Roma Captain Lorenzo Pellegrini

“I don’t know what Lukaku would bring, but there are those who are working to make it happen. When it will be done, then we’ll see what he can bring, otherwise it’s like talking about any player in the world.”

Petrovic: "I’m so happy to be at Chelsea and I’m really excited to get started at this club. It’s a big step for me and it’s always been a dream of mine to sign for one of the biggest clubs in the world. Today I have achieved that goal and I’m so happy. Playing in the Premier League is something I’m really looking forward to doing and I hope to learn many things here at Chelsea. I can’t wait to meet everyone and play at Stamford Bridge."

Chelsea has completed the signing of goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic from MLS side New England Revolution.

Nicolas Jackson: "Obviously scoring for Chelsea is just an amazing feeling, but it was even better to do it at Stamford Bridge and in front of the fans. I thank them for their support and I hope there’s more to come!"

Bournemouth chairman Bill Foley: "Nicolas Jackson scored a goal last night, of course. We’d have liked to have him and we tried to get him back this year.

We had him last year and I believe we made a mistake because he didn’t pass his medical but actually he played much sooner than we thought he would. So I’m sorry we didn’t’ get him."

Raheem Sterling: "I want to get back to being obsessed with football. Just football 24/7 and nothing else and focus on top performances and goals and assists."

{Sky Sports}

Raheem Sterling: "I had a conversation with the gaffer earlier last week and we've gone through the role and I know exactly what he needs from me and it's as simple as that, I need to get on the back foot and do what I do and drive at players and get on it and that's when I'm most effective.

I came in a difficult period, that's all finished.. I think the most important thing, I've had a look at myself and I'm a person who always tries to analyse what I've been doing, what I've done wrong, what I can change."

Pochettino on Jackson: "His work ethic is amazing. We are not asking for him to run a lot or press. He has the potential to be a great striker. He needs time, and space to grow and his qualities are fantastic."

Pochettino: "We want a goalkeeper and one more offensive player, but the right profile. It's what we need to provide the team with a good balance in different areas."

Pochettino on Jackson: "It's difficult to find a player like him, either on other teams or on the market."

Amoto94:
The midfielders are far apart with leaving huge gaps for Luton to exploit behind the lines. Enzo needs to drop back to form a midfield two with Caicedo allowing Gallagher to operate further forward. Jackson has been feeding off scraps.

"Still don’t think Caicedo 6 with Gallagher & Enzo playing high as 8s is optimal. No coincidence Chelsea’s goal came with the trio in close proximity to increase speed of build-up. Chelsea first phase also average. Prefer double pivot of Enzo-Caicedo with Gallagher movement ahead. Premier League Panel

Please you once gave me a distinction between a Moslem and a Muslim or Islam, I can't recall, can you re-educate me on that?

Donjazet2:
Wow, thanks. Didn't know this.

So amoto, where do you fall in, Muslim or moslem?

Hasselbaink on Jackson-Drogba comparison: "They’re totally different. If you talk about Didier Drogba that’s not fair on the boy. But we all know that his runs his work rate is absolutely magnificent. I actually think he’s doing too much. I want to see him around the box a little bit more, but I want his team-mates to find him a little bit more around the box."

JP Morgan estimates Nigeria’s net external reserve to be around $3.7 billion
CBN to JP Morgan: Your $3.7 billion estimate of Nigeria’s FX reserve is misleading
Nathanael DisubyNathanael Disu 20 hours ago Reading Time: 2 mins read

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has criticized JP Morgan’s recent estimate of Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves, calling it a misrepresentation.

Hassan Mahmud, Director of the Monetary Policy Department at CBN while speaking with Nancy Umeh on AIT’s Moneyline business show.

He said fluctuations, liabilities, and encumbrances to the reserves were only natural and normal.

CBN’s Perspective on the Figures
Mahmud noted that the CBN did not panic over JP Morgan’s numbers, indicating that the central bank had its Befin-house assessment of the situation. He said:

“We also read the JP Morgan numbers in-house and we didn’t panic over that. That’s not the first time we see people, institutions reeling out numbers; they must have their intentions to do that, whether to rouse market sentiments or to mislead the public.”
“But the central bank has tried as much as possible to be transparent. What I will say about those numbers is that it is just funny in the sense that number one, reserves like any account balance, is a flow; there are changes that go within it at any particular time.
“Two, even if you have outstanding liabilities, you don’t mark the outstanding liabilities to market on a day and say this is your net balance.”
Liabilities and Balance Clarification
Mahmud also highlighted the concept of outstanding liabilities and their impact on the reported net balance.
He argued that reducing the balance to account for the liability would not accurately reflect the individual’s current financial standing, as it ignores the future inflows that can cover the liability.
“I can have $20 million in my account and I am owing someone maybe $13 million that is supposed to be paid in 2027; you can’t come in 2023 and say if I remove that $13 million, your money is $7 million or you are having $7 million.
“Now, I am not having $7 million, I am having $20 million. ore I took a facility of $13 million, I know I will get $17 million in the next three years so I can pay you back.
“But for you to come and tell me that no, your balance is $7 million and you can’t pay back in three years; it’s just putting it out of context.
“I don’t know how they did their calculations, and I don’t have any information about that, but we also saw those numbers that came out.” https://nairametrics.com/2023/08/24/cbn-slams-jp-morgan-says-its-estimate-of-nigerias-fx-reserve-is-misleading/

🚨 According to @DiMarzio - Roma would be prepared to pay 100% of Romelu Lukaku’s wages if he was to join on loan.

Chelsea have decided to let Romelu Lukaku exit on temporary basis if no sale agreed. Chelsea and his reps working all summer for permanent but now open to loan + obligation or straight loan + meaningful fee.

Jamie Carragher: "Even though we were really impressed with Chelsea’s first two games, if you said to me 'how many players do they need to challenge Manchester City, I'm not speaking about winning the league?'

"I still think they need a goalkeeper, even though they just signed Sanchez. They probably still need a top center-half because Thiago Silva's 38. I don't think there's a real out and out goalscorer. Your goalscorer doesn't have to be your centre-forward."

Is there a Nigerian FinTech company not running some sort of fraud. I feel genuine pity for people keeping their money with these people. E better to try your luck with Sportybet or Bet9ja at least when you lose you know you selected wrong games

I don't think it's fair to generalize that they're into fraud what I think happens most times is overestimation of their capacity while underestimating the risks they will face. At the end of the day when problems occur they face difficulties because they weren't prepared for such

There is truth in this, what you seem to be forgetting is that the first step of justice is the admonishment of guilt by the culprit. That is to say, the guilty party accepts that what he did is absolutely terrible, but in a situation whereby people are still making excuses for the culprit without recognizance of his fault exposes that unwillingness for the issue to be sufficiently addressed and justice meted out.

You can hear people still saying till now that the court has declared him not guilty when nothing of the such happened. So can you see that justice hasn't taken it's course yet?

The accuser dropped the case and is even pregnant for the accused there is more to the story than what we are meant to believe, the accuser has since dropped the case why can't others move on instead of trying to tie the boy to the stake and burn him alive? Isn't this akin to crying more than the bereaved?
