils Of Interest Based Loans & Mortgages
Question:

Is it allowed for me to take out a loan (Mortgage) from a bank that deals with interest to buy a house? Benefit us may Allaah reward you with good.
Answer:

Even if you were in dire need of eating a piece of bread to save yourself from death still don't borrow anything from the bank whatsoever, let alone buying a house or a car. When one is in a adverse situation forced by circumstance (severe hunger) Allaah has made lawful for you al-Maitah (dead animals), and the flesh of swine, and that which has been killed by a violent blow or by a headlong fall; yet ar-Ribaa (interest) has not been allowed for you, interest is very dangerous, very dangerous. So don't deal with interest and be patient; since Allaah the Perfect and the Most High mentions:

And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him. (Surah At-Talaq 65:2-3)

So dealing with interest is a grave sin, a dangerous matter and the one who makes it allowable has disbelieved. Therefore if you are in need of a house then be patient until Allaah provides it for you, seek refuge in Allaah and utilise the necessary means until Allaah paves the way for you to obtain a house. Either that or you die being free from waging war against Allaah. Since the Muraabi (the one who deals with interest) is warring with Allaah - and Allaahs refuge is sought - as Allaah the Perfect and the Most High mentions:

And if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allaah and His Messenger but if you repent, you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums). (Surah al-Baqarah 2:279)

He (Allaah) declares war upon the people of ar-Ribaa (interest) and "the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) cursed the usurper of interest, the one who pays it, the one who records it and the two witnesses to it."

[Reported by Muslim in his Sahih (11/36 no.1598 - Nawawi) from the Hadith of Jaabir radiallaahu 'anhu]

What do you want after the curse?! Will the house benefit you when you are in front of the Hellfire?! So the believer should fear Allaah and should have patience upon his destitution and his need; for indeed Allaah the Perfect and the Most High mentions:

And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient ones. (Surah al-Baqarah 2:155)

Be patient and Allaah will give you this mighty reward instead of exposing yourself to His curse, His anger, His wrath and His punishment. Bear this severity in the world for it is nothing in comparison to the anger of Allaah and His punishment.

We ask Allaah that He protects us by His grace and favour from everything that incurs His anger and wrath. Indeed our Lord is All-Hearing of our supplications. And may the blessings of Allaah and peace be upon our prophet Muhammad, his family and upon his companions.

Just watched yesterday's match and it's the best I've seen us in recent weeks. The return of Kante and Kovacic is a blessing. If we can avoid injuries, it can only get better from here

Saul too impressed me yesterday

Havertz10:

Messi was on the pitch when his team lost to Bayern by 8-2 scoreline, Ronaldo was on the pitch when Barcelona walloped Real Madrid 5-0, Figo was present if my memory serves me right when Greece shocked Portugal in 2004 Euros final. An influential player may not be able to change the course of his team performance when things decide to be bad no matter how hard he tries. Note: I'm not comparing Mount to the names I mention here I'm only letting you know that sometimes a person of influence cannot always influence outcomes.

A001:
Who criminalized not wearing clothes? Is everything okay with you?

In a rush to reply without understanding their points you ended insulting the person. The person you quoted was actually supporting your view somehow but due to the persecution complex in you, you ended up feeling attacked

BlueRayDick:
I don’t know why the message in this photo is kind of hilarious to me; maybe cos whitemen tend to exaggerate things sha . So the white man is saying as recent as July 1960 people in Abakaliki in the present eastern Nigeria don’t even don a loin clothe and there was a move to prosecute them for it ?

Na wa o, now I understand the pain of some of these anti-imperialists people like teejay . Why criminalize not wearing of clothes if what is written in that screenshot is correct ?

They tend to lie and exaggerate when telling the story of Africans to their audience to justify their evil.

BlueRayDick:
Una don start with this war of words again .... chai!

If someone begin to tell a lie repeatedly it isn't out of place for him/her to be corrected but when obstinacy is observed from such individual then harshness should be used else he will mislead a lot into believing the falsehood. Nobody has a monopoly of being insensitivity and impolite in a discussion, I do discuss with atheists, agnostics, christians and idol worshippers we maintain decency but when an ill-mannered individual thinks he can talk anyhow I will engage with him in the language he understands.
Take for instance I have disagreed with you on several issues but you present your points without being offending even though I disagreed with you the conversation remained largely civil.

Ibn Qudamah said,

”If a person knows everything yet does not know Allah, it is as if he knows nothing at all.”

(Minhaj al-Qasidin, p.155)

Low-budget 'Wole Soyinka' can't make his point without calling religious people unintelligent ( in context).

DonJ my problem with you is that sometimes you like chestbeating when you could have just ignore and move on doing so makes you look overbearing and childish even if you're right.
On the issue of African (this term is used unrestrictedly) culture we have culture some aspects of it can be found in other continents( this is due to the fact that we share certain similarities due to being from the same ancestor) while others are exclusive to Africans alone. Some of these are from the culture of Africans; communalism, fables, food, clothing, language and poetry.

If speaking one language will lead to unity then North Korea and South Korea won't have been at loggerheads for decades, neither would have Lebanon entered a 15year long civil war because they speak Arabic and French as lingua franca.
What brings about peace and unity are creedal belief and justice. When these two are missing if you like speak the same language and smile at each other at any given opportunity there won't be peace and unity.

Didn't know that cultism was prevalent in Nigeria like this


Government needs to start doing something about this asap, if they use the security of that association to dorminate a black market industry, Mexico will be child's play


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViTQ7N7iUQ0

The menace of cultism is not well spoken about in Nigeria because people in high places are using them to do their bidding. In a country where leaders are allegedly cultists

Jorginho lacks speed, stamina and upper body strength but he compensates these deficiencies with spatial awareness, on-field leadership, grit, ball recycling and strong mentality which endears him to coaches and teammates. Jorginho needs a capable deputy to give him a rest because he burns out quickly due to his low stamina, for the past couple of seasons he has spent with us he will start the league in good form on getting to busy period of the season his performances will drop.
He is good at what he does but we need an upgrade to challenge in all fronts because his stamina is good for cup competitions and not league especially the animal called EPL. I won't mind Douglas Luiz of Villa or Chalobah in the middle if we can get an upgrade, it's high time we move away from 3 atb formation to a more adventurous one like 4-2-3-1 or 433
