SportsGuardian Uk's Pick Of 6 Young Players To Watch: Four Are Nigerian-born by sinorte(op): 4:16am On Aug 09, 2021
Carney Chukwuemeka (Aston Villa)
“Probably the best 16-year-old in England” was how Chukwuemeke was described by Villa’s CEO, Christian Purslow, in March last year. The hype looks well justified now: the midfielder was named the academy’s player of the season after helping the under-18s to victory in the FA Youth Cup, piquing the interest of Bayern Munich and Juventus, before committing pen to paper for Villa. Confident, skilful and rangy, Chukwuemeke is the jewel in the crown of an academy filled with big prospects – and given what’s happened at Villa Park this summer, an exciting homegrown playmaker would be just what the doctor ordered.

Michael Olise (Crystal Palace)
Patrick Vieira’s first signing for Crystal Palace registered 12 goals and seven assists for Reading last term on his way to being named the Championship’s young player of the season. It prompted Palace to fork out £8m for a player who does not turn 20 until December. Wilfried Zaha and Eberechi Eze have shown that Selhurst Park is the perfect place for a tricky young winger to make the step up to Premier League stardom. Olise’s first task is to compete with them for a place in the side; if he can earn a starting spot in that company, the rest should be easy.

Billy Gilmour (Norwich)
A Champions League winner in May and man of the match against England at the Euros in June, Gilmour is hardly an unknown but it is time for a player of high repute to add to his five Premier League starts. A season’s loan at Norwich, where there is an Emi Buendía-shaped gap in the playmaking department, looks like the perfect platform. At Chelsea, where many a promising youngster has been consigned to the loan system, those in the know are convinced Gilmour is destined for the first team – and with Mason Mount having blazed a trail in that regard, could a home-grown midfield pairing be just a year away?


Anthony Elanga (Manchester United)
The striker was spotted by United as a 12-year-old shortly after his family had relocated from Stockholm – where his father, Joseph, part of Cameroon’s 1998 World Cup squad, played left-back for Malmö. Seven years later he is on the fringes of the first team, scoring on his second appearance on the final day of last season. Having added another two in pre-season, the man who succeeded Mason Greenwood as the club’s young player of the year will hope to reap the benefits of a busy fixture list. “The boy is electric,” was the verdict given last month by Ole Gunnar Solksjær – a manager always keen to give youth a chance.

Ademipo Odubeko (West Ham)
A sharp two-footed striker, Odubeko has been described by David Moyes as “a player we have big hopes for” and with good reason: the Hammers poached the free-scoring teenager from Manchester United amid interest from a number of European heavyweights. He averaged more than a goal a game for West Ham Under-23s last season having done the same for the Under-18s the season before. Even with another summer arrival, a side that last season relied too heavily on an increasingly injury-prone Michail Antonio look worryingly light up front. Could Odubeko be the answer to West Ham’s perennial goalscoring woes?

Folarin Balogun (Arsenal)
A prolific striker at youth level, Balogun signed a much wrangled-over four-year contract in April and has been handed the No 26 shirt. Arsenal are not short of attacking prospects – just as well given the form of their senior forwards – but with Mikel Arteta more than happy to trust in youth, the New York-born 20-year-old will surely be given his chance this term. With two senior goals in last season’s Europa League to his name despite having yet to kick a ball in the Premier League, Balogun could be just what is needed at the Emirates to shake up a side outscored by Leeds and West Ham last season.[/b]

The question wasn't complete.
@sinorte, painters prefer the cleaning is done after they are done. This may be because they don't want to do any cleaning of the mess they leave behind. They could easily touch stained walls while cleaning their mess.
Walls may be stained while cleaning after painting is done and with no painter and exact color for the part stained available, it would not be easy unless it's a cleanable paint.
What I can infer from this is that it's better to have the two of them on site at the same time. I'd have preferred to have the cleaning done after painting, but I'm just worried about the cleaners messing up the painting during cleaning.

the submersible pump is sold based on horsepower, the horsepower you should buy depends on the depth of the borehole and the quantity of water in the well. A 0.5hp pump can pump water to a distance of 50meters or more which should be ideal for you. installing a higher horsepower without sufficient water in the borehole will likely burn your pump. Interdap submersible pump is a good pump to buy and the 0.5hp is about 47-50k

PropertiesRe: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by sinorte: 10:25am On May 16, 2021
Aimolatunde1:
1. Interlocking stones are not load bearing components so you don’t need granite. You can use it only if you want, then you are advised to use half inch granite.
2. Using stone dust all through is bad for your stones. You should combine stone dust with sharp sand (gutter sand or washed sand will give the best results). The mix ratio should be 60:40 (sharpsand : stone dust). If you use only stone dust, it wouldn’t take time to erode. Stone dust help you achieve a fine finish but they are not strong for bonding.

Your mix ratio matters too, remember.
Thank you sir. This is much appreciated.

What I understood from your post is that I can use sharp sand, cement and half inch granite to make the stones (in the right ratio), in a situation where the cost of the stone dust is too much for me. Please confirm.

Please I need your advice on external wall screeding before painting.

I would really love to screed before painting, at least to correct some cracks (i think resulting from plastering), but was thinking painting, especially when well done, should be able to 'cover it up'. Cost is another reason why I might hold back on the screeding.

What do you think please?
